Oversteer or Understeer? Advanced Sim Technique Explained

Күн бұрын

This advanced sim racing technique tip will help you reach perfection when trying to maximize the grip usage in your four tires.
Everyone thinks too much about whether you should be oversteering or understeering, and not a lot is mentioned about the ideal point in between them.
Neutral Steer is the way to go. No matter where you're driving, iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor 2, Rennsport, Gran Turismo, or real life driving, this should be your objective.
This video gets more and more advanced towards the end. Here are the chapters:
Oversteer explained: 00:00
Understeer explained: 00:43
Neutral Steer explained: 01:17
Get used to understeer: 02:16
Get used to oversteer: 03:00
Dancing with the car: 4:02
Oversteery or understeery setup? 4:48
Understeery vs Oversteery setup lap comparison 5:27
Why Oversteer is better: 5:59
Why it doesn't look like some cars ever slide: 6:48
Important tip for understeery drivers: 7:20
Bonus tips: 7:52
I'll also give you a little discount coupon at the end for The Motor Racing Checklist if you want to go hardcore in your advanced sim racing technique. The course is suited for intermediate and high-level drivers. If you're a beginner, it will be useful for you but you should take it patiently!

This is quickly becoming my favorite simracing channel. Your video on "relax" has been highly helpful for me. This is a very timely video for me. I have been adjusting set ups on my most used car to negate the understeery charisteristics that I am most comfortable with. And yes, by doing this I have dropped over 1 second off my best time on the track where my league is racing this week. This video is a great description of over/under/neutral steer in a package that is easy to digest and begin to implement on track. Thanks for the video and keep up the great content.

Thank you so much! I got into simracing around a month ago, and now I finally 100% understand oversteer and understeer. Others just don’t clearly explain why it happens and the fundamentals of it, but this helps a lot with learning. I was also being pissed at myself for oversteering all the time, but after watching this I understand that it’s good and will help me reach the neutral steer. Kind of forces you to push towards the neutral steer, if that makes sense? Otherwise you have to react to correct and be reminded that you just oversteered on this turn, or even worse and you spin out. It’s still not easy and takes some mental fortitude though!

Another thing is that the way you take the apex may vary on how do you want the car, for example, Roseberg took smooth geometric curves, so does Sainz, but take Schumi for example or Verstappen and you'll see they take the apex later, in fact closer to the exit rather than on the middle of it, an that's a reason as to how they keep it in neutral steering state despite the car bias to whether understeer or oversteer, because in an oversteery car, to keep it in a neutral steering state, you have to just steer it into a turn a bit late and preferbly just turn in a single quick move so it doesn't slip and that way you'll keep it stable and going while the understeery car you'll have to almost schedule your turn several meters before and get turning, personally, I slightly lean towards the oversteery. Great video and thank you very mych!!

How do we include understeer when the car is setup with lots of oversteer?

@Gamezoneadi 15 күн бұрын

i have been able to achieve oversteer at corner entry and understeer at mid corner but i cant get back to oversteer, under acceleration my car only understeers. how do i do this?

Oversteer demotivated me for a long time, as a casual sim player it took me bit long to dedicate to learn countersteering. Although I'm still too slow with ending a slide, it's so satisfying to handle it at all😁 And a few solid practices being baked helped a lot with analising and implementing, setup wise as well 😉 Pozdro666

Maybe someone can help me? I race on ACC but but i watch pros they can take it flat out but i have to lift like crazy. Like on spa eau rouge or Turn 15 on spa and much more. I drive the Ferrari 488 and not a single setup change works. I need help!!!that’s why i lose like seconds on a single lap

In karting we do neutral steering all the time, but for a completelt different reason. Turning the wheels create friction, friction slows you down. When you don't turn your steering theres no friction therefore you can be faster

As ive since discovered Trail Breaking and started executing the technique more and more, I break the ass end of my car our a LOT more. I'm still too new to know if this is a natural consequence of trailbreaking and like the way I watch how much power I put down on exit, I also need to take into account on the break pressure I put in? Or if its just a consequence of a car that is not set up. I haven't even broke into that hemisphere of RaceCraft yet. As a new student of being Fast I'm tearing through as much as I can as QUICK as I can. I've always took pride in excelling at new systems and methods quickly. But Racecraft is DENSE and I'm learning there are things I'm "Feeling" on the wheel, in the breaks, that are hard to articulate, you just kinda have to find it over the course of hundreds of laps. Laptime is still dropping as im on my journey, but I expected things to start getting harder and harder as my racing lines are cleaning up and I'm getting better. FIRST bit of expendable income I get I'm joining that Motor Racing Checklist mate. 100%

Using logitech g920, unable to get a real feel given the rubber the put in the brake, however having been doing 02:26 on ACC ,I followed some of your 5 tips and I just did a 02:22:8, pretty chuffed with this time but looking to get it to 02:19:00 at Spa so still lots of work today, only been sim racing just over 3 months

@ImPlankinq Жыл бұрын

When i used to drive FF, you would go into a corner really fast, use the brakes to shift the weight and sort of flick it into the corner. Then mash the throttle to understeer out of it

@SuellioAlmeida Жыл бұрын

When you notice that any tiny movement in the steering affects rotation, you're close to it. For example, when you understeer too much moving the wheel does little to the direction of the car
