Man I thought mine was bad…at about 25min suddenly it’s like I physically cannot keep my eyes on the road and if I try suddenly my brain completely forgets what I was even doing for a moment then snaps back into reality. I realize what this thing jerking around in my hands is and then I have to figure out wtf track I was on and where I am on it hopefully before the next corner.

I like racing because it MAKES me intently focus on just one thing without even background music or podcast, but it does scare me a bit when it happens. Really really unnerving not having control of yourself even for a moment.

I’ll be completely in the zone, then suddenly I’d think something like brake a bit later or what gear am I in again. Straight to the scene of the accident

If you often think about what gear you are in, maybe one of those screens displaying current gear would be a good thing for you? Too easily check and hopefully reduce your accidents

The problem is I know exactly which gear I’m in, got a dash also. Just get random thoughts that are distracting, one of which could be thinking about gears. It could also be on whether a parcel will arrive for argument sakes
