great job! I just got an R5 that I will probably end up mounting on my desk. What's a good sim racing game for newbies? I kinda want to do some porsche league, Kart racing and maybe a little bit of dirt rally.

[@MMoura58]

Im definitely have a open wheeler mind, i have very aggressive inputs, i turn in immediately in corners, i do a lot of trail braking, and of course, i sometimes forget im driving a heavy car like a GT3 instead of driving a car with bunch of downforce and that feels like a feather.

[@Horneycorn]

Funny, I'm exactly the other way around. Much more subtle inputs and take more time between inputs to give the car time to settle in. It's quite noticeable bc in an open wheeler with more downforce I'm just too slow input wise and that heavily translates into bad lines and bad lap times. This video is really spot on!

[@MMoura58]

@@Horneycorn yeah if i tried doing all that in a GT I'd get very bad lap times and pretty much wouldn't finish ahead of P7 or so 😂 I have been training more my GT skills, I'm already pretty good at open wheelers.

[@heroichitsuji]

As someone who started on a touge in a car then started casually karting, it did indeed take me a few races to realize I was far over utilizing the brakes with the idea that harder braking was faster. It wasn’t until the following races that I realized I hardly had to use them at all. This indoor track happens to be very friendly to lift off oversteer, something that felt very natural in the kart. Shaved off many seconds once I realized that.

[@Rhythmic_Hammer]

I’m only half way through the video, but man, Suellio, you are an absolute gift that keeps giving. Thank you so much. I have no problem understanding things because you’re quite clearly a bloody good teacher. Love how profound yet concise your videos are. No fluff! Love it! 💪👊

[@JosephManibusan]

I NEVER comment but felt like I had to. Suelio the openness, cross-domain-referencing, and willingness to experiment you exhibit alone are enough to eventually make you a top performer in anything you decide to focus on. I’m not a competitive racer but I do drive on track for fun and spend lots of time in simulators and your ability to explain differences and what advantages and disadvantages those differences create is really something special. Keep it up, please!

[@wiegraf9009]

Nice tips, thanks! Don't forget that most people will actually learn to drive on highly understeery road cars that give almost zero feedback to the driver and will never be taught anything about trail braking or weight transfer! It took me YEARS of driving to actually understand these concepts since modern cars do everything possible to make them invisible!

[@paulgogos9199]

The entire concept of coasting and avoiding it is a game changer for me, thanks for putting this together!

[@dbap5293]

As I’ve discovered from watching etiquette and rule videos is that I very much raise hell praise dale and set out to pass everyone as fast as possible and was 100% comfortable pit maneuvering someone to pass them if necessary, also blocking anyone from passing at all times

[@MrLeft-FootBraker]

Honestly, i will never get tired of performance driving techniques videos. Thanks! 👌👍

[@jgbalves]

A point about the braking percentage: In porsche cup cars, analyzing real car data, it's a mix between two games. You need to reach high pressures (90-100%) as ACC, but need to smooth release as iracing.

[@chrisc3825]

Wow. I voted on that survey and said I had no idea what type of style I had. I'm still not positive, but I'm thinking I developed open wheeler habits back in like F1 2017 that are plaguing me in GT3 cars now. Thanks as always!

[@tavo.simracing]

haha i got my start in touring cars that you needed to be able to pitch the nose into the corner with the brake to induce that rotation and commit to power on exit. to this day with 1,000s of hours and miles across multiple sims this is still the fastest way for me to drive.

[@accusingshark4375]

I just wanted to comment to say, thank you, Suellio. It’s my dream to hopefully become a racing driver one day, and I’ve been struggling for so many years with my driving. I have absolutely no childhood racing background, but I got hooked on racing and started with games and then gradually moved into more sim-based games. I’ve also started taking real life karting classes whenever I get the chance. I’ve almost always been slow and inconsistent in my driving with very little improvement, it made me doubt myself extremely. I always kept wondering if I was even good enough for this or if I should just give up the dream of racing. Just watching two videos from you and remembering lessons from my karting coach have already destroyed the idea of me giving up. Your videos have assured me that it is more than possible for me, with just endless practice and dedication. You’ve given me the idea to look at and improve places I would never have even thought to have looked. I’m going to keep using these videos and tips from now on and work endlessly on my driving until my dream becomes real. Thank you so much for these videos! You are an absolute inspiration. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll see you on-track somewhere, hopefully with me behind the wheel as well.

Wow great tips here! He reminds me of some of the professional Tennis coaches I've worked with when I played tennis in High School. "I don't believe in NATURAL TALENT." "It comes from practice, learning proper techniques, your life experiences and pushing your self." I'm a completely new the sim racing. I did play quite a bit of Gran Turismo on PS1 and PS2 etc. I've been karting several times and did really well. Noticed braking helped turn the Go Kart quite a bit especially on a outside track where the speeds are higher and turning could lead to a spin out. Just needed to use more of the track and stay relaxed to get better lap times.

Hey Suellio I have to thank you because I did quit a loot of times iracing for beeing frustrated I'm simracing since 2016 and my driving was adapted to f1 cars the reason was because I always race on leagues of that kind on Assetto, Rfactor but now after have patient training and expose myself to a new knowledge I did get 1400 irating in 3 weeks and Im on 2700 and I think that will rise a loot more because thanks to you I know that the hard work is what really matters I did train a loot but with blind laps for example 2000 laps before a week without any progress and know the reason on my slowness is key to get better so again thank you for all

[@st-ongevincent4701]

Dude thank you so much, I come from rally racing and had huge issues with oversteering in gt3 cars on track. Just watching this video helped me correct my breaking technique immediately and shaved another 7sec on the nurb Bless you my guy

[@SuellioAlmeida]

Congrats man!!

[@FronezGez3592]

with the sim racing one it is so true that we tend to focus alot on the front tires. I was just doing some laps on usui pass on AC the other day and i was trying to get a faster lap. I was thinking of ways to improve and decided im going to slide the rears out and focus on them instead of the front tires and as soon as i did this i easily smashed my fastest lap in it by over 3 second. Now seeing this video its a really good video and i hope it can help me progress one day into being a better driver! Great video man really enjoyed it and felt that passion and effort you put in!!!

[@anamarte9859]

This video made me remember that I started sim racing on nascar heat 5

[@phantazy5716]

I’ve been doing a lot of spa gt3 racing lately and I’m typically just driving touge and the braking far ito turn and getting on gas was something I noticed right away the difference it makes in the turn

[@TheCrazyCarLady]

Such a good video, really good information provided. Subbed for the future! 😁

[@angryginger791]

I feel like I should take notes whenever I watch these videos because they give me so many things to think about. Also, the story about Alana reminds me of something I do to help with my car control. Whenever I feel like I'm driving tense, death-gripping the wheel, and struggling to find that neutral steer zone, I go drive a rallycross car for a little while. When I feel good in that, I go back to the car I struggled in. Suddenly, I'm much more relaxed. I start rotating the car more aggressively, inducing a little oversteer to quickly find the neutral balance point. Since I am now anticipating the oversteer, it's much easier to control with confidence. Those little dirt sessions are a great way to get warmed up.

[@kathrynhenry5479]

Omg this is crazy accurate to my experience, I did a lot of karting as a kid, did some drifting and offroad over the years and picking up acc as a sim I had huge issues with the amount of steering I needed to use. It was so uncomfortable to get used to, and even now I still have to remind myself to do more work on the brakes than steering with the throttle

[@e2rqey]

I'd love to see you do a video about more of the differences between the most popular racing sims, AC, ACC, iRacing, Automobilista 2, Rfactor2..etc. As well as well as which ones you think accurately simulate driving the best and the worst.

[@GiosSimCorner]

I just started sim racing a year 1/2 ago. My biggest problem is over driving the car pushing it past its limit. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race.

[@AleksandrRudiak]

i came to simracing from simdrifting and when you posted story in insta with snap oversteer on purpose saying it would be hard it wasn't hard for me ahah, but the only profitable skill from drifting is saving big slides or pushing car into the corner sideways, doing 360s without getting into the wall when being snapped hard and other things that helps me to navigate the car being in the unhealthy slide, but i wish i wouldn't get in this type of situations:D

[@colincampbell3837]

Damn, I always just assumed driving style was just something that you had a natural preference for, not something that was molded by racing experience. I remember my first real experiences with sim racing were F12021 and F122. Considering how slippery 22 was, I think it made me adopt a smoother style and that's probably why I use oversteery set ups nowadays in the actual sims.

[@emiliolaurenti5199]

Man this was a great video I can’t do karting but hey this definitely helped great video!

[@SuellioAlmeida]

[@GingerEazyE]

This video was awesome. Now my struggling in F1 22 makes sense. I used to play hours upon hours of drifting in Forza Motorsport 4 and fort 2 and 3 on my wheel and this video helped me realize I gotta drastically change my approach for that discipline of racing

[@WorldHello-ne8mn]

thx suellio, recently I have been getting frustrated with braking and getting grip which i am driving formula student cars. after watching this video, I know more ways to solve this and try to slide like karts and learn neutral steering and the brake releasing techniques you mentioned. (p.s. I have always knew I struggle a lot in GT cars while being comfortable in high downforce good frontend formula cars and four stroke karts, but i didnt know why until now)

[@LordofDestruction123]

The thing about the dirt oval driver is rather neat! I particularly enjoy drifting in sims and games. I have a friend I race with who does not. I managed to convince him to spend some time racing me on dirt track in an NSX. Totally absurd, but it worked. We were in an online rally championship, and the exercise massively improved his pace, regardless of what surface we were on.

[@erwor]

This is amazing ❤

[@petermaardananders6803]

Hi coach, my first experience was as an ""extreme"" roller skater. First I was a Vertical/ Halfpipe skater at 17 yo. Did speed r-skating events on roads too, and even did 8 laps on the old Zandvoort track in 1983, man that was hard. That tarmac was too coarse/ rough surface for roller skating, and man those dunes are steep up and down. Up was "klúnen" (struggling walking style but then different) down-hill(-dune LOL) no gaining speed at all from the rough tarmac was too high resistance. But then a few years later my sponsor and boss held a skating event at the Dutch Army "tank practice terrain"" de Vlasakkers at Soesterberg (next to the American Airforce base Soesterberg) and there were the "Dutch mountains"" (LOL there are no real mountains in the Netherlands, just some hills(TIP: YT for ""The Nits, In the dutch mountains" for lols ) ) and I fell in love with Downhilling. Going fast was addicting, no brakes on rollerskates LOL So scouting out was crucial, no Barry R's some run of grass, and then Forrest or Cliffs (sort of). Anywho I came back there a lot, and have managed speeds in excess of 140 kmh's. And as I was too stupid to be afraid, I was very lucky to escape with my life (to keep it short it was painful but worth it) more than once. I got the hang of ""out-in-out" apex-ing without real braking abilities, only air to slow me down or some weaving techniques. I also went to real mountains in Belgium and Germany to act stupid dropping at insane speeds, anywho only in 1996 I first did some rentall Karting and in 1998 bought a PS1 and the rest is obvious. Worn out many Wheels and pedals, got married stopped in 2000. I got deforced, and started up again 2 years ago with a Logitech G920 on an Xbox S played F1 (2117 to 2020) Forza7/AC and ACC. 6 months ago, bought a good Desktop PC (i 13600k cpu/4070ti gpu/ 32 gb ram)and the Moza R5 (and the lite brake) dd set, on a kitchen table setup and went Iracing and I absolutely love it now. But the rookies series owwwwwww that was rough, unfair, and unpleasant too often, I almost gave up and took a break for ~8 weeks. Did some Automobilista2, AC, and ACC in the meantime. But because of you, Jimmy Broadband, Dave Cameron, and Super GT I got back to the best SIM imho, atm C class, Sr 313, and Ir 1266. Thanks for your part in this Coach!!!

[@petermaardananders6803]

Small update, I ran into overheating issues with my Moza R5 set I just found out. I have used the max FFB settings a while back, the auto feature in Iracing and on the Moza Pithouse app. but that got me (+/- after 1.5 hrs of use) to become slower and while I had no real problems with or because of used/ worn tires (changed them regularly) I did not know why. Well, the issue is caused by overheating, even on the radical cooling setting in the Pithouse app. The FFB will be dialed down by overheating the base and thus the FFb feel will diminish because of that, causing to lose FFB thus slowing you down, it feels like your overall grip levels have diminished but your tires, etc. are fine if you look into that. Now i have tendon problems so I already have lowered FFb settings down because hurting my arms is not a good option. And as for now, it looks like the overheating issue is no longer there. But I haven't really done long sessions yet, so it still might. But anywho, I hope that this might help other R5 set users find out the weirdness of losing grip levels. Perhaps Moza can fix this idk, but for now, I can only say to be aware of this issue. The Moza R5 set can't run on full FFB for long periods without it getting weird on you, setting it to cool on Radical in Pithouse won't fix this either (yet??). Still, it is good value for money imho.

[@logical1510]

14:30 To your point about exaggerating techniques to learn them, and then shaving it back to detail. Two games that really helped me as someone new to sim racing were F1 22 and City Car Driving. F1 22 for obvious reasons, because the cars are so fast and jittery, like karts essentially. As a newbie, I crashed/spun a LOT in these cars, but it thought me to be smooth with inputs to prevent those situations as much as possible at my skill level. City Car Driving might seem off-topic since it's not a racing game, but it's extremely useful for someone learning how to drive with a wheel and pedals. The career mode in this game is really punishing and won't let you off with simple things such as going over a line or stopping too far from a stop sign on a closed circuit. It thought me to be more thoughtful about my inputs and it helped a great deal with coordination.

[@iJohn_YT]

Even though I''m not a beginner, and I know pretty much everything you mention in your videos... Dude I have to say, your explaining is really next level.

Glad to have found your channel. I havent sim raced for 2 years bc of IRL commitments but when i did I peaked at 3.3k iRating bc I can drive the Dallara F3 and nothing else. My biggest flaw is I think my skill is 100% subconscious. I have no idea what i am doing. I just do shit, look at the delta and subconsciously build pace based on that. Your videos motivated me to get back on iRacing to try and get methodical and drive more purposefully because they feel like they give me the tools to analyse what i am doing. Also your videos demystify what makes the alien drivers truly fast. I am a loooong way from ever being like them but it feels good knowinh its because they mastered specific techniques instead of just accepting that they are insane and I am not

[@SAGITTARlUS]

[@j.bryant5415]

I started with F1 games on the Playstation, then got into Forza series, and then Gran Turismo Sport. Since my roots are F1, I have been forcing that style of driving on every car in all the different classes. Now I understand why I'm slow in some areas and fast in others. Excellent video , thank you. Now a new subscriber. Makes me want to go buy a dirt kart. 1

[@mattconroy3918]

SUELLIO, Your style of coaching is spot on with my learning(I understand your explanations and able to apply). You mentioned Exageratting the skill(technique I used ski racing). How do u then refine that skill into being efficient? Example. I thought I was getting really fast cause my lap times were pretty good. However when o decided to focus o. Opening up the road and hitting the apex. I noticed especially in 🇲🇨 MONACO 🇲🇨 THAT I D I DROVE AT 2/3 throttle in was often beating my ghost!! So even though it felt fast I had to be slow. I believe TWO THINGS ARE HAPENING. One I am braking to early now as I progressed in ability to brake with gears. But I am still using same breaking point. And then my exit speed pretty sure I’m dumping speed. Developing my trailbreaking but still using old braking points. Then at end straightening my wheels out to fast especially hunting someone in front. The other thing that is happening is my turning at low speeds is smoother and cleaner. Finding the most efficient braking point TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH FOR ENTRY IS BIGGEST PROBLEM.

[@kaU4k]

[@landonmurray3814]

Dirt oval is so awesome, true multi line racing where throttle control and car control skills are the defining factors in speed

A little bit of colin mcrae and alot of Valentino rossi and more of Fernando Alonso just pure precision and world class driving just for me of course 😅 👍

[@Thehowlingbrown]

ACC has given me an appreciation for "smooth is fast" was interesting jumping back on Forza with this new found code of conduct. I'm very much an amateur but I am progressing fast with ACC. Sounds like Iracing is the next step in driving detail. Hope ac2 and renn are flawless on release.

[@cloric1]

My driving style prefers predictable slight oversteer in the braking zone and corner entry and neutral to understeer slip on corner exit, one of my biggest flaws is hitting apex’s too early on certain corner types, an issue i don’t have with high aero cars. Early apexing can lead to a significant loss of momentum mid corner and over compensation with the throttle leading to snap oversteer when you touch a curb on exit.

[@tiagobelo4965]

y'know, i was a little bit skeptical at first, but as far as my experience goes, you nailed the offroad driver bit I started with simracing and the rare few rental kart laps, and the first time I went into something purely with learning in mind it was the Richard Burns Rally rally school; and yeah, I completely despise understeery cars, even worse if they're RWD since you can induce some rotation into pretty much any FWD car by left-foot braking and being precise with your throttle inputs, but man, if a car plows through corners that's it for me, it's the sorta thing I've gotta learn to deal with.

[@gmarch4618]

I appreciate the honesty in the differences between ACC and AC vs the rest when it comes to braking. Been watching many of your videos and tried the techniques of carrying trail braking into the turns. But watching other alien drivers on YT, it was totally different. Now i see your description of smashing the brake and letting off much faster relating to what I see in the aliens. Im still a bit confused on how to get faster in ACC at this point. Im not sure how to apply your techniques in ACC.

Why this video has only 10k views?? this schould be watched by every one who are racing. btw can you explain me why i really love racing gt3 cars (mainly but every gt also) in assetto corsa and i cant get into acc, i dont feel car at all and it feels very diffrent

i came from racing games with a lot of drifting and rallying with both keyboard and controller. so i paid no attention to the actual cornering and braking. i understeers a lot but instead of me getting better at braking, i got better at correcting understeers so i got moves with e brake. well luckily for me, i know this issue fast and was able to fix it before getting a wheel. now i got a wheel and i'm still working on doing proper braking. since i have no access to an ebrake now, i am forced to deal with proper braking. getting a wheel was a breaktrough moment for me since i thought since i have more control over the input compared to controller and keyboard i would have better braking and shit. turns out no. like you said. the first collected habit is the hardest to break. i still understeer and shit at breaking even though i have all these control when i tried my friend's wheel for the first time.

I have a aggressive driving style to the point where I lose the back end until I perfect the braking point, for both open wheelers and road based cars and hypercars

Interesting i know where i honed my skill is in full body stock cars well on racing games because i just feel at home and seeing this makes me understand a bit more of what i can do to gain a few tenths hopefully

My driving style is actually really simple. Typically never going all out, keeping my lap times consistent and focusing on the overall race. I have even gotten several -000.000s during the same race to give you an idea of how consistent I truly can be. Some people get surprised when I get into a dogfight and I hold my own because I was not going at 100% and they make a move with a near 0% chance of success. If you want to beat me then think of racing like chess. Make moves that have a high rate of success and I will not even bother trying to fight you because it is a waste of time and I know that it is. All I can do is prevent you from making such a move in the first place which may not even be possible ie. drafting on a long straight. The amount of drivers I've seen not even understand these basics is rather astounding. If I have any weaknesses it would definitely be in the absolute. I am not the fastest driver on the road and even though I race in top splits many don't seem to understand that I don't race on the absolute limits. I prefer to be steady and consistent. That 1-1.5% that I'm not using is my weakness. If you can beat my pace and choose the correct spot to pass you will. It's really that simple. Edit: By the way I completely agree that you can change your driving style to a point. I can do slow in, fast out, late apexes, middle of the corner apexes, etc. I can shift my line depending on what I need at that point and time. While there is typically just one singular best line, there are multiple lines you can take that will give you a similar lap time. Understanding how to take these lines, practicing them, is how you get better as a driver.

For me low aero made me a oversteering driver and a lot of shit from here helped me

[@giovanni9065]

My playstyle is rally. Lightweight peppy little cars that with be your best friend or your killer depending in how you handle them

[@PaganCurse98]

I play Gran turismo 7 and The crew motorfest. And I've learned that alot of the skills I have taught myself on gran turismo working on motorfest but I don't slam on the brakes I usually start with 50 then work my way up.

[@NicolayGiraldo]

I try to drive all cars with their default setup, and adapt myself to the car, instead of the other way around. After a while, adapting to a new car becomes easier, much easier.

i literally spent my entire life keyboard racing , since precise steering is semi impossible you have to absolutely master the arts of throttle control and throttle steering , also you can not just "brake" in most cases you have to like act like you own abs and tap the brake button precisely and extremely quick , lemme tell you its no joke playing key board on a simulator

[@lexuslfa4739]

In a road car without ABS you can brake 100% when you are at a higher speed and the wheels have more load so you don’t have enough braking power but when the power builds up more then you start to release the pedal. Similar I found to AC. Also I would try to brake in a straight line as much as possible before turning in and not brake while turning in because most cars use a circular grip pattern where when you want maximum stopping power you brake without any lateral input, so if you want to be slower brake while turning in. Also if you looked at the recent Bahrain GP drivers were exploiting the edge of the track as much as possible before turning in to the corner to further solidify my point, even the more geometric drivers like Carlos Sainz who prefer the shortest way around a corner were taking the Lewis Hamilton line who prefers to go deep into the brakes and turn in as late as possible while on the brakes.

[@umi3017]

I start sim racing seriously on Race07 with WTCC cars, and even now I still struggle on high power RWD cars that snaps the tail when throttle applied. For me that even include GT3 with low TC setting. I always setup a car that only oversteer on braking.

[@noceilingsmotorsports]

Can you do a video on how to deal with dirty drivers/bad racing etiquette? I've been having trouble with this on iRacing

[@RuardtRudiProzesky]

Amazing content. Thanks! How does braking differ in Automobilista 2 vs iRacing?
