F1 TIPS: TURNING OFF THE RACING LINE

[@johnwhittaker311]

This is definitely the hardest assist to turn off

[@loganm2766]

John Whittaker but the most pleasing to master

[@cyanwise3024]

ABS is harder

[@joshthemigpro1733]

D3DSTR1K3R its really not

[@userr_742]

@@cyanwise3024 people want to gain time with that shit abs, line is way harder to turn off

[@DieselDan09]

Yes do all the tracks please!!

[@corne0114]

DieselDan09 yes!

[@KryssN1]

F1 2016 also applies, he did it in TT from F1 2016 and just little adjustment. I also learned how to drive F1 games no assist from TRL Limitless videos, at this point I'm just playing Career Mode on Legend.

[@RB-xh1ct]

Don't even ask man. We want all you have to offer, just keep posting

[@Enzenso]

High quality series for beginners. Keep up great work, man!

[@adamkurek7214]

This is kind of like the videos in Gran Turismo Sport where they show you all the braking points and how to go through the corner, love it

[@anvilmarauder318]

Talking yourself through a lap in your head might like you were doing here might not be the worst idea. It keeps you focused, and helps you remember what your marks are so you hit them consistently.

[@daveirons7959]

Very helpful! Im in the process of trying no assists, always used assists in previous f1 games but enough is enough. Started with the manual gearbox now trying to take off racing line. This vid helps for spain though 👍

[@ClassicNlbear]

Please make this into a series for all the circuits! You would be the MVP!

[@OulunKarppa]

Just yesterday I first time practised Spain without assist. I've used TC medium setting so far. Loved the racing coz had to concentrate lot more and ofc I spun a lot but got almost under 1.20. Great vid and gonna try your racing line to improve.

[@andiaichi]

Nooo you spelled ur Name nice and slow that almost killed me

[@JDisLimitless]

Noticed xD

[@connor8966]

Plz do it for all tracks 🙏🏻would be much appreciated

[@corne0114]

Connor Damin yes!

[@blaindweed]

I have a manual gearbox question. Although I assume there is a video coming. I recently started transitioning to manual and found that I have MUCH more consistent lap times, probably due to increased focus. However I found that I can only drive in cockpit cam. That is the only way to have revs and gear number somewhat in the middle of the screen. And always within vision. How do you keep track of your gear (count in head?) and revs (go by sound?) when driving with the T-cam?

[@Zerd]

Shagy personally I count in my head for going down gears, gets to the point where you don't even need to count, and just use your ears for the revs, you'll hear and feel when you should shift up

[@Random_Vince]

2:23 Yes a Tips and Tricks video for every track would be Amazing!!!

[@victorfigueiredo2683]

Jd Great work, love the tips, hope it help a lot of people, and please bring more career mode videos, if possible do the whole season

[@samuelmuinoslejonbergh2358]

I turned it off a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. It feels like a new game!!

[@chrisc3825]

This was the one I really wanted; thanks so much (so really, just do it and learn it). I'm in F7 with no assists (but use the RL in corners) and am slow as molasses....thumbs up for every track, tricks and tips. Also would be curious of another wheel vs pad comparison once you settle into the wheel.

[@wookieschnitzel7595]

The value of this video cannot be overstated

[@combatarms501]

Wow that consistency is sick

[@grndmstrbv4572]

Learning to go without racing line is just hammer. In career mode with racing line, I drive the AI at 107. In online championship with a friend its 82. Often I am one second slower in quali than the AI, but some tracks I got really suited to going without racing line, beating the AI by one second. Much to be gained though. thanks for the vid

[@80alexdias]

Keep doing it please for all tracks. A track guide with breaking points would be awesome.

[@TocRum]

Braking line is a stepping stone. After so many laps, your braking will become muscle memory then doesnt matter if you have it off or on. You said once in one of your videos ages ago IIRC you played f1 2012(?) for a year with braking line turned on. Cant help but feel youre causing some people to run before they can walk

[@JDisLimitless]

FlushStroke That's true, but I made no real progress and didn't start to really get close to my potential until I turned it off for good. From that point I progressed so much faster. Sometimes you have to try and run, otherwise you'll give up 🙌🏻

[@TocRum]

never the less you are trying to help people be faster. Faster then id ever be even when you used 3rd person camera wtf, I do hope you get some luck and win an aor at some point, you definitely would deserve it!

[@JDisLimitless]

Thanks a lot mate appreciate that

[@DanA-xg9mt]

I use a wheel and no traction control but have abs on and racing line on corners, I’m currently trying to turn the racing line off and these videos will help a tone.

[@attilaszivos8265]

Do it for all if you can, but I think the HOW TO LEARN ABS OFF is what ppl wait for.

[@Mcquiz95]

Adjust brake bias and brake pressure to suit your liking and use engine braking smartly instead of always slamming on the brakes. That's it really.

[@ftbg.]

Could you make a comparison between driving exactly on the racing line and driving on your own line? So that we see how it differs and get an impression of the time differences?

[@carbonfighterfan96]

Can't wait for new hotlap/setup videos :D I need them... ;)

[@PayneFaust]

Definitely do all tracks. No one does it and TT is no help watching. I need plenty of laps to really see what the car does. I do it for iRacing and I can race with a lot of top guys on there. Would love to see this with each track!

[@simma101]

Would love to see videos like this for more tracks.

[@slimegirl6522]

This helped me a lot now I'm driving without the racingline

[@liamjudd5524]

Really helpful. Keep up these sort of videos please ☺☺

[@scottrussell9376]

yea with the racing line on I think it's a good way for drivers to learn braking point's and turn in and also the track aswell but it's so much better with it off makes you think a lot more when your racing

[@justinassartanavicius9294]

I think it's not hard to understand that u need to find your braking points, but can you talk about how to you tap throttle /brake like in USA first? Sector and overall how to know when and how much throttle to use?.

[@maxam7502]

can you please do this and the setups for every track?? Really do love it!!

[@rikspidy2747]

Thanks JD for these tips!

[@SlaveToTheGame]

explained well! but maybe a little too fast. can you maybe try to explain how creating own breaking points works? when do i need to go down from gas or use break in softer curves? most of the process is practicing, i guess. well, let's go for it. and yes, all tracks please :D

[@rugby86]

I still need the racing line in the corners for Russia. The glare reflecting onto the track makes it hard to pick out the braking points, and I find it hard sometimes to spot either the 100m board and black box. Personally it's my worst track.

[@coolnhlfan1]

the things I learned myself was that there's almost a line on the concrete, since cars drive the same line most of the time. Just follow that and you'll learn lap by lap

[@Stokkies07]

You said 'Limitless' right this time!

[@sirjoshie]

Please do it for all assists. THIS IS SUCH A HUGE HELP!!

[@sam_marley]

It's so hard to memorise every braking point for every track, you're talking 200+ braking points

[@aggie7756]

+Swagwan: I assume you drive a car, right? Do you memorize every single breaking point to work, school, or your favorite restaurant? I take it you don't; you just do it regardless of the speed. The same applies in this game, just on a much faster vehicle. The more you practice (without the racing line), the better you will get and your brain will eventually acclimate to each track. Good luck.

[@sam_marley]

CastleBravo good reply! More practice needed haha

[@BoleDaPole]

Plus tons of the corners are very similar in f1 these days. So realistically speaking there are 50 challenging corners to really master

[@alexsmith5031]

Limitless how can you moderate the throttle and brake on the pad i'm trying it but really struggling...currently using med traction & abs but want to turn them off but you make it look so easy especially as your on the pad

[@Rac3r4Life]

I'd love one of these for every tank

[@tebz9179]

I race without the racing line, and what helped me was i drove a few laps with the racing line, just to get used to the positioning of the car in corners then i removed it and tried to follow in from memory, now when ever i do time trial i drive without the line then after a good lap i switch on ghost and racing line and im 80% of the time on the "racing line" just something that might help. @TRL Limitless thanks for all you videos are you going to post you AOR russia race? have you done it yet. your footage helps a bunch as im also racing in a league

[@adiuzual]

do a no tc tips and to manage the oversteer or the slides

[@chrisi2348]

i never had problems with racing line i can kinda feel where i need to drive but i cant feel the brake point. it may be a bad comparisson but in real life when im carting you just feel how you need to brake but in a game with a controller there is no feedback if your doing good you will just see it but then its too late

[@jovannibaeza191]

i started playing no assists in pcars 2 (my first sm/simcade game) from the get go. after about 10 or so hours, im alright at driving, but i always kept the racing line. i guess ill cut racing line now, and when f1 2018 comes out, ill turn it off fro the get go. nothing like doing a bunch of laps by yourself crashing everywhere while you figure out what to do

[@timverbraak4073]

Yo JD, first off id like to repeat my comment on the last video: please do an F1 tips video on tyre and fuel saving. And secondly why do you have to do it in gran prix mode if it has to be clear air? Why not just use time trial mode

[@Sabba7h]

Timmeh Verbraak Lift going into braking zones, shift before you hit the purple band (or halfway through the red, some cars have the LEDs illuminate all at once, i.e Renault, Red Bull, might need to shift by sound), use the throttle sparingly, brake slightly sooner to prevent lockups. Combine all this with consistency and you'll be sipping fuel and stretching the tires further than you ever thought possible.

[@thealexanderlink]

The problem with me and turning off the racing line is that I cannot estimate the speed I have to carry through the corners. I don't know if it is due to me not using manual gears or if it is something else. I always feel like I have not the right speed through a corner; especially the first corner in china for example where it gets tighter and tighter. Does this come over time or are there some tips for getting a better feeling regarding this? Anyways, nice video and keep it up.

[@GodfatherBenz]

You're not changing gears yourself? That is a big problem to begin with...

[@thealexanderlink]

rock Well my final goal is to drive with no assists at all. But i don't know if I should do it step by step or turning off all at once.

[@GodfatherBenz]

Turn off automatic transmission right now, you should never ever play with automatic gears, it removes any control you can get of the car. Automatic gear shouldn't even be an option. Turn on the shifting BEEP in the options ( the car will BLEEP when it's the perfect time to upshift ). Understand how the weight of the car transfers when you accelerate or brake. Under braking, very important to keep downshifting to help you not lock up the wheels. This is very basic stuff and easy to get used to manually shifting. ABS OFF, TC OFF. Don't even procrastinate, turn these fuckers off ASAP. I suggest you keep the driving line, it definitely helped to learn the basics of taking corners & keeping a good pace. I highly recommend you also turn off anything visible on the screen such as lap time, position, delta, best time, etc. It will help you stay focus and not try to push the car too hard to beat your lap time. Choose 3-4 easy tracks you're most comfortable with, I suggest Gilles Villeneuve, Baku, Monza and maybe Spa to start with. Spend 30-45min on each track and start SLOW. Take the corners smoothly while trying to follow the line as much as possible. Go a bit faster lap after lap, keep following the line, modulate the throttle and brake. You will inevitably spin out and lock up the wheels at first. You just have to understand why it happens and how to prevent it. The key is to stay SMOOTH !! Smooth braking when entering a corner, smooth acceleration when exiting a corner. It does not matter what your lap time is, all that matters is that you keep TRACTION at all time and stay on the track at all times. That's how you get better and consistent. I could go on and on but at the end of the day you simply have to trust yourself and put the effort to get used to the car and the best way is with no assists if you're any serious. You're wasting time playing with assists.

[@thealexanderlink]

rock Really thank you for your advice. I really appreciate this. I guess I really should stop procrastinating and start NOW with driving with no assists. At least I already can drive without TCS and ABS (those are the only assists i have turned off atm) so I don't have to focus on too much. I just drove like 30 mins at Bahrain and after some time you don't even notice that you're shifting manually anymore. It's all a thing of getting used to it and taking the time for it I guess. But thanks again for your advice.

[@GeorgeFlorian12]

What if I play with a PS4 Controller ? I can’t do half of the things you do with the steering wheel.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

Using breaking points is nothing to do with the wheel. And why can't you? I play with a controller as well and I'm doing fine using breaking points and playing without assists. The only assist I use is auto transmission, because it's simply impossible for me to use manual

[@agallagher5936]

It's still very possible to be quick with no assists using a controller. F1 2017 n F1 2018 r way easier to get used to if compared to the earlier games

[@powalansplay5330]

I honestly don't care about elite gamers and their taboo on assists. The way I see it is that racing line is good for the player to catch a glimpse of how you tackles corner. Once you get get pass the basic, you should turn it off so you develop your own racing line. Without racing line, I went from being complete clueless at Spain to setting an okay time in just 3 hours. Turning off RL really helps at getting better.

[@rastkopetrovic7896]

I found out with F1 2017( not traction controll), that if you accelerate out of corners over the curbs, it tends to spin you out. I am very careful how I accelerate. Watching your video I am still can't pick up how you do it. And yes please do all tracks, starting with Australia.

[@carlostackett8939]

What's going on with aor? When is the next race. Great content, great job teaching us newbies

[@CraigConlee]

Very nice and thank you! yes, continue with this!

[@American_God]

I want to turn traction control off but my wheel and pedals are so bad and so old that i cant get the pedal a certain way without it falling down to full throttle a bit to easily i have my linearity of the steering and pedals all the way to 96 to try and make the wheel turn like the one in the game

[@tonyvanengelen7631]

hi there you shift gear down and than breaking or first breakeng and the shift gear down

[@waspe3806]

Could you do a tutorial about shifting please ?

[@airstrike9002]

could you also give tips about manual gears, it's something i really struggle with.

[@dml0020]

Its easier with a steering wheel, just put it on "manuel with sugested gear". But it is really hard with a controller, unles you have the back buttons on ps4.

[@bobharper5325]

definally do a track guide with setup, lines, gears etc for every track online please.

[@Jason-xb2hi]

Each track would be great.

[@skum4142]

What do you think the lowest percentage on brake pressure you can get away with? I have trouble with lock ups more than anything and currently use 70% on the wheel.

[@GodfatherBenz]

put it at 50% or so and modulate the damn brakes! Notice how when you're coming in a corner HOT, you can mash the brakes hard WHILE downshifting at the same time so you use engine braking to its maximum! As soon as you're about to lock up, modulate the brake pedal! Just watch Limitless "pedals" when he comes in to a corner, he goes FULL brakes, downshift 2-3 times, modulate brake pedal.

[@MattTeague1111]

What buttons do you use on the pad for your gear changes?

[@qvrverstappen2192]

[@teemoguides9033]

I have never played racing games but want to get a good setup for stuff like this. chair+wheel+pedals etc. anyone have any advice on what to get? also im guessing i should buy an xbox one to use it on too right.

[@itsyaboi7286]

Teemo Guides there are so many options in stearing wheel, pedal and seet. So it depends how much money you have. You can also buy a ps4 or PC, you only have to watch if the stuff you buy are capeble on that console, also for xbox

[@teemoguides9033]

whats the most cost effective for money spent? I havent decided on a budget. pref under 1k though for xbox and setup. just something simple that works for someone new to racing games

[@OWProductionsBV]

You recommended Grand Prix mode, but why not TT? Seems easier to me

[@JDisLimitless]

In TT the car feels very different to online and Grand Prix mode, so not a true reflection when you're racing in career or against other drivers in multiplayer.

[@maxbenard2246]

So one has to remember the braking point for every single turn on the calendar...seems mental

[@elleee2638]

Please do all the tracks please🙏🙏

[@carlomariagranata01]

Set up videos?

[@Blu9ty]

Whats your driving style? (I like a car thats geared to oversteer...i want to know before i start trying your setups)

[@Mcquiz95]

I use his time trial setups and to me they feel lightly oversteery.

[@Blu9ty]

[@renebladed]

hi I just started playing f1 a couple of weeks ago and I want to go no assist but I m playing on PC with a keyboard. is there a big difference between a controler and the keyboard ? I don t want to buy a wheel but I am considering buying a controller and use it on my PC if that s even possible

[@JDisLimitless]

Definitely use a controller over a keyboard my friend!

[@johnwhittaker311]

Broken Fasaki using a pad is definatly better than the keyboard just get an hdmi cable and plug it in

[@prashanth8969]

I find that in the race start, most of the opponent AI cars start very slowly, I use manual starts and I can overtake the AI cars at the front easily every time. Even if I start from 6 th position, I can easily overtake all and occupy 1st position during race start. Why it's very easy, and that makes the difference between different grid positions after the qualifying worthless

[@liverpoolbuttonf1fan]

I tried to race without the racing line last year and it went absolute awful. 1st I started to do sprint races online, but because I'm so used to the racing line and didn't know where to brake or turn in. As a result of that I broke too early or late for every corner and turned in too late/early. After a few days doing this I decided just do to TT laps at a certain track. Those went a bit better(still pretty bad) but it was pretty boring cause I was inconsistent and slow. So I stopped doing that and went back to using the racing line. I only use ABS and racing line btw. So any tips for that?

[@liverpoolbuttonf1fan]

JASON F1 I also tried that but that went horrible😂😂. I was like 6 seconds slower than normally. F1 is the only racing game I play. I just don't know where to brake. I brake at 100M which is too early. Then 70M which is too late. Then 65 cause I notice it too late. This for every corner can be very frustrating expecially when you're kinda a casual player who still is in the top 200 TT on and is only 0.5-1 sec slower than AOR split 1 on most tracks with assists

[@k3y53r5053]

liverpoolbuttonf1fan It's really all about learning the tracks. Look for landmarks for break points (often the 100m board, when curb starts etc) you'll need to essentially look for them on the corner of your eyes. Turning off the racing line is the best thing I've done.

[@luchipunchi98]

Dude, about three years ago I was using racing line in every racing game. After a year I started disabling it in games like Forza Motorsport 4 and Grid, got used to it quite quickly though, however I thought there's no way I could make it without racing line in F1 games since consistency is key but really hard to achieve. All of a sudden, I decided to switch it off, and it is SO much more fun now!! Sure it takes time and practise in every single track, but that's what makes it more enjoyable!! I find myself doing lap after lap after lap on my own and it's still very enjoyable to simply... drive. There's no way I come back to using racing line. To sum up, you should start with a game that has slower cars like Forza, GT, Project Cars or even Assetto Corsa. Just practise consistency and braking points. Trust me, racing will start making so much more sense to you if you disable the racing line.

[@marcofragomeni9914]

the point is how much time one can spend in practicing, meaning time of one's life after work, family and other obligations. i live alone and working +-10 hours with commuting, when home there's cleaning,washing machines, cooking. Hardly i could dedicate more than 5 hours/week for gaming, meaning i can do 2 race weekends with full practice and 25% race. I'm the perfect example of casual player type and i enjoy more going forward in the game than struggle in TT to learn breaking points. Doing that I'd never be able to complete a 3 years season career from sauber and move to more competitive team and fight for wins.

[@xprodylan]

please do moreeee

[@Georgexx13]

Two months late for me hahaha. Still great advice JD, keep it up!

[@almightyalan8942]

Never late is better but better late than never

[@smasher2265]

I play no assist but cant turn off the racing line i miss almost all braking points

[@MikyGBro]

same here its so hard learn without racing line but im not ever gonna turn it on just gonna practice 30 laps on every track and someday i match my PB..

[@smasher2265]

Im doing TT laps to try match my pace without the racing line... for now just managed to get really close at australia, bahrain and austria... i think i could match my pace in monza...but I find too difficult to get the breaking points in street circuits like baku or monaco

[@MikyGBro]

i tried monaco and its pretty clean in day (shadow) are op here but in wet race like i did for achievment really hard.. just break 50 m earlier :P

[@SidVish]

Im a newb . I can only get a 1.23.8 with Force India on this track. Loving the game though and will keep at it. Any chance of 'wet' vids ? I really struggle not to lock up the fronts in the wet. Anybody got any tips? More vids like this please.

[@AlexTheG71]

Sid Vish You have to be reeeeeally smooth under brakes. Otherwise you will certainly be locking up. I would go for half the brake power and braking a little bit before the actual rain brake point

[@harmenino]

I'm completely new to F1 racing, and I want to improve in the best order there is. What do you recommend to switch off first? Like racing line, traction control, manual gears.

[@juulthijssen5780]

Manual gears

[@GodfatherBenz]

Why do you even put assists on? Turn them all off and learn how to drive from there, it will be much easier! Just simply have to play SMOOTH. Smooth braking, smooth accelerating and you won't have problems. With assists you don't have to have any skills or control over the car, that's not helpful at all.

[@2manygamestoplay]

Exactly what rock said. I never played any racing games ever before..just got a wheel and f1. Started with everything off and that's how I'm learning it. After 10 hours I'm doing alright on a few tracks already.

[@luchipunchi98]

which wheel?? what platform?? Florian H.
