How to Drive a Dirt Car with a Real Driver | IRACING TIPS AND TRICKS

[@nickr8147]

A little late but I just went to a dirt race in ports mouth Ohio and LOVED it. I am now obsessed with dirt racing...

[@teamloomisoutdoors1787]

Welcome to the insanity

[@CheeseCracker73]

If you get a chance go to atomic raceway if you haven't already

[@nickphilkill8287]

Atomic speedway is a great place high banked half mile in Chillicothe Ohio. Eldora speedway is a must at some point for either the kings royal sprint car race or the world 100 late model race. I also really like moler raceway park near Mount orab ohio which is a 1/4th mile bullring

[@nickphilkill8287]

Also bushcreek is near portsmouth that's a 3/8th mile I have never been there before

[@LifeIsFrRoblox]

@jimmyjohns710 yep

[@jasonh7726]

As a former dirt driver and now iracer, LISTEN to this person, he is telling you EVERYTHING you need to know at least to get to class C from rookie.

[@Nuclear_Lemon]

like, a real dirt driver?

[@jasonh7726]

Yeah@@Nuclear_Lemon

[@Dondrifts]

Im in class c now, idk what to buy

[@br329]

I won my first Iracing street stock dirt race because of this video! It was such a big help! Thanks alot man!

[@Dylan_Miller]

Nice!

[@nickterrell3048]

Adding to this, I did a street stock race, did "meh" decided to look around for tips, found this video, and next race I ran, I was running 2nd within a second of the leader for most of the race and ended up actually winning it when they had issues dealing with a lapped car. Having the vast majority of my races being road and then followed up by oval, this dirt stuff is a whole new world for me. Thanks for the video!

[@JoeLuskRacing]

Since there are some who seem to not understand, this will specifically help with iRacing. Concepts still apply to real life, but loosely. Real life cars have far more complex mechanics and balance. Don't take it as gospel.

[@chasehill5607]

Joe Lusk Racing I play nascar heat 4 online mode but when I try to set the car it won’t work and I have to turn my steering wheel left not right but everyone else turns their steering wheel right.can you please help me

[@blakecorbitt2817]

Chase Hill nascar heat 4 is so unrealistic and the cars front go’s up instead of down

[@JBoston50]

Your video quality just keeps getting better, keep up the good work man!

[@JoeLuskRacing]

+Josh Boston Doing my best!

[@starmotorsports8937]

I busted out laughing at the sprint car doing wheelies😂great vid man!

[@patwatson7543]

Sprint cars and super late models will do wheelies,my late model makes over a thousand HP, and when I had it normally the front Left wheel will come about two ft off the ground,the sprint car is even worse I've seen them raise both wheels completely off the ground at a 130 MPH down the back stretch

[@ianjaiden6905]

You probably dont care but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!

@Cairo Francis thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Cairo Francis It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out !

[@simflyr1957]

10 out of 10... been around dirt my whole life and this hits perfect!!!

[@lonniemercer42l]

As a former dirt track race you NEVER tail whip your car. It disrupsts the suspension and bite. You use steering and throttle to enter and exit a corner percisely.

[@williammaine5254]

This is true if you prefer a looser setup. However, if you prefer a tighter setup, you most definitely have to whip the tail around. Can't set it unless you do.

[@BlackBanshee679]

can somebody link the video where he explains the cars, I can't find it lol

[@Unique1Media]

W out detail..... *#1 is setup. !!! #2 understand Dirt / getting lose / drift / how to steer / how to & understand breaking traction... To get around the turn #3 know how to drive / learn how to drive

[@fabi57iamracer]

If the the track is solid rubbed tacky the drive is almost like on pavement, no sideways needed for speed.

[@TheNismo480]

From about 16 years old till my late 20s I ran street stocks late models an modifieds....LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!!

[@IntrepidRacer13]

Great video, a lot of good tips! I'd like to clarify something though because I'm not seeing really anyone else mention it. The way you talk about setting the car is not the same as a Scandinavian Flick. I think a better way to talk about it is "pitching the car in". The Scandi Flick results in a similar effect to setting the car, of getting it sideways, but is totally different in approach. A real Scandi Flick involves turning the car away from the corner very quickly, and then snapping the wheel back towards the corner to turn it in before counter steering to hold the slide. This method is used to very quickly rotate the rear of the car as it puts a lot of weight transfer energy into the car. This method can work in dirt oval in the experience that I have, but the cars are not set up to drive this way.

[@wuztron]

Seeing a Middleswarth sprint is awesome. My uncle Phil raced for them wayyy back when and their shop is right up the street from my house.

[@youknoweverything7643]

As a former longtime asphalt and dirt racer in real life feom age 10-30 this guy js absolutely correct on everything and related to real life as well

[@wreckstoracecars]

Picked video because I was interested in something post season. The video content is true to real life. Thing is you don't get to choose what the track is like when you unload the car. Dry slick is a challenge. I hear the rubber just screeching off my tires. I shredded mine in the last race of the year (why not, ya know). I might try this sim out. It doesn't look like this has ruts in it. A real pucker factor is hitting a rut at speed in a turn.

[@JFein]

Nice video! I wish you had done a follow up on how to drive the late models....they’re the only dirt car I can’t figure out even a little bit, lol. I understand how to be fast in all of the others, but I always feel awkward and slow in the late models.

[@voodoo7008]

I have about 80 races under my belt, and actually picked up a little info from this. Especially at Eldora. That track gives me fits, and I paid close attention to your line. During our little offseason in December, I plan on practicing using the brake more entering the corners so I can go in a little hotter, and also using brakes when needed throughout the corners. Right now, this does not come naturally to me, and have a tendency to screw it up. Also need to work on the lowest line. I usually end up running the safest line once things string out, and that does not help me catch anyone.

[@justinzhang9283]

Great stuff! Will definitely follow future videos. I came from drifting in assetto corsa and I never thought that I'll enjoy iracing's dirt oval so much!

[@CRTracing69x]

Hey running that cushion curtal in every class .....good vid

[@micahmorris2905]

Good job...in a late model use of the top is vital just as much as the bottom groove.

[@patwatson7543]

I've been running super late models for 30 years setting the car is correct,the problem in real life is most people panic and can't set the car it's had when you are going a 100 plus MPH and have to intentionally cause the car to go sideways

[@geraldgreen9991]

I think you did this segment REALLY well! Do you have any others???

[@fenrirbatdorf713]

This was extremely helpful, thank you

[@baribari600]

this was very useful... they really should add information on things track conditions to the game's documentation.

[@OkieDokieSmokie]

Don’t neglect changing the steering ratio immediately if the car is just driving on eggshells. Sometimes the difference between 8:1 and 10:1 is not liking a car and loving a car.

[@RDMracer]

4:03 Me, a rally, rallycross and drift simmer on a dirt oval before watching this video...

[@Clumrat]

Great video! The music was a bit too loud at times, but very informative.

[@AllKindsOfCarStuff]

Also, I'd really like if you would get in-depth on the tuning of each dirt car, especially the midget and UMP.

[@kingsgambit7734]

how about a guide to how to run a lane for beginners. I am finally getting a handle on the driving part....but hit cars way to often. :(

[@JacobAlexanderrr]

My dad raced modifieds a long time ago and he won a couple state championships and point championships and he used throttle the whole way around besides letting off of the gas going in

[@homeslice7747]

OffTheCharts PS4 It all depends on the track, the power of the car, the banking etc.

[@patwarson217]

I've been racing late models for 20 years another 10 years in street stocks but what I tell everyone who asks about throttle control I tell them listen to the motor in a turn if starts reving and your not moving let off let it get a bite and then go

[@isaacgonzales6615]

You should visit the Elma track in Washington

[@Rammstein45]

Marion Center Speedway was my local track, it's closed down for good now though. :/

[@user-vw8xr4ir2q]

Well to set the car u would use the break u tap the break as your letting off the gas then as it’s rotating u get back into the gas

[@user-vw8xr4ir2q]

But I’ve never rlly played iracing so I couldn’t rlly say much but irl that’s what I personally do

[@Tyborg425]

I remember growing up my dad would take me to the local track to watch these races among other types of series. So the other day I got iracing for road only, and I thought there it is, so why not. I went in for a practice and raced my ghost around, after a few laps I though oh this is really fun might as well join a race and see if I can pick up some other things racers are doing I may miss. I get in and don’t really quali, I was just going to hang back at the end of the pack. So I gave the field plenty of warning I was just going to hang back and stay out of everyone’s way. First corner everyone at the back crashed into the wall lol oh well I can pass those guys. The next group of guys I ended up racing because of the slower speeds I figured I could pass them too to be safe. Did my 20 laps ended up 3 or 4th (can’t remember) all and all it was a great experience. And I realized people at the rookie level are far worse than I thought.

[@craigneves]

That was cool to see USA International Dirt......I've made 100's of laps at the real track in a real Late Model before it closed down.

[@asanisi]

Also, that's not what Scandinavian flick is. What you described is simply switching from turn-in to countersteering.

[@Foxxune]

Still relevant for rookies three years later 👍🏻

[@Ohio_Hobbies_Guy]

The new micro winged sprints don't drift. It's all about keeping full speed around the turns.

[@peadookie]

FYI, the definition you give of the scandi flick is pretty far off base. It's AKA a 'pendulum turn' because you steer away from the corner, applying breaks to load the front, the 'flick' the car back to the inside of the corner.

[@xwingsports5856]

I still can’t get the car to drift do you hold the gas when you tilt your controller stick to the left then right?

[@Pudnite]

Wow, nice editing man!

[@jamesdegraff]

Excellent content!

[@kwdivikaw]

Excited for the future videos!!

[@gagagaroutte3391]

[@holdmybeer]

i scored a race car mech/fab job. i hope to be in the driver seat someday.

[@bobby2265]

How do you keep the steering wheel from snapping back to the right when you straighten up in the straight away. Also how much force feedback do you run.

[@JoeLuskRacing]

First make sure your wheel is configured correctly. Steering sensitivity can cause issues. I run pretty low force feedback at like 2.6 strength. My wheel range is 1080 degrees. I'd first check your wheel range!

[@TheLettich17]

I see you used Williams grove for your video 👍

I know one of the main cheats in asphalt (used most effectively in the Street Stock series) is to ride the brake until those rotors are glowing orange...(Most Realistic Racing Simulator!)...like you could do that in real life. But I didn't know you could set track state in testing...good to know!
