That was a really enjoyable race to watch! I can’t believe how fast the front runners in these races are… Mazda races always seem to have a few guys who blitz me no matter how hard I practice
Thank you so much buddy! Yeah some guys are insane! I feel like they just start over again with iRacing, or have a lot of experience with other sims. Like the guy who finished in 2nd this, started from 5th. 🥲 How do you practice? I've noticed that practicing methodically really helps getting faster! If there's any advice I could give it's learn how to use trailbraking! That alone saves up to 1,0 -2,0 seconds per lap.
@@RedBeardRacingRBR I'm pretty methodical actually! Probably just impatient to race, more than anything. A bit like you - I get a fast time that I think is fairly good, but then in a race they're somehow even faster than that. (I loved your "my own lap was faster than my track guide ... but ... he's still faster?!" moment, very relatable!) Game-changer for me getting up to speed faster was using Garage61 (or VRS) to find where to focus + an idea where to start, and then Active Reset to do one small section 100 times until I got it right.
Haha I get it buddy! I was also very impatient to race. But because I make video's now, I like to practice more so that I just have to record one race for a video. So during weekends I practice the upcoming track for about 2-3 hours before I do the race. One hour at a time tops. I find that sticking to one particular series helps a lot in improving your skills. The skills you have obtained with one series will transfer to other series. I used to suck at a lot of series because I never properly learned how to be good at one particular series. 🤣 Garage61 seems very helpful! Great for analyzing what the fast guys are doing. Have you watched Suelio Almeida by any chance? He has some great coaching video's in which he breaks down different driving techniques. They've helped me a lot! Active restarts are also a great tool!
Welk wheelbase heb je? Je force slaat mooi tot geel, nooit rood. Als ik dat doe krijg ik niet gedraaid (mss een mazda nog net). Je FPS zijn wel aan de 'lage' kant, 100-120fps voelt vaak beter. Wel mooi gereden :).
Yoo man! Thanks! Ik gebruik een Logitech G923 base en pedalen! Ik had via Reddit ffb instellingen gevonden die goed werken voor de MX-5 met de G923. Verder heb ik zelf mijn rempedaal ingesteld met een gamma van 3.5. Voor mij werkt dat het beste voor trailbraking wanneer je met maar 10% remt. Anders is het echt niet te doen als je zo weinig input wilt geven. 🤣 Mijn monitor gaat maar tot 60fps, dus 120 fps zit er niet in. 🥲
Hey man! Thank you so much! I'm not sure what you mean, but I have my clutch set to 'Auto Blip', so that it automatically blips during downshifts. It's a lifesaver haha. During the race I sometimes blip the throttle to stabilize the car during cornering though, usually with long sweeping corners like turn 3 and 4 on this particular track. I hope that answers your question! 😁✌🏻
@@RedBeardRacingRBR Ahhh, thank you so much. Need to check Auto Blip feature. As I don'thave clutch pedal and car behaves super unstable sometimes once I downshift

Great video! Enjoyed your commentary.
Thanks buddy! 😁✌🏻
Mooie race weer! Je zit mooi voorin het veld
Thanks Jay! Sterke tegenstanders dit keer! 😋

Hey! Nice race. Do you use Blips of throttle during the race?

Just subscribed hope to see on track sometime
Thanks buddy! See you on track! I'll be racing GT4 next season! 😁✌🏻
