I started applying this technique in real world when riding my motorcycle, and I have to say it helped me a lot, I'm now more confident while cornering, it's easier to judge how much speed and lean angle I need to carry through the corner because I'm looking far enough ahead 🙂

It's well known and taught that on a motorcycle you will almost always travel to where your head is turned and where your eyes are focused. This is why so many new riders crash within the first few months, even days, of first riding. This also helps with your amount of lean and counter steer because your body will naturally perform those actions if you're riding in a normal fashion. When racing though, you really have to teach yourself to go beyond your natural movements, and new riders do not have that experience yet. They just rip down the road and immediately go for the most winding and twisting road they can find. I learned all this the hard way. Luckily I survived my first crash, being one of those noobs pretending to be Rossi. I low sided at about 60mph in a turn on a mountain road trying to keep with my friends. The only veteran move I made was to let go of the bike right before it topped and flipped over the guard, falling 80ft down a cliff.

The biggest tip I can give, after viewing countless videos of people crashing their bikes, is don't target fixate when you think you're heading into a corner a little too quickly. Counter steer by pushing on the inside handle bar to the corner, look through the corner and you'll be fine!

@@jammydodgerman Absolutely. I'd add that if the bike has any chance of going around the corner ON the brakes, it'll damn well go around the corner OFF the brakes, so even if you're going too fast it's almost always better to ease off the brakes and just focus on where you need to go to make the turn. Never look at what you need to miss. Only look at where you need to go. Trust the bike and trust the tyres.

Hah, I'm so happy you demonstrated vision with T1 in Zolder - despite being a "simple" 90-degree left-hander, I had a frustratingly long time figuring out the braking and turn-in point for that corner, to be able to make it in one flowing arc. I always knew I messed it up if I had to change the steering angle mid-corner or if I wasn't on the throttle by that apex that comes up weirdly late.

But it was this advice of looking ahead and the way you explained how the weight shifts to the rear during jerky acceleration that got me instantly faster than I had been in a week. by looking ahead I keep in mind to just have partial acceleration and as soon as my car is facing toward the exit I am able to accelerate much faster. You're an amazing coach

Great clear advice as always from Scot. I am not sure “peripheral vision” applies to sim racing, especially on single screen setups unless I am checking where my dog is. Could be a subject of a bit of research. I would also add the importance of building speed slowly on new tracks, something Scott emphasizes on other videos. Especially busy circuits like Longbeach where it can be hard to pick out the corners on a low resolution screen. I am amazed at how the eye and brain learn to interpret a fast moving scene.

@Driver61 Sim Racing, Hi, One of the ideas I have put forward to struggling sim racers trying to look further ahead (because putting it into words can be hard to put into practice), is to learn to drive outside their comfort zone with oversteer within their ability. I know the Jim Russell Racing School teaches this with cars that are set up loose in a parking lot. With enough practice, this will ensure a racer will fluently drive with his peripheral vision , and always ahead of the next operation; braking > rotation > apex > exit. BTW, have you played GTS at all?

I still need a lot of practice to get rid of old habits, but I feel there's one more thing this technique has - the farther the object you're looking at the slower it moves across your screen, which reduces the strain on your eyes. This could be especially important in simracing because compared to real life you rely on visual information even more and your screen is not that far.

I work at a motorsports resort coming over from asphalt and dirt ovals. Since the road course is the main deal there it took a while for me to make the transition. The first thing I learned was this is club racing and contact is deeply frowned upon. We even kept a tab on the number of impacts on a whiteboard in the marshal's office. The first time I saw this and joked, "This is for the year? where I race we get that in a heat race!!" My humor didn't make a hit. Our instructors used cones as a visual reference, 3 cones per corner. A red cone is first, showing where to start the approach to the corner. Next was a white cone to pinpoint the apex. The 3rd cone (also red) was to show the exit angle for the turn. This is probably old news for you but coming from a different discipline this was a new training method that helped teach me road racecraft and made me a faster oval racer..

At around 5:00, you talk about the a-pillar obstructing the apex, but I can't help but notice how far back you're driver is positioned in the cockpit, meaning the field of view is much higher then what is necessary or ideal. Maybe this is just for educational purposes, but I would think that in a video specifically about visualization, the importance of a proper fov would be discussed right along with your eye points.

When moving vision from exit to the next up apex, how can you find the apex so quickly and look at it? Is it needed to first look as far ahead around/throughout the corner so the brain can feel where the apex is, and only then look at the apex? Otherwise how can one know instantly where the apex is? Surely there needs to be some searching for it up ahead. thanks, great content for the racing world 🌎 🏎

About first point and partially following points - Looking ahead - it's not that easy to implent this, because many people think they are looking correct where they are at particular moment. I've got some some experience with Eye-Tracking in motorsport simulator and can tell that many people are late with looking at braking point, apex etc. The fastest way to learn this is that Eye-Tracking training, where you have shown your eyesight and you can record your stints/stages to check your improvement. The main disadvantage about this device/training is fact, that it is not cheap or very popular, even in simulators.

For me what works is fixating on the apex and following that line slightly ahead of where the car is to keep up momentum, I never look directly at the exit or at brake boards because of two things 1. I know where they are 2. I’ve trained my peripheral vision so I can see the brake boards and I can see the exit very clearly without looking at them For example at zolder I look at the apex at t1 and I follow it round till I’m nearly through the corner, then my eyes go to the next apex. I don’t think it’s necessary to look at the exit or the brake boards. U can see them fine in your peripherals. Hope this helps 🙂

Looking farther ahead has another advantage, it buys you time to check your mirrors. (or your systems for that matter) Looking back is just as important. My tip to add to this, is broaden your view. Don't just focus specificly on one single point, but like juggling, try to keep many aspects in check. This technique also comes in handy while tailgating your opponent. Don't just stare it his/her rear bumper, but also check, in the corner of your eye, his/her break references, apexes... the full monty, so you can compare them with yours. Again like juggling, try to keep all the balls in the air. 😉 Who said racing was easy? 😂

Distant viewing while the eyes don't have to focus in the distance, they still keep it to close eye focus because there is no real distance. If you understand what I'm saying? How do real-world drivers handle that, and doesn't it lazy the eyes focus after long period of time, decreasing proper sharp vision focus??

Many people are just looking like 10 meters ahead, so each turn is an individual challenge. It's quite easy to get stuck on that and you see people doing that on the freeways all the time. People driving 120 km/h and not looking further that 20 meters.

Always look where you want to go. Not only in video games. On a motorcycle, driving in traffic....and sim racing.

Great video, really useful. I think what it also highlights is for good vision you need a good FOV. The pillar in the Aston a case in point. Drivers eyes position similar to the replay is great for VR or play back, but closer Field of View is required for screen use as you are already seeing wheel in your hands in real life, this will then allow you much more screen estate to view apex’s and exits.

FOV is limited on iRacing. You can't always use the FOV that you need.

@@Spyker8921 really? Because the fov in this video is WAY off. I don't play iRacing, but if I had to sit this far back in the cockpit, all the other points this youtuber is making about visualization are self-sabotaging his viewers' (and clients'?) efforts.

I follow this advice since I watched the other lessons. Problem I find is that not having any feedback but visual (and FFB on the wheel), looking forward I cannot catch in time if the car is unset or sliding, so that I have to keep an eye on the cockpit too. For the same reason I do not find helpful the functions to “look at the apex” that many sims have; it unsets my “virtual spatial awareness”.

In that case your FFB might be set wrong. You should fiddle with the settings, maybe set it stronger?

You know a tip for sim racing that no one thinks about and usually applies to people struggling to get over 1k iRating in iRacing? Calibrating their pedals and steering correctly. These drivers usually have a Logitech or Thrustmaster. So with a wheel they don’t know that when it asks to turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the left that it wants to see 900 on the calibration screen. I’ve seen people have their steering wheel over 1000. Or with the Logitech pedals they don’t realize the brake has a rubber stopper and they don’t use it so their braking is all jacked up and super sensitive.

looking to the outside on the exit I'd say is generally a bad advice. I will be aiming for the furthest ahead also during the exits, which will be most often the inside unless it is blocked by a wall, guardrail or something. That way I feel I can point my car to the direction I want it to go much earlier, thus being able to give throttle that earlier as well, than minding myself against the edge of the track on the outside.

idk in real life driving is just.. something else.. i can look far enough ahead on the road (unlike most people who break at the last moment before a city enter or a red light instead of letting the car roll), but in sim i dont have the depth or i m genarelly aware its a sim and not giving everything i could idk i cant focus or see the corner like i would in real life
