Excellent. This is my third week of your videos. Love how concise and to the point your videos are. I ended the week with my best laps about a second off your pace at Snetterton last week, and I thought I wouldn't even want to race it at the beginning of the week. I remember your tips all week long, against all odds!
I only started three weeks ago after decades of other various sims. Your guides have been invaluable, they are exactly what I need right now, back to basics. Thanks man!
Hugely helpful, and just in time. Ive started on this track just a little early, this my first Month/Season of iRacing there all new to me.. That Entry into Turn 1 helped a LOT.
Amazing time man, this isn't a criticism directly towards you, even Coach Dave Academy is doing the same thing for their references but I wish the single player Time Attack competition was used more often for these hotlaps. Track temperature, usage state, fuel load and the setup overall can account for a significant variance. Keeping things consistent between people uploading this kind of content would be awesome. Even just for practice I wish it was used more by the racing public to get a better idea of what the competition looks like before going into an official session, even then, I don't think enough people are using Time Trails so there's actually some proven consistency behind that pace
This is awesome! This is my first week really getting into iracing and I'm hovering around 1:40.5 consistent but still struggling to break into sub 1:40. Hopefully this will help shave off some time!
Tip for new drivers like me about the first 1 or 2 corners: You go to the outside right side then you turn and just tap the brakes to make the corner , you just tap the gas to straighten the car (so it doesnt slide after you slam on the brakes for the second part) The issue I had here the second part of braking where you have to do minimum 80% brakes I was doing it too late and spinning out of control. The 2 brake points are very close , like this: 1.tap brakes 2. throttle tap 3. slam on brakes (i had to fix and modulate my brakes so that 80% was my default slam , you cant have it too light where you go 100% thats bad, but below 80% you have too much speed and you would be braking too late). These 3 inputs need to happen very fast cause the 2 corners are next to each other, if you are late you not gonna make it, watching the videos i felt like there was a bigger difference between the first tap and the second slam of brakes but they are esentially immediately after the other with a little bit of throttle. This might be too complex for me but by taking it apart i am learning important stuff, even thou its very hard for me to replicate even 1 corner. As a complete Rookie arcade racing is completely different than this, its a whole new world for me. Trying to follow these is kind of hard cause I can barely lap safely but its teaching me the range i should be applying, brakes throttle use the cars rotation and steering, I thought I would just learn brake points, and the speed i needed to be in the corner but that is just useless , you need to learn how to drive and adapt constantly. Racing is more like drifting and dynamic than i thought, i thought you just apply brakes like its modular on off switch so you reach the desired speed at the corner, nah you are actually using brakes to turn which i always thought it was metaphorical but its actually practical. The car is not a train on rails its much more fluid. I had this 1 dimensional idea until i started iracing TIP TURN 4: The braking he does for turn 4 is not cause he is too fast, but to rotate the car for turn 5, and its a little bit later than he says , its almost at the end of the turn 4 to give you rotation for turn 5, the trick here is to go out of turn 5 and go full throttle , than fulll brake which is very difficult for me. EDIT: when he says lift he means off the throttle Edit 2: that first corner is a pain if you are a rookie. Theres so many things there you have to have skill to do. I was having so much trouble the whole week with it and learned so much from it even things unrelated, you cant do that with cold tyres for example, also so many things to keep in mind ij that first corner j wasnt even lookign ahead so my car was never even positioned right some of the time , my eyes were on the right to time it correctly
Normally by the end of the week i can beat your guide time by a tenth or two but a 1.40.0 is my best for this week no idea where your finding the extra time, i think im braking more than the 10%s so scrubbing off too much speed, great lap!
Any chance you have a video planned for this week's Advanced MX5 cup at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace? Your videos are extremely helpful even if I'm 2s off your pace.
What setup are you using? Also, how do you downshift so smoothly?? I need to clutch most of the times in order to downshift… What’s your clutch setting (no assist, anti-stall, full assist)?
direct to the point, no silly intros. dynamic guide. you're getting even better. thanks a lot!

The worst thing about this circuit is the pit exit.
Try pit entry lol
@Wallzey1 pit exit, that is a race track on its own 😅
whoever designed that pit exit is a WAR CRIMINAL

Started with iRacing this season and these videos have been invaluable to my success!
Nice one mate, this'll be really helpful this week as I'm trying to raise my SR

Great stuff ! I have no doubt this will help me get up to speed in no time !
Hey buddy! Your trackguides are incredibly helpfull! They make it so much easier for me to learn the track and have decent race pace. 😁✌

Great write up, spot on
@@Erilla01 its mostly for myself😅
my glorious king

Nice lap, is it baseline setup ?
Yes it is
Insane- faster than most GR86 drivers around here

Not this time around
@@Erilla01 okay 😞
What setup are you using? Also, how do you downshift so smoothly?? I need to clutch most of the times in order to downshift… What’s your clutch setting (no assist, anti-stall, full assist)?
I only use anti stall for when someone crash other than that I dont have any assists on.
Setup is baseline
@@Erilla01thank you! Love your videos. I’m still trying to figure out how to stay full throttle in turns 5 and 6!
@@Erilla01also, I figured out the downshift. I wasn’t lifting completely
thx!!
Im not even driving mx5 :D great guide!
