Easily should be able to find that time. A bunch of it is being smooth!

@RedHeadRacing45 ill give it a go! I have like 9 free races up there so I think im gonna go practice before we run it lol

My question to you, how does the MX5 feel handling wise? As you’ve driven them irl. And is your real life experience, feel and skill translating so far to iRacing? Very curious

@@RedHeadRacing45 My 2017 ND is more twitchy than most cars due to the small wheelbase. But nowhere like in iRacing. But the gearing and speed on tracks I have driven like Laguna Seca are quite similar. Real life experience definitely translates. All the fundamentals - looking ahead, using the entire width of the track including kerbs, threshold braking, trail braking, car control are all there. The hardest thing still is judging the corner entry speed because in SIM, you lose the feeling of speed. It is coming along though, just more practice... If I knew SIM racing was this good, I would have got into it earlier. It certainly scratches the itch between track days and I can drive different cars and tracks which I would not be able to afford in real life.

😂😂

Mine is just super solid Velcro

me too

Interesting I’ve noticed recently the Vee crowd has been aggressssssiveeeee. Last few races have been the same in Vee vs 1600. Both can be terrible but 1600 I feel is easier to run away. Vee you can go 3-4 wide😂 different type of intense when the racing is good

I hear you! Same for me at first with the braking. I think for 70% of the short rookie races the tires feel like they’re on ice. Usually after lap 5-7 they come in tho and it can be fun. Just so easy to have an incident and crash out. I’d recommend Super Formula Lights. Good participation and still low powered enough to keep under control. Solid racing too.

Ngl if you struggle with the FF, you need to not go any further, I.e. avoid F4 or SFL, you’re not ready. The FF is not only easier, it’s also heaps of fun. And the FF is a necessary step. On the Vee because of how oversteery it is off-throttle you spend little time under braking and in many tracks you end up just lifting instead of braking. And that is going to create a MASSIVE gap in your skillset. Braking is by far the most important skill you’ll need to be fast. The FF will teach you how to handle your braking and trail braking much better than the Vee ever could. Don’t get me wrong I love the Vee and still race it at times. I started out with the Vee and won my first race in it, and at first I would struggle with the FF too. Now the FF is my go to car to learn a track. I think the progression for beginners from Vee to FF is as perfect as it could ever be. You can learn how to find the racing line, tons of racecraft and throttle management with the Vee. Then you hop on the FF to learn how to set up your references better and improve your ability under braking without fostering bad habits. I think one of the biggest mistakes beginners make (and I made myself) is going on to quicker cars too early. I jumped on the SFL way too early and even though I loved the car (and still do) the fact of the matter is that you end up with bad trail braking habits in a much quicker car where it becomes a lot harder to fix them because you have much less time to think. Some corners in the FF can take you 1-2 seconds where in the SFL may only take 0.5s. So now you have a little bit over a blink of an eye to try and figure out if you’re extracting as much rotation as possible, and to try and figure out if you’re under the limit and by how much and to try and figure out what braking pressure you used, where, when did you start trailing, when did you start turning in, did you turn in too aggressively or the opposite, etc. My biggest frustration in the SFL was practicing for hours to still be 2s of the pace in top split and not understanding why. I only ever did once I went back to the FF and could be more conscious about my inputs. If you can be truly fast in the FF (eg winning a top split in which Sam Devantier is not participating) you’ll be fast in most cars . If you can beat Sam then… damn what are you doing watching this video?

It is the summer so there will be a bit of driving everywhere but it could also mean you’re taking too much speed into the corners, or getting on power to early or arent braking in a straight line. I have a video on my channel that is a guide to podium and track guide, check it out!!

That’s the best way to do it!! Smooth is fast took me a while to understand. But for my driving style it’s the only way to get the job done

Yes usually great racing and the draft is so insane so you can’t run away like you can in 1600. I’m B class. I still race it 😂

Drifting everywhere or specific places? Depends on the time of the year as summer is lot more slippery. But multiple things could be causing that

@@RedHeadRacing45 mostly just around the big corners(the ones that are practically u turns) I think it’s because I have too much entry speed

Who doesn’t???

You got it!!

Nope! Try again

😂😂👌

Now name it specifically

It is not

Exactly. Not a 2

😂😂

Close! LO206

Do you know which?

Correct! Can you name the specific 4 stroke??👀

@@RedHeadRacing45 no idea

@@RedHeadRacing45Nigel

Always! How am I supposed to predict ??

Which line??

I mean the '2' you showed. Not trying to hate or anything, but that seems like the logical line to move to outside ahead of corner (the left in this case) to set up a sharp corner. It's the thing I naturally would want to do when I know there's gonna be a left soon afterwards. That's why I said the standard line, because it doesn't really seem (yo me at least) like a special trick to go more to the left before the corner.

I guess it could actually be a good thing to point out to go back to the left since the track has a curve inwards on that barrier so it's not really a straight ahead of the corner in question. Still seems like a standard line though

Exactly! To the second part. It’s a very short section and 80% of people that go here never thought to do that. I agree if you have Motorsport experience it is the standard line you’d take. However, some people have tried to argue with me that keeping the wheel straight was faster no scrubbing. (Even tho we no it’s not as it increases distance and sets up worse for next corner.) Well done though mate! Youre probably a solid racer💯💯

Ok yeah I see how people could think it's slower since you're going in a less straight line, that makes sense. Sorry if it seemed like a hate comment btw. See you on track mate!

😂nah

Wym??😂😂

Super subtle for sure. But = that last tenth of a second

Yes yes ik. I’ve been corrected did not know how to say it lmao

Hahahah no situational awareness

It was a first for me. Super strange

Can be. Also can kind of suck when new people are crashing the karts and not treating the track with any respect 😢

Would be way too hard and heavy to have that as an option. But I hear ya
