I was confused in the beginning of the video and not in the end of the video. With the levels of experience I have the beginner mistakes seem like too obvious.
Shaved 4 seconds off of my time with trailing braking!!! I have been racing for just 2 weeks. Total newbee. (Although 69 years old. Yeah, haven't owned a video game in 40 years. Go figure.) Automobilista 2: Watkins Glen Formula Reiza Moza R9, Moza KS Wheel, and SRP pedals. I crash a lot. But I went from the slowest on the grid to the fastest. Listening to your videos has dramatically improved my times. Just set my best lap time ever! Almost 6 seconds faster than the Ai. Thanks!
Well, don't we all make mistakes in every online race? It does not matter if you are a multiple race winner or a champion of a big event, this is helpful to keep in mind while racing. Thanks for the great tips as always, Suellio! Will keep in mind.
I started listening to your tips maybe about 5 months ago when I was still using right analog on a controller for throttle and braking. Now with the wheel your tips have resonated even more so, and I've improved quite drastically just keeping things in mind for practice sessions and qualis. You truly are ahead of your time Brother.
Great advice and as I am still new to sim racing (3 weeks short of a year) I have only ever used Auto-Blip but no other aids, simply because I have never driven a manual car in 25 years of driving and with my pedals not being load cell (logitech G29 wheel and pedals) I have started using the clutch pedal as my brake (because brake too stiff) since doing that I have seen my times improve and my ability to trail brake. I still can't trail brake all the time depending on the car and the corner but it is a lot better than before. As for being slower and keeping line while the faster cars lap you, I find that if you communicate to the other drivers and find a good spot to pull over (straights of course) then it is better to pull over so they can stay on the racing line. Almost every drive I have done it to has appreciated it and thanked me simply because they could keep on the faster line (with more grip ) without ruining the entry in the next corner. If I know there is a long line of cars close enough together, I will even slow right down too to I don't go too far down the straight and then ruining the 6th or 7th in line, thus ruining there chance for racing for a higher position. It all comes down to communication with the other drivers, knowing the track and knowing your limits. Everything else I will try to put into practice even though I already do some of it.
Breathing while cornering …. Best tip, you know me well… I‘m trying now to breath twice a minute - hard to master as you mentioned, but it helps me with concentration and endurance:) Thanks also a lot for the other tips, helpful alltimes! ❤
Drive ABS cars as if they don’t have ABS! Had to learn it on my own but wow what a difference it makes, I used to just slam the brakes with ABS but it’s much more efficient to stay out of ABS.
6:17 great practice for this is Oulton Park. Ive been racing there in F3 cars and you can be much more aggressive with the throttle out of the hairpin than you can be on the final curve
I love the fact that he mentioned: « if you wanna have fun the video is not for you ». He isn't that type of RUclipsr that keep begging and begging for subscribers. But yall better subscribe to him🙂
Amazing! I'm really keen on iRacing ultimately. In the last period I've improved mostly on my consistency. Still need to improve more and more in certain points, especially on braking and bring up proper speed in the first laps I feel like I have to be more efficient, but I can say that I'm on a better level of speed overall than last year. Surely these guide is highly useful!
6:19 i realised that myself not long ago. There was that line of downhill hairpins that i was doing wrong going too much outside on entry to get a better trajectory for the exit. What i didn't realise is that the corner has a raised camber on the inside and if you sacrifice entry speed for rotation the result will be much faster. Surprisingly enough handbraking that corner is faster than not doing so. That might be because my car had a very long first gear though. I think this mistake should be higher up on the level of difficulty because its not easy to spot that especially on downhill corners where you'd think it wouldn't matter
This is why I prefer racing on ovals in high-downforce cars. They’re less demanding and more about the kind of racing that appeals the most to me: cars running in huge packs, relying on the draft to pass each other, constantly at full throttle all the way around, mere inches separating all these cars, with one wrong move being all it takes to spark disaster.
Haha Number 34. Unfortunately I’ve had a few toxic drivers go into the back of me, claim I was break checking (when I wasn’t, I was just slower) and blaming me for not moving out of the way (because they don’t know how to overtake? 😂). Fortunately I got promoted to C class and now see less toxic drivers allowing me to finally learn and improve a bit more 😅. I’m also enjoying iRacing a lot more now which is good. I did not enjoy my month in rookie and d class, glad I got to move up to c class before season 1 ended 😄
I don't think 46 is necessarily something to always follow. Even with a correctly setup DD wheel, some cars, particularly road-based ones, will not necessarily correct the car appropriately through steering forces. Depending on the steering geometry and self-aligning torque of the tire you might for example not get any countersteer correction from the car in some combined input situations. Racecars tend to have less phase errors than roadcars and it is not a guarantee that the SAT is well simulated in whatever sim you're playing, but it's something to keep in mind if it seems like FFB is incongruent with what the car needs.
True, especially road cars with power steering. In this case I was using a lot more active countersteering instead of waiting for the wheel to do it for me. But in cars where the SAT is good you should definitely use it
@@SuellioAlmeida Powersteering throws a wrench in the mix; a lot of racecars clip to maximum torque with like 1 degree of steering, while others have a much smaller difference between assisted and unassisted torques than roadcars do, like some GT3 cars have allegedly. Generally though powersteering is compression, so I would expect powersteered cars to require LESS active countersteering, and unassisted cars with reasonable geometries to require more. The outlier IMO is some road-based cars with steering geometries that cause SAT to be very impactful and highly boosted powersteering systems, which can lead to a total lack of countersteering tire forces in some situations, or even a reversal of torque. However these are rare especially in the modern era, it was more a symptom of old, manual steered cars that got powersteering added after. Only highly modded AC has powersteering in any consumer sim that I know of (and there are only two people who have even released a car with powersteering, me being one of them) so it's not really a true factor for 99.9% of users at this point in time. However when DDs get more common and real-world steering torques are more achievable by a larger part of the community (You only need about 5Nm for powersteered roadcars and 7-8Nm for GT cars) then I can totally see real powersteering being added to more sims in the future. I haven't confirmed it but to me it feels like ACC might have some kind of range compression in the FFB emulating powersteering, though. The ramp is quite high and SAT is not very impactful.
It's incredibly hard to apply any of this to controller, because I need to use 90% of my attention to keep the car on track and not yank it off because my thumb was 1 mm to far to one side
I agree with not changing the setup and rather adapting the way you drive to gain balance, ONCE YOU ALREADY HAVE A MOSTLY USABLE SETUP. However when people tell me to use preset setup I can’t understand that. Why would I limit myself to a nonspecific setup over great s setup that is track and team specific.
I got nice pedals but use my clutch as the brake so I can comfortably left foot brake and with the stiffness of my brakes it lifts my f1 simulator seat
I tend to find that using the cockpit camera while racing in F1 2022, the hands on the wheel (on screen) block the view of the corner apex, and your lap times are cancelled. It's a shame because I do like that view the best.
Im trying to get better in sim racing but my computer is low end and i cant do the light hands technique because i drive on mouse steering, and because of it, If it slides i over correct it
Yes I posted it there! It was a script of this youtube video since the beginning... Then I looked at it and though "oh it looks like an article I'll publish it lol"
Any tips for driving the Porsche GT3 R and GT3 Cup in ACC? Also, I changed my practice toward a 2 car 10 min race where I have to follow the lead car and only pass on the last lap. I found this harder than passing as soon as possible then staying in the lead. If I can consistently make the pass then I increase the skill level of the lead car. Thoughts?
Hey bro i have a question about the FoV. This is the first time i hear it is fundamental to set it the right way and i wanted to know "how much fundamental?". My problem is that my ideal fov is 28 and i cannot change the configuration of the room or my gf will just put an end to my life. At 28 i can't see the apex when i'm at the corner entry, i'm used to look as far as possible so i cant drive at all. i put at least 50 degrees usually. Is that wrong? I mean, there must be a minimum
I read somewhere that your faster in oval racing keeping your steering range to 900. I then set it to that in the fanatec software. Is this correct or does this hinder you in road racing?
If your goal is to improve and you have no physical handicap, you will need to turn them off eventually to be more consistent and faster. It's really hard to change your muscle memory once you've practiced with assists. And it's also completely okay to be slow at first without assists. If you can't control you car, just go slower and smoother. It's not like you need to win races immediately no matter the cost. Arcade games already exist.
The assist tip is so stupid. Its great to practice without assists, but plenty of pro REAL racers will use ABS from time to time depending on the race. Its all about whether or not its optimal. Sometimes assists will give pro drivers an edge, especially with speed on circuit tracks and in certain conditions. Its best to analyze what assists might be beneficial on a case by case basis before writing them all off entirely.

"Unless you're braking with an extremely light pedal" *looks down at logitech momo brake from 2005😢
Put in hard rubber man 👞
Same bro. I have the Logitech G29 and the brake goes directly from light to stiff
@Hello__________ I'm jealous of having a stiff part at all. This thing has about the same resistance as the throttle
A fellow Logitech Momo enjoyer I see
@@Jumbocombo the thing is, my break is so stiff, that I can’t even feel that I’m pressing it
