1 piece of advice
 
Ok, help me pass a dull Friday afternoon -

What 1 single piece of advice would you give a newbie?

Just 1, the most important in your opinion.

Bathy 19-01-2007 02:07 PM
Have fun!

jimmy 19-01-2007 02:11 PM
slow down and you'll go faster!

mark christopher 19-01-2007 02:11 PM
"allways wear protection":D

philly 19-01-2007 02:11 PM
OOPS!
 
Dont lend your second car to a friend who's never driven before and expect it to come back in one piece!;)

What Jimmy said. Crash less and your lap times will be faster. Drive Smooth.

Surely fun must be right up there then? I'm a newbie and just think that for all the money I could spend I dont know if that would equal more fun-what does everybody think???;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;) :) ;)

Great advice.

I'd heard of slowing down to go longer, but I'll try it for faster too. ;)

Agreed! If you come last and you're grinning, then you're a winner.

oooo I'm so deep!

Well, I think the most important rule is, never get a russian e-mail address.

Second, Just have fun, oo and to learn something from RC

More than 1 I know, but hey, I am generous

I'll let you off - just dont beat me in your first ever race when yours in running!!!;)

daz 19-01-2007 03:10 PM
my bit of advice is: Dont eat yellow snow!!!!

jim76 19-01-2007 03:14 PM
learn to drive fast with a 27t motor first before you install an 8 double trying to keep up with the experienced guys. by making the car faster in a straight line you will just crash more and do more damage/cost!!

Wraggy 19-01-2007 03:20 PM
something someone told me ages ago and its a good phrase.
"to finish 1st, first you must finish!" ;)

BenG 19-01-2007 03:49 PM
don't run before you can walk

Spencer Mulcahy 19-01-2007 04:20 PM
Learn the track and find a line that you are happy with and try to stay to that line all race (That is what I am trying to do) then your lap times will tumble. Race the track not other people if you try to keep up with the fast boys you will crash.;)

bigred5765 19-01-2007 04:25 PM
have fun, see who is going fast round the track, and ask setup advice of them

LiamD 19-01-2007 04:43 PM
Don't snort astroturf off XXX-4s.

Drive slow enough to stay in the fast line.

Chrislong 19-01-2007 11:20 PM
Practice Practice Practice

But do it while knowing/realising your current capabilities, and having a goal. Don't be affraid of taking along your worst critic (Dad), and listen.
