"Stay on the road and don't break the car" is excellent advice for all situations.
Running joke in the Duff Beer team is "Drive the car you have!" The car is never perfect, and there's almost always something wrong with it. (in an endurance race, there's no time to change tires, brakes, or even clean the windshield)
SAMIR! You are breaking the car!
_Samir wants to know your location_
Big thanks to Team O'Neil for helping me play Dirt Rally
"Stay on the road, don't break the car" I should follow that advice more often when I play Dirt Rally.
Usually the last thing I hear before I go off the road and break the car is "...Don't cut"
hahah funny that what got me onto this channel but i find my self playing with what i have heard here in real life too, good stuff :D
Play Trackmania. You won't break your car, but you might get might get addicted.

"don't cut"
*cuts anyway*
*flips 4 times*
"God, this game"
"right flat 6, caution hairpin left" and you go off the hairpin going 100 miles an hour
About nr. 4 (in circuit racing) - my approach is this - don't set a laptime in your head you need to reach, just do everything as good as you can and the laptime that will result from doing everything as good as you can will be the result, and will possibly surprise you, if you improved more than you anticipated.
100% agree! I was at the track for the first time in my life a week ago and the time I got in first ~20 laps was around 1:20 and I didn't even know I was supposed to let the pressure out of the tires. But I noticed they were hot and I decided to "save" my drivetrain a little and was focusing on smoothness and the lines. Then I did a push, thinking if I was able to do 1:18 and I actually achieved 1:18.5 so I was like ok, let's rest for some laps, then one session break and then we go back. At that point I wasn't really expecting too improve, tires had some wear, were hot, I was a bit scared about my automatic transmission and then I decided to give it a go for one lap. You know what? 1:15.5 :D Can't wait to apply this approach to karting.
Drive without emotion: Takumi-kun already taught me that. ;)
Kraitze I was hoping someone would comment that
Drive without emotion: Until you want a more powerful engine and your dad is a cheapskate.
I thought Ikeda is the one who is no emotion one? (He's the Zero Theory guy)
i was gonna say that myself
weeaboo cringe
Managing emotions is really really tricky part. Even if you don't become angry or whatever, it's this stress, when you suddenly start making the most stupid mistakes, and then you go like - wtf am I doing, how did that even happen?
I usually get this when I feel I'm on the edge. When either I'm going to set up a personal record, or screw up really bad. And there you go, this hidden excitement starts to somewhat distract you. You start thinking about it, and fighting with thoughts to shut them up. And just when you seem to have overcome that and come back to driving - boom! Some wrong move that screws things up.
It's like the goal is to not think at all, to learn turning your thoughs off. Not the easiest task.
Indeed. You have to learn to recognize your stress, back off a little, and don't dwell on what just happened or flashback to it on the next lap. Focus on where you are and where you're going. The past is in the past; you can't change it now. That's not to say you shouldn't see and remember where you're messing up, esp. if you keep making the same error(s). Revisit it with telemetry and video once you're out of the car.
AV1ch true that but personaly me tho if my friend or someone i know sets a better time than me i take it as a chalange and become very competetive and put myself at a disatvantage like that
Meditate
Blizzak driving course in Steamboat Springs was a great eye opener, can’t wait to visit Team O’Niel one day
Driving with in your limits,but expand them! As you improve!
“There’s always somebody faster” so true! When you think you can’t go any faster, suddenly someone appears out of the blue, leaving you feeling so humble. Great video 👍
Thanks for good advices.
All tips except late braking are applicable for normal daily driving.
Thanks Tim, another great video. Your tips are very interesting and very well thought out as always. Cheers to you and your team!
you guys rock. thanks for the video
Videos are great. Thanks for outlining some points to focus on. Even if they seem obvious, worth considering in depth.
Thank you for taking the time to give us newbies some pointers, Mr. O'Neil!
Thank you for providing such important basic guidelines that would benefit any competitive racer.
Keep it coming👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent info. Short and sweet.
Good simple pointers. Will keep that in mind.
I wish I was wealthy, I would absolutely love rally school.
Now you have a goal, so work hard towards it.
You don't need to be wealthy. Check local high performance driving schools around you, or local tracks. It's about 200 bucks for a day on the track (about 6 to 8 hours) where I live, classes and a dedicated in-car instructor are included in the price.
@@kingadello woah 200 bucks a day.. damn.. that's like a little over a quarter of my monthly wage
@@Cel2333 I dunno where you live, but the minimum wage where I live is 13 dollars per hour (about 2K per month). Regardless, you don't go to the track every day.. most folks I know go to the track at most 4 times a year.
@@kingadello bruh India ..
looking where you want to go is important
I drifted a corner a while ago, and got real close to a van. I kept looking at the van so I panicked and over corrected the other way. caught the slide and ended up straight, but I shat at least 2 bricks
Very interesting! I'm more into track racing, but most of these videos apply prettymuch to both track and rally racing.
Rally cornering is vastly different than Formula Car cornering--that should be Number 1
nice vid! i think i found a few things to improve on, cheers :)
Perfect advice
I'm impressed that such a powerful video, has so little comments and thoughts around it;
thank you for this.
It's sort of the "back end" needed as to drive... Drive.
Hope to meet you guys soon.
Thank you for commenting. Hope to meet you soon too
excellent vid
Love it!
Good advices
the emotions is a good one because i amhorrible at that and that is exactly when i start to make MORE mistakes but i also like the last one that you need to learn something new everytime that is my favorite one because there is allways more to learn even if you are the best at that particular momentor track there still is someone learning and getting better and there is ALLWAYS room for improvment, and adjust your car not your driving thats one that seems obvious but how often do us novices actually do it i know i wish i could adjust some more on my car but as for now my wallet says otherwise so until he starts to agree with me haha then i can make some adjustments but overall great videotim and i absolutely love what you guys aredoing on here i try and soak up everything i can in these videos so it really is appreciated haha im pretty sure i found your videos after watching a skip barber video haha
What a dumb ass!! Haha I've learned a lot since then wow disregard this haha you can all ways adjust your car even if it's tire pressures or little amounts of alignment or tires or shocks or sway bars not everything needs to be adjustable to make a car more suited for the conditions more just knowledge and knowing what works for the driver in the conditions and it's about knowing that for yourself?!?
All good stuff...
Ya you probably had a slow lap. I love Tim and Wyatt. I would love to make it here one day just to them! What we've found is common sense goes a lot further then people realize!
Thanks for video!
These skills totally works with riding motorcycle as well.
Would you consider adding russian subtitles to the video if I provide them? Automatic translation is... let's say "not so good" ))
You can't finish first,if you don't first Finish
Thanks a lot, but I hv some doubt you said that life time practice is it true then when we race
Wow. USPSA crosses over to racing. Who knew.
ya'll down in Missouri?
Consistency
I don't feel no. 1 is a correct or complete statement. I think learning balance is more important than a blanket rule of brake late, brake hard.
I mean, if you brake late/hard and you don't go off or hit a wall or spin or something, you've already learned a great deal about balance. Sure, there's more to learn about balance beyond that...but now that I think about it, the balance of the car is perhaps most important during braking, wouldn't you say? Sometimes balance is critical during acceleration or turning (depending on circumstances), but it's always critical during braking...I'm in no way an expert (functionally I'm a novice), but those are my thoughts
Threshold braking. Learn to do it. It will make you faster.
It's correct. Smooth braking and shifting weight is easy. Not practicing hard braking in emergency situations is where shit hits the fan. You realize you try to remove your foot but the G-force keeps your brake planted, or your brain tells you to lift but fear keeps your brake planted etc.....so it's important to practice more aggressive braking and lock ups.
Bet you are slow
most people are insane, doing the same things over and over again expecting different results
Vaas is that you?
Hmmm I find I drive better when I'm upset/angry..
dies irae you'll only get away with it for so long
You are just forcing the car to do things it doesn't want to until you end up in a ditch. Feels responsive when angry /alerted but you never know the limit until its too late.
@@Rusiputki Not true. The anger can make you get the upper hand on anger by being angry about being angry so you think twice and drive extra impassively in a rage of non-rage
