I have only been sim racing for a couple weeks now, and your videos have already helped me gain literal seconds in my lap times. For Formula Vee what is your shifter setup? 6-speed with pedal clutch, sequential, paddles? I know it's slowing me down but i have been using auto-shift to lessen my learning at the moment and focus more on learning how to trail brake. Anyways, thanks Sambo!

Was not expecting to find this guide but just thought I’ll look it up. Thank you for making this!

Do you still run Garage 61? I follow you but can't see this lap... you'd have the fastest fixed time by 0.2 if you did!

Got a 59.7 on my first hour race session, thank you for the guide i’m going to try the sub 59 ahah

I HATE THIS TRACK

I know GR86 isn't that popular on youtube for some reason so thanks for covering this week's track, very much appreciated.

Thanks for the guide, always great tips and thank you for doing the Toyota!!

Hi there, what is your dsc set on here? Great guide!

Yo thanks for the track guide! Can I ask how your Racelab is showing the blips in the throttle? Mine doesn't show that, but I also have the autoblip/anti stall assist on in iRacing.

i think the 1.25 range some were doing was with old track limits. by best as of 2/3/25 is 1.262 i drop to 1st in those 2 turns you use 2nd. i haven’t noticed bad wheel spin. i hate when the rpms drop way down lol

Just got my first win today in the vee thanks to you!!!

ive been playing for a couple of days and for the french lap i got a 34.670 i have no idea how you even got a second and a half on that your absolute crazy

good lap, I like how you get the car pointed in under breaking

Great walk through. I watched this a few times. My Sim League is running these cars at this track, so this is a great heads up on how to get around.

I finally broke 2k iRating this week thanks Sam!

what software are you using that has the track map in the top right?

Hey man, thanks for the guide. Helpful as usual! I have noticed that the telemetry does not seem to follow your inputs when you are doing the breakdown lap, would love to see this as it would help to visualise the braking time and flow better if it was working.

Love your guides man! Thanks for your help

racing line being on makes me want to eat a bullet in the end

What's your brake bias for this run or is it just the default 58.0%?

thanks!! love your channel and guides. how much fuel are you running for that lap?

Do you have the basic weather preset ?

Just finished . I did a 1. 43 .3 . Do you think i'll be able to be competitive in top split?

Did you end up doing the guide on the clutch? Would love that, currently using auto blip

Some of this was comedy gold.

Dang Sam! Ur not just a coach, but you have ur craft down enough to stay near the top. Some other iRacing coaches can show you a good lap or two, but you have it down to stay strong even with everyone’s ego on the track.

I am a lower middle tier driver. But I drive at my “90% pace” which is the speed I’m 90% confident I can finish the whole race without losing control. I truck along at that speed and let other people make mistakes. I’ve also learned the value of letting fast and/aggressive drivers through without a fight. I find they often crash on their own ahead of me and I drive on by. Good video Sam

Just finish without damage and you're probably on the podium 😅

I'm watching the Bathurst practices, quali, and support races and I couldn't imagine the carnage of a F4 series here.

This about to be a death sentence 😂

Great race. Your races are better than F1!!!

Man Sambo idk how I missed this, I'm a newish racer. And obviously I do race with the racing line on, since I hate to sit in practice by myself and I do enjoy just hopping into races simply cuz it's fun and gain more experience by just racing. Always hated how all of these guides never give a visual of one lap with the racing line and if you try to get any advice about anything with it on they lose their minds As a newer racer it's much easier for me to learn first via the line, then focus on the track without it and see how to properly behave. Managed to hit a 1:33.5 yesterday in a race and am stoked, still not consistent with it tho haha great channel man thanks for this, I'll def stick around for the mx5 i'll never understand why people hate the line so much in iracing, it's static and overall pretty decent. The breaking/accelerate points are pretty close, while also giving you nice hints for during long corner of how to "hold" your car via throttle/braking. And cause it's static I can learn to get a feel for a track exactly with it, when to brake bit later, when bit earlier without looking for tiny things on track. While once I got the laps down THEN focusing on small things on track is sooo much quicker and easier

Looks fast 🤣🤣🤣

What brake bias are you running?

Thanks for using the straight to answer my question about where the most fun racing is in iRacing! Haha

Don’t know what it is about this track taken out from behind 3/6 times this week in high split. Maybe the draft just invites people in for low % moves.

Oops, didn't even know that I raced against Vee royalty earlier this week, now that I read your name 😄. Cracking race this 👍

Can't tell if it's dropped frames or low fps but the footage is pretty choppy. Great race though, cheers!

That's worse than the Sopranos ending!

"Re enter beautifully" and freeze frame. 😂

ok that Alex Bradley hobby joke got me good. It took me a second haha

Watching this at the end of my day with a cold beer in my hand….which I spat all over my screen. The racing was top shelf, but the running commentary was priceless. Thanks for the belly laugh, mate.

What comedy store do you work at! 😂 It was such a great race to ghost. I was up your a$$ when all the fun happened. Grass is not the issue to getting fast, wives are!

Can't believe I missed this. That rejoin though 🤣🤣 Gianni low-key trolling

Wow that’s fast!

that looks like johnny didnt rejoin very cleanly XD

Hate to be that guy, but you're pronouncing the track name wrong. Sick vid tho, very helpful even without the last corner haha.

Bro idk what it is but I literally do exactly what you do and I always spin out.

^thx a lot! drove my first 1.15.059 in a race 5 min ago. By the way my first season iRacing. From constant 1.17.xxx to constant 1.15.5 ish. thx a lot again
