You should do Indycar ovals next. Welcome to 'Merica lol. Also, don't focus on going high to apex in the beginning. This will shred your tires. Use the mid line letting off the gas to save tires. Let the draft keep you on pace.

Dave to help your right front for Texas, turn your brakes all the way to the rear. Plus your corner entry is too early. Stay up against the wall a bit longer and arc into the corner.

@davecamm Ай бұрын

Now it's confusing. I watched a guide saying get in to the bottom early 🫤

@GoodWeiserRacing Ай бұрын

In the going into turn 1 a lot of times you left room towards the wall to move up. That would help your corner entry. Also helping you enter slightly later. Also in turn 3 when you went in too early you can see how much more wheel input you had to steer. A few laps closer to the start when you ran down the back to around 1 second you can see you start to enter earlier and put more wheel in.

@gregorybalint Ай бұрын

@GoodWeiserRacing duuuuude, i just waited on the grid, when i catched your comment. Had the same issue as Dave... and oh boi, i started to overtake ppl in the 18th lap.... It was like i'm on still brand new tyres.

@DJYeeJay Ай бұрын

@@GoodWeiserRacing The issue I'm seeing is less about timing and real estate and more about the angle that he ends up pointing his nose. Most top guys dont go up by the wall on entry until the final few laps when it's time to squeeze lap time. The more important fundamental is that your nose points in a straight line to the white line before you enter the banking. If you don't have that angle early you make it up mid corner by using more steering wheel and boom thats tire wear. Wide entry is fine but assuming you have the correct angle, there's marginally more tire wear at a tight handling track with it because you're cutting across the banking more. It's a little easier to execute though so that's the trade off.

@brycefountainegolf Ай бұрын

I would say you are entering the corner early and off line. I recommend DJ Yee-J’s tire saving videos. Explained very well and very helpful.

ROTF Laughing. Best intro ever! Looks like you’re off to a good start with your oval career. I highly recommend the Silver Crown Series, same guys week after week so more accountability. But… IDK if you’ll get a time slot favorable to your location. SOF races usually run twice a week at 7:45P, or 9:45P EST. Used to be Mon, Thurs but that may have changed. Great group of guys though, and a fun car.

Great video as always! So glad you're getting into oval racing! That intro was hilarious 😂. The dude that ran into the back of that guy was 100 percent wrong. The dude in the wall did what he was supposed to do but the other guy just wanted to make a point, a wrong point but still. One little suggestion if that's cool: On my Racelab overlays (thx for discount) I'll have at least one of them have the car numbers next to the names as well, usually on both the relative and overall standings. Would come in handy I think for us watching to get a better idea of everything going on. For example at the beginning of the race when you called those 2 car numbers out that were bickering, it would be nice to know where in the pack they are by seeing their numbers on the leaderboard. It also helps me out racing, especially oval, at keeping good situational awareness. Again, great video! 👌

you can save the right front tire a little better if you let off the throttle earlier going into the turns as well as not using 100% throttle in the middle of the turns. let off a little bit earlier and roll back into the throttle, and also don’t turn the wheel too much

@MrRichalu Ай бұрын

And people slam Nascar as just going in circles. Sure, going in circles where anything can happen at any time to ruin your day. Others have already covered corner entry. I'll just say, if you drift off the bottom, don't fight it back down. Let the car get comfortable in that higher line. The important thing is to keep your momentum up. A higher line usually means less heat in the FR. But then, I don't know that much about the Arca cars. Anyway, better luck next time.

14:1 -12 steering ratio 60% on brakes plus the additional -3% in car adjustments. That’s what I do for every track outside of the short tracks

@davecamm Ай бұрын

What's the -12?

@manashulily Ай бұрын

@@davecamm I think he means -12 steering offset.

@ZoneXV Ай бұрын

@@davecamm The offset, the default offset is way off, it has the steering way to the right on the straights. I find getting the wheel "straight" gives me the best feel for the car. As far as steering ratio, I would go with either 12:1 with a -10 offset or 14:1 with a -12 offset. Some people swear that higher ratios save tires more, but running what is most comfortable will be what saves tires more. You burn way more tire with your right foot and the line you run than you will ever burn with any ratio changes.

@davidflanagin8699 Ай бұрын

@@davecamm you want to feel like you are counter steering, that’s how you know you are on the right rear tire. You have to drive it hard to get the weight to transfer on that rear tire tho some times driving slower doesn’t always mean better tires.

@ottokrosse2106 Ай бұрын

Great job! Enter the turns a bit higher, maybe half to 2/3 up the track just above the dark seam in turn 1, enter turn 3 straddling the seam and then slowly steer your way to the very late apex to take stress off your tires, carry more speed and increase you time on full throttle. Of course all this is moot in heavy traffic. 🫣 Hope this helps with your tire wear concerns. Love your videos, keep up the great work, you’re a great embassador for iRacing! 🏁

You’re actually saving a little too much in this, you can do 3 and 4 at Texas without ever touching the brake in the Arca cars. As the race goes on, you might have to start doing a slight brake drag to help the rotation but it’s still nowhere near the amount you’re braking. 1 and 2 looked decent but like others have said your angle is a little too sharp. Starting on road and then moving to Oval I had the same issue at first, you don’t point at the apex like you do in Road, you want to arc into it a little more to help use less steering input. Most of your rotation should come from your brake and throttle, not the steering wheel. Like others have said, @DJYeeJay is the guru when it comes to oval and specifically Arca
