This Makes Your Bad Habits WORSE! - Sim Racing Tip

Learn why changing setups to adapt to your driving style might not be the best idea in the long term, depending on the stage of your driving technique. Here I'll tell you a story about a coaching session with a racing driver who wanted to learn more about setup changes. His ultimate goal was, like everyone, find laptimes.
I've been working with this student for some years already and he's been improving massively. He went from 1.5k iRating to around 7k in these years and he keeps improving a lot. He approached me to talk about setup changes, but I wasn't sure if that was the best idea for him... yet.
I mostly post videos about racing technique and my goal is to make you drive faster. If you like the content, let me know in the comments :)

This is exactly one reason I suggest driving a fixed setup series before going to the open. Get used to driving around the setups will give you a lot more tools when your setup isn't dialed in.

[@LupusAries]

Same goes for continuing a training session with a damaged car. It'll teach you how to deal with a damaged or dented car in a race, a skill that had me reach much higher positions than my pace would've allowed at the time. Together with either keeping my nose clean or mostly clean. Admittedly some cars, like the 935 or 330 P4, were scary to drive with a dented steering arm or other slight suspension damage.

[@angryginger791]

Yep, and practicing in fixed lobbies makes it easier to compare yourself to others. If you aren't at the top of the board, you know there is more you could be doing in your driving to get faster.

Video idea: How to make an understeery car oversteer and an oversteer car understeer? I think it'll be helpful to a lot of people.

[@toddthezondalover645]

I think chosing a car "style" and sticking to it is going to be most valuable. If your style prefers a predictable car with minimal pendulum, go FR. If you want a scalpel instead of a steak knife, go for MR (I recommend McLaren). Some people really only vibe with the unique, over exaggerated style of the 911, and never use anything but RR. If it is a one-make, camber settings and the differential make the difference. Diff makes a diff bro!! Lol

[@SRT302]

@@toddthezondalover645 Yeah, I'm more suited to MR but sometimes you need to adapt, I just want to know the tricks in adapting to cars that understeer or have uncontrollable oversteer

[@jamesmccaul2945]

@@toddthezondalover645You love Zondas? Do you have a model or toy version of that car?

[@carlosalvarez8076]

Splendid video man, I am learning this in a tournament that I'm racing on with that Porsche Cup, I feel that this car has teach me a lot about car behavior and driving technique. And that combined with the Motorsport checklist is just mind-blowing, I have two years in simracing and I'm almost catching a Suramérica kart champion, this is for all of you out there to notice how good the motorsport checking is.

[@dustinmcghie3979]

Suellio, your mini lessons and quick tips are great and very much appreciated. To the point and most importantly, practical. Thank you.

[@jogabonito8989]

This is a great channel! Concise and detailed. I've watched other popular channels who just waffle and don't explain things nearly as clearly as you do!

[@nicolasotis]

«Oversheer and undersheer». I love your accent! Good content, as usual Suellio!

[@dechols87]

yo the editing in your this video should be mentioned. Great vid Suellio and as always great great tips and insight

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Thanks man! Improving a bit every day!

[@sumtingwong2138]

I just take setups from fast laptimes I find on YT for the track and car combo, even if I don't like the feeling of the car, I know it's fast so I adapt

[@CaptainCrunch99]

Great insight on what’s really going on!

[@robc1154]

This was really good. Thanks !

[@AnwarHaikalRuslan]

I found this out when I forgot to tune my setup in a practice lap in Sepang and Suzuka, and somehow got the same time as my usual "rally" setup despite complaining about understeer at every turn. I'm not a pro by any means, but coming from WRC, Dirt Rally 2.0, and Richard Rally Burns, I enjoy driving cars with a very strong negative front camber. This just feels better to me, but it definitely wears out and overheats the tire more.

[@henu_park]

It's a good video. I'm also iracing KZbinr. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!

[@JaredAkers]

Awesome. thanks again, another great learning moment. Q: I run mostly open wheel (iRacing), but what car do you suggest on iRacing for learning the most? (I see 992, Mx5, Skippy, a lot, curious what your thoughts are)

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Porsche cup is understeery on entry and oversteery on exit. Formula Ford is oversteery on entry and understeery on exit. Alternate both and you'll be a sim racing god

[@pedrojorge2741]

@@SuellioAlmeida Any similar recommendation for Assetto Corsa?

Thanks for the video

[@ingeniussoul8390]

Sounds a bit extrem, but I wish we would not be allowed to change setup. I mean, I wanna be a better driver, not a better tech engineer ! Why should you feel you won or lost a race because of setup ?? This should get out of the equation

[@rex1800]

i love you and your videos. and racing

[@loucosporvelocidade]

pena voce nao criar conteudo para o Brasil

[@1xRacer]

Release the brake too early or fast you lose front grip... can see in Telemetry

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Yep, he was trying different brake release speeds but the real solution was the steering speed in the end, then the braking trace naturally followed the path

[@1xRacer]

@@SuellioAlmeida thanks for clarifying, very cool!!
