An important detail i failed to discuss was degrees of rotation when calibrating the wheel. I recommend 900 degrees of rotation (in your profiler and in sim) when doing fixed setup oval racing. Trick #1 may not produce the same results with a setting other than 900 degrees (thank you to Niels Heusinkveld for pointing this out, go support his channel!)
Okay I’m going to try this. It was recommended to me to go higher, say, 1080.... So as to lessen my input on steering.
G29 only has 900 anyway so I always wondered if there was an advantage of going higher or lower
I just tried arca cars at Charlotte. Ran 10 laps like you did. Used everything in the video. My lowest was 98 on the right front
Is this the setting where when calibration iracing asks you to turn the wheel 90 degrees?
Jeez man, I've been looking for a video of this caliber. Everyone always says "Save tires" but this shows exactly how it's done. Thanks man
thank you, that feedback means the world to me!
Finally, a tips and tricks video that doesn't put me to sleep!
Awesome to hear, Palmer! Thank you!
This is the absolute best advice on how to attack iracing I have came across. Switched my driving style, gained 120 irating in the first 2 races. I knew I was doing something wrong, and this video finally gave me the speed I knew I had. Extremely grateful. Great content as always!
Amazing how it works, right? Thank you!
You sir, are a beautiful human being. This is low key the tip video I've needed for months. Good lord I was doing so many things wrong
Glad I could help!
Jokes on you, I do all of these and still burn my tires off.
Truly legendary
Lmao im in a league with u
Literally same lol
Exactly no matter what I do my tires are done half way thru a run I had to move up out of arca to win races even tho it is my favorite car just so I can get yellows. Even if I back off almost half a second per lap my tires still get killed idk wtf I’m doing wrong
17 dislikes are from people mad that their tricks were discovered
We are up to 20 dislikes now.
OMG! What a time to discover your videos. I hung up my wheel several years ago due to frustration and dissapointment. I've been back in iracing about a week now and so glad I now know the secrets. I was one of those on off switch throttle drivers and did not understand the steering ratio nor brake bias. This is a whole new ball game now. Thanks bud!
Boom! Go get some results with all that new knowledge, Alex!
Had to subscribe after watching this! This is some of the best iRacing instructional content I’ve ever seen. I’ve made it to Class B and these longer races have people with less tire wear passing me towards the second half of the race. Looking forward to using these tips! Thanks
Thanks, Clarke - glad to be of help, keep up the good work!
Just tried this in practice using my current driving method, then tried this and it really works. Thank you so much for doing this video, it's going to make s big difference for me (need to practice it more though).
You're welcome, I'm glad this video is still helpful years later!
Did my first ARCA race last night and I was slow + my wheels were falling off. Really frustrating. This video is super helpful as you pointed out 2 things I was doing wrong immediately. Thanks a bunch!
Been racing for 7 YEARS on iRacing and I have to say this video is great. My team isn't the best in the world but we win top split A and B open races regularly. All of these tricks are 100% accurate and translate to the open sets.
thank you for this video, im brazilian so its a little hard for me understand well english, but you speak calmy and make be easy to understand even for those who arent fluent
Happy to hear that, thank you for that feedback - really appreciate you checking out the video and being in the community, Lucas!
A great info vid for iRacing Oval racing. It's extremely helpful to know how to save. Thanks so much for making this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@schildhouse Yessir. It was outstanding.
I love you for this video. Thanks a bunch. Speedway tire wear has always been my struggle and could never figure out how people take care of them so well.
Happy to help!
This is such a great video! I have struggled with tire wear for a long time and these tips, as well as the way you explained them, was definitely a game changer! Have you thought of making more videos like this? I have a feeling that this could become a hit series :D
You're so welcome! The thoughts have already started swirling about what to make next - stay tuned!
@@schildhouse Subbed to learn and watch the GROWTH
Couldn’t agree more
I'm soooo glad I starting dragging the brake on my 2nd day of playing. Was very easy to learn
This tips&tricks is simply amazing, gonna give it a try today.
You sir, are a legend and you now have a new subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I stopped playing iRacing for around a year, just got back into it and was going through tires WAY faster than I used to. I'll admit, I've never been amazing at tire management, but it seemed like it went from a bit below average to the worst of the worst for no reason. I have a habit of over steering, and while it's always hurt me, it's never hurt me as much as it has now, and thanks to your video I know exactly why and what I need to improve the most. I asked some people I knew some ways to save tires, and they basically explained your third point, which is something I've always done, but am far from mastering. I didn't think throttle and break management was the issue, or at least the largest one, and it feels good to know that while I still need to improve it, it's far from the worst of things I'm doing. I seriously cannot thank you enough, you've earned yourself a subscriber man. I also love your weekly racing guides. Do you think you'd be able to add the Legends series to that as well?
Really awesome to hear this helped you, that's all I could hope to accomplish with these videos! My goal is to cover everything I possibly can - the FSORG has expanded so much already but it ultimately comes down to time. If I can keep quality high and add in more content, I will always try to do that. Thank you!
Amen..The Holy Grail of videos after a year of What Am I Missing? The only things saving me was that line is my natural line and that I don't know enough of anything to have created any major bad habits. At least racing ones lol so i've Liked Subscribed and will be joining to. Even if the model isn't the same Ill just add what I do right and 50 years of driving on Ohio's crappy black ice covered roads in every vehicle imaginable. Big Time Thanks
Appreciate you very much - a lot of this is still relevant
Awesome video David. Very informative and interesting. I hope you do more videos of this kind
More to come!
Hell ya, great video.. love the stupid proof approach of explaining everything! Please do more!!
WATCH OUT schildhoused!! I'M COMMING FOR YOUR JUICEY IR!
Hahaha....happy to share some iR with ya!
This is an awesome video definitely learned alot off this video my whole race has changed breaking is a big learning curve but this is something I have been looking for to help understand a little more about getting better amazing video man
Thank you, David - it is a steep learning curve so anything that I can do to help smooth it out a bit is something I'd love to pursue!
I finally got around to watching this video, you did very well at articulating and explaining everything. I would say that the 3rd tip is the absolute most important thing to be faster over a run. The 2nd tip is definitely important but will be useless kind of if you're not driving correctly in the first place. I am going to say the 1st tip is only relevant if you need a crutch with turning your steering wheel. I personally will never go above 12:1 on speedways, I prefer 10:1 on short tracks, and 8:1 on road courses. In the '87 Cup car since it only goes to 14:1, I actually have to do +18 offset because I have trained my brain to make me not turn the wheel past a certain point, lol. That's just my feedback, awesome video though and see you in more Winter Series races! :)
Appreciate it, AJ, see you out there!
Thank you for the tips, I can’t wait to try them and see how they work for me. Like you said, it’s not a one size fits all for everyone, and it’s definitely going to take a lot of practice. But anything to help in a fixed environment is worth a shot
Right you are, Shane!
Great video! I am a road/formula 3 driver, but this information is still useful and can be converted for use in my driving. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thanks. I had my lightbulb moment a couple of days ago with the light switch method. The brake bias and degrees (20:1) explanations were brill. Cheers!
Glad it helped!
Hey man, this definitely helps alot 👍 appreciate the time you took to explain
My pleasure to share this info and help others - thanks for watching!
I just wanted you to know that this video is actually helpful to me now that I have a computer that isn’t garbage/I got iracing
Awesome video! Good work, buddy!
Thank you, Jim!
Thanks for this, the race before this video i started pole at kentucky, led half the laps but fell back to 10th as tires went off, next race i changed steering ratio, started pole again and led from start to finish, i made a video and linked yours in the description. cheers.
That's a major league GG, Olly - thank you and congrats on finding that success!
Thank you, as a I racer I never really learned anything other than balls-to-the-wall all out driving because for success in rookie class that is what you need
My pleasure to help - may it bring you a lot of success down the road!
Great video David. I followed the info and went from a 92% right front to a 97% in a ten lap run. Anyone can throw together content to get fast views. You actually put time and effort into this. I've watched you for a while now on twitch. (SUNDAY MONEY) Keep it up. We should run some laps I still have a lot to learn and you have a lot to teach.
That's amazing - what a huge gain! Incredible, thank you for letting me know it helped you!
Thank you so much man, I won my first race from watching this video!
now that is the perfect testimonial for the information shared in the video, thank you and congrats!!
i won my first race after watching this and i had never won in a stock car before
That's pretty awesome to hear, Billy! Glad it helped and here's to many more victories!
Awesome video. Would love to see more of this type of content
More to come!
Great video dude. iRacing needs a youtuber who can make videos this well! Keep it up brother
I appreciate that! Thank you very much for the kind words and I plan on making more videos similar to this to continue helping the community improve!
Thanks so much man! After winning the pole like 3 or 4 times and losing cuz of this, I had a bad qualifying and started 13th but ended up winning the first time I used these!
Love to hear it, Jeremy!
Unreal video man. Cannot wait to try this out tonight. I just got into D license and went into an ARCA race last night and what a disaster. 10 laps in and had absolutely SMOKED the front tires off of her. Thanks for explaining it like this, I know it’s going to yield results.
ARCA at Legacy Michigan is a great car/track combo to use these tricks - best of luck and thank you for the kind words!
Dude, finally got around to actually trying this in a race. Wow. Qualified 8/24 in mid split (I think, it was race 4 out of 9 total races). Took it easier then I probably had too in the beginning, dropped back to 12th and slowly picked guys off until I got back to 9th with 6 laps left. Couple dudes got aggressive and wrecked and I ended up 6th, with the leader only 6.5 seconds ahead. Also, I was the highest finishing D class driver in a mostly A and B class field. Thank you so much again. It’s CRAZY to me that those adjustments make that much of a difference. I greatly appreciate you putting out this video.
@@glenthomasjr Awesome to hear, Glen! Keep at it!
Well produced video. Excellent in explaining why we should listen to your advice. A subject many You Tubers leaves out. Appreciate sharing some of the tips that can potentially help newer, and unknowing, (like me!) oval racers. Your presentation was nice and calm, rather than some loud carnival barker. Definitely will watch more of your videos
So nice of you to say, William - thank you! It was important to me that the information was presented in a manner that gave the "what" and the "why" in a clear and concise fashion.
Great tips in this must see video! Thanks Schildhoused!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You sound like you could sell ketchup Popsicles to a person in white gloves.
Fantastic video man !
Very comprehensive and informative 👌
The light switch method is definitely my Achilles heel.
I will give this a try, thanks dude
😂 that might be the funniest compliment I've ever heard, thank you Joe! You got this!
You are my hero!!! Thank you David!
My pleasure to share this information! Can't wait to see what you're able to do with it!
So you're telling me that I cannot just drive it in deep every corner and hope no one is on my outside? Ridiculous..
No, keep doing that so I can beat you - oh wait, I'll just get wrecked lap 2 LMAO
@@schildhouse aye that catchfence taste kinda good ngl
I try to pass everyone in turn one and hopefully I’m clear by 2 because I’m coming up regardless
I'm pretty sure they throw the checkered flag on lap one just off of turn 2. Ya gotta dive bomb into turn one. It's the only logical way.
Tires, safer now they are. Thank you, I must. Win a race this year, I will...
Great video! I only did trick #3 but never paid attention to sterring ratio and brake bias, and couldn't figure out why I was so bad at saving tires. Thanks for the help, I needed it😅
Glad it helped, these things are so simple but effective!
The first race I did after watching this was in the xfinity series and I was challenging for the lead and I had better tire wear. Thanks!
Hell yeah, that's what I love to hear! Thank you!
Excellent video! The iracing community needs more content like this.
Thank you, Boddah - I couldn't believe a video like this didn't exist already so it was a no-brainer to make it, even though NTMv7 has been out for a year now!
Thank you for the help 👊
Happy to help!
Thank you!! It worked at Vegas C-Trucks tonight, the field slowly came back as they burned up their rubber.
Really good video! 💪🏼👍🏼
Appreciate it!
DAVID!! This video is SO GOOD
Thank you!
Thank you so much man!!! U Helped me tons
Glad this is still helpful, awesome to hear!
Looking to subscribe to iRacing this Christmas. Will definitely be looking back at this video as I do my first car tests.
Awesome to hear, Michael! When you're ready to jump in, I can provide a referral link for you to use when you sign up - feel free to message me on my Discord or on Twitter to get it!
Great video. Thank you Sir
Thanks, Roddy! Glad you found it to be helpful!
This power....this knowledge......
IT WILL MAKE ME UNSTOPPABLE
YOU HAVE THE POWER!
Thank you very much for this video!
Happy to help!
Great video. Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
I am an A class driver that barely have any races under my belt (Time Attack lol). This just saved me a lot. I was struggling with long runs and I quickly found out I was doing all the wrong strats.
nice, glad it still helps!
Dude thank you! Setup tips. explanations on what things do, and how it all works in game... Love it
Glad to help!
I am guilty of doing the light switch thing, thanks for those tips I really needed that help, I never could figure out what I was doing so wrong but now I know!
You are so welcome!
Great video! Even though I know this stuff, I feel like I learned something. Shared n subbed.
Thanks Jon!
Thank you for the tips brother!!
Sure thing!
(EnvisionDF)... Good stuff man... Following your guidelines will hopefully help me improve the long green flag lap times.... I appreciate it.
And for the four dislikes to the video... F YOU!!!
Awesome to hear, I hope you find these tricks to be valuable!
Jumping straight from road course racing in AC to oval racing was a hard leap to make, and this video has definitely helped teach me better ways to drive on ovals
Awesome to hear! Thank you!
Holy Smokes! After watching this and about an hour of practicing the recommendations, I saw significant drops in my lap times at Cali and massive improvements in tire wear. Just wow man, how can we get more from you?
Awesome to hear, Bill!! What else would you like to see?
Could we just get some live racing?
@@luxedits2164 twitch.tv/schildhoused
Just Won Fixed race last night trucks at IOWA doing this, great video and was running the same lap times from lap12 to lap 30 of the green flag run caught the leaders from 3 seconds back during this run then built up a 3 second lead on them. and didnt know about the brake bais I will mess with it to get better thanks
Hell yeah!! Love to hear it, thank you!
great video..thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video! I looked at my wheel settings and it was not set to 900. I adjusted the wheel settings in iRacing and my profiler. I made some additional settings for the force feedback and now oval racing is much more enjoyable. Before it would feel like the cars steering was floating down the back stretch. The other tips were awesome as well. I actually won a street stock series race after all of the adjustments and tips from this video. I hope you do more videos like this one. This video was very helpful! Once again, Thank you very much!
That is wonderful to hear, Christopher! Thank you for sharing your experience with me!
Do you recommend 900 degrees for all types of iRacing?
Is this 900 setting the one where the wizard asks you to hold it 90 degrees to the left?
Hey David. This video inspires me to maybe comeback to FTF and next iracing season actually try to compete in iracing official races in 2021 besides trucks. If only college isn't a pain.
Fantastic video and channel
Thank you very much!
Hey man I love the video.
I think you should do a weekly track tutorial on some of the official races or maybe just one whichever would be easier. You could show us to different breaking points and tips and stuff to make us better I think your knowledge would be invaluable.
Hi Derek - thank you very much for the kind words! Your idea is something that is of interest to me, it just comes down to the proper format and visuals to maximize the effectiveness of what I'm showing. There's so much subjectivity when it comes to "how to" style videos for sim racing since everyone is different but it is a concept I'm exploring for next season!
Maybe I'll learn how to drive now.
We can only hope
@@schildhouse hopefully
I hope so Nathan
I doubt it nate
With steering, you also have the potential variable of steering wheels calibrated to whatever rotation you set in your wheel software, and if you've calibrated it properly in iRacing. I don't know how the game does it, but perhaps you get non linear steering if you'd drive a 900 degree steering car with a 180 degree calibrated steering wheel..
A very good point, indeed! I failed to mention that I recommend 900 degrees of rotation for fixed setup oval racing. Thank you, Niels!
Does anyone know what tire model street stocks are using? I have some long league races coming up and I want to see if any of these apply.
Awesome video! It's changed my life!
Do you know some tricks for f1 and lmp1 tyres? I tried many setups with different driving styles but i am still not able to reach the proper tyre conditions for the car to grip better.
Unfortunately, no - I do not race in either of those series so I don't have any helpful insight to share. If you learn anything, feel free to share with me 😁
Before watching this video: running P3 at around half distance, tyres start going off and I finish P9.
After watching this video: clean laps within a second for a whole 40 lap race, P1!
Boom - success!
Great video!!! My only issue is that brake dragging technique. Completely correct and will improve lap times and tire wear, but in an official race where half the field is using the light switch technique, you will find yourself getting rear ended or pit manoeuvred on entry. Throughout the turn you will ultimately be way faster, but I’ve found on turn entry the people using light switch technique just use you as the brake instead. I’m at 2500ir , so I imagine once I get to the higher splits the situation may be different.
What is the light switch technique?
How do you adjust your throttle points, do you drive in a little deeper and compensate with the brakes or let off at the same point and carry lower center speeds due to the rear braking?
Thanks for this! Back on the old tire model, I used 900 degrees and it helped a ton, this is a job well done!
Thank you, Nick!
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed!
Review from a fellow iracer:
1. I only ever adjust the steering ratio 1 or 2 notches because comfort will save tires more than just having a higher ratio. I use 12 or 14:1 at the most at big tracks and 8 or 10:1 for small tracks so I don't kill my arms. I still finish well, win occasionally, and don't burn tires (mostly comes from more practice). Also, I fix my steering ratio so I'm driving straight down the straights.
2. I use more front brake bias for short tracks and brake earlier into corners, and the same for the big tracks. It just depends on the series and how loose or tight the cars are. Rolling through the corners and not overdriving on entry saves tires even more than brake bias.
3. I have no argument lol. I learned this on Gran Turismo. Easy on the throttle, light on the brakes. Best case of learning this: street stocks at USA. That's how I won races there after I took it easy on the pedals.
HOLY HELL, you are the MAN
Nahhhhh....I'm just a man, not THE man 😁
Nice video buddy
Thank you, my friend!
Ok time to practice this
Thank you very cool
Thank you too!
This video was amazing. MLG racing whistleblower cant to try out these tactics
I really appreciate this video! My friend sent me this video as this is how he has achieved such a good irating of like 6000.
I have all the information. You can remove the video now. LOL
😂 awesome that your friend sent this to you - use it well!
Thanks for this video. So, is steering offset not as important? Or maybe a driver feel thing?
Offset is purely personal preference, correct
Wow the difference started 14th finished 5th but wow I was able to be so much more competitive 3 wide beating them all through the corner with no incidence as well as crossovers it was just a lot more consistent and so much more fun
great to hear, Cory!
Wow this is gonna help me alot I thought my setup was just getting tight on the long run
Awesome to hear, Caleb - go get those good finishes!
@@schildhouse have to avoid the wreckers first lol
In the Xfinity car at Nashville, my brake bias was all the way down to 53% and I still wanted less. I guess I like turning on brake...
Also, my tire wear was significantly less than most of the other guys, by up to 15% on the right front!
good to know these tips are still helpful nearly two years later!
Hi. Thank you first for the video. I wanted to know if this works for road?
Hi Cantu - this video is specifically aimed at fixed setup oval racing, not road. That's not to say that some of the information shared wouldn't help but I cannot say that it'd have the same impact with that discipline of racing. Pedal technique will absolutely help, no matter if it's road or oval - that much I can say with confidence. Thank you!
What is the key to finding the right brake bias during the race? Do we try to keep it as low as possible without getting loose while gently braking in turn entry?
Hi Mike, a lot of it is personal preference - there is no "right" value to use but there are certainly values that are too high or too low for effective performance. Each track is different so I'd recommend spending the time in practice to figure out where you like it and get comfortable with that setting before you do a race.
That FPS at 11:40 though. Nice.
Always keep it capped at 69. Nicest fps you can have!
1: Steering ratio has only to do with driver comfort.
2: Brake bias affects if you are loose or tight entering the corner. It has nothing to do with tire saving, unless you are wrecking 24/7. You also don't hardly ever brake on bigger tracks.
3: The middle wear is NOT the only important wear. As a matter of fact, it is the least important, as the inner compared to outer matters for camber. Otherwise, 3 is correct.
I'm sorry but I can't agree with any of your counterpoints, JRS. I appreciate your feedback.
@@schildhouse I have been building setups on the sim for over a year at a pretty professional level. All points are valid. Brake bias comes with the driver, and can vary. Steering ratio comes down to response time from driver. I know many top tier drivers who use lower ratios at bigger tracks.
I would say that you are correct on 1, I run 12:1 almost all the time, works fine. It's about how much you like turning the wheel (I don't like turning it more than 30-45 degrees, so 12:1 works for me). Two however, is wrong in the context of this video. Since this applies to (mostly) fixed setup racing, most of the setups are so tight that you have to knock the brake bias down to get any rotation on corner entry, taking any bit of load off of the right front. 3 is the same with the context, people in fixed races like to read back tires after runs to compare, and usually use the middle wear % to compare.
@@willnorton8335 comes down to driver in final 2, but he states of a complete sweet spot, which I disagree with. As far as tire wear, you have to read lowest wear, and follow from that. If your inside is scrubbing more, you need to adjust your line for a better apex, ect. I do like your points though, and I am happy we can mostly agree on everything as far as range is concerned.
Me during intro yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
😂😂
I don't have to many issues with tire wear in the ARCA car. But I noticed it in a xfinity race at Homestead last night. And Homestead is not one of my best tracks.
On 1.5 mile tracks where you don't have to lift entirely into the corner early in the run, do you just drag the brake along with your normal feathering input?
Whatever takes load off the RF and keeps heat down, that's what matters most. A little brake drag goes a long way.
@@schildhouse Copy that. One of the big things I"m noticing is I'm losing too much time because it feels like im lifting too much. trying to find a nice balance.
How do I put on the throttle monitor on my screen ?
