On the line illustration, the corner is the last corner at Laguna Seca, and the direction is from the right to the left! Sorry for not making that clear in the video!

[@kronzomg]

Was about to comment this! Took me way too long to figure that out 😂

[@1forgiven2]

When you change the control points on the (Bezier?) curve, the MRP actually moves, it is no longer at the blue dot. For example, when the radius of the curve to the right of the blue dot decreases, it means that the MRP moves to the right of the dot as well.

Dude this is basically breaking and accelerating like people who are real race drivers never watched a single second of those tutorials.

[@kieroneil]

I’m an analytical guy who’s been sim racing for three years and videos like this make sense to me. First time I’ve seen it explained that way and I’m pretty sure you could mathematically prove it with the right metrics. Keep up the good work.

[@angryginger791]

Agreed. I've been following Suellio for years now. His ability to analyze, and especially to self-analyze, is quite impressive. Then he couples that with an equally impressive talent for communicating what he learns. He's always my go-to recommendation for drivers looking to improve their technique. Even with things I already know, he often gives me a new perspective or points out a detail I hadn't thought of. I probably sound like a fanboy, but it's hard not to when the person is actually deserving of the praise.

[@Surrentino]

Your way of explaining concepts is beyond regular teaching. I bought the motor racing checklist course and man even if english ain't my native language i'm feeling like i can absorb so much things in such an easy way compared to the past. Kudos from an italian student Suellio!

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Thank you for your trust!

[@CedKabandana]

Once I started a race. It was a 100 min race and i was faster than a dude by almost 1 sec. In the end of the race he managed to jump me due to my inconsistency and even if his best laptime was slower he finished 3rd and me 5th. Consistency is so underrated

[@nicholasparker3786]

Agreed, I used to do a championship with my mate and brother. They were faster but I just stayed on line and won almost everytime.

[@Choccolicious]

15:50 I like how you plugged the motor racing checklist!!! Quick, easy, no bullshit, straight to the point and back to the video. Tenho assistido todos os seus vídeos e a cada vídeo eu me torno mais rápido! Valeu Suélio 🫡♥️

[@pasteghost428]

Anyone who has dabbled into the occult can tell you, this MRP principle is very much in line with the geometric principle of the golden ratio. Your boy, Sumelio is onto something with this presentation. He's been winning me over little by little, subverting my desire to hate on this young genius because of his age. Good work, man. I'm a Belieber.

[@CockMcBallsddd]

Lol and you have dabbled in the occult I guess? I mean you know about the super secret golden ratio. . so it must be true. Lol.

[@Febersouza]

You're the best man, Since i started watching your videos my lap times and results in races have been much better, your videos are so good that it helps me with my karting carrer and sim racing. Ver um brasileiro alcançar tanta coisa me deixa muito feliz cara.

[@auxijun2816]

I've come to realize this concept after watching a bunch of your other videos, and continuously tried to explain this to my brother but couldn't properly give a visual demonstration. Thank you so much for making this video and perfectly showing a visual representation of the line the car wants to take at the limit and how the line changes when moving the MRP. You hit the nail on the head! This is incredibly useful and I'm definitely going to be sharing this around to all my racing friends.

[@KxK2channel]

suellio thank you for helping us with these racing concepts and programs, u have given me motivation and made me much faster.

[@thebloodyvlad]

Even if the technique is available for everyone and can be discovered naturally and organically, Suellio is a genius teacher because he is able to describe such a complex concept so we all got that "aha" moment. Bravo!🎉

[@maxakamvp]

Another banger! Thanks Suelio for gifting us with all these great coaching for free! You are a legend and have made me improve sooo much. I'm definitely buying your curse eventually, it isn't cheap... But I'm sure it is worth every single cent and more. Big hugh from Spain!

[@LikuidK]

I've been reading your book and this is an excellent companion video for the MRP concept. I'm about 2000 iracing level and found it quite useful for getting that little bit of extra performance playing with angles to the apex. I didn't really think about it helping me learn tracks faster but it actually does. Thanks again for making such excellent content abd congrats on your irl racing career!!

[@KevinJDildonik]

Worth repeating: the "perfect apex" aka balanced in and out situation only works when corners are tightly packed. Anytime you have long straights leading in or out of corners, inclines, etc, you will need to adjust. This effect is exaggerated for higher power cars, where late apex before a long straight is essential for laptime. In many lower power student cars, yes it can be essential to have these "perfect" corners. Because you will usually be fighting to lose the least speed possible at the MRP. Until you're fighting to pass someone, etc etc, and then you need changes again. So yes, this is a very critical tool. But it is one tool in the bag.

[@adamthompson8432]

Agreed, but this is really well done for the beginner who has no clue or even a guy with a couple years experience. It’s great for the pros as a reminder too. Obviously you aren’t always going to get the perfect scenario but often times road racing does get spread out so you can focus on the perfect APEX when you aren’t worried about passing or being passed. The point of this video was to clear up lots of confusion around the term “apex” and I believe he nailed it. I know I will be looking at every corner differently now. Even the most basic of corners. Cheers

[@Bertoventures]

I've been preaching the "Fibonacci" line for the longest time now. Finally someone else explains it. I feel reassured that I wasn't crazy all these years when the older people don't believe my line.

[@davidmann1871]

This is awesome, it takes Paradigm Shift to the next level. The big revelation for me is about how the car can turn more efficiently under braking. That is why you generally want to do a bit of a late apex. Thank you for putting the puzzle pieces together!

[@Tytan64]

I've learned a lot from your videos. Been working on applying and improving driving technique. Great job, appreciate the teachings.

[@simonjohnade]

Your skill in explaining is unmatched in my humble opinion, just amazing. Thank you.

Amazing video.. Great editing, smooth explanation, seriously, great vid!

[@jacohop]

Amazing lesson! The 9:40 to 13:40 graphical explanation really helps, especially for me, comparing wrong lines (I’m more familiar with those;)

[@mizoba]

i thought like this in karting for a long time, and tried to re learn a bit since it made me too agressive. Seeing this video makes me realize i was actually close to doing it right, + now i can adjust better since the visualisation made it that clear :D. Thanks a lot

[@TrailBlazer5280]

I just found your channel today and watched a coaching session with a driver, amazing. Honestly I love how you're breaking down the fundamentals, forcing simple practices and this MRP concept is so enlightening. When you break down rotation points per section and showed how if you don't hit the rotation point early, well, you still have to make the full turn so you're forced to make up for that rotation later in the turn and its going to screw you up.. that really clicked for me.

[@misteryerik333]

amazing video thank you suellio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pixelcultmedia4252]

I love this concept. How you rotate the car at the right time, is usually the magic trick behind taking a corner fast.

[@AlMTRN]

this video came out at a good time, ive been struggling so much with consistency and it seems worse than ever before. ill keep these techniques in mind next time I find myself in a practice session. consistency and composure are extremely important for fast lap times.

[@hugoantunesartwithblender]

Really great video!!! I actually realized the opening and closed spirals by my self, i noticed that when acelarating i had to take a larger circle than when breaking. Knowing that made my exuts a lot faster and with more control over the car

[@kronzomg]

Said it before and I’ll say it again, the only content creator that provides us with this level of technicality 👍🏻👍🏻

[@linolafettatnet]

I think it makes sense, thank you for sharing your reasoning on how you got to this point of not calling "apex".

Absolutely the best advice I’ve been given in sim racing. First run thinking about mrp each corner and I set my fastest time and qualified pole. Went on to win the race by 13 seconds. Was the most consistent I have ever driven, and it felt so intuitive when I actually thought about it how u explained. Again thank you suellio!

[@vkosarev91]

Awesome technique. I'll try out

[@ramseycattn5941]

Interesting way of describing it. This becomes less easy when multiple turns run together, and you must decide which corners to sacrifice for the setup and speed of the others. Sometimes you get a corner all by itself, but often you have to see it in the context of the rest of that sector.

[@theponycargarage1453]

This makes so much sense! I’m new to sim racing and going to sign up immediately.

Damn, this just made me realise why it's faster to late apex in a kart - because the lack of differential makes it hard to rotate on exit!

[@bencooper2637]

Ngl new to racing and this is rly helping my brain

[@wadeenyart9676]

I know there is more to it but in my language ((have raced regional IRL for 27 yrs) look a more efficent version of diamonding the corner, I mean you kinda changed the shape of the diamond. looking forward to working on this TY

[@r88522726]

Hi Suellio, it came up an idea to me after I read you books. I like to make it sure with you. Generally speaking, does the more oversteery car have an ealier MRP before an apex? Thanks.

[@bramgp8921]

HI Suellio, i just picked up iRacng a couple of days ago and I love it. I just have some questions: - How do I get out of my league, is it just playing a lot and get good results what brings me to the next league (rookie --> rang D) - Hlow do I know when I have locked up my wheels? Because in other games I could feel and hear it very clearly but I just can't feel it in iRacing. Is it a specific sound or can i see smoke in my mirros? Let me know if you can :) - I am racing in the mx5 cup series on the Rudskogen track and did a 1.34.388. Is this somewhat competetive or am I miles of pace? (in race I average around 1.34.5 +-0.2seconds) - Do you have some general quick tips besides your videos that are very usefull in iRacing? Not game changing ones like your videos, but some quick settings that are important"? Thanks in advance!

[@ysimracing]

So if I understand this correctly:point nose of the car for exit earliest possible without sacrificing speed right?

[@351kostakis]

Fantastic

[@therealforestelf]

finally some1 said it, it's not a circles, it's ellipses

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I think it would make more sense to just call it minimum speed point. In a sharp s-corner, the minimum speed point is near the middle of s but you're not turning maximally at that point because you're in progress of turning the wheels from one curve to another so you're actually going straight for a short moment. And yes, you should definitely call it something else but apex. I agree that apex should be the point where you go closest to inside of the track in corner.

[@xKairoZzZ]

thanks! Pls next video how to drive in wet conditions!

[@arekdbz3]

Funny thing. I did some world records in iracing and assetto corsa. I consitently did top 10 and top 5 lap times in general lap time board (like in the season). All of them in good track conditions. Once conditions are worse, I become inconsistent and I suck. That indicates that I am overheating the tires. But I am unble to figure out sometimes what am I doing wrong. I can do like giga lap on my lap 20-30 and then have 30 laps that suck xD I have trouble focusing lately and also I don't know what am I doing, it is mostly trial and error. I am learning all by myself.

[@smXXVI]

so if I'm understanding this right: the MRP is basically finding the optimal point to begin accelerating on exit?

[@Heymoss69]

Isnt the spirals at the start is very similar to the golden ratio?

[@daveshiroma]

[@ghislainbernard7546]

Me and 2 of my friends were doing that technique on Grand Tourismo PS2-3 to pass eachother in corners when one dove inside at the braking zone...

[@agboi1344]

Suelio, please help me. i got a G29 today and i decided to stop using the racing line when moving onto it, i also installed assetto corsa just to have a more immersing experience, however i have extreme difficulty finding braking points and in the hours i put in today i couldn't find any right braking points, i tried this when i was on controller and i had the same result but this time i don't want to give up, Suelio can you help me find my braking points? Please tell me is it a matter of practice or is there a technique that can help me?

[@SomnusMor]

i agree with how you described feeling like i need to accelerate more which in turn means the braking point was bad. i am conscious of this and do adjust myself accordingly but i struggle with remembering the information especially on courses with many turns and it takes me quite some time to memorize the most efficient braking zones unless im watching a guide for starting reference. Is there anyway you can explain why i have an initially fast first few laps but over time my splits increase? i chalked it up to lack of concentration but i was wondering if you had another explanation for it?

[@dielaughing73]

[@Kaneblade07]

Already subscribed but here's my comment!

[@BigidiBoom]

another common sense vid :D most important is to know how much u can turn ur wheel with a certain speed, before u spin out.

[@dubby_ow]

I think that Shanghai GP track turn 1 is the perfect example to show this concept

[@madmak_]

do you treat mrp as another point on the track to remember? Basically, I want to be in this place when I start to accelerate.

[@MrDanesorensen]

@SuellioAlmeida @SuellioAlmeida awesome! I'll do that, thanks! Btw, building my first ever rig right now. I've got all the parts except the pedals. Would you recommend I go with the P1000's with hydrolic brake and throttle (plus elastomer set), or the VNM's with damper and performance (elastomer) set? In either case I plan to get the simagic vibration motors (as I've heard they can be attached to the VNM's as well)? I was planning on going the P1000 route, but after hearing the guy from Boosted Media saying that the VNM's with add ons were his favorite pedals short of the active ones, I'm feeling a bit stuck. I'd love your opinion. Thanks!!

[@fatih_a]

Damn it, Gamechanger for me to know that I have do accelerate in late apex BEFORE hitting the apex

[@quatro_are_you]

o mais brabo, e tem gente que nem sabia que ele era br

[@mh7711]

This concept should be clear for everyone who has understanding for physic laws. but the difficulty is how fast you drive into the corner and how much you break at what point. Should I break with 50%, 75% or 100%? It depends on car, on weather and temperature of tires. this is so damn complex. I trained over 100 hours now but I still always loose my car, every 2-3 minutes at least. I cant feel the limit through the wheel if I am too fast for a curve or not. I have no feedback that tells me to break more or that I am too fast for the corner. 90% corner works, 10% the car flips out (and I cant save it) and I dont know why, cant feel the difference. Now after 50h I dont feel any improovement, no single 1% to be honest (after I know the track).

[@EzMoneyy]

I had an EPIPHANY when i heard you say "Where to PLACE your minimum speed in a corner" dude you're a great racing driver, but that's nothing compared to your ability to elaborate and explain this stuff.

Ross Bentley mentions this in a different way, to be honest, but its a good way of explaining it, the way you do it, Suellio. Ross talks about thinking where do you want to stop braking. As we drive in normal traffic, when stopping on a red light, we think about the place where we need to stop. Same approach in racing, you think about where you want to be when you stop braking.

And on oval asphalt racing same concept intey to tell these young drivers in realife that are over seiving the corners even on hige half mile ovals asphalt pf course and they have very fast great cars but they over drove so much they think the car is slow when in reality its thier driving all together. And what you get into a rhythm all becomes easy and you really got to think about it no more about where you on break and all that It just becomes a natural rhythm once you learn a track especially on oval you got to get into a certain rhythm hit your line and marks every single time
