1st off i am a coach Dave subscriber, love it. 2nd being a member just over a month or 2 i have improved greatly for my standards. 3rd, tip 3 i am so guilty of. Im alwasy in a rush to get on throttle. I need to practice this tonite. Thanks for these. Cheers
I love it all Dave, extremely well delivered and information easy to absorb with basics that are easy to forget. Rule number 3 can be overlooked if you are Senna and blip ya throttle to help rotate the car 😆 One thing I have noticed from playing Cricket, Golf or sim racing is that the basic fundamentals can be easily forgotten even by professionals. You see many write down on gloves or wrists certain things to remember such as simply "watch the ball".
After the latest gt7 update the throttle and brake are so important to getting the car rotated. Using a lower gear briefly to bring the nose in. Or one I have found recently is if you have braked to early you can use the throttle to bring the nose out to avoid the inside barrier
Great video! I often overlook these techniques in real life when I'm driving. I react to the traffic ahead and don’t realize I'm making the same mistakes in the simulator. I can get so caught up staring at my telemetry trace or lap times that I forget to focus on the fundamentals.
Amen, my hope is that these rules are so simple to learn that they almost become subconscious automatically. Thanks for watching Stephen, hope you have been well. ~ Dave
Great rules and struggling with number 3 but I'll get there. I had a sport driving lesson with BMW at Barcelona circuit IRL few years ago and one of the things the teacher told us was rule number 1, look far ahead so you can anticipate things. Thanks for the video 👍
Awesome tips. Rule 3 literally changed the way I drive. The difference in how fast I’m coming out of corners now is like night and day. I’m faster and more under control. Didn’t think that was possible. I always thought it was a trade off.
All depends on the LSD. if it's ACC, once you hit the preload, the left and right rear lock 100%. So aliens blip the throttle to slip the rear out and let it regrip at 60% throttle before gradually increasing to 100%. And that rotates the car that much faster explaining why you're not that fast. And this video is designed to keep you slow so you hire his coaching. For example, I'd never wait for rotation after the apex. I'd rather lightly hit the brakes before the apex, which will introduce some rotation as well as slowing the car down if I thought I was entering the turn too fast. Then I would tap the acceleration pedal violently to get the rear to slip out but settle to about 50% throttle to let the rear settle and regrip, thus introducing instantly the valuable rotation. This kind of video held me back 4 seconds per lap.
@virtualawakening2299 You're wrong, this video is not about selling coaching. Going to delete some of your comments in threads as you have already made your point in your stand-alone comment, which I have responded to. ~ Dave
Thanks especially for #3 and showing it in GT7. I recently got back into the game and with the physics update, I constantly spin out in corners. its frustrating. So I am gonna try and apply that rule a little more often and see where that gets me.
Rule nr. 3... So hard when using the t-lcm pedals. Throttle is so sensitive. The wrong impression I one time gave one guy who after a situation involving at least three cars studied my inputs. I just thoughtlessly leant my right foot against the throttle and in his eyes I was the kind of guy who pushes the pedal towards the floor even when on the grass... Metre-boards that get knocked over. I immediately had to think of t1 of the Nurburgring... Oh my lord.
I have been trying to work on my backup reference points because when I’m closely following someone it definitely has been beneficial. And rule 3 gets me but in both instances whether getting on too soon or too late, I have gotta get that figured out it seems I’m always doing one or the other.
Replay your laps in helicopter view if the game allows you to… this will help you understand the thing you’re doing right and wrong . But his is all subjective to the player… 😁👊🏽💯
I know... I know... but I swear it's the first thing people get wrong when they are just starting out. Especially if they are used to using the racing line in the assist settings. ~ Dave
@@CoachDaveAcademy Been racing for a good 7 years, and lately, I found myself very tensed up, this made alot of sense based on what I've been looking at on track and being reactive vs proactive
Question, how are only 2 of the 10 built works cars when Aston Martin regularly ran more than 2 cars in GTE Pro during that period? And what is defined as a works car, cause most of them racing back then were ran by AMR themselves even in GTE Am.
Whilst all run by Prodrive, customer teams or drivers were used like TF Sport which technically then don't count as works cars like the two run in GTE Pro. The GTE AM AMR entry is also not a pro car as a bronze driver was used.
On GT3 cars, I thought you are supposed to tap the acceleration at the apex to loosen the rear and rotate the car. Tap to 70% and instantly release to 60 to 50% just to loosen the rear and then let it regrip before gradually increasing from 50% to 100%. (Speaking from ACC point of view) Nils Naujoks did a great video on how the LSD works in ACC and how to spike the throttle with 0 TC. Gradually applying throttle just doomed me into endless understeer in ACC. I have since switched over to 0 TC and 0 ABS and practice offline so I don't hurt anyone while I'm at least 2 seconds slower. (but so much funner) I just don't buy into gradually applying throttle. It's a bad habit I'm trying to unlearn from all of these awful videos. I do what I said I think is right in Forza Motorsport as well with good results in terms of early car rotation exiting a turn. Your technique of gradually applying throttle may be right for GT7, but seems totally wrong for ACC or FM. I mean if you want to be 2 to 3 seconds slower than the aliens, than by all means, slowly apply throttle after the apex. But you will never be as fast as Nils or Jardier. They are so aggressive on the throttle at the apex. You obviously are a great businessman who is advertising in ACC and other games, but why give bad advice? This seems to be a GT7 advice, but in no way an ACC advice. This is exactly the advice that made me so slow in ACC!
I am racing driver first, professionally - in GT3's that ACC is based on :) If you follow the advice of Nils and Jardier you need to be within a few tenths of pro sim drivers to make that technique work. If you have understeer with progressive throttle you most likely haven't finished rotating the car enough. If you rely on 0 TC to rotate the car, you almost definitely haven't finished rotating the car with the steering and will be relying on a small drift to rotate the car. That technique can work, but you need to be very experienced to make it happen. These rules are a foundation that are especially useful for drivers just starting out. As you get more experienced you can break these rules, but you do need that experience. Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment. ~ Dave
you are a great coach but you also have repeated some fallacies that you have heard or think is correct but aren’t. Real race drivers don’t have faster reactions to any other top level sports person or probably most people. What they have is either an innate feel for the car or 10,000 hours which has wired them to react to things they see or feel that the car is doing. In other words these drivers see things and feel things and instinctively know what the car will do before it happens or at least they are ready and anticipate it. Even to the point where they adjust to compensate for it. That’s why they appear so fast at catching something. It’s also the reason they can drive closer to the limit than slower drivers. Interestingly , as an ex race tyre tech, these drivers generate more footprint heat than others and therefore usually have to run harder compounds than the rest. Race drivers aren’t alone in this either. Federer said the same thing about his reaction. He said he subconsciously sees little things that the other player is doing and anticipates it. However, looking down the road further is definitely a good thing either way.
Ok... but I say in the video that racing drivers _do not_ have fast reaction times, they are better at anticipating what is happening next. Anticipation comes from experience, feel, and looking far ahead. If you don't yet have feel (inexperienced drivers) then looking far ahead is the best place to start. Anticipate, don't react - is exactly what I say in the video ;) ~ Dave
Reference points for when you’re offline, overtaking, is such a good point.
:)

Guilty of breaking Rule 3 so often. 😏
Me too... and it's my most important rule. Very hard to get right because it relies so much on how your entered the corner. ~ Dave
Great rules! I struggle with following them, but I will try harder.

Good sound advice and simple rules. Practice and patience is certainly required to make rule 3 stick in the grey matter.
Absolutely!

I've done this too, when I used to have a Logitech G27, for a while I had to consciously move my foot off the throttle. ~ Dave
Great video Coach ❤
You're welcome! Hope it helps you improve going forwards!
A lot of wisdom in this one 🐐
Thanks for watching my man. And thanks for beta testing Delta too! ~ Dave

Given how complex Rule 3 can be, I am going to take a deeper dive in another video ~ Dave
If you enter too slow, that's your que to floor it and totally drift out of that turn and blind everyone behind with your godly smoke!
great video thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for the support!
Only problem about using curbs as reference points is if there's cars you cant see them, trees are good, especially if your looking ahead
Agreed, they are useful as backup reference points. ~ Dave

I'm struggling to understand how people break so much later than me and still make the apex when I try to break when they do I over shoot the corner?
Braking tutorial coming soon!

but can you do turn 5 😂

I’m coming back!
About time, you legend!
