[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 😀

[@HowlerBikeVlogs]

looks like christmas came early this year, Suelio and Naska in 1 video talking about car behavior... amazing!! wish i could like the video more than just once haha

[@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!

[@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.

[@boebsiebyarada9964]

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

[@117simracing8]

I knew your chanel like in the back of my head but never payed too much attention. Watched a couple of your coaching and explanation videos dealing with some advanced sim racing challenges like this one, managing your tire temps short, mid and long term. Imo Suellio is fabuluous in explaining that stuff very, very good. Thx a lot. I really did take a lot of stuff i learned in your vids with me on track and everything had positive and measurable effects on my driving. And i got quite some years on my back. Paying attention to tempretures more like shown in this vid and also the advice to very deliberately relax your hands, arms and shoulder to be more sensitive for suttle FFB effects did gain me aroung 0.500 to 0.700 per lap, and i wasnt that slow before. Thx for your great content and all the best for you on track!

[@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.

[@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.

[@TugboatTony]

Might have been the best video ever. Thanks

[@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.

[@CTTsai-ft3mp]

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.

[@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

[@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

[@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 ;)

[@my951films]

Amazing video. As our all of your videos. I always learn something new. Just wanted to chime in and let you know. I don’t think you’re crazy for not pushing the envelope more in a real car. In real life, you don’t get to press reset like you can in a simulator. Top Gear did a great episode where they laped a Acura NSX at Laguna Seca in a racing simulator which I think was Gran Turismo 12 years ago versus an actual Acura NSX on that same track. They found back then that will always be faster because you don’t have to worry about death or serious bottle injury. Have fun. Be safe be comfortable. The world is a better place with you in it.

[@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.

[@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.

Hey @Suelllio! I have a question about setting my rig up. Especially having problems with the wheel position, having questions like: Am I sitting too close? etc. I feel limited when turning the wheel around 180 degrees either side (I have a gt3 type wheel). Always feels like I have to almost let go with 1 hand when turning. I want to have more control and feel what the car is going to do and so on. Maybe that is normal, I don't know, as I am quite new in racing with a full-on rig. Hope you answer, thanks for the advice! 😀

[@bygraviity9004]

Hey :) There are a lot of guides who can help you with setting that up in the right way, but a quick measure for the distance your wheel should be is that your wrist should rest on the top of the steering wheel when you extend your arm all the way. Also, i think you rarely have to go over 180 degrees unless youre driving a car with a small steering ratio (which usually use a round wheel anyway). Cheers!

Lessons ands musics are amazing thank u so much

[@f1_onboardsAC]

Iracing might be a bit critical, but that's muuuuch closer to real life than letting you do any stupid thing and getting unrealistically away with it like every other sim does. The only one with real life transfer is the Iracing model, and it is also the closest in pure physics. Plus not every tyre model is the same irl too. Pirellis and Michelins are completely dfferent irl on GT3s, and both are realistic.

[@rr_reaperqc]

Awsome!!!! Quick question, does this apply to the ACC tires/abs and all?

[@ThePavelo158]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but these kind of brake issue would have never happen if the student was driving something like Porsche cup. There you can never brake this hard over crests and always try to find the limit braking pressure. Then he could apply this approach to gt3s with abs.

[@Cartone_]

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

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

Guys, one things i want to always remind, don't fantasm to much on being really good in sim racing mean you'll be really good in real life. If you think that, you are going to kill urself when u will push as much as in iRacing. There is so much factor. The professionnal driver telling you that have equipements for sim racing that most of you cant afford. What he is saying will work if you have identical quality of material like the car you are driving in iRacing as the one in real life. 99% of sim racer dont have a full setup really close to 1:1. It's always important to remind that, i hear to much of if you are so good in sims you are same good as in real life. Players fantasm about that but the truth is mostly not.

[@Disorrder]

Wow! I know how to fix my setup for using this technique. I have moza r5 bundle and performance kit harder spring for break, and when I'm trying to push break pedal over 70% it just rotates forward. So I adjusted max to 70%, but now I can't break for 5% smoothly. So, I'll try to make max to 80% and continue to use it as before. So idea is to sacrifice 10% of max breaking which will help me to keep tires colder and push low brake better. What do you think?

[@ZacharyAmmerman]

At the start I think he could've used more of the track on the inside of tight corners and get the rotation he needs. I never knew that tire temperature could do so much!
