THE HYPERCAR GUIDE PART 2 - Braking Basics Le Mans Ultimate

[@alexkayracing]

QUESTION: What's your favourite Hypercar?

[@Will-MakingSelfImprovementFun]

Probably the Cadillac

[@alexkayracing]

@@Will-MakingSelfImprovementFun nice choice! It’s really fast but the braking technique is really important for that one cos it’s so easy for it to snap during heavy braking

[@samueleoccoffer6654]

i'll go with the porsche penske

[@alexkayracing]

@@samueleoccoffer6654 nice man the Porsche is really fast in LMU as well!

[@AshokBiswas-hf2qp]

I will go with the Ferrari 499p

[@sitramaybe]

Love how complex these hypercars are. I play this with gamepad and it was such a blast and a challenge . They really cookin with this game right now.

[@alexkayracing]

They are so fun aren’t they! Especially when you do really long races where you have to plan your virtual energy etc!

[@tyrellmcswain]

i honestly love the BMW and the Ferrari. I’m strong and quick in both. But the Peugeot is fun just to mess around in. Plus it looks sick

[@alexkayracing]

Yeah it’s a really unique looking car, keen to see how the new one feels when it comes to LMU

[@Simongtt]

Great video, i dont driver Hypercars im a GTE guy, will look at applying techniques to that class.

[@alexkayracing]

They will definitely help you drive the GTE class faster as they also don’t have ABS. The engine braking technique is the same just probably not as fast as a Hypercar

[@Tomoyo4869]

Very helpful, thx!

[@alexkayracing]

No problem enjoy!

[@jps339]

These sparks are something else 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@alexkayracing]

Hahah permanent firework show!

[@markham6942]

So helpfull. Thnx ❤

[@alexkayracing]

Enjoy mate best of luck with your races!

[@markham6942]

@@alexkayracing thnx. See you on the grid 😃

[@alexkayracing]

@@markham6942 see you there!

[@marcorodrigues8968]

Great video, only feedback i have is no need to explain the really simple and basic stuff such as ABS and what locking up is, were all sim racers here so were coming with atleast basic background knowledge, cheers!

[@alexkayracing]

Thanks mate, honestly though you would be surprised how many people don’t know what this stuff is 😂 have to account for everyone I guess hahah

[@ajberry3358]

I’m one of these idiots and my grandfather still tried to teach it to me as a retired mechanic and amateur dirt and short track oval racer 😅

[@alexkayracing]

@@ajberry3358 ahaha you’re not an idiot mate, hopefully this did explain it for you 👍

[@marlix8099]

very well explained, thank you. How many hours did you play this game ?

[@alexkayracing]

Thank you Marlix, I have nearly 300 Hours played currently!

[@pierluigivinci6777]

Very good esplanation, just one question: what about brake force in car setup? IE how did you set it for the BMW?

[@alexkayracing]

It is hard at first but you really should get used to using 100% brake force in the hypercars (except maybe the Cadillac). You will have the cars maximum stopping power available this way

[@cr1pton1c]

question howd u get that steering wheel on the beamer, I hate this blocky looking thing I have.

[@alexkayracing]

Oh you mean the older steering wheel for the BMW? In car selection screen if you choose WEC 1 on the right side of the screen then it should give you the bmw with the older steering wheel

[@cr1pton1c]

@alexkayracing really?! thanks I'll make sure to try that out I'm more of a cosworth steering wheels enjoyer 😅

[@alexkayracing]

@ nice bro it’s still a cool looking wheel although I prefer the new one personally

[@cr1pton1c]

@alexkayracing both of them are good options thanks alot for the tip, u really came in handy hope to see u on the grid 🤙

[@Marcinek_Marcinek]

Please make next movie about lift and coast

[@alexkayracing]

Hey bro next episode is about brake bias/ brake migration

[@10mmGR]

Biggest thing for me is adjusting my braking points as they are about 10m earlier on lmu than on iracing

[@alexkayracing]

That can also be okay, in the example exercises were those braking points I gave about the same as for you in iRacing? If so then you are fine

[@10mmGR]

@@alexkayracing they are earlier than where I brake in iracing. That's what threw me off so much the first time I drove on lmu. Like for entry to le combes I brake just after the curb starts on the left in iracing

[@alexkayracing]

@@10mmGR yeah that’s extremely late for a braking point, I think even an alien driver wouldn’t be braking there for Le Combes. Just one of the different between the two sims I guess

[@10mmGR]

@@alexkayracing lol yeah I would spin the car on entry every time in lmu trying that. Eventually my stupid self finally realized it's a different sim maybe the braking points are different. Took me about 6 more laps slowly backing up the braking point to get it right

[@alexkayracing]

@@10mmGR yeah there’s quite a few differences between the hypercars on LMU compared to the GTP, especially the low amount of grip you have in slow corners in LMU and the way the battery deployment works compared to iRacing.

[@AshokBiswas-hf2qp]

Bro when are tou doing guides of lmp2 and gte

[@alexkayracing]

You can take the lessons from here and apply them to the lmp2/gte, they are basically the same just with less/more severity in braking etc :)

[@FL981S]

The ultimate lesson is dont be scared o go to 1st gear in HY cars.

[@alexkayracing]

Yeah first gear is important especially in those slow hairpins

[@wolfherold657]

nice. Most ACC Gamers don't know hou to brake a car, because there, they only learned to "STOMP" as hard as you can. That has nothing to do with real life. Now they have to learn how to drive a car correctly. =D

[@alexkayracing]

You can definitely see the difference. I’m currently reviewing the Moza R5 wheelbase and the pedals are not loadcell. In ACC I can use them okay, but in LMU I just keep locking up everywhere cos I have no resistance in the brake pedal .

[@wolfherold657]

@@alexkayracing exact. Because in ACC you can use a button for breaking. No pedals needed. on / off is enough.

[@taylorconway3176]

I feel this comment in my bones. I’m an ACC guy and bought LMU today. I am watching this vid for a reason 😅

[@hollywoodkid9195]

So I get what you’re teaching here, but the Anti lock Brakes is something we can switch off. Some races have that turned off and have us solely rely on skill. So it’s not that they don’t have ABS which they do, but it’s a function we can toggle on or off, preferably off for practice.

[@alexkayracing]

Hey mate, these cars do not have an ABS system in real life. ABS assist is in the game the same thing as the ABS assist is available in the F1 games. It’s an arcade assist to help more casual players enjoy the game in beginner races and single player. In higher level races (intermediate/weekly/advanced/etc.) the ABS assist is not allowed and cannot be turned on. Therefore it’s imperative that anyone who wants to drive these cars well will need to learn the techniques covered in this video. However that being said, when the GT3 car class releases in the game later this year; those cars do feature an actual ABS system in real life and hence will feature a “non-arcade” version of the assist in game too.

[@hollywoodkid9195]

@@alexkayracing I know they don’t have ABS. Funny thing is whenever I look at those advanced servers that don’t allow ABS on hypercars and LMP2, they are basically empty. It’s hard to get into those servers bcuz most of those so called “ pro “ sim guys, keep relying on ABS.

[@alexkayracing]

@@hollywoodkid9195 ​​⁠ I think it’s more that the advanced races are a very long time apart from eachother that is the issue. They are also open setup so beginners who don’t know much about car setups might not want to enter those races. The weekly and special events however are definitely where it’s at. Longer 1-2 hour races with big multiclass grids; always fun
