Good idea for a new series. If you're taking sugestions, you might look at lift and coast before the breaking zones and when you might want to use it. Following another car closely, driving in a pack, fuel saving, etc..

As you are taking suggestions - a down shifting video would be good. I.e. speed of down shifting for different cars or corners. Taking an extra gear at the apex to help rotation.

Yes. Please. I need a lot of help on shifting of all types. When it’s best to shift up, how to downshift, comparisons of vehicle types. Thanks!

Dave! Love this, thank you, definately need a series like this. Love the content as always chap

Great, great video, short and simple. Love it!

It took me a long time to get to grips with brake bias, but thanks to one of you earlier videos it finally dawned on me how it worked. I'm sure this is going to be a great series of videos for us all to learn something from. Keep up the good work Dave.

Great video Dave and thanks for doing it! I’m always trying to learn and get better. You’re videos are very helpful to a new comer like me.

Fantastic explanation of brake bias. Right pace, right amount of detail, nice and easy to remember. Thank you Dave. :)

Great idea for a series. Good tip. Appreciate it

Thanks for the tips. Precious tips! Sometimes is up to your driving style , practice is always the key. Can’t wait for the next tips. 🙏🏻

Great idea for a series Dave, a biggie is suspension and setups, that a lot of the time is the big mystery for most... Thanks for sharing!

This is always helpful for everyone, thanks a lot Dave for sharing your knowledge and tips.

Great series idea - can’t wait to see more!

Great video, and the video examples were spot on. A lot of times users can confuse a Brake Balance issue with a DIFF issue. Thanks for helping us all out !

great stuff, thanks Dave

This looks good Dave. I better ding the bell

Thanks for the tips Dave. Great videos

Brilliant mate, appreciate your time 👍

Thank you Dave! This was really helpful for a newbie like me

Yup love this Dave. Approaching a corner and throttle control on apex would help a lot of people.

Dave, Awesome Idea. I love it.

Great idea for a series Dave. Being still fairly new to iRacing tips and tricks to help become better in the sim is most helpful. I have always wondered what the bias % should be. Different games I have played in the past have different ways of handling it with some being a higher % being more to rear etc. So to know how it is applied in iRacing will certainly help. Interesting that you have it closer to 50% but I guess it depends on the braking capabilities of each car but I will definitely have more of a play around with it in each car to see what is ideal for them all and then fine tune per track.

wow thats a great idea Dave love the concept :D

Love it! Look forward to the series. Would be interested in tips on outlap before qualy, if any :)

Love the idea of straight to the point. As for ideas,we’ll I struggle with nearly all set ups,but diffs baffle me.👍🏻

This video was very simple but very helpful. Thank you and look forward to upcoming videos. Really enjoy your channel.

Great idea for a series.

As a Veteran, albeit casual sim racer, I've never really thought about changing the brake bias during a lap. I might try it out on some time attacks this week. Always something new to learn.

Great series idea! Would love to see one on the use of Traction Control. I have recently started experimenting a little more with changing TC in a lap, particularly quali laps. A good example would be Suzuka where I tend to run a higher TC for most of the lap but decrease it for the hairpin to get a better exit.

Im going love these lil vids

Great idea, will watch them

Top man thanks for the tip.Short and sweet and not comppicating things like alot of presenters. Im an above areage sim driver and want to get a better dr and faster lap times. Youve helped me understand break bias alot better now. More tips my friend .. Keep em coming!

You're welcome mate. KZread is so full of waffle 😁

Overtaking tips, especially in braking zones, would be great. For example, how to complete a overtake safely on the inside vs outside for certain types of corners.

Great idea! Keen to see brake bias in practice. Eg hockenheim hairpin, Imola T1 or other examples of heavy braking zones still requiring trail braking. Keen to see your initial brake pressure, any overlap with accelerator etc

Brilliant this has taught me a lot thanks

Great video don’t forget if u make it to low and u push on those brakes u will spin but yes practice will help! I do a lot of oval and I like to run mine low to help me turn around the banking

Great advice Jim

Nice video, I learned something here.

Good content mate. As a 2.7k iRacer I’m sure I can find some good tips in this series

This series is fantastic !! I want to get my dad into sim racing and I reckon this series will be just great for his 50 year old self with little gaming experience and certainly no racing experience lol

Great video and easy to understand explanation. I think a topic I would like to see is tips for overtaking/staying close to the car in front of you without rear ending them.

Love the video idea, keep it up. Topic suggestion, saving tyres.

This is great Dave! Thanks for sharing the difference in Brake Bias. Could you go over some suspension tuning as well? I know it's a rabbit hole but could be a few episodes.

Very helpful 👍🏼

Good idea for a series. I'd suggest, "Coast or brake? What to do when."

Great video Dave! Look forward to more! Can we get one on Dampers in ACC?

Nice explained👍

Race starts! Both rolling and standing. General principles/rules, as well as perhaps some specific applications.

Love IT!

Great video. Thanks for sharing! How about one on shifting?

Thanks Dave! A video on how to properly rotate the car would be helpful.

These videos can be really useful

Great idea Dave! I would like to see a video discussing how you get „rotation“ and slip angle out of a car. How do you get a feel for it?

roll bar adjustment 👍🏼

good one Dave. suggestion: How to make hardware adjustments. For example pedal tension, steering angle, seat height, etc. With an aim of course towards optimal performance.

very good thanks

@dave cam racing without the racing line on. It is the biggest challenge for me. I only use it for judging my brake timing. But it would be a good one for the series.

Awesome 👌

Great video Dave as always - I'd like to know where you allocate the Brake Bias on your wheel to make it easy to change while racing. it could actually be a topic to cover, how you configure your buttons on wheel for iRacing or ACC to make it ergonomic and practical

This!

Honestly when i drove the porsche 718 gt4 on fuji and this week on Okayama i just raise the brake bias by 2 percent and find the car way more agresive and rapid and honestly way easier to drive

I would love to hear you talk about vision and where you look when.

Good video. Can you next explain what differential settings do. ik its something about wheel rotation but idk why its so important and why it needs to be adjusted sometimes

Good idea. Maybe something about the cars GT4, GT3, GTE. I mean the driving still, and it a person is driving in a special way which car will be best. The Porsche for example have a special still and so on.

I would love some tips on how you go about racing very close to other cars. For example, one of my big problems is when I'm right behind someone going into a braking zone. They reach the braking point first, and sometimes brake harder than I do, which causes me to react by braking harder or in some cases tapping their bumper.

Thanks Dave, great idea!!!! Two questions, 1) any thoughts on differences between front engine and mid/rear engine in regards to brake bias? On mid/rear engine cars, I tend to use much more rear brake (48-52) but on front end, I tend to run more front (52-58). 2) I rarely change bb mid race, but i know that costs me some time....I run in VR and it's tough to be able to get it dialed in from the wheel.....did you make macro's (honestly, this may be a dumb question....I dont know if you can macro bb changes) to do a quick switch, or do you just roll it to each setting?

I’d like to see something on steering input and tips to minimize it while maintaining a decent cornering speed. I tend either to use more steering input than better drivers or to over slow the car.

Bloody marvelous idea Dave. Please show us how you set up your brake pedal. I noticed you can smash your brake pedal with 100% input but you never lock up...is it magic??? My new P2000's lock up at 70% :(

How about videos on controller setup? How you setup the wheel to feel right to you, what buttons are most important to have mapped correctly on the wheel, pedal stiffness and ABS, etc. Not looking for explicit settings for specific controls, but the PROCESS of how to dial those in and what is important, and what’s a distraction, for real racing.

I would like your thoughts on how you approach braking and throttle depending on elevation.

Advice on how to get a decent consistent standing start, perhaps different advice depending on the tech.

Could you make a video on how to make setups on iracing? what all small tweaks do and when to apply them

I'm lookin' forward for more of these tips. Good suggestions in the comments for future tips. I'll add one suggestion myself. And that would be for ride heights and front aero variation. Specifically, the initial setup and consideration for changes as the fuel load decreases. Thanks Dave!

Springs / Dampeners video would be great

Thanks Dave! Just off the BB settings you mentioned I picked up lap time in the Ferrari at Daytona and the Porsche at RA. I never considered moving the BB more than a few clicks rearward. Are you moving the BB considerably on the VRS and Craigs setups? Cheers.

@davecamm

Жыл бұрын

Yes I still move things around. Probably more towards the front at times just to keep me on track 😁

Would be nice to see with the RH at speed at front and rear in combination with wing degree

I am still looking for a good brake bias video. I have seen several ones and I picked up pieces of knowledge from them, but I am yet to find one, where it really makes sense for me. This one is a bit too brief for me to paint a good picture on how it actualy works. Good idea though as in AC this is one of the few things that you are allowed to change on the fly in wider range of cars. I know what to do with TC, but brake bias is still a bit too abstract for me to really know how to differentiate the feel of its effects from other stuff.

@davecamm

Жыл бұрын

Not one setting works for everyone. It's all about how you feel when driving and how smooth your inputs are. Just do some practice, and use 55% bias then move it back to 50% that should give you a good indication as to what it feels like. More trail braking, the higher the number 😁

Any tips on eliminating throttle and brake crossover Dave? I remember you had an issue with that a while back, don’t know if you ever learnt how to fix it. I do the same thing

Good to talk about BBias, because a lot of people dont use it at all, but dont give people bad habits to change it a lot during the race, we dont change it per corner. You need to find one steady BBias for the lap and during the race You steadily increase/decrease it, because of burned fuel and changed car balance; or to fix bad habits while braking and cooking tyres.

@@davecamm Its not about me, its about the message you are sending to others. Im very happy that you trying to educate the community, dont get me wrong. But I dont like the one important part of it. If we take for example Max B. or other top iRacing drivers, they never change BBias per corner basis. First of all it removes focus from driving for drivers who needs to understand it, second it doesnt solve bad driving habits, just hides it. I just dont want You to accidently encourage people to have other bad habits. But please do speak about BBias, I think you had already a better video about it.

@davecamm

Жыл бұрын

I talked about me making one adjustment per lap at Daytona for obvious reasons. Some drivers do make multiple changes per lap. Just because max doesn't doesn't make it wrong. People will do what they are comfortable with, multiple changes or set and forget. This is all about letting people know what it does and try it out in practice.

Good information here. Now I just need to go use it instead of watching videos! Thanks for the content.

Thx for the tips, at 1:14 you're saying that with the porsche on a long straight braking zone you would even go to 48% bb and stating that with more load on the front tires it would balance itself. I'm not sure it would work this way, in my mind while breaking the rear will lift and loose some load on the tires therefore if you have more breaking power on the rear you would lock up earlier while the front tires could probably take more breaking power because of the weight balance during breaking. Am I right thinking that or is there something else I'm not seing ? (Maybe because it's a rear engine car then the balance is right ?)

@davecamm

Жыл бұрын

It doesn't balance itself, I was trying to simplify. Meaning the front will still compress due to the heavy braking but not as much as the bias is rearward.

What’s your monitor angle ? was it 50 or 60 degrees ?

You speak plain speak... We like it.. ty :)

Great video. I just joined iRacing and I’m doing the Porsche Cup fixed. I don’t even know if brake bias can be changed on a fixed series (I think it can)? I kind of don’t want to over complicate things and set and forget for now, but I also want to get the most out of the car.

Yes, Rover. The BB can be adjusted. Go into the UI, Options, look for the BB on how it is set via keyboard shortcuts ("-" & "=", I think?). Map that to two buttons on your wheel (Left side) and go for it in practice.
