"Consistently Inconsistent" 😂 frfr though I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm on my 5th month of iracing after spending thousands on a SIM Rig. After the panick of being terrible and feeling sick like I've made a thousands of dollars mistake. I've committed to allowing my license to drop back down where it belongs (I didn't race just stayed in the rear snd tried to get D license. Only to learn that idk shit about racecraft) so I took my time, learned my break points, I went from 1250 to 1450ish. Up and down from there. I've learned that I don't need to be first or last or DNC trying to ve first. I've learned some patience, and I'm parked around 1750ish rating within my first 6mos. I've watched hundreds of hours of training. And ALL of my free time is devoted to racing now. Its only average at best. But it's growth and thats exciting for me.
Great video. What I do in breaking zones is I'll break at the eg 2.3 point. I feel that I can consistently accurately estimate the first decimal for breaking zones market by a single digit. For corners where they are marked by # of meters, I will estimate my points down to increments of 10 meters, I feel I can't accurately estimate in any smaller increments than that eg 2.4 vs 2.3 or 140 vs 130 meters. Depending on the car uplifting early can decrease wheel spin especially out of slower corners. Being extremely familiar w/ when to up or downshift for that particular car can make a big difference especially if the gears are very wide apart or spaced unevenly. I see many people downshift the Formula Vee too early in some gears but not others. If the track is uphill, you can break harder than usual & there will be a more rear weight bias to the car and less likely to oversteer on turn in. Similarly on a downhill you may have to break more gently especially w/ trail breaking bk there will be a higher chance of the rear getting light and lockingup. You might want to adjust the break balance turn to turn to take advantage of shifting balance of the car bk of incline of the road (the best I can do is region of the track, 3-4 corners at a time). Also if your car's gas tank is at one end of the car, the car's weight distribution is going to change as you burn fuel. (Eg the Porsche Cup car will become more rear biased as the race goes on, so you may want to move the break bias forward to reduce snap oversteer under breaking (although there will be more POTENTIAL rear breaking bk of the more rear weight bias).
Im pretty consistent, but i never use breaking/ turn un points or any other reference points when i drive. Im usually ca 3sec off the wr and i want to come closer to it. Do you have any tips for how to get good reference points and how to think and analyze my own driving for maximum increase in pace?
For breaking points and turn in. Drive a few laps, close to your personal limit, go into replay and when you come to a braking zone, stop the replay and watch out for obvious markings around the track. Distance boards, the beginning or changing of curbs or tracks. Markings/lines/cracks on the track (not shadows). Advertising boards, different colors or breaks in roadside barriers. Go back on track an try to locate the markers you choose, while driving with decent speed.
@@-row-garfield3129iv'e never even watch a replay of mine let alone to analyse it, i'll try to do that and push my times further. im thankfull for your input.

I'm pretty consistent... Consistently slow 😂

great video, thanks for the advice
I dont like the soundeffects made for ADHD people, but I understand they are common to use by now. Explanation is worth the stay.
Thanks for the video!
Excellent video!
Great vídeo! Direct to the point
