F1 2020 Driving School - How to drive very fast!

[@revirdkcalb]

Thanks! I feel like the most underrated tip I have ever had for sim racing is the looking at the apex. That really shaves up a couple of tenths easily. I, unfortunately, play with the racing line in the corners, and I catch myself focusing on the line too much and so not looking at the apex I want to hit. But whenever I do remember to look at the apex I do carry much more speed through the corner.

[@cyclenutter2715]

Why don't you get rid of the racing line, then?

[@scrambomclegend8389]

Yh defo ...get tid of racing line ...track will open up

[@revirdkcalb]

@@cyclenutter2715 That's much easier said than done lol. I would need to put in quite some hours to learn all the braking/turning points for all tracks. And unfortunately, I do not have all that time. Maybe some tracks I would already be able to drive without line, like Australia (since it's the track I've put in more hours). But for others, the struggle would be very real.

[@RGRSRegen]

I would love to see tips for Monaco, as I am slower on that track compared to others.

[@culturalasiannerd]

[@RGRSRegen]

@@Alex-hr2qq I downloaded a tune from the steam workshop. I think my problem is not knowing where to brake and where to come out of the apex.

as you can seeeee

[@ccramit]

For guys still using the racing line assist: If you are going into every corner where the line is still green, you are braking too hard. You should try to make it a goal to where the racing line is still yellow. If it is green, you are braking too much and scrubbing off too much speed. The racing line assist and the braking indicator is to ensure you don't go off the track, but not necessarily a guideline for the quickest lap. Brake later and aim for yellow colored blocks in corners and you will see lap times drastically improve. Then once you improve lap times, you can start to get rid of that assist.

[@DavidStanko14]

Oh OK thank you

[@harit9380]

This was exactly what is missing! I was not able to understand what I was doing wrong. But looking at the apex tip and the one with brake and rotation. Just what I wanted. Thanks a lot mate!

[@SuperWebzone]

Beware of downshifting too quick in f1 2020 will give you more gearbox wear, confirmed by devs on forum.

[@sahal02201]

I dont find gearbox wear that bad to be honest, unlike the power unit parts😶

[@TheRichLeprechaun]

I started 2 days back... thanks to this I really felt some improvements. I'm always slower than everyone around my in Online. So I did some practice in Australia and was able to pull a 1:24.768, I felt speedier trough the corners. I normally was too afraid to use the Apex or use the full length of the track and with that fear gone, I'm more daring and getting really fast trough every corner. I just tend to somehow lose time in straights.

[@KNDCHV]

Thank you man, I really hope you and other experienced players to keep educating us the noobs. I just started a week ago and I am having real trouble with the game. I started right of the bat without assists so I can learn without them and I think I am doing kiiinda okay, but the braking is giving me real trouble. And this video really helps. For sure I will watch it a few more times so I can really focus on the things you said.

[@lucasgarcezxyz]

I always break to soon or too early :(

[@thunderchaser2042]

I'm running a my team career right now, and having hell with the practice programs for Australia. I between .5 and 4 seconds off of the pace. I've tried all of the preset setups and thrown just about everything I can think of at custom setups with no better results. I've even set the controller settings to some extreme settings.

[@iglooproductions]

I’m into DiRT Rally 2.0 so allot of this stuff I already know, but had to find out through just driving. Things like left foot braking- on Tarmac I was able to shave off 9 seconds in one stage just by learning that. Anyway I bought f1 2019 because I really wanted to drive the 70’s cars, and it was the newest f1 game that had them. I do ok at it, I find it’s more just patience and holding the right racing line and braking points. Rally is more wild, cutting corners, braking as late as possible. More fun imo, but f1 is interesting.

[@lalintr2279]

Great video buddy! A video about driving without traction control would be nice! Cheers from Chile :D

[@forsaken841]

Ya don’t need a whole video. Just upshift sooner and becarful with your throttle application. It’s not rocket science

[@williamrosa8577]

The tips he gave on the video are pretty much what you should do without any assistance. Break hard at first, ease on the brakes as you're steering and then smoothly increase the throttle as you're exiting. You'll find that if you break too much while steering you'll lock up and if you apply too much power on the throttle you'll lose control and possibly spin. With practice you'll develop a feel for the car and it will be like second nature.

[@Tweej]

I've seen all these tips elsewhere as I'm desperate to cut a bit more time but how this was presented and explained really helped, subbed and ready to plough through your videos!

[@scrambomclegend8389]

Watch jarno opmeer dude ...

[@tea7923]

Hey could you make a video on your quick throttle application, if I even try going half throttle on that turn 1 in Bahrain I spin even with short shifting, how do you apply so much throttle without spinning?

[@tayntedmemories]

I recommend trying to ease into throttle. If your spinning, it's because too much power is put down on the rear wheels (F1 is RWD obviously) And the rear doesn't have enough grip to handle this sudden power, and it spins.

[@felskangaroo]

Best video I have seen on braking and throttle control.. think you can do a full lap guide series? I wonder why your videos arent so popular! good job mate..

[@PhilipJFry-tm9ve]

It’s kinda funny I suck at fighting games cause I can never remember the combos but in a day I learned 3 tracks and how to play without all the assists on. I struggled for the first couple hours getting use to no traction control since I just went ahead and turned that off completely but after a while I started getting less over anxious on the throttle and now I rarely spin out. I’m still trying to figure out when I can hammer down the throttle so I consistently loose time there. Even when i short shift I can’t just hammer down the throttle it takes finesse. Its just hard being patient on the throttle when you see other cars planting the throttle just a few inches ahead of you when your just learning to turn off tc. I went ahead a started a new my team at as low of an ai I can get without being left in the dust or being on top. It sucks that I had to lower the difficulty but it’s great for building confidence when your just starting to turn off all the assists.

[@JevanSangha]

Why would you still even have traction control? Surely hovercars are the shit for you now in the year 3021...

[@Sagak-c5q]

The best tips video out there. Keep up the good work mate

[@formulamontage1679]

Thanks for this video, the biggest issue I have is finding breaking points because I have literally no idea when to break and every corner except the ones that you take flat out, I over shoot or under shoot them all

[@TimmyTheSnail]

The sad part is ever since getting a wheel I prefer playing in cockpit cam because it’s more realistic but T cam is the faster camera because you can see more 😭😭

[@lukesmith2130]

TimmyTheSnail there is an option to turn the halo off on cockpit cam

[@goodmorning1332]

You can adjust the cockpit camera however you like and I think is pretty cool and easier once you adjust it well

[@TimmyTheSnail]

Great video, thank you. Also, please do a video on how to start driving without TC and ABS. Please include everything from FFB settings (linearity/dead zone, etc.) to whether it's better to do one first and then the other or both right out the gate. Thank you.

[@alan133]

Not op or good at this game, but what I did was stick with no TC and ABS for a few days. My time got worst and I had to turn down the AI just so I can get something other than 22nd in my team (the same difficulty I played with Mid TC and ABS on I was consistently getting P10 or better) Even after turning down the difficulty I couldn't even finish in points. Went to a time attack mode on Spain just to practice with zero assist on. I got frustrated by the slow times and turned on my old assist settings just to see how much better I was with those on. Lo and behold the first corner I realized my brakes aren't biting into the road at it's limit and I'm forced to brake earlier. I also realize I couldn't put power down as soon as I'd like to. That's when I realize how much faster I can be if I can master no assist.

[@michaelkaminski]

@@alan133 It's been a while since I posted this but I want to thank you for your reply. A couple months in now, I too traveled the same road you did and arrived at the same place. After sticking with it, I'm now able to complete online 50% - 100% races with no assists and in cockpit view. I'm now working on just getting faster but feel I'm still a bit away from that. Thanks again for your comment and for confirming, there're just no short-cuts. Good luck with your racing!

[@TheMaundy69]

Question i have because i want to learn this for my league racing is to how do you get into a habit of using all the track space i.e rumble strips and curbs.

[@maxbenard2246]

Very insightful thanks. One question I would have is about braking points. You say that memorizing the right one is crucial, but would it just be easier to turn on the racing line and use those braking points? Or are those not good? Thanks

[@scrambomclegend8389]

If you turn your racing line off the track will open up and feel more natural

[@josh8962]

I don’t think the extra rotation works like 2019 anymore. In this year you need to stiff up the rear anti-roll bar and pin the throttle at corner exits.

[@fittipaldi1984]

Excellent tips man.

[@moshlundgren]

Do you have any driving assists on bud? I turned them off for the reaslism but I'm finding this game too hard with a controller.

So, for total beginner's info (ie me!) you keep talking about shifting up/down and breaking. So what keys do that? I'm using a controller on a PC but can't work out which buttons/keys do what ... yes got acceleration on right button and steering on left joystick but rest I've no idea.

The throttle is just so sensitive, hardly touching it, and it spins out (t3pa pedals, calibrated and working as intended, testing to increase acc linearity RN) Could manual gears help with braking and wheelspin?? (I'm driving with almost all assists off, TC medium, automatic, and driving lines on new circuits.) Any tips much appreciated.

I feel so out of control in this game, played many racing sims over the years, this I my first F1 game cause i love the My team concept they added. Not sure if im just not used to these types of cars or what, from braking, cornering, pulling out of a corner its crazy frustarting. Feel like the AI wantes me to rear end them also, they brake so early. SHall not give up thoight thanks fore the tips. I feel like I NEED a steering wheel for this one.

[@docinabox258]

I always lock up it’s so hard to drive car

[@MTheroy]

4zap7 Assetto Corsa, project cars, Shift, GT, iracing, rfactor, etc I can go on and on back 20 years... even played DCS a jet fighter sim better with a controller than this game. I travel a lot so I can’t always take my rigs other wise I’d never use a controller. After I adjusted a few assists it’s actually not so bad, they help with using a controller tremendously.

[@MTheroy]

4zap7 haha I’ll hesitate to say enjoyable at all, just held me over until I got back home to my setup. It’s rough for controller users no matter what 😩

[@jname9368]

Controller is *horrendous* on this game if you wanna be competitive. I've been a pad user since 2013, always within the top 1% in time trials, the odd league racing, but this game I just cannot go as fast as I want with the controller. Its too hectic? You have to be unbelievably precise with turn ins as its overly responsive (whereas with a wheel you can just ease the steering into the corner), and the quick change of direction is almost impossible to nail on a consistent basis

[@evanwilson9906]

I got myself a wheel some time ago and you're absolutely right. it does feel really weird and almost like you have to start over. I can assure you tho, that you will learn by time and by a bit of training you will be right back destroying corners and maybe a little more than with the controller. Since I got my wheel I have improved from the driver AI level 50 with a controller to level 100 with the wheel.

[@goodkarma782]

I play with a controller and have played with wheel too, with the controller its easier to turn your wheel quickly so just practice more on wheel n you'll be able to overcome the understeer.
