Tommy Milner - Corvette Racing - Driver's POV - NOLA Motorsports Park

[@carlos64030]

Jesus... I could listen to this forever!

[@stevefrench4139]

Good luck at Daytona this weekend, I'll be rooting for you guys!

[@TommyMilner]

Kristian - I RFB because that method uses less fuel and lessens the wear on the which are two crucial items for our endurance races.

[@grafworks6621]

Right foot braking ;)

[@grafworks6621]

Probably in traffic or at night I imagine, but any circumstance can merit the need for LFB...I think Tommy's point was that in most situations he tries to RFB for the stated reason :)

[@WERT2025]

The question I was searching answer for

[@Vortex001_MLG]

It lessens wear on the clutch or brake?

[@Jietse]

Hey Tommy, really nice to see you made it to such a succesful GT racer. A long time ago we did some simraces together in rFactor, also with Sean Edwards when he was still around ... :( I hope you are doing fine. Grts

[@TommyMilner]

Cheers bud - I remember it well. I'm still sim racing every now and then.

[@carscoffeeandcannabis-634]

+Tommy Milner Wow, great to see a sim racer get out there. How well do you think sim racing helped prepare you for the read deal? I know there are differences, and simulations will never truly train you, but I am very curious on the impact it made

[@ZondaF355]

This is excellent! Please bring us as much of this footage as possible. Greatly appreciated and useful to analysis for racing.

[@CenturionC4]

Looks like fun Tommy. You do have the best J O B in the world

[@horizonandsky8989]

More Corvette gets never, really awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love Chevrolet Corvette!!!!!

[@horizonandsky8989]

A really Dream Drive.

[@baptisteviala8898]

I noticed that there is a clutch pedal but it is not needed with the gearbox that you have. What is it for? Thanks

[@666unnamedfreak666]

The clutch is just for getting away from pit-stops.

[@ryomaprime3130]

Nice drive Milner, and btw, can you share us the difference when you driving C7R and C6R?

[@philpreston8658]

Nice video....but where was the camera? On your chin?

[@packer492]

Awesome!!!

[@iRacerJared]

I'm trying to get proper seating position in my simulator. Is the seat higher then the pedal deck or on the same plain? Also it seems your legs just slip by the dash and steering colum how high would you say the steering wheel is? If you drew a line from the middle of the wheel to your body would it hit you in the chest, kneck, or face? Is the steering wheel straight-on or angled a bit? Lastly is the fixed back seat mounted on an angle back or level? Thanks and great video!

[@GamerExtremeBrasil]

OMG ! This is awesome !

[@666unnamedfreak666]

***** Great footage, I really love these helmet cam videos from you. I do suppose that the view is quite a bit lower than what you actually see. Is it also possible for you to upload a photo of what you normally see (eye-height picture). Would be great to see how hard/easy it is for you guys view-wise.

[@TommyMilner]

I tried something different this time. It is lower than what I see. Some of my other in-car videos have the camera just above my eye line and give a pretty good angle of what I see.

[@666unnamedfreak666]

***** Thanks for the reply. I watched the videos a lot before and I did notice it in the Daytona one uploaded by Drive. The vids are really amazing, keep them coming. Best of luck for the next season ;)

[@hkoxia]

yeah bit lower but great video...cant wait to see those babies on track in action....1 month to Daytona24H ?

[@loginavoidence12]

i always use my left foot to brake on paddle shift transmissions i thought everyone else did too?

[@shanefreese3398]

***** Thanks for the videos, keep them coming.

[@frogger167ify]

did you just floored the gas/brake pedal all the time when use it?

[@count_chocula5851]

Muhammad Safie keeps the front tires loaded, in scenarios where understeer is creeping on

[@griffinresnick7307]

How is this driver supposed to check his blind spot in this car especially with the mirrors not pointed that far out? I assume the blind spot would be a big problem in racing and with a car with such low visibility

[@TheriusO94]

F1-style steering wheel

[@mackavila3031]

wish I had this setup for everyday driving

[@wyattroberts8210]

Mack Avila haha same

[@__Uzer_11111__]

Why The left leg does not work !!!?

[@bb3xhrhj]

What is the reasoning behind right foot braking? I'm sure there are a lot of pros and cons to right foot braking, but why do you still right foot brake in cars that doesn't require it?

[@jensonhartmann3630]

Left foot braking is useful for "trail braking" . It is a controlled way of rotating the car in the center of a turn, by dragging the brake slightly, while still maintaining throttle input

[@raymondchapman5990]

Right foot braking saves fuel, which in endurance racing is crucial. It also puts less use/wear on the brakes which is another crucial element in endurance racing. Left foot braking has the advantage of being able to trail brake which can help the car turn/rotate. You can also get a little quicker lap time using left foot but endurance racing is about strategy...saving fuel, and saving brakes.

[@jamiereid3271]

Do these cars have a clutch? It doesn't seem like he ever depresses the pedal to.change gear

[@benn454]

They have a sequential gearbox. You only need the clutch to stop and pull away from the pits.

[@TheEndlessGhost]

why you have 3 pedals?

[@Charlie-pb4ky]

Tim Müller ABC dude- accelerate Brake and Clutch, he didn't need to use clutch unless pulling away.

[@Z06phile]

KZbin timing= 1:34. That is moving!!!

[@niklasesser]

Why don't you use your left foot for braking ?

[@aquaspire7671]

He replied a comment a few years ago about it, it's because right foot braking saves fuel and tires, while left foot is just slightly quicker

[@pizzasubs]

what was being shown on the cars Monitor at the beginning, looked like a camera poing at the front of another corvette but what camera????? Oh Yeah the car has a rear camera on it and we were looking at another corvette behind him.....also noticed that Corvette has an automatic transmission, unless he is press down on the clutch So fast that I cant even see him doing it, No I did see him actually press down on the Clutch when he entered the Pits

[@NickG40]

Not an automatic, but he doesn't have to use the clutch to change gear.

[@jonrobertson2269]

Andrew Silva The other Corvette in the monitor screen is probably the #3 C7.R, teammates with Tommy's #4. You can hear it idling at the beginning of the video.

[@jensonhartmann3630]

The car has a real time radar sensor, and an arrow will appear over vehicles approaching from the rear, very useful at night when they tend to drive with high beams on, it floods the cameras lens, helping point out where the opposition is located

[@ksapp2622]

DRIVERS EYE IS NOT MIDDLE OF CHEST

[@Stealthcola]

Dream job

[@davebrunette6394]

😎🤘☠️

[@Purplesector77]

Racing with one foot? Or is that a clutch?

[@jensonhartmann3630]

The camera is pointed towards the driver. From left to right, gas, brake, clutch. The car is still manually shifted with paddles on the back of the steering wheel, the clutch is mainly used for stop-go (pit stops)

[@chron2703]

tommy you are really short how can you see over the wheel

[@at5mics]

Ahhh, an RFB'er...interesting.

[@wyattroberts8210]
