TL;DW - If you're not in control, you're not going to improve.

"If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough".... Bullshit except if your name is Mario Andretti or any other similar level alien. For everybody else, watch the video.
Requested in chat, we demonstrate how important it is to stay in control, stay comfortable and improve your speed step by step. When you're pushing too much too early, you're simply going to get slower and frustrated.
Don't try to go as fast as others, but try to improve yourself gradually.

I will now forever recite, into every turn.... 'Brake... Coast... Accelerate". Thanks for this Aris. It actually helps to recite this to help build good habits. Love you videos, mate. Keep them coming!

[@RonaldRegain]

Glad in CP Races people understand Slow In Fast Out is key

[@rayc3253]

This is the way.....

[@pauloviegasmotorsport]

Thank you very much for your help Aris. Your phrase says it all "... stay in control, stay comfortable and improve your speed step by step. When you're pushing too much too early, you're simply going to get slower and frustrated. Don't try to go as fast as others, but try to improve yourself gradually. " Keep it coming...

[@dopecutza]

Thanks a lot for this. I have heard many times that slower is faster but this is the first explanation of that concept that I understand!

[@yerrie1908]

hitting apex and early on the gass is most important, many people concentrate on late braking and have bad exit speeds

[@yerrie1908]

I was always faster in race then in practice and qualify because I was overdriving, my fastest laps were always in the race were you drive with margin at 90 to 95%

[@yerrie1908]

I became much faster because of Iracing, enforcing track limits all the time made me much more consistent and therefore also much faster, stay on the track, keep lapping keep improving, when you make a lot of laps with consistent times you also start noticing setup changes, people are now working on their setup and they can’t drive 3 laps within a second, thats useless, if you can’t drive within a couple of tenth’s lap after lap you will never be able to do proper adjustments to setup

[@SkateGeneva]

"brake, coast, accelerate" this is now engraved into my brain, thank you Aristotelis

[@ryomaprime3130]

They just get affected by those F1 maneuvers which is ultimate late braking but without any idea of the braking point of full fuel or bad tyres situation or even the rainy session. The best of driving is always knowing the limit of the car and driver himself, thumbs up for Aris 👍 👍

Aris, you should do a video or a series of videos on just tips on how be faster, you seem to be the guy that better can express his knowledge for newbies

Also, what are your view settings? I like how you see almost all the track

[@ArisDrives]

Thank you! Actually I have and of course still will be doing. Check out this playlist and I believe you'll find many information on how to get faster kzbin.info/aero/PLOo3YiGzVthAR7piYqmUHAb-hCTwTHSn7

[@simewn]

After laps upon laps upon laps that I was over 1:30 I followed the guide and withing 5 laps I easily reached 1:29. Not only that, I now understand more to enjoy driving and learning new tracks. Also, now I understand the rating system of ACC and enjoy getting those 3 stars. Thanks!

[@paolostrada93]

This is the single most useful sim racing tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks so much!

[@tomtabone7949]

Not only do your videos help improve my driving it also shows how realistic and acurate ACC is.Great information!!

[@UncleCoop]

You're Amazing, I've been thinking about just driving slow around the track without using brakes to learn the line. Then adding brakes later. You showed me how to use both at the same time so it still feels like I'm driving instead of sightseeing. Lol

[@thefaredevil]

Aris, you are a national treasure man! No BS, no-nonsense, straight to the point in simple words with great visual examples. This channel has the richest content for any sim racer out there. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated man. Thank you for genuinely being helpful!

[@TheMaxibonzGaming]

[@erikrainieri1772]

Questo tipo di consigli non è per nulla facile da trovare. Grazie mille Aris, sei un figo!

[@tylerwhite7162]

This video helped so much. I was able to drive much more consistently and actually know what it feels like to be in control during cornering. I also was able to shave 2 seconds off of my pb. Thank you for your advice!

[@darkblueturbo]

Yes sensei!! Wow. I need to keep this in mind. I was hammering Brands last night, trying to trail brake right up to the apex and having all sorts of oversteer and corrections and was pleased when I was touching 1:29. And you just causally knock out a 1:29. I will try to keep myself calm and break sooner and build up.

[@scanzeee158]

I always struggled to get a decent laptime on Brands. After i watched your video I was 1.5 seconds faster on the second lap, . getting low 1.25s now. Still room for improvement. Thanks for that!

[@rabihhawwa1970]

Thank you for doing these shorter versions. I love watching your videos but don't have the time for the full thing.

[@MntRprznt]

Great channel Aris. I'm watching a different vid a day and trying to get your knowledge to sink in slowly.

[@revolverocelot3741]

Thats actually great advice and looks so much smoother than trailbraking everycorner at the absolute limit

[@josecalvo9730]

Great so great advices, those things are "well known" if you drive in the real life in a circuit, obviously if you dont know the circuit, you go "scared shit" cause if you go long say good by your car, your money... And maybe could be dangerously, but the people ( me included) i dont know why, we forget this and we want to build the house from the roof.. If we start the first lap too fast and go long, crashing etc, we simply restart the lap and did happen nothing... And never we gonna find the confort pace cause we dont go to learn progressively like you well say

[@mcgrup]

Thank you this video was very helpful with cornering.

[@tristandoran601]

That’s crazy. This is really going to help me, after years of non proper sim driving I clearly picked up terrible habits with F1, GT and Forza games.

[@untrainedprofessionals2374]

This is the best and easiest driving tip. It is very hard to learn when you are already at your outter limit. We tell this ro new guys at rider track days. We would tell them thay were to busy trying not to crash to understand what to do.

[@coxyofnewp]

I need to try this - I'm struggling for a quite a long time now, tried every technique, not sure what I'm doing wrong, racing lines, braking points etc... so now I'll try go slower to get faster :)

Awesome video, as usual your videos are number 1. Thank you. Will there ever be the option to race leaderboard cars, like i would really like to race top 10 drivers on leaderboards, i find this gets me quicker too or even better to have the option to view there replays? Id love to race the ghosts of other racers.

[@seebarry4068]

I have noticed on my cool down lap I’m still very close in time to my race pace, but my driving is much more chill then.

[@abc_def-55]

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. :)

[@EdumastaDMBC]

It just looks so damn easy when you do it... my issue seems to still be not knowing the braking points and apex of each turn of at least one track :O

[@ArisDrives]

Go slow and choose your braking reference points. Watch my other videos when I do "circuit walks". Circuit driving is all about reference points. Insist and you'll get it right

[@Zoro__13]

Amazing tips aris, any advice for a beginner? I’m slowly learning everything, but there’s a major advice you wish you knew when you started ? Thank

[@yerrie1908]

that would be my unwanted advice to everyone, first you have to be consistent and be able to drive lap after lap within a couple of tenth’s, tweeking setup should be last on youre list, if you can’t drive consistent you whon’t be able obviously to notice small setup changes

[@ArchOfficial]

I would advise to forget the coasting stuff because it will be very detrimental in the long run. I don't think a proper steering technique development can happen if the driver does not learn to use maintenance throttle to balance the car for mid-corner and track-out. What worked for a lot of beginners I've taught is slow driving with very soft inputs, but consistent and smooth inputs. That includes making the car track a proper wide arc with the steering (Almost everyone turns in too early, too much, author of the video included) and timing the pedals correctly to the steering. Mid-corner steering doesn't move and the car is balanced with slight throttle. As soon as you commit on the throttle, you unwind steering. As soon as you start letting off the brake, you wind in steering. You should be able to accomplish this at any pace, even at legal roadspeeds. Everyone I taught was able to intuitively carry more speed in and out because the potential for car limit was much higher and the driver was working with the car, not against it.

[@mikesalas1990]

Just found this video, not sure if you or anyone is going to see this and answer but; what you're also saying is FFB for a wheel that jerks the wheel kind of mid corner or wherever to simulate bumps is not a good thing? I'll look up if you've uploaded A FFB Guide 💯

[@djuro14]

My fastest practice laps are always early laps. I think lots of people over cook it trying to go faster.

[@qbertrtrtg]

for the longest time I thought coasting was bad, I head somewhere you are either on brakes or accelerator but that is so wrong

[@MarkNOTW]

Same here

[@timothyinniger8245]

But... mount panorama bathurst is a bit of a different story because its not a normal track. Depending on the car going up the Hill Or down the Hill is going to be sketchy

[@yerrie1908]

the right advise is to not concentrate on your setup, people are slow because of their driving not because of the setup, once you are properly good you can start changing setup and when that done it’s very simple according to some called Max who says hit you’re braking point and hit the apex

[@truejayoh]

How do you get the slip angle if you coast so much?

[@schuldiner6]

Tried to apply this on a track where I'm very slow..nurburgring I can't to beat the wall of 2:00 with all car. And then now my laptime is 2:06...so maybe better for me to change sport... :D

[@santiagodamelio1013]

How long have you been simracing?

[@ArisDrives]

Don't change! Have fun and keep on practicing. I've been simracing and actively developing sims for more than 20 years and I'm still learning!

[@EdumastaDMBC]

Or change car... I had issues with Mercedes, Aston Martin, then Audi was feeling better and then McLaren... after 4 laps in 1:59 as the car feels so good and precise and smooth. Just try to find a car that suits you better in basic setup!

@@ArisDrives I keep on praticing last night and I was able to reach a 1.58.9, I can't reach this result every lap but very hard for me. Very funny to watch you on the Ferrari setup video when you say: "not to impressive so slow..." and you hit a 1.56 lap time and in the meanwhile you talk and maybe take coffee :D. This push me to do well but at the same time a liitle bit frustating

[@jimlansa7098]

aris, you are teaching that you need to coast in the turn but isn't better to trail brake?

[@StephenDeTomasi]

Correct, trail braking is faster. However you can be more consistent by coasting as it is easier

Is this just GT3 specific or does this also work for open wheelers?
