Other than just racing, are there other methods that can make you faster? (Examples/Questions)

I’m wondering if there are ways to get faster lap times other than the obvious “practice practice practice”. Here are specific examples I’m wondering about:

  1. Turning off Motion Blur or any other graphics settings.
  2. Learning how to tune my own cars rather than using other people’s tunings
  3. Turning down controller vibration

Or if you guys can think of any other methods, please list them. Thanks. =)

Pick a Rivals event that forces everybody into the same car.

Set your best possible time.

Look up the Leaderboards and find a driver who is half a second faster than you.

Race against their ghost.

Repeat the process when you beat it, until you find a ghost you can’t beat.

This method will introduce you to the driving lines and braking/turning points of other players and their performance could “pull” you forward.

As for 1 & 3 i don’t think so, unless you are being distracted so much that you start doing mistakes. Low fps might be a hindrance as it could keep you from being consistent i guess.

As for tuning, if you could make the absolute perfect tune fitting your driving style sure it could be quicker than someone elses tune. But to get to the point where you know exactly how you need your car and how to get it that way takes a lot of time and dedication id say.

As PJ said chasing ghosts is a good way to improve your driving skills
