Between dynamic weather and tire wear, there's a good bit of casual race strategy at play. I feel they've done a good job at making semi-realistic motorsport racing really fun. It's super fun when it starts to rain mid race and everyone has to slip slide to the pits to get new tires.

second race was really thrilling, having this much battle on the race is extreme levels of fun to me

So I think the thing is that there’s an algorithm that decides how much steering angle you get with the gamepad based on your speed is dialed in to minimize understeer induced by adding too much steering angle. That doesn’t exist for a wheel/pedal setup, you have to do that all on your own. Basically it is as you said, you were overdriving the car.

I find the key to racing online is to drive like Jenson Button. Don't slide, keep everything controlled and use smooth movements to try and preserve your tyres as much as possible. You might be slow at the start, but as the race goes on you'll pick up places from the guys who've wrecked their tyres.

Your tire scrubbing is probably because of the default tune if you didn't look into that at all. Even with no upgrades you should change the tire pressures. I don't know why but on most cars the default tire pressures are at crazy settings like 41psi on the fronts.

I love the constant sarcasm in the commentary through the whole video :D

I'm not sure what every camera angle is like but if you use cockpit or the "driver" view as I believe it's called, looking left and right has you look 90 degrees to that direction. That hood view seems to be a 45 degree look which isn't too helpful. Maybe the driver view would be a better choice for awareness. Also while I agree that the proximity arrows are not the best, the 3 chevrons typically seem to indicate that you will collide with that car if you move over. While 2 and 1, chevron indicates a greater spacing and are clear. Of course the issue is that the indicators don't tell you how far or close the other car is, just that you will collide if you go too far in that direction.

I have had at least 3 experiences where I was driving on a wheel (logitech g920) and I could preserve the tires longer than my friends who play on controller. I had my mediums and hards lasting at last 1.5 more laps than theirs. In one of the races that was even enough to prevent me from pitting at all. I believe you just need to adjust the driving style, breake and steer smoothly, without the tires screeching and they will last longer.

I would very much appreciate a tuning guide from you. I've come across your channel just here in the last few days, and you seem extremely knowledgeable in racing sims/sim-lites. I'm trying out my first legitimate wheel setup as well, and have watched your wheel tuning video several times to dial my settings in, and as of last night, am finally content with them.

Personally i LOVE multiplayer i rarely say that nowadays but it actually feels like a challenge to race on compared to single player. (Obvs) but not because of difficulty its cause of the safety rating compared to GT7 this is WAY better when you go down the safety (A class) then you really wanna be nice and get outta there cause its got the worst people which makes it better to play non dirty and improve i went from S tier safety to A Tier and back to S tier again and it was some of the best racing ever in terms of development of driving and corners to get the best lap and position in qualifying and the main race while Practice you can actually learn the corners and improve on laps Maple valley is a prime example of How you can improve i have 1:30s most of the time now ive improved to 1:28-29 sometimes 1:27 if lucky with improvement to work on along side with cars useful for certain tracks like the Ford GT gt3 best for long straight aways and downforce while some require the acceleration this was also learned by watching other racers drive.. it just works also fuel to weight is great too its noticeable in the final lap hense stocking on fuel early on to get the downforce at the end (optional obvs)

Having to close the entire game because they never thought of putting a cancel button when matchmaking freezes sucks so bad

The first race where your tires wear out is confusing. I never got that close to my tires getting wore like that and never drifted the corners. This game is so much about goofy unrealistic tunes. And figuring out that is a puzzle itself.

The puns have me 😂 Nice video

LOOOOL the first 'cardinal sin, drifting'

Maybe you should try the gamepad since it is an arcade game Ermz. Be funny if you just blow the doors off everyone playing that way. It definitely helps when you have knowledge of the track layout. You proved that in a dominant fashion at Laguna Seca.

Maple syrup levels of sarcasm, absolutely love it.

You are struggling with corner entry understeer because you are using ABS. ABS in this game just straightens the car car severely. Without ABS, you can modulate the brakes for trail braking and tap brakes for rotation, which is especially important in the touring cars so you don't have to overdrive your fronts to turn. You don't have to slide the car, but without ABS its much easier to rotate the car and create the larger slip angles FWD cars need on corner entry. Controllers really don't have an advantage that i've seen on that. Also manual with clutch is faster than straight manual with sequentually gear race transmission cars, and you don't have to use the clutch, except at the start. edit: I realize that ABS wasn't lighting up, but it still has an affect. I noticed immediately how much easier it was to trail brake without ABS. You can brake pretty hard without locking up on high aero racecars, at least with fresh tires. It's pretty easy to feel when you lock up.

I thought Hakone looked like a trash circuit when we saw it in previews, but that "Club" variant is actually pretty great for racing. It's basically ol' switcharoo city.

I know you're nice and busy with your business and other passion projects, but I really miss your content. Always put out the best work in the sim space. Hope you aren't gone for good!

I tried the Civic race last night and must say I absolutely loved the MP format.

Now try laguna with no aero ( lowest aero settings ) and hards tires starting last place. I've been doing that every day having close battles all the time. Very rewarding when you get a win.

Lucky to get it to work , multiplayer won’t work for me , just keeps freezing, and now today the career mode froze , and won’t save

57 seconds is a good lap on Oak Park, my current best with the Honda with a few mods in A class and a lot of laps is a second slower. My first couple of races played out like yours albeit in lower positions and at a slower pace. I think there are ai bots in those early events. Later I was sometimes only against 4 or 5 cars and could get on the podium on tracks that I'd never seen before when matched against my own low skill level. I have got the top S safety rating though, so that's an achievement of sorts.

did you have a tune on it? some tunes can increase tire wear.

So question, how is he throwing the rear end of a front wheel car out and keeping it under control? I feel like when I get her sideways, she just wants to keep going, but he was doing a great job of throwing it out just a bit and never losing control.

You know what is this exciting? Touring cars and IndyCar. Also, IMSA and WEC.

Can you please make a video on how tuning in forza motorsport really works? like not based on actual reallife knowledge and function.

Sad but true, controllers in advantage for being able to change direction faster but driving with steering wheel really fun.

Hood camera is not much ideal considering you were having problems guessing the distance of the other cars near you, if you opted to cockpit/ driver camera that would have solve a lot of your issue since you can have a better field of view thanks to the windows & mirrors( that is my prefer way to play ever since FM3 introduced it and have not & cannot play it any other way lol the experience is way more immersive) and lastly the close or far chase camera even though for me that is a copout/meh way to play lol but overall great video showcase.

Love the sarcasm 😂

Digging the GT Sport menu music at the start

people are forgetting that there isn't any public lobbies, no other game modes like drifting, individual class hoppers etc. the multiplayer feels just has half baked as the career, and is more just a sport mode but with extra races. the only reason people are hyping it so much is because they realise the rest of the game is not good so they need something to save it.

the super GT intro was great 😂

Need to add way more negative camber to front and back so when you lean the car more tyre comes in to contact with the surface.

Was the fov maxed? It can help with surround awareness.

Change the brake bias to 55 rear will help.

So Laguna seca short is in simple terms the late 1960's through the mid 1980's layout just so you know

The Super GT impression is great btw.

I'm on holiday and played multiplayer every day since the release for a few hours and i love the experience. Sadly it's time to go back to work ;( 06:00 your theory is completely wrong. The wheel is superior to the gamepad. You can be much more smooth and save your tires. I win most of my races and 99% of the time my tires are in better condition than my competition. Your mistake is breaking too late and being too aggressive. Break earlier and use trail braking.

Awesome video as usual my good man (just missing a Barry-Ar reference and the shadow realm)🤣🤣 .
