At the part where you say follow the contour. I have 2 choices, spin out, or slam the wall. It's impossible to follow the contour. Is there something wrong with my wheel settings?
@42fingerz4 жыл бұрын
It's possible. It may be far too sensitive. Try turning your degrees of rotation up in your profiler.

Never fully lift off the gas. Lift half way then use the throttle to turn the car. Keep the steering straight ahead as much as possible. Straight ahead is fast, turning scrubs off speed.

I have the same problem, I have adjusted the car every way I know how and then started adjusting wheel settings. It seems that everyone is setting their wheel up differently, I play with those settings quite a bit and I’m getting close.What did help was in options you can put a green driving line around the track and it helps you stay in the groove a bit easier.

@billswitzer15165 жыл бұрын
Really an excellent video! I've been a dirt racing fan most of my life, and that's a very long time. When iRacing came out with dirt, wanted to try it but held off a little. Now, I'm in both hands and feet. As mentioned, the late model and this UMP are a bear to keep consistent. I have the same problem, many others mentioned. Entering the corner, it feels like it wants to rotate far too much, even going slowly. First priority will be trying your tips hoping they'll help. Driving a dirt car is a lot more difficult than most realize. I compare it to walking on eggs. You start hammering on these vehicles, and they'll bite you. At least to me, it feels easier to pilot a sprint car than the ump and late model? Anyway, thanks for making a KZbin of basic driving tips for the ump.
@42fingerz5 жыл бұрын
Most would agree it's "easier" to drive the sprint car compared to the UMP and Late. Driving a real dirt car is quite similar to these, but you don;t get the seat of the pants feel. Even on a 8" UMP tire in real life, it's a ton of sidebite and lateral G-forces. Have fun either way. I'm glad you found the videos useful.

I keep trying until I almost hate these things even though I want to learn them. I can't even make 3 clean slow laps with these. I also have the asphalt setups figured out but these setups are like trying to understand Chinese to me. I play with settings and it only gets worse. Please help me lol
@42fingerz5 жыл бұрын
Try the tips from this video. In time, it will make a huge difference. When you start to get upset, just stop for a while and return later. These and the lates are definitely the most difficult because as they "fall off the bars" it will shoot the front end of the car to the right. Once you can keep the left rear of the car jacked up, it will become easier to drive.

Terrific video ... loved it. I would make a suggestion for future videos: turn off the spotter, and turn down the engine sound relative to your voice. It was difficult to hear some of your commentary, especially near the end where you were on the throttle all the way around the track. Otherwise, i loved it, and I'm going to try your suggestions.

Hey this tutorial was exactly what I needed. I was skating all over the tracks, wrecking constantly. You totally nailed this!! Within 20 minutes of practice I can now run consistently without wrecking and can qualify in the top ten in both late-models and modified. Haven;t tried this with SS yet but I'm sure it will work. 2 biggest helps were tweaking the cockpit cam with the camera tool, and the little thing you said about getting straight and using the flag stand as a guide to aim for. I found marks to hit on all the tracks and my times went down like crazy. Thanks so much for this. I was getting so frustrated with any dirt cars but the sprints. Excellent work!!

Yes, it has been updated to one gear because people were shifting and missing shifts to begin races. In late models the "1st" gear is just to get it rolling.
