    I like how you sometimes rev match when not applying braking but whilst still engine braking. I do that a lot

    • @RobSpoel

      Thanks! My goal is to always rev match every downshift. On the Porsche pedal box, heel-toe only works with hard braking, so sometimes I have to blip separately

      @@RobSpoel I have a Cayman S 987.1 and the pedal box is identical. I agree that heel-toe is tricky to achieve.
      On a daily basis (soft braking) I use toe-toe braking: half top-foot on brake, the other half top-foot on gaz. That's a lot easier and intuitive for my POV. But you need larger shoes, like sneakers.
      But you're right, on hard braking I think heel-toe is more efficient, because the brake pedal is way more at the bottom. But that's not easy to switch technic from one corner to the next one 😅
      But with toe-toe technic you can give a lot more gaz that you are able to do in the video on soft/average braking

    Very nice! Driving so fast with a manual gear box is a lot more difficult than with a pdk, espacialy on that track.
    In this video you have Trofeo tyres, but question, when you have Michelin sport cup 2 on track, what tyre pressure "hot" do you have?

    • @RobSpoel
      @RobSpoel  Год назад

      Thanks! On Cup 2 I run 2.0 / 2.3 bar front / rear hot pressures.

    Cool vid. What you you use for lap timer and video?

    • @RobSpoel
      @RobSpoel  Год назад

      Thanks! Lap timer is a Racebox Pro, but as you can see it was not turned on during the Touristenfahrten on Nordschleife. Video recording is done with a GoPro 8 for the main cam and a GoPro Session for the foot cam.

    Nice car and driving - what sim setup do you run? I have started to drive sim myself and wants to use it for real world practice.

    • @RobSpoel
      @RobSpoel  Год назад +1

      I have a Simlabs rig with Simucube and Heusinkveld parts. I went into my GT3 and measured all kinds of angles and distances between pedals, seat, shifter, wheel, and tried to set the simrig up as close to that as possible. Then I moved the triple screens directly behind the wheel to give a really wide field of view and spent a lot of time tweaking the sim software in terms of force feedback and field of view and realistic head/neck motion compensation. The result is a great sim that I love to spend time in a lot and that is actually useful as a training tool for real life!

      Like everything else you wanna be good at, practice makes perfect but altho it's ok driven it's nothing special realy.

    • @RobSpoel
      @RobSpoel  Год назад +2

      Lot's of time in a very well set-up race sim plus plenty of trackdays to improve the understanding of driving fast and work on perfecting the execution of that understanding. Like someone else alluded in their comment, there is still plenty in it on this lap given I am taking my time to build up the speed without going over the limit (especially on this track!)

      Buddy I was at the ring for 4 days 2 weeks ago and it was the fourth time this year, If I would be blindfolded and driving it backwards I'de still be faster than you.@@as114
