Very useful starting point. I spent three days last week there in my 996 - an utter blast. The video is great but when you drive it in real life it's an amazing experience. Thanks for taking the time to out this together !
Wow love the idea of taking a 996 around the Island, one of my dream cars!
Great walk-through. I've driven this track quiet a few times however I've never had any instructors or analysis of my lines. This is a great insight into what is a quick time.
Thanks Pete. Keep in mind I'm just an amateur driver myself so I may not have it perfect, but nonetheless I hope you find some improvements in laptime!
Came across this by accident and your speed and lines were very similar to my rx8. You carry some impressive corner exit speed onto the straights. Going to your tighter entry lines on t2 and t10 a go when next down there in September.
Good luck, hope you find a new PB in the RX8 :-)
Great video. I watched this prior to taking my MX5 to Phillip Island for the first time late last year. Being new to any sort of track or high performance driving this was awesome for giving me some confidence prior to getting on the track myself. I was at the island for a come try day with the MSCA also and they had Cam McConville talk through the track turn by turn. There wasn't much difference between that and your guide. Hope you do this for a few of the other tracks in Vic!
Thanks PEDLEG, really appreciate it :D
Very informative and a great example of how a lower powered vehicle can keep up and even beat the bigger boys. Well done!
Thanks Mate
Thanks for putting this together. Great guide
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Brendan,
I've been building my own racecar for about 18 months now, and going to Phillip island next week for my first track day. Thanks for the video, was a great help. Cheers, James
Have fun and good luck :-)
Thanks BB. Great instructional vid. I'm planning to visit The Island for the first time very soon. I have watched your vid multiple times and will be watching many more times before I get there. Getting the best out of a track is obviously more than just having a powerful car. It looked and felt like you were having a blast :) Cheers for the upload.
Happy to help Ziggy!
Nice work. I'm heading back there soon and this is a great refresher. Thanks!
Thanks for watching man! :)
Great video and an amazing track to drive
Thanks a lot!
Mate this is a great vid, we hit P.I. yesterday for the 1st time for me and i watched this vid prior, but after 25 laps yesterday mate i gotta say....you can steer mate, great vid.
Thanks, I made this guide video a fair while ago now, so the car has progressed a fair bit from what it was like to drive back then.... nowadays its got twice the power, feels like a rocket. Hope you had a good 1st day at phillip island... assume you will be coming back again soon?
@@Bbeavis Hi mate.....100% getting some track tyres for next time and can't wait, have a great day mate....cheers M
Great video mate. Awesome driving
+detcelloc thank you
Great job Brendan, nice introduction to the circuit, invaluable for those who are preparing to drive at the Island for the first time.
+Pixel Culture thanks for watching.
Looking forward to seeing more
Nice work, great explanation.
Glad you liked it!
Brilliant mate. You should do one for Winton!
Thanks :) Winton is on the to-do list for sometime soon.
Excellent Video, thanks for sharing.
+Robert Hart Thanks very much for watching Robert!
looking for a track guide to this weeks track on iracing and came across this, great video, thanks!
Beliall™ hehe, same here. See you on track!
Cool, good luck, hope your iracing event goes well.
I really suck at T2, such a tough corner. Will be using your t2 line for my next day out here. Cheers for the guide!
Your laptimes are still solid! I noticed your lap in the video from about a week ago you tend to hold inside all the way round. Try the "double apex" idea, it should work for you.
Awesome video; very helpful; thanks mate
Glad you liked it!
Brilliant video Brendan!! You've gone to so much trouble to edit this together with your voice over! Well done mate!
Thank you Gavin. Really appreciate it!
Great video, very helpful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
This was fantastic, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
GREAT Video! Thanks very much!
My pleasure!
Great video. Really helped with my online league performance in V8 Supercars. Thanks!
Hey thanks Ross :) Hope you had some wins.... was it iRacing?
Haha, NASCAR Racing 2003. Even though it's an early engine of iRacing, the guide still holds up for it.
really helpful, thanks!
No worries, glad I could help!
G'Day Brendan, Like other folk, I'd love to see equivalents for Sandown & Winton.
Your instructional style is terrific. Thanks.
Coming someday in the future hopefully Gavin, thanks for the kind words.
It took me a while, but ask, and you shall receive: ruclips.net/video/ord0gfaAjSQ/видео.html
This is a very good instructional video. And the guy in the Porsche gives a good indication of how much a driver difference makes.Only two things I picked, not that yours is wrong. Just my ideas. Brake as late as possible into turn 2 and hold the brake just enough to keep the car from spinning out ( should feel like it is going to rotate -360) until you get to around mid corner, between the two apexes. And turn 9, I like to stay out wide and bring it in more gradually, reducing the amount of understeer going over the crest.I know a lot of people could benefit from this video. Well done. Please share people..
Nice content, learned a lot for iracing v8 supercars ty
Awesome mate, good luck with your sim racing, let us know if you win!
@@Bbeavis i actually won my first race in v8 supercars 3 races after I watched this!!! For reels lol
@@Bralph888 That's awesome! I'm actually building my own new sim setup, still probably a few months before I have all the bits setup and find some room in the house for it.
@@Bbeavis cool, i have g29 for$300 canadian dollars, its good enough. For a rig i use a livingroom chair from the 60's with armrests and built the rig out of it with 40$ of material, its smaller and stronger than most and simple, basic, i reccomend you check it out if you are making your own, but not if you are getting a premade one. (Mine is very small and would fold into a (medium size) closet if needed when not in use. Email me if u want a photo lol, u will laugh. Practical for racing long sessions though! (Verycoldinhere@live.com)
And the youtube channel driver61 is high level racing advise from a man who just joined iracing, deff check it out,
@@Bralph888 My current gear is an old G25 with some MDF wood frame and an old used race car seat. My plan is to replace the whole lot with some more modern gear, I'm going to see if i can get some good used items from ebay. Good luck with your sim racing, I hope you get more Phillip Island wins!
Throw back Thursday
Haha, yess thank you for watching CHAS!
Love me some Phillip Island Circuit...check out my Yamaha YZF-R1 goin full on in a RIDE4...3 Lap race turning to a night finish....intense! just posted it too....
Thanks mate.
Hi, nice video!
It's in the Racetrack Coach App as well! :-)
Oh cool, is this specific video in the app?
@@Bbeavis yes, the app is for preparing for racing and getting to know the track. This video is perfect! :-)
@@flo13boe Oh how interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I'm honored that it is being helpful to others. I wonder if there is some legal thing around using other peoples content in their app.
@@Bbeavis Sure, it is legal - you've uploaded it on RUclips publicly. I'm sorry that you question that.. I though it's a good promotion for your video and helpful for other drivers.
@@flo13boe Now you have me thinking... So, bands upload songs to RUclips publicly, but surely I cannot legally create an app that plays their songs and profits from that?
Thanks so much for this video, I've only just come across it even though I've been going to PI for years now lol. How would you prepare differently for a heavier, higher powered RWD car in comparison? I'd love to understand which parts of my laps I'm losing the most time as I'm probably atleast a few seconds off where the cars potential would be... :)
Thanks Brett. Hard to say how a Commodore would change the approach as my experience is pretty much exclusively the MX-5, logically not a whole lot different I would think. Just a heavier set car with different gearing, but really the lines and approach to each corner should be the same.
@@Bbeavis thanks for that, I'm definitely looking forward to getting out there again soon and working on my lines as from my video below from a while ago where I was doing 1:52.0 I can see some corners I'm turning in too early and impacting my exit line and speed...
ruclips.net/video/EBQYGt9elYk/видео.html
I wanted you to overtake that Porsche so bad lol
Me too hah, sadly there was a shortage of power under the bonnet of my car!
Very well explained.
What car / weight / HP are you using?
In this video, from about 5yrs ago now, the car is my 2001 Mazda MX-5. Around 1000kg and 120hp / 90kw
@@Bbeavis
Wow, 1.50 for a lap is really impressive.
@@EiQ200 Thank you EiQ200, the cars current configuration is ~300hp, and a PB of 1:41.9
Instructions are too confusing, I think I am a car now.
Honestly really good. Would you have gone faster around the corners if the 911 wasn't there? I assume you used it as a reference to show how much faster you were.
+Eden Beavis The Porsche did not slow me down.
Ive been there
Nice :-)
That 911 is shitting itself
I do enjoy keeping 911's on their toes in the MX5.
