mmm maybe the spectators that have such big opinions should race at a competitive event, they own skylines if we all had the same attitude and watched and whinged there would be no event either as no one would be racing
When I race I don't think about the other car as I have enough to think about without worrying about them aswell the only time I worry is if they're still in front as I cross the finish line this is especially with DYO as if I block them out and run my own race I know I'm more consistant and have to adapt my staging/driving style to each event as the rules apply to all of us not just one of us
As for staging to quick I rush into stage so I have time to build boost to be honest I don't give a flying f*ck, at freaky friday street car shootout in the semi final I rushed into stage brought the car up on boost and waited what seemed like for ever for the other car to stage which by then I had heak soaked everything and I was down on mph and lost but had the 10 sec rule been applied there I mightn't of near cooked everything and may of been able to race on Sunday but as it goes you win some and you lose some
thats racing
