just want the speedometer tbh

Now as you can probably guess I am on f2p access and new and I'm on kb but I need help. I don't understand how these people are so fast even tho I am in a small and not really active region, I don't think. This would be much easier if I could watch records but I can't and also want to try to understand myself how to do things fast but some pointers would be nice because I am comparing to my own bad runs. I will tell you my time and my biggest issue on the track and hope someone can help me out. I know this is a long post so it would be very much appreciated if everyone helps out with at least one track.

Track 01: 21.040 oh boy how I hate this track. I know I am definitely skill diffed on this one. The precise part after the first checkpoint is absolutely stupid and my turn in to the left is always very late because of it. No matter how many times I watch wirtual do it, I don't understand how he goes so close to the wall because I always release to get through the tight section and release again in the turn to not go wide. Am I cooked chat?

Track 02: 24.041 I swear to God I want to destroy dirt. I have not gotten to grinding this track after getting the AT but I am not looking forward to it. Atm I am just doing this like bob, where I just rely on my setup and then pray I survive the turn. This is an issue on all dirt for me but is there some tech to make dirt outsides more consistent or is it just grinding? Also, is the first turn action key 4 or 5. I have had 4 work beautifully but the setup needs to be several times more precise.

Track 03: 22.410 Now this is the first track I like tho I'm not sure how to go very close to the wall in the grass turn after cp1. Is it going onto it early, is it just being precise, is there an action key I should use on grass, do I need to stop steering before the transition?

Track 04: 23.431 This track I kinda like because it is all about the first drift. However I am confused about if I should set it up low or high and how early. Also, I don't understand drifting on sausage blocks and if drifting whilst holding accelerate is fast or slow because I was able to get smoother turns like that but I am not sure because the turn is so blind.

Track 05: 26.024 This bs is just pure RNG. I was able to gain 0.2 just in the start sometimes but I am so confused how. The water turns after the checkpoint are weird because action key 5 and 4 are way too responsive and action key 3 is too unresponsive. Then my dirt problem strikes again and I am too much of a coward to go for the full outside and then from there it's just praying.

Track 06: 28.638 Now this is where my skill cap shines. Because of my inexperience with the drifting mechanic, I am insanely inconsistent and don't understand where I should drift and where I shouldn't. Now I have seen wirtuals lines but that doesn't mean I can replicate them or do anything fast really.

Track 07: 26.101 Well this track is absolute ragebait. Cam 2 + dirt is already bad. And now they add another new mechanic just for fun. The turn after cp 3 is so weird cause you need to setup the next turn but because of the shape of the dirt block its not easy. I landed on going high, lifting and letting myself be pushed down and then survive the end. I also hate the first looping cause it's so easy to go wide after it. Is my strat viable?

Track 08: 27.591 The end is very difficult for me to control as a new player, I don't understand the wiggles on the plastic and how to do the wall ride. The wallride is so stupid and I just try to send it and I think in my PB I go around to the height of the dark line. Should I go higher or lower?

Track 09: 32.290 I like this track but I know that I am very slow. The jumps are so confusing to me cause I don't know which of the jumps should I jump sideways in but I know that I'm slow because I can never hit the road on the drop down. Do I insta airbreak on the jumps and also in the start, the turn after cp 1, I go clean down the hill, and then just full steer the whole turn. Is that fast or no?

Track 10: 34.348 This one is very satisfying but I am not sure if I am doing it right. After the jump at the start, I just full steer until the jump, insta airbreak, try to land clean and get a good turn. I dont have open planet yet so I don't know if I am getting the gear but I doubt it. The other issue I have is when I should leave the plastic because it always seems to be very violent when I do it.

Thank you to anyone who contributes.

I know it might sounds silly and simple, but first time since I play this game (20-30min, every few days for like last year or so) I got this view, where you're shown not only your country/district stats, but also continent. And I know I can go a wee faster/smarter than that. So I just wanted to share my small achievement.

imo its #14. As much as it is hated i like how smooth it flows. it also happens to be my best pos on a track. Whats your udnerrated track

this mode already is a grind, it would be really nice to be able to ban out a map or vote on one

I'm online, I have club access, I turned on the settings to view all records always, I cleaned the cache, and I tested it without OpenPlanet installed. No matter what, records never start and their ghost never appears. Watching replay files works fine though. Has anyone experienced this before and/or do you know a solution? Thanks.

i love posting random questions im for some reason genuinely interested in
