Finally someone that agrees that single monitor is not always easy for seeing the sided or blind apexes. Thanks Dave for referring to my pain haha

Get a TrackIR or VR so you can look into the apex with your head, works a treat for me.

I practice this in real life,(truck driver). I use references on my Sim Car in the same way. With everything else going on at speed with these cars, knowing where your wheels are without thinking about it is always a plus. Thanks Dave

I love this style of vid Dave. No waffling, just an easy to understand, simple video that explains something a lot of people miss.

Easy to digest series, keep 'em coming Dave.

Very helpful advice for people like myself who only have a single monitor. Thanks Dave👍🏼

Dave please continue these tip videos. Apex speed is something I struggle with because I brake too late. Thanks for giving me something to practice.

Great video Dave! Another thing to add to the topic is that keeping momentum becomes even more important in low power / heavier cars, because it takes longer to regain the speed that was lost.

Dave can you do a vid on staying calm under pressure? I've had 3 poles as Daytona this week and spun each time. It's a regular problem for me when I'm in the lead 👎🏻

Kinda similar to my experience. I have zero problems chasing someone. Less than half a second, lap after lap, no mistake, even with him blocking some of my vision. As soon as I overtake I start messing up xD

You may find a bit of help with some basic mindfulness and meditation techniques. It doesn't have to be super serious, I have wicked ADHD and something like just bringing my mind back to my body to focus on my breathing first always, fast or slow, then what I am feeling, seeing & hearing, it clears my busy mind. It does it well, in addition to calming me and it's not something I do very much outside of racing. But the brain can be trained just like any other part of your body so while maybe it's not for everyone, I wish you a good win man!

Using dash markers to know how far is off track is something I don't do, fantastic tip!

I love this series Dave, thank you, straight to the point and very usefull, never really thought of using the dashboard as a reference point, will definitely use this in the future.

What you said about using all the track is very true. I got some coaching recently and shaved over a second off my PB at misano mainly from the coach showing me just how much of the kerbs you could cut. Just uploaded a video from the coaching session if anyone wants to see exactly what I mean

Track limits are the biggest thing so many drivers dont make full use of. I help run a decent sized rookie league here in Australia and it's the biggest tip I can give to finding extra speed and time. Find exactly where the track limit warning are and drive to them, dont just focus on the white lines because more often than not there's an extra 1-3 metres on offer inside and outside and that's huge in terms of carrying additional speed. Misano and Spa in ACC are two of the biggest ones for free laptime just using the entire track until the game says no.

Appreciate the teaching here. You have a lot of experience and its nice to let it be passed on. Keep 'em coming.

After several paid coaching sessions, I still get some of my BEST coaching from you Dave!!! 100% Thanks Mate!

thanks Dave for this amazing series, simple , direct and great tips!

Dave, this is just what I needed to hear, I knew the concept but never applied on track, thanks so much Dave

Thanks Dave..pls keep these sim racing tips going.. Very helpful for a lot of us!👍

Amazing information thank you, something so simple which I had never thought of, I will be definitely using this drill in my next practice. Keep it coming 👍

Excellent video Dave! Thanks for sharing w us!

Such a simple tip that I did not think of it :-). These kind of tips is what a beginner needs. Thanks Dave !

Good clean explanation. It also touches on the proper line and taking the widest line possible. Radius = Speed. Thanks for the content.

I’ve just gotten into iRacing (used your referral 😊) and these videos are extremely helpful! Thanks Dave

great driving and now these series 🙂like your driving style for some time now. Maybe you could share some tips and tricks how to get to right tire pressure all around from scratch on a track you have never driven before. Thanx and keep it up Dave!

Thanks Dave, simple when you think about it. I will now check on the cars I drive to see how far I was from the edges and how much more I could go.

Thankyou these short videos are brilliant, changing my brake bias T1 Monza saved me two tenths

Good stuff Dave. Thanks!

Great advice here actually! Thank you

Hi Dave as usual another good informative video. I know it will be more than 5 minutes but I struggle to learn new tracks, would love to see you do a video on this.

I've discovered I often use all the track on turn in but fail to use all of the apex, really great tip!!

Please make a video about watching the relative when rejoining. Lots of people seem to rejoin right in front of you.

great stuff Dave

Hooray for actionable advice! 👍

Great video again. What you can do if you’re always driving the same car and you are on a single screen. Put some markings on the bottom of the screen where the edges of the car is.

We need a video on safe legal blocking and good take overs. Illegal blocks and not giving the other driver safe overtaking room are what I see a lot. That my be why people are so used to punting now. I know I've wanted to punt a few ass hats myself mate.

Suggestion - a vid about the concertina effect at corners and how distance to the vehicles in front and behind you changes with speed.

Thanks this was great! Something on managing tire temps / degradation + track degradation over the whole race would be super helpful

Your a ROCKSTAR keep it up 😎

Reference car on track was excellent thank you.

Nice tip sir. Something I'd like to learn more about is lines, eg early apex vs late apex. Cheers

Tips on letting quicker people by in stead of fighting for position with 15 minutes to go and losing much ground on the leaders .

as a beginner this seems like an awesome tip for how simple it is, thanks

Thanks for these videos! Do you have one on trail braking, specifically ACC?

Another way to simplify this would be, Car go faster in a straight line, and, Opening the corner up at the entry = going straighter.

Great Vids Dave , another question I have is proper gear selection in and out of corners, I also c that u short shift sometimes

Great video Dave! Can you give some tips on avoiding incidents, increasing irating fast on iracing. I’m on single monitor is it better with triple screens?

These are so good! can you do a video on why exactly I am still 3 seconds slower than everyone else? That would be really helpful 😂

Any tips about being as consistent as possible would be awesome. That’s my biggest hurdle rn

I'm doing even quicker series now - like under your videos under 5 seconds. Cheers!

Good tip!

Spot on Dave. And of course it's also worth remembering that you will lose momentum if you have to defend the inside line on corner entry. Sometimes it's better to let the other guy dive down the inside and compromise his entry and lose momentum then pass him again on the exit.

I usually use some overlays as a border of being on the track

Hi dave great idea for this series Any chance of a demo of trail breaking

I KNOW I don’t use all the track because I have a horrible tendency to brake on the grass. I take weird lines all the time. Never thought of this though. Cheers, Dave

I had this problem last night. I am chasing someone down right on their bumper loads of pressure forcing them to make a mistake and then I finally get infront of them and then they do the same to me only this time I cost me and the guy behind me enough time for the pack behind us to catch up. And almost go from 2nd to 4th.

Excellent

Any tips on how to developing feel for how to stop braking to make sure that car wasn't overslowed for the corner. As in how to judge how much speed to take into corner, so amount of braking is not higher than required. I guess it ties in momentum with understeer and using whole track. Though not slowing more than we need to for the corner is more indicative of preserving the momentum in my opinion.

I don't know if there's a one-size-fits-all for this, but I struggle with when to use engine braking versus when to just stomp on the brakes and let the car slow that way

Can you add a video on where to look. I find myself focused on the short term view and need to look further down the track

Some tips on how to defend and how to overtake fair and safe

one thing I find hard to follow, is on those twisty or big weight transfer left/right or right/left corners where you have to make a quick dash to the outside track to get the best out of the corner.

Paul Ricard I absolutely hate that track. The slow winding corners so difficult to maintain momentum.

fortunately in VR its so natural its not something i ever have to think about.

For the next one could you do overtaking?

great video, Dave! I am struggling with braking too much and I don't know how to correct it. I know I should maintain greater apex speed, I'm using all the track, but I stay too much on the brakes. Any suggestion?
