Turn 10 of Bahrain GP still gives me nightmares in terms of breaking.

[@THOMB]

Haha, one of the hardest corners to master in the game! Top tip is to try and have a direct approach when you’re breaking, try to keep your steering input minimal. Margins are small though! 😝

[@zorbat5]

That was not as hard for me. Turn 15 in baku is a nightmare, breakingzone on a downward bank, it sucks.. hahaha

[@JaoAkaishi69]

for me its turn 6

[@BayouRenegade]

You insured my like with the audio example lol, also applying all this to 2021 so hopefully I’ll see in the winter :)

This guide is dope, Im coming from the world of Forza and driving F1 at the limit is so much more difficult and engaging. This guide helps a lot 👍

[@THOMB]

Thanks bud, great to hear! 😁

[@Max_Charb]

I just switched to left foot breaking. I gotta resist the rush to reactivate abs at every corner hahaha. Your video was a nice reminder to teach my left foot what my right took for granted. Thank you

[@JayM1989]

Proper traction control is a pain with a controller. I mostly play gtsport and dirt rally which its passable. F1 is just so much power. When I get wheel and pedal set up in a few weeks I'll try again though. Looking forward to be able to play this too

[@Time4utube]

Gt sport in vr so good.try it

[@rasmusreintam2624]

TC is easy but ABS is the hardest thing ever

The easiest would be to practice in time trial, but the most representative conditions would be grand prix mode or online

Hey Thom Big hello from Croatia. Yesterday i had my first simracing F12020 race in local division and it was disaster...bwoaah... Anyway, this tips I will listen and listen every time I''ll play F12020. I was go kart racing driver for 13 years (last race in 2014.) And now I decide to do THIS... Thanks for this video and wish you all the best.

Well practice is the only way but I am starting to understand that on a turn you can turn while braking if you touch the brakes so I will try that

[@wesleysantana5400]

track guide & brake markers, please

[@vanlaatummusic]

Thx mate! Great tips. Really have to practise a lot more with the breaking and traction. I loose the care still way too much with accelerating from corners. Especially when experience pressure from a driver behind..

[@THOMB]

Practice makes perfect! Especially for dealing with pressure from cars behind. More videos on specific aspects of racing coming soon, thanks for watching! :)

[@altx111]

Awesome advices mate! Is it possible to go without traction control on a keyboard? I durned down to the medium though, which is fine, but going without it completely feels like I am going to need a wheel with pedals.

[@THOMB]

Thank you! I am actually quite surprised you were able to put traction down to medium on a keyboard, haha! A controller or especially wheel would make it a lot easier for sure, as you don’t have to be at either 0% or 100% input but can go in between as well :) good luck!

[@altx111]

@@THOMB Thank you! All the other assists are off too. Probably this is why I am still getting some minor break locks too.

[@THOMB]

Woah that is quite an achievement haha, yes definitely. You’ll be pleasantly surprised when switching to either controller or wheel. I’d recommend a wheel of course but it’s down to budget as well in that regard :P

[@krishprinkibas5276]

Do you have any tips to reduce oversteer because I apply minimum amount of pressure on the accelerator and I always spin which is weird ?

[@THOMB]

You could change your car setup to give you more understeer instead of oversteer. I am honestly not that great at building setups myself, but the default setup is a good starting point to counteract oversteer and get a little more understeer :) good luck!

[@alpozkaya5948]

[@DanMufc-jt9le]

Hi thomb great tips video i noticed in your guides here you have an empty lobby instead of ai and would like to know how do you set that for practice session so ai dont appear in the lobby and its just you by yourself ?

[@THOMB]

I believe you can only do practice by uourself in a multiplayer lobby and you’ll get kicked out once you get to qualy/race

[@DanMufc-jt9le]

@@THOMB Ahh ok thanks for clearing that up so i know for 2021 comes out because trying to practice in GP mode against the ai what ever level is just impossible to do there so slow and hold you up nearly every lap

[@kylian8295]

I need help , I am just faster with medium traction control no matter what . I practice every day . What is the secret ?I do as you say with the accelerator but I'm faster on medium

[@THOMB]

Unfortunately Codemasters has made the medium traction relatively overpowered compared to no traction control. No traction control will be faster in the end, but the margins are very small and it will take a lot of focus and practice to become faster with no traction. One of the tips I could give you is try and make the transition from no power to full power as smooth as you can, so keep your foot on the accelerator in corners (very minor input!). Hope this helps.

[@kylian8295]

@@THOMB That is what I thought . Can you tell me what are the best ways to practice?Time trial? Long races?

[@THOMB]

LSG_Kylian it is player specific ofcourse but I reckon time trial is the easiest to practice trial and error. Atleast that’s how I would do it. Longer races are better to improve consistency

[@kylian8295]

@@THOMB dude now I'm so fast, I didn't give up and I was right, I'm starting to gain 4 tenths of my time in medium traction !

[@Craig23McDonald]

I’m just venturing into starting to switch off assists gradually. What would be the best way to go about it. Start with no ABS or move down to medium traction first? Thanks

[@THOMB]

The best thing to do is to put all assists off at once, but I can understand this might be a little scary, I would focus on disabling ABS as the last assist and going traction first, so you can get a feel of the pedals and throttle input :) I got a video about ABS and braking as well if you’re interested 💪

[@Craig23McDonald]

@@THOMB thanks for the reply. I’ll check it out and give it a go

[@edgarfisher7224]

Are the curbs smoother on pc? Cause they're horribly rough on console.

[@THOMB]

The only difference between console and PC is minor differences in the handling (PC more grip through corners, consoles better traction or whatever it is nowadays haha). Kerbs should be the same on both! 😁 thanks for watching edgar!

[@Salppis12]

How to start practicing driving without traction control? Time trial, career or maybe in lobby (practice)? What do you recommend?

[@THOMB]

I’d say Time Trial is the perfect place to do so as you can get away with trial and error as you can just restart the lap whenever you want 😊

[@Salppis12]

@@THOMB Thanks for replying. I thought so also. At the moment can't get same lap times as with traction control. But at least I stay on the track. I guess patience is the key and I keep practicing.

[@firmaleggibile4130]

@@Salppis12 i'd say start a race weekend event 100% and go through practice sessions. You can experience also tires wear and track improvement and adjust your driving. Also, from time to time you will have traffic and it will be a good exercise engaging quick battles with TC off

[@Time4utube]

Downshift I can't get right up shift yes not sure gears be in

[@TheSnappyWolf]

Can i apply this to controller?

[@THOMB]

For sure!

[@fenstermeister6315]

Please please please learn no racing line before manual braking, it'll make learning no racing line so much easier. I've just about got the hang of it. I'm now running no assists and it just makes the game much more immersive

[@ginikari578]

Nice Video. Maybe I'll try later to learn. But rn i am to comfy with Assist's

[@MattRadical]

Thomb Hype!!!!!! 💥💥💥

[@nibornaan6634]

I actually had a hard time breaking cos my tyres always seemed to lock up. What helped me was downshifting gears earlier. Ikd what happens if you do that in career, maybe you may break your engine faster, but that is just a guess. But since I started using manual gear I almost never lock up.

[@sunnymaiquan]

Do you recommend learning to drive without racing lines first? Or braking without ABS? What order would you do in terms of gradually losing the assists

[@THOMB]

I would recommend (if you want to put them off gradually, all off at the same time is the best way to learn) putting off the racing line last so you can focus on the other assist like braking, shifting etc. 👍

[@victorsparholt]

Well this just isn't fair, here I am expecting to learn how to drive no assists and then i have to wait 16 hours, Lmao
