Will Expensive Sim Racing Gear Make Me Faster Than A PRO

- Will EXPENSIVE sim racing gear actually make you faster? This is a question that is on everyone's mind, every time they buy expensive sim racing gear such as load cell pedals and direct drive wheel bases. Today I raced against a PRO sim racing coach to try and find that answer out for myself.
Thanks to @SuellioAlmeida for taking part!

YOOO that was super fun!
I gotta fix that Quest 2 resolution though, looked like PS2 lmao
Looking forward for the next videos from this series 💪
Such a good collab, used a bunch of your tips from reddit and youtube to improve my driving over the past 6 months. Such a good racer Suellio
with part 2 you should use 24'' 1080 60hz screen vr too op
@@vjollila96 vr is really not op most of the people who use vr enjoy more the sensation of driving but are a little bit slower than on a normal screen
manda um alo, pra gente em portugues!
you f8cking amazing man!
Great video. I think with sim racing there's a lower tier of products that I see very fast drivers use like the T300RS. The returns in lap time start to diminish quite quickly after that level of product. One thing I do think can make you quicker and something I always recommend to people is load cell pedals. There's so much time to be gained under braking it's not funny and load cell pedals give you a slight advantage as you'll be much more accurate with pressure than you can be with pedal distance traveled.
100% load cell pedals are a must. I think we must be getting to the time soon where they’ll be cheap enough to be entry level!
Thanks for commenting again 😁
What an awesome collab. Didnt see this one coming. Suellio is such a great driver and I personally follow alot of his advice and tips. Hows the simucube setup been? Must be incredible.
He is incredible! I did some tuition after and my iRating has thanked me for it 😂 The Simucube is AMAZING. Honestly, its a jump from anything else ive used in terms of FFB. Its buttery smooth. I’ll be doing a full review in the coming months :)
Meanwhile back at the Bat-cave, I'd seen this one kid kill driving games with a controller beating guys with wheels...It was crazy
The edits just keep getting better!
I’m learning from the best!
Great video, I was wondering if you’re thinking about doing a review on the new thrustmaster shifter (TH8S) and if you were it would be any time soon?
Suellio makes some great points about breaking in game and I'd have to agree.
That being said, all of that is missing when you use a controller.
People laugh at me, when I tell them, to understand racing (just driving even), you first have to learn how to ride a bike.
Understanding the physics, of rotating two thin points of grip, without completely spinning out and eating it, gives you the foundation needed to control powered vehicles.
The first time I drove, was an auto minivan on gravel, around the age of 11/12. I knew long pedal was gas and short pedal was break, took the concepts from riding my bike on different surfaces and went.
Now I take that all, project it onto what I'm interpreting from the sim and hope it translates through the controller. Here's where you have to think like Ray about it... it's just "way she goes" because in real life, the accidents I've had are always down to 3 factors: #1 focus/tiredness/other energy #2 something new I've never experienced/new or changing environment #3 Mechanical/structural/other events outside my control.
In sim, the only time I'm not spinning out or crashing, is when I'm completely focused.
I love racing. It's been a part of my life, for as long as I can remember. But unfortunately, I can't make my brain care enough to complete my billionth lap around digital Laguna Seca. Wheel or no wheel, pedals or controller.
And it's not a entitlement thing either, I'm rabid to get in a sim any time I have to go without my own.
It's literally: "Brain see computer image, no threat detected. Simulation of time exhausting and boring."
Then two seconds later:
"Brain can't care, so Brain spinning car... Brain unhappy with Brain, because Brain spin car."
super good video, thanks
Really liked the video, even though I already know the anwser to this question. Great work by you to
Thanks mate, much appreciated!
My guess is that’s it’s all matter of getting used to what you use. The brakes can make you quicker because of bigger feel of braking like Suellio said. I’ve upgraded from a TMX Pro to à Moza R9 bundle with load cells and for the moment I don’t feel quicker than I was. What I noticed is that I’m much more confident and consistent on braking. The wheel information detail of oversteering and understeering helps me a lot to brake later and stronger. Other than that it’s all up to how your used to it.
Hey mate, what’s you Irating? I’m thinking of grabbing that same kit and currently have a t300, are you honestly not improving at all??
I’ll be getting load cell pedals too
@@SuperDRAY88 2.8k at the moment, not so high but it’s starting to get decent races
I just started sim racing and don’t even have force feedback and I really want to get a force feedback wheel but I don’t know if I should get the g920 or save up and get a better wheel. But I can’t even afford to get the g920 yet
My thrustmaster T300RS was a little under 300 bucks, so i guess you could go even more budget.
I still yet to try a direct drive wheel but i know if ibhad one i could be a bit faster since my current wheel limits me on some turns soecially the very fast direction ones you feel how the wheel has some lag and definitely messes with your lap time.
I myself have a Thrustmaster T150 which cost me 150€ and I tried it with a higher class Thrustmaster that was around 700€ at the time and I can say for me that the hardware made such a huge difference its insane.
I had a g27 and going to belt fanatec csw 2.5 and clubsport pedals such a game changer but i hate the software
He is so quick. Damn.
Imagine if he was actually using his normal kit 💀
I think green hell nordschliefe isn't the good example to compar
The track is traditional very difficult
I think an populaire track like Monza (stop and go ) or spa will be enough
I'd love to race on Nurburgring against you, Doc... maybe one day
I’m seriously conjuring up a hilarious video idea for a community race.. Make sure to follow my insta as i’m most active on there (im also open to ideas!)
OMG over 10k subs!!!
This was awesome 😁
Thank you!! It was very fun to take part in 😁
You should do a campus c5 review
I have…
biggest difference is pedal imo. ye sure wheel more precise, but braking is soooo important
Both doods probably did not run nordschleife enough to cleanly race it. 😂 You need to memorize the inconsistencies in the road as well since it can potentially ruin the run. Small bumps here and there especially those cars are faster there are times that track is causing lift underneath.
But I guess it's also not a good track for the comparison.
Huge fan of Suellio but he shouldve done a single monitor. Vr is really expensive and not beginner friendly
You can get a quest 2 for like $200, basically a monitor
@MCOGroupNews then you need a vr ready pc which runs at minimum like 1k
@@Jumbocombo Nope. I got my PC which less than $500. And runs well in iracing.
@@syahmiazri4246 a $500 pc that runs vr?
Yeah, iRacing really doesn’t ask much of a PC
That was a pretty tight battle. You're kinda on his level right? 😅
I’m no slouch, but I’m impatient and still have a lot to learn 😂 He sat a laptime afterwards that was many seconds faster than me, but in my defence, when I filmed this I had been awake for 22 hours 💀
La comparazione più esatta sarebbe da fare con lo stesso pilota per le 2 postazioni perché conta molto molto anche il pilota non solo l hardware
now i feel bad about my g29
Really don't. I just sold my G29 for just over a third of the price I paid for it 18 months ago. I bought a Fanatec CSL DD, Mclaren Wheel and a set of Fanatec load cell pedals plus some bits. With shipping to the UK it cost me the best part of a £1000 as opposed to the three hundred I paid for the G29. I had modified the brake pedal on the G29 using a very high density rubber to simulate a load cell. This was in May. I would say that the pedals make only a slight difference because once properly set up (I took a lot of care to get it right) the G29 one's can work very well. I had no brake pedal movement until I applied real pressure and I set the input in the software to match. It has taken me until now to see my lap times appreciably lowering but, and it is a big one, because I invested so much cash in the Fanatec setup I also invested more of the real "magic" ingredient as well ..... practice. I really am not sure what is making me go faster but I have a suspicion it is practice.
I watch a UA-camr called Jardier a lot and if your into sim racing you should check him out. He races in ACC mostly and against very high tier opponents and does very well having won various championships himself in the past. One of his contemporaries who is a also of a very high skill level and is very fast is a young teenager called Goldsaw, he drives at alien speeds..... He uses a controller !
I feel your pain but this guy makes us all feel bad.
Enjoy your G29 they are a great little wheel and you can pick up some incredible second hand bargains like my old one ..:(
How do I verse you
I’ll use a blindfold to make it fair 😂
SUELIOOOOOO DO BRASIL!!!!
Hey Doc!
I am making a video and was wondering if it would be okay to showcase a 5-10 second clip of this video with proper credits.
Thank you.
Whats the context?
@@TheCarDoc1 Related to Sim racing and diminishing returns from expensive products.
Sure, as long as you credit and include the link
@@TheCarDoc1 Will do. Thank you!
Interesting idea. But probably the worst track to do it
Weird car, weird track, weird VR as "entry" thing that actually benefits PRO simracer.
Give him 23", race on GP track on GT4 or less, both start behind AI (or do qualy) to see who wins.
Haha he never uses VR or that G29 so jumping into to something he isnt used to is the point..
VR in my opinion isn’t advantageous to triples, and a lot of beginners do start in VR.
Using non Loadcell pedals and a basic wheel when i’m using very expensive VRS pedals + Simucube 2 Pro is a clear gear advantage
😄
shitz video moszt basic setup and pulls out a vr :D
yooooo
YOOOOOOOO
you should do a race challenge with those drunk glasses. finish one lap.
@@jhvghjgjkhlihli I actually have a pair of ‘upside down challenge’ glasses at home 😂 I’ve been considering it, maybe I should, on a full motion rig…?
