it hasn't turned me into an rc god as I simply don't get the time to race ad much as I'd like to. but it certainly helps!

I'd second that, and also try to eat/drink regularly on race days. I didn't do this on Sunday and after 3 heats where I was gradually improving, in the 4th heat I forgot to put my transponder in and crashed at least once on every lap.
I suddenly realised that despite bringing a litre of orange juice with me it was 3pm and I hadn't drunk any of it. I drank about a third of the carton straight away and had some bananas and in the 1st leg of my final 40 minutes later I was back on the pace. Although the car does all the hard work you still need to look after yourself...
