Great videos. Can you please make a video about the psychological aspects of racing: NERVES: How to deal with nerves before an important race FOCUS: How to keep focus in long races and recover focus when you make mistakes FEAR: Do you ever experience any fear when racing?
I have my first Sim-racing League race at Oulton park tonight and having watched this once and done laps it has been an amazing help in learning the track and knowing what I should and shouldn't be doing
Another thorough video. The way you use your shoulders to describe weight transfer and loading and unloading adds a visual element that really helps me and allows me to understand what you are saying with more than just the words. 👍
Island bend flat - wow some cars have grip! Super review of the best track! Has made me aware of some features I have never recognised. Hopefully a few I can remember this weekend.
I agree about shell oil, in a Caterham 420R, which can almost go flat out leading up to shell oil, you can brake super late and in almost one move you can come off brake, get on throttle and run straight into the hairpin with really quite a significant amount of speed. Far more than you'd imagine would be sensible, but the track carries you round and you can just feel the back end twitch as you exit the corner and get full power on again.
Great video! Had a drive around Oulton Park this weekend (not racing). It was interesting following the pace / safety car and the line they took was very similar, i've picked up on so much that i felt whilst there!
Thanks Scott, great videos, well put together and very easy to listen to. Off to Oulton Park for the first time in 2 weeks and my prep as ever is your videos and some time on Project Cars 2! Loads of progression since I bought my car 2 years ago and you've been a big help with that!
Oddly having come to Project cars after spending time at oulton, its a remarkably faithful reproduction. What I would say is that project doesn't capture some of the nastier elevation changes, especially over deer leap, where being on line makes for quite a rough exit to the section.
Great video, and very informative. Have been doing Oulton for a few years now and still nowhere near mastered it. This video will help for sure! Quick question though would you say the same principles on driving lines apply in a light, low powered (200hp) FWD car?
Hey Mr. Mansell big fan of the page and learned a ton so extremely appreciative and was wondering if you could give any tips for handling the starting line mid-pack mayhem and how to pass and not rearend the guy infront while staying agressive? Thanks
The camber issue might explain the spins I had at Cascades and the understeering into the tyres at Druids. On the subject of Druids when I was first shown the line back in the late 70s we were told to take the first apex wide (maybe a car width or so off the apex) in order to cut in for the second and straighten the exit. This approach seems to have gone right out of fashion.
Seriously fantastic Channel, love how in depth the information is. University Series reminds me of Ross Bentleys Speed Secrets too. Look forward to the 10hour vid on 'Nurburgring Nordshleife: The Definitive Circuit Guide' hehe. Keep up the vids and would love to see a similar vid on Cadwell soon.
could you please review Magny Cours and Barcelona circuits? I'll be racing FR 2.0 both tracks this summer and having such great guides could help me a lot. thanks!
Great video, thank you very much! I have a question - what is the software you are using for your videos? I mean the scroll to rewind the video plus the touch pad? Thanks in advance
Starting the year with a once again very detailed video :D p.s. do these formula 3 cars have abs or it's only treshhold braking that can keep the tyres from locking in the braking zones?
Great video but sadly any historic car from single seater to a early sports car this has no meaning sadly!.... different braking/turn in points etc are so much more different ...great job but think about doing a video for the other racers :-)... Driver61 could become the tutorial for all . A thumbs up ;-)
Lap record 1'24.6 seconds, F3000,1995.... This has now been deleted and 1'28.9, 2011 proper F3 is lap record. This is an insult to Gareth Rees in f3000!

Can you show a full speed lap with no pauses and a quick commentary at the beginning on the video?
Great videos.

I'm goin to oulton park for my first time to watch some racing this Easter. Cant wait
Enjoy, it's a mega track. You can watch on the outside of Cascades, it's a cool place to see race cars!

My friend was probably there in a Pugeot 308 GTi, it's a great track

Very usefull video as i'm supposed to race in the uk soon. Thank you very much !
Hot damn, 45 minute circuit guide. Love it...
Edit: By the way, can you recommend any literature about racing?
+Streamlines do you mean about technique? Check out our tutorials Https://driver61.com/uni

Low battery warning at 33:25 had me frantically trying to work out why my MacBook charger wasn't working!
