[@ieurobeatkids9378]

Quick question for you. In the video you asked suelio if you could set up the periferals to feel the braking limit. I found that pretty interesting, as in AC with my t150 wheel I can feel when the abs is active. It's like a little rumbling and instability in the wheel. Does Iracing not do that for your wheel?

[@duck74UK]

@@ieurobeatkids9378 iRacing only sends to your wheel what a real wheel would feel, no extra effects to simulate what the cage of the car would give you.

as an italian who recently discovered this channel and benn a fan of Naska for years this video gets me super pumped, time to get popcorns

[@donoteatmikezila]

Just because he's a pro doesn't mean he doesn't need coaching. If anything professionals probably need and get a lot more coaching than casual racers because their skills are past the point of honing and self-improvement, when you're already so skilled finding more time is a multi-person effort that requires analysis and experimentation.

[@Teclys23]

Naska is such a good person :) Happy he had a lot of good time with you!

That was great to watch, thank you. I already followed both of you, it was a great crossover episode!

I saw this lesson on the course, went to track, got more than 1s on race pace and then this video is out. Great timing, great content!

[@mattsentell8275]

Longtime simracer with some real racing experience here. Your real life career would be better served by you racing (not just driving) in sims like rFactor 2 or Assetto Corsa, in addition to iRacing. In those sims you can learn to be comfortable with oversteer that can be corrected primarily with steering and is still very quick on lap time. iRacing has trained you to try and avoid letting enough oversteer develop that a steering correction is required, because it's slower and can easily lead to a loss of control in that sim. As you see in Alberto's real onboard, he is able to countersteer even on corner entry for a considerable length of time and yet the rears are not so overheated that the rest of the corner is a battle against oversteer. iRacing's tire heat properties are reflective of what happens in reality, but exaggerated to such a degree that it has likely given you a skewed perspective of what's possible irl.

[@WJeffH]

That's how you can drive fast in a lot of cars on iRacing, just not certain ones such as gt3 or porsche cup.

[@TheOfficialOriginalChad]

I disagree. You’re talking about driving on and over the limit, and that should always be learned PER SESSION. You should not be learning the limit in the sim and replicating it on track - that’s how people get hurt. 99% of the limit (no oversteer) is very very fast. 101% of the limit (moderate oversteer) is equally as fast. 103% (wheel spin, locking up brakes, etc) is very slow. I find that ACC, GT7, raceRoom, etc produced a lot of habits that get people into the 110% range and I have to teach them how to dial it back. THIS is why racing drivers don’t like them - they don’t want to have to turn off bad habits.

[@nathanstretch]

@@TheOfficialOriginalChad that makes sense, but if someone's specific bad habit is driving too far under the limit, then some practice in sims that reward slightly-over-limit driving more could help train them out of that habit. Of course it's still not a good idea to just immediately then go balls out irl, but I think Suellio is smart enough not to do that!

[@mattsentell8275]

@@TheOfficialOriginalChad I don’t understand how you interpreted what I was saying to be “learn the limit for specific session irl and then go out and replicate your driving.” I was generalizing. But fair enough, if you’re a driving coach for real life racing and seeing this be a problem for newcomers. In hindsight the much better suggestion would be to get some quality time in a proper kart - not a tame electric indoor kart but a proper one. Even if he’s already done that, filling in with karting sessions between car events could be really helpful. Anyway, hopefully he has a driving coach irl and isn't taking all his guidance from YT comments. 😀

[@MeistaSodaGaming]

It's so great to see both Suellio and Alberto working out things and also mindblowing to see how effective and how quickly the changes can be applied at their level.

[@kxnnibxl]

awesome video. this is my new go to place to learn about racing. you are really good at breaking stuff down and as someone who only has a really basic understanding right now its so easy to follow along. keep it up brother!

[@Octane_au]

This by far the best content I've seen on tire temp balance and its effects. 👏 Not many people have a proper understanding of this, and even less teach it. Also, your comments on relaxing and just flowing through mistakes to build consistent relaxation is applicable in all areas of learning and devellopment. I struggle with this alot in language and instrument learning. I always let small mistakes frustrate me and break my flow.

[@michaelgladkowski4202]

This knowledge about short term tire temp and grip is mind bending. What an eye opener. Immediately noticed it and can see how mastering it is the key to getting the car to rotate like I see the fast guys do in replays. Subbed!

[@TugboatTony]

[@Vittinable]

Great video! The best stuff, I'll try your course for sure, I'll get back into simracing this winter to practice a bit for next season. Regarding the bit about fear/self preservation at the end, I agree with Alberto, after a few crashes/hits you loose the fear of injuring yourself. The only thing left then is the cost, how much is going to crash cost me, and sometimes, you can live with it and send it from lap 1, sometimes you need to work up to it or even leave a small margin (specially when its not your car, I always do on other people's car). Im really hoping I can catch you at the track and talk a bit, maybe even race each other ;)

[@ericfaust5876]

The most interesting part of the video was the bit at the end about you being afraid to crash because of getting hurt. Definitely a hurdle to overcome.

[@cocosloan3748]

Amazing video - one of the best out there on the internet 👍

[@midslam]

Great video mate, more helpful insight. I found this out by realising I wasn't taking enough pace through the apex. So I backed off the brakes, and found more grip mid-corner and more lap time. It's easy to over drive a car, especially after a few laps when you feel comfortable in it.

[@yoyolito5646]

I have to free time and then go to this course and do it seriously. Incredible insights man. Great job.

That's why you need this Rumble thingy on your pedals. Or a haptic feedback in your seat. When you setup this right it actually gives you a lot of information. It's much more intuitive. I have new pedals but will install the simagic haptic on my pedals.

[@buttha_]

that's the way (unless you have bass shaker which gives you abs information). I just installed simagic haptic system on my VRS pedals using a 3d printed adapter. Feeling the ABS on the brake pedal is simply great and useful

[@orionmec]

I'm not a racer at all. But I really enjoyed this video. I just started flying in DCS and can easily see myself driving as well. I'll definitely watch your videos preparing for it!

For feeling the ABS and such I believe the Simagic haptic pedal reactor is a great solution since it has the power that it needs to create a real feeling.

[@heracliocamelo9653]

[@petermaardananders6803]

Can you read my mind or what LOL After having seen your video about trail braking, which was exactly what I was doing wrong and how to make it better (using the Mazda MX5). I used that knowledge and it did improve my cornering speeds, but ran into what you showed in this video. Corner entry understeer at some corners, I'm braking too much obviously and having wrong corner entries. Tried to correct that, but then ran into mid-corner 4 wheels drift in some corners, I did not understand why and could not figure this out on my own. And then you post this video, Suellio you are a mind reader extraordinaire LOL You have given me some more homework, thanks a lot :) LOL Hmm, what is next??? What will I run into next, you probably already know what and why and got a fix to it LOL And now I am off to do my homework, thanks Coach LOL

This is a great video, amazing content for everyone to watch! It would be great for people who prefer ACC if you are going to have a similar video for ACC as well.

[@fonkans]

There is also a trick to help you config your break pedal for iRacing if you use load cell. Setup OBS or something to record your screen or share your screen with a friend. Close your eyes and press and release your break a few times using only your muscle memory. Check the recording/friend. If you overshoot your target (80,85, 90% whatever it is), increase the load cell, if you dont reach decrease. Repeat a few times.

[@Kanuel650]

Great video! I’m currently reading your book! After this video I wonder does it make sense to run a season in the Porsche cup car since it doesn’t have ABS and Learn how to properly brake there and that will translate as a useful skill into all GT cars down the road?

I'm a WRC game player and working on WRC2 class. I bought course last month. I stopped inproving session time. After these online courses, I found seconds in sessions. I still can find seconds in my bad habits. These courses do work, especially you record and analyze your practice sessions. Work on one bad habit or concept at a time. You will find your seconds in sessions.

[@shaneWARs1]

I just got back in to iracing and in the last few weeks of the season and got destroyed by other drivers and lost my B licenses lol so I stopped qualifying seemed to always start in 8th can't put down a good lap then in races magically find peace and now I'm in C with fast drivers and can't gain I rating its madness 🙃

[@AndrewFosterSheff69]

I learned to snowboard on dry slope. When I hit real snow it was like "THIS IS EASY!" and I even ended up teaching it for a few seasons! So it's nice to hear that if you get good at SIM racing, real driving becomes easier. I guess it's the lack of real world tactile feedback (even from the brake pedal), such as G forces, bumps and jerks in the seat, peripheral vision etc. etc. etc.

[@AndrewFosterSheff69]

PS: Alonso was my fave F1 driver. I really enjoyed his driving style.

Awesome! Just subbed and Alberto Naska!! My Fav Euro Nascar/Legends/Moto legend. I havent seen him run that Kit car sports car that has the interchangeable body's in awhile. Did that fall thru or is that why the gt3 focus?

[@quacker8046]

I think he should've kept the brakes at 10% - 15% pressure when trailbraking in the second sector so he can rotate the car more which lowers the understeer Edit: I would've never guessed that it was the tire temperature affecting the understeer and the braking on entry that was causing the problem, it really shows why tire temperature is so important. Thank you suelio

I'm italian, and i see Alberto Naska always his video

[@KitchinMotorsports]

Honestly, this is interesting to watch for me because I do autox, and I have to force my car to rotate on the corners, so this driving style would feel more natural to me since I’ve only done a couple of track days and some Porsche instructors told me not to drive like that but it felt more natural for me to do it. Told me to brake then turn in and mid corner power out.

[@thailandretromods]

30:45 that's a race bike rider thing! Hooollllddd on! ❤😂

[@LogosLFTG]

Right when you asked what he could have done better in the first sector, I feel like that first corner he could have entered slightly earlier and had more gradual steering

[@iXiwar]

It's incredible how you just describe how my 24h of Anna endurance race on the nürburgring 24h circuit. Some time i was braking less and pointing less so I got lot of oversteer especially on cambered corner like all the nurb gp going down and the 2 first corners on the entrance of the Nord. And I was wondering of do they got 8 :13 when my best was 8 :17.5 so i think you make me realize it now. Question do that technic also work for all other car like GTP and Formula cars for the part of understanding of how the tire temp surface work and the tires behave ? And doss that work with other sim like rF2 and future release of LeMans Ultimate ? I guess yes but i'dd like a confirmation of my understanding of your lesson here
