"Unless you're braking with an extremely light pedal" *looks down at logitech momo brake from 2005😢

Shaved 4 seconds off of my time with trailing braking!!! I have been racing for just 2 weeks. Total newbee. (Although 69 years old. Yeah, haven't owned a video game in 40 years. Go figure.) Automobilista 2: Watkins Glen Formula Reiza Moza R9, Moza KS Wheel, and SRP pedals. I crash a lot. But I went from the slowest on the grid to the fastest. Listening to your videos has dramatically improved my times. Just set my best lap time ever! Almost 6 seconds faster than the Ai. Thanks!

Well, don't we all make mistakes in every online race? It does not matter if you are a multiple race winner or a champion of a big event, this is helpful to keep in mind while racing. Thanks for the great tips as always, Suellio! Will keep in mind.

You have honestly skyrocketed my pace with your tips, thank you

wow, algorithm was quick with recommending this one

The traction limit one is a game changer, once I figured it out my corner exits were insane compared to before.

damn this video is insane! you provide so many tips that i've never heard before. im gonna watch this every time before practicing

I started listening to your tips maybe about 5 months ago when I was still using right analog on a controller for throttle and braking. Now with the wheel your tips have resonated even more so, and I've improved quite drastically just keeping things in mind for practice sessions and qualis. You truly are ahead of your time Brother.

Very informative guide, great job 👍

Great advice and as I am still new to sim racing (3 weeks short of a year) I have only ever used Auto-Blip but no other aids, simply because I have never driven a manual car in 25 years of driving and with my pedals not being load cell (logitech G29 wheel and pedals) I have started using the clutch pedal as my brake (because brake too stiff) since doing that I have seen my times improve and my ability to trail brake. I still can't trail brake all the time depending on the car and the corner but it is a lot better than before. As for being slower and keeping line while the faster cars lap you, I find that if you communicate to the other drivers and find a good spot to pull over (straights of course) then it is better to pull over so they can stay on the racing line. Almost every drive I have done it to has appreciated it and thanked me simply because they could keep on the faster line (with more grip ) without ruining the entry in the next corner. If I know there is a long line of cars close enough together, I will even slow right down too to I don't go too far down the straight and then ruining the 6th or 7th in line, thus ruining there chance for racing for a higher position. It all comes down to communication with the other drivers, knowing the track and knowing your limits. Everything else I will try to put into practice even though I already do some of it.

Amazing! I'm really keen on iRacing ultimately. In the last period I've improved mostly on my consistency. Still need to improve more and more in certain points, especially on braking and bring up proper speed in the first laps I feel like I have to be more efficient, but I can say that I'm on a better level of speed overall than last year. Surely these guide is highly useful!

this is one of the most helpful vids youve made for me cheers

Great tips! Thank you for sharing!

Amazing insight, thank you so much.❤

Great video Suellio. Something for all levels of driver here. I’ve got lots to work on 😂

Great advices, thank you!

Thanks for a wonderful video!

I tried to implement many of the tips given here and literally shaved off 5 seconds of my laptime, holy sh*t

what a comprehensive list! great video

Love this video!!!

Breathing while cornering …. Best tip, you know me well… I‘m trying now to breath twice a minute - hard to master as you mentioned, but it helps me with concentration and endurance:) Thanks also a lot for the other tips, helpful alltimes! ❤

Best guide ever. Thank you

Good info. THX!

Great video !

This is GOLD.

Very well done.

20 hours of driver 61 in 10 mins 🤯 Love your content!

This is literal gold

Great video

very good , thanks for the video

Dude, I only watched the first 5 minutes of your video then jump in and I've already became faster and smoother! Really nicce tips!

Even if we don't have the racing lessons and good habits to watch, you already have my respect with Carl Sagan and Senna on your frame behind you 😁

I love the fact that he mentioned: « if you wanna have fun the video is not for you ». He isn't that type of KZfaqr that keep begging and begging for subscribers. But yall better subscribe to him🙂

WOW. Shot gun learning style. I love it.

Great vídeo, now let's practice!

The best and only honest tip how to be a better driver so far.

Hola, muchas gracias, me aclara que puedo mejorar mucho, tenía una intuición de lo que hablaste aquí, pero nunca había estudiado el tema

Very interesting video

Now THIS is how you use AI to generate a thumbnail 👏

6:17 great practice for this is Oulton Park. Ive been racing there in F3 cars and you can be much more aggressive with the throttle out of the hairpin than you can be on the final curve

6:19 i realised that myself not long ago. There was that line of downhill hairpins that i was doing wrong going too much outside on entry to get a better trajectory for the exit. What i didn't realise is that the corner has a raised camber on the inside and if you sacrifice entry speed for rotation the result will be much faster. Surprisingly enough handbraking that corner is faster than not doing so. That might be because my car had a very long first gear though. I think this mistake should be higher up on the level of difficulty because its not easy to spot that especially on downhill corners where you'd think it wouldn't matter

Wooo way too many! I’ll will have to revisit this. I did well until 8 but I’m working on that…

Fantastic guide! 👍🏻 for the great men on your wall, Sagan was the Senna of science education, man’s still touching lives.

Love it

Very intresting tips thank you Do you also cover gt7 ?

Haha Number 34. Unfortunately I’ve had a few toxic drivers go into the back of me, claim I was break checking (when I wasn’t, I was just slower) and blaming me for not moving out of the way (because they don’t know how to overtake? 😂). Fortunately I got promoted to C class and now see less toxic drivers allowing me to finally learn and improve a bit more 😅. I’m also enjoying iRacing a lot more now which is good. I did not enjoy my month in rookie and d class, glad I got to move up to c class before season 1 ended 😄

One word : RESPECT 👍

Nice.

This is why I prefer racing on ovals in high-downforce cars. They’re less demanding and more about the kind of racing that appeals the most to me: cars running in huge packs, relying on the draft to pass each other, constantly at full throttle all the way around, mere inches separating all these cars, with one wrong move being all it takes to spark disaster.

Any tips for driving the Porsche GT3 R and GT3 Cup in ACC? Also, I changed my practice toward a 2 car 10 min race where I have to follow the lead car and only pass on the last lap. I found this harder than passing as soon as possible then staying in the lead. If I can consistently make the pass then I increase the skill level of the lead car. Thoughts?

Thanks mate, really helped. Will the book be internationally sold?

I got nice pedals but use my clutch as the brake so I can comfortably left foot brake and with the stiffness of my brakes it lifts my f1 simulator seat

Feel like Nr. 49 is my biggest issue 😅

I read somewhere that your faster in oval racing keeping your steering range to 900. I then set it to that in the fanatec software. Is this correct or does this hinder you in road racing?

Hi mate just wondering if you’ve ever used the G29? I’ve just got mine and am stuck on what I should have my FFB settings set at asked others but they never seem to help

Hi Suellio! Is this the video version of the bullet point list you posted on reddit a while ago?

Carl Sagan poster. Extra points for you

I don't think 46 is necessarily something to always follow. Even with a correctly setup DD wheel, some cars, particularly road-based ones, will not necessarily correct the car appropriately through steering forces. Depending on the steering geometry and self-aligning torque of the tire you might for example not get any countersteer correction from the car in some combined input situations. Racecars tend to have less phase errors than roadcars and it is not a guarantee that the SAT is well simulated in whatever sim you're playing, but it's something to keep in mind if it seems like FFB is incongruent with what the car needs.

im pretty sure i saw this in a written form on reddit a few days ago? did you post that as well?

Any tips for someone who just got into ac, acc on controller. Cant afford a racing wheel so anything helps

Hey bro i have a question about the FoV. This is the first time i hear it is fundamental to set it the right way and i wanted to know "how much fundamental?". My problem is that my ideal fov is 28 and i cannot change the configuration of the room or my gf will just put an end to my life. At 28 i can't see the apex when i'm at the corner entry, i'm used to look as far as possible so i cant drive at all. i put at least 50 degrees usually. Is that wrong? I mean, there must be a minimum

Do any of these traction things work for dirt races in iracing too?

It's incredibly hard to apply any of this to controller, because I need to use 90% of my attention to keep the car on track and not yank it off because my thumb was 1 mm to far to one side

Using logitech g920 and its impossible to touch of feel the pressure braking, given the rubber inside the brwke,

Im trying to get better in sim racing but my computer is low end and i cant do the light hands technique because i drive on mouse steering, and because of it, If it slides i over correct it

I tend to find that using the cockpit camera while racing in F1 2022, the hands on the wheel (on screen) block the view of the corner apex, and your lap times are cancelled. It's a shame because I do like that view the best.

Is it ok to start sim racing with a forcefeedbackless wheel

1:50 Nordschleife: "Are you sure about that?"

How can you coach me im 1.5 sometimes 1 second behind the top 10 times i feel like im doing alot wrong but cant see it at all.

Can Console drivers join too? Or is it only iRacing and PC?

10:18 Could I assume it is suggested to use throttle to “maintain” the rotation at corner exit instead of “increasing” it?

7:05 this is a small track “Chaika” or “Seagull”, in Ukraine, near the place where I grew up russians destroyed it for some reason in spring 2022

I cant figure out if the first poster is of Carl Sagan or Jair Bolsonaro ... Hopefully it's Sagan, lol.

the bible of sim racing

do you have any "how to setup a car" videos? i have 15+ years sim racing (stopped counting at 15) and have driven to the moon and back in millage, so this isn't about "git gud". my strat used to be "download someone's leaderboard car, and tweak it so it's actually balanced properly". i set a global #1 time this way, and many top 10s and stuff (the #1 spot is just about putting in the time, ain't nobody got time for dat!). but games like iRacing hide the lack of skill in the community though hiding their information on setups. i have seen countless videos on tuning, and even built an app for my phone to do math for setups.. *_i can recognize a perfect setup,_* but i just can't understand how to get a perfect setup without *_"try every single setting until it works"._* i know the obvious stuff like tweaking roll bars and alignment (and of course what every setting does). furthermore, i can guess at the procedure.. i'd do aero early, and springs, but how do i know the relation between things such as(but not limited to) damping and the rollbars? for example i know that i can do things like adjust the rate at which my car will roll with the damping. and how do i find the values for these settings, and for my preferences, such as(but not limited to) aero? the procedure can't simply be "try every single setting on wings until fastest time" because that is probably 1200 laps. and everything affects everything ELSE! i have INTUITIONS on the correct thing to do, but i cannot create a procedure for myself to guarantee a perfect competitive setup without "try every single thing, until it's at it's best". what settings are "SPEED"? i can use intuition and luck if i need to maybe, to make it FEEL good.. *_but how do i tune optimal competitiveness into a setup reliably?!_* i feel like this is "hopeless cause" typing all this, but you seem pretty knowledgeable from most of the videos i've seen you post. this is the only real weakness in my racing and it's worth the time to type this for a chance you can help me at all.

grrreatttt

ter mais de 40 anos é tarde demais para entrar no mundo dos sims?

2nd!

“Stop using driving assists” *looks down to keyboard*

For free? In this economy? Insane man, but thank you

Why am I watching this when I barely know half the terms used

Well done.

Oh fuck I have a lot of work to do

Nice video! Thanks for the footage from the Ukrainian track Chaika in Kyiv💛💙 at 7:04. Sadly it was partly bombed by terrorists((

'Don't use assists, do I need to explain this one' Yes, yes you do.

anyone clinch their teeth while cornering 😆

Pues creo que esta en fase beta y un pokito verde el dispositivo, pero mucho de lo que ofrece ya esta inventado, aunque con el haedware que tiene, si dan con la app o la manera revoljcionara de utilizar el dispositivo seran un salto sino seran AR y VR premium, pero nada mas

Mistake Number 1: Sim Racing

I can't get to your discord from the link in your description. I am interested in seeing your discord community. Great vids

I agree with not changing the setup and rather adapting the way you drive to gain balance, ONCE YOU ALREADY HAVE A MOSTLY USABLE SETUP. However when people tell me to use preset setup I can’t understand that. Why would I limit myself to a nonspecific setup over great s setup that is track and team specific.

Constantly on youtube i see stupid video on how to improve your driving technique. But in fact they re just stupid tips for beginner that everyones know exept for the latter ! E.g overtake_GG. But this guy along with driver69 give for real good and precious advices and reminders even for advanced driver.

I’ve always the fact that sim racing games generally have a low sense of speed as a positive.. surely if everything looks a bit slower it will be easier 😂
