look don't get me wrong here, i'm not saying practice on computer won't help, i just find it questionable to say you can go flat out on your first Ring lap based on computer experience.

Computers will help memorizing all turns, but real life adds a lot to the mix.

Since flat out to me, means maxing out the lap speed for the given car, maxing out acceleration, breaking, cornering speeds and top speeds

I would hate to think that anybody shows up in a respectfully potent car,
with the intent of "maxing it out" on lap one of the Ring on the basis that "i practiced at home"

For obvious reasons, maxing out a Reliant Robin, is not the same as maxing out a GT3
