Spain is such a good track to practice these techniques and limits on high speed corners. I used to hate racing it with zero assists, but running a few laps right after watching this gave me a few tenths on my old pace right away, especially with the trail braking breakdown. Thanks man

[@akmal94ibrahim]

I always test setups or practice in Spain too. I just assumed there must be a reason F1 does their winter testing there. It has pretty much every single kinds of turns for you to practice.

This would make a fantastic series, actually. Would love to see in-depth videos on loadouts, tire management, and even manual gears (won't lie, I can't do manual gears to save my life, even with a Fanatec wheel).

[@a1armeddongaming641]

I also use auto gears but while braking I still downshift to help my braking and it has helped me some. But I am a controller user, I can’t afford wheels and I don’t have space for a setup for it

@@a1armeddongaming641 yeah, same here. I shortshift and downshift for engine braking, but I leave it in auto. It's hard to do it on the controller

[@pollux_id2557]

Once you learn how to use gearing its the best thing ever. the control you have over the car is so great, what helped me is you make the controller keybinds bottom letter and left letter downshift and upshift instead of the bumpers on the top of the controller.

I use racing line as a rough estimate of braking zones, anti lock brakes, medium TC, and auto gears. Mostly because I'm on controller and don't actually want to learn every corner of every track. I never follow the racing line exactly, but it's more of a guide for me. Also I continue to use controller because I play on Xbox, and I'm too broke to set up a sim rig, even for my xbox

That's the same for me with the only difference being that I don't use TC on controller

[@LasherTimora]

The only assist I have real issue dropping is racing line. Learning and getting breaking points and apex speeds right seems like an insurmountable job for me. In league racing, and when I don't feel like sweating too much, I also use medium TC and sometimes ABS (I didn't in the last league I ran in though), as I'm not consistent enough without them. It's fine for singleplayer where I can flashback, and I can complete at least one decent lap with them off, so the potential is there, I can technical drive without them :P I dropped autogears a long time ago, and it was easier to adapt than I thought it would be.

[@Alex-js5lg]

If you're driving with only one tire on the track, increase your differential locker to 85% under throttle. This helps keep the car stable when its tires have unequal grip.

[@deanjeffery04]

Another major factor I found which limited my pace initially was having a bad setup. If you can fine tune your setup to suit your driving style, you can take up to a second off each lap. It’s so important to have the right setup in place, especially if you’re looking to get faster.

Controller & auto people, you can still trail brake and short shift exiting corners. I’ve found this has really improved my lap times. It’s difficult to engine brake, but you can absolutely utilize the gears on controller to reduce wheel spin or get out of high gear

Slow in, fast out has helped me so much this year. Of course there are some braking zones that can be cheated a little but, for the most part, fixing my braking has benefitted me so much.

[@nivayu]

Thank you for the tips. What I struggle the most in is driving in wet conditions. Would really like a video on that. When I normally can compete with the AI at 80-90, I will be seconds of as soon as it's wet conditions. Also a video on how to create a setup that fits your own driving style would be great. Questions like: What to change when you keep losing the car in fast corners; What changes can/should be made between dry/wet and quali / race setups. How do you judge, if you should just add more wing if you lack grip, or if you should change the suspension to get more traction in corners.

[@BigMattXXL]

Imagine having buckets of money to afford a wheel and pedals

[@connorgreen5138]

A video on setups would be awesome. My intuition sucks when it comes to how I set up the car and hearing what actual in game effects happen due to stiff suspension or soft roll bars would help so much

[@rg7535]

This will be very basic because I don't want to write a bible, but it should help until you find something more comprehensive. Use softer suspension in tracks where the best racing line involves hitting a lot of kerbs, like Monaco. Stiffer suspensions will make the car a bit more responsive, which can help when you don't need to lean on kerbs a lot, like in Sochi. Softer anti-roll will help in tracks where there are long corners, such as Paul Ricard. Stiffer anti-roll bars will be better in tracks like Melbourne, for instance. I tend to go softer on the front and stiffer on the rear, unless it's a circuit like Paul Ricard or Silverstone, where you have too many long, high speed corners, in which case it's better to just go soft all around. Lock-on differential is good for responsiveness, but terrible for actually turning the car. It's a good rule of thumb to go almost all free off the throttle and heavily locked on the throttle, unless it's a track like Monaco, where you need free wheels to make the hairpin without pretty much stopping the car. Higher tyre pressure will make the car faster, but you will lose traction, so great for, say, Monza, and terrible for, say, Monaco or Singapore, although you can always go higher on the front and lower on the rear for traction. Your weight balance is there just to balance the car. So if you're getting too much understeer, set your balance towards the rear, and if you're getting too much oversteer, set the balance towards the front. As for toe in and toe out, you want toe in where there are a lot of fast corners, or you will lose too much traction over time. Toe out will make the car a bit more responsive where you don't need toe in. Lastly, you can always increase downforce to mitigate oversteer and understeer, and play around with the suspension as well. Try to play around with these set ups like this and you will soon understand how they work. I would explain the reasoning behind them all, but this got way too long as it is. Hope it helps.

[@salim_abid_]

TRM racing setups are awesome; He has specific ones for each track and I find them to be almost perfect in most instances for races. Most can be tweaked just a little to suit yourself but majority of them you don’t need to touch 👍👍

[@salim_abid_]

Correction; Channel name is TRL Limitless 👍

[@McPlayer8t]

The one single thing that has helped me most in F1 2021 is changing the camera settings. Everyone has different preferences, but I use TV Pod with a wide FOV, positioned up quite high, and angled downwards. That’s what gives me the best sense of where the car is on track, but just experiment and see what works for you. Other than that, practice following AI cars and gradually increase the difficulty, that’s the best way I’ve found to learn new circuits. Finally, it’s actually not as hard as it seems to turn off the driving assists and still drive well. Once upon a time I thought I would never drive without traction control, but now that I’m used to it, it’s honestly pretty easy. ABS has a much steeper learning curve, so I’ll admit I still use that one.

[@ccramit]

That part of the video is misleading. Equipment will only gain you like hundredths or thousandths of a second and help you save the car a bit faster when you make a mistake but it won't prevent you from making the mistakes in the first place. And if you are going to upgrade your gear, getting a load cell brake kit would do you much, much better than a wheel/wheelbase with better FFB. Braking is where most people lose time, and it leads to better handling through the corners. A wheel does you no good if you still brake like crap in braking zones.

[@Hectic_]

I love how I've been playing F1 games since Micropose GP 1, and there's still much to learn. I used to think I was half decent until I started watching your channel. On average I'm about 3 seconds off on every track / lap, but watching you has made me force myself to get better. I used to use ABS and TC up until a couple of years ago, and after only about a week of doing time trial laps to get used to it, I was was smashing my old times. I learn so much from watching your channel, TRL, and Aa- ...(flashback)...I learn so much from watching your channel and TRL Limitless. 😂 Now, after every career mode season, I can keep upping the AI, because I'm progressively getting better. I've also found that turning off flashbacks, which forces you to either restart an entire race or just deal with the situation improves your race craft immensely. Keep up the great content. There's a reason why you're my most watched KZbinr. 😎

With the gears, it seems overwhelming at first, since it requires some multitasking. But once you get the hang of it it will be 2nd nature. You won't even have to think about it. I would recommend for you to be confident in your driving with automatic gears first. Once that becomes easy, you cab start multitasking by adding the manual gears challenge. Manual gears should also help with turning off TC. I would recommend to learn manual gears before turning off TC. What helped me as well with manual gears is just driving around a track with long straights and some hard braking zones, like Austria and just go slow and make sure you hit your gear changes. As you start to get used to it, you slowly increase your driving speed. It will be really tough at first (couple of hours), but you gotta try and hang in there. Are you on a controller or wheel?

[@purpletigerracing7087]

I've actually been playing a lot of GT Sport on the pad. I leave the settings on the cars. But I'm doing all the braking and shifting. I've noticed once you put in the time to go over the tracks, and you consistently go over sections of track you learn a lot of what Ben is saying. One of the things I've found is that in GT Sport you basically have to abuse track limits and drive some of the cars in a non intuitive fashion thrashing them about to get some of the lap/campaign times. I've just started noticing this about the F1 games as well. Although the F1 cars do everything better. And once you get used to no TC or ABS it's actually more enjoyable. Much faster. Even though I'm still a noob who sucks. Lol.

[@NeelkanthEarthmovers]

Is your career over ?

[@dansmith6909]

Tip number one really makes sense. A lot of your corner isn't done by steering at all, in fact, a racing driver's job is to steer as little as possible because steering is slower. On entry, car placement and angle of approach accomplishes more than steering, if you watch the pros. I'm a bit reluctant to give my opinion on throttle control on corner exit (it's everything) because i'm still in the "must improve" category myself. So far (up to 4) these are good tips for all racing games not just F1. I would like to weigh in on the manual gears point. For many years i was an automatic user, then was forced to go to manual with clutch for one game in particular that accentuates the advantage. 2 months later i couldn't stand to drive auto in any game anymore. It's probably the single biggest change any of us can make.

the TCS/ABS rule mainly only applies to F1 racing btw. There's a lot of debate, but *factory* TCS/ABS is ideal if you're using other track cars.

I started driving manual on sticks and got to a point where I would spend an hour reconfiguring a controller for manual if the game didn’t just have a layout for it (midnight club 3 and others) went to GT and had auto on but realized immediately that I’m too used to manual and auto feels weird. I need to be doing more at once for the challenge. Still had assists on though and could still physically feel being held back from how I wanted to drive in some corners and situations until I turned them just all off cold turkey and felt the release of restrictions on me and just been gradually getting better at controlling different cars. Just got a T300 GT edition and aside from learning to get used to the physicality of it, I’ve basically immediately improved on lap times. You learn more to drive a bit safer too because of the way force feedback makes you feel it when you’re crashing lol force feedback also helps you take bigger risks as you can FEEL more information and correct and fix yourself better from one moment to the next

I tried playing the f1 games again last year think i was playing the 2019 game.

It took a while for me to even get on the same pace as on the wheel again and even then it was full atk pushing to the limit not constant lap times at all.

I use a logitech dfgt with spunges in the pedals for a better feel of where the limit. Admitted, if I had the space I'd upgrade my equipment. But nonetheless, I learnt to drift in Assetto Corsa with this setup (on mediocre level, but still counts).

Started using manual gears today. My god, so much to do and remember!!!

If you feather the gas pedal it helps you to rotate through the corner

Yesssssss please keep these coming

I would love a video on, like, the theory/principles behind manual shifting, what gears to be in, engine breaking, and so on. I have never driven a manual gear car, am only recently into F1 as a motorsport, and just got into racing games with a Logitech G920. But I don't understand cars on any real level so I can't begin to understand how to drive in manual.

Getting load cell pedals was the best thing I ever did.

I completely agree with the old setup! I have a 3 year old Thrustmaster T150 and it is definitely showing its age, after about an hour of playing it will randomly disconnect and in game my car goes full 180 lock and crashes! Key note: ALWAYS BLAME THE EQUIPMENT

I use manual gears in EVERY racing game I play. It feels way more engaging to shift gears yourself than letting the computer do it imo! :)
