As always these things save me valuable minutes to hours learning a track and when you don't have all that much time to game/sim race, things like this are absolute essentials to staying competitive while having fun. Total headache alleviators.
@@isaacwest there's lots of variables you can take into account including updates and more importantly: track temperature. This can change on a day to day basis. Race pace can also be gained from slipstreaming. Don't worry about the lap time, guides are good to get an idea of braking markers and where to shift. The rest is up to you.
Love the guide. Looking forward to Lime Rock Park. I guess another thing I would like to see is the start. What's the best way to launch? Braking point for T1 on cold tires is a big unknown, and it always gets bottled up there. Then it's super easy to get a run on people through 2-3, then what? T5-6 is also another hot spot for accidents on lap 1. Another thing I would like to see is which is related is the cold tire adjustments. Finally, how about a full qualifying run? Start, outlap, first lap (banker lap?), second lap. What's your approach? Is the first timed lap or the second timed lap generally faster?
Thank you for the instruction! I'm new to iRacing. I've been at this track for a while in the Mazda and I have a really hard time cracking 1:49. Could be the notoriously bad pedals that come with the TM TS300R wheel. Still, this video has shown me a lot of my mistakes thus far.
Dave.. what am I doing wrong?? I have been doing my best to hit the exact breaking points that you've laid out, however it just seems like I am sliding so so much. When I watch you go around, the car seems to just bee under your finger tips, mine feels like a boat.. Anything you can think of that I may be doing to cause this? Love the content. Thanks for taking the time to make this stuff for us.
on Turn 4, Your Break Pressure goes Right to 80% then it Tiers off as you turn in. /sigh.. I can literally hear the tyre squeel as you go through turn and the tone is the same. Even as your car balance is changing throughout the apex, the failure of the tires from sound is right on the edge throughout the whole turn. THIS IS WHAT I CANT DO. I've been trying it for weeks, hours on top of hours on top of hours man. No "Game" if you can call it that, has given me such challenge or issue.. The touch in this world is on another level entirely..
@@TraxionGG well... not great but I knew where I was going thanks to this. Had a total monitor and VR desync for race 1, missed the start and drove round alone. Race 2 a guy spun going into T2 tried to avoid but he drove into my path, drove round alone again.... 1.48 was my best. Need to be neater after watching this again.
Man I thought you said "burned satan" LMAO. I always thought it was some obscure rune/artwork but you're right, it does look like burned spectator seating.
you really gotta get out of the mindset of trailbraking in this car. you rotate this car on tyre slip angle, trailbraking everywhere is going to screw you over on every single exit. means your laptimes are worse and you're gonna be vulnerable to overtakes on every straight. draft isn't the strongest in this car, but it's enough to matter alot.
Got my first win after watching this guide. Huge fan, Dave. Thanks!
Been off Iracing a while and just back into it . Dave is still my go to man for learning tracks if I’m a bit rusty 👌🏼
Again I have to applaud you! What a perfect and complete guide. Thanks for this Great content for free. Dave youvsreba legend!
I love all of you guys. You give a hints to others how to be better. Lots of love.

Underrated series Dave, looking forward to usings these on track every week.
bro, you're actually learning the wrong thing following this guide. dude's driving 46's where the pace is 44's.
@@isaacwest mate this comment is over a year old. There have been multiple updates since then.
ayo that's crazy!
but the updates don't particularly pertain to the mx5, and it's tyres and suspension. @@JC_303

You sound slow. Might wanna work on that.

Now I see that and I think "accelerate towards burnt satan".
I think it’s there to catch falling rocks and debris from that hillside
