MusicMadnessHD // Does my head in I brake early and make the turn then someone will just smash into the side of me and bounce into first meanwhile I'm in a wall.
MusicMadnessHD // Me to, I'm not a pro but the drivers in Assetto are much more respectfull. I understand sometimes you might make a mistake but you don't keep crashing every two seconds.
Judgey19XX yeah the mistakes are clearly accidental. Just from playing AC I myself have become a much better, cleaner and a more aware driver. Plus it feels great with a wheel.
Less than 2 years ago, this video introduced me to the world of simracing. I couldn't drive quickly to save my life, and it took a long time before I started really paying attention to my mistakes and fixing them. 1500 in-game hours later, I'm in an online racing league in Assetto Corsa, currently 2nd in a vintage F1 championship. Pretty cool how I can look back at this video knowing how much it single-handedly changed my life.
@BMO assetto corsa is mainly for pc because of the mods being the main selling point, and that really isn’t available on ps4, so you should buy gran turismo or stick with dirt rally 2.0
Ozzo Ruuska Yea I know right! When I'm on some server and you have that one perfect corner at a track and then all of sudden some idiot just decides to either purposely wreck you or just is going head on towards you and crashes into you.
Ozzo Ruuska then let him pass if he wants so much. And do the same thing to him but I will give you some advice. You don't shut down people to win against him. You kill his will to drive to win. If he rams you at 100 kmh then you ram him at 200 kmh but don't break your own car. Make him get pass by others.
Best tips for mostly every Driving Game in my opinion would be: Turn Off all Driver Aids, maybe keep ABS at first/ Also only manual or tiptronic mode Get on a easy track, Car not over 300hp Drive 3 - 5 training laps, get a feel for the car, but just cruise Go again, choose a different Drivetrain, same procedure Gradually increase your pace If you feel confident, get more agressive car and another track. Go like from a stock evo to a Porsche 911 or a M3, trackwise like Tsukuba to Fuji Again, same training laps Do that some time and you get better, even get on easy but equal races sometime so it doesn´t demotivate you As you got the feel, learn your lines and shave off times continually Maybe on that point you feel already a kinda rythm to your driving Do harder Races and cut your times and train your rythm You might now be the next Digital Fujiwara Clone :)
There's a tip I use all the time on endurance races, stay at the 2nd position if possible. You'll be much more fuel and tyre efficient keeping up with somone than trying to lose someone. Keep a good pace but attack a bit not to overtake the lead driver but just enough to stress him, it will be much esier too overtake him in the end.
Well the way I see things, by looking at your opponents lap times, the car they're driving, the track you're racing on, the weather, you could just build a solid strategy before the race itself, for instance if I drive a GTR GT500 on a rainy Suzuka I know that it's something I'm good at. Then by looking at the qualification lap times I can see who's dangerous or if I'm far ahead. That way I can make my own basic strategy that I would only tweak in the race itself. Follwing a strategy from the begining allows me to start the race with something less to think about. So I'll be more focused on driving and managing my car. :)
13:23 I like this one because it's all about getting into the mindset of "finishing the race as fast as possible doesn't matter, so long as it's faster than 2nd". By removing the stress of "I *must* be faster" you focus more on what you're doing, reminding yourself of your limits and staying within them - finishing the race is more important than beating a personal best.
During longer races, when I'm on 1st place and way ahead of others, I actually find it more difficult to slow down and just try to manage the race to the end than to go flat out all the time. Because when I'm going flat out then I'm 100% concentrated and I get into a rhythm and then when I suddenly try to go slower I tend to lose my concentration and I start making more mistakes than I would make if I would go flat out. Adjusting yourself to the changes in pace during a longer race isn't easy.
I am brazilian and watched this a time ago... now it appeared in my UA-cam and i'm surprised with portuguese subtitles! Thanks brother! Cheers from Brazil!
I can't believe I've never thought to use warning brake lights in game. I wonder if drivers will pay attention or care when damage is off... It's actually the reason I like starting from the back and work my way into the lead.
well, i consider myself a good racing games driver, i avoid ramming others players online even in games where is no penalization, heres a tip for that one corner where everyone smash everyone, SLOW DOWN without caring about position, most of the drivers will crash and you will recover time loss and some positions
I'm starting to race without the digital race line and online. It has been really a hard challenge for me, but this tips really helped me improve my skills in project cars and asseto corsa! Thank you very much.
Whever you are, thank you. These are the questions I have always wanted to ask but avoided doing so for not wanting to be mocked or told to "google it". Just simple nuanced stuff to improve my laptimes and keep the realism as high as possible.
There's still a lot more to learn for pro.and read it only if you aim to drive with theory and battle spirit. 1. Rythm : the way you execute the corner and straight they all have a rythm. Like you never accelerate before going out of a corner. And there's 2 advice. 1 figure out your opponent's rythm and follow it while you change it a little to tail gate your opponent and pressure him until he gave in and increase his pace and will eventually wear out his tire and make mistakes more often. 2 is a bit risky but it can save you from demonic opponent. Do same but this time you re the lead. Let your opponent watch your rythm and in a second lap let him pass and watch his rythm. ##Then reovertake him by suddenly changing your rythm to an aggressive one and pass him . Increasing your pace and pull away while he's still in confusion##. Warning that the second strategy needs lot of skill , patience , perception and most importantly , pressure your opponent in the second lap without wasting your tyre. The most important is tyre because how much your rythm change depends on it. Do not try this unless you're skill in controlling lap times or else it will turn on yourself. 2. Always be smarter than your opponents. Control his lap times . How to do it is easy. There are three ways to do so 1) It's like what I said earlier. Find this symbol on top##. 2) Surprise your opponent . You must know wether your car is faster or the driver is faster. Let's say your opponent driver is faster but your car is better than him. Do not show him the might of your car yet. Watch the map. If the map has a lot of slow corner at the start and high speed corner at the end then there's no point in trying to overtake him since you will be at disadvantage but do it in high speed section where your car has more power than him. 3)Do not fall into your opponent's trap. Be patient . If your opponent wants to make your rythm under their control they will do this without telling you. They will make fake mistake and when you try to go for it, they will reovertake you the second you pass them which will make them know you're not the strategic type. ( Base on other factors like map driver car etc) so observe it . If your opponent if already worn out his own mental fighting spirit, It's not a trap but if he's much smarter than you, don't go for it. You cannot beat those who you cannot outrun. So that's it. But I've got more to share but I'm tire already .
Kick him out of the lobby, or start a vote to kick him out of the lobby. Simply as that. The community health depends also on these little actions. :-)
Ozzeip Piezzo some people like to eat bananas while their driving in real life and toss the peel out the window(I've done it) But as it has been mentioned green turtle shells pose a greater threat to your safety.
I feel like I'm being coached by Ryosuke Takahashi. Useful tips. I hate being smashed *_PAUSE_* by beginners at the first corner or because they were just going too fast
I don't agree with your 7 seconds gap that you reduce to 2 seconds at the end of the 3 laps. I agree that reducing pace will give you less mistake, save tyre wear, and maybe fuel consumption. But reducing pace doesn't mean loosing 5 seconds in 3 laps. If you do one little mistake in your last lap, you ruin your race just by loosing that confortable cushion you had. Or let's say that you have a yellow flag zone or any lapped driver make a mistake in front of you. You never know what will happen in a race. reducing a gap you created is not what pro drivers do. Managing a race is more adapting your pace to maintain a gap. Look at F1 drivers, they make a big start to create a gap and they just manage to maintain this gap. If the gap lower, the race engineer will directly ask his driver to push and the reason the gap lower is because the driver behind is pushing. You adapt your pace to the driver behind to maintain your "safe" zone (if I can call it like that)
I've wondered why I think about my lap times so much and when I'm leadding I drive a little careless the way you showed 14 -15 minutes in.I'm a pilot not a car racer but I love working on cars and playing race games. I drive an older 1988 corvette but I'm not an idiot with it. Love the whole race community. And I enjoy these tips. I will have more fun when I'm not in the air. Take care.
Great video. You found some pretty praticable advices. Since then I dont agree with you when you say "Amateurs uses aids to drive fast" "Pros uses setups to drive fast" As an experienced driver I know completely what you talking about but it missguides the people a lot. Because a professionell driver who mastered techniques and adapt to certain theories while driving will be faster without a setup anyway. And often enough the gap between professionell drivers in a league is high enough that the better drivers can mess around with the slower. And so then the question is: "Why is this so?" The answer has to be: "They understood something others didnt" and as far we know that setups are just compromisses of how you understood the behavior of the car compared to your own driving style (which is determinted by your experience and knowledge) you can't really say that "setups" are the big difference between pros and amateurs. Setups are only a way of "talking" to our car. But if you didnt understand the basic theories you cant talk to you car. If you play with the sway bars and you dont know that the most value you get will be in middle of fast corners you may get a stiffer car but you wont understand why you excatly went faster. The biggest difference between certain driver skills were always the same. A beginner starts to be good at the exit of a turn. If you understand how you can manage a car without crashing through a turn you are a beginner. And most of all beginners wants to become faster which is easiest to archieve by focusing on the accerleration while exiting. That the reason why we teach every newcomer "slow in, fast out". But non of us tells a beginner that your tyres have a certain grip level which depends on your speed, mechanical & aero grip, the approach angle + the time it takes you to hit your slipangle. It would make no sense. So those people have to grow up and start wondering why people are faster then them. And so they start recognizing if you brake later and smoother you will be faster. Which brings the corner entry in their awarness. Now things get complicated because most people got told "slow in" but what is "slow" and what "too slow" If you manage to learn the very beginning of trial braking, how the car behave if you dont give any inputs while going over the apex, if you car starts turning smoothly into a corner - you finnaly become Amateur. You discovered the corner entry. And lastely the hardest part of the corner. The Midcorner section. If you are able to understand how your differential works, how to master techniques and adapt to them to hold the perfect speed you want over the apex you became a profesionell driver. This theory is quite common in the motorsport: Beginner learn the exit of a corner Amateurs learn the entry of a corner Pros learn the midsector of corner And everytime you learned how to constantly drive each part in an approriate way for your skilllevel you gain a place at the ladder. This is a huge difference to what you said even it wasnt completely false. The way you made people think about this topic and they may start their research about it could be very missleading.
Binat yeah true, someday i was on nurburgring in a ruf rgt gt3 stock racing a mclaren 12c gt3 with an advanced setup and i was keeping up. then he gave me the setup and i got my mclaren and beat him for a mile
Took these tips into Asphalt 8, a game probably not meant to be raced this way, and beat a lobby full of S-classes with an A-class car. Thanks for the help!
Disabling the break assist is really an important step forward. It's the point, at which you'll learn to feel the car. When to brake, when to go back o the throttle. It's not an information on the screen any longer, but a feeling. Disabling the rewind function in forza is also very helpful, since it makes errors much more relevant, so you'll learn when to brake, instead of trial and error your way through the corner.
Thank you man, I'm just starting my "career" in racing simulation, I bought a g29 but I had no idea how tough it's for a beginner. Your tips are being priceless. Tks dude.
in my opinion the virtual racing lines are completely useless considering I've never played a game where the in game line was the actual fastest line through a corner.
that prehistorik character touch in the end, and morpheus popping up, not to mention similarities in the driving techniques, everything in this vid is so to my taste. this guy probably around my age, clearly man of culture! keep it up. Gran Turismo fan here
11:38 the single most important hint for all interested in online sim racing. Even if you are one of the less skilled drivers. Be humble, drive fair, think and act with a common sense for fairness and sportsmanship. And you will experience a wonderful community and fantastic online races. Never forget, only practice really hones your skills.
I don't use virtual racing line, but it's on for braking, so I can see when I have to brake.. I could probably do it on my own, but it's hard when you race on different tracks all the time
I have a personal problem: I usually drive like in this video, but once there an opponent which is hard to catch up to, I get awfully aggressive and try to catch up to them at all costs, even if it means crashing into them with full speed on a corner.
You don't need to be the first one on all laps, the last one is the most important, just relax and you will be on 1st place! Also you can go aggressive, but you can't use other players as brakes lmao, keep practicing and remember this tip. 12:28
How do you use your eyes? Do you activily utilize them like your hands and feet? There is a video on youtube to how to utilize your eyes it is THE skill you need to become a good race driver. I dont know how good you are with your eyes. Took me a lot of practice to strave my eyes fast enough from point to point i need to look at. And then still if an opponent comes cross that way you got 2 basic problems: 1st) the point you want to look at is blocked by the car infront so you have to take a guess! 2nd) you get distracted and following with your eyes the back end of the car infront. The reason why I expect your eye-utilizing-skill as pretty low is that you mentioned it as a core problem of you. Going into a dog fight (i used that term from flight simulators) can be very satisfying but mostly isnt necessary in racing. If your opponent isnt kinda similar with his skill to yours or a little bit above in some parts of the race tracks you wont get any advantage of chasing his tail. There are mainly two reasons for that. 1st) if you got close to your frontcar THERE WAS A REASON why. So you can expect yourself to be faster or at least even. So why adapting to the racing line of the car infront if you want to pass him? Keep on concentrating to your line! Stick to it because you skilled to some point! Be confident. 2nd) it happens especally in the beginning sooooooo often that if someone failed to hit the braking zone he and the guy who is senselessly dog fighting going of the track for the exact same reasons! So finally you managed to pressure the guy or girl in front of you and then you go off track with him. Isnt this at least the highest motivation to change the habbit of dog fighting everyone? The way to solve this problem is pretty easy. Focusing on using your eyes! Everytime you approach a turn (for the beginning you really have to do it AT EVERY CORNER) remember yourself that your eyes have to watch at the same points they ever did and will: Brakezone Indicator (!), check the position of your car (USE the whole track), focusing the brake point, watch over to the apex, keep on imaging the racing line ALL THE TIME, as far as you are close to hit the apex swipe your eyes over to the exit. And if there is a car infront of you which is blocking these point (which narroly never happens expect you drive trucks xD) you pretend you see what you want to see. Ignore the car! Ignore the fact that someones existence could ever distract you while you are on the mission passing the corner as you praticed to! Everytime your eyes hit the back end of the other car and you track yourself sticking with your eyes at the tail start immitiadly to watch away! Find some other spots to watch at. Find information that are more important then the colours and sponsors you may see. The very art of driving fast is recognizing your opponents from a periphal point of your awarness. You need to be able to soak up the information your opponent is giving you while you stick to your plan. So its super important that you know where and why someone is braking at a certain position. On long and heavy braking zones the most common reason for an accident are brake point differences. 2 to 8m difference can cause a huge crash if you stick to your braking point. And if you dont know anything about the way the guy infront of you is approaching a corner your next overtake will always be a gamble. You can only trust your skills and hope that you hit the brake and throttle perfectly for the alternative racing line and the guy you want to pass isnt skilled enough to compete this approach. Its not quite that effective then knowing that the driver in front of you is braking 4m to early and decceleration the car 10km/h too much. But these are information you will never ever get when you forced your whole concentration on intuetively adapting the racing line of the car infront of you (what basically is dog fighting). I hope i could help you understanding why your eyes are important as your hands and feet even though they are not closely as the other parts of your body to controll the car. But in the end if you are no master in using your eyes you will limit all other skills you learn to become fast.
Practice till you know the track all racing drivers uses simulators and when they arrive at sight they bike, run of walk the track to check imperfections and repairs. Schumacher also tested the track limits in practice to know where to stay out of trouble and time a lap in your head. Drive fast and steady but slower in the rain to finish first first you have to finish watch Nürburgring. Don't copy paste the driver in front and make him your reference because he move the track don't.
Holy moly, you have an extensive knowledge of racing. I like racing games as well, not that great at them, but I always play with cockpit view and with keyboard. Currently playing GRID (first one) on extreme difficulty. One thing about the driving consistency, you named Alain Prost, but don't you think Ayrton Senna was a better driver because he took more risks?
Points of views. Taking risks isn't always the wisest decision: risks could make you win a race or ruin it. The 2 most iconic examples are the 1989 Japan GP and 1990 Japan GP: in both cases Senna caused crash/collision with Prost. Usually we see Prost as the "antagonist", but in my opinion he was the best because he was more mature on the track. Surely Senna was more entertaining to watch, but I think his driving style shouldn't be taken as 1st reference point from those who want to learn to race.
In one of those races Senna started on the bad side of the track, tho in first, he was trapped on the inside and crashed into Prost cause he would have to back WAY off to avoid any type of collision and he wasn't gonna do that
+Tontobeast25RR Senna planned to crash Prost in the first corner, partly because he was on the bad side of the track, partly to avenge himself for suzuka 89
Thank you so much! Been off games for a long time. Racing were my fav, but these new games are so much more technical and finicky. Helping tremendously.
Great video. Some useful tips here for all skill levels. I sometimes tend to not overtake someone purposely (maybe they're a bit erratic to defend their place) or maybe just for the thrill of chasing them. I usually push them (not literally) until they panic and make a mistake, then I'll overtake them. Not everyone does. But most of the time chasing 1st place they get lost watching you in their rear view that they could overshoot a brake zone or accelerate too hard and spin. By applying pressure to the driver in front of you, it could be an advantage to yourself. As long as you don't push too hard that you knock them off. That's a silly move. If I'm defending I tend to worry a bit whether the person behind me will brake at the right time or knock me off so I brake later which sometimes is good but could impact my exit acceleration. I have made these mistakes before and lost a place or 2. But that's what makes it great. Keep up the great videos.
Well,in the game I play,no virtual racing line,and I race without any assist,TC,Braking assist,steering assist,and I win everytime,thanks to you,keep up,bro!
Thanks for all the tips and work you put into these videos!! I used to just play burnout and NFS speed games but am learning to branch out to other sim-ish games because of your videos. Keep up the good work! Now into GT 5 , psp , and Grid.
Great example of good video without talking. I am a beginner in sim games. Started Project Cars yesterday, I'm loving it, but I have lot of difficulties about which gears I have to use in and out corners. Can you point me videos with examples of tracks, perfect laps... I'm that beginner guy who breaks wrong, low gear to much. I play on PC with a DFGT. Just subscribed your channel.
I remember watching viperconcepts original epic races , they soon lead to his championships etc. Back then he was getting between 2 and 400 views now look at him. You've come so far man ! I'm glad I've been watching you since the beginning !
Antoine Balcerzak in case you were curious, afraided isn't a word, the proper term would either be "scared me" or "made me afraid" Just helping out. But I agree, I jumped out of my seat when I saw that
Thank you so much for making these video. I'm still learning and these tips are extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make these. I know appreciate it greatly.
Most online racers don't brake. They just ram the car in front and use them to slow their car down for the turn.
jdmikeg4 the definition of forza online.
MusicMadnessHD // Does my head in I brake early and make the turn then someone will just smash into the side of me and bounce into first meanwhile I'm in a wall.
Judgey19XX yeah it's frustrating, I moved to Assetto Corsa!
MusicMadnessHD // Me to, I'm not a pro but the drivers in Assetto are much more respectfull. I understand sometimes you might make a mistake but you don't keep crashing every two seconds.
Judgey19XX yeah the mistakes are clearly accidental. Just from playing AC I myself have become a much better, cleaner and a more aware driver. Plus it feels great with a wheel.
Less than 2 years ago, this video introduced me to the world of simracing. I couldn't drive quickly to save my life, and it took a long time before I started really paying attention to my mistakes and fixing them.
1500 in-game hours later, I'm in an online racing league in Assetto Corsa, currently 2nd in a vintage F1 championship. Pretty cool how I can look back at this video knowing how much it single-handedly changed my life.
Yes these tips have even helped me do ovals in iracing
Thats a great story im still learning how to these stuff
I’m 63, good to know it took 1500 hrs. I got all damn day, every day!!!
That's amazing.
@BMO assetto corsa is mainly for pc because of the mods being the main selling point, and that really isn’t available on ps4, so you should buy gran turismo or stick with dirt rally 2.0
race line ? nonsense i use ultra super late braking
Ryan Kharisma You'll end up understeering all the way to guardrail lol
The Peng Lord unless you know how *super ultra supreme latu brakingu* works
this circuit-racing technique requires full concentration
God Foots technik i respect that (I sometimes forget to break entirely cuz i didn't yell some nonsense)
*SUPAAAAAA LATOOOO BRAAAAKING*
Why am I watching this at 2 am in the morning? Tomorrow is Monday and I still have some homework... I dont' even play racing games...
Same
relatable
Dumb
You must be prepared for any situation in life!
Me too xd
Anyone remember back in the ps1 and ps2 days where you'd have to throttle control with the 'x' button?
waights02 miss that :(
waights02 And now we have advanced vibrating triggers (if you actually use a controller)
Or you had to push the right stick forward
i dont know it feels more realistic
thats throttle control right there
Step 1 Ride an AE86
Step 2 Turn on Eurobeat
Step 3 Drive like takumi
Lol
Step 5: Realize you were never in a tofu delivery car, but in an S13.
Dankos Erotica Or a Civic :|
in true, I want drive like Bunta, I don't want drive an old fucked car who delivers tofu, I want drive a Subaru and race against Ayrton Senna...
And the most important thing, the glass of water.
The problem is those 4 yrs old kids that crashes in you all the time.
Ozzo Ruuska Yea I know right! When I'm on some server and you have that one perfect corner at a track and then all of sudden some idiot just decides to either purposely wreck you or just is going head on towards you and crashes into you.
Oh hell no
My nephew does this when I play forza with him. Just crashes into me all the time.
So true... just had a gt3 race right now and i got rammed out at the beginning but made it to 10th place after i was 23rd
Ozzo Ruuska then let him pass if he wants so much. And do the same thing to him but I will give you some advice. You don't shut down people to win against him. You kill his will to drive to win. If he rams you at 100 kmh then you ram him at 200 kmh but don't break your own car. Make him get pass by others.
"slow in, fast out"
Works in the bedroom too.
aguyandhiscomputer yeah I take my time to get to bed. but then I gotta rush the fuck out to take a shit.
I'm gay
I was talking about SEX with my wife but I like your thought process. I always take my time during my DD (daily dump).
aguyandhiscomputer this reminds me of a Dave Chappell joke 😂
Best tips for mostly every Driving Game in my opinion would be:
Turn Off all Driver Aids, maybe keep ABS at first/ Also only manual or tiptronic mode
Get on a easy track, Car not over 300hp
Drive 3 - 5 training laps, get a feel for the car, but just cruise
Go again, choose a different Drivetrain, same procedure
Gradually increase your pace
If you feel confident, get more agressive car and another track. Go like from a stock evo to a Porsche 911 or a M3, trackwise like Tsukuba to Fuji
Again, same training laps
Do that some time and you get better, even get on easy but equal races sometime so it doesn´t demotivate you
As you got the feel, learn your lines and shave off times continually
Maybe on that point you feel already a kinda rythm to your driving
Do harder Races and cut your times and train your rythm
You might now be the next Digital Fujiwara Clone :)
There's a tip I use all the time on endurance races, stay at the 2nd position if possible. You'll be much more fuel and tyre efficient keeping up with somone than trying to lose someone. Keep a good pace but attack a bit not to overtake the lead driver but just enough to stress him, it will be much esier too overtake him in the end.
You're sadistic with your opponents! :-D
Well a race is just as much about managing your car and stress than driving around the track. ^^
You're absolutely right. But personally I prefer to be less "evil" and using your strategy when I'm on trouble only. :P
Well the way I see things, by looking at your opponents lap times, the car they're driving, the track you're racing on, the weather, you could just build a solid strategy before the race itself, for instance if I drive a GTR GT500 on a rainy Suzuka I know that it's something I'm good at. Then by looking at the qualification lap times I can see who's dangerous or if I'm far ahead. That way I can make my own basic strategy that I would only tweak in the race itself. Follwing a strategy from the begining allows me to start the race with something less to think about. So I'll be more focused on driving and managing my car. :)
+viperconcept Will you do a setup guide for GT Sport? Also, are you going to get Assetto Corsa (console edition)?
13:23 I like this one because it's all about getting into the mindset of "finishing the race as fast as possible doesn't matter, so long as it's faster than 2nd". By removing the stress of "I *must* be faster" you focus more on what you're doing, reminding yourself of your limits and staying within them - finishing the race is more important than beating a personal best.
Now i'm good at Mario Kart
StrandedCat BRUH
Stranded Cat and I’m still bad assetto Corsa
me too
yup that the idea
Lmaaooo
10:17 i was so frightened lol, damn car scared my ass....just poped up
Right!? Legit made me gasp and jump in my seat. lol
Imagine that happening while on VR
Shane Salmon w
hahaha
During longer races, when I'm on 1st place and way ahead of others, I actually find it more difficult to slow down and just try to manage the race to the end than to go flat out all the time. Because when I'm going flat out then I'm 100% concentrated and I get into a rhythm and then when I suddenly try to go slower I tend to lose my concentration and I start making more mistakes than I would make if I would go flat out. Adjusting yourself to the changes in pace during a longer race isn't easy.
Ik this is 5 years later but that’s literally the exact same thing that I do
I am brazilian and watched this a time ago... now it appeared in my UA-cam and i'm surprised with portuguese subtitles!
Thanks brother!
Cheers from Brazil!
muito provavelmente a legenda não foi feita por ele. mas o cara que fez merece a consideração do mesmo jeito.
I can't believe I've never thought to use warning brake lights in game. I wonder if drivers will pay attention or care when damage is off... It's actually the reason I like starting from the back and work my way into the lead.
well, i consider myself a good racing games driver, i avoid ramming others players online even in games where is no penalization, heres a tip for that one corner where everyone smash everyone, SLOW DOWN without caring about position, most of the drivers will crash and you will recover time loss and some positions
Adolf you might also prevent yourself from having to put because of that as well, pushing you further ahead
Adolf this is if u are on public servers tho
8:32 this will prevent accidents
*turns into car*
It was just a bump 😑
Artistic Cuts Salon&Spa It was just a joke 😑
Just a tap but it really can cause an accident
I'm starting to race without the digital race line and online. It has been really a hard challenge for me, but this tips really helped me improve my skills in project cars and asseto corsa! Thank you very much.
This video feels and has the same quality of a video made in 2006 yet it was made in 2016.
Kostas Sterling True that, I'd say 2009 though...
Kostas Sterling I mean, it's still pretty good, I learned new things, the music is soothing, and the quality is nice
But its pretty good
Agree, Nice video !
nothing to change
Which makes it even better.
Whever you are, thank you. These are the questions I have always wanted to ask but avoided doing so for not wanting to be mocked or told to "google it". Just simple nuanced stuff to improve my laptimes and keep the realism as high as possible.
A tutorial video not only to aid you in improving and honing your skills, but to also build sportsmanships, and a healthy community? Kudos to you!
I dont know why i watched this. I dont play racing games but it was interesting! :D
DJ ST7 ya i m too more into fps games like csgo but i liked this one
watching him race and teach is a joy :D
You should test forza horizon 4 it will be EPIC
There is Beginners-Amateurs-Pros and then there is Bunta Fujiwara.
weird but this is make no sense my mustang detect cops not crowd
Yeah
Fujiyoshi
Nani?!
Crysakias wat
Man... The montage, the examples, the advises,... Everything!
Thank you bro! You Roll it with ease 👌
classic toca 2 menu screen song ah, amazing video too :)
Dan I recognised it immediately :'D I wonder if there's any way to get the game still?
Dan
Formula one 98
was wondering this too but couldnt remember i loved that game and the music :D
Alex JDM45 OMG i still have my F1 98 and a PS2 to play it!
***** What do you mean "so?"
I wouldnt use another drivers brake lights as a reference, in case they are wrong, too early or too late
thanks, will try this in mario kart👌
DankErikk 👍
I want to try it in CTR too. 😂😂
I will try it in a drag racing game
S G T Pinguin Imma try this in battlefield
Ima try this on CarXDrift
There's still a lot more to learn for pro.and read it only if you aim to drive with theory and battle spirit.
1. Rythm : the way you execute the corner and straight they all have a rythm. Like you never accelerate before going out of a corner. And there's 2 advice. 1 figure out your opponent's rythm and follow it while you change it a little to tail gate your opponent and pressure him until he gave in and increase his pace and will eventually wear out his tire and make mistakes more often. 2 is a bit risky but it can save you from demonic opponent. Do same but this time you re the lead. Let your opponent watch your rythm and in a second lap let him pass and watch his rythm. ##Then reovertake him by suddenly changing your rythm to an aggressive one and pass him . Increasing your pace and pull away while he's still in confusion##. Warning that the second strategy needs lot of skill , patience , perception and most importantly , pressure your opponent in the second lap without wasting your tyre. The most important is tyre because how much your rythm change depends on it. Do not try this unless you're skill in controlling lap times or else it will turn on yourself.
2. Always be smarter than your opponents. Control his lap times . How to do it is easy. There are three ways to do so 1) It's like what I said earlier. Find this symbol on top##. 2) Surprise your opponent . You must know wether your car is faster or the driver is faster. Let's say your opponent driver is faster but your car is better than him. Do not show him the might of your car yet. Watch the map. If the map has a lot of slow corner at the start and high speed corner at the end then there's no point in trying to overtake him since you will be at disadvantage but do it in high speed section where your car has more power than him. 3)Do not fall into your opponent's trap. Be patient . If your opponent wants to make your rythm under their control they will do this without telling you. They will make fake mistake and when you try to go for it, they will reovertake you the second you pass them which will make them know you're not the strategic type. ( Base on other factors like map driver car etc) so observe it . If your opponent if already worn out his own mental fighting spirit, It's not a trap but if he's much smarter than you, don't go for it. You cannot beat those who you cannot outrun.
So that's it. But I've got more to share but I'm tire already .
bruh u ever smelledf a track?
Any tips on countering someone who decides to ram you full power at 300kph in a corner?
Kick him out of the lobby, or start a vote to kick him out of the lobby. Simply as that.
The community health depends also on these little actions. :-)
Brake and wait w/ steering, let him run past you (wait for eurobeat to intensify) and go!
Laugh about it go to pits and try again next race. It is after all a virtual world.
stop playing forza
stickydude Pretend like your going one way and then suddenly go the other. Usually quite easy
but what do you do about banana peels?
Golden Grenadier just hop over em no biggie
Green shells are more of a problem
Anthony Lopez
slip and slide
Ozzeip Piezzo some people like to eat bananas while their driving in real life and toss the peel out the window(I've done it) But as it has been mentioned green turtle shells pose a greater threat to your safety.
man you are so pro, nice!
YES NOT BAD
NOT BAD
6 Years later I'm discovering this amazing advice for my own beginner sim racing.
Thanks for this video. 👍
this is why I play need for speed, I suck at racing games
AsphaltPlays right now nfs 2015 and criterion most wanted
Hier Roasler so realistic that game. I play it everyday
nfs the run was a very underrated game
true
I liked NFS Undercover.
This video is awesome, it will be pretty useful to me, i'm a beginner and the brake part is what i've been need to improve more my gameplay.
I feel like I'm being coached by Ryosuke Takahashi.
Useful tips. I hate being smashed *_PAUSE_* by beginners at the first corner or because they were just going too fast
Initial Friggin D. I love it.
or asshats who are mostly found on the consoles in fh3
most ppl of the F1 2016 online racers need this..
agreed
DutchGamePlayMaker
f1 online is like a circus
DutchGamePlayMaker F1 Racing games are a joke and are treated as such.
maybe these guys are waiting for the braking lights ;) gotta wait a long time, son
join a league and you will have pretty good races.
I dont use Alain Prost Strategy. I use Ayrton Senna Strategy. I always do my best
That or pushing the car too much like Maldonado
or cryin for tyres strategy
or the Alonso strategy, outperform the shit out of literal garbage
Or let the guys in pole position knock themselves out and take the lead strategy
@@magnussencube Yeah that's another good one
I don't agree with your 7 seconds gap that you reduce to 2 seconds at the end of the 3 laps.
I agree that reducing pace will give you less mistake, save tyre wear, and maybe fuel consumption.
But reducing pace doesn't mean loosing 5 seconds in 3 laps. If you do one little mistake in your last lap, you ruin your race just by loosing that confortable cushion you had. Or let's say that you have a yellow flag zone or any lapped driver make a mistake in front of you. You never know what will happen in a race. reducing a gap you created is not what pro drivers do. Managing a race is more adapting your pace to maintain a gap. Look at F1 drivers, they make a big start to create a gap and they just manage to maintain this gap. If the gap lower, the race engineer will directly ask his driver to push and the reason the gap lower is because the driver behind is pushing. You adapt your pace to the driver behind to maintain your "safe" zone (if I can call it like that)
Great advice with good examples. Efficient delivery and accurate, insightful information. Thank you very much.
I've wondered why I think about my lap times so much and when I'm leadding I drive a little careless the way you showed 14 -15 minutes in.I'm a pilot not a car racer but I love working on cars and playing race games. I drive an older 1988 corvette but I'm not an idiot with it. Love the whole race community. And I enjoy these tips. I will have more fun when I'm not in the air. Take care.
Great video. You found some pretty praticable advices. Since then I dont agree with you when you say "Amateurs uses aids to drive fast" "Pros uses setups to drive fast" As an experienced driver I know completely what you talking about but it missguides the people a lot. Because a professionell driver who mastered techniques and adapt to certain theories while driving will be faster without a setup anyway. And often enough the gap between professionell drivers in a league is high enough that the better drivers can mess around with the slower. And so then the question is: "Why is this so?" The answer has to be: "They understood something others didnt" and as far we know that setups are just compromisses of how you understood the behavior of the car compared to your own driving style (which is determinted by your experience and knowledge) you can't really say that "setups" are the big difference between pros and amateurs. Setups are only a way of "talking" to our car. But if you didnt understand the basic theories you cant talk to you car. If you play with the sway bars and you dont know that the most value you get will be in middle of fast corners you may get a stiffer car but you wont understand why you excatly went faster.
The biggest difference between certain driver skills were always the same. A beginner starts to be good at the exit of a turn. If you understand how you can manage a car without crashing through a turn you are a beginner. And most of all beginners wants to become faster which is easiest to archieve by focusing on the accerleration while exiting. That the reason why we teach every newcomer "slow in, fast out". But non of us tells a beginner that your tyres have a certain grip level which depends on your speed, mechanical & aero grip, the approach angle + the time it takes you to hit your slipangle. It would make no sense. So those people have to grow up and start wondering why people are faster then them. And so they start recognizing if you brake later and smoother you will be faster. Which brings the corner entry in their awarness. Now things get complicated because most people got told "slow in" but what is "slow" and what "too slow" If you manage to learn the very beginning of trial braking, how the car behave if you dont give any inputs while going over the apex, if you car starts turning smoothly into a corner - you finnaly become Amateur. You discovered the corner entry.
And lastely the hardest part of the corner. The Midcorner section. If you are able to understand how your differential works, how to master techniques and adapt to them to hold the perfect speed you want over the apex you became a profesionell driver.
This theory is quite common in the motorsport:
Beginner learn the exit of a corner
Amateurs learn the entry of a corner
Pros learn the midsector of corner
And everytime you learned how to constantly drive each part in an approriate way for your skilllevel you gain a place at the ladder. This is a huge difference to what you said even it wasnt completely false. The way you made people think about this topic and they may start their research about it could be very missleading.
Binat yeah true, someday i was on nurburgring in a ruf rgt gt3 stock racing a mclaren 12c gt3 with an advanced setup and i was keeping up. then he gave me the setup and i got my mclaren and beat him for a mile
Damn, I didn't expect, that I can learn something new about racing!This is great video!You improved my driving skills a lot!
As a beginning Sim racer, this is exactly what I've been wanting to know, and some interesting points I never considered. Thanks!
10:18 literally had me jump back in my chair, almost forgot that Im not actually doing the driving.
Took these tips into Asphalt 8, a game probably not meant to be raced this way, and beat a lobby full of S-classes with an A-class car. Thanks for the help!
Disabling the break assist is really an important step forward. It's the point, at which you'll learn to feel the car. When to brake, when to go back o the throttle. It's not an information on the screen any longer, but a feeling. Disabling the rewind function in forza is also very helpful, since it makes errors much more relevant, so you'll learn when to brake, instead of trial and error your way through the corner.
this is very helpful, thank you for the tips!
Third time watching, every time I feel like if I'm getting better, I come back here :)
Thank you man, I'm just starting my "career" in racing simulation, I bought a g29 but I had no idea how tough it's for a beginner.
Your tips are being priceless.
Tks dude.
in my opinion the virtual racing lines are completely useless considering I've never played a game where the in game line was the actual fastest line through a corner.
troy barnhouse i only use it if i dont know the track, i found that turning it off, im able to set significantly quicker times
troy barnhouse are you related to Tim Barnhouse by chance?
Because you get rid of your eyes being focussed on the line. It irritates you even if you try not to use it. For learning the track it is good though.
"crossing the racing lines" is properly called a switchback or cutback.
that prehistorik character touch in the end, and morpheus popping up, not to mention similarities in the driving techniques, everything in this vid is so to my taste. this guy probably around my age, clearly man of culture!
keep it up.
Gran Turismo fan here
And, never play with a keyboard... I need a stering wheel....
There is one game with perfect keyboard controls..unfortunately the only one and a bit old-GT legends.
What game it is?
GT Legends
Steering wheels are expensive tho
Yes they are...
Don't break trust me I'm an expert.
tony pereira Break what?
Yeah brakeing is for casuals
I dont brake
*I handbrake*
Thank you ! You're my angel. I followed your advice, and now...
I"m in heaven
tony pereira I don't break . I brake.
I’ve just discovered this channel and it’s the fifth video in a row that i’ve watched. I loved it! You have a new fan! Thanks a lot!
Great video man! I just got into racing games and the community has been great so far! Learned from this video... time to keep practicing in PC2 :P
Perfect video. Amazing man! You are from the old times as me.
11:38 the single most important hint for all interested in online sim racing.
Even if you are one of the less skilled drivers. Be humble, drive fair, think and act with a common sense for fairness and sportsmanship. And you will experience a wonderful community and fantastic online races.
Never forget, only practice really hones your skills.
Great vid bro, thanks for the tips!
The dude with a keyboard:
How tf do I make a perfect speed?
I love guides like this one. It really shows that you know what you’re talking about and that you’re a true pro:)
I don't use virtual racing line, but it's on for braking, so I can see when I have to brake.. I could probably do it on my own, but it's hard when you race on different tracks all the time
Learn to memorize turns quickly
TheLazyDuck practice mode. why do you think they have practice? for car setup and to remeber how the track drives
Wow very complete video
I like coming back to these materials - very substantive content
Cool video
makes me want to start playing some Mario kart :p
I have a personal problem: I usually drive like in this video, but once there an opponent which is hard to catch up to, I get awfully aggressive and try to catch up to them at all costs, even if it means crashing into them with full speed on a corner.
speedm222 i have also this Problem :D
lol that's me as well but you just gotta relax
You don't need to be the first one on all laps, the last one is the most important, just relax and you will be on 1st place!
Also you can go aggressive, but you can't use other players as brakes lmao, keep practicing and remember this tip.
12:28
How do you use your eyes? Do you activily utilize them like your hands and feet? There is a video on youtube to how to utilize your eyes it is THE skill you need to become a good race driver. I dont know how good you are with your eyes. Took me a lot of practice to strave my eyes fast enough from point to point i need to look at. And then still if an opponent comes cross that way you got 2 basic problems: 1st) the point you want to look at is blocked by the car infront so you have to take a guess! 2nd) you get distracted and following with your eyes the back end of the car infront.
The reason why I expect your eye-utilizing-skill as pretty low is that you mentioned it as a core problem of you. Going into a dog fight (i used that term from flight simulators) can be very satisfying but mostly isnt necessary in racing. If your opponent isnt kinda similar with his skill to yours or a little bit above in some parts of the race tracks you wont get any advantage of chasing his tail. There are mainly two reasons for that. 1st) if you got close to your frontcar THERE WAS A REASON why. So you can expect yourself to be faster or at least even. So why adapting to the racing line of the car infront if you want to pass him? Keep on concentrating to your line! Stick to it because you skilled to some point! Be confident. 2nd) it happens especally in the beginning sooooooo often that if someone failed to hit the braking zone he and the guy who is senselessly dog fighting going of the track for the exact same reasons! So finally you managed to pressure the guy or girl in front of you and then you go off track with him. Isnt this at least the highest motivation to change the habbit of dog fighting everyone?
The way to solve this problem is pretty easy. Focusing on using your eyes! Everytime you approach a turn (for the beginning you really have to do it AT EVERY CORNER) remember yourself that your eyes have to watch at the same points they ever did and will: Brakezone Indicator (!), check the position of your car (USE the whole track), focusing the brake point, watch over to the apex, keep on imaging the racing line ALL THE TIME, as far as you are close to hit the apex swipe your eyes over to the exit. And if there is a car infront of you which is blocking these point (which narroly never happens expect you drive trucks xD) you pretend you see what you want to see. Ignore the car! Ignore the fact that someones existence could ever distract you while you are on the mission passing the corner as you praticed to! Everytime your eyes hit the back end of the other car and you track yourself sticking with your eyes at the tail start immitiadly to watch away! Find some other spots to watch at. Find information that are more important then the colours and sponsors you may see.
The very art of driving fast is recognizing your opponents from a periphal point of your awarness. You need to be able to soak up the information your opponent is giving you while you stick to your plan. So its super important that you know where and why someone is braking at a certain position. On long and heavy braking zones the most common reason for an accident are brake point differences. 2 to 8m difference can cause a huge crash if you stick to your braking point. And if you dont know anything about the way the guy infront of you is approaching a corner your next overtake will always be a gamble. You can only trust your skills and hope that you hit the brake and throttle perfectly for the alternative racing line and the guy you want to pass isnt skilled enough to compete this approach. Its not quite that effective then knowing that the driver in front of you is braking 4m to early and decceleration the car 10km/h too much. But these are information you will never ever get when you forced your whole concentration on intuetively adapting the racing line of the car infront of you (what basically is dog fighting).
I hope i could help you understanding why your eyes are important as your hands and feet even though they are not closely as the other parts of your body to controll the car. But in the end if you are no master in using your eyes you will limit all other skills you learn to become fast.
Binat lol just give me the link to that video
Great lesson here ! Thank you for sharing it with us, it’s still helpful after 7 years !!
viper is my personal virtual racing instructor lol, master teach me!!
Practice till you know the track all racing drivers uses simulators and when they arrive at sight they bike, run of walk the track to check imperfections and repairs. Schumacher also tested the track limits in practice to know where to stay out of trouble and time a lap in your head. Drive fast and steady but slower in the rain to finish first first you have to finish watch Nürburgring. Don't copy paste the driver in front and make him your reference because he move the track don't.
A huge thanks. I have been working on the skills but never had a PS4 till now. I am so grateful.
Holy moly, you have an extensive knowledge of racing. I like racing games as well, not that great at them, but I always play with cockpit view and with keyboard. Currently playing GRID (first one) on extreme difficulty. One thing about the driving consistency, you named Alain Prost, but don't you think Ayrton Senna was a better driver because he took more risks?
Points of views.
Taking risks isn't always the wisest decision: risks could make you win a race or ruin it. The 2 most iconic examples are the 1989 Japan GP and 1990 Japan GP: in both cases Senna caused crash/collision with Prost.
Usually we see Prost as the "antagonist", but in my opinion he was the best because he was more mature on the track.
Surely Senna was more entertaining to watch, but I think his driving style shouldn't be taken as 1st reference point from those who want to learn to race.
In one of those races Senna started on the bad side of the track, tho in first, he was trapped on the inside and crashed into Prost cause he would have to back WAY off to avoid any type of collision and he wasn't gonna do that
+viperconcept coming from a Brazilian, that's true, but we got also Nelson pique, crazy but smart
+Tontobeast25RR Senna planned to crash Prost in the first corner, partly because he was on the bad side of the track, partly to avenge himself for suzuka 89
Redbeard Raph He's a unicum
Great video, taught me a fair few things.
Thank you so much! Been off games for a long time. Racing were my fav, but these new games are so much more technical and finicky. Helping tremendously.
I think the most common mistake drivers make is breaking too late and lost gripping
Thumbs up for the f1 1998 menu soundtrack
I thought it was a Burnout 2 OST
ua-cam.com/video/5woHE_cEjSo/v-deo.html
Sounded more like toca racing soundtrack 🤔
It’s Toca2
No, its Burnout
I don’t know if there’s also in burnout but it’s absolutely in toca 2, 1998, codemaster
Great video. Some useful tips here for all skill levels. I sometimes tend to not overtake someone purposely (maybe they're a bit erratic to defend their place) or maybe just for the thrill of chasing them. I usually push them (not literally) until they panic and make a mistake, then I'll overtake them. Not everyone does. But most of the time chasing 1st place they get lost watching you in their rear view that they could overshoot a brake zone or accelerate too hard and spin. By applying pressure to the driver in front of you, it could be an advantage to yourself. As long as you don't push too hard that you knock them off. That's a silly move. If I'm defending I tend to worry a bit whether the person behind me will brake at the right time or knock me off so I brake later which sometimes is good but could impact my exit acceleration. I have made these mistakes before and lost a place or 2. But that's what makes it great. Keep up the great videos.
a tradition in gran turismo series, 100% understeer on all cars except on formula/redbull the company that paid the most for promotion
You do know on the braking for the Turns you have mile markers that specifically tell you the distance left on the turn
Well,in the game I play,no virtual racing line,and I race without any assist,TC,Braking assist,steering assist,and I win everytime,thanks to you,keep up,bro!
The best part of your vid is hearing the menu music from Formula One 1998!!!
I've never thought of memorizing a point to start breaking. That's already enough to improve my driving technique.
Thanks for all the tips and work you put into these videos!! I used to just play burnout and NFS speed games but am learning to branch out to other sim-ish games because of your videos. Keep up the good work! Now into GT 5 , psp , and Grid.
Great example of good video without talking. I am a beginner in sim games. Started Project Cars yesterday, I'm loving it, but I have lot of difficulties about which gears I have to use in and out corners. Can you point me videos with examples of tracks, perfect laps... I'm that beginner guy who breaks wrong, low gear to much.
I play on PC with a DFGT.
Just subscribed your channel.
Rodolfo Valiati just practice. It takes to time to get the "feel" but eventually you'll get it, so just keep racing and learn from your mistakes :)
just so you know, your "crossing the racing lines" is called a cutback
I just like to call it: "The Verstappen"
I want to hug you when I saw the amateur part, really happy to subscribe to your channel which ended up me liking sim racing.
Tip 1, drive from the cockpit view (or the hood)
why you dont just use the refference points on the track? like the 200,150,100 meters marks,that are made for that
Because not all the racetracks have them.
But of course, if they're present, it's even easier to calculate the braking point. ^^
+viperconcept you're right,nice tips,love your videos pal!!
Those can also get knocked off my cars... Bridges can't for example.
viperconcept what is the game you play in this video?
thefirstonesitting A bridge could be knocked off if the right person does it. ;)
(rammer reference)
Just by watching this video, i have improved my drive skills 100%! Thank you
What a good video!
no need for breaking points when you are a boss at professional guessing
I remember watching viperconcepts original epic races , they soon lead to his championships etc.
Back then he was getting between 2 and 400 views now look at him.
You've come so far man ! I'm glad I've been watching you since the beginning !
I have been hesitating using the "slow in, fast out" method because I fear the person behind me will ram me into oblivion.
That TOCA music tho
Koen Slinkman I thought I was the only one who recognised that... It was the 1st game I played on PS1
Almost 2 million views? Way to go man. I was here since you barely got 10k views XD. You got me into racing sims viper i really owe you for that.
I should not play racing games. I'd just accelerant into corners and then use people turning to cushion my turn
Haha thats the best way to turn on rr3
True...
Steve Garland Yes true
I was so interested that the cars at 10:17 afraided me x)
Same lmao!
Haha! It scared the shit out of me! xD
Same here man.
Antoine Balcerzak in case you were curious, afraided isn't a word, the proper term would either be "scared me" or "made me afraid"
Just helping out. But I agree, I jumped out of my seat when I saw that
+Eddie Russell Thanks 4 your help man !
Thank you so much for making these video. I'm still learning and these tips are extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make these. I know appreciate it greatly.
oh my god this is so helpful thanks mate!!
but if i play with pc (keyboard, no joystick or other controller) how can i control my throttle...
Agustiar Falahi do a key to it...that's it
Very helpful to all drivers
