His driving style reminds a lot of Alonso's. Those aggressive turn ins really rotate the rear exactly where he wants it. And the speed he's carrying through the corners is absolutely mental.

[@derblaue]

I think he's getting extremly close to the limit of the car.

It is so damn statisfying to watch such great and consistent laps. Gonna start sim racing right after my major exams and would definitely aspire to be of this caliber.

[@thedevil5475]

i can advise you to start simracing calmly and not expect to be on this level after a few months. the pace of the top esports drivers is the result of many years of hard work

[@nostalgicgaming5944]

If you aspire to be of this caliber then just don't lose motivation. It's hard. I remember when I first tried to get on pace with these guys. I was 5 seconds a lap slower than them per lap...and I thought I was driving fast 😂 guess I was wrong. It took me 3 months and I slowly chipped away at it. I can lap within 0.3 tenths of these guys now. Just don't give up and you'll get there.

Opmeer had to correct in every exit and never kept the wheel steady. The car drifts and slides more in the corners than it actually turns

[@mun1252]

you could easily be the best f1 commentator at the moment

[@AjiMaho91]

I believe that "swing" of the car is to make the braking line angled to the track line- hence making the braking distance measured parallel to the track shorter. BTW friendly reminder that you could compare pad vs wheel physics using axis mapping software (to make you wheel be recognized as gamepad).

Is it just me or does what you’re saying about his technique at ascari effectively doing a Scandinavian flick in an f1 car?

[@dsf0501]

Well you're trying to get more weight on the right tyres which means more grip (at least with f1 tyres, which can cope with the loads)

[@thomas-il8vj]

@@tHoM0r no its about weight distribution and more efficient race lines

[@Ssj3drk]

he is, this way the weight is already on the right which prevents the car from having weight transfter at the start of ascari and allows him to carry more speed

[@colinstone8096]

Interesting the comment on turning out to right a nudge and then back in for left turn. Just like skiing, particularly telemark, to get that weight transfer onto a new edge for the turn. Both feel natural.

Thanks for the all great comments and stay safe and I love your video and I love your car

[@duranvt3856]

Jarno is insane

[@quentin580]

You definitely have the 1 lap pace as seen in the world record lap times you do often. I think the low speed or sub 150kph corners Jarno shines more so as compared to you plus he does it consistently. You definitely have that potential, just need to be more aggressive with the wheel like you said. When I've watched your live streams you definitely are more gentle on the wheel and seeing jarno he just flings that wheel in the tight chicanes. I suspect that is very difficult and so understandable why he is one of the very best.

[@racingdiaryyoutube]

Good video, definitely will help me when I get to this track during my career mode

[@stoilke3947]

When your quali laps are only 4/5 tens quicker than his 100% racepace 🙄

[@mathys166]

90 isn't a bad difficulty. I'm the same age as you on a controller, and I play 100

At the moment I use 90 but gradually increase it to give myself more challenge and make myself a better driver

extra rotation

[@DonatoColangelo]

To-date, Jarno is the best!

[@johnnyeyez78]

You double dip when you swing the car like that. Not only are you using the steering wheel to turn the car you are also using the momentum of the swing to keep pace in the car and naturally shift the direction.

[@manuelcarvajal3992]

My opinion is, that they should create divisions from 1 to 3 or 5th division, and use a point system obviously to where relegations happens. They can make good money and can take advantage of the data of more players...

Time and patience. It doesn't happen overnight and there's no secret formula. Playing against other players who you consider to be good, watch their videos and play consistently is the way you improve leaps and bounds overtime. One key is to always enjoy it. If it becomes a chore or you find yourself frustrated more often than being happy, then take a break and approach it again.
