That is literally me with a fake controller. Max steer 0 steer max steer 0 steer because the deadzone is very high. You have to turn the analog stick halfway to see something in game. And you cannot smooth steer while you drive fast because it takes time until you find the "sweet spot" of the fake controller
This is why i choose to steer with mouse with GlovePIE. I don't have money for precise steering wheel. On some circuits my lap times are up to 5 sec faster in comparison to keyboard. Long S corners and for example S1 in Sepang are nightmare with keyboard, with mouse it is 3000 times easier.
Another mistake, but not so common anymore: picking a veyron then wondering how a gt car can get better lap times because “ah yes, fastest car definately means fastest round the track”
Sorry on that last word my phone acting gay but what I’m tryna say is a Bugatti is too damn heavy to be on track and will be the slowest track car ever, there only purpose is for straight line races.
When you start, focus on consistency rather than speed. If you do a 1:07 lap then a 1:15 then a 1:14 then a 1:05 you may walk away thinking you’ve done a quick lap but really, you’re going past your limits and hoping to get lucky. You’ll struggle to improve if you do this. Instead, slow down and try to consistently hit a lap time a second or two slower. Once you can do that lap time without mistakes 5 times in a row, try to brake slightly later or get on the throttle slightly earlier to gain a bit of time and so on.... You’ll eventually be able to do a quick lap consistently and in a race, that’s what you need to be able to do.
You know how it is sometimes though, you go in pretty hot, set a good pace then throw off your mojo by pushing too hard then you’re out for the next lap
@@yammmit trail breakin isnt a begginer skill. Mastering the basic breaking in a straight line is. Trail breakin introduces weight shifting. Not begginer friendly that.
Yep, i'm the guy who always picked lambo's and ferrari's whenever I pick up a new racing game and now that you pointed that beginners trap out to me it makes me see why older racing games always started you off with slower, more street used cars first before giving you the big guns.
I find my best lap timea generally happen when I've basically zoned out and stopped focusing on getting the right line or being in the right gear. If I simply drive the car, I go faster.
Holy shit, yes. I play GT sport and when my mind just starts wandering i'll kind of come back to my senses only to notice i just finished getting my fastest lap times in the race. It makes no sense.
I think that's what people actually mean for "focus", it's this state of zoning out and just doing it, when people think of focusing they refer to that state but in practice when they focus is actually overthinking, so they start actually trying to over correct everything which leads to more problems.
This is why I listen to music while racing. My mind focuses on the song while my subconscious takes care of driving. A caveat though; one must know the track for this to work. While learning a circuit, or a car for that matter, if you don’t focus you’ll be in a wall.
One day, my father beat me on Gran Turismo 5, I used an AC Cobra fully prepared and he chooses a Catheram with full suspension and full gearbox kits, he won, I told how he did it, my car was more powerful, he said "sometimes, power doesn't always count, experience is important too" I will always remember that
@@SpideyOnPSN Dude what are you talking about? AC Cobra (Or Shelby Cobra) is a small and nimble car.With only 90 inch wheelbase and less than a ton of kerb wight its a monster. In GT 5 Available Caterham was 7 Fireblade with the motorbike engine instead of the standard Ford Pinto one. With 350kg weight and 170 or so hp its a monster on the track, especially with the gearbox upgrade as standard one was a tad too long. You're right about the power to weight advantage, but remember that Caterham has much smaller Torque than AC. I think it was both: well chosen (and possibly balanced) car as well as experience.
I think a lot of people stay in the centre of the track not because of them wanting to stay on the track, but rather get scared of grass or gravel runoffs just beyond the track limits. Beginners do follow the racing line but abuse the hell out of track limits when it comes to tracks with tarmac run-off.
his mountain driving is more different than viperconcept. takumi is braking right on point for his skill unlike viperconcept his braking is more to the grippier side of driving style
You HAVE to do that if you’re on game pad/controller though because ether sticks are basically 100% input every time unlike a wheel. Unless you have stick adapters
Brake early, so you can brake smoothly. When cornering, don't put the power on until you know you won't have to take it off again. My tips to anyone who asks and is struggling.
@@kami_narisama For show offs and Senna wanna-bes. It was technique unique to Senna (at the time) and in the real world outside of Rally you will never see any driver use it. Sim drivers love doing it as it makes us feel awesome. It's probably not as detrimental to a laptime in a sim car as it would be irl, and i doubt with all the modern tech in race cars these days it's very useful. In the old turbo era it was supposedly to keep the cars on boost, but Senna ran out of fuel in a lot of his turbo era races. That was the trade off for the insane speed he had with it.
@@McSenna1979 ah alright man thanks for the input. I was thinking if anyone still used this technique nowadays and you explain it concise enough for me to understand
@@McSenna1979 ah you mentioned about rally, what's the bemefit of them throttle blipping? Is it like how Senna use it sometimes (as a way to get traction)?
Well done. An important top 5. Some additional tips for beginners: 1) Drive your car of choice in it's stock form before tuning it. This will allow you to see how you can improve performance and tailor the car to your driving style. 2) To reiterate on driving lines; stick with the outside-in method (approach left turn from right, and right from left) until you learn the track at hand, and the driving line will reveal itself. 3) Most people use many different cars. Pay attention to drive-train (RWD, FWD, AWD, front/mid/rear engine, etc.) Knowing is half the battle... Sometimes more. 4) Turn driving aids off. The car will speak to you in it's natural form and grant you god-like insight. 5) Invest in a wheel/pedal set if you can. It's easy to drive aggressively and drift with a controller, but use a wheel so you can fully understand what's going on. 6) Save replays and watch them again. You will see your mistakes and improve much more efficiently. 7) Make friends in online lobbies. If you want to actually race, join a racing lobby -not a free run/practice lobby. 8) ... KOBE! cause why tf not??
Oh I forgot... Throttle control. Understeer's worst nightmare. This is on a per-vehicle basis. Knowing when to "let off" and go "flat out" can drastically change lap times.
Probably an Idiot question to you, but can you tell me which racing sim/game ist good for PC-beginner? Bzw which game was used in the video? I want to do more serious racing, until now I more did proper GTA racing (not with crashing, I am used to race as clean as possible), but now I want to try something more realistic Thx
@@luis_gbs GT Sport, Asseto Corsa, Asseto Corsa Competenzione, Project Cars 2. Rally games include the DiRT series, WRC, Collin McRae Rally. DiRT 4, DiRT Rally, DiRT Rally 2.0, and WRC 8 isn't to bad. If you like stockcar racing, you can try NASCAR Heat 4 but it's eh. There's tonnnnsssss of underrated games on PC that's good for a wheel but these are just the popular titles. In the end, it really depends on your driving style. If you want just simple driving overall, look around. If anyone even managed to read this far, hope this helps.
Driving defensively instead of having the raw speed to be competitive. If you move off the racing line in order to block passing attempts, then you can't complain when you get hit. Having the raw speed instead of "racecraft" makes life easier.
Best tip I've ever gotten when following someone closely. "Don't start braking when you get to your braking point, start braking when the person in front of you gets to it." This will assist you from not running the guy over in front possibly taking you both out it may also assist you set up a pass on the next straight as you were able to go slow in/fast out. It will also allow you to start braking hard and then letting up and modulating your brake pressure to maintain that same distance. Keeps the pressure on the guy in front as well.
@@ZoMTDU Exactly, he's relying too much on the grip, which you shouldn't do when you have a low grip car. He has made some *_sick_* Drifts before though, but he doesn't like to do them even though he would be an absolute Ace at it XD...
You are not breaking in the same spot that the one in front of you, you're breaking past that spot, there's a reaction time, that's where you lose time, copycat it's just to learn racing lines
prove your car to the limits but without damaging other car, to make the match sportive and balanced without any penalty. hate 'em slowdown penalty on Forza Horizon lmaooo
To anyone who reads this, I was told by a pro racing driver that the red and white stripes on the track are areas where you should almost never be on the gas or brake, referred to by drivers as "coasting zones". Do all the braking you need before them, and don't touch the gas until you pass them. This tactic has dramatically bettered my lap times in everything from Horizon 4 to F1 2020
Good tips! The stress factor is a big deal, I actually disabled the rear view mirror... And late braking is a common mistake, as a fast exit means higher straight speed for the next straight. And that means a lot. Project cars 2 has taught this to me with it's time difference display vs hotlap.
I feel you bro, I kinda drive in a similar way like that, but not because im nervious, It is actually necessary to keep the car on the track (in some certain situations, and depending on the atmosphere condition. Like when its rains and the track is wet and slippery, to mention an example) . Lol
Viperconcept: You shouldn't late brake, it isn't faster Me, screaming at the top of my lungs: S U P E R U L T R A L A T O B U R E E E A A K I N N N G G G G
I never get stressed while driving. But my adrenalin do pumps up when I do a important race or something like that. My hear started to beat so fast when driving with the street race boss in the crew 2. Yes I really waned that p1 and do it in the first try. And yes I did manage to win first try :)
Number 3 was my favorite. It literally spells out "Be your own racer". Here's 5 more beginner mistakes that I know about after playing racing sims. 1. Trying to fine tune your car without knowing how to use tunes and how the car's mechanisms and physics work. 2. Not driving enough laps on a track by yourself before racing opponents on the same track. 3. Braking too hard. 4. As soon as you wreck or spin out the first few times you rage quit and immediately switch cars and tracks instead of being consistent and learning how to practice and get good with the same settings. 5. Getting scared of your opponent when you're driving near them and driving evasively.
Number 1 on your list is why I've always used presets, and the only setup changes I make are in my NASCAR games where I sometimes change wedge and tire pressure. And I have a problem with driving "scared" around others in my F1 games. I don't really have a problem with that in NASCAR Heat 4 because even though the contact physics are broken as always, the cars are like tanks and I will move people out of the way myself if they're cutting me off and I've been behind them for long enough.
@@dylan9371 The key with driving next to an opponent is to simply treat other drivers like they are just obstacles that you don't want to hit or make a big deal about. The only way you should be driving is to maintain your own driving line. Keep your eyes forward on where you want to be and just drive towards it. Therefore, if an opponent drives next to you, they end up becoming the second thing you are focused on instead of the first.
It's called power sliding instead of drifting caused by his intention to regain racing line and to make the car straight back on the tarmac, drifting in the other hand is the way you intentionally makes the car turns at an angle in a corner. So power sliding is a form of correction and drifting is to make a controlled chaos (over steer) in a corner or hairpin. at least you learn new things everyday in automotive world...
10:00 that could be because the person is using a keyboard and not a steering wheel. On a keyboard you have to press and release the key over and over, you cannot hold it in place.
@Diecast Drifters not a Sim racing person but it seems he is playing multiple games one of them was Forza and f1. I have only played Forza 3 times so I do not know if those other shots are from Forza as well.
Relating to Number 2: Stress. I find I perform better when I'm not trying to race, but when I'm just trying to perform my best. The moment I try to race and am trying too hard, performance goes out the window for me. Probably more to do with patience than stress.
The number one thing for me, which isn't even mentioned in this video is ignoring the blue flags in Iracing, you'll be chasing down the leader and then some muppet who is about to be lapped and going two seconds a lap slower than you decides he's going to race you and try and block you at every opportunity, that pisses me off immensely.
When pressure is too high, I let the guy behind pass. Holding position whatever it costs often ruins the race for for drivers (with a legitimate shout of the other driver)
Julien Tripon yup you're right, sometimes i don't want to ruin driver behind me that have a lot more experience to race than me, so i'll just let them pass by. Mental plays role here
if I drive as fast as Williams and there is Mercedes behind me, I'll let him pass quickly as possible then drafting behind them. there is no point holding much faster car behind. if he is just slightly faster than I am that's when I practice my defending skill.
Yes, a relaxed mind is a fast mind. Montoya was a victim of stress. I remember seeing him have the same bad habit I had in trying to chase the guy who just passed him instead of focussing on the track and paying attention to his driving and letting THAT carry him to the back the his opponent.
Wow, Ive been driving using a wheel primarily in Gran Turismo for a few years now and I didn't even realize I was doing some of these mistakes. Thanks! Really appreciate the lesson
yeah it looks smoother with a wheel and with some hardcore racing games you just need a wheel to properly play the game... it depends wich game your playing
Its the same for me but with project cars. Even messing with controller deadzones, and button sensitivity everything is still to touchy with inputs on a controller. I enjoyed what little time i played the game but actually attempting to compete in higher class vehicles is just frustrating because you just seemingly cant keep up with whats going on or you somehow are overcorrecting
i'll be honest i can keep a semi decent pace, and i've seen drivers with controllers take a shit at people with wheels but it's hard to get to that level. I feel like u could do much more on a wheel
Somehow GT SPORT manage controller inputs very well. I recently start playing AC with dualshock 4 on pc, in order to share thought with friends who just joining racing game. And it's really pain in the a55 to control. I am still figuring out how to settings AC's controller inputs like GT series.
There're two thing that helped me. First thing which helped me was that i can take any car and especially easy track. Than go very slowley thru the track and practise is. Than, in second lap, trying to underatand car. When i started playing Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition with steering wheel, my first car was Mazda 787B and track was Barcelona GP ('cause i knew that track before). I started going slowley and that faster and faster and trying to learn from my mistakes. Now I am playing with Mazda 787B on Nürburgring Nordschleife 20,8 km circuit and it is very nice, I've learned from my mistakes and just playing. Second thing that helped me was disable all HUD systems (no minimap, no damage notifications, no lap time...) and just practising track and when I have a good session I'll just enable lap time and know my time. Reason why i disable HUD systems was for less stress caused by time and for more realistic gameplay. Now I am just trying another cars and tracks. Another game I am 'bout to try is Richard Burns Rally 'cause of its realistic physics. But I think that this tutorial was useful and I agree with starting with less powerful cars. Leaving like...
Another tip for beginners: When choosing a car, don't simply choose the one with the highest rating. Take the time to go through the stats and determine the best choice from there. For example, when you go to the dealer in NFS Heat, the highest rated car is the Koenigsegg Regera. It's great that it has 10s for both speed and acceleration, but it takes 1500hp to get those stats, which means the car is fairly heavy. However, if you buy something that is rated lower, but still has a lot of potential, such as the Miata that I have, and upgrade it later on, you will be a lot better off. My car has similar acceleration and top speed as the Regera, but it makes less than half the horsepower, which also means less than half the weight.
I'm not a beginner, but I do frequently watch these video's when I see them come out, because sometimes even experienced good drivers can make some common driving mistakes and learn from them. Don't ever think your too good to get better.
"look at the steering wheel" that's not all because of being nervous it's more because of being inexperienced and panicking when your car starts to slip and you haven't experienced that many times. Beginners look at videos like these and people like you make it even harder for them to improve.
Please note that i don't know a few of them, but since no one's answering you, i hope this will help you anyways. 0:17-0:38 don't know 0:39- 2:50 assetto corsa competizione 2:52-3:32 project cars 2 3:33-4:30 dirt rally 2.0 4:31-4:49 project cars 2 5:12-6:29 it has gran turismo 6 hud, but it looks more like a modded game, so maybe assetto corsa? 6:30- 7:14 wreckfest 7:25-9:23 still the modded game 9:24-end project cars 2
Eh, once you get some practice and a proper tune in, it becomes scarily easy, some of the cars i make in automation can be driven at 200kmh+ on b-road esque maps no problem (example: the mad ford rs200 replica i made, it is as stable as a continent), it mostly had a physics engine and tyre model that take some getting used to
On number 3 you could’ve taken that turn faster and definitely could’ve saved it if you didn’t brake and just coasted. You didn’t use the whole road when entering the corner like the other cars did and if you wouldnt have aggressively braked and turned because you weren’t on the track you wouldn’t have spun. This leads me to a better tip than imitating the opponents which you should’ve done in that scenario which is over-correcting when you make a small mistake. This is probably one of the number one reasons drivers crash in real life. Sometimes instead of braking or hitting the gas you just need to coast to straighten things out.
I noticed he used the inside kerb on the long, uphill, right hander at Hungaroring. The all white kerb That's a big no no in F1, same as the inside kerb at Bahrain before heading to the final turn. Both kerbs will spin an F1 car. I believe there is a spot like that at Catalunya as well.
I miss the most important thing Know your car The weight of the car, its agility, its traction, etc. And also the latest in the Video The theory of curves is taught to you in Gran turismo Like the ideal traces
NICE VIDEO :) It reminded me of my childhood. I kept on making exactly the same mistakes as a beginner. But since I tried Karting in a real life everything was much easier because you can really learn all the basics about racing and it’s a lot of fun too.
The first tip. You make a valid point that you should use the width of the road to your advantage. What I feel you failed to do is to explain why. "to follow a better racing line" Most people will probably understand, more or less what you mean but total beginner... Probably not. So if there is any beginners out there reading this then this is why: On a straight road you can drive fast. Corners on the other hand forces you to slow down so you don't lose control of your car. This means that you should always try to have your car go as straight as you can, even through corners. For instance. When the road turns to the right you should position the car as far left as you can before entering the turn. You break hard just before the turn (depending on car, angle of the turn, weather conditions etc) then steer as steep as you can towards the inner curb of the turn. As soon as the car are pointing towards the inner curb you straighten out and start going straight through the corner. This means that from that point on you will probably just have to make small enough corrections to the heading of the car that you can start accelerating. By doing that you should be traveling alot faster when leaving the turn than if you had stayed in the middle of the road throughout the whole turn. Disclaimer. I'm a total racing noob so nothing I say should be considered gospel. Alot of it is probably false or at the least explained in such a terrible way that it doesn't make sense.
There is also what I call “pummel the brakes” beginners often do. When they brake, they push the brakes as hard as they can. This often results in either the car stopping completely and therefore ruin corner times, or the car spinning out of control. The correct way to do that is by slowly lifting off throttle and then gently brake. This will allow you to control braking more consistently.
@@hampusnilsson9124 Not always. Also, this guy thinks for some reason that you don't stay on gas or brake as much as possible so why would I mention a more advanced technique? Lol It really depends on the car and the turn though.
@@SheetFiber It's absolutely not only for endurance racing, my dude. It's to combat understeer by keeping more weight on the front tires during turn in, so it depends on the balance of the car.
I always focus on the track , instead of opponent. I’m their pressure when I’m behind them tail. But I don’t care for position , iI care for my endurance in the tarmac. But I lost interest in multiplayer , lot of Dirty Shingo.
Yo, ViperConcept, I had an idea for a video after watching yours about the dangers of Nurburgring kerbs. I think a cool video idea would be to go through some difficult turns on different tracks and explain why they’re difficult and how to take them/car setups to make it easier.
My friend is very guilty of #4. He loves the McLaren P1, and Pagani Huayra, and will want to drive these, if available. Thing is, he only recently got into racing games. While he had some experience before (big fan of the first NFS Shift and GRID on Xbox), he REALLY got into racing games when I told him to play Gran Turismo. He got GT5 for his PS3 (and this was just a few years ago, not when the game launched), and really liked it. But since no GT game has the P1, he tries other games, even Project CARS and Assetto Corsa, to drive it. Really, he should be driving one of MY favorite cars: the Miata
This video is amazing, the viewer can easily understand what you are trying to say, I can admit I've done a few of these mistakes when I was a beginner, and although I don't classify myself as a professional, I can say I'm experienced and still do mistakes. My dream is to be a NASCAR driver, so any tips will work. Thank you for this video, and congratulations on hitting 1M+ views! Keep up the great work! (P.S.: You earned my sub!) 👍🏻🔥🏎
Strange, back when I bought Grand Prix Legends, I had more difficulty with the lower powered versions, than the full powered versions of the cars. Maybe it's the way I drive, the power helps when accelerating around corners. It's similar with Assetto Corsa, I find the slower cars harder to drive than the modern supercars, GT2 and GT3 cars. Or maybe it's a tendency to over brake at first. The biggest mistake I've ever seen from someone, was to not brake for the corners at all.
Arcade racer here, I play the need for speed series and I have to tell you all some addutional advice: 1.In racing do not hesitate on decisions, racing requires your focus and precision. 2. Racing line is always important, they can help you alot in corners in entry and exit, if you have a visual racing line on, do not delay your braking, it will mess up your racing line and slow your lap time. 3. Stay calm and relax, like no.1, racing requires focus and precision when an opponent passes, do not panic, strategize in how to retake your position, once you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to do so since it's a split second moment.
I'm little proud for myself. Even though I played so far only 1 true racing simulator ( i think its called STTC The game), and I played, or I still play Forza Horizons, Asphalt Xtreme, Trackmania Turbo, I use and know all these things. The best example is the Asphalt Xtreme, though its arcade. You have classes there, and each one has different approaches to the race. So for instance, while rally cars can easily full speed tight corners, muscle cars NEVER! And also, some of these tricks and rules apply to ALL RACING GAMES. Like the rule with finding race path. Its simple, effective, must do rule. So, very good video ! ;)
@@mortenfrosthansen84 The way you apply Gilles Technique you have to remember when you Brake quite late the Car is going to Slide (a lot) you gotta Counter Steer & use Senna's Technique (which was actually invented by Jim Clark & used by Keke Rosberg aswell) of stabbing the Throttle, UA-cam & Google is filled by how to use it properly & lots, lots of Practise & remember it works on Cars with no Downforce like the Lotus 49 with Cars with Little Downforce like 70's F1 Cars, it works with higher Downforce Cars aswell like Lotus 79, 98t, GT3, GT1 Cars but I have been Unsuccessful in using this Technique on Modern F1, Endurance Cars but with Practise I think it will Work. :)

Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it. I am an experienced sim racer but I do still make mistakes and have a bit of stress especially when racing online. Your video is on point. Thanks again.
I’m not a beginner anymore, but this video was still really interesting because I found that I have done all of these mistakes myself when is was a beginner. Especially that one with the overpowered cars. And oh my god, nothing feels more rewarding than after lots and lots of training, coming back to the Bugatti Veyron and drive a clean and perfectly controlled sub 7 lap on the Nürburgring.
So true!! As for #3, it would be #1 when you go to a track day, because you can ruin your car or even get seriously injured if you don’t follow your own car’s limit and specs. especially when there are huge difference between weight distribution, engine displacement, grip etc. it changes each cars racing line, break point so differently. Just follow your own pace and don’t, never push it. You improve by observing, data mining and having a coach sitting next to you, not by pushing and getting killed.
I actually did laugh here cuz it honestly is one of my problems I end up spinning out because of that often and it’s hilarious how he just still didn’t while I’d just overcorrect and smash a wall or two lmao Maybe it’s got to do with ffb settings, I just don’t know when I should start correcting the car (would be glad if someone could share their settings for the G27 in AC or PC2)
Ooorrr, start with 4 years of hotlapping in Grand Prix Legends before online racing. Just kidding, but I had to because of weak computer. But this way, bad fps included, I learned the hard way. Lines first, even did drive laps without braking to see what I need to do. Corner exits first, then braking, then laptimes. Still use it on every new track/car combo. Great video, thanks.
Advice I was given; The day you think you know everything about racing is the day you should stop driving. Ive found the biggest help was having the right control input settings. Understanding multiple deadzones in steering braking and throttle will help immeasurably when trying to button down suspension tunes. If you're car acts weird/unrealistic when out of control, then your controller settings are off.

@@quintonalford8589 I think you missed the joke
When you start, focus on consistency rather than speed. If you do a 1:07 lap then a 1:15 then a 1:14 then a 1:05 you may walk away thinking you’ve done a quick lap but really, you’re going past your limits and hoping to get lucky. You’ll struggle to improve if you do this.
Instead, slow down and try to consistently hit a lap time a second or two slower. Once you can do that lap time without mistakes 5 times in a row, try to brake slightly later or get on the throttle slightly earlier to gain a bit of time and so on.... You’ll eventually be able to do a quick lap consistently and in a race, that’s what you need to be able to do.
You know how it is sometimes though, you go in pretty hot, set a good pace then throw off your mojo by pushing too hard then you’re out for the next lap
You can learn how to be consistent while going fast
Thanks for the tips

I find my best lap timea generally happen when I've basically zoned out and stopped focusing on getting the right line or being in the right gear. If I simply drive the car, I go faster.
Holy shit, yes. I play GT sport and when my mind just starts wandering i'll kind of come back to my senses only to notice i just finished getting my fastest lap times in the race. It makes no sense.
Jorge Lorenzo Moto GP champion said that he cant focus in what he is doing , he had to do it without think
Some people are just able to preform like this
I think that's what people actually mean for "focus", it's this state of zoning out and just doing it, when people think of focusing they refer to that state but in practice when they focus is actually overthinking, so they start actually trying to over correct everything which leads to more problems.
This is why I listen to music while racing. My mind focuses on the song while my subconscious takes care of driving. A caveat though; one must know the track for this to work. While learning a circuit, or a car for that matter, if you don’t focus you’ll be in a wall.
One day, my father beat me on Gran Turismo 5, I used an AC Cobra fully prepared and he chooses a Catheram with full suspension and full gearbox kits, he won, I told how he did it, my car was more powerful, he said "sometimes, power doesn't always count, experience is important too"
I will always remember that
@@SpideyOnPSN Dude what are you talking about? AC Cobra (Or Shelby Cobra) is a small and nimble car.With only 90 inch wheelbase and less than a ton of kerb wight its a monster. In GT 5 Available Caterham was 7 Fireblade with the motorbike engine instead of the standard Ford Pinto one. With 350kg weight and 170 or so hp its a monster on the track, especially with the gearbox upgrade as standard one was a tad too long. You're right about the power to weight advantage, but remember that Caterham has much smaller Torque than AC. I think it was both: well chosen (and possibly balanced) car as well as experience.
Caterham is a beast , mostly underrated but still a force to be reckon with
David Fogel Yes but think about this, the caterham is literally a cage with an engine and wheels. Light af
@@paffomi5110 I fully agree lad. Wanted to build one myself, even have original plans.

Same
exactly my thought process when I saw this video on my feed
But we don't know about you, whether ur a beginner or professional.
Same!
I think a lot of people stay in the centre of the track not because of them wanting to stay on the track, but rather get scared of grass or gravel runoffs just beyond the track limits. Beginners do follow the racing line but abuse the hell out of track limits when it comes to tracks with tarmac run-off.
Yeah but these two reasons are pretty much the same...
I abuse track limits because a buddy of mine told me there was an extra 10th of a second somewhere out in the run off
True

Brake early, so you can brake smoothly. When cornering, don't put the power on until you know you won't have to take it off again. My tips to anyone who asks and is struggling.
What about the blipping the throttle technique though?
@@kami_narisama For show offs and Senna wanna-bes. It was technique unique to Senna (at the time) and in the real world outside of Rally you will never see any driver use it. Sim drivers love doing it as it makes us feel awesome. It's probably not as detrimental to a laptime in a sim car as it would be irl, and i doubt with all the modern tech in race cars these days it's very useful. In the old turbo era it was supposedly to keep the cars on boost, but Senna ran out of fuel in a lot of his turbo era races. That was the trade off for the insane speed he had with it.
@@McSenna1979 ah alright man thanks for the input. I was thinking if anyone still used this technique nowadays and you explain it concise enough for me to understand
Or just brake late bump in the opponent to slow you down and send them offroad...
Gran turismo logic...
@@McSenna1979 ah you mentioned about rally, what's the bemefit of them throttle blipping? Is it like how Senna use it sometimes (as a way to get traction)?
9:46 it's just rallye
Well done. An important top 5.
Some additional tips for beginners:
1) Drive your car of choice in it's stock form before tuning it. This will allow you to see how you can improve performance and tailor the car to your driving style.
2) To reiterate on driving lines; stick with the outside-in method (approach left turn from right, and right from left) until you learn the track at hand, and the driving line will reveal itself.
3) Most people use many different cars. Pay attention to drive-train (RWD, FWD, AWD, front/mid/rear engine, etc.) Knowing is half the battle... Sometimes more.
4) Turn driving aids off. The car will speak to you in it's natural form and grant you god-like insight.
5) Invest in a wheel/pedal set if you can. It's easy to drive aggressively and drift with a controller, but use a wheel so you can fully understand what's going on.
6) Save replays and watch them again. You will see your mistakes and improve much more efficiently.
7) Make friends in online lobbies. If you want to actually race, join a racing lobby -not a free run/practice lobby.
8) ... KOBE!
cause why tf not??
Oh I forgot... Throttle control. Understeer's worst nightmare. This is on a per-vehicle basis. Knowing when to "let off" and go "flat out" can drastically change lap times.
Probably an Idiot question to you, but can you tell me which racing sim/game ist good for PC-beginner? Bzw which game was used in the video?

@@moaimachines8290 Thx
Driving defensively instead of having the raw speed to be competitive. If you move off the racing line in order to block passing attempts, then you can't complain when you get hit. Having the raw speed instead of "racecraft" makes life easier.
Best tip I've ever gotten when following someone closely. "Don't start braking when you get to your braking point, start braking when the person in front of you gets to it." This will assist you from not running the guy over in front possibly taking you both out it may also assist you set up a pass on the next straight as you were able to go slow in/fast out. It will also allow you to start braking hard and then letting up and modulating your brake pressure to maintain that same distance. Keeps the pressure on the guy in front as well.

Drifting its always slower
Especially in Historical Cup in GT40

Same.
Id like to say its somewhat as a guide especially if the car were evenly matched but id tend to use road markings rather than opponents.
You just gotta use your sixth sense
You are not breaking in the same spot that the one in front of you, you're breaking past that spot, there's a reaction time, that's where you lose time, copycat it's just to learn racing lines
prove your car to the limits but without damaging other car, to make the match sportive and balanced without any penalty. hate 'em slowdown penalty on Forza Horizon lmaooo
To anyone who reads this, I was told by a pro racing driver that the red and white stripes on the track are areas where you should almost never be on the gas or brake, referred to by drivers as "coasting zones". Do all the braking you need before them, and don't touch the gas until you pass them. This tactic has dramatically bettered my lap times in everything from Horizon 4 to F1 2020
Good tips! The stress factor is a big deal, I actually disabled the rear view mirror... And late braking is a common mistake, as a fast exit means higher straight speed for the next straight. And that means a lot. Project cars 2 has taught this to me with it's time difference display vs hotlap.

Number 3 was my favorite. It literally spells out "Be your own racer". Here's 5 more beginner mistakes that I know about after playing racing sims.
1. Trying to fine tune your car without knowing how to use tunes and how the car's mechanisms and physics work.
2. Not driving enough laps on a track by yourself before racing opponents on the same track.
3. Braking too hard.
4. As soon as you wreck or spin out the first few times you rage quit and immediately switch cars and tracks instead of being consistent and learning how to practice and get good with the same settings.
5. Getting scared of your opponent when you're driving near them and driving evasively.
Number 1 on your list is why I've always used presets, and the only setup changes I make are in my NASCAR games where I sometimes change wedge and tire pressure.
And I have a problem with driving "scared" around others in my F1 games. I don't really have a problem with that in NASCAR Heat 4 because even though the contact physics are broken as always, the cars are like tanks and I will move people out of the way myself if they're cutting me off and I've been behind them for long enough.
@@dylan9371 The key with driving next to an opponent is to simply treat other drivers like they are just obstacles that you don't want to hit or make a big deal about. The only way you should be driving is to maintain your own driving line. Keep your eyes forward on where you want to be and just drive towards it. Therefore, if an opponent drives next to you, they end up becoming the second thing you are focused on instead of the first.
5 is literally me 😂
9:30 looks like he was trying to drift....
Would be fine if the car was set up for Hoshidori, but given the number of corrections, I doubt it
Maybe he's using keyboard?
It's called power sliding instead of drifting caused by his intention to regain racing line and to make the car straight back on the tarmac, drifting in the other hand is the way you intentionally makes the car turns at an angle in a corner. So power sliding is a form of correction and drifting is to make a controlled chaos (over steer) in a corner or hairpin. at least you learn new things everyday in automotive world...
10:00 that could be because the person is using a keyboard and not a steering wheel. On a keyboard you have to press and release the key over and over, you cannot hold it in place.
@Diecast Drifters not a Sim racing person but it seems he is playing multiple games one of them was Forza and f1. I have only played Forza 3 times so I do not know if those other shots are from Forza as well.
@Diecast Drifters Oh, I see. Heard a lot about that game but never played it because I was told it is more suited for people with a wheel.
I'm offended my youtube algorithm thought this video was for me
Hahahahahahha
Relating to Number 2: Stress. I find I perform better when I'm not trying to race, but when I'm just trying to perform my best. The moment I try to race and am trying too hard, performance goes out the window for me. Probably more to do with patience than stress.
The number one thing for me, which isn't even mentioned in this video is ignoring the blue flags in Iracing, you'll be chasing down the leader and then some muppet who is about to be lapped and going two seconds a lap slower than you decides he's going to race you and try and block you at every opportunity, that pisses me off immensely.
Also faster cars divebombing a slower class car in multiclass racing in a Endurance race that isn't even halfway done.
Seems like my biggest problem is stress
Especially when i try to hold the position. Always got a pressure :D
When pressure is too high, I let the guy behind pass. Holding position whatever it costs often ruins the race for for drivers (with a legitimate shout of the other driver)
Julien Tripon yup you're right, sometimes i don't want to ruin driver behind me that have a lot more experience to race than me, so i'll just let them pass by.
Mental plays role here
tfw you're in first place after hard won battle through the grid. Now you suddenly forgot how to take turn 3.
if I drive as fast as Williams and there is Mercedes behind me, I'll let him pass quickly as possible then drafting behind them. there is no point holding much faster car behind.
if he is just slightly faster than I am that's when I practice my defending skill.
When someone is close behind me, i tend to screw up too
Yes, a relaxed mind is a fast mind.
Montoya was a victim of stress. I remember seeing him have the same bad habit I had in trying to chase the guy who just passed him instead of focussing on the track and paying attention to his driving and letting THAT carry him to the back the his opponent.

There're two thing that helped me. First thing which helped me was that i can take any car and especially easy track. Than go very slowley thru the track and practise is. Than, in second lap, trying to underatand car. When i started playing Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition with steering wheel, my first car was Mazda 787B and track was Barcelona GP ('cause i knew that track before). I started going slowley and that faster and faster and trying to learn from my mistakes. Now I am playing with Mazda 787B on Nürburgring Nordschleife 20,8 km circuit and it is very nice, I've learned from my mistakes and just playing. Second thing that helped me was disable all HUD systems (no minimap, no damage notifications, no lap time...) and just practising track and when I have a good session I'll just enable lap time and know my time. Reason why i disable HUD systems was for less stress caused by time and for more realistic gameplay. Now I am just trying another cars and tracks. Another game I am 'bout to try is Richard Burns Rally 'cause of its realistic physics. But I think that this tutorial was useful and I agree with starting with less powerful cars. Leaving like...
Another tip for beginners: When choosing a car, don't simply choose the one with the highest rating. Take the time to go through the stats and determine the best choice from there. For example, when you go to the dealer in NFS Heat, the highest rated car is the Koenigsegg Regera. It's great that it has 10s for both speed and acceleration, but it takes 1500hp to get those stats, which means the car is fairly heavy. However, if you buy something that is rated lower, but still has a lot of potential, such as the Miata that I have, and upgrade it later on, you will be a lot better off. My car has similar acceleration and top speed as the Regera, but it makes less than half the horsepower, which also means less than half the weight.

I'm not a beginner, but I do frequently watch these video's when I see them come out, because sometimes even experienced good drivers can make some common driving mistakes and learn from them. Don't ever think your too good to get better.
"look at the steering wheel" that's not all because of being nervous it's more because of being inexperienced and panicking when your car starts to slip and you haven't experienced that many times. Beginners look at videos like these and people like you make it even harder for them to improve.

On number 3 you could’ve taken that turn faster and definitely could’ve saved it if you didn’t brake and just coasted. You didn’t use the whole road when entering the corner like the other cars did and if you wouldnt have aggressively braked and turned because you weren’t on the track you wouldn’t have spun. This leads me to a better tip than imitating the opponents which you should’ve done in that scenario which is over-correcting when you make a small mistake. This is probably one of the number one reasons drivers crash in real life. Sometimes instead of braking or hitting the gas you just need to coast to straighten things out.
I'm new to using a steering wheel and absolutely loved this. I could see my errors just by watching this video. Thank you.

And also the latest in the Video The theory of curves is taught to you in Gran turismo
Like the ideal traces
2:54 I love that song! Colin McRae 2.0 my favorite rally game
NICE VIDEO :) It reminded me of my childhood. I kept on making exactly the same mistakes as a beginner. But since I tried Karting in a real life everything was much easier because you can really learn all the basics about racing and it’s a lot of fun too.
The first tip.
You make a valid point that you should use the width of the road to your advantage.
What I feel you failed to do is to explain why.
"to follow a better racing line"
Most people will probably understand, more or less what you mean but total beginner... Probably not.
So if there is any beginners out there reading this then this is why:
On a straight road you can drive fast.
Corners on the other hand forces you to slow down so you don't lose control of your car.
This means that you should always try to have your car go as straight as you can, even through corners.
For instance. When the road turns to the right you should position the car as far left as you can before entering the turn.
You break hard just before the turn (depending on car, angle of the turn, weather conditions etc) then steer as steep as you can towards the inner curb of the turn. As soon as the car are pointing towards the inner curb you straighten out and start going straight through the corner. This means that from that point on you will probably just have to make small enough corrections to the heading of the car that you can start accelerating.
By doing that you should be traveling alot faster when leaving the turn than if you had stayed in the middle of the road throughout the whole turn.
Disclaimer.
I'm a total racing noob so nothing I say should be considered gospel. Alot of it is probably false or at the least explained in such a terrible way that it doesn't make sense.
0:46 My problem is the complete opposite, I tend to jump over kerbs and go off-roading even in real life karting
for this, you might wanna ease off the pedal on sharp corners, and try NOT to brake when in light corners so u can slide through without losing speed

There is also what I call “pummel the brakes” beginners often do. When they brake, they push the brakes as hard as they can. This often results in either the car stopping completely and therefore ruin corner times, or the car spinning out of control. The correct way to do that is by slowly lifting off throttle and then gently brake. This will allow you to control braking more consistently.
You should be braking as hard as you can in racing, bud. As late and as fast as possible.
J S but not hold it, gently lift of the brake more and more, trailbraking into corners
@@hampusnilsson9124 Not always. Also, this guy thinks for some reason that you don't stay on gas or brake as much as possible so why would I mention a more advanced technique? Lol It really depends on the car and the turn though.
slowly lifting off throttle and then gently brake -> this is for endurance racing to save fuel and parts.
@@SheetFiber It's absolutely not only for endurance racing, my dude. It's to combat understeer by keeping more weight on the front tires during turn in, so it depends on the balance of the car.
Great video! Thanks for the helpful tips my friend! Oh and I loved the little jazz tune at the end
Everybody wanted to use the Escudo back in the GT days. You could miss the curves but you caught up to them on the straights.
I always focus on the track , instead of opponent. I’m their pressure when I’m behind them tail. But I don’t care for position , iI care for my endurance in the tarmac. But I lost interest in multiplayer , lot of Dirty Shingo.
whats the name of game in 4:02 ?
URBAN URBAN
Dirt Rally 2.0
Yo, ViperConcept, I had an idea for a video after watching yours about the dangers of Nurburgring kerbs. I think a cool video idea would be to go through some difficult turns on different tracks and explain why they’re difficult and how to take them/car setups to make it easier.
He actually did a video like that a while ago
My friend is very guilty of #4. He loves the McLaren P1, and Pagani Huayra, and will want to drive these, if available.
Thing is, he only recently got into racing games. While he had some experience before (big fan of the first NFS Shift and GRID on Xbox), he REALLY got into racing games when I told him to play Gran Turismo. He got GT5 for his PS3 (and this was just a few years ago, not when the game launched), and really liked it.
But since no GT game has the P1, he tries other games, even Project CARS and Assetto Corsa, to drive it.
Really, he should be driving one of MY favorite cars: the Miata
This video is amazing, the viewer can easily understand what you are trying to say, I can admit I've done a few of these mistakes when I was a beginner, and although I don't classify myself as a professional, I can say I'm experienced and still do mistakes. My dream is to be a NASCAR driver, so any tips will work. Thank you for this video, and congratulations on hitting 1M+ views! Keep up the great work! (P.S.: You earned my sub!) 👍🏻🔥🏎
2:43 gta 5 called they want their glitch back
5:15 love that sound on headphones
Strange, back when I bought Grand Prix Legends, I had more difficulty with the lower powered versions, than the full powered versions of the cars. Maybe it's the way I drive, the power helps when accelerating around corners. It's similar with Assetto Corsa, I find the slower cars harder to drive than the modern supercars, GT2 and GT3 cars. Or maybe it's a tendency to over brake at first. The biggest mistake I've ever seen from someone, was to not brake for the corners at all.
Arcade racer here, I play the need for speed series and I have to tell you all some addutional advice:
1.In racing do not hesitate on decisions, racing requires your focus and precision.
2. Racing line is always important, they can help you alot in corners in entry and exit, if you have a visual racing line on, do not delay your braking, it will mess up your racing line and slow your lap time.
3. Stay calm and relax, like no.1, racing requires focus and precision when an opponent passes, do not panic, strategize in how to retake your position, once you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to do so since it's a split second moment.
I'm little proud for myself. Even though I played so far only 1 true racing simulator ( i think its called STTC The game), and I played, or I still play Forza Horizons, Asphalt Xtreme, Trackmania Turbo, I use and know all these things. The best example is the Asphalt Xtreme, though its arcade. You have classes there, and each one has different approaches to the race. So for instance, while rally cars can easily full speed tight corners, muscle cars NEVER! And also, some of these tricks and rules apply to ALL RACING GAMES. Like the rule with finding race path. Its simple, effective, must do rule. So, very good video ! ;)
5:11-6:29 What's that game? Is it AC?
Mathieu Poulin yes, AC with GT6 hud and SOL and custom shaders pack I believe
@@ej22_gc86 Ah I was so confused about why it had GT6s HUD
JoshsoJB that’s what AC needed tbh
A properly good looking HUD
Viper concept: Late Braking won't make you Faster.
Gilles Villeneuve: I'm going to ruin this whole man's career.
JK man, thank you for your Advice. :)
Forza Horizon: Another player = braking target.
Not in horizon.. you'll get ghosted. But I get spun or nudged into trees a lot
@@mortenfrosthansen84 The way you apply Gilles Technique you have to remember when you Brake quite late the Car is going to Slide (a lot) you gotta Counter Steer & use Senna's Technique (which was actually invented by Jim Clark & used by Keke Rosberg aswell) of stabbing the Throttle, UA-cam & Google is filled by how to use it properly & lots, lots of Practise & remember it works on Cars with no Downforce like the Lotus 49 with Cars with Little Downforce like 70's F1 Cars, it works with higher Downforce Cars aswell like Lotus 79, 98t, GT3, GT1 Cars but I have been Unsuccessful in using this Technique on Modern F1, Endurance Cars but with Practise I think it will Work. :)
@@mubarakahmad8936 I only use that, when driving a turbo car.. in tight corners, to keep boost ready.
I was replying to Forza Horizon comment. you can meet terrible drivers everywhere
@@mortenfrosthansen84 Na I don't mind it, I'm chill. :D
Its nice to see that you used a competizione for this vid.
Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it. I am an experienced sim racer but I do still make mistakes and have a bit of stress especially when racing online. Your video is on point. Thanks again.
Thanks for the tips!
9:29 it's look like you want to go your girlfriend house because she tell you her parents are not on the house at the moment
me: ok I'm gonna play some race games
also my body: time to the most annoying itches to rise up

I believe it's Assetto Corsa, a mod though
@@reapz4761 AC? Where I can find that mod?

I’m not a beginner anymore, but this video was still really interesting because I found that I have done all of these mistakes myself when is was a beginner. Especially that one with the overpowered cars. And oh my god, nothing feels more rewarding than after lots and lots of training, coming back to the Bugatti Veyron and drive a clean and perfectly controlled sub 7 lap on the Nürburgring.
So true!! As for #3, it would be #1 when you go to a track day, because you can ruin your car or even get seriously injured if you don’t follow your own car’s limit and specs. especially when there are huge difference between weight distribution, engine displacement, grip etc. it changes each cars racing line, break point so differently. Just follow your own pace and don’t, never push it. You improve by observing, data mining and having a coach sitting next to you, not by pushing and getting killed.
Awesome! Now just the steering wheel is missing :(

Look for good deals on pre-owned wheels. They can go for really cheap sometimes!

i just wanted it to try it without taking off with your comment
I actually did laugh here cuz it honestly is one of my problems
I end up spinning out because of that often and it’s hilarious how he just still didn’t while I’d just overcorrect and smash a wall or two lmao
Maybe it’s got to do with ffb settings, I just don’t know when I should start correcting the car
(would be glad if someone could share their settings for the G27 in AC or PC2)
@@ej22_gc86 i laughed as well cause I'm like that when I play AC
That was so my earlier me when I first tried the C63 AMG in the rain in Project Cars 2 :D
10:05 damn he even knew I was laughing 😂
Ooorrr, start with 4 years of hotlapping in Grand Prix Legends before online racing. Just kidding, but I had to because of weak computer. But this way, bad fps included, I learned the hard way. Lines first, even did drive laps without braking to see what I need to do. Corner exits first, then braking, then laptimes. Still use it on every new track/car combo. Great video, thanks.
Advice I was given; The day you think you know everything about racing is the day you should stop driving.
Ive found the biggest help was having the right control input settings. Understanding multiple deadzones in steering braking and throttle will help immeasurably when trying to button down suspension tunes. If you're car acts weird/unrealistic when out of control, then your controller settings are off.
