Well… at least you’re getting laps on the board! To overtake, think of it like this, all you need to do is, be along side the car you want to overtake in the braking zone of the corner, on the inside line. So long as you are at least side by side, on the inside, you have the chance to complete the pass, as you’ll be putting them on the outside in the turn, less grip out there, dirty track… OR when on the inside during braking zone, you brake a tiny bit later than them, a tiny bit harder (because later) and complete the pass before the corner. During a race, best practice is to have your “F3 black box” on. This box has the live gap to cars in front and behind.

@TheRealTyphon11 күн бұрын
Forget everything about racing lines for a moment. All that comes with time and experience. Here is one thing I noticed. Smashing and dumping of the brake and the throttle. These two things will give you nightmares lol. When you are braking you are frequently going from 100% straight 0%. This will always induce understeer. The reason behind that is because when you are braking you are shifting the weight of the car onto the nose and lifting the weight off of the rear. This induces what we call oversteer, this is the key ingredient to faster laps. But with what you were doing is the opposite. Now as you brake into a turn slowly start to let off the brake while you are also turning into it. This is what we call trail breaking. What this does is it keeps the weight of the car on the nose giving you a lot more grip on the front tires. This is where the saying comes from, “steer with your feet not your hands.” If you are noticing understeer occurring, either lightly apply a little bit of brake to help get that weight back in the nose while turning into a corner and give a slight lift of the throttle to slow down the weight transferring to the rear on the exit of a corner if it starts to understeer. The key here is to start to only apply the throttle once the car is pointing in the direction you need it to go to make the rest of the corner. So focus on slowly eezing off of the brake turning in, and slowly eezing into the throttle as you’re exiting. Good to see you learning and making progress m8. Looking forward to more.

It's nice for me to see you stopped using the visual aid racing line. Sure it's a hassle having to relearn and developing the feel for a racing line, but don't give up, you WILL get there! It's not rocket science. It really isn't something that needs to be verbalized either. It's pure feel and experience. Seat time WILL get you there eventually :) Also I am highly positive of you increasing the degrees of rotation in your wheel. In my humble opinion, the best thing would be to have true to car degrees of rotation where-ever possible. Don't let the haters get into your head! I enjoyed you exposing one of them and pointing out how that comment is not helpful (you were really nice about it, to me the comment looked like pure toxicity, so respect to how you handled it!) - toxicity in general is not helpful for anyone. During my journey of learning to drive and race (i went into simracing before I even started acquiring my drivers license) I've watched loads of videos and read loads of stuff online aswell. On KZread, Driver61 had some real influence (especiall their playlist called "Everything You Need to be Faster on Track - The Driver's University" - it really has a great order, regarding relevance and proficience). Later on in my journey Dave Cam had some good tips and eventually Suellio Almeida. Going back to that Driver61 playlist - in one of your most recent videos I and others aswell hinted you towards understeering. That might be an issue somewhere more down the line resulted by something more fundamental. I really propose you check out that playlist, watch one video and take your time to ingest the information and practice that specific thing afterwards. Just the way it seems you did in this video regarding understeering. Don't overload yourself with information. take one step at a time, build good fundamentals (it's easier to learn new, good habits than to unlearn bad habits). This comment already feels like I've written half an essay :D Happy racing and learning! :) Hope ER was nothing too serious and you are back to being well :)

as soon as youre removing the racing line , you forget how to stay on the so called racing line. so you're basically cutting the corner again and forgetting to stay out wide, use the width of the track to let you turn easier, stay wide to probably the 100m board then at the 50 let off the brake and turn. just remember to use a flowing motion which will allow for weight distribution and you can corner better from it.

Nice video. Definitely try to start the corner as far left as possible and turn in later. At the angle that you're taking it now you have to slow down to mutch. And for the second part of the cornor, if you see that you start to understeer and are not gonna make it, just let off the throttle. This will shift the weight more to the front tires and give you more grip. As soon as you see you can make the cornor, go on the throttle again.

I am really stoked to see further development in your driving! Wishing you lots of fun on your journey. :) For me it sure was and still is! Colored Ideal Line Not a fan. You mentioned you're gonna turn it of and I fully support this decision. I really think one should not get reliant on the displayed racing line, since it wont be of use in real racing or even rain, when lines change dramatically. It will aid your ability to intuitively find alternate lines when needed. also it will just increase the need for feeling the track, corner, speed (which is hard when being robbed of some senses) but works after some time - atleast for me Understeer There were a couple moments/situations, where you just kept on adding steering angle when you were already understeering (car pushing the fronts). This does not help - when you realize turning the steering more doesnt turn the car more, release some steering angle and give it some brake, like 5% - it will shift the weight of the car towards the fronts, increasing grip and help you with rotation 1:45 just about what you added as brake pressure here - when "that ass swings out there" looks like proper rotation in general. it was just too much rotation for that particular situation which was why you bailed out of it rightly so. Turning in general is done with pedals as well as the steering, steering lets you dictate weight left to right, pedals let you dictate weight to fronts or backs. be smooth with it. mass is sluggish, in some cars more, in some less. What helped me - and still is helping me - is increasing my technical understanding of involved processes. it is easier for me to apply things, if I understand why I have to do so or why it works better than something else

Watch the brake pressure on the left by the gear, fully brake then slowly come off, you started slowing down with like 40% brake pressure.

You're right about not needing to downshift in corners, in the MX5 especially, unless it's a hard hairpin you rarely need to shift into 1st. It's a very short gear so when you're downshifting into it the engine speed is far lower than the gearing wants the engine speed to be, so it slows down the rear wheels very quickly as it speeds up the engine, I hope that makes sense? 2:30

You're definitely getting better from you latest video, but need to get more consistent. Try going slower and slowly build up speed. That way you can learn the braking points. Also I've found try breaking in a straight line so you're not breaking on/in the corner which then throws the car off balance. I've just played a few races of rally cross and has definitely helped me with car control and weight shifting (learning how to make myself oversteer and understeer) which has helped when going back into the MX5

Also, check Field of View settings, should be somewhere in the 60-70 range for correct perspective. There is some info about this on the forum. Steering should be 1 to 1 with your real-world steering wheel rotation.
Yeah i think I have it all sorted out now it wasn't prior
Your last lap turn two was good, good line, not too slow (as far as I can tell without seeing speed), turn one could have been a little faster but otherwise pretty good, rest looked good. Racing with others on track will help see where you’re losing time in future.
You’re trail braking! Well done
AYYY thanks I wasn't 100% sure yet but everything felt a lot better!
@@JusSin69 Things looking good.
Looking really good from your first video 👌
Thank you 😁
Ypur litrally going straight into the apex stay on the right flr longer then turn more into the apex see if j can turn racing line on
Doing great 👌 definitely can see an improvement. Keep learning the mechanics and youll be under 1 minute in no time For the 1st corner try keeping the left and turning in a later. try keep left until youre under the bridge. Once under the bridge start turning in. Brake leading up the bridge
Forget everything about racing lines for a moment. All that comes with time and experience. Here is one thing I noticed. Smashing and dumping of the brake and the throttle. These two things will give you nightmares lol. When you are braking you are frequently going from 100% straight 0%. This will always induce understeer. The reason behind that is because when you are braking you are shifting the weight of the car onto the nose and lifting the weight off of the rear. This induces what we call oversteer, this is the key ingredient to faster laps. But with what you were doing is the opposite. Now as you brake into a turn slowly start to let off the brake while you are also turning into it. This is what we call trail breaking. What this does is it keeps the weight of the car on the nose giving you a lot more grip on the front tires. This is where the saying comes from, “steer with your feet not your hands.” If you are noticing understeer occurring, either lightly apply a little bit of brake to help get that weight back in the nose while turning into a corner and give a slight lift of the throttle to slow down the weight transferring to the rear on the exit of a corner if it starts to understeer. The key here is to start to only apply the throttle once the car is pointing in the direction you need it to go to make the rest of the corner. So focus on slowly eezing off of the brake turning in, and slowly eezing into the throttle as you’re exiting. Good to see you learning and making progress m8. Looking forward to more.
Thank you I will try and be softer on the pedals. They move around a lot on me and I think I'm being limited by trying not to move around too much physically. I am starting to look into a fold able cockpit lol
@@JusSin69 highly recommend getting a cockpit for sure. Will definitely improve your consistency.
It's nice for me to see you stopped using the visual aid racing line. Sure it's a hassle having to relearn and developing the feel for a racing line, but don't give up, you WILL get there! It's not rocket science. It really isn't something that needs to be verbalized either. It's pure feel and experience. Seat time WILL get you there eventually :) Also I am highly positive of you increasing the degrees of rotation in your wheel. In my humble opinion, the best thing would be to have true to car degrees of rotation where-ever possible. Don't let the haters get into your head! I enjoyed you exposing one of them and pointing out how that comment is not helpful (you were really nice about it, to me the comment looked like pure toxicity, so respect to how you handled it!) - toxicity in general is not helpful for anyone. During my journey of learning to drive and race (i went into simracing before I even started acquiring my drivers license) I've watched loads of videos and read loads of stuff online aswell. On KZread, Driver61 had some real influence (especiall their playlist called "Everything You Need to be Faster on Track - The Driver's University" - it really has a great order, regarding relevance and proficience). Later on in my journey Dave Cam had some good tips and eventually Suellio Almeida. Going back to that Driver61 playlist - in one of your most recent videos I and others aswell hinted you towards understeering. That might be an issue somewhere more down the line resulted by something more fundamental. I really propose you check out that playlist, watch one video and take your time to ingest the information and practice that specific thing afterwards. Just the way it seems you did in this video regarding understeering. Don't overload yourself with information. take one step at a time, build good fundamentals (it's easier to learn new, good habits than to unlearn bad habits). This comment already feels like I've written half an essay :D Happy racing and learning! :) Hope ER was nothing too serious and you are back to being well :)
Thank you so much!
Open up the corner you’re turning in too early.
as soon as youre removing the racing line , you forget how to stay on the so called racing line. so you're basically cutting the corner again and forgetting to stay out wide, use the width of the track to let you turn easier, stay wide to probably the 100m board then at the 50 let off the brake and turn. just remember to use a flowing motion which will allow for weight distribution and you can corner better from it.
Thanks I need to relearn without the line I will try and drill in the wider angle!
Nice video. Definitely try to start the corner as far left as possible and turn in later. At the angle that you're taking it now you have to slow down to mutch. And for the second part of the cornor, if you see that you start to understeer and are not gonna make it, just let off the throttle. This will shift the weight more to the front tires and give you more grip. As soon as you see you can make the cornor, go on the throttle again.
Thank you I will try that!
Oh no I’m under steering let’s hit the throttle 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
You're definitely improving 👍👌 The last corner that brings you onto the start/finish straight you can keep the throttle pinned Im currently in the mx5 as only bought iRacing the other day. But I've noticed if you need to downshift mid corner you can when the rev get to around 2500-3000 rpm. Any higher and the car spins
I'll try that next time thank you!
Turning too much whilst having too much speed causes understeer... you'll basically just go straight
I am really stoked to see further development in your driving! Wishing you lots of fun on your journey. :) For me it sure was and still is! Colored Ideal Line Not a fan. You mentioned you're gonna turn it of and I fully support this decision. I really think one should not get reliant on the displayed racing line, since it wont be of use in real racing or even rain, when lines change dramatically. It will aid your ability to intuitively find alternate lines when needed. also it will just increase the need for feeling the track, corner, speed (which is hard when being robbed of some senses) but works after some time - atleast for me Understeer There were a couple moments/situations, where you just kept on adding steering angle when you were already understeering (car pushing the fronts). This does not help - when you realize turning the steering more doesnt turn the car more, release some steering angle and give it some brake, like 5% - it will shift the weight of the car towards the fronts, increasing grip and help you with rotation 1:45 just about what you added as brake pressure here - when "that ass swings out there" looks like proper rotation in general. it was just too much rotation for that particular situation which was why you bailed out of it rightly so. Turning in general is done with pedals as well as the steering, steering lets you dictate weight left to right, pedals let you dictate weight to fronts or backs. be smooth with it. mass is sluggish, in some cars more, in some less. What helped me - and still is helping me - is increasing my technical understanding of involved processes. it is easier for me to apply things, if I understand why I have to do so or why it works better than something else
I'm so working on this thank you so much for the comment. I did some laps without the racing kind and a wider fov so I can see more of the track and it felt like square one but ill figure it out I'm sure!
Try online practice sessions before jumping into a race. watch other drivers (i like nose cam to see the lines), listen for gear changes. Start slow. Slow is smooth. dont mind being too slow in a corner. Looks like you're still a rookie. Get the fundamentals down. a feeling for the sim. Again. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Dont rush things. Take your time. Also my respect for posting - I will follow and am happy to follow your journey
Thank you very much. Also thank you for the comment I am genuinely trying but I have 0 sim experience so it's been hard but fun. I got good laps in and have started without the racing line and it feels like restarting but I'm trying
@@JusSin69 Much love man! Please, under any circumstance - never forget to have fun doing this! :)
Just rewind 🤦🏾♂️
Would you say it feels “odd or unremarkable”!?!?
Odd
@@JusSin69 hype, you should watch any austin
You jumped off the brakes and you lost your steering as the weight shifted to the rear. Keep plugging
hey man, keep it up. Try slow laps, and steadely increase the speed. 1e goal, get 5 tot 10 slow laps in even if they are 6 minutes a lap 2nd, increase speed slowly. 3e get a feel for the car. Remember, 1st day you where driving a real car you were not racing it around a track. Build skill, else you just keep f'ing up with no clue why. I feel like you get to the corner and its like when you first take an intercection to many things to watch for. Learn to shift, brake, ... spinn out alot and try to figure out why, watch the replays, and watch youre inputs. You will figure it out!
Thanks I appreciate it! I actually just put out another yesterday with a HUGE improvement and could make it around the track!
First time watching, up that FOV to get a full view and look through the corner. Keep your eyes where you want to go don’t look at the wheel or right infront of the car, instinctively you’ll make the car go there.
I didn't even think of that thank you I will check the setting. Appreciate it!
In turn 1 you tend to ondersteer and you keep turning the wheel 3:00. The moment you lose grip in the front you shoul use a little les steering angle. It is faster to use a little les angle but keep grip.
I'll try that thank you!
hey man, make sure you get the car properly slowed down before the corner, then turn, then power out, remember slow in fast out. the reason the first turn was giving you so many problems is you were coming in with too much speed so mid corner the car was understeering (going wide)so then you had to turn more to stay on line and the car gets away from you. Watch the brake pressure on the left by the gear, fully brake then slowly come off, you started slowing down with like 40% brake pressure. Bare in mind my game of choice isnt iRacing so how much my knowledge applies wont be 100% so iRacing gurus please correct what i've said if it doesn't apply to iRacing specifically
thank you!
I noticed you tend to overcorrect a lot. Try moving your wheel less now. The less you have to turn the wheel the better. And if you find yourself needing to turn wide to reach the kerbs on exit that means that you can take more speed through the corner or be more aggressive on the throttle at the apex. Also, if i remember correctly i think the last downhill turn you can take flat out.
yeah I think I need to fix wheel settings because i think my degrees of turn are really low or something gonna check it out tomorrow.
@@JusSin69 Road Cars usually have 900° wheel rotation while formula cars have 320° at most. You can change the setting in general or individualy in every car
If you watch any sort of irl racing they use as much of the track as possible especially on a hot lap which you're attempting at doing here. You now have a good lap time tor you, now its just about being smooth, linking laps together and becoming consistent, e.g aiming for your lap times to be within 0.4 of eachother.
Thanks again you really helped!
Thats exactly how i feel im new to sim racing and sometimes if i take 1 or 2 days off due to being just too tired after work. Whenever i have time to play and get back into it i literally have to grind out a few hrs just to remember how the Mx-5 feels around the track.
You need to be a lot more smooth when turning and not jerk the wheel, that will upset balance...just one smooth motion. Practice the track at like 40% speed and pay attention to those race lines and their colors while practicing. Doing races at the level you're at I wouldn't recommend as you'll have an increasingly hard time getting out of rookies especially if you can't yet stay behind the pace car (no offense meant).
no offense taken thank you for the comment!
you seem to turn in too early and effectively cut the corner, if you stay wide on entry and try to open the track up you might find it easier to turn.
Thank you! gonna try more practice today
I tried this today and shaved 6 seconds off my best and can make it actually around the track it actually was a night and day difference trying wider entries THANK YOU!
@@JusSin69 try watching jimmy broadbent or supergt if youre struggling with racing techniques like that.
You're right about not needing to downshift in corners, in the MX5 especially, unless it's a hard hairpin you rarely need to shift into 1st. It's a very short gear so when you're downshifting into it the engine speed is far lower than the gearing wants the engine speed to be, so it slows down the rear wheels very quickly as it speeds up the engine, I hope that makes sense? 2:30
Thank you I appreciate it! It's makes sense
The money shifting was god 😂🙏
You're definitely getting better from you latest video, but need to get more consistent. Try going slower and slowly build up speed. That way you can learn the braking points. Also I've found try breaking in a straight line so you're not breaking on/in the corner which then throws the car off balance. I've just played a few races of rally cross and has definitely helped me with car control and weight shifting (learning how to make myself oversteer and understeer) which has helped when going back into the MX5
Thank you for the comment, yeah next session I'm gonna try to just slow way down and try and improve my legal work
