F1 TIPS: Turning off the racing line

[@tg7legends343]

This is the only assist I have massive problems without

[@gillylaw2139]

TG7 Legends same with me !! Its hard getting the braking points properly im just gonna turn it off and practice

[@PWCDN]

It's tough because it comes down to knowing each track + lots of practice. Definitely not casual friendly to have it off, but if you play racing games all the time, it is worth investing time to memorizing breaking points for every track. Right now I am not sure if I have the patience to learn it, since I play games maybe an hour a day tops (vs 4+ hours when I was younger).

[@thelogicalracer1036]

same

[@gamergage9623]

If you use a lot of assists don't start with turning off the racing line do it last after mastering everything else

[@ZZ9ProductionsOFFICIAL]

As a more casual player I keep the line on corners only and use that as my reference, along with knowing how much braking force the car has to judge the braking and turn in points to maximise speed through the corner, I usually stick to the suggested line but on the likes of Russia T2-3 chicane I perhaps turn in a little earlier just to minimise the amount of steering input required

[@stumpycaretaker]

Keep these coming TRL. Just what I was looking for. Thank You

[@flimsycomet6717]

Great idea for a series! Some episodes I'd like to see are conserving fuel and tyres without sacrificing speed, and also how to tune setups :)

[@JDisLimitless]

Thanks! And it's in the pipeline :)

[@briggza14]

Sweet

[@johnquick8316]

Your instructional videos are the best. Keep em coming.

[@EIRW1Z]

Good information here, nice 1! For me, having also started on F1 2011 using a pad, I spent a lot of time in TT grinding laps, but also did short races of 10/15% or 15 laps (whatever it was back then), didn't bother with qualifying at all so starting at the back, with racing line on and just tried to finish as high up the field as possible. This helped me develop a kind of muscle memory for each track, braking points, my preferred lines, which also helped me develop my own style, so that when I got onto F1 2012 I could turn off racing line and know all the tracks like the back of my hand. There is no substitute for grinding those laps though, as once you know a track you wont forget it! Looking forward to F1 2016!

[@JDisLimitless]

Thanks man and exactly! Once you learn it in one game, it's a lot easier when you starting playing the new games, almost like riding a bike :)

[@kanavkapoor3055]

A video on how to drive without ABS would be useful :)

[@JDisLimitless]

In the works :)

[@RacingAtHome]

Thanks to this, I learnt how to not use the Racing Line. I knew the line itself it was just braking points. Now i'm about the same speed if not faster.

[@slimegreenbeats]

This video is timeless

[@kazuhirala]

The moment I knew the racing line did not help, is when i was in a room with really skilled drivers, and I ended up in P1, followed the green line to the teeth, once i got the first and second turn, i was taking over like a guy stealing my girl 5x

[@JamieTPRandall]

I use a wheel and always locked up and coolant control traction at all, yesterday I turned off racing line and everything felt natural no lock ups no sliding out corners doing donuts and things. :D

[@davidb9036]

I think using lots and lots of flashbacks just to nail a tricky corner is easier than trying to remember what you did wrong a lap ago. Anyways, hyped about the new series ofc, thanks JD, the content keeps getting better and better, just wish we had the 2016 HUD already :)

[@JDisLimitless]

That's a good technique, but personally I think you'll benefit much more in the long run just doing lap after lap without doing that, will stick with you a lot better!

[@JDisLimitless]

And thanks man appreciate that :)

[@zregnier]

If you haven't turned the line off, do it! After I did I've been beating all my previous (Merc/Ferrari) best lap times driving the Red Bull. Plus it really is more fun. Helmet cam too!

[@ObitoUchihaisgay]

I dont understand why people are faster with racing line off. I see that they are but for me the breaking line is always on point. I can perfectly brake every time and if i overshoot it by a few meters I already dont get the corner so how can you be faster without it? Also it accounts for your tyre wear and fuel load which helps me too. Its the only assist I really need EDIT: Im talking about f1 2016 and again to me it looks like its the latest brake spot u can use

[@ice1032]

Obito Uchiha cuz you feel the corners aha

[@Blu9ty]

Obito Uchiha you find lines better for your driving style

[@johnnywaffles2482]

BEEF05 or sometimes theres a car in your line

[@thehaydo9405]

great video. can you do one on manual shifting particularly downshifting.

[@JDisLimitless]

In the pipeline :)

[@thetalkingelement2415]

I use a pad, so traction control and anti lock brakes is very difficult to master.

[@JoshoKiss]

Very good video Limitless. I am a big fan of you and I'm even running the Caterham in my championship, just like you did. Any tip regarding traction? Looking forward for that video also haha. Greetings from Mexico.

[@JDisLimitless]

Thanks bro appreciate it! Traction will be the next topic in this series, so hopefully next week sometime :)

[@marklopez936]

Great Videos. Well spoken and informative. Do you do a wheel setup video?

[@gative5185]

Just started pro season p20 with hamilton xD have no experience with no racing line really hard

[@mbarko606]

Thankyou so much, been wanting to learn this & manual gears

[@mbarko606]

Also could you do a video on how to set up correctly + how to know what fuel mix to be in

[@biggzy9677]

fuel mix? that depends on what session you are in, in quali stick it in lean until the penultimate corner then rich for the whole lap and any other fast laps you are on, and then again lean on the in lap. In the race it depends how much fuel and what you tyre state is, if you are low on fuel you need to be switching between standard and lean, switch it to lean for low speed corners and traction areas and stick it in standard for short and long straights, if you have spare fuel and your tyres are ok, then run in rich apart from traction ares where is would be best to run in standard so you can maximize the exit grip, hope this helps pal.

[@mbarko606]

PrO BiGGzY96 When I watch most good players they switch between fuel mixes at each corner and end up with the perfect fuel balance at the end of the race, that's all I mean

[@biggzy9677]

yeah its all just keeping an eye on the fuell, i mean, putting it into lean at every slow corner isnt a bad idea and it will give you some extra fuel towards the end of the race so you can push, its what i do :)

[@mbarko606]

PrO BiGGzY96 Thanks for the tip :)

[@jammie3602]

How is it any quivker?? Good vid tho cant wait for no tc i need to get faster

[@krampus_]

I drive with the racing line on the F1 games because I don't want to put the time into learning the braking zones whilst playing casually with a pad and a podcast on. But I don't use the racing line on the more realistic sims with a wheel instead of a pad. Maybe I would turn it off if I played the game with a wheel more often but I normally invest more time into sims.

[@johnquick8316]

That's what I used to think but if you turn the racing line off you will start paying more attention to the braking markers and other trackside cues (shadows) to tell you when to brake or turn. Of all the assists I think the racing line is the easiest to get used to not having simply because there is something there to replace it.

[@krampus_]

John Quick True but when I have a podcast with 70% of the total audio from my speakers on, I have very little concentration in-game.

[@wesleysnipez5193]

Braking tips next?

[@JDisLimitless]

Coming soon :)

[@briggza14]

Do you still use a pad? I use pad and think gear changing on a pad would be to hard? What buttons do use for up shifting and downshifting?

[@JDisLimitless]

Yup I do! I use A to upshift and X for downshifting

[@Thomas171198]

If you are doing a corner specific video, I would love turn 1 at China, I always get that one wrong.

[@bryanwong4822]

Can you do a tip video of the throttle and braking techniques?because I have a problem with it .

[@JDisLimitless]

Yes :)

[@EvO24]

This really helped me can you do one with how to go with no traction control

[@Nav017x]

Yo Jd When F1 2016 comes out what track ate you first going to play?

[@JDisLimitless]

Baku :)

[@TitanOfRacingF1]

+TRL Limitless The comment is much better than the race itself

[@TitanOfRacingF1]

+TRL Limitless The comment is much better than the race itself

[@DanielDimov358]

Is it easy to follow the racing line?

[@PSJamie2k]

Hey, do you use Kontrol Freeks on your controller?

[@JDisLimitless]

Nope! Just use a standard controller with nothing added

[@Gobbi26]

I am wondering if there is a change can be done to driver assist as my car moves on it's own when to a turn to start turning and no control. Can this be turned off?

[@ice1032]

James Watt just turn off all the assists. You'll get a lot better quicker

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Played quite a bit of Project Cars (GT) before without racing line, but when I started playing F1 2017, I can't seem to get the lines perfect. And the problem is when I make mistakes, those mistakes are costly. Kinda frustrating. So, my plan is to play the first season of career mode with racing line on just to get the feel of each track, and turn it off in season 2.

[@geehammer1511]

Try not to learn where to brake by using the guide line Two weeks ago I started playing F1 2014 & turned off the racing line ASAP, the tracks I don't know yet are fun to learn & I'm using the AI cars as a guide

[@ffsmarc]

Really good Video, now i can try this little tip for my league races ^^ Can you maybe do a Tip video " How to brake in the wet?", because i have so many problems with that ^^

[@JDisLimitless]

Thanks man :)

[@taipizzalord4463]

Can you also do these videos on older F1 games like 2013. And how to be fast in wet. And also do how to be fast on heavy fuel. I use a wheel and all assists are off apart from corner line and manual and suggested gears.

[@taipizzalord4463]

Actually just realised that you are making a video on turning off racing line now lol

[@cjnicholls1461]

+TRL Limitless Can u do a video how to save tyres and how to drive without traction control?

[@anvilmarauder318]

I have found where I have problems is whn it starts raining, or the start with a higher fuel load. How do you recommend finding new braking points when they change quickly like if it starts raining?

[@JDisLimitless]

Usually in the rain its about 20 metres of so less, so I just take that into account and after a few laps I get a feel for it :)

[@WPDClips]

Do u use a wheel?

[@FoxtrotGolfLima]

Aarav disliked this video 5 times x)

[@matthewsmith2346]

Traction control would be good to do soon if you can! The only assist I have on now

[@JDisLimitless]

Next tip video will be on that :)

[@matthewsmith2346]

+TRL Limitless thanks :)

[@MrBenjiiii]

+TRL Limitless will you be quicker when you have tsc off with a controller?

[@roythompson2155]

Do u use a pad or a wheel

[@johnnywaffles2482]

I know what an ideal racing line is but I have such a hard time judging speed and distances.

[@SidVish]

Its gear selection Im having trouble with; Shifting down in corners without locking up. Total newb but loving it. Im an old fuck and gaming vet but never played an F1 game before lol.

[@walliep4]

i would love a movie about how to approach "slow in fast out" in slow corners.. (gear 3 or lower).. whatever i try i always seem to be on speed much later then others after slow corners

[@JDisLimitless]

Nice idea, will look to have it on a future video :)

[@walliep4]

+TRL Limitless wow thanks for reacting, looking forward to it

[@EclipsedFox]

track extending... now that was real racing

[@Aqib213]

Yeah I'm just a casual player at F1. So I do use the racing line, but only in the corners. That and automatic gears are the only assists I use. I tried taking off the racing line once, but I didn't think it was worth it considering I don't do league racing or play the game enough to do it. I only play F1 2013 career mode.

[@JDisLimitless]

It's a lot more fun and faster using manual, trust me :)

[@Aqib213]

+TRL Limitless Yeah. I'm actually waiting on a video for you to do it so I can learn from you tbh.

[@matiasdeftones]

Jd please do traction contron cause i'm having troubles turn in it off.

[@JDisLimitless]

Next video :)

[@robmunro1065]

How do u do online racing? im just doing career mode, ty for video, sub n liked, oh i am already subbed

[@HatsTour]

I notice you go really long on the rev limiter. Traditionally when you're in the limiter, you aren't getting max power so you should be losing time. I tend you go up a gear the second I hit the limiter but I'm not so arrogant as to suggest I'm quicker than you. So, does being in the limiter not slow you down? I understand the reason to do it on corners, to stop yourself going wide, but why on the straights?

[@JDisLimitless]

Yeah that's something I've always really done, not out of choice, mainly just habit! Throughout the last year I have started to shift earlier, but hasn't really changed anything regards of speed for me and when playing the game you can actually see it doesn't affect your speed, so I just do it. In real life that would definitely impact the speed, but playing F1 games for the past few years it doesn't really make a difference for me, although I have changed my style a bit! This video I was talking + playing, so wasn't really focusing on the raw speed :)

[@silent_fluo6917]

I wanna race you! You play on xbox right? I honestly can't find any proper players in a regular lobby or they are clean but really slow... Hit me up if u wanna race please, good vid btw. Gt: KRW 3RR0R

[@JDisLimitless]

Thanks man! F1 2016 is when I'll next be racing in online lobbies properly )

[@silent_fluo6917]

+TRL Limitless okay :)

[@biggzy9677]

ooooh is that a hint at a possible AOR return mate? xD

[@t_mac41603]

It's been 3 years and you sound no different omg

[@rickrude7916]

Using assists slows your progress. The first F1 game I played was F1 2012 and I started with no assists. Two months later I was posting times half a second behind the top league racers. Once you understand the basics of racing, learning the game the hard way pays dividends in the long run.

[@JDisLimitless]

Definitely!

[@1998lions]

what does trl and aor mean?

[@1998lions]

+Filip H thank you for the fast answer👌🏼

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Bro you have traction control on and other assists besides the lines

[@qvrverstappen2192]

Michael Ward no

[@Blu9ty]

He doesnt...

[@SkateGeneva]

yoooooo jd here teerlmitls

[@cfreeze3691]

Can u release these video more frequently? I'm trying to learn how to get faster with no assists. The earlier the better. Thanks

[@JDisLimitless]

I plan to :)

[@briggza14]

Same

[@xboxgamer9680]

Can someone tell me what kind of driver i am if my assists are: ABS: On Traction Control: Full Racing line: Corners only Auto gearbox Pit assist: Off

[@downtownalley9465]

beginer... first try with manual gearbox and then swich ABS and traction control off. Last you turn off racing line. it worked for me :D

[@xboxgamer9680]

I need the line for Monaco but i'm confident on the full time tracks. Traction control i just cook up the engine and wheels and ABS, how do i brake and not lock up

[@downtownalley9465]

when braking start with 100% and at half point or 3/4 start releasing it slowly. and for traction control practice is my only advice

[@albertohacepan]

intro song??

[@JDisLimitless]

Gemini - Blue

[@albertohacepan]

thanks man, and btw you're amazing

[@JDisLimitless]

albertohacepan Thanks bro

[@finleyahmad-hambling5980]

I have it on but I don't follow it

[@Mali-qw7hx]

but you should go faster with traction i mean its helping you not to slide when without traction you have to manage to not slide so you are obviously going slower

[@vladimirjeger]

Not necessarily, TC can stop you from accelerating out of the corner faster, cause it limits the engine power...On F1 2014 I was a second and a half per lap faster without TC, after I learned how to control wheelspin at slow corner exits

[@Random63R400]

On a racetrack traction control and stability control are useless

[@ThatGuyFromNantucket06]

This is my first F1 game so I'm using all the aids.

[@KierzYT]

thanks

[@JDisLimitless]

No problem :)

[@sebastianvettel7363]

One question, comment yes if you want to answer

[@geehammer1511]

Yes

[@DrummerBoii1411]

You know these kind of racing skills? Do they ever help you be better at driving on the road? Because you're looking for things on track so probably on the road it gives better reflexes or alertness to things? Don't know lol, just thought I'd ask.

[@JDisLimitless]

You can take some things such as the racing line, hand eye coordination but apart from that I wouldn't say it would mean you'll be good in real life! Both should be treated as separate :) Perhaps for sim games such as Rfactor and I racing you could transfer your actual driving skills to real life.

[@chitrangkadam9875]

Why don't you do a keyboard with all assists off challenge !? it'll be fun watching you !

[@JDisLimitless]

I might as well do doughnuts

[@Richard_Gonda]

he is on console

[@chitrangkadam9875]

+TRL Limitless I asked you for doing this challenge cause I wanted to learn how to drive on a keyboard without traction cause I am slow on with traction on medium!

[@chitrangkadam9875]

+TRL Limitless by the way thank you for acknowledging

[@Richard_Gonda]

Chitrang Kadam it's just not worth it (my opinion) better if you get a wheel or a pad.

[@EclipsedFox]

you're good

[@mart3095]

The racing line is the only thing of which I never understood why people like it so much, more of a distraction than aid if you ask me.

[@yunan9610]

Mart its mostly for the braking points

[@Georgexx13]

The video sums up into: Turn it off and practice 😂

[@JDisLimitless]

No secret formula :P

[@Georgexx13]

+TRL Limitless yeah, I know. I used to be a lot better back on 2011. Thanks for the tips ;)

[@silent_fluo6917]

I don't get why people find it hard to take the right lines? Like bro just use whole the circuit and the kerbs and when you go fastest thats the good line haha

[@silent_fluo6917]

Quite simple really?

[@nedflanders6267]

2:30 shit 😂

[@ahmielford503]

What type of driver am I ABS: off Traction control: off Racing line:corner only Gearbox: Manual Gears and suggested Pit assist: off

[@biggzy9677]

decent, although manuel gears alone would make it better, suggested isnt really needed, just listen to the engine if its making a racket then your in too low a gear if its quite and low then your in too high of a gear, the racing line is more difficult but like JD says everyone picks out there own reference points for braking and turn in, if u turn the line off, you can too.

[@geehammer1511]

One without confidence. My settings : ABS off. Racing line off. Gearbox Manual only. Pit assist off. Cockpit view
