Good video! There is this one corner in Monza where I use track safety worker as an braking reference. Thank god the guy never moves:)

[@speedybeef]

The guy just before Ascari? XD Waiting for the day he steps 5 metres closer to the chicane, and screws everyone's race!

[@suusameister4707]

haha, yes!

[@GuiCSchs]

I'm afraid of the day that this guy is fired and I miss the braking point xD

[@christiansanchez1350]

Hahahaha me too! I though i was the only one fool about it.

[@amirhm6459]

hahahaha I think just me lol

[@CarlosPanades]

Considering you are speaking a non native idiom while driving and doing a tutorial you drove absolutely nice! Its a joy to see the dev of the game having so much fun with his own game, this is awesome! Great video Aris, keep up!

[@bradleydcruze]

HES A DEV OF THE GAME?

[@CarlosPanades]

​@@bradleydcruze according to his Facebook page (facebook.com/aristotelis.vasilakos), he makes cars handle and graphics shine. Also he describes himself as vehicle dynamics simulation at Assetto Corsa, therefore, yes he's one of the game's developers.

[@bradleydcruze]

@@CarlosPanades ohh that's so cool

[@rporta]

he is a dev? that's so cool

[@ziting5756]

The career mode is actually quite cool. Considering how AC basically simulates how real cars drive. The career mode is like a virtual driving school. It would be quite cool if they included a driving course that you could listen to while playing the game. I guess this does it

[@hmleao]

KZbin finally nailed a great suggestion. Aristotelis already helped me more than once in Assetto Corsa forums and to see a tutorial like this from him... That's great. Luckily more episodes will come.

[@thesaintscorner4490]

Great Great great

[@pearlrose20]

This is a lot harder than it looks! Thanks so much for the video. I'm having a lot of fun, getting a wee bit better but have a lot more practicing to do! And no worries about your English, it's very good and I had no problems listening at all.

[@HarrieWorst]

No problems with your English. It very good. Much better than our Dutch politicians which try to speak English fluently but really sounds like a crow in despair ;-) But to the serious side, what a great video and great explanation of the topic. The problem with most videos out there is that they go way to fast over the topic of using a track and often lacks showing the difference in a less optimal balance and a fast fix stable balance. It is a great video and it would be a killer to have a ongoing serie like this. And I personally even wouldn't mind it if it is going to be a paid service. I find it that good and usefull!

[@colinkramer36]

Cookie of own dough😂

[@nosalis]

yep, if someone is slow first thing to sort out is the driving lines, setup can help you find half a second, proper lines can find you 3 seconds :) great vid, thanks

[@cnc_channel510]

Setup can find you seconds as well

[@M1ggins]

@@cnc_channel510 it can indeed, I know my lines and braking points, but can't get my tyres green unless I start with blankets, and even then they are blue by lap 3.

[@roythompson7584]

i best get back to mario cart i am no good at this lol

[@Gallieg444]

Persistence!

@@Gallieg444 wise words

🤣🤣🤣

[@ScepticGinger89]

Same here. When I bought this I was like "oh great, I can participate in 60s formula 1 races in this game". I've played for a couple of days now and boy am I not even close to being able to participate in races. I'm actually really happy when I can finish two laps without leaving the track :D

[@domainmojo2162]

Wow! The dev speaking... This game got me into sim driving! Thanks Aris! (It inspired me to build my own wheel and pedals - and I'm planning my rig now) Subbed! - Love from Africa! EDIT: Wow! THAAANK YOUUU! I immediately tried to put all these to the test and from regularly ending up in 10th/11th- never even making it past 9th, I've now ended up 4th/5th 6 times in a row- and I've tested these techniques only 7 times in a row now! I used to slide or miss corners, understeer or oversteer all over the place, dreaded approaching corners- I wasn't in full control of the car, and now I feel like I'm flowing with the track! It was basically immediate improvement to 7th and then 5th! I didn;t think the improvement would be this quick and massive! Wow, wow, wow! "Slow in... fast out" Thanks buddy- you're a freakin hero man!

[@martinveres9863]

Damn it, after all this time i was trying to balance the temperatures of the tires, not the pressure. That explains things. Thanks for the driving tips, subscribed for more.

[@StirlingMossDrives]

I have equal tire pressure now after this but I can't get the right side warm. Decreasing tire pressure will give you more drag and warmer tires right?

[@martinveres9863]

Sir Moss, I honestly think you have the answer since you have more experience than myself :) Jokes aside, lower tire pressures should give more heat, equally decreasing on all 4 corners once you have the ideal pressures. Or you could try giving the wheel more camber, or toe if all else fails. But I don't think it matters too much, since I could easily do a 1.12:2 with relatively cold right side tires (65°C core max).

[@StirlingMossDrives]

Martin Veres Hahaha, thanks for the reply! I think I'm just too paranoid seeing blue color on the tires but they are pretty warm anyway.

[@EngTechGuy]

It's better to have optimum tire pressure than temperature. Look at the psi numbers and if they are in the green then you have the pressures right. You could change the compound to a softer tire to have better temperature but it's not necessary. Focus on pressure, not temperature. :)

[@arturjsf]

Noob question. Why is the tire pressure unbalanced between left and right tires? Its because of the track having so much right corners (so the left tires suffer more) or its because of the weight of the driver on the right seat?

[@PavelIsp]

Never driven track, just got myself a starter G29 wheel and needed exactly that. You sir got yourself a follower :) Thanks a lot!

[@biggusotongus1121]

This is as educational as you can get in 40 minutes of a driving sim video. Thank you, I think I learned so much from this. Just to put this into practice.... Reference point, reference point, reference point, got it.

[@HaCo81]

And your English is perfectly understandable, love the accent! :-)

[@gunbullit]

This video is like an island of hope in quality content about AC in the KZbin ocean... Aris, please, continue with the series about Assetto Corsa. Yorkie did for PCars2. Assetto Corsa is devoted for the serious sim racer and a material like this would be great, the No 1 reference. Please, consider it with care. The community would appreciate it. Thank you for posting. L&S.

[@Dogboy73]

I need this. First time playing AC in VR over the last couple of days. Thought I was going fast ........... then I had a race!! :-/

[@canjicanordestina]

Near 26:10 is when the tyre pressure topic is discussed. Great video!

[@TarzanGTI]

I'm 15, been playing Assetto for almost two years now on my Thrustmaster TMX with T3PA pedals and TH8A shifter. I'm so accustomed to left foot braking from starting off with go karts and Ross Bentley. First time I drove a car, kept left foot braking lol, need to break the habit when driving on the street.

[@sergiofn01]

It's fine to left foot break in the street if you are not going to downshift, every time you have to break a bit without having to downshift left foot braking is good.

[@apike_72]

Really enjoyed your video, and your easy explanations of the set-up changes and replay breakdowns.

[@ttco007]

Great video, hope to see a lot more tutorials like this! Especially tips like the one at 36:20 - things like that might seem trivial to some, but I bet a lot of drivers make errors like that all the time (myself included)! And of course, as many already commented, a couple of in-depth setup tutorials would be much appreciated. Also, while on the subject, I think the in-game descriptions of setup options could use a lot of work too, especially for those of us not savvy in car mechanic/setup. But, great work from Kunos, as always - keep up the good work :)

[@danielettrico]

TL;DW: watch your replay to improve your lines and braking points, use all the road you can, set the good pressure compromise to have the same pressure on all tyres without making them cold or hot. in a later stage try to disable TC to gain more speed. with these tips he gains 3 seconds on a short track. nice video btw

[@gamingpoptart]

Thank you so much, such a little adjustment in my driving made an immense difference

[@CoproManiac]

Great tutorial! Had to lol a couple of time, especially at 33:10 "Bump - break -stupid". xD Anyways, you're great in explaining this kinda stuff, would love to have some in-depth explanation about setting up a car. Like a step by step explanation of where to start, what to adjust after that and so forth. I did find some help at racedepartment, but I don't really understand what it is exactly I'm changing and how to end up with a drivable and faster car. Anyways, thanks for the tutorial. It was clear, easy to understand and very useful!

[@FlavioLeonardVargas]

What a Class! thank You very much! Just bought a G29 and slowly improving, but get a little better day by day. I´m very good with keyboard, and played AC for a year just with keyboard. I use to play racing games since PC AT 286 with green screen! I´m having such a great time with AC and my G29! Greetings from Brazil!

[@lxvideostuff7200]

a great start to something, that never come to be(the series)

[@TonyCalvert]

Great video, I still struggle to put into practice the principles you give but I am improving all the time.

[@miva55]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much, just what I needed as a beginner in this great simulator. Keep up the good work!

[@PeterM0911]

Even it's supposed to be "basic" level driving, I'm sure many of experienced players looked over on this minor things. To be honest I never balanced the tyre pressure on individual wheels. I didn't know it means that much. I'm looking forward to the next video!

[@Uff182]

A tutto gas, Aris! Sono già in attesa del prossimo. :D

[@HypeRMK_XD]

Thank you so much I watched every minute of the video and it helped me a lot, especially the stuff about tire pressure. I never cared about tire pressure and left it at default until now!

[@hyper_channel]

Nice content sir, loving your videos!

[@georgerosebush9754]

I cannot for the life of me get anywhere close to his times, and yet here I am studying the brake and throttle inputs, and if I try to copy them, with how much throttle he puts in so early in a turn, I simply slide out. The best I get is 1:14.5. What he does very well and can't easily be explained is how he micro manages the throttle and steering to reel the car back from the limit.

[@SteveSmith-fh6br]

Use tire blankets and save time. ;)

[@amirms76]

PERFECT! Really enjoyed it. Very well explained

[@v_alexiadis]

Great video. I should really follow some of your advice. I'm around 2 sec off alien pace and I know I'm not always taking full advantage of the track width and some times my reference points are off. I can get much closer if I do it properly.

[@realtissaye]

Awesome video!!!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Great video, I really enjoyed it.

[@Leynad778]

Nice tutorial, but you make one major mistake with this car many people do: You shift far to late. Real drivers shifting at 6300 rpm and above 6500 rpm there´s nothing to gain. Look at the Km/h and how fast the car accelerates when upshifting respectively how low the acceleration was before. The car is faster when shifting even before the shiftlights flashes. And that´s another trick getting faster: look at the speed while shifting. The acceleration should be as smooth as possible and difficult to feel without G-forces.

[@GameTrackOfficial]

...and then what would I show in the next video? Be patient young padawan :D /Aristotelis

[@Leynad778]

Now everything makes sense:)

[@oliverwehling820]

I would love to see that. Maybe watching at the NM curves to find the sweet shifting spot? Please more of this, great great Video!!! :)

[@Leynad778]

By the way, Aris. I´m as old as you. Okay, since today, so maybe a few months younger:D

[@nanodrummer]

[@nerk1807]

I notice first few hours were hardest for me, after that just easier and easier, you have to start with low power car, and slightly go for gtrs, for example, that's why career mode exists, that's how you learn and progress. Also having racing wheel in this game is very important, i have tried controller but it was nearly unplayable for me

[@pierrefabre5207]

Some very good advice here, especially about using the whole width of the track People often underestimate how important that is ! On a side note, isn't downshift protection a little over-protective ? :)
