How To Get Better At iRacing | 04 | Braking

[@julieredmon1521]

I appreciate how well you laid all this out and no wasted words. You were clear and detailed. Great job sir and thank you.

[@DoriN12]

So nice of you to say Julie, I do my best to keep the BS out, with variable degrees of success mind you 😅

[@speedracer3967]

Thank you SOOOO much! I’ve finally found a channel that explains all this coherently!!! I’ve learned more in 2 videos than I have in two years racing! (To be fair, some of your training I just stumbled into knowing through trail and error) but even with that I’ve learned tons from you! Cheers mate! New subscriber!

[@DoriN12]

That's great to hear mate, thanks for subbing!

[@phillupson8561]

Loving your content, followed your Thrustmaster guide yesterday and my lap times literally tumbled, thanks for your hard work, it really is appreciated!

Great to hear Phill! thanks for watching

What Thrustmaster guide? :)

Would love to see one about how to find the best line, as well as the basics of overtaking and defending

[@Xillur]

Thank you for giving attention to one of the most important topics if you want to be fast in iracing. Good video :)

[@DoriN12]

My pleasure! thanks for watching

[@bobbyQQ]

Already know this will be another great video! Thanks for putting out all this content and providing us with so much good info. Keep it up. Ill always be watching!

Cheers!

[@nicholasmarshall3191]

Instead of threshold braking, I think I brake less hard, and drag/modulate the brake until I feel comfortable to turn/hit the gas. Thanks. This is helpful.

[@DoriN12]

Not a bad technique, in fact, it's one that I use often. It's kind of hard to relay that in a video, but it's something you'll see a lot of high level drivers do. It's more to do with varying levels of grip throughout the braking zone, which is why it's so hard to give a specific example on how it should be done, as every corner is gonna be a little different. It's up to you to decide how you want to brake to each individual corner, sometimes I'd threshold brake, sometimes I'd modulate the pedal. It's just a matter of experimentation...

[@dionscarman1650]

Great video, as always. I would like to have seen this demonstrated on non load cell pedals. Reasons being 1) most people that will benefit likely won't have load cell brakes, and 2) the movement of the brake pedal will be a lot more obvious to better understand the concept.

[@DoriN12]

Hey Dion, thanks! In general, there's no difference in how you brake with load cell compared to a potentiometer. Yes, the travel length could be different, but what matters is the input you get in the sim. So whatever you need to do to get to similar levels of inputs would serve you well. Hope it helps 🙂

[@dionscarman1650]

@@DoriN12 yep, spotted the on screen pedal inputs on my second watch through 🤦‍♂️ I was too busy watching your actual foot. Anyways, off to practice now. Thanks for the great content.

[@sjaakiejwaakiej7989]

Thanks, your videos are great to become better. Could you make a video about shifting?

[@DoriN12]

Can't say there's much for me to add on shifting mate

come back man !

[@phatfel]

Omg yes!!!! I've never clicked on a video so quick lol

[@DoriN12]

lol, cheers Felix I hope it helps

[@Billybaka]

top tier tips .. thanks

[@DoriN12]

You bet!

[@josearroyo7138]

Hi Dorian, Ive been watching your videos so far my favorite ones. When you change brake bias during the race I much do you change?

[@DoriN12]

Really depends, but usually no more then 2-3 clicks throughout the racer

[@mahmutdundar6673]

Hello mate nice and clean and also easy to understand thank you very much I have a question about your pedal. Did you make any changes on iracing because ı usually lock up while breaking on dallara p207

[@DoriN12]

No changes to the settings, but if you're running load cell brakes you need to make sure to set force factor down to 0 in the game settings

[@mahmutdundar6673]

@@DoriN12 I am using tlcm pedals but can not manage tires properly usually locking up :(( ı thought you made an arrengement on tlcm calibration software

Thanks Paul 👍

why aint u wearing shoes? for break pedal at least?

[@sherfillouisy]

Thanks great video

[@DoriN12]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Arckangium]

have u change the setting range of ur break pedal in the setting document ?

[@DoriN12]

nope. that's a bad habit imo

[@Arckangium]

@@DoriN12 ok thx

[@rjpgamingaustralia2210]

@@DoriN12 agreed

[@Tweej]

ABS info is helpful as, yes iracing treats it differently.

[@DoriN12]

Agreed! and thanks (:

[@yannis4259]

Guess this is a stupid question, but I'm asking anyway (asking for a friend): moving BB backwards is higher or lower number? 👀

[@aerocross]

Usually, brake bias is biased towards the front tires. This means higher number = more to the front

[@DoriN12]

Forward means up, backwards means down

[@qet]

Why am I seeing abs up to 11 in GT3 streams for most of the guys ? It's just broken there?

[@DoriN12]

not sure, but usually that's what you'll find in most setups

[@ChristianSachaNovak]

Isn’t it funny I have no idea what some of the stuff you are saying is but I’m 5k IR just below you. You are way better than me though.

[@aerocross]

This was really good in comparison to other braking videos! Excellent job. Would love to hear more about how to effectively use ABS in GT3 cars, why it's bad etc. - you barely touched on that!

[@DoriN12]

Cheers Mario, my aim here is to keep things short and simple. But in general, all I really do is try to minimize the ABS kicking in, so to not overheat the front tires.
