To have this kind of information from a pro, and FOR FREE is something that should be praised. Thank you Scott.

He’s making very good points. If you’re losing 0.1 sec per turn and a lap has 10 turns, that’s a full second per lap.

I started braking this morning. My next track date is in the spring.

This is my problem.. when I try to brake later than usual I end up turning in too aggressively and getting oversteer. I then back off because I think I've found the limit, but actually I've just created oversteer by turning too aggressively trying to find the apex. I'm trying hard to bleed off the brakes and steer more smoothly so that I can better judge the braking point limit.

I actually found that I was braking too late into some corners. Braking a little earlier and slowing down my entry speed allowed me to increase my exit speed. (slow in, fast out). Braking later and still making it through the corner isn't always the fastest option. It's certainly true that trying to get trail braking just right into a corner is an excellent indication of whether you're braking too soon or too late. Good advice, as always!

iRacing genuinely made my real racing much better.. Especially when it comes to braking, I learnt to trail brake properly, monza is a great track to learn how to trail brake, it's all braking

Finally!! That was my problem, thank you so much, your racing tutorials are the best

Really interesting video and I like the setting and video editing choices a lot. Keep up the good work 🙌

I found this out recently. Break later find time. Im within .2 of the World Record in Sim-Racing at Brazil bc of you Scott. BIG thanks. I might just make F1 Esports

Probably the most important video you have done and including the evolution of the braking point as time goes on, but also adjusting according to what you have done previously:) Thanks. It's also important not only for you as a driver, but also someone following or being followed by you, they have confidence in your braking ability. Or at very least it is not erratic and potentially dangerous.

Love the way you just jump into videos then do your intro. Great vid, solid format.

Thanks! Yes, I’m an early braker and it’s served me well. Just going steady gets me progress. But... understeer at the apex and such things keep me away from the thrill. I’ll try

To have many years in karting and finally thinking to take my ards all your videos are golden thank you Scott 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Outstanding...thank you very much young man....I do my first ever DE in October 2020 with my new to me by one month as of today, 2019 GT2 RS at Sebring...really looking forward to see what I can do.

Absolutely awesome and brilliant explanation! Thank you!!!

Nice, if you know how to brake you will be fast, this video is pretty well explained, braking too early or too late can cost you even 3 seconds per lap therefore braking is the hardest thing to do in a car, I will apply this in the sim from now and in early 2020 in the first track day, i cant wait to practice this in the circuit

Thank you👍🏻Great information

You are video always greats & full of info 👍

I'm starting my sim racing journey for the first time in the next few days (I have time, but also not the money for real racing). These videos are great for learning how to develop approach, consistency and practise. The only racing ive ever done is karting so this will be an interesting project for me

Really nice content 😍💪🏼

I remember reading a bit by a pro bike racer. He said he got his braking points sorted very quickly, and from then he wouldn't brake later to carry more speed, but instead would let off earlier. (It worked for me in the original GRiD! 😃)

I heard an instructor get the late braking point across with this: "you dont hit the brakes until you see God".

Thank You. I've taken 2 seconds off my Laguna Seca lap times after watching one of your videos.

Great videos, thank you for creating these! I enjoyed the throttle application decomposition you did of Lando Norris. By any chance, would you have the opportunity to do a similar study of Landon breaking technique?

Can you do some videos with karts and about them. Karting is like first step of motorsports and feel like this would be a great series

I love how this channel often features Brands Hatch!

You make it sound easy but the reality is a lot harder to master for me, i am bit like slow in and fast out, but i have to tendency to break to early, and need like 10 laps to master each corner the best i can... Nice video though as always :-)

My main problem with braking too early in a sim is the lack of feedback. There is no sense of deceleration rate. So, it is a guess, based on previous experience and has really nothing to do with actual velocity of the car.. Break at 120m, easy up at 80m, modulate until 40m, trail brake to apex.. And of course, that means that you have to build safety margins. I really want to try vibrations in the brake pedal. I don't think i will ever get any better at braking, i've been driving now for a decade in sims, largely with the same hardware. I'm good at throttle application, great at fast speed corners, good at awareness, body transfer control being the main weapon. But braking.. nothing has improved. It is still just guess work, with only occasional hints before it is too late. I tend to drive at minimum brake pressure. If the server allows ABS, i'm one of the best at braking, it is ridiculous difference.

thx

Your talk on braking on another video, it was just be Ike statement. Made me drop time everywhere. Being too cautious about locking up

That's interesting. Most of the time I see people braking too late and losing speed through corners that will also affects the next straight speed. :)

This is something I do on track days, particularly going from the Megane I had to the Caterham where entry speeds are quicker. It takes quite a lot to break the psychological barrier especially coming from a fast straight, I find this going into Hawthorns at Brands GP.

My major problem. I always break too early. now I know why.

That sums pretty much natural reflexes after 30 years at video game racing... When I got into my first supercar real drive on a track I was quite nervous and scared of myself because I knew my evolution was verry fast from lap to lap... by lap 3 I told the driving instructor: Glad I don't get to make 20 laps in thus ride because I would bring this thing to the limit! He answered: "Well We're pretty much there in my opinion!" Hanging tight to that over head passenger handle lol... He looked kinda nervous too! And so He forget to tell me to pit in and I got a free extra lap hahahahaha... before jumping out of the Gallardo I said: "Wow! Thanks so much for letting me push that thing so hard! I hope It didn't scare You too much... because I scared the shit out of me litteraly!" shook his hand and it took me about 45 mins to settle down from this experience first moments were like engaging in a black tunnel with a roaring croud surrounding me... verry odd feeling but so delicious

i believe braking in my scenario is what seperates me from some of the fastest time attackers by specfically a margin of 4 seconds. I recall before not learning trail braking at first and simply just braking as hard as i could in a straight line (obviously not optimal) and the margin was much larger (8 seconds). It makes sense that we listen to our natural alarm to slow down when coming into a turn, from now on ill start establishing braking points and see what i can get now. (hopefully gain another 2 seconds maybe? haha)

I am using the "racing line in corners" in pretty much all games I play, and in most of these games, I have the feeling the braking points suggested by the game's racing line are pretty safe/early. It seems like the priority of these racing lines is that you make the corner, and not necessarily that you take the corner as fast as possible.

This is great racecar advice. but my HPDE car isn't disposable. Yet, I still, naturally, want to perfect my technique,evenif I dont' get to be much faster.

Along the track i think i got it, but its on the main straight and at the biggest inner straight i allways mess up and end up to brake late. Im so eagger to find the latest braking point and do it wrong almost every time

Have a go at rallying then , you have to throw everything you knew about driving out the window and adjust your braking point to the apex of the corner really is hard telling your mind that

I quite like your videos, it today the in car footage was somehow out of sync with what you told the audience. Would have been more powerful to explain the concept using an actual brake point (e.g. Spa Kemmel straight the door on the left side)

How do I know the right speed for the corner? Is it just doing it faster and faster till I find the right speed?

BECOSE of a gr8 exit in prev turn onto the streight ur bake marker may b earlier?

brake late, do all the braking before the corner, accelerate through the corner. Jackie Stewart, 1969

Ah, braking... :) It's not the sim racing channel, but I find it quite hard to be consistent with the missing physical and the relative lack of visual feedback you get in a simulator, and not a top-gear one. Not complaining, but still...

Noob question: Are we to progressively apply the brakes and then ease off, or apply hard and then ease off?

Any way we can get a similar video with some sim racing footage and breaking it down on a sim. My buddy who runs endurance iracing stuff with us really struggles with this and you seem to be 100 times better at explaining how to improve your braking then any of our team members. Btw (love the videos)

🙋🏼‍♂️ should I brake hard and roll off quickly or brake a bit less pressure but longer? My thought process is by less pressure will that be easier to setup loads for a turn without overloading suspension and loose release? My trail brake is not great.

What's the inspiration behind the buddha on his helmet? It's one of my favorite decals I've seen

I brake early cause my g25 pedal suck its hard to trail brake into the corner because of how light the pedal was and releasing it gradually hard it always oversteer so I just brake hard and early and just trail it lightly

Hey. Q: what if you break to soon and you understeer. Can we save a little time by using the clutch to make a small amount of oversteer?

I'm always braking 30-20 meters early on the iracing, don't know what to do about it, if I try and brake a little late I can't make the corner, I'm not even on the average pace

Can you explain why rally driver brake round a corner whilst having throttle on at the same time, because I see alot of wrc junior drivers doing it

All well and good, but the key word in braking is “threshold” and you did not mention that word once ! Only way to be fast is to have perfected threshold braking skills. Be it in a abs car to avoid abs cutting in or a non abs car to avoid a wheel locking.

If you're a beginner then it's better to brake too early then too late.

I've been hitting the brakes later and later .... but it's scaring the shit out of everyone at the 4-way stop.

Any relation to Nigel?

Great idea. Keep pushing your braking point forward as your brake fade gets worse and worse. What could go wrong?

I definitely brake too late

01:39 , Just imagine how clenched a certain body part is of the driver in the white car, with cars coming 2 wide at him

Hold your breath, grow some balls... and wait as late as you can. 😂

Am I braking early? Yes. I prefer to do that than using the wall instead.

Is he related to Nigel ?

I'm only using this so I can be better at video games lol

Да не понимаю я по вашему

It's funny how I pretend to have 61 as my racing number then I found this channel Driver61 btw epic vid

Is this Nigels son ?

Destroying the brake pedal every single corner in 190 laps of continue driving

How can I break too early when I told even have a car?

0:13 lol Breaking Point is a HW movie, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9FxhcuZudvSdIk.html

Braking to late can be bad and lose you time depending on the car etc...slow in fast out

Wait why are there brakes on the front wheels in a RWD Car?

Go faster .....longer . Fangio I.E. spend more time at your top speed ( more feet per second ) than getting up to that speed. The biggest secret is to set the car up for the LONGEST straight(s) so you can start accelerating SOONER ...even for one tenth sec .sooner ...that one tenth sooner at the beginning will multiply by the end of the straight into second( s) ......and one second at 160 mph is a few car lengths ( enough to pass ) , this is what pro drivers do . they dont chop in front of other driver like punk mad max does .....because thats what redbull wants in order to win( make other drivers afraid of you ) ....sick. And .... ITS THE HONDA ENGINE THATS GOING FAST NOT PSYCHO-MAX (IMO) .
