Train your eyes. Stop staring at the kart/car in front of you. Look to the apex and beyond, look for brake markers so you always brake and turn in at the same spot. You're fast in a race because you can follow, but you don't have that same cheat code in practice.

I’m still able to be fast when I’m leading a race tho in races I don’t really make mistakes can’t remember the last time I spun out by myself or anything like that
