The Fast Line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- Determining the ultimate fastest line around a race circuit is an art in itself. To lay down that "flyer" you must find the perfect compromise between the fastest theoretical line -- and what the track will give you.
In our latest video, an elite group of the world's quickest drivers discuss how to do just that.
They cover everything from hitting apexes, to maximizing kerbs, to using changes in the track surface to your advantage.
Speed comes from mastering the details, and hitting your marks is where it all begins.
SAFEisFAST.com is a free Online Driver Development program for aspiring drivers providing video tutorials as well as direct advice from today's top racers and industry experts.
03:04 "Half a cow-width" - best unit of measurement ever
Half a car width. Or were you talking about the accent?
Oddly enough I learned alot about corners from Gran Turismo 1 & 2. You had to do license challenges to be able to race the faster races.
It's nice to hear pros talk about things you've picked up and have become second nature with years of sim racing!
0:10 VTEC just kicked in yo!
My first year in karting was spent solely on finding the right feel of the racing line and then applying to race situations. Once you find the feel of the line, you don't necessarily need the mechanically fastest car to be the fastest car on the circuit.
In karting you need to be tiny and weigh nothing to win.
hossguitar Very true, but skill does go a long way as well. I was one of the taller drivers in my league, but I made up for it with having a lighter go kart.
If you gotta use the curbs... than you gotta use the curbs.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I learned a lot!!! Please, more videos loke thos one!!!!!
Check out the rest of our library! We have MANY more videos that are just as educational.
Yesssss!!! I just subscribe to your UA-cam Channel! I'm a member so time ago and I forgot to subscribe!!!! Thank you So Much for all that you teach us!!!!!!
+Reinaldo Cordero Might be true. Also it is true that they could have made this video in 20seconds :D
Nice tips! For me "Going Faster! Mastering the Art of Race Driving", by Carl Lopez and Danny Sullivan is the definitive book on driving techniques.
Amen. With that book, you can drive like someone with 5+ years of experience in just 1 year of commitment
I love when this stuff backs up what you already believed. Makes sense to me
This is just a video called Driving Techniques.
Advanced Driving Techniques would be navigating a tight terrain whilst being shot at.
i like how the porsche guy gets all technical, always how it is.
I don’t motor race and probably never will. But I find these vids all so fascinating and addicting to watch!
This will help my braking and cornering in competitive racing games thanks for the info.
5:24min xD outta outta outta
Just kidding. I Love this channel...
It's kind of common sense. I smoke fools all the time in GTA using this tactic.
Imran Agassy This is why I used to beat my friends in T20s while driving a stock Vacca and outran a 20 car field in a Turismo half as fast as the rest of the field as well as in a Cheetah. Everyone just looks for the fastest car and throws any other logic out the window.
+Imran Agassy Yeah but I mean, you can apply it everywhere on games that have cars; its all about learning that games' physics model and translating real life racing tactics to that games' physics.
Lol I am owning noobs on GTA 5 online with this
😂🤣 “smoke fools” 😆
Good to hear from the pros.
I will learn these techniques and drive like there is no tomorrow!
Get Forza 6 and an Xbox One.
Harry The Cat
Well give PLUS 1+ to my comment! Yes I will get XBox One this year!
+Harry The Cat lmao...
wow!
Thank u so much, video is very useful
the one who turns the least always win :)
u know everybody watching this is gonna be running 100 mph on the freeway
What is the fastest line ? Great vid... :D #fastestline #safeisfast #roadrace #racecircuit
I reckon I overdue the kerb usage in sim-racing
+Sanazabaaar I think in sim racing people can get the mentality that the most aggressive line is always the best line. Could be from how many aliens with hundreds of hours finding the cheatiest set ups to abuse the physics or doing 100 laps of which maybe 5 were actually successful to chase that perfect time.
Thing I learned in sim racing is that its easy to forget the difference between attacking for qualifying and driving a race pace. We can delude ourselves if all we ever do is draw inspiration from watching pole laps.
Nice videos
Yeah, awesome video, right up to the point where it no longer played any sound whatsoever!
Great Vid.

Long Beach, CA circuit!
I've got three words: Wheelspin is a bitch. When you're coming out of a slow corner then you really need to avoid hitting the throttle too soon, otherwise you get wheelspin, especially with cars that have a lot of torque. And also, cars with a lot of torque don't like when you drive over the kerbs, it makes them very unstable, usually you need to release the gas pedal for a split second after you've driven over the kerb and then ease the throttle back on.
That's 4 words lol ;) however you're correct, kerbs can be very particular about how you need to (or not) drive over them when applying power. There are a number of variables that have to be taken into account when dealing with kerbs vs the normal racing surface...then you have to add in the weather on top of it haha
Kamukix How is it 4 words? I count 3 words, as "a" is not a word.
hexagon523 lol you're right, I wasn't thinking...
2.38 - zer ballad erv rikkeee berrbee!
2:37, um thats jean girrard.
Go watch talladega nights if you havent.
fast in, fast through and fast out is my style
Fast into the wall is my style as well
done.
Good drivers do not spend a lot of time thinking about the racing line. It is pretty obvious on track...and it changes, even during a race as rubber is laid down. Guys who spend a lot of time analyzing lines are usually slow as molasses. The racing line does not matter one bit if you go slow around a corner because you can not drive the limit.
1:48 he reminds me of the witch from Narnia! Not being mean but jsut saying
Felipee Rincon Why? ahah
Interesting. I believe in Late-Apex and Squaring Of faster.
immediately liked
This is advanced? Learned this shit fucking around in go-karts.
Go-karts are also vehicles driven on a track, so it would be weird if you didn't learn "that shit".
And still you're not champion in anything..
It's not what I would consider advanced. If you learned something from it then good on you.
I hold multiple titles in speed fucking.
speed fucking!? thats an interesting race class. is it off road to make the fucking easier or do you turn yourself to be really slammed into each other in the corners?
will help me man handle my e30 4good
Kerb your enthusiasm?
british teeth are strong in this video
long beach is scary as fuck
i swear i knew most of these techniques , i'm a big fan of speed and racing and mechanic since i was a child i never had an opportunity to be on a race track , if i did you will see me on the top of lap records
i'm surprised about how basic their vocabulary is when describing corners.
none of them say "increasing radius corner" to describe one, for instance. they just give examples.
yeah, pretty much as i expected, the real deal is still more about feeling than theoretical knowledge.
6:23 that's something missing from some racing games that really cripple fine tunning. you have to drive consistently on every other corner of the sector if you want to know if approaching a corner one or other way is faster. real-time on-demand feedback is something really helpful.
I am 13 I wanna be driver and understand perfect line
Baffco same!
Baffco me too. I learned most of what I know thanks to gaming. For example I try to get the fastest lap times on driveclub all the time and I actually got in 4th of the world
@@martinschepers7654 that's impressive! Congrats!
6:40 "kerb" is that a European thing?
+Layne Hagan CURB... use your ears better (or clean them to improve functionality)
+John Crusader If you watched the whole video you would know that a second or so before 6:40 there is text that says "Using the kerbs". *That* is why he asked, not necessarily the guy's pronunciation.
+Layne Hagan curb = US English, kerb = UK English
The guy at 0:39 has really hairy ears
I see, being smart it is not needed in racing competition... And we talk about the soccer players...
nothing new here.
How can a bald guy have so much ear hair?
1 year no comment
nascar be like
Wow! They really scraped the bottom of the barrel for talent in this video....
JK id give my _____ just to listen to any of these drivers talk about racing.
It a hall of fame lineup
First day type of tips, what a waste of opportunity.
They want to sell some driving course or what? The whole video sounds like spam.
