- How to be fast in the wet or rain? It's something we get asked a lot at Driver61 and an area that if you're confident, you can breeze to victory.
Welcome to Driver61's Driver Analysis where our head coach, Scott Mansell, critiques our subscriber's driving. The idea of these videos is to use the example driver to enable everyone to learn and become faster, more consistent and feel in total control on track, but today it's something a little different as Scott will analysing his own driving.
Today's video rides onboard with Scott Mansell at Oulton Park in a clients Radical SR1. Scott analyses how to be faster in the rain, the wet racing line, how to find the limit quickly and how to brake in the rain.

BTW - if you need a video idea - different racing lines between different cars (i.e. Toyota GT86 vs any GT2/3 cars vs F1 or something like that) . I mean we do understand that karts have a different line, but for the rest? I have no clue at all what it means to be taking different lines and it sounded like you have a very good understanding of it when you were talking about F1 regulation changes for season 2017. Also I've heard Michael Schumacher knew how to take different racing lines to drastically save fuel, but I have no clue how something like that could look like...
The more power, the more wheelspin. The more wheelspin, the more you have to square off the corner exit. The more you have to square off the corner exit, the deeper you drive into the corner before braking, relative to the speed you're carrying. GT3 cars turn much more sharply on turn-in than a club racer Miata, for example. Club racer Miatas almost always have a nearly perfectly linear turn, while GT3 cars are pointed almost all the way out of the corner by the exit in tight corners. This is to avoid wheelspin.
Terrific tutorial, Scott. The quality and clarity of your analyses and explanation actually gives a thrill, almost like being on track under tuition. Extraordinary!
This is an absolutely outstanding video on racing in the rain. Is there any way you could break down some rally videos as I am quite interested in that sport as well.
This is really helpful.I was always a bit worried about pushing the limits in the wet ,but now i can see how important it is, in order to find the best grip and the best lines.I agree about wet grass. You defo go faster on it
Now I know what you meant by inducing oversteer early in the corner...it doesn't have to be done with higher entry speed, it can be quickly done with steer at lower speeds to find how much further away the limit is. Thanks so much!!!
Amazing stuff Scott! Now I can have a good go at the wet in my Karting.
You make it sound so simple Scott! Thank you for these videos!
Such an awesome tutorial Scott! Thank you so much. I'm so glad you've decided to make videos again!
Tomorrow I’m going for a time attack and aim to try out your hints! Great stuff!
Well said and well delivered, another must see before a wet session! Thx Scott...
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing!
Thats a really useful content! Great tips! Thank you! Cheers
More videos! This was great
thanks for this tutorial, it really helps me about karting
Awsome info 😁
Good stuff. Just did a wet trackday on Nordschleife with coaching, it is so important to get the line right 👍
How often do you plan on uploading these driver analysis videos? Really enjoying these videos and looking forward to more. I’m more of a visual person so these videos will help massively. Thanks
I've got a lot of them queued up! I'll be releasing videos twice a week going forward.
I remember reading a book about motorcycle racing from a million years ago but I can't remember who it was. This person described a day when he tried out
some new goggles (well before visors) and how he won the race easily with exceptional pace, in inclement weather.
His mechanic said to him after the race how he managed such an insane pace in the conditions.
The rider didn't think he had been doing anything different until he realized the goggles had actually provided an anti-reflective property of some kind and he wasn't perceiving the track as slippery as he normally would. So he wasn't limited by the mere perception of traction and of dialing in a percentage.
I thought of this story when you mentioned the 70 - 80 percent self-imposed limit.
It might have been a trials type event with snow and ice and muck I am not sure.
You're back !!
Hello!
I have a race tomorrow this helps a lot
Having just watched the same course during the critique video I was happy they were back to back releases. I found the Druids (spelling) corner the most interesting as the elevation change made for excellent contrast and comparison. Do you need hands in the videos to do a critique and would you do a US track?
The footage is an awesome example to what you explain, thanks!
Thanks very much, hope you took something from it. Scott
Awesome as always. TY so much. One thought.. perhaps the hardest part of simming is the fact that there is no internal g-meter we can use. All of our input is either visual or aural, which is a severe limitation on our ability to get good feedback from the car.
can you post a video on karting? how to warmup, starts, etc.
You should know Senna... you tell us!! :)
That's an awesome video, I learned a ton! It would be cool to do some videos like this with your dad, it would be interesting to compare his oldschool style with a modern more scientific style. Besides, as a kid I thought your dad was a badass
hi Scott, very interesting your videos, is it possible to analyze the driving differences between hamilton and leclerc, can you make this comparison .??? many thanks
AWESOME helmet! was that custom?
Hi Scott, thanks for great tutorial. Do you have any advice for tyre pressures for wet conditions compared to dry? That could be on specific wet tyres or for cut slick track tyres that are used in the wet too. Do your start a lot higher due to less heat you can generate in them?
Trying to give your video a thumbs up , but I get a message saying: "Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota). "
Hi Scott, awesome vid, very interesting and the tips are (as always) easy to try, thx a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it Benjamin.
fuuuck this was wayy longer than it needed to be 😂😂
You never touched the brace according to animation and you are talking about braking but failed to mention that this is not working ?
Your brake indicator is not working? Or You don't use them at all? :D
Are these techniques actually applicable in sim racing? I mean do they actually have rubber/no rubber parts of the circuits which actually affect the grip?
I play gran turismo, Forza Motorsport and assetto Corsa competizione
Thanks!
as far as i know the only sim racing title with a "wet" line is only iracing, other than that use the dry line, and the only corner to square is the hairpin in circuit gilles in Canada
Shame that brake sensor wasn't working.
ادلك على شي؟
So one could say its faster, but tighter when off the rubber? Interesting. I think I'm going to make tshirts with this
The video is awesome, but just one thing, i think you overuse the subscribe animation, once in the beginning and once at the end is enough to get the max amount of subs i feel. Great vid anyways!

240km/h around corner? Thats too fast
Asking me to subscribe 5 times in a video is too much.
I think reminding people once is enough. Anything above that makes me less likely to sub.
You talk too much and state the obvious
You just watched a video you shouldn't have.
Do you expect him to not talk? There are people that are just starting out in racing and need the basics.
Dude, who the hell are you?
Been waiting 2 years for Mr. Montgomery's superior tutorial.........
