@@filipprucnal i've found that to truly have the smoothest surface, and to be the fastest that you don't even need to use the tires. You just roll the car over and slide around on the car's roof every corner and for every braking zone to ensure the maximum smoothest surface, and for the most surface contact as possible. I've always wondered why nobody has really done that more especially in Formula 1, but clearly it's just because they don't have roofs in Formula 1, not to mention the aerodynamics would get messed up upside down... yeah that's probably the only real problem would be the aerodynamics, they probably removed the roofs for weight reduction bro, since sliding upside down wouldn't provide downforce. Although i believe in theory.... Now don't go telling a lot of people about this, cause it's like top secret yo.... But i believe that if you were to slide upside fast enough that the roof of the car would get welded to the ground, providing more grip than anything downforce would be able to achieve cause it would literally be like the car is on rails.

As far as picking the right apex, I have to say (if at the risk of sounding obnoxious and full of myself) that he only confirmed my approach to taking corners. That being said, it is a whole different story when you have to take the camber of the corner into consideration, especially when the conditions are not dry/ideal. This is where I could use all the advice available ... This is where grip/tire choice take second place to suspension/set up of the car ...

Such an amazing video. It's nice to be able to hear from you about these little technical things. I just drive in Gran Turismo because I don't have money or resources in my life to drive a real rally car; too many other interests, like dirt bikes :) But you know, these tips help out in lots of situations that aren't all on the track. For example, I use my knowledge of racing lines to make getting on the freeway easier when there's a short onramp... If you late apex the corner, you can really give it a lot of throttle on the exit and if there are potholes or whatever on the exit, you can let off the throttle a little bit and take a wider line. If you take an early apex or a traditional line, you end up going really slow and also end up right on the bumper of the car in front of you, which sucks when you need to merge.

One issue is that I find that no one from instructional schools and manuals from cars to motorcycles differentiates or explains about the geographical Apex versus the racing Apex, whether that is early traditional or late. This is important because it confuses a lot of people. The geographical Apex of a corner could never be moved it is where it is. it's located at the highest point of the radii. In most instances a corners Apex(s) will be determined by the radius; both the length and the arc. And also how many geographical apex's exist in a corner. I.E. single Apex, double Apex, triple Apex, Etc. Another consideration with regard to the racing late Apex line is that it requires more steering input. So I find that for beginners and sometimes even intermediate drivers and riders, it can actually be less productive unless they start practicing at slower speeds. Of course in a car, it is more forgiving with four wheels. Bottom line is being smooth with inputs to the steering braking and acceleration of the vehicle is crucial... smooth=fast 👌
@Teamoneilrally5 жыл бұрын
The actual geographical apex of a corner is a constant, absolutely correct. We have it easy here at Rally School because we have full time instructors in the cars all the time, so our classroom sessions are pretty quick and the real training happens behind the wheel. It's pretty easy to feel out what a driver needs to hear and how they need to hear it, everyone needs it explained a little differently, you know how it goes. It must be really tough training motorcycles, unless you have some kind of comms in helmets and instructors for each rider and all that. As far as training lines VS skills, again you're correct. We start with a bunch of basic left foot braking and skid control exercises before we talk lines and apexes. Again, on a street bike on a track, teaching skid control must be a pretty tough sport.

the one advantage of early apexing is that you brake into your slide earlier, which means you can get prepared for exiting the turn earlier, and you will be facing center apex because you've already started spinning. If you late apex and oversteer, you can go into a 360, but with early apexing you will just go sideways.

You can always say I could've taken it faster but you may only get one Oh no. The faster you go the harder it gets to initiate the start of the turn. At some point you've gone ballistic and just won't want to turn in. A man's got to know his limitations. That's why turning early feels safe as you dive for the apex all loaded up and asking the car to do everything at once. The late apex feels like you're late for the bus and if you didn't check up a little you might be. You have to feel the car turning and the weight passing from the front to the seat to the rear. Now you might oversteer but you shouldn't push the front. Any bit of sand water leaves or change in banking can greatly affect grip. Motorcycles are especially intolerant of mistakes. It's a lot like slalom skiing or comes where aiming for the gate makes you late for the next one. They taught the wider entry and stay tight to the back of the gate so you're early for the next one. You'll be smooth but not fast then work on where you can find speed once you're making it through the whole course.

Wonderful, wonderful videos! I'm a complete novice with a very novice question, lol. In my simple little monkey brain, why does the late apex line (if done perfectly) seem to be theoretically faster than the traditional racing line? I know I must be wrong on this, but just bear with me because I'm trying to understand all of this in a very short period of time haha. I understand that a traditional line carries in more speed, but wouldn't that be negated by the other opportunities that late apexing provide; like braking much later in a more straight line before turning in, less overall time spent turning the wheel (albeit a harsher input for late apexing) and much faster corner exiting, due to how it 'straight-lines' the corner? Once again, I'm not arguing, as decades of race craft couldn't be wrong, but could someone help me figure out where my mistake in thinking is and how to better understand all this balancing?

When miss judging the corner and having too much speed for a late apex(or no apex at all), i think it's better to hug the inside for an early apex as it provides the extra distance for a longer braking zone. Note that this (sometimes) happens on normal roads where the car was pushed only to 60-70% of it's grip capabilities. Can anyone share his experience of when the car was at it's grip limits in a corner that was miscalculated?
@Denverian5 жыл бұрын
well, when you notice you are coming too hot to an apex, you know it because your car is already on an understeer condition - i.e. your car can't steer in anymore. In this situation, your turning radius increases and overshoots the apex. The only solutions are to overshoot if situation permits, or hard brake with an anticipation that an oversteer or crash will follow. IF you could steer in more to hug the apex, you were not coming too hot at all. This is exactly why the guy in the video is saying that traditional max in/max out won't work in real life, especially for rally situations, and hence it's better to do late apecies. Now, if you are late to a late apex, the only safe option is to maximize the brake, keep the straight course until speed is reduced enough to clear the corner. It's always the best to avoid any accidents than trying to save some milliseconds.
@Denverian5 жыл бұрын
due to my car's setup (stock + bad tire), I often run into an understeer situation in windy roads. I have BRZ which is a well balanced cornering machine, so I often let it happen because my car will auto correct it with a slight brake and catch back to the corner. If I were in other cars, I will simply not let the understeer happen in windy roads as that's very dangerous. Simply put, I will never try to explore my car's limit in windy roads unless I'm driving cars like BRZ or other well balanced tuned cars.

Ok, the 90 & 180 degree turns aren't too bad. Where I lose knowledge of cornering particularly is something beyond that. A 270 degree turn, or even a 360 degree turn where the course or track changes elevation enough that you pass underneath where you were, or where the corner is big enough that you can complete a turn like that without crossing where you last were (so essentially a spiral, so to speak). That, and super long sweeping corners that still turn 180+ degrees. Hard for me to visualize apex and know how to hit such large curves correctly. Anyone able to help out on those? 270+ degree turns and long sweeping 180+ turns?

If you do a track day, you'll see the same 10 corners 100 times. If you do a rally, you'll see 1000 corners one time each. You'll see rally drivers late apex A LOT because we might know it's a "Left 4" but it could be a little slippery, off-camber, downhill, rough, we don't have all the information so we need to keep a little change in our pocket. The traditional racing line is faster if you know the corner perfectly, but if you try to use that line on every corner of a rally you'll probably be in the woods in the first few miles.
