Braking is much easier to learn, because u use reference points. Braking is basic of basics. Good braking will make you good driver, but if you want to be very good driver you have to learn how to accelerate. Acceleration is harder, because every turn is different, sometimes u hit perfect apex, sometimes u miss apex by 10cm etc etc. Everything this change moment when u can start accelerate. During acceleration when exiting corner u have to feel your car 3 times more intensive when other things (braking, cornering etc). You have to feel rear of your car, input steering wheel correctly and look forward to the apex and for example avoid slippy curbs
I learn and experience this step by step since I started with this game, it is not only about gaining time and being faster, but also the earlier you can get on the throttle the more stable the car will be, and the better you can rotate and exit a corner as well! Of course that does not mean to just push the pedal to the metal and go full throttle out of every apex, no, because that will end up in nasty powerslides and losing control of car :) It is about progressively applying throttle while exiting more and more and really find the feeling to push it as much as possible without unsettling the car to also pick up more speed and gain time on the straight! It is really fascinating and I document that and talk about it in my latest beginner track guide video :)
I've found loadcell braking (Fanatec) makes such a difference for trail braking and fine tuning corner entry speed and those minor adjustments that add up to faster lap times.
@@cancali we will be always in disadvantage by someone with very expensive setups... but don`t worry, the g920 pedal is good enough to trail brake and win races against guys with load cell pedals
@@cancali Not really. I started with a G29 in GT Sport and ACC. It's a great mid-tier wheel and easily modded to be better. I drove a friend's Fanatec CSL Elite and was convinced it was better for me. Be fast with whatever equipment works for you!
That's really useful thanks. although I thought the braking point for T1 looked really early. I'll give it a try. Question though, in races if you're too hesitant or early on braking you can end up being dive bombed. How do you get a happy medium?
By being consistent. (And not racing with noobs 😄). If you suddenly start breaking earlier, you’re not being consistent and you make it hard for the one behind to break in time...

1kmh more in average speed = 1km ahead by 1 hour of race
When you say it out loud is seems so obvious, but we rarely think about it while racing!
@@RechargingBatteries yeah, that's the point :D

Fantastic information as usual Aris! Thank you
Thanks for the info. I always learn a lot of interesting and useful things on your channel
Aitos eisai patrioti, mpravo soy. This whole series of videos is just amazing.
True. And the right TC setting makes early acceleration possible by still allowing a somewhat direct response to the gas pedal inputs.
The ABS helps to brake late but still being allowed to adjust your line during braking. Too much ABS though and you have to breake very early.
I needed to hear this.
Thank you Aris :-)

so I am in a disadvantaged situation with my g920 pedals, right?

His failed braking line is definitely my ‘normal’ line more often than not....I think I found where my problem is haha
Will the safety mechanics be adjusted in the future? The way safety is done in GT Sport is excellent, find lobbies are a lot more clean.

@@divisiona3974 yeah good points. Cheers
Slow in fast out
Look at it the other way - 1 meter of braking has more impact on overall braking distance than 1 meter of accelerating. Percentage of total distance.
