It is also very important to fix your sitting position to not have any gap on your back with the seat for proper muscle and organ support. Especially in braking the lower back muscles and spleen take a shit ton of load forces so it is a bit dangerous too. When you brake you must feel the force load below hips zone and never on your knees. Some may think this is a joke but its not. Its serious and it can cause damage and besides that you do lose very precious time in the braking zones. So thats wrong things 😆 Very nice and valuable information man. Not many people talk about this stuff and these are the most important ones.

I actually never thought much about that. I'm usually a very smooth driver, I'm very conservative with tires and most racing games give me a lot of points for consistency, car control and safety because I'm very safe. I'm slow but consistent so I find I lose a lot of time, sometimes 1-2sec in the same spec cars, using the same braking points, most likely because I'm not that aggressive on the brake. I also never see people talk much about this, but some people are very lazy turning the wheel, they understeer a lot because they are not turning the wheel enough. Thanks for this, later today i'm going to test this out about the brakes

Precious information, superb content production!

After watching this video I finally got the motivation to adjust my pedal deck positioning and tighten everything down. The best free upgrade I've done, making my CSL Elite LC pedals feel refreshed. Have a good weekend mate :)

I raced on a G29 for 6 years and hade some top times in timetrial and was generally quite fast. However after changing to simucube, simlab, sprints I did not really get faster. Sure sometimes more consistent but not faster. I had such a muscle memory for how much I had to push my pedals on the G29, with that said its probably easier to find that memory on my sprints.

This is precisely why I plan to learn with used high end equipment instead of new budget stuff. Start with budget stuff and the skills you learn with it are almost completely thrown away the minute you upgrade Learn with proper equipment and you can take what you learn with you regardless of what equipment you get in the future (Note that this only applies to equipment dependent industries like aviation or racing where learning specificity to control surfaces is high)

I found they ware hitting 100% input faster then me and I was thinking about maybe reflection time ! After weeks of different experiments nothing helped! Then I found how much faster am I with short clutch in H-shifting cars , more then 0.3 sec per 1.30min lap and was thinking what if my brake is too long 🤔 Then I see my body movements and got even harness belt to make sure I’m sitting correctly in the seat ! With all those tweaks and proper adjustments on the pedal hardness and position I found better control and achieve those impossible braking points!

I sucked when I got fanatec pedals for the first few months. One thing that really helped me was stiffening up the preload screw on the brake pedal because I found that I was breaking harder than the pro drivers did. So by stiffing the preload screw you're raising the zero percent pressure of the brake.

Good advice, thank you.

Great video (again!). Just one thing: that part with "lean the seat as much as your brackets allow" along with "pedals too low". These things are the same equation. I use rally position, and usually there is quite big drop between seat bottom rest and pedals - which is equalized with really upright backrest, so the angle stays the same. In real cars.

Fantastic Video. I Hope Black Friday is a good time for some simrace stuff 🤗

Great tips as usual. Never associated body movements to late brakes and wondering how others can brake later than me and still stop the car. Also checked the telemetry and I realized I do not press totally the brake, since I set it too hard (90kg). By the way, I just come back from vacation and after 1h on the rig I had a terrible backache. Sure I need to setup correctly the brakes vs seat position and fill my lombar gap. Thanks.

@chepilevski

2 жыл бұрын

It makes huge difference indeed and you are right! I was in the same situation ware I was using 85-90% of my brakes and wen I found that I was surprised! It also makes huge difference on how you set the pedals relatively to your support position and 90kg feels very different if the pedals are too low relatively to the support! I always suggest hard pedal and short distance for better speed on the inputs but that can be harsh on long distance races ass well as driving 20min race is fine but going on 1.5h stint can be painful!
