came in expecting another poorly explained video of low level basic tips, got an in depth and well explained video of important tips using physics to back up points, good stuff
Bro Scott Mansell has been top of the game in my opinion. I used his driver university on youtube to figure out how to drive in a sim at all hahahah. I don't want to sound like I'm advertising for him, but I personally think he has some serious quality content
One mistake I make a lot when searching for the absolute best time I can achieve is turning in too early for the corner, thinking I’m not going to make it in time, ruining my line into the corner when in reality, it probably was a bang on braking point.
@@1xRacer agreed! I'm Italian so I play a lot of Imola and Monza in racing games and sims. As you said Monza in particular is great for practicing this. It's fast, rather tight and you either break well and take the right trajectory or you'll end up screwing hard most of the time. Even both variants, Roggia and Ascari, are like that... expecially the latter. You go in a little early or late and you'll end up spinning most of the time, or getting on the straight super slow.
Big trick. Do NOT look at the place you're turning into, but rather to the apex and then to the next corner or straight. You'll find yourself following the track with your eyes and lining yourself correctly every time
@@pedrosilvaproductions Car goes where eyes go. Make your eyes go to the right place. Don't look at the corner or at the apex, look through the corner.
I'm actually very surprised. There are so many videos like this and many really dont teach much. However this is not one of those. 3 very valid aspects explained in depth and backed up with some light physics. Very very useful video!
This is a very helpful video - it tackles some of the issues I'm trying to get under control. In my latest race I decided to take it nice and easy because I hadn't raced for a week or two. I especially focused on the grip, making sure to keep the car steady, never pushing it too much, so I felt in control of the car instead of hammering down and hoping for the best. My qualification time was 1 second ahead of P2 and and by the end of the race I was 2 laps ahead with zero incidents! I love it when I have races like that. Not so much for the win, but for the enjoyment of being in control of the car.
Just discovered your channel, and what brilliantly well explained videos! I almost immediately shaved 0.5 seconds off my lap time round Autodromo di Mores, but more importantly could consistently lap at that pace. I've already bookmarked your website to look into the coaching courses! Thank you!
Im so happy that clip is my video :) and I wasnt using VR in that clip I dont have vr, but theres a plugin in content manager called Neck FX and that is on just to clarify.
The vision is such an important tip that can be applied to every form of driving...even back in the day when I was getting driving lessons, my instructor would always reiterate one thing: ALWAYS ANTICIPATE FAR AHEAD. It's all about being smooth behind the wheel, no matter the circumstances.
Just ordered a wheel and rig so am a bit apprehensive about making the change from controller for some strange reason. Hopefully my times will improve!
Great advices, as always looking into the corner and your pedals inputs has been the most important things to learn first. Some constructive criticism, you guys could of use more proper footage for the video. A GT3 car with ABS, doesn't show properly the trail braking technic, since you can stay on the brakes really deep into the corner and manage any oversteer on entry with brake balance. Maybe footage from Silverstone showing Brooklands and Stowe corner too, which notoriously are very tricky corners with the brakes. Nevertheless this doesn't make the video less valuable, keep up with the sim racing stuff, great too see that professional drivers are giving more and more attention to the sims and you will gain a lot of followers that way :)
Scott - I've been in F3 iRacing for 6 months and knew there was a magical technique I was missing. I can consistently get up to speed within a second or two of the lap records, and my inputs mimick the best drivers, but they are always slightly earlier braking and earlier accel out. I always wondered how that could be a bad thing. Now I know how critical it is. Absolutely brililant explanation. Thanks.
Can you use Motec or other data gathering programs with iRacing? Nothing increased my lap times faster and easier than using Motec, especially the double trace function where you review two laps side by side on a track map. Discard what is slow and keep what is fast, which is very often the opposite of what you feel.

Vision is indeed everything. I need to remind myself to look as far ahead as possible quite often, but when I focus on it my laptimes become much more consistent. For nearly everyone who I've let drive for the first time on my sim, they immediately remained on track as soon as I told them to look not directly in front of the car, but as far down the track as possible. It's insanely useful.
@To Helli I have enough money to buy one if I were in Europe, but I'm in Asia and used Logitech dfgt prices are unreasonably high, I mean over $100 usd for a used dfgt is a no no
First thing he speaks about reminds me of learning to ride a motorcycle. Best advice I ever got was look as far ahead as possible and scan backwards for details. Always be looking at the horizon and then back
I realy like your body language/gestures when you are explaining. Its beautiful to me how you are expressing the feeling of driving a car while you're not in it. You realy get the point across. Thank you for all the very helpfull vids.
I have to say using VR is something that transformed simracing for me. I guess a tripple-monitor setup works too but in terms of allowing me to literally look where I want to be going it's amazing. And yes looking far enough ahead and looking where you need to be going was the single most useful tip ever and it also helps a lot just driving on normal roads.
One track that really helps me learning lines was Mugello. Through the Arrabiata corners you need to be so bang on the line. If you turn in too early, you'll clip the grass or lose speed on the turn, if you turn in too late, you'll either end up in the gravel pit or find yourself braking again mid corner.
Thanks tons.. The trail braking part is suuper important.. Keep forgetting that especially in fast cars and that results in uncontrolable corner entries especially with rear or mid engine cars
Incredible. Thanks, Scott. I've been spinning all over the place lmao It was so bad I was wondering if it was the unstable stand, settings, etc. Seems like it's probably just poor technique; going to go practice now.
I learned that second one racing Modifieds in NASCAR Dirt to Daytona, they are really tail happy when you brake while cornering. Though I'm still at the point where just finishing a race without hitting the walls counts as success! Usually don't hit it hard and total it anymore, but a few times a race I'll still take a corner a little too fast and scrape it a bit.
I'll summarize for the TLDW crowd: 1) 00:31 - I'm cool, and I can teach you to be cool, too. 2) 00:52 - Use your eyes to see. 3) 03:23 - Don't corner so slow 4) 06:48 - Don't corner so fast Chains are meant for jerking, I've heard.
One track I recommend to practice this is Monza. Very high speed straights followed by different turns. The first Lesmo is one great example, where seems an eternity before you can start thinking about throttle again. The parabolica is another great turn to practice this, because it's so long and all these concepts are really spread along the turn and things happens slower so you have the time to really think and pay attention about everything. And the first chicane is where all your knowledge and skill is put to test, as you are coming in very high speed into the tightest and slowest turn. Trail braking and throttle modulation is hard on this one as one little mistake will put you outside the track or on a spin.
My biggest problem is braking while trying to turn. But I'm getting a lot better. Been playing Project Cars 2 a lot lately, gone from a sim racing noob to a slightly less of a noob, just in a few hours of racing. Fortunately I go to tracks in real life, that's made all this a little bit more natural.
Trail braking takes some time to master I been working on it for about six months now it’s really improving my lap time I’ll be glad when I finally get it down pat I’m about 75% there on learning how to properly do it, lot easier since I switched to a stiff load cell brake based on memory muscle and not peddle travel
Thank you so much for pointing these things out, I've always been a keyboard sim racer and it shows, in Raceroom I'm always 5sec behind per lap, as a keyboard doesn't allow the smooth application of gas or brakes you have with wheel and pedals. And yes, cuz of that I always applied more throttle than needed past the apex.
As someone who is very new to sim racing can say I'm guilty of all of these thanks for the explanations going to get on assetto Corsa right now, and will be watching many more of your videos 🙂
Thanks for your lessons, Scott. Please make some videos about training methods that would allow students to improve their technique. This message was translated by Google, sorry for the inaccuracies if some.
Daaaam!!!! your teaching skills are on point ...feels like you woke me up with a good right hook to the face and then you you kept throwing in some jabs here and there just to make sure it really sinks in . excellent work and i thank you
This guy pointed out a mistake I've been making even though it wasn't one of the main points of the video. He points out you can brake as hard as you want on a straight, I've been trying to make sure I always only brake enough to not let the wheels lock up. Didn't realise there were times when lockup was okay.
The unusual part of this video is that you explained *why* what you're saying is right. Now that I understand why I'm being told to do things, I'm far more likely to actually go out (well, stay in) and do them.
I really hate it when people say rookies make the mistake of not looking far enough ahead. You might as well say they're making the mistake of driving badly. Rookies look so close in front of them because their muscle memory cannot deal with immediate actions on its own. When breaking for a corner they're looking at the turning point instead of the apex because they cannot instinctively turn by looking at the apex. Looking far enough ahead isn't something you do to improve. It's something you need to improve for in order to do. It's not a cause, it's a symptom.
I’m guilty of not looking far enough ahead. At least when I’ve been slacking, and not putting in laps. A 3/8 mile dirt track with 24 late models give me tunnel vision, and I end up driving the cars, not the track. I need to keep up my old routine, and focus looking out ahead. If I drove my real car like I did in iRacing, I would be killed.
Best circuit to practice on? Good ol' Clermont-Ferrand. It's my opinion that every simmer should aim at mastering this one track, as it has it all packed into 5 miles and 75 turns. Get that down, and the modern autodromes become a piece of cake. ;) Oh, and practice, practice, practice until you can easily do it in a McLaren MP4/4 with a gated shifter. . .
Oh, and here's a lo-res viddie of yours truly draggin' my butt 'round in order to illustrate my point. Enjoy. facebook.com/billmcd709/videos/vb.100008683237761/1663700643929361/?type=3
I always find that If im trying to trail brake (keep in mind this in rallying games but on tarmac) that I lose all my speed, way before the apex and it seems if I continue to let off as I approach the apex I will be slowing down too much and losing time. Another thing you said about braking to hard could be part of it. Looking back on replays I always seem to have a little bit of oversteer on corner entry.
Excellent content Scott. It is really helpful that you explain the physics acting on the platform. I will work hard to absorb this into my mental model when practising.
Amazing advice! The first point I've been really thinking about since WTF1's video that mentioned that. Makes sense but is a struggle for me, glad you mentioned the scanning back part. I kept ONLY looking forward.
Hi Scott, would you be able to give some tips and guides on how to drive and setup the skip barber car on iRacing? I always find myself frustrated when I push the car to get a good lap time, your videos have been very helpful and I appreciate the contents you came out with. Thanks!
Thanks again for the great instruction ...I tend to look ahead when I have an unrestricted view ...however I find it difficult in a gaggle of other cars & I've been guilty of following the car in front of me into the wall ...lol. I think if I can learn patients & relax my turns become smoother & hence faster ...but again ...all that is lost when I'm in close quarter battles with other cars. Scott ...are you related to the great Nigel Mansell? Excuse me for asking what may be obvious ...but I've just joined your channel. thanks
But if we have tc on, as the driver in the video has, can't we just stamp the throttle? Also sometimes going full throttle gives a bit of extra rotation which helps with the exit.
Even with a wider screen close to my head I can't even see the side mirror with correctly set FOV, so I can't look into a corner or see my competitors, that is often an issue.
geeez.. i'm doing like almost all of the wrong things. Part of my issue is not having memorized the circuits, so i am braking early for not knowing where the actual brake zone is..... then flooring it to make up for being slow.
Over slowing is one of my biggest problem..Any tips to get rid of that habit ? Is it possible to have wrong field of view settings ? cause to me it looks like im entering pretty fast in the corner
tbh i think its harder to do in sim racing than actual racing. you are looking at a screen, fully aware that its a sim and you have a billion more tries for this corner. you are also not part of the car and dont use all your senses as you would when driving it in real life. with vr its a bit better of course but you still have not all senses.
I almost agree, but most of it is gone when you are driving in VR. Because in 2D you are not able to look as far as you do in real life. In 2D you need to know the track really well to get the apex. In VR you can feel the apex (kind of). The apex is always better seen in VR than in 2D. It doesn't matter if you have 3 or more monitors. It's all about 3D vision, where you can imagine the track like it is in real. That's the only point to discuss about. The other point is knowlegde and paracticing.
If only vr didn't look like utter shit and destroy your eyes... Not to mention the fact that youll be covered in your own vomit in an hour. Sold my vive cause vr is nowhere near where it needs to be to be viable. Just a novelty at this point.
Hey, i just wondering to ask you if you still want to do this kind of vids sir. How do you keep your pace during a race? I always lose a lot of time because of tire degradation at the end of the race and sometimes lose an important position. How do i solve this? Should i go more easy on the beginning of the race? Or should i do something about my driving style? And for your information. I really like to brake as late as possible, especially when i want to overtake someone. Does that has something to do with my tyres management? Thanks

Locking wheels under braking reduces braking effectiveness and increases tyre wear.

The unusual part of this video is that you explained *why* what you're saying is right. Now that I understand why I'm being told to do things, I'm far more likely to actually go out (well, stay in) and do them.
Well... it depends on the corner. Corner just before a long straight, you want to brake early and accelerate out early for higher exit speed.
Great videos! One suggestion though, clean up that reverberation. Hang some blankets, move to a different spot in the room, etc.
Thanks, just getting a studio sorted as this was filmed in the office.
Brilliant - this is perfectly explained!

I think if I can learn patients & relax my turns become smoother & hence faster ...but again ...all that is lost when I'm in close quarter battles with other cars. Scott ...are you related to the great Nigel Mansell?
Excuse me for asking what may be obvious ...but I've just joined your channel. thanks
It all comes with time. I think practice makes perfect.
Have they done a breakdown on Senna's bizarre corner braking technique?
The base for driving also on the street, (looking far as possible) nothing new but a good TIP =)
Now I know why trail braking is so important, all this time I thought it was an optional technique lol
I found these tips very helpful, thank you Scott!
Excellent thanks
There was a video with eye tracking that showed amateurs look at the current Apex and pros are looking at the NEXT Apex
Any clue to find that video? Thanks in advance
Is this one? ruclips.net/video/9vUhgOLcLec/видео.html
@@DanielBardaji I saw it maybe 6 months ago. And I watch 15 or so videos a day. So that's a lot of history to look through 😮
Thank you!
But if we have tc on, as the driver in the video has, can't we just stamp the throttle? Also sometimes going full throttle gives a bit of extra rotation which helps with the exit.
Even with a wider screen close to my head I can't even see the side mirror with correctly set FOV, so I can't look into a corner or see my competitors, that is often an issue.
geeez.. i'm doing like almost all of the wrong things. Part of my issue is not having memorized the circuits, so i am braking early for not knowing where the actual brake zone is..... then flooring it to make up for being slow.
This is exactly what I was missing!
nice video, very well explained.
Thank you so much for making this channel
Great info, and awesome explanation. Subbed 👍🤘
Question. Is left foot braking better then right foot braking?
Yes
While learning to get on the throttle smoothly out of corner, I started to up shift to dull the power.
Hi, I just came across your videos, good job you've done Sir well done
How do you adjust this technique for turns with a high vertical element, like the corkscrew at Laguna Seca for example? Or Eau Rouge at Spa?
Great video ! Who the f***k dislikes a video like this ? 😡
at the tender age of 34, i've just realised i've been playing racing games for a couple of decades incorrectly :(

Let’s get matching shirts cause I’m on that team too 🙁
Mansell wot a legend of a sir name
Over slowing is one of my biggest problem..Any tips to get rid of that habit ?
Is it possible to have wrong field of view settings ? cause to me it looks like im entering pretty fast in the corner
tbh i think its harder to do in sim racing than actual racing. you are looking at a screen, fully aware that its a sim and you have a billion more tries for this corner. you are also not part of the car and dont use all your senses as you would when driving it in real life. with vr its a bit better of course but you still have not all senses.
I almost agree, but most of it is gone when you are driving in VR. Because in 2D you are not able to look as far as you do in real life. In 2D you need to know the track really well to get the apex. In VR you can feel the apex (kind of).
The apex is always better seen in VR than in 2D. It doesn't matter if you have 3 or more monitors. It's all about 3D vision, where you can imagine the track like it is in real. That's the only point to discuss about. The other point is knowlegde and paracticing.
If only vr didn't look like utter shit and destroy your eyes... Not to mention the fact that youll be covered in your own vomit in an hour.
Sold my vive cause vr is nowhere near where it needs to be to be viable.
Just a novelty at this point.
I'm 100% need to focus ahead oh track it my biggest flaw me recorrect my angle and braking mid corner
Hey, i just wondering to ask you if you still want to do this kind of vids sir. How do you keep your pace during a race? I always lose a lot of time because of tire degradation at the end of the race and sometimes lose an important position. How do i solve this? Should i go more easy on the beginning of the race? Or should i do something about my driving style? And for your information. I really like to brake as late as possible, especially when i want to overtake someone. Does that has something to do with my tyres management? Thanks
4:25 This is why I spin in spa corner 1
Awesome content.
'Scribed. Thanks for this!
I have the T3PA pedals. I'm thinking of either getting the load cell brake mod or just buying some Fanatec pedals instead. Which should I go with?
I struggle on the last 2 points on F1 2020 can't get the smoothness right
