4:15 Got it. Slow in, crash out.

Won my first online race tonight. Thank you, Scott. It’s taken almost a year. Mostly weekend work. Could not have done it without your insight.

Smooth, smooth, smooth. Sawing at the wheel n mashing pedals just sends you backwards. Remember: The 1st adjustment always has to be the nut behind the wheel.

Another tip if you're not carrying enough speed, set AI to 110 in a practice session, fast forward so the track is up to temp, go out and find an AI and hold them up until say a third of the lap before the corner you want to learn, let them overtake and just watch them go through and compare speeds. Using the flashback camera to watch their lines. I never bothered with this for years but it was surprising when I did.

Me who drives the car with a keyboard.

I find it useful to switch off ABS and/or traction control and do a few laps in time trial to help develop proper habits with braking and throttle. I find that I'm keeping those habits even when switching the assists back on.

Late braking was a huge problem for me. Took me awhile to figure it out sometimes I'll brake super early and still catch up to the car in front. Trail braking is also a must learn skill once you find that sweet spot. Remember always locking up the tyres at every single turn. First I learned how to brake in straight lines without any steering input then I learned how to feather the brake just enough to slow me down for the corner but not enough to lock up or overheat the brakes and tyres

Really brilliant video. I’m new to F1 games and keep skidding all over the place this is super helpful :)

Thank you for this tutorial, it really helped me because i was having trouble breaking before a corner and you explained it very well.

Great video. You explain these forces very well for the novice to understand.

As someone who started F1 last year, this is really good advice !!

Very helpful as always. Thank you. Great video. ✌️😎

this is an amazing summary of everything wow! the content this channel gives is fantastic, Ty!!

Does anyone else just use a Controller for this game or am I a maniac?

I did enjoy this video. Thank you.

Some of your videos give me deja vu, mate! You talk about your experience, and then you go over driving basics like vision, use the phrase "finite amount of grip" at least once, and so on. All of this is great advice, and I get you have to try to make KZfaq happy, but your regular viewers like me, well, I'd like to see some truly new content, because you do it really well. I hope you take this as constructive criticism from a viewer who really appreciates what you do!

I see players who have amazing race craft, really good solid drivers overall but who are just slow for some reason. You can see they try and be fast but just can't compete. I think I remember I was at this stage myself. What really helped was the conscious realisation whilst driving that perhaps even though I'm nailing the corners technically with good braking, clean line, good exits, etc, perhaps regardless of all that I'm just simply not carrying enough speed through corners. Bit like the difference between Norris and Ricciardo this season. It's super hard to explain but once you start to recognise what actually is fast, break out of your auto pilot, you start to realise a lot of it is relative to your own perception of speed. Some times you need to "snap out of it" and hit a different frequency. Side note, this is why FOV and camera position is super important because it massively changes your perception of speed. The wider the FOV, the more you can perceive on screen, the slower things feel and so the "braver" you become. Things don't just "come at you". But too wide, details start to disappear and everything might feel "too far away". It depends on your eyes really. I got bad eyes so I had to find a balance. You'll always be at a disadvantage using cockpit cam in this game too but if you drive in real life, it's probably better for you because your brain is probably already wired to work in that perspective. It's more intuitive I find. Plus if you're like me, any other cam just isn't real racing imo, especially wheel to wheel racing. What I like to do is run practice sessions a lot and just remove that inner drive to just wanting to "win" for a little while. Instead of trying to get to my fastest pace straight away, I just lap as if I'm on an out lap or driving on the roads in real life. No particular speed, just playing around, no end objective, no pressure, just enjoying the car at all speeds, get a feel for everything, even express myself with the car for a bit lol, but not letting myself get carried away. Having the discipline to stay smooth and focused without letting my brain get excited or distracted by other cars and lap times and what not. I do this for a while until I'm feeling good and then I carry that same mindset throughout and practice specific corners that I know I'm not carrying enough speed though and by doing this, my minds in a good place to actually being able to test what is fast and what isn't. Once I worked this out it was a game changer. If you think about it, it's what you'd do in real life too.

This new f1 is the 1st one I've had in about 7/8 years, also 1st time going on multiplayer aswell. Really thinking of buying the logitech g29. Multiplayer unlocked some competitiveness

Amazing video. Subscribed. Think I'm gonna learn how to drive without abs

I just got a wheel setup and man after years of muscle memory on controller I seem to have basically restarted my skill set on the wheel. My throttle and braking with fingers have been perfected after at least 10yrs of playing racing games on controller. Now that I have a wheel setup I’m trying different games out and slowly rebuilding myself back up and it’s definitely a struggle lol. I know the lines and how much brake/throttle I need to input but translating it from all hands to hands and feet have been game changing. Thanks for the tips!

Cheers bro that was solid info

perfect explanation

great video, thanks

Great Tips as always, I was trying to tell my mate about the weight shifting around under braking etc. But I don't think he understood it properly, so I've sent him the link to this video.....Hopefully he gets it after watching !! On a different note.....Which version of F1 do you think is better and why F1 2020 or F1 2021.....I'd like to hear your opinion !?!?

Love these vids. Unfortunately im still on controller till my set up is finished. So inconsistent 😕,but i can tell my skills are mich better after watching these videos.

I you guys don't learn with this you might as well quit, lol. Is impressive how detailed this information is. Thank you so much!

Love these. Hope to get a spot in one of your classes! 🤞

I love that you guys used Harris Hellers streambeats

Buying it !

Thank u for an amazing video. But whats the best „Level” to learn? Should I jump directly to Elite or Professional? As a Beginner, I feel too much easy winning all race’s so easy. Or should I just go step by step, level by level till the Elite moment?

Bro you are beast

ALSO please please talk more about setups. the most difficult part of beginner sim racing.

OMG YOU HAVE A SIM RACING CHANNEL AS WELL? why was I not aware of this?

I play with the Duck Hunt rifle so thank God this video was made to help me out

Ouuh. This helped me a bunch. I'm still newish using a DD2 now. Started on the CSL and CSWV2.5 BTW is it bad that I love oversteery setups? On most sims even. Especially on acc with mid engine cars and the ferrari gt3 evo

Finally an F1 guide 👍👍👍

I played this game on Xbox with a controller, I came across a problem with neutral power around a sweeping left right, the throttle profile should default to no weight transfer but the game doesn’t appear to do this, it stays with the accelerating profile which over rotates the car. In theory the car aero should be balanced at neutral throttle and be very stable

What's a good time for a noob at Bahrain with a wheel and no assists? Just got the game but haven't got my internet sorted yet so stuck with the demo mode for a bit

Hi there have you any thoughts on the best cockpit set up for beginners everyone I've tried seems to be too close to the steering wheel etc

Maybe this will help me finally get points at Monaco

i could watch a 10 hour video of this no problem

I always race with all the assists off, steering on simulation etc and it's so hard to match the times I can set with assists on, even medium TC. I'd say I'm generally a quick driver but replicating how late you can break with assists on, how much speed you can carry through some tough corners or how early you can get back on the gas, with no assists is very difficult

Me who is still racing with the racing line (corners only) but with most assists off.

I have dropped about 5 seconds this year but learning myself

I always watch your vids on tips and then realize wow I literally know all of this stuff and have. That must mean I have potential:)🤣😎

So it's better to turn off assistants to see the mistakes, and as we get the knowledge, turn it on to be quicker?

Pedals t3p4, brake pedal, with progressive or without?

Do these tips apply when you use all assists?

I started playing during 17, off assists by the 9th season. Haven't played with assists since F1 17' controller player.

Would love some tips for controller users. Unfortunately some of us done have money or space for steering wheel setups

My only problem is using 2 feet to drive a steering wheel. I use 1. I don't know how to manage brake pedal and I throttle when entering a corner. I sometimes press both pedals at the same time, but not at same power, meaning I press one of them harder than the other. The weird thing is: Why am I so good in controller but not in a steering wheel

What an awesome video. I was unable to keep up with the ai at challenging difficulty in "braking point", now I am progressing through the story at that difficulty level. My main takeaways were to look further forward and brake earlier. I've literally shaved seconds off my lap time! Thank you so much!

Only watch this once , stop watching videos on “ how to “ turn on console or pc and start turning laps and don’t stop until your there , you want it ? Earn it good luck all 🙏

Slow is smooth smooth is fast. If you watch a lot of the fastest drivers their wheels are super smooth. They don’t make a hunch of adjustments.

I Drive 1:43:652 in Spa, 4 sec behind the top. I think i made this misstakes.

1:51 Should I be using this camera setting? I don't like it because it blocks my view but I guess it helps look downfield like you're saying?

whats is the best camera setting?

I have no clue why I went from 2 seconds of leaders' pace in Bahrain and Imola to 4 seconds in Catalunya That's was around P14 to almost 1s behind Mazepin's AI. That GP was dreadful, got lapped in lap 24 or something

Hi scott, I would say I am already quite fast but my downfall must be slow speed corner exits and getting a good run for the straights. I was wondering if you had something that could improve this

I'm currently trying to learn how to drive without the racing line. I just can't nail the turn in points. I always either overshoot it or run into the wall/cut the corner. I can never get it perfect.

Why doesn’t it gas when I press the pedals when playing?

hi scott, i just watch your video. i am playing f1 2021 on ps5 and i am playing wit h a controller. i drive on medium traction control. it is hard for me to find my ideal trajectory. i dont know if the tips that you explain in your video are the same for controller. if you have any advice please let me know thanks

Why when using assists my in career my car won’t go deep into corners anymore

it is playable f1 2021 with the 750ti and a i5-4460 ? 8 gb of ram

Is it just me or are tyre pressures reversed in this game? In Time Trial, where tyre temperatures are locked, if you minimise the pressure on the fronts and maximise it on the rears, you get understeer instead of oversteer.

I actually always do the 1st tip well. I am shit at everything else though. 🤣🤣

I’m a dumbass, and you make perfectly great sense. Thanks bru. 🤪

Its difficult to pull up brakes slowly with joystick

Top 3% on iracing with 600+ races but still fun to cosplay the newbie hahaha :)

damn, I'm doing most of these without even thinking about it. Should have been a racing driver lmao.

When going into a corner think "Slow in, Fast out"

My mistake is shutting off the casual mode and spinning out at every corner I then encounter.

Would these also apply to other racing games?

So I've just started F1 2020 which is my first time playing an F1(r) game, and I have the SF1000 wheel on a TGT base... What are the two lower rear paddles for? They seem to be accelerator and brake, which is odd as that just doubles up on the pedals. Is something wrong with my set-up?

Hello everyone, i heard that there was a problem in my team Career mode that when you upgrade the brakes the car becomes undrivable. Is that still in the game or is it fixed?

Question. Wouldn't you want to learn without any assists if u want to race competitively since leagues usually don't allow assists?

Got my first F1 game this past summer, and currently play with all assists on. I keep the AI set around 75'ish for most tracks. What order would you suggest that I start to turn off my assists so I can gradually and successfully play with no assists on?

Assists just slow you down, more realistic feeling, the better

Does anyone know how to control the PIT ENTRANCE as it is often closed when I need it open, and sometimes opens to drag me in when I need it to stay closed and let me stay on the track. This problem has ruined a few races already as I can't control the MFD on strategy to make pit lane open, or keep it closed. Suggestions welcome.

I’m consistent. Consistently slow

Can you help me pls. I play on f1 2021 and i lose time because i go to soft on accelerator because i dont wanna spin, can you give a tip how i can know how much i can go on the accelerator

Me drives with xbox controller on pc begose i dont have money to buy a wheel btw i drive f1 2021 on difficult setting 86% assists off usely qualifying place 8-10 Usely at race end 3-6 place + i started to learn how to upshift and downshift without looking at the thing on the bottom of the screen not bad ehhh? im not using the sound thing that give you sound when to upshift im just lisenning to the cars engine sounds to know what gear im on its Hard to explain

Any advice for PlayStation players?

Something I see quite a lot is drivers are able to turn their car relatively quickly, almost like it kind of snaps into a turn. How do I accomplish this coz when i turn normally its smooth but it seems slow? ive tried turning my wheel a little faster but then i lose grip. could you or anyone give me some tips? thank you.

Can we get some intermediate to advanced F1 tips? Or is that on your sim channel?

Excuse me sir... I have consistency... i am consistently slow 🤣

no metric units? why?

The presenter kinda looks like the first Ganado Leon S Kennedy encounters in Resident Evil 4.

Man, I just found your content recently. I'm a lover of motorsports and cars in general. But here's my problem, im paralyzed from the chest down, and I don't have the luxury of using a racing rig. My question for you or anyone in the comments is, where can I look for tips and tricks for controller players. The information in this is going to help 100%, but there's a niche to using the gamepad, and I looking for that guy with the golden technique ?😐

Hi. In F1 2019, I want to turn off brake assist but it causes huge changes to the accelerator. I’ve been using no traction and low brake assist. But the car suddenly becomes undrivable wit just the slightest dab on the accelerator causing immediate spin out! WTF? Anybody?.it makes no sense!

Wow I found the lost bee gee brother he's doing youtube

What’s the digital screen thethrust master steering rim?

Scott, are you happy with the Thrustmaster TLCM Pedals?

My advice with abs and other assists, unless you're completely new to any realistic racing game, don't bother with it. Just learn no assists properly from the get go, it's really not that hard and it's a good skill to have.

Buddy and i are doing a coop. I relied on him since he has quite some hours. Turns out we're both pretty shit lol

Vision is still the most difficult technique

Watch out for the hacked car setups and steering wheels hacks lol YEA WE KNOW…..

Bro all I want to know is why my car is going 140 mph as a top speed and everybody else’s is 200mph

These are awesome tips....unfortunately this really only applies to steering wheel and perhaps controller players. It may be only me, but I find it difficult to feather the braking or acceleration while performing these maneuvers on a keyboard.

Hi in youtube maybe it's possible to have a translation in an other language .. or to have English subtitles. this could help non-English speaking people to understand better. thank you.
