Just starting out with iRacing and hope to compete in my first proper race this weekend in the MX-5 at Laguna. This video enabled me to improve my lap time in practice by 1.5 seconds ! thanks so much for the instruction, much appreciated ;)
Hello @traxionGG and @davecamm. Let me start by saying I am new to Sim racing as a whole. I have about 2 to 3 weeks of xp. I just got my D class with a 916 IR (dont laugh to hard. lol.). I have a logitech G290 set that I bought second-hand (the braking is bad but getting use to it). These videos are great for me. Before I watched your video my best lap was a 1:45:.800. After watching this video and taking some notes, I was able to to hit a 1:42:900 in about 30 mins of practice. I know 1:42 is still about 4 seconds of the pace, but an almost 3 second drop in 30 mins after this video shows the value of this video. One of the biggest issues I am having is oversteering the car. Not the car oversteering, but me over driving the car( Turning to tight and not letting the car neutral steer and not using all the track). Do you have a video/ videos that can help with this?
Thanks for those videos, this is very helpful, before I see the video, my best last lap time was 1:40.1 and after I watch the video, I was able to manage 1:38.797
Love your videos mate! Ive been racing here fot a couple of months and i have used your track guides for every single race ive competed in. Still chasing that p1 but your knowledge and resources go along way!
thanks for the great tips! Laguna Seca is one of my favorite track. I did a couple of laps yesterday and i did a 1:38:4. pretty sure I can do better with your guide. What are your plan for the next season?
Blimey, just as I think I'm getting good, I go and "figure out" the track for myself and am running 1:40s. Watch your video once and can get in the 1:39s. Then I come and re-watch and your "nice and steady" lap is 1:37.5. Why does it look so nice and steady when you do it, but feel so hectic when I'm doing it?! I know the answer is more practice. Maybe my goal is to get into the 1:38s by the end of the week. Rewatching your video I already see one place I'm lifting too early, and there's also a little VRS stuff I can watch. Look forward to watching Mac from the Back race here soon!
I left rookies week ago and did my first races at class d. My avarage is 39 seconds per lap but opponets are 37.8-38 per lap. I did many practice, watched a lot of tutorial and It’s mindblowing for me that people at similar iRating are just out of my range by a second 😅
Literally watched this video between practice and qualifying and although I started from the pitlane, I finished P4 thanks to your help!
I'm just starting in SimRacing but these videos have helped me a ton!
Good stuff! Glad we could help. Keep pushing you'll get that P1
Once again, these videos are essential, I start every week referencing these lengthy walkthroughs.
Glad to hear it!

I just got into iracing, I cant wait to make content for this game. I love it so far and I love this track thanks so much for the guide.
The kerb as the turn in marker really helps aswell as the tree on the corkscrew managed to get a win after 4 races thanks to this video
Thanks Dave. Such a fantastic resource and appreciate you taking the time to help us n00bs get better
Any time

Thanks Dave, you really have a knack for explaining things in a way a beginner can follow.
hi Dave! missing your track guides. please don't leave us. hey TraxionGG, those track guides was the reason I subscribed to you
Thank you for your excellent lap break down, I found 1.5secs from your tips.
The best!!!

Thanks Dave!
Do you have a video on race Starts? I’m driving MX-5 with paddle shifters. And get smoked off the line everywhere!!!!! Any suggestions or tips?

smooth is fast :) i always remind myself
Another helpful video. Already know some things I need to try differently.
I left rookies week ago and did my first races at class d. My avarage is 39 seconds per lap but opponets are 37.8-38 per lap. I did many practice, watched a lot of tutorial and It’s mindblowing for me that people at similar iRating are just out of my range by a second 😅
I found out that I Can watch replays of the fastest on the track to check out their lines 😆
how you do this with manual transmission tho 😢
Dave getting all the red anti-cuts like nothing happened 😆
Whether you know it or not your my co driver😂 i swear your the voice in my head telling me where to break
Do you use simhub for the track map you have on this video?
I think it's called RaceLabs, but Dave is the best person to speak to.
Great video as always. You still using the invicta pedals?
I was for this guide. I'm currently running some more affordable pedals 👍
thanks
You're welcome!
Are you a Boro lad? You sound like a Boro lad! Great video by the way. I've found you really helpful since I started iRacing.
Cumbrian originally 👍
Started three days ago on Assetto Corsa and my lap time went down 19 seconds.
And what is your time?
2:18 Disagree, man. You gotta be in 2nd gear for this one.
