Really loving this mate. The Editing, music, production and of course, the professional feedback from such an established driver. Please keep up the work 🎉
Congratulations to the win today!! Here to learn from one of the best, been subbed to you for awhile and other day saw you were doing 24 at Daytona again this year and wow what a finish man! After that last yellow flag you just went into beast mode keeping 2 seconds between you and P2. Incredible stuff brother, loved it! Wish you had more broadcast time
The hard part with sim racing for me, sim racing is all visuals. I know braking and turn in patience are my weak point. I always compare it being in an actual car (I've done track time in the past). It's not the same, looking at a screen vs feeling the car and seeing actual pyshical visuals, is just two different worlds. The instructions you give are very well put.
You’re so right. It’s something that takes time. Personally, I found VR a great way to transition from real life to the sim. It gives you more depth perception.
Thank you for helping me understand how wrong I’m braking and how to correct years of terrible braking habits. I’ve been treating every turn as a “brake late and hard as possible” often killing momentum through fast turns or trying to ask too much from the car in tight turns. Liked and Subscribed!
Ha! Love that you use the string concept with steering - I started using it after a recent epiphanie; I've never reeeaaally understood "break in straight line" because obviousley that's what I'm fricken trying to do, but i was distracted by thinking of the whole car and had a hard time feeling when it was indeed straight. Then I changed it to "always break with the wheel as centered as possible" and that was so much easier to judge. Then once that clicked, to help time my trail or accel i thought of it as the wheel being "straight = 100% input, more angle = proportionally less input" then that intuitively led me to imagine strings pulling on the pedals. It has been helping me smooth out/ coordinate my hands to feet and seems effective, but I wasn't sure if it was a "good" idea or just a bridge between total noob and better techniques, mostly because I hadn't heard it before and if you watch onboards it's not really done like that, or at least very hard to tell. Anyway you've ratified my theory, thank you! PS - I've been using it to time corner exit accel too - do you you recommend that as well? do you use it as a loose guiding principle or do you very strictly follow it? thanx again! PPS - Jimmy sent me here - great channel so far!
Thanks so much to Jimmy for sending here. It’s not quite as generic as that but it’s a great starting point. When I do my one on one coaching sessions, we get into a lot more detail.
I originally learnt the 'string' technique as it related to corner exit acceleration. It's a good starting point. Interesting to see it used for trail braking also.
Really needed this. Thank you. I'm new to sim racing and have been using practice modes to essentially experiment with what I can get away on cornering..which I'm sure is the worst way to learn lol.
As a guy who is enjoining starting the sim adventure and an engineer, love understanding these strategies and mechanics. It makes what I've been "feeling" make sense.
Hey man. Just wanted to let you know. I’ve been sim racing for around 8 years, and been racing on different game systems well before that. This little video has totally improved my technique to the tune of shaving 8-12 seconds, which seems insane, off my current laps. Now this is one track and one day, but holy shit. I knew the concept of everything you’re talking about, but I dunno I guess the way you explained it just clicked. So thanks a million and you got a subscriber for life. Really like that you’re a pro GT3 driver and can use that experience to host a channel on sim racing. You will have tons of subs in the future.
That is incredible. I honestly I’ve never seen that big of an improvement or heard of it. I’m so happy to have helped. I will make a lot more information or videos that will help improve driving technique.
@@MrAsus4870 I could care less who believes me lol, I’m sure af not here to get your approval. Just saying thanks to OP for the tips that helped me. Get lost.
I’m really struggling with the Mercedes lately. I am going to focus on some of the things you mentioned. I really don’t want to give up on my beloved AMG. Thanks for the video!
You explain things very well man. I practice hard and I think the trail braking has taken the longest to get right and I'm not there yet but also I notice how tense my body is when in a sim race. I know this is affecting my braking also. Thanks for another great lesson 👍🏻🍻🥃🥃🍀🇮🇪🤝🏻
@@danielmorad that video helped me a lot, my legs were not in the right position, I changed that, changed my pedal position also, I’m using more of my feet to brake and accelerate now and that made me have a lot more control on trail braking and traction coming out of the corners! Thank you!
Great stuff man! I’ve applied this to the sim and IRL. Managing weight makes driving so much less dramatic. Keep up the great work. I must’ve watched this video 5 times.
I was just learning Hokenheim in rFactor 2 and it took me some time to realize I had to brake much earlier on T1 than I thought at first, even if the corner is much faster than other ones. Your video explains that very well. The objective is to have higher exit speed, and if you brake too late, you have to slow down more to make the turn, and your exit suffers from it. However, if you are on a hair pin, you don't have a choice but to go slower on the corner, so might as well brake as late as possible. Great explanation 👌
I’ve found myself that I’m faster if I break softer in the faster corners but never really understood why. Now that you mention it keeping the balance more neutral or having control over the balance of the car makes perfect sense why did I not realise this earlier.
Absolutely excellent video, thank you. Feel like you are putting into words what I've been trying to find in the dark for a long time. Great explanation 👌 Looking forward to your next one 👍
I’ve watched so many videos on trail braking and they all do fast corners so that’s what I’ve been trying to do in hairpins too 🤦🏾♂️ thanks for explaining both types 😊
You might want to speak about throttle steer and breaking together All your info was spot on, but in a “purpose built” high horsepower car, throttle steer will gain significantly in lap time
i love this content. so many little tips that is hard to learn without coaching. I always thought braking late was the best, but then it makes sense why sometimes a lap that feels fast, is actually slow. i do HPDE track days and sim
Im not so great on sweeping corners that require light trail braking but tight corners im nice and smooth this video helps me a lot understand what im doing wrong
Really good channel that's appeared here! attention to detail on your videos is nice and they're very well made. The effort is obvious. Maybe some video about how traction control, or ABS should be used to adjust your driving style in disciplines, like GT, that use them? I'm sure a lot of us apply the same approach whether these are on or off but surely it must be different.
Great video bud. I find I focus on two main things; hitting the apex point with as much speed as possible, and getting my car position correct at that point. Other than that, I allow my braking markers and exit points to create themselves. This let me focus on keeping the car on the edge. Nice to see you spoke about balance and weight transfer, two things I think a lot of rookies forget about.
That’s provided so much clarity for me after mentioning the most important part, being the balance of the car. Can’t wait to try this and hopefully find a couple tenths here and there. “Last of the late brakers” will be getting ditched. Thank you, and you’ve got another sub. Great content.
@@danielmorad I don’t know about that haha. I’m sure that my goals are a little different to yours lol. I’m on the road to 3k. Sitting at 2.8 at the moment but had a good couple of months. Aim high eh? Really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
This is really great information. I think many people try to utilize a gradual braking method but then get drilled by the people who just slam on the brakes. Definitely good to keep in mind though.
Pro racing driver giving lesson about racing, I am listening Sir. My questions are: 1. Does your new Simcube pedals help you to go faster? Compared to older one. 2. Do you activate ABS when driving in sim racing? 3. Which one faster, ABS on or ABS off? 4. Which one faster, TC on or TC off? Your Vlog really helps me to improve, much appreciated.
Simucube pedals make me more consistent. I try not to activate the ABS too hard. ABS on and TC on but set to the correct settings is important. Glad it’s helping.
@@danielmorad That would be epic. From all my subs, you are the freshest and best content atm. Love your content, patience, delivery, editing... Top notch!
Hi Daniel, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I’m always trying to be conscious about my braking and this helps a lot! Absolutely great video mate.
Editing and production are top notch, but this is just scratching the surface on Beginner Braking Techniques. Advanced techniques are not even mentioned here, let alone anything considered "Mastery". I mean, the main method you describe will induce people into coasting through corners. Almost any coasting is losing time. Fully off the brake before turning in? Perhaps on a few corners, but stating it (at least as I took it) as the rule rather than the exception is confusing at best, and deceptive at worst. This video will get you through corners SAFER, but almost certainly not FASTER. Criticisms aside, I very much WANT to like your channel. Any real content us pretend drivers can get from a real one is gold. Just keep working at it.
Love this video! I watch it a lot to get it drilled in my head so I can apply it to the sim. Are you going to upload like a part 2 to this when it comes to throttle modulation during cornering and opening up steering on corner exit when applying full throttle?
Great video! I would have wanted to see more explanation about the tips about how to let go off braking (trail brake off). I think I go off the brakes too fast before starting to rotate the wheel for the turning point but I have trouble understanding what's the optimal target and how to figure it out other than lots of trial and error.
@Daniel Morad Great explanations ! Question : isn't it more correct to use "Load transfer" instead of "Weight transfer" ? I learnt the difference with that joke : "Weight transfer is when your stepmother has no seatbelt locked and you use full braking" ! So it's more load on front tires, yes, on braking but the weight of the car never changes : 1000kg car is always 1000kg in any movement of it. Am I wrong ? Thanks a lot if you answer !
Great video and good points. I do find the music distracting and it made me go back a few times for re-caps. Fading it in and out to not overload the viewer could be a step up.
2 1/2 years into sim racing and trail braking is one of the things I still struggle with. Sometimes I can do it right and sometimes I get it way wrong it gets so frustrating. I always find myself 2-3sec off the faster drivers.
I appreciate your efforts, primarily I race f3, recently practicing Gt3, f3 is barely any brakes. In iracing seems like everyone is braking so frigging late its ridiculous, I almost get crushed cause I brake normal, it sickens me that to be competitive I have to do the same or get wrecked, arguments blow up, wasn't expecting you to brake so early mate... whatever. today's iracers have figured a way to break the physics of the sim. Even the ai does it! 😢
This is going to help me a lot with T2 on Thunderhill East. I've been braking way too late and too hard and the car is upset through what should be a fast, stable corner.
@Daniel Morad I am a new sub and enjoying your expertise. When learning to drive @ 14 in 1984 my Dad HAMMERED into me “NEVER touch the brake with your left foot.” Now I have to learn left foot braking in iRacing and I don’t know how to start 🙄
@@danielmorad I bit the bullet and started left foot braking. Feels really weird but I already appreciate the lack of lag when I need to brake. Bonus side effect I now realize all my clutch down-shifting has been pointless. Not taking LFB in real races yet... just AI races for now. Cheers
Could you make a video showing the approximate weight distribution of each tire from the braking point to exit point? Assuming a balanced car has 25% on each tire. Thx
Just found your channel. Great info and so well explained. I always tend to brake late and hard thinking this is the fastest way. Well...is not! Thank you!
Great tips, are these breaking tips in general techniques rather than game specific? I play iRacing, ACC and Raceroom and all three are a bit different when breaking into turns.
These would be more applicable to iRacing in real life. Some of these other simulators don’t use correct, braking technique that I would consider similar to real life.
Whats up man, so the Nurburgring 24 is coming up and its going to be my first endurance event. Since you do the Daytona 24 and won it, I thought I ask you for some tips. Im mainly worried about the endurance part since I dont race for this long usually, any tips? Thanks man!
Really good info but very collocated to get it right. Does this apply the all chassis layouts and driveline setups? Also left foot vs right foot braking?
I actually moved away from braking points and moved into end of braking point instead. The reason for this is that I found it easier to set the correct entry speed plus that the laps differ a bit or in race it might actually be quite drastic different. //Motorcycle world stage veteran and pro level drifting coach
There is a general tendency to approach the corner too fast e-x-a-c-t-l-y as you point out and by this the car has difficulty to turn the corner because the outside front wheel has still to much pressure on it and drivers can't step on the gas early. Ideally, as a driver that gets the breaking right, you can open the steering wheel earlier while simultaneously but progressively going on the gas. To get this right is the most important thing on a race track I believe.
Corner dependant. It comes down to the balance you feel in the car as well. Experiment in a faster corner with earlier braking but less pressure. If you’re braking at the “75” mark and at 50% pressure, if you feel like the balance is off or you’re over slowing the corner, brake earlier (around 100) but with only 35% pressure and slow down the trail brake. See how that changes things.
I'm really enjoying your channel. A real GT3 racing driver doing sim racing and sharing knowledge is fantastic.
Much appreciated!
Count me also. I just discovered this channel today !! And I’m already watching the vids over and over and subscribed and all the bells and whistles 🏁

2 1/2 years into sim racing and trail braking is one of the things I still struggle with. Sometimes I can do it right and sometimes I get it way wrong it gets so frustrating. I always find myself 2-3sec off the faster drivers.
I made a video about steering with your feet. That’s a good one to watch.
@@danielmorad Just watched it. Now just got to practice it.
I appreciate your efforts, primarily I race f3, recently practicing Gt3, f3 is barely any brakes. In iracing seems like everyone is braking so frigging late its ridiculous, I almost get crushed cause I brake normal, it sickens me that to be competitive I have to do the same or get wrecked, arguments blow up, wasn't expecting you to brake so early mate... whatever. today's iracers have figured a way to break the physics of the sim. Even the ai does it! 😢
It’s all about achieving the maximum balance on the tire
This is going to help me a lot with T2 on Thunderhill East. I've been braking way too late and too hard and the car is upset through what should be a fast, stable corner.
That’s awesome. This is definitely going to help you. You’ll find a lot more stability with the different braking style.
@Daniel Morad I am a new sub and enjoying your expertise. When learning to drive @ 14 in 1984 my Dad HAMMERED into me “NEVER touch the brake with your left foot.” Now I have to learn left foot braking in iRacing and I don’t know how to start 🙄
You can brake with left or right foot. Technique is the same.
@@danielmorad I bit the bullet and started left foot braking. Feels really weird but I already appreciate the lack of lag when I need to brake. Bonus side effect I now realize all my clutch down-shifting has been pointless. Not taking LFB in real races yet... just AI races for now. Cheers
This was so helpful. Love the content.
Glad it was helpful!
Your a true gent putting in the time 👍
Thank you for watching :)
A great video! Thank you🙏 made me go a lot faster
Glad it helped!
Hell yea love this type of stuff! Although I ride sportbikes its the same concept. That driving simulator is unfreakinreal!
There are definitely things that translate. Thank you so much.
Could you make a video showing the approximate weight distribution of each tire from the braking point to exit point? Assuming a balanced car has 25% on each tire. Thx
That could be possible. I’ll try to think about how to do it first.
Thanks man ! Good info !
Glad it was helpful!
Great contents! Thank you! 😃
My pleasure!
Really enjoy this channel James Baldwin should of done more stuff like this ❤❤❤
Thank you
Great, great video. thank you very much! loving the videos!
My pleasure
Just found your channel, this is invaluable thanks ✌🏾🙂
Awesome. Thanks for the nice feedback :)
@@danielmorad No problem. I noticed you use the Simucube pedals, you definitely have great taste. I will have to save up a long time... 😅
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Just found your channel. Great info and so well explained. I always tend to brake late and hard thinking this is the fastest way. Well...is not! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad this helps :)
Daniel you the man.
No, you!
Great tips, are these breaking tips in general techniques rather than game specific? I play iRacing, ACC and Raceroom and all three are a bit different when breaking into turns.
These would be more applicable to iRacing in real life. Some of these other simulators don’t use correct, braking technique that I would consider similar to real life.
Simplemente.... BRUTAL !!.... ❤❤
Whats up man, so the Nurburgring 24 is coming up and its going to be my first endurance event. Since you do the Daytona 24 and won it, I thought I ask you for some tips. Im mainly worried about the endurance part since I dont race for this long usually, any tips? Thanks man!
Go pee before you start driving.
Is that a Rolex date just in a rose gold Jubilee bracelet?? if so, that's class!! 👌
It is a date just. It’s a rolesor jubilee bracelet. Thank you!
Really good info but very collocated to get it right. Does this apply the all chassis layouts and driveline setups? Also left foot vs right foot braking?
Any difference or things to adjust when driving a GTE car with no abs? Things like adjusting brake pressure. Adjusting brake points etc?
Not really. Same technique applies.

Get ready for seeing this in chat every time you crash mate :D
Can’t wait haha
I actually moved away from braking points and moved into end of braking point instead. The reason for this is that I found it easier to set the correct entry speed plus that the laps differ a bit or in race it might actually be quite drastic different. //Motorcycle world stage veteran and pro level drifting coach
Nice. That sounds interesting.
There is a general tendency to approach the corner too fast e-x-a-c-t-l-y as you point out and by this the car has difficulty to turn the corner because the outside front wheel has still to much pressure on it and drivers can't step on the gas early. Ideally, as a driver that gets the breaking right, you can open the steering wheel earlier while simultaneously but progressively going on the gas. To get this right is the most important thing on a race track I believe.
OoooooOooooOooh I like this a lot! I wonder its application in rally🤔🤔🤔 thank you for the video!
So when you say lighter breaking, are we talking 50% and less or just 80% 'ish instead of 100%
Corner dependant. It comes down to the balance you feel in the car as well. Experiment in a faster corner with earlier braking but less pressure. If you’re braking at the “75” mark and at 50% pressure, if you feel like the balance is off or you’re over slowing the corner, brake earlier (around 100) but with only 35% pressure and slow down the trail brake. See how that changes things.
