Here are a few quick and dirty “rules” I like to follow and it applies to the vast majority of oval tracks. 1. Never add steering input while your car is moving up or down lanes in the corner. This is where tons of tire heat/wear comes from 2. No coasting. Trail brake is your best friend. 3. Point your nose before the banking begins in the corner. You’re still usually behind on this. It’s going to be the weirdest and most unintuitive feeling 4. You should not be feeling any understeer under throttle. If you are, either back up corner entry or trail brake for longer (not harder) 5. If you feel like you’re fighting the car at any point, something is wrong. It should feel easy because if it’s easy for you, it’s easy on the tires. This doesn’t mean underdrive the car. A fast lap can be easy, and a slow lap can be hard
When trail breaking, you can also make break bias changes to help rotate the car. Brakes are not just for slowing down, they help steer the car. That is what makes trail braking so effective when maintaining momentum. Throttle too helps turn the car once weight transfers to the rear of the car.
Another tip for this week, Dave, from a 6k guy (not bragging, just wanting to state that I have an idea of what I'm talking about). About 2/3rds of the way through turns 3-4 there is a bump. If you wait longer to get back to full throttle and keep it down near the white line longer instead of letting it track out, when you hit that bump, it will loosen the car up. This is a good thing, it shifts the weight to the rear and helps to keep the car rotating. If you are already tracking out when you hit the bump you won't get the same effect, if anything it can hurt you cause it will shift the weight the other way. I sorta found that bump by accident, went from having to drive really hard to win with high 30's to low 40's RF tirewear to being able to drive it a lot easier and win by a larger margin with mid 50's RF wear.
@@davecamyt Yea, the bump technically goes all the way from the bottom of the track to the top, it might be easier to find it by running way up against the wall in practice on your outlap like how you would start qualifying. It will be more noticeable when you hit it up there then you know about where it is at. I believe it is a bump from the tunnel being under the track at that point. I wish RUclips would let me share a picture or video with you and I would show you.
@@davecamyt Since I didn't know any other way to get it to you, I just uploaded a video to my channel named "Texas Bump". At the 6 second mark in the video you will see me hit it and see the rear slightly start to swing around. I left my inputs and stuff up as well.
arca is a great series to gain irating, djyeejay is the arca farmer he knows this car and i learned much from him. it was cool to see you on the track the other day.
Right. Davey, You've inspired me to get going on my Oval career. My endurance team I drive the Cadillac GTP with in the special events ALL are oval guys and they give me so much shit for being American and loving road racing so much not ovals. Watching this now though, it seems like a sweet science that takes a lot of finesse which I love. Also Dave, once you get your license up, the Xfinity cars on road tracks are SO fun. You have to try it. Such good racing.
Would highly recommend trying to do a collab coahing/learning session with DJ. He is an amazing teacher. I bit the bullet and got coaching from him because I've fallen in love with ovals coming to iRacing but it's very unituitive for something so "simple." His explanations are amazing, and any questions you have he explains beautifully. I followed his advice and have shred my lap times in qualifying and practice, as well as become more consistent in races. His information also made it so I could look at a track and my runs and see where I'm failing, why the car isn't responding, etc. He is an excellent teacher and I think you would learn even more from him than I did, Dave. You're already a great driver, so you can definitely apply his teachings better than most!
i will enjoy watching the process. stay with it and stay committed to running it every week. its nice to have some diversity on the channnel with road racing and oval
A pat on the back for Mac! Certainly a more assured drive! I've always wondered where non-Americans go to learn all these details about oval racing, hopefully your journey to 3K will become a handy reference!
I've always been an endurance racing guy. Started really getting into oval racing because they're a lot like endurance races. Strategy. Tire conservation. Picking your moments. When you get a good result it's because you've used your brain instead of just stomping on it the entire time.
Making steady progress there Dave, good stuff! You make sim racing look easy these days.. I just grabbed a free trial of ACC whilst using a D-pad and I'm finding it rough :D
A small thing that I like to do is have my left hand at about 10-11 o'clock on the steering wheel, just seems to help when you've always got a bit of angle in the wheel.
Congrats on the field promotion Dave. I'm a similar age Aussie doing the same journey of oval discovery as you right now. Dreading the purchase cost of all the new tracks though.
the good news is after you purchase enough tracks iracing gives you i think 40% discount on future purchases. and if you run multiple series pick out the tracks that are used in both.. like trucks xfinity etc...also the more series you run the more iracing participation credits you earn which can be used to buy new tracks when they come out..
just done an Arca Dave and started 23 finished 6 dont think I did even a 31 but get off the gas early get it pointing at the white line then on the gas , I also use 14 to 1 steering tyres finished 70 percent front right
Nice run Dave! Getting better. Only advice is I would say let the car roll the center a little more to save the right front. Looked a little aggressive on the throttle in mid corner. Love the oval content thanks for the cool videos
Don't know if you know him, but caseykirwan on twitch is very good at oval racing, won the championship a few years ago.. you can always learn something by watching.
A big thing with the current oval tire, especially on fixed setups, is that minimum center speed is the most important thing to saving tires. So driving it in deeper, slowing down on center relatively hard, and then driving off is a better way to save tires than say lifting earlier on entry and trying to keep your speed up for center and exit.
Nice, dave. Everyone is going to have an opinion on what works for them. Dj yee, the arca farmer does it the best. So my opinion. I like to run a 10:1 steering ration and a +2 offset on mile and a half tracks and 10:1 +4 on 1 mile tracks like dover. It is just comfortable for me.
for steering offset i alway record telemtry with offset set to 0 run a lap or 2 then pull it up in Motec afterwards.. then i navigate in motec to the straight and see what the steering angle is on the straight.. i then set my offset to what ever the steering angle was.. for example at texas i run -12 offset that may vary based on your wheel and whether its properly calibrated in iracing.
Hold your throttle longer stay up higher on the straights turn later use you brakes to turn it in try to use your back end more than the front in the turns you want to be a little loose almost riding on the top of your rear tires if you understand tire flex you'll know what i mean other than that you are good just keep practising and you'll find your best lines and how to completey control the car
Great to see oval content, dave! The biggest tip i can give on oval is to keep steering ratio between 14:1 or 16:1 to preserve tyre and dont accelerate too early mid corner to let the car rotate on the apron.
Maybe I'm wrong regarding setups for ovals, but looking at the temps of the right front at 25:45, you seem to be using only 2/3rds of the tire. I would look into reducing the amount of camber on that corner so that you can use more tire area.
11:25 on this corner, you got back into the gas too early and too hard. Once the car stops turning at any point in the race you wanna lift off the gas earlier on entry, drag the brake through the middle of the corner and roll back into the gas on exit. Your throttle input mid corner was too fast and "stabby". Thats why the front came off the white line at the bottom. If you do this multiple corners in a row the tires will melt off. The middle tire temp and wear is the one you want to gauge off of at the end of races
I tell ya what Dave, I'll see if I can make that journey to 3000 on oval with ya. LOL, maybe I'll race ya to 3000. I'm near enough whatever you start off with, having not really concentrated on trying to raise my IR on paved oval. I've got a class B license, which shouldn't really affect a drive to 3000 IR. Okay, it's on, and that's before I've seen what your IR is yet. Probably 2750 and I'm starting at 1300 or something, lol. So I will be keeping close tabs on your progress in roundy-rounds and I'm hereby challenging myself to get to 3K before you do. I'm sure I'll be learning along with you as I watch your progress because not only do I find your videos entertaining but also great material to learn from. "Hmm, I wonder where and how Dave brakes into Tarzan in the Cup Porsche?". Thanks for the literally years of being my remote racing buddy/mentor, Dave. Looking forward to many more!
I don't really think channel recommendations are appropriate, but when it comes to oval racing, I'd like to recommend a youtuber called Griffin2448. Gavin's videos are great and his commentary is always calm and friendly. What I particularly like is that you benefit from Gavin's many years of experience because you can learn a lot about oval racing in iracing.
Hey dave, mind posting your FOV, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my setup and tossed a older 50" tv on my rig (close enough to the 48" you're running) and wanted to compare notes
Thx for putting the car numbers on your relative like you said 👍. As for how you're doing, definitely an improvement over last video and the comment @DJYEEJAY left on this video is a perfect explanation. What I had to do is practice getting it to rotate at the right time with trail braking and then get on the throttle right away so there is no coasting and hopefully if all was done correctly I'll be "driving off the right rear" coming off the corner so essentially oversteery on exit which will wear the RR and save your RF. Now that you're at C class you can check out the trucks one of these days Another awesome vid! Edit: just became a member, love your content 👊
I’d like to try this. Problem is I’d naturally want to overtake everything as quickly as possible. I’d have to learn more discipline and patience. Us Brits aren’t used to oval racing. The more I watch, the more I’m starting to appreciate it.
I've just done a race where I started 2nd. The guy on pole shot off into the distance and the old me would have followed. It took me until lap 36 of 40 to catch him up and pass him as his tyres were dead. It gives me something that road racing doesn't 😁
Good job Dave! Patience paid off. I’ll have to start learning this patience thing. I’ll also need to order a cheapo round Fanatec wheel to put on my Simucube.
I don't know Jim's cousin on the poor side, but I can tell you he's lying through his teeth about the damage! The iRacing telemetry only gives damage information when you come into the pits, which is rather annoying. We (CrewChief) have asked for them to provide something while out on track but it doesn't seem to be a priority for them.
I got up to 3k pretty easy.. been stuck between 3-4k for years😂. Always either get caught in someone elses crap, i make a mistake and cause a crash, my internet screws up, vr screws up.. etc.. its pretty frustrating honestly 😂
Better you still have to much wheel into at at times. If you are turning more to make the corner you are putting more heat/wear into the tires. When you get the C license hop in a gen 4 race it will teach you real quick how to drive the car on the rear tires!
Two things that strike me funny. One, it doesn't sound like others know who you are. They call you Mac. And two, at least on oval, it'll be really hard to get an offtrack. Bet it felt good starting in the front instead of in the mayhem, I mean the pack. Good race. But remember, all tracks have their own personality. Gonna be fun watching you learn them.
As soon as you get out of the car go to the garage and see the wear percentage. Or, if you've just changed tyres and still on track you can scroll through the black box and see there 👍
25:44 99% outer tread remaining on the right front tire, tells me you have too much negative camber on that wheel and the tire is not making full contact with the tarmac when the car turns! You are not extracting the best cornering grip available from the car's most important tire! This also could be the explanation for why you have scraped the wall…
@@davecamyt dont mistake the mistake i made when got in to ovals.. i progressed to quicky up the license class and completely threw away a great opportunity to learn proper oval racing techniques that Arca is able to teach you. stay in arca full at least 1 full season or for the first year if you can before moving up to the other stuff.. it'll pay big dividends later on.. the irony is i pushed so hard to get my A license.. and after i got there i cant stand they next gen car so i dont even race the A car stuff except special events like daytona 500.
the camber issue is but only 1 of the major issue with the fixed setup cars.. most of them have the front ride height too low and going through the corner the damn splitter is siiting on the ground more than the front tires are.. they also tend to have the left rear spring way too soft which makes the car scary on exit and loose on entry at worst
he hit the wall because he isn't getting the thing to weight shift enough on to the right rear to get the rotation needed to clear the wall on corner exit
you arent reading your tires correctly after the race,, the inside of the front tires doesnt really corralate to how your driving the car its is useful to helping you get your camber set correctly once you get to open series.. but for fixed the only part of the tire that matters as far as determining how well your saving tires is the center 1/3rd of the tire. wear and heat are related as well so dont just go on wear alone.. look at the temps too.. the harder you push a tire the hotter it gets which will actually make it wear more.. my best advice.. find out how many laps are in your race you plan to run.. then do a time trail for that same number of laps.. then write down your tire wear front/rear for each run in a note book. along with the techniques you were using to save tires.. thaty way you can go back and see how your improving with the different techniques and improvement overall... in oval but actualy all forms of racing documentation and good record keeping is the key especially once you progress to the open setup nascar stuff.
heres an example.. =========================================== Fastest lap last lap #laps RF RR driving technique ================================================================ 1 30.745 34.389 40 9% 80% (NO BRAKE JUST LIFTING ) 2 31.870 32.642 40 59% 77% DRAGGING BRAKE TO WHITE LINE WEIGHT SHIFTING CAR WIITH BREIF THROTTLE PAUSE 3 31.281 32.827 41 49% 71% SAME AS RUN 2 4
Here are a few quick and dirty “rules” I like to follow and it applies to the vast majority of oval tracks.
1. Never add steering input while your car is moving up or down lanes in the corner. This is where tons of tire heat/wear comes from

Yes Dave!! I'm excited for the road to 3K. Hopefully I'll see you in C Open!
Texas is one of my favorites. I don’t have iRacing but you and Ollie have me wanting to break out NASCAR Heat 5. I’m just a console pleb.
Loving this Dave. I’m an Iracing newbie and I’m going to give this a go once ive found my feet
did my first oval races today, have to say I enjoy the demand for consistency. keep pushing Dave you got this !

Hope you stick with this idea. I had already decided to try and get my oval up to 2000 this season coming so this should help.
I hope your journey to 3000 goes well, I just got back on iracing after 2 years and my goal is trying to get 2000

Excellent driving Dave, would've really liked to see the carnage reel on this one, quite a lot of
chatter in the chat during the race.
Just a heads up, the clutch isnt required on the nascars, its a dog box, so the blip will throw it into gear
Great race. Cant wait to see you in a license C trucks 👍
Here we go!!!!
Lets go Davey boy !
Nice, dave. Everyone is going to have an opinion on what works for them. Dj yee, the arca farmer does it the best. So my opinion. I like to run a 10:1 steering ration and a +2 offset on mile and a half tracks and 10:1 +4 on 1 mile tracks like dover. It is just comfortable for me.
for steering offset i alway record telemtry with offset set to 0 run a lap or 2 then pull it up in Motec afterwards.. then i navigate in motec to the straight and see what the steering angle is on the straight.. i then set my offset to what ever the steering angle was.. for example at texas i run -12 offset that may vary based on your wheel and whether its properly calibrated in iracing.
Supposed to get my round rim Wednesday. Maybe I’ll see you out on track. 🤓
Hold your throttle longer stay up higher on the straights turn later use you brakes to turn it in try to use your back end more than the front in the turns you want to be a little loose almost riding on the top of your rear tires if you understand tire flex you'll know what i mean other than that you are good just keep practising and you'll find your best lines and how to completey control the car
Great to see oval content, dave! The biggest tip i can give on oval is to keep steering ratio between 14:1 or 16:1 to preserve tyre and dont accelerate too early mid corner to let the car rotate on the apron.
Yep, 16:1 has made a huge difference
Maybe I'm wrong regarding setups for ovals, but looking at the temps of the right front at 25:45, you seem to be using only 2/3rds of the tire. I would look into reducing the amount of camber on that corner so that you can use more tire area.
This is fixed so you can't really make any changes to the setup, camber etc

If you have a C license step up to the Gen4 cars. Same as the ARCA but more power = more fun

We'll have to start our own 10-12 am UK Oval league :-)...for "senior" drivers (with FA else to do :-)...Arca's usually well populated though
Sounds like a plan 😁

You're making me interested in trying ovals, Dave.
dooooooooo it duuuueeeeeeeee iht *palpatine voice*
Hey you did switch it to MPH!
A Brit "Ricky Bobby". Good stuff
Dave, I had a go earlier and got a 4th. Ended with 39/70 tyre wear. Can I make you an Arca paint?
I think I'm getting one already 😁
I’d like to try this. Problem is I’d naturally want to overtake everything as quickly as possible. I’d have to learn more discipline and patience. Us Brits aren’t used to oval racing. The more I watch, the more I’m starting to appreciate it.

Better you still have to much wheel into at at times. If you are turning more to make the corner you are putting more heat/wear into the tires. When you get the C license hop in a gen 4 race it will teach you real quick how to drive the car on the rear tires!
I've done a few time trials to get me ready for promotion today using the Gen 4 car at Atlanta. It's wild! 😁
@@davecamyt just wait till the track is 124 degrees lol
Loving seeing the ovals man
Two things that strike me funny. One, it doesn't sound like others know who you are. They call you Mac. And two, at least on oval, it'll be really hard to get an offtrack.
Bet it felt good starting in the front instead of in the mayhem, I mean the pack. Good race. But remember, all tracks have their own personality. Gonna be fun watching you learn them.
Tyre salesmen hate this guy
do some more draftmasters!
great race. top scrolling overlay is a bit distracting.
What spotter is this ? Is it on crew chief ?
I’d like to know the same thing!!
It's the JJ Spotter Pack. Install the program and choose the pack from the list in the iRacing spotter options 👍

@@davecamyt thank you Dave ! Legend ! Love the content
How can one tell the % of tire life left? 🤔
As soon as you get out of the car go to the garage and see the wear percentage. Or, if you've just changed tyres and still on track you can scroll through the black box and see there 👍
Oh that’s cool! Thank you!
You need to try gen 4
Atlanta
I did some time trials today to get me ready for end of season promotion. It's wild 😁
@@davecamyt yes really tail lose
@@davecamyt can you do a video on your favorite stuff coming this next season
if Arca was a puppy Gen4 is like a Rottweiler with rabies
25:44 99% outer tread remaining on the right front tire, tells me you have too much negative camber on that wheel and the tire is not making full contact with the tarmac when the car turns! You are not extracting the best cornering grip available from the car's most important tire! This also could be the explanation for why you have scraped the wall…
Unfortunately it's fixed setup so can only change the steering ratio and brake bias
@@davecamyt dont mistake the mistake i made when got in to ovals.. i progressed to quicky up the license class and completely threw away a great opportunity to learn proper oval racing techniques that Arca is able to teach you. stay in arca full at least 1 full season or for the first year if you can before moving up to the other stuff.. it'll pay big dividends later on.. the irony is i pushed so hard to get my A license.. and after i got there i cant stand they next gen car so i dont even race the A car stuff except special events like daytona 500.
the camber issue is but only 1 of the major issue with the fixed setup cars.. most of them have the front ride height too low and going through the corner the damn splitter is siiting on the ground more than the front tires are.. they also tend to have the left rear spring way too soft which makes the car scary on exit and loose on entry at worst
he hit the wall because he isn't getting the thing to weight shift enough on to the right rear to get the rotation needed to clear the wall on corner exit
you arent reading your tires correctly after the race,, the inside of the front tires doesnt really corralate to how your driving the car its is useful to helping you get your camber set correctly once you get to open series.. but for fixed the only part of the tire that matters as far as determining how well your saving tires is the center 1/3rd of the tire. wear and heat are related as well so dont just go on wear alone.. look at the temps too.. the harder you push a tire the hotter it gets which will actually make it wear more.. my best advice.. find out how many laps are in your race you plan to run.. then do a time trail for that same number of laps.. then write down your tire wear front/rear for each run in a note book. along with the techniques you were using to save tires.. thaty way you can go back and see how your improving with the different techniques and improvement overall... in oval but actualy all forms of racing documentation and good record keeping is the key especially once you progress to the open setup nascar stuff.
That's the advice I need. Thank you mate 😁
heres an example..

Great to see you doing some ovals, Dave. Some good sqeaky-bum moments for our entertainment🙂, especially when you brushed the wall early on.
glutton for punishment mate hahaha
Allowing the f-bomb in your vids will get the de-ranked
The only thing I think you can do better at this juncture, is learn to shout "What the fuck?" down the microphone :)
Yep, I'll start practicing 😁
