“I know exactly how you feel”. So you’re tired and hungry too?
I really like and appreciate your videos, great work!!
Did you race F3 a couple years back? Pretty sure I recognize your name?
@@codygrams haha yes I did, maybe a little too much lol. Those were the days in iRacing though…
@@connorbellracing I thought so! I miss the Thursday F3 SOF race. 😢
@@codygrams Yup, miss those days too. It was one of the most competitive series there was back then
Great tips, do you have any tips on not getting sandwiched between accidents? For example, the 3 cars ahead are all battling, you see the accident happening and react accordingly just to get slammed into by other drivers, or if it's something I can get around, since I've slowed up so much, the drivers behind me will pit maneuver me or just straight hit me out of their way.
thanks for the tips!
great video as usual 🐐
Just what I needed!🥲
So glad I could help 🥳😅
Good tips bro
For a second i thought this was suellio
Great video and well explained. Thank you
@@simonjohnade Thanks!
Great video, Connor 👍
@@MrPibbsTrueno Much appreciated
tip 1 GET OUT OF GT3 D CLASS STAY IN MAZDA OR GR86
Suellio Almeida ahhh editing. Haha jokes but really great video mate. Suelio editing for sure though, it’s obvious.
@@ArturoDrives lol I work for the Motor Racing Academy ;)
Incredibly informative and well delivered. Subbed
Very clear. Nice
@@ImLehwz Much appreciated
It would have helped to see your pedal inputs on screen during your live demonstration at the end of the video. But another great video! Keep it up! 👍
Ahhh THATS what I forgot, I knew I missed something. My apologies! Thanks for watching anyways
@@connorbellracingIf possible, it would be interesting to also add a time trace/delta to see how you're technique is gradually improving your time through the corner with each pass.
@@jk87876Agreed. But keep in mind the goal of the exercise is to feel out exactly how much load the car can handle laterally (mid corner and exit), and then you adjust your entry to mesh both traces closer towards the apex. So while yes I’m obviously going through faster each run, it’s more to get an understanding of where the limit is more quickly and accurately, which then leads to going faster afterwards.
I am consistently inconsistent
Nice, keep it up!
Crest: A crest is the opposite of a compression, and typically happens in the transition between the track going uphill and downhill. Keep in mind that a crest can still be present even if the second stage is flat, as long as the initial phase is uphill. Think about crests as being the top of an upside-down V shaped hill. At this point the suspension is incredibly unloaded, meaning the car is much lighter over the track surface than usual, providing the driver with much less grip and control. You can see in the clip that I'm having to make more corrections with the steering going over crests, due to the grip deficit.
Compression: A compression is the transition point in between a downhill (or flat surface) and an uphill section. Think about compressions as being at the bottom of a U shaped surface. The suspension of the car compresses and loads up, forcing the tires harder into the track, meaning you will have more grip, allowing you to have more freedom with your inputs to slow and/or rotate the car (ex. braking harder, etc). You can see in the clip that my steering inputs are much more relaxed under compressions due to the influx of grip given to the car and driver.
How do we visually see temps that we are in the working range? When I don't brake as hard, the race is easy and only a few tenths behind, which is ok for longer races, but for those short 15-20 min races, I am faster pushing and activating ABS, it is alot more sketchy but faster. Not ideal for longer races, because the sketchy-ness will eventually catch up and bite ya in a corner or exit. So how do I know if my "pushing" is actually pushing. My pushing maybe a safe driving style to others. Tire surface temp visuals would help to know what really is "pushing" the limit.
Good stuff! These days I always lift off throttle fully before starting my initial braking (GT3 and occasionally LMP2), I found a lot of consistency in tire performance using this technique.
amazing video, thanks for share this with us.
Thank you. Many more videos like this one will be coming soon
Interesting!
Excellent video!
1.Overslowing on entry. Not searching for grip through steering lock on entry. 2.downshifted to 2nd gear a bit too late and left a bit of rotation/front grip on the table. 3.Not enough track usage on apex as a result of the 2nd mistake, therefore doesn't have enough front grip to use more steering lock and gain more rotation. Turned in late for the second apex.
1. Car B downshift too late on first left hander. 2.Not enough 5% trail brake, just dropped brakes and 3 could have used more track, still in first left hander.
1. Lingering on the brakes + consequent later turn in and lazy downshift. 2. Not enough steering lock at either apex. 3. Not using all the road in the middle of the chicane and on exit.
My guesses: Car B drags the brakes a bit too long, overslowing on entry. Then he delays the last downshift, losing a bit of rotation. Finally he's not using the track limits: on the second apex he's not cutting as much as possible, also A goes a bit wider on exit.
Comment here with what you think Driver “B” did wrong! The full answer will be revealed after.
Dude i didnt sub for this generic youtuber content 😆
"Consistently Inconsistent" 😂 frfr though I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm on my 5th month of iracing after spending thousands on a SIM Rig. After the panick of being terrible and feeling sick like I've made a thousands of dollars mistake. I've committed to allowing my license to drop back down where it belongs (I didn't race just stayed in the rear snd tried to get D license. Only to learn that idk shit about racecraft) so I took my time, learned my break points, I went from 1250 to 1450ish. Up and down from there. I've learned that I don't need to be first or last or DNC trying to ve first. I've learned some patience, and I'm parked around 1750ish rating within my first 6mos. I've watched hundreds of hours of training. And ALL of my free time is devoted to racing now. Its only average at best. But it's growth and thats exciting for me.
I'm pretty consistent... Consistently slow 😂
Im pretty consistent, but i never use breaking/ turn un points or any other reference points when i drive. Im usually ca 3sec off the wr and i want to come closer to it. Do you have any tips for how to get good reference points and how to think and analyze my own driving for maximum increase in pace?
For breaking points and turn in. Drive a few laps, close to your personal limit, go into replay and when you come to a braking zone, stop the replay and watch out for obvious markings around the track. Distance boards, the beginning or changing of curbs or tracks. Markings/lines/cracks on the track (not shadows). Advertising boards, different colors or breaks in roadside barriers. Go back on track an try to locate the markers you choose, while driving with decent speed.
@@-row-garfield3129iv'e never even watch a replay of mine let alone to analyse it, i'll try to do that and push my times further. im thankfull for your input.
@@tozkal96 with time you will see such things naturally while driving, but at the beginning it can be helpfull to find what kind of points are interesting and noticable as a help
Thanks for the video!
Great vídeo! Direct to the point
Great video. What I do in breaking zones is I'll break at the eg 2.3 point. I feel that I can consistently accurately estimate the first decimal for breaking zones market by a single digit. For corners where they are marked by # of meters, I will estimate my points down to increments of 10 meters, I feel I can't accurately estimate in any smaller increments than that eg 2.4 vs 2.3 or 140 vs 130 meters. Depending on the car uplifting early can decrease wheel spin especially out of slower corners. Being extremely familiar w/ when to up or downshift for that particular car can make a big difference especially if the gears are very wide apart or spaced unevenly. I see many people downshift the Formula Vee too early in some gears but not others. If the track is uphill, you can break harder than usual & there will be a more rear weight bias to the car and less likely to oversteer on turn in. Similarly on a downhill you may have to break more gently especially w/ trail breaking bk there will be a higher chance of the rear getting light and lockingup. You might want to adjust the break balance turn to turn to take advantage of shifting balance of the car bk of incline of the road (the best I can do is region of the track, 3-4 corners at a time). Also if your car's gas tank is at one end of the car, the car's weight distribution is going to change as you burn fuel. (Eg the Porsche Cup car will become more rear biased as the race goes on, so you may want to move the break bias forward to reduce snap oversteer under breaking (although there will be more POTENTIAL rear breaking bk of the more rear weight bias).
great video, thanks for the advice
I dont like the soundeffects made for ADHD people, but I understand they are common to use by now. Explanation is worth the stay.
Very good video. I'm 12 months into my iRacing and have watched hundreds of racing videos and scores of 'get faster' ones and I'm pretty sure your presentation here is going to find me some substantial extra pace. Even though I know it's wrong I still don't use markers on most corners, instead just going by my gut almost, but you have convinced me I need to change and finally start making the effort.
Bro what were those settings?? Wheel strength of 32 with a force of 2.5Nm! Wheel range set to 272* with a mapped range of 360*. I really hope he wasn't driving like this for long, no wonder he was frustrated!
Wait. What course are you referring to? Are you one of The Motor Racing Academy coaches?
@@pixelsam123 I am, yes!
A buddy of mine thinks that ABS slows a car down faster than what’s humanly possible and will take it to the grave. Even though he races with it on and I race with it off and I almost always win.
Its so generic statement for content. Lets teach us how to spot that we are over the limit too much for example. Yes if you spin that mean too much what else? Yeah teach us how to spot it before we gone too much. Which part we should dial down for next lap.
+1 for vision. When I coach my IRL students I always go to vision and reference points first. Good video!
Very helpful thank you for posting
What was his before and after time?
Wow i make a lot of these mistakes
Yea I track / time attack a r35 which is around 14000$ a year for like 10-12 track days. Im looking to buy a miata when I move
