That is an interesting topic. I have some troubles/inconsistencies with that. As an example, being dutch, I like to drive on Zandvoort on AC. It's a technical circuit and I screw up the following two corners mostly: turn 4 and 10. The first one now being banked (not on the original AC circuit), leading up to the fast section to the dunes. The second one exiting into the mid-circuit DRS section. I treat the first corner as a double apex and try to get a late apex on the other corner. Both of them are part throttle mostly, but I don't feel I do it well. Missing 0.109 seconds for gold medal with Lotus 49. I would like to hear more info on your suggested coasting and part throttle from Scott.

Lmao

I like how you thought that was funny 👀

@@martint8986 i like how some people have no sense of humor

@@rubenvanalphen2780 max verstappen being one of them 🤔😉

@@martint8986 what do you mean, he is in the fucking hospital (edit: was)

They already do this, you should be able to find more info on their site, they can do live race engineer and also pre-race setup help etc.

Next level idea: teach an AI to do that

Space engineers. You drill the rock to get the wood You get the wood to build the cabin

Yes! Me too!

Same.. but i end up braking earlier yet people brake much later than me having better stopping distance... 2ndly.. often found out releasing the brake timing is crutial... I gained alot if able to see where i could release my braking earlier than i usually did on specific corners compared to the other guy

Every one charges for time this isn’t a new thing

@@chiefbrody3406 Trying to charge money for something you supposedly do for fun is a miserable thing to do and absolutely not how things used to be. All the e-begging services available today have poisoned the way people in hobbyist circles interact with each other. Where you used to have people happy to find others with the same interests and happy to share their knowledge and creations, now you get a bunch of cutthroats thinking only about how best to monetize everything they do. Fortunately not everyone is like that, but it is a far cry from the "olden" days.

Glad to hear it mate! Let me know any other topics that you would like covered and I'll do my best.

1. Slow down. It doesn't have to be a lot but .5 seconds per lap will do a lot to save your tires for later in the race. Just lift a little before your braking marker and brake early. It doesn't work if you are battling but if you are running a few seconds behind someone and a few seconds ahead of the next car you can safely save your tires. In high speed full throttle corners you would be amazed at what a little bit of a lift can do to save your tires 40 minutes down the road if you do it every lap. It can be just quick lift off/on that is as fast as the blink of an eye and your tires will still benefit from it. A partial lift helps. Just because you CAN take if full throttle it doesn't mean you should. 2. Be smooth, don't jerk the wheel going into a corner and hope for the best. Do some practice laps and find the fastest line that puts the least amount of energy into the tires without slowing you down a lot compared to your normal lap time. When you are in the corner trying to find the point where it's best for lap times and tires to get back on the throttle remember you don't have to immediately slam your foot all the way down. That throttle pedal goes from 0% to 100% and that means you can apply it anywhere in between. It works for pro drivers in endurance races, it will work for you as well. If you are putting less energy into the tires that correlates to also taking less life (performance) out of the tires with each lap. Smooth and easy driving will keep the life in your tires a lot longer than trying to run qualifying laps for an entire 90+ minute race. You drive at the edge of performance during qualifying and in race only when battling for position. If you are running alone in an endurance race and feel like you are pushing as hard as you can you are way overdriving the car for a long race. Just take it easy and match the lap times. You will learn what you can do to make up time without eating the tires it just takes a lot of time and experience to do it. Most drivers who start enduro racing after running tons of short sprint type races of 20 laps or 30 minutes kill their tires when they start running 60+ minute races. It's just something there is no easy cure for other than having knowledge of that car on that track and how its going to act 45 minutes into a 60 minute race. There is no replacement for running the laps and trying new lines. Nobody can tell you or show you what to do, you just have to go out and run a 90 minute practice over and over to see how your tires are going to react to how you drive. Then change how you drive and run another 90 minutes and see if your lap times were still decent and how the tires behaved. Then do it again and again. In my experience most sims changing setup doesn't do a lot to save tires over long distances. It can help if you are burning the rears on corner exit but beyond that it's your driving style that determines tire life. Set the car up how you like it to feel and then adjust your driving style during the race to make the tires go the distance.

slow corners are often where you find the biggest gap between advanced vs top guys. imo, try to examine the 3 parts to a corner like scott recommended and if indeed the mid corner minimum speed is the issue, then i would play around with rear camber first. if that doesn't help, then adjust the rear toe, then the diff settings. in the end, it may be a combination of all three and perhaps few more chassis alterations as well. as scott mentioned, you want to maximize the work that each tire is doing in all phases of a corner, so understanding which components of your suspension setup comes into play and how your inputs direct chassis balance is critical.

Trail braking can make good gains on slow corners, if you are not doing it already. Takes practice though.

@@wobblyrampack9655 trail braking does help in entry, but only part of the solution...the rest is about traction on throttle, and in a slow corner this translates to massive times--especially at spa for example.

@@dabz3432 Thanks for to good answer 👌 after i get my wheel back for repair i will try play around setups.

@@dabz3432 Excellent points! Yes, slow corners are where time can really be saved for sure.

I've thought about this too, mainly from the angle of, we really need electric endurance racing, its amazing how many revolutionary ideas in our road cars came from motorsport so it would seem appropriate to use the same tactic again in the modern day to push the development forwards.

Inductive charging. So the car will literally be charging while it's driving on track. It would only need to pit for tires.

It's a bit tough in a sim since you cannot feel it happening. Typically you are experiencing understeer if you turn the wheel more but car will not turn more. So you essentially you are drifting off the track. It's quite easy to feel in rainy conditions when you take a turn too fast. If you play iRacing you can head out on the skid pad and get a feel for it by going in circles and turning the wheel until the car stops turning more. It will help train you for how the game translate that feeling to you.

@@driver61simracing10 Alternatively, games like Assetto Corsa often now have "understeer enhance" which makes the wheel go light as it nears the point of understeer. Super useful stuff

Quick one. What game are you refering to and what car? Also. Have you tried telemetry? Could be that you are releasing the brakes too quickly and therefore shocking the rear of the car. Telemetry would show you that pretty quickly if you compare yourself to a faster driver.

Best coaches in sports are often mediocre players who struggled and understood their deficiencies but didn’t have the natural ability to overcome them.
