Just to inform you guys, Race Anywhere have recently narrowed the range of items that are eligible for the 5% discount, now mainly applicable to Pro Sim Rig and Race Anywhere branded items (rig components). Sadly, this means the example shown in the video (5% off a simucube base) is no longer possible. It's a shame and I can see why it's no longer possible, but I have to let you know so you don't feel as if I'm misleading viewers and baiting people with a deal that can no longer be got. What third parties do with their discount programs is totally out of my hands and all I can do is inform you of the change. Thanks for your understanding...
Wow. This is probably the clearest video on BB i have seen.
I second that. The others I've seen didn't explain it as well and left me a bit intimidated. Thank you!
Indeed, very clear. Great video, thank you!!!
What an awesome video. Love the background footage!
This other video talks about when you’ll need to change brake bias in a bit more depth. Really good info when paired with this video.
Why you NEED to change Brake Bias [SIMRACING TUTORIAL]
ruclips.net/video/UK2sl0Po-1I/видео.html
Yep, very clear! Thanks!
I agree
Additional point:
Brake bias also affects tire temperature and therefore overall grip of that tire - more temperature means less grip. For T1 at spa for example you want a more forward bias to not heat up the rears to give you maximum grip for accelerating up the next long straight.
Too much heat, not more temperature (temperature is just a measurement), and not enough heat can both hinder a tire's performance.
Unless driving a fwd
@@felon5714 you just made me lose sooooooo many brain cells
@@xMorales_x why lol
@@felon5714he probably didn't have much to begin with
Bits missed:
1) in sims that simulate rain, the more wet>the less grip>the less mass transfer - more rearwards/closer to 50/50 bias optimal
2) if one is to heat brakes with brake dragging during formation lap, as there is no mass transfer, again, move brake bias to rear to not overheat fronts/for more even heat up (NOT forgetting to move it back to normal prior start)
This was the absolute best video explaining brake bias! Excellent examples and a clear and precise explanation. Thank you so much! Awesome video!
Thanks man, cheers for the feedback
I love this channel! Thank you so much! Keep releasing content. There way you explain things is great and you don’t put weird vocal effects or pronunciation to sound more “professional” thank you for being you.
Even though I always had a rough idea of what brake bias is, now I really understand how to use it and when to increase or decrease it... thank you for the video, very helpful and well explained
Mate, this is so helpful. Thank you very much. Only been at it six months or so with Sim Racing and a lot of this kind of stuff seemed really overwhelming. I feel like a lot of progress with some practice is to come now I know this
Incredible video. Never thought I'd be able to understand the more advanced mechanics but it's so simple. Cheers
The only video one will ever need about brake bias. Amazing job, mate!
Every video you make is absolutely amazing. This one is no different. Thanks so much for these!
Thanks man, far too kind
Thanks, really great, clear and concise guide. One point I would add is that over longer races, depending on the car you might be shifting the brake bias over the duration of a stint, as the car gets lighter on fuel. Depending on where the fuel tank sits, the front or the rear of the car might get lighter so you may slowly shift bias away from that side as the car gets lighter, to preserve similar behaviour.
What an excellent job you have done with this video. Thank you. The work you put into the screenshots of the cars performing the way you’re describing is outstanding! I’m going to share this with several of my friends who like me are trying to learn how to add more skills and techniques to our Sim racing.
Thank you very much, great to hear!
Great coverage of the most important topic in racing. Here is another tip. During a long race for tracks like Spa or Fuji turn 1, where you have a heavy brake into a hairpin followed by a long straight where corner exit is so important and cars without TC like PCup or formula cars. Moving the Bias forward just for this turn to keep the rear tires cool can help you get better traction getting back on throttle. It is another tool for the tool box when solving problems on track during a race. Managing tire temps through Brake Bias is yet another dimension of choosing the best balance between safety, rotation during cornering and traction on exit.
Super informative video, mate. I'm always struggling with brake bias. Hopefully now I'll get it dialed in better 👍
Great video! Thank you! I 've been challenging myself to vary Brake Bias before watching this video, but was overdoing it. Like going 4 or 5 % from my starting bias, usually reducing the front til I got the spins. Then I would gingerly and slowly start to increase it. I learned from your video. Single percent up or down. This will, I think, help with my consistency. Thanks agai!
Probable THE video every (new) simracer was waiting for. Great video with christal clear explanations. Thank you so much Danny. The clip about trail braking was also an eye opener for me. Thnx again.
Thanks so much for taking a second to leave such a lovely comment! The sort of words you can really butter your toast with.
Exactly what i needed to learn yet i didnt even know that i needed it. Thanks for the video!
Great video. Had some issues in iracing/gt3 and Rudskogen. Drove the Audi and had problems in turn 3, the rear spins, and turn 10, can't trailbrake deep into the turn. Changed the brake bias so the car became more stable, voila! Gained more than 0.5 seconds
Thank you!
I have been watching a lot of video on BB and whenever I thought I understood it, it escapes me. With your video however, it all fell in place. Something about your structure made it very simple. I hope this is only one of many videos to come about sim racing set up tutorials in general because if they are done the same way, I would be a very happy sim racer 😊
Thanks man, I've done many tutorials like this so check them all out in my Playlists
Great job explaining and giving multiple examples. This was really helpful!
You deserve many more subs, Danny. Thank you for everything you do.
Best explanation of brake bias on the internet. Well done and thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to explain this so well. It'll help the whole community as noobs as myself work towards online racing to be less of a menace to others by crashing all the time due to lack of knowledge.
And thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!
Well done Danny, probably the best explanation of sim setup I have ever seen, not everyone understands everything about sim racing, so thanks for an uncomplicated explanation for new to sim recing like myself, it can be daunting to race online, maybe this will help me gain a place or 2, thanx again!
Thanks mate, don't ever give up on it because the best is just around the corner - you're well on the way to properly enjoying it and feeling like you've got it nailed.
I've read up on brake bias before but never truly understood it until watching this video, amazing content. Thank you so much
Best thing to hear! Thanks so much for stopping and leaving your feedback
The best explanation for brake bias that I have ever seen!
Great video you earned yourself a sub for that!
I've been simracing for 1,5years now and i've never touched the brake bias before i've always just loaded in a setup from a setup shop and didn't change a thing.
Thanks man, glad you found it helpful and thanks for the sub - it's a big deal indeed!
Thanks, great advice! I knew decreasing brake bias would assist with turn-in but had no idea what percentages I should be using :)
well i needed this like 7 months ago! You've opened up a whole new space to gain time that I never knew existed. Thank you.
Thanks man, cheers for the watch and comment!
When I saw the title while scrolling I had to check whole made the vid, I saw danny and I knew I was in. Just started 3 months and this was massive bro thank you.
I'll be honest, this is the first "set up" type video I've watched where I came away with a clear understanding of what were talking about. Why it's important and how to implement meathod into my driving. 100% New Sub her.
That's brilliant, thanks so much for leaving such kind feedback!
You got my like half way in the video. Great job explaining this!
Excellent video. I’ll be diving into the rest of your content now
Yo thanks for the video! Clearest explanation i have found. Most videos they dart around and just do a simple explanation while also not providing any sort of example so im just left confused! Thank you for helping me finally understand it way better
Thank you so much for the feedback - I really hope it helps you out as you go
This was great information. The tip to use it on first lap is gold! Never thought to use it first lap. I usually just lay back and take it easy. I'm going to try to gain back some of that time now!
Thanks man - sometimes that little nudge of balance on the first lap or two can really save you
Danny, what a brilliant video. I assumed that BB was only to balance tyre wear and where you prefer your main braking force. Tried it in GT7. Almost a second per lap quicker. Many thanks.
Like deployed & subscribed
Thanks man, cheers for taking the time to watch and comment
great video, i change BB an absolute ton on every single lap pretty much
Great video. I started messing about with break bias a while ago and it does sometimes help. But in hectic racing scenario's it can proof too much for me to handle and it becomes more of a "set it and forget it" thing.
A video on differentials would be amazing too. ❤
You do a very good job explaining things. Thank you for doing it in a way people can understand better. I learn a lot about sim racing and at the same time learn about real racing as well.
I’m with everyone else in that I’ve watched several BB videos and this is finally the one that made it click for me. Great content, Danny.
Thanks so much Alex, that's a damn fine thing to read and I hope to keep supplying more like this
Thx man, i always tought i felt understear, while trail braking... it was just too much weight in front while braking
Second video I watched (and subscribed) great points and detailed explanation . I'm hoping this tip gets me to the A DR in GT7 cause every time I get close I fall back. I'll be sure to watch more keep them coming please and thank you.
Thanks man, appreciate the kind feedback and I hope it gives you a fresh dose of inspiration! Cheers for the sub!
Really neat explanation and examples. Thanks!
Solid VERY solid video with great examples! Love your slow mo videos as well! Gg
Thank you, man!
Brilliant. Thanks for that video man. Great help 👍🏻🥃🥃🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🏁🏁🏁🏁
Thank you a lot! I did not notice it, but my brake bias on AC with the AMG GT3 EVO was standard on 71%. Now changing it between 52 and 54%. Laptime on Redbull Ring GP went from 1:32.80-1:34.00 to 1:30.00-1:30.90 on my first 15 laps, trying this out. The Lap record now is 1:29.792. Great video!
Wow, yeah, that would've been killing your car's balance!
Oem cars are always heavily front biased and you generally want front bias anyway as your fronts will always have more grip on brakes so easier to lock the rears. I'm surprised anywhere near 5050 is drivable but I've never used iracing. But most cars in ac (and actually all other sims/games i play) I end up between 65-75 front usually.
A great video Danny.
It took me a while to understand the difference brake bias makes to the handing and braking.
I probably don't use it as much as I should to be honest.
I certainly remember the races at Hockenheim and Fuji where you had the spins.
I thought you were doing it on purpose to make me feel better at my poor driving ability.😉
Keep up the good work matey.
Cheers Doug - At this point I'm like a fat football coach, I like to think I can teach folks the ways, but I'm a tiny bit out of practice myself in terms of execution...
Really helped clear up BB for me, thank you!
Nice footage from SGN, sadly i have not snuck in :P
Very nice explained! 👍💪
Thank you very much! 👍
thx for upload, would love to see your attempts at Dirt Rally 2.0 and a blogpost following up on ham/ver haters
I remember months back we had a race A at Monza in the McLaren P1, that race was pure carnage. Then once again we had the Honda RA272 at Monza as well. Both races were absolute carnage but fun
I have seen many videos about bb and still don’t understand a thing. This video is the clearest explanation so far. Great work❤❤
Thanks so much, too kind - I hope for this result every time I create a guide
Got DQ’d yesterday in a Formula 1600 Race from a slide out during a battle for the lead 😢 Man I wish I’d had seen this yesterday at work instead of today 😂 Awesome video. Will definitely be implementing brake bias into my racing.
Brilliant, thank you for the great explanation.
What a fantastic video this is clearest I have seen brake bias explained thank you
Glad you like it, thanks for watching and commenting!
Outstanding video, thanks for making this! Would you consider a similar video covering other common in-car adjustments. Particularly ARB? I'm mostly curious about how you may make these adjustments over the course of a tire stint.
good point; how does using arb relate to brake bias
This is a great video. Well put together. Ty
great video, very useful information, thank you very much
Thank you, sir. Very well explained indeed.
Really good stuff. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment!
This video just got me a pole and win on the gt4 fixed. It COMPLETELY changed the cayman, thank you Danny
Awesome!!!
Thank you! I learned a lot.
Awesome stuff thanks dude
Great explaination! thanks for making this video
I've learned it easily when in f2 on f1 21 when i started sliding around under braking.
You are the master at explanation! Thanks 😊
I do agree is the easiest explanation so far.thank you
Great content!
Well done and informative,
Thanks for the lesson 😉
Liked and subscribed. Great video 👍👍
that was a great breakdown, thank you.
Thanks man, cheers for watching and your thoughts!
Daaaaaam.....now thats an exceptionaly great explanation😁👍 Thank you 😉
Very good tips. Merci beaucoup!
Subbed. Great video 👍🏻
Very goog and clear explanation of BB. Could you elaborate a little about BB and FWD cars vs RWD ? Thanks
Definitely gonna be lowering my BB after watching this. I've found that it helps me feel better with the car, but given the explanation of the video, I've just gone way too far. If I bring it down just 1%, I can probably improve a bit more. I've gotten over a second faster on most tracks in the last year just trying to break bad habits and use every bit of track available, and this will definitely be a new tool in the arsenal
Nice Tutorial.
There are more Factors like what Pedals you running, how much force on the Brake Pedal etc
Excellent video. I finally get it now.
Awesome, great to hear. Happy twiddling!
Great content Danny BB explained perfectly...
Came in handy for the N24h 😂
Great stuff mate!
didnt understand, and now i feel like i can teach abt it, thank you very much
Awesome, thank you so much for leaving your thoughts. Always pleasant
Great video. I think your driving lessons are the best around. I'd love a video on brake bias in the wet to see how you tackle iracings new rain addition
Helpful guide thank you
Thank you so much!
Very nice Danny 👌
Wonderful training content and pedagogy 👍
Learnt a new word today
Amazing! Thanks so much for this
My pleasure!
“You don’t need to knows the ins and out on HOW it works, just that it DOES” damn straight.
When i took a physics class in high school the teacher asked me when youre more likely tp shock someone when you touch them. I replied, "when its cold." When he asked why, "i dont know, i just noticed thats when it happens more often." He said, "thats the correct answer!" Then he went on to explain it, of course.
Such a helpful video!
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Fantastic explanation and thorough 👍👍
Thanks so much, dude - appreciate the view and comment!
@@dannyleeracing And a Sub 😉. Been out of sim racing for 18 Months after burning out from lack of progress, taking it too seriously and needing a break.
On my return running better than ever before and your videos are a massive help. Thanks!
Great video mate thank you 👌
Thanks man, hope it helped
Excellent video. Subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
This video is gold!! Thank you Danny! And i play Assetto.
Thanks man
Very well explained
Thank you Danny.
Brake Bias was something I thought I should change once in a lap and that was it, and that it wasn't something that important. After I started thinking about how I could make my car brake better or more stable during specific corners I soon realized how much it meant for lap times. I improved significantly after doing so. For example, in Spa, at the first corner and the last chicane I needed to have higher front bias in order to help the car brake better but have less of it for other corners because I needed the car to rotate and not stop as much. That alone made me shave about a second off a lap
That's awesome! A perfect example of how you can find the gains that seem impossible, just by giving everything a bit of thought and effort. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, too!
u explained it so simply thank u
Thanks dude, and let me say at no point did I mention your wife
