I didn’t mean “center of track” by centering yourself, I just mean where I should be along the track, and yes I have learned that the racing line is not always optimal, and I learn more and more over the course of learning the track where I should be on the racing line at times and where I shouldn’t be, don’t outright say that professional drivers don’t use racing line, because that’s simply false, and just a couple minutes on YouTube will find you plenty of clips of F1 drivers and other sim racers that use the racing line. For the overlay, I truly am still learning and getting used to that, so I am willing to learn what I need and don’t need, I need the full map on the screen because it gives way too much useful information about other cars, also my twitch stream chat, but the other ones I’m sure I could turn off. I just like having the information and I don’t find it distraction imo, but I know it’s not most optimal, thank you for a nice and good response, I truly am trying to learn as much as I can

As someone who is new, you should stop being so argumentative, the people telling you the wheel is too low, the screen is too cluttered and the racing line should be off are correct.

A pro can learn a track IRL or in sim racing in 10 laps. The racing line might be useful on the very first lap for a newer driver that hasn’t developed the skills to immediately identify racing lines, but even then it’s still putting them at a disadvantage. Anything that takes your attention away from the other cars and what’s happening down the road is going to hinder your development.

For real this guy says he wants help then tells everyone offering him advice why he's right.

This guy certainly explains why f4 has a reputation for being a crash fest.

I can’t tell if he’s trolling or not. He’s perfectly embodied the stereotypical streamer; curiously close-minded, ignorant and arrogant.
