Racing Technique: Same Car/Track or ALTERNATE?
When I started in iRacing for the first time, I was extremely afraid of developing bad habits because of my previously difficult experience with my classical piano career.
So I did everything possible to be always fully AWARE of my technique development, my inputs, and most importantly, my MUSCLE MEMORY.
Muscle memory is the automatic behavior you develop by just repeating things over and over again.
And the danger with it is that your body will learn and repeat ANYTHING, no matter if it's a good thing or not.
So ensure you're repeating your inputs for months and months only if you're 100% sure you're in the right direction.
This is only really bad if you do the same wrong techniques for many months, so don't worry too much.
Just be aware that you need to analyze your own driving technique from time to time and make that little extra effort to improve it if you really want results.
PS: It gets way more fun when you drive better, and it also feels less demanding, less frustrating and less tiring.
Doing a 4-hour stint on an endurance event feels absolutely wonderful when everything is in place and you're safe and consistent!
