Hi, this helps a lot. I'm new to iracing and really love racing the MX5 but my problem is with changing gears. Mine seems to bounce off the rev limiter for a short period before engaging the next gear, whereas yours seems like a normal transition to the next gear. What am I doing wrong?
Welcome to iRacing and on the channel! Any chance you're having the auto-blip assist turned on? I'm only driving with the anti-stall clutch assist, which does nothing when you are racing.
Can you explaint why you dont use 100% brake pressure into the turns? It this a generel thing in Iracing to not use 100% brake pressure even if you have ABS in the car?
Balance iRacing simulates the whole suspension, and every time you hit the brakes with 100% pressure the whole load of the car shifts to the front and leads to understeer. That's why you pretty much only want to brake with 100% pressure at the beginning of straight and hard braking zones. Towards the end of it you want to decrease the pressure to shift the load away from the front and give yourself an easier time on the turn in. You're not gaining that much additional braking force beyond 85% pressure because as you say, the ABS kicks in anyway, and the disadvantage from the weight transfer almost always destroys the slight benefits you can generate in certain situations. That's why I'm barely, if ever, braking with full force.
I've always struggled with this track. Hoping this week is different. Thanks again for the guide!
Thanks for the guide! Looking forward to the stream tomorrow.
Nice guide this week! Thanks, Seb!
nice guide! looking forward to next week!
Thanks for the guide, always saves my races
Looks easy, but needs a lot of practice. Thanks for sharing!

GL! Too late for the race, use it for the next one ;)

@@crexLive Thanks, I will try this when I load it up later 👍
Me sliding on the downhill for the 30th time in a row

Jokes aside, keep pushing and you'll get it to work =)

Noob question, are you braking with your left foot? Or right foot braking and blipping the throttle with your heel?
You don't need the clutch in this car aside from helping to optimize standing starts, so I would imagine he is left foot braking.
I'm braking with my left foot 👍🏼
I was born with two left feet. If I'd try to blip with my heel I'd probably break my ankles 😅
