    I just hit A+ this weekend & one of the biggest things that I think gets overlooked even in A lobbies are defending your position & proper overtaking. It's such a huge subject that probably needs its own video, but drivers tend to overestimate their car or their ability in a short moment which causes incidents. Had to defend a lot this past week in Gr.3 Trial Mountain reverse, regardless of my fast pace in the Genesis X.

    I think the number one thing I had to learn is that driving line is the most important thing. Your acceleration and braking will come together no matter what if you’re taking the proper driving line. If you brake too little or too much, it throws your driving line off and you’ll be slower. If you accelerate too soon, or too late coming out of a corner, your driving line is now off and you’re going to be slower. Learning the proper racing line is more important than anything else. Everything else falls into place if you’re driving the correct driving line.

      For me I knew the right line for a long time but was still off almost 1.5 seconds to the world records
      I think it's more important to learn how to brake into the corner to get more rotation and how to prepare the complete corner so I have good acceleration off from the corners
      I lost most of my time during slow corners where your braking input is extremely important and where you have to setup the car during the corner for acceleration

      As a B rated driver on a controller, I became faster once I got better at trail braking. I accomplished this bu putting my controller trigger effect to weak instead of off. This gives me a little resistance to braking and I don't have to always rely on guessing how far to hit the brake trigger.

    My biggest advice to drivers who are at that A level but are struggling with trail braking and throttle control is to add a 15% deadzone to the start of your brake pedal, if you have a duel sence edge controller you can also do this, i promise this will help you alot especially in gr3

    • @Basmx195

      @kerpail when they last changed the physics the cars hated to much braking and they just would understeer alot if you drove them like you did before the change, i worked out quickly it was my muscle memory causing the problem so to help i delayed the first 15% of pedal so when my foot tried to brake 40% it would only register 25% in game, this fixed it immediately and then i could slowly dial it back over time, i still do it with gr3 cars depending on the track ect

    Hey thanks for the video, I think you covered everything nicely in terms of getting "quick" around the track. As a controller user, I find the minimising abrupt movements part difficult, especially with steering. Controlling acceleration and braking progressively with the trigger buttons is alright though.
    I'd love to see a future video on racecraft tips and tricks, especially defending a position. I am stuck in DR-B, and one of the reasons I think I am stuck there is that I can't be bothered defending most of the time. I'm too lazy and greedy with my lines through corners during a race.

    Great video, i love your content. I have a issues tho with GT7. Now, i am by no means a quick driver, at them moment i am B rated, close to A but i was doing some daily races a while back and was starting around 3rd to 5th. So, i left the lobby and tried to improve my quali time, which i did by almost .600 of a second. So, there i was thinking, this has to be a front row start as my previous time was only 2 tenths from pole. To my disappointment, instead of moving up the grid, i was almost in second split. It put me with a load more A, A+ rated drivers. I am never going to improve from there with those drivers, so i just don't bother now, i cannot see the point in trying to improve when i get put with drivers that i am never going to beat, really don't get the grading of GT7.

      Wind won't make too much different, but tyres will. Let's say you can brake at 150 with soft tyres. With mediums you can do it at 170-175. With hard around at 190-200. Also this doesn't take speed into account. And also with every 10% of tyrewear brake about 2-2.5 m sooner than on a brand new set. It also depends on the car so this is just a rough estimate.

      First check your brakes, spend some time testing what is the right amount of pressure you need for each corner. Look at your replay and the replay of the fastest guy. I can tell you there is always something different, so try to copy that. When you copy the lap a couple of time you start to understand what the car can and can't do. I know it may sound too simple but it gave me so much in the last year or two.

    Ok brother heres what i think is the most common mistake drivers make, and noone addresses it.
    Stop looking at the 20 feet of pavement beyond the bumper!
    Look ahead. Way ahead. Stop looking for your brake point. Look at the turn! Dont try to compute the angular momentum....your brain does that based on the previous information fed into it. Its like catching a fly ball...if you look to where youre supposed to run to catch it you take your eye off the ball. Thats basic in sports but passed over in racing.
    I know this sounds contrary to your precise braking point lookout but i feel like your emphasis on this particular point sort of distracts people from the corner.
    So basically they end up not preparing for rhe corner but preparing to look for the spot that designates the beginning of the corner. I understand the importance of a good braking point...but a good breaking point is 100% dependant on your current speed. If you got a bad exit out of last corner your fast lap braking point will make you slower.
    Whereas if your pov(ducks rotten vegetables) is set correctly and your brain 'believes' it you can just use talent and not a strict point where 'THIS IS THE SLOT TO BRAKE AND NOWHERE ELSE' which is how i feel the emphasis in this subject leans....

    I don't want to be the one saying this, but this video barely scratched the surface. First of all, after watching the video I don't know what you learnt after 500 hours of coaching in GT7. But you didn't even mention something like the racing line. It looks like it's just brake and accelerate, and that will do. No, it won't. You didn't mention track limits. There are many tracks where there's a lot of time to be gained by exploiting track limits. You didn't mention anything about racecraft, strategy, how to approach races. I don't know. The advice "be very precise, load a replay from the fastest driver and copy him"... well, what do I need coaching for, then? It's not a bad advice at all, but advice should be aimed to make people naturally faster, and to teach them how to learn and go fast by themselves without having to copy other people. Also, shifting gears... Man, I like how you communicate your points, but please try to do this in a series of a little more in depth videos aimed to different skill levels, covering the basics.
