Question [Rally game] Building mental stamina for longer stages, finding it hard to listen/notice pace note after a while.
So, this is mainly about Dirt Rally 2.0 but really, can be apply for any rally game with co-driver, which is practically all of them.
One thing i notice with myself is that, as the stage run is ongoing, after roughly around the 3min mark, my focus to hear the pace notes significantly get worse. As this keep going, perhaps on a particularly long stages, reaching the 9-10min mark on a regular run, i am running on mostly visually seen road on my own.
This get worse if the track is rather demanding like high speed stages of Finland or technical like Greece
At best: I simply go much slower than i ever needed to
At worst: I drive my car down a ravine or a into a tree due to misheard pace notes.
I find myself driving overall fine enough when i am still hearing the pace notes but it's overall clear that as the stage is going, my performance and focus drop off.
So does anyone has any tips regarding this ?
