3:31 "casually checking if I just destroyed my phone screen"

I am a driving technique coach in the World Rally Championship. The concept you describe is what I call activation, as in activating the chassis. - Activate - Rotate - Accelerate An activated car is a car where the driver has manipulated weight transfer to "create" grip. How do you cure understeer? - Go deeper in the corner - Trail brake and for the advanced, left foot brake - Have slower speed at the point of rotation and prioritize acceleration - Be patient (To early entry is the beginner mistake) Very good content. One step further would maybe be to describe left foot braking, and possibly potential energy when it comes to linking one corner with the next? Thanks!

Tier two in the house 🙌

Impressed by all the content of late Robert, really enjoying it 👍

Army saying of, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." Great video as always. Very informative. 👍

We love that first “chapter”... Hi I’m Robert

Really appreciate you to put up content like this. Track people like us often time regard track driving knowledge as common sense, while it is not. This definitely helps broaden the audience of your channel and create a better atmosphere for discussing & learning!

Thanks for explaining trail braking and weight transfer effectively, I never understood it until now, the phone analogy was brilliant and now I finally understand.

Love the percentage explanation, that’s how I was taught trail braking and lean angle on motorcycles.

I immediately want to hear everything you have to say on this. - Mediocre Budget Sim Racer. Thanks for touching on this. Every perspective adds to my weak knowledge base.

Damn Robert, I can watch you explain stuff all day..

100% Bang On. Exactly the same with motorcycles. It drives me nuts that instructors say not to do it on the street. You can trail brake even driving at normal speeds.... it is safer. This braking in a straight line and getting off the brakes is just messing up your suspension balance.

Great explanation for one of the most important track technique. Here in Italy when teaching I always have to fight against the oldest bar legend... “never brake in a turn” 😂😂😂

Would you please re-explain in front wheel drive?

Thank you for taking time to talk about trail braking and corner balancing in turns. Sudden weight transfer is upsetting to both chassis and lap times. Smooth is fast. Understeer is safe.... slow and boring. With porsches it’s slow in fast out.

Best animated use of an iPhone I’ve seen in years.. talking, chatting, email, nah, that’s sooo last century ..😀 At least I have one of the three key components he talks about. 1) McLaren- yes 😄 2) skill - limited 🤭 3) big cohooners- nope 😳 Hey, that mountain bike is far too clean 🤔

It's like putting a paddle down in a canoe to slow/drag the rear so that it'll come around....just a tap will do ya

Love seeing content like this and any video you put out really! Thanks a lot for this and please keep it up Robert!

Superb explanation! Thank you!

robert ive said it before that you are an excellent driver, i knew it even when you were only going 60% of what you are capable of just from your head movement and how you worked the car with trailbrakeing, i thought wow it just comes natural to him but now this video has really just cemented that not only can you drive VERY well but you understand the why behind it so much that you can teach it and someone who hasn't had a single track day, and they would understand it. the saying "if you cannot explain it simply then you don't know it well enough" really applies here. you have just done the best explanation of trailbraking that i have ever seen or heard, and done so where a laymen could understand it. i really wish we could watch you drive a full blown GTE car on the nurburgring or even some type of prototype or open wheeler. you have the skills and mindset of a racing driver. ive tried explaining trailbraking to friends but i just end up confusing people, now i finally have a video to show them. everybody thinks they are the best driver because they weaved in traffic a few times. seeing a guy live driving on track the way you do is just incredible to see with all these different cars. its very easy to say "i could do that" when you never tried it. i had trouble keeping a C7 Z06 in shape at my track, and then i watch you take out cars that are really prone to snap oversteer and just glide it through the ring. i can fully appreciate what you do, i hope to someday get to your level. im only 27 so i have some years to go

Thanks for taking the time to share this knowledge

Amazing. In depth. Cheers Robert! Such a big heart to share all this info people usually take for granted.

great content as always, thanks. Especially the bit exploring the rear engine v. mid behavior under trail breaking.

Love these technical videos Robert! I've learned a lot today again! For the future lotus also a good tip! Thank you very much!

Loving these educational/instructional type videos 👍

I love the topic and practicing these techniques. Really enjoyed this thanks 🙏🏻 This helps the over confident realise there is sometimes more to it, than just smashing the pedals down in turn. (Have you heard of Dunning Kruger 🙄) Even at moderate road speeds, managing the weight transfer in these ways is SO rewarding to practice. I wish I could spend more time under tuition on track!

I was recently looking for a video to explain trail braking and found nothing, needed this! Thanks Robert 🙏

i've been trail braking all my life, but now i realize it and understand what i have been doing all along. wow. Thank you for this revelation. Good stuff.

Really enjoying your content 👍

Thank you, more track concepts like these please!

Quality video Robert! Very interesting and insightful. Thanks for that 🙂

Excellent explanation. Thank you very much for sharing.

Really good overview! Thanks for educating those who are learning and also those who need reminding.

Keep up this content Robert! Absolutely top work

best video from you so far! thank you robert

Brilliant. Thank you very much for sharing.

Very informative insight into the world of trail braking, thanks Robert

One of the best explanations on this subject i've ever seen. You've just helped a lot of people Robert, thankou, Matt.

Great video and great explanations, very helpful 👍

Please do more videos like this! The amount of knowledge you have is amazing.

Very well explained Robert, simple and understandable, thank you!

Wow this is just what I needed! I could sit through explanations like these for hours.

This video is pure gold! The amount of information and the way they are presented is perfect. I would love to hang out with you guys some day. Keep it up!

Thanks for uploading, it makes me smile when I see the notification and the interaction that you have is super cool

Informative videos like this are my favourite.

Excellent explanation. I love smooth cornering. That's something I want to learn.

Great content! I love the tutorial format, and your analogies are spot on. I am convinced the cure for Covid fatigue is a dose of video from you, Misha, and Tim.

First thing they I learn from instructor was to be smooth. Thanks for the refresher course. Hope to meet you sometime in the future.

I really learned a lot with this video... Thanks Robert!

Great introduction to trail braking, thank you Robert

Thanks Robert. I needed that instruction. The phone analogy was good and the rest of the content was spot on. Cheers and thank you for taking the time to make it. I like your motto about always trying to have fun. It’s a great attitude and outlook on life and the day to day way to live it.

Thank you for this. I've been debating on implementing this more into my track driving

One of the biggest things I need to work on currently, very helpful!

Another great video Robert. You are explaining things really good. Well done!!! I hope things will be better nest year and have the opportunity to visit you for the first time and have some laps!! Greetings from Greece!! Petros

Best explanation of trailbraking I have heard and how to apply it. Learned something today...

Really enjoy your videos, very informative

Totally brilliant vid AND you fixed the wall! respect!

Hi Robert Thank you, for doing these videos. Much appreciated. You, Misha and your whole team does a great job. I had my first 2 laps on Nürburgring this summer, definately will come back, and next time i will have instruction laps from one of you guys.

Amazing content Robert, thanks

6 AM instead of sleeping im watching video about trail braking and it's awesome hehe :) good job explaining it

Very interesting and helpful information especially for someone like me who wants to start doing track days in the near future hopefully(family comes first) and wants to learn the correct way.Thank you

Tech tips from Robert, this is helpful, nicely explained.

This explanation about trail braking has made the most sense to me so far. Thanks for that.

Quick note. For anybody interested in this topic and would like to practice their driving I can highly recommend racing simulators like Assetto Corsa. All aspects presented by Robert apply there. Get a wheel and practice.

Just happened upon your video. I am an instructor and might use this video with my student next weekend at Watkins Glen. Well done.

Excellent video Robert 👍 I learnt alot about driving and traction dynamics, makes total sense once you explained it mate. Looking forward to more of these types of videos !! It would be great to hear you speak more on the GT2RS MR behaviour on track and how to get the best out of a Porsche. Thanks for the video 👊😎

Good stuff! Great explanation about the difference between the McLaren and Porsche in the trail braking and understeer.

Great video! Best investment is always in driver skill!!

This was by far the most informative instructional explanation about track driving. I’ve driven on track for years and I still learned so much from this video. Thanks Robert!!! Your channel is my all time favorite

Great vid, really enjoy these kind of vids. I'm having to learn this all over again since moving to a RWD chassis

Ganz simpel - vermutlich die ruhigste, fundierteste und verständlichste Erklärung zum Thema, sauberer Fahrstil! So gut!

Great advice. A coach, data logger, tires and lots of practice are far more important than the latest supercar.

Superb explanation and spot on re 911's where trail braking is absolutely critical to driving the car fast.... miscalculated a couple times at Spa when the rear end of my turbo rotated far faster than expected under brakes leading to a near spin !

Great video Robert. I agree in the wet on circuit the limits are lower and you need to ramp up the smoothness and it’s amazing how much Grip you can get with trail breaking and Being smooth with inputs. I always heal and toe to smooth downshifts and seen friends loose traction and lock wheels if you don’t! A lot of people need to hear these techniques so keep up the good work. Making the ring safer for all.

An excellent explanation of trail braking. We done.

This is great. A noob like me needs to hear this several times from different people before it sinks in on track lol

You Sir, speak the truths. For 21 full minutes you held my undivided attention! Salute!

Great explanation nice inside in how things works

Love the content thanks for the video

Thanks. Given me something to practice

This is an awesome video, please do more like this. While I already knew of the concept of trail braking, I feel you definitely did a great job explaining everything. From how it works, to how you go about using the technique in practice. What you said about improving as a driver vs simply adding more power, was very true. Having extra power might even make you slower through the corners, if you can’t properly control it. I feel that the majority of people here in America only care about straight line speed and high hp numbers. Very few (from my experience at least) seem to appreciate the art of cornering.

Very nice explanation

Big thanks Robert, driving techniques are one my favorite topics. I wish I could come there in the future, and have a practical lesson from you guys. 🏁💯👍🏁

Good video. While I enjoy your chats, I was starting to tune out and this sort of stuff is great and there is not enough of it on the net by people that are serious practioners like you guys. I enjoyed your piece on tyre pressures and another on the different tyres (how I was introduced by a friend to you). There is so much material to talk about with car setup and driving technique that you guys must almost take for granted which most of us don’t fully understand and the internet is so full of rubbish. I track a GT3RS and I’m sure you guys can teach a lot of people like me by video. I hire an instructor from time to time but not everyone can and I still learn from you. All the best.

Brilliant trail braking explanation Robert, especially McLaren vs. Porsche differences

Great video such much info👍👍

Great video Robert! I was nodding in approval as this is how we explain weight transfer in our driving school. Up until the understeer part. The reason why most cars are set up to understeer at the limit is not because most drivers react with jumping onto brakes. That would actually overload the front tires even more, just imagine the traction circle. However what helps and is very natural reaction is to lift off the throttle, which induces immediate decceleration which in turn reduces the centrifugal force by square of the reduced speed, allowing the tires to get back INSIDE the traction circle and regain grip. So what we teach and practise with our clients when their car starts to understeer on the road is to lift off the throttle but eliminate the tendency to continue onto the brake pedal. Then apply the right correction at the wheel depending on whether the car has ESP or not. Keep up producing the great content. Cheers :)

The best Car KZfaq Chanel. Love watching you talk robert ! Keep it up

Not gonna lie I love his vids. Holy f*** they are fun and enjoyable to watch

Love the technical theroy on on how to actually drive on a track, even though I know this kind of video like you know will now get the easy views. Respect, cheers 👍👍👍

Great explanation about turning, i remember seen a show a lot time ago about the fastest mods for track time and the more difference by far was a couple of laps with an instructor more than tire, suspencion, brakes etc

Nice video. In 1999 I bought a Suzuki Hayabusa hyperbike and the best thing I did was take some riding classes at the local track. Many track days followed on various bikes, so I agree that learning technique is the best thing you can do to get faster and safer.

Cool video man....trail braking,perfect if you chase someone....another cure i remember for understeer was turn the steering wheel to the direction of understeer...thanks man!great as always

Awesome video! I have a e82 125i as my first car, I did it up with some goodies, lightweight rims, sticky tyres, springs, and a tune. Imo one of the best and cheapest toys going round. Hola from Australia

This is why I tell everyone to get some solid kart time.

Clear explanation, esp liking thr Porsche and tyre part

In my opinion this video in one of the best i ever saw from you . go on🙏🏻

The content you guys put out is almost too good to be true. Amazing!

Great video as always, just wanted to mention that there are still cars which are set up for oversteer from the factory. The ND Miata is an example of that. With the car in a steady turning state, you can make it oversteer by just turning the wheel more.
