You are slow on Spa? Watch this!

[@robertosantoro9685]

Trail braking technique here is paramount. I see you get off the brakes very smoothly and that's in my opinion the key to achieve fast lap times around this track

[@TobiasPfeffer1]

That’s true, especially in the Merc it’s crucial to trail brake a lot into the corner

[@LaggerSVK]

yes, and I really like how he explain everything. Nowadays the new racers have everything. When I was starting with online racing nearly 20 years ago I was learning by doing. It was slow process and a lot of things I understood quite late. Especially the trail braking technique.

[@Worther12]

Great instructional video. I'm doing 2:20's around Spa (in the Ferrari). I was surprised to see that I use similar lines/braking markers/gears as you do. The HUGE difference is how much of the track you use at the track limits. Part of that is confidence that you will not run wide, I know this. By seeing how much time can be gained you've given me some invaluable information on where I can push the track limits. Thanks!

[@WigSplitters]

@Worther12 the main things you need to focus on is getting good lines hitting the apex and getting on the throttle and max power as soon as possible

[@swankmode]

Great vid dude. I definitely picked up something here that I didn't notice in other track guides. I really like how well you explain each turn and use markers and text labels to guide us.

[@craigleese1787]

This is a mega guide. Can you do this for every circuit or each lfm week ? Please. ❤

[@MrHaggyy]

I really like Spa. Uphill braking zones that allow a lot of rear braking. The flat-out parts are curvy and punish you if you don't nail the line and keep the TC. All those segments are linked with a combination that forces you to rotate the car with gas and brakes and they all have different speeds. I'm slowly moving from the 19th to the 18th. But I keep two wheels between the white lines, so I don't use the cubes as much as you do.

[@Jamboliner]

Awesome video. Great driving.

[@brandogt3racing]

This is exactly what the doctor ordered, a track guide (FINALLY) that shows where to brake, what position the car should be in on the track. And especially in the sim of choice ACC. As a disabled sim racer playing with the use of the right side, and using special aids on the steering (in the form of a steering aid and switches) and only using the right foot to brake and accelerate. Is there any way you could should a different technique to use when it comes to trail braking, or to mitigate the loss of time having to transition from the brake to the accelerate pedal and vice versa? I was told to brake first, before shifting through the gears, is this true in real life and what's the pros and cons of performing this technique? Final question (oh and I have subbed also), is there a way to gain time, if the car is slightly out of position in order not to overwork the hand that is steering? Many thanks for an awesome video. Hope there is more track guides in the near future. Brandon

[@17trunX]

So this was a track guide that just hit different. So good, so detailed but yet so short (minutes). Would be awesome if you could do this for every LFM Week for the upcoming 2 tracks honestly :D any chance? :)

You can also do 15s without changing the tc. Changing the tc is just for the last tenth

[@WigSplitters]

​@@TobiasPfeffer1tc changing on slower cars account for a bit more than a tenth I would say

[@TobiasPfeffer1]

⁠@@WigSplittersdepends, on Audi and lambo or Porsche you should always go tc off, but for Ferrari and merc it’s not changing drastically. Older cars like Nissan have of course worse tc but who is driving the older cars?

[@harman1967]

GTR2 I'm doing 2:17 in the Corvette C5R however that's on the 2003 track which for me has an easier bus stop chicane, the latest Spa on Asseto Corsa I find it difficult getting back on the power coming out of the bus stop chicane usually end up spinning out.

[@CookinBeatloaf]

This is cool, it might be worth showing this with the racing line on and compare the difference

[@JimboJet737]

Best not to use the built in “vr” racing lines, they are far from optimum. It will make you a better driver if you experiment with new techniques and lines lap after lap and see where you pickup time and where you loose it. It will also give you a toolbox of lines to use when in traffic or if you manage to force another driver to make an error or defensive move that might give you the advantage on the exit or set you up we’ll for an attacking position for the following corner.

[@HeftiB]

That 2nd uphill corner is killing me. Unless i roll off the throttle it either undetersteers or just spins off track... How are you able to keep full throttle thru that? (I'm using a porsche 991 btw)

[@bradhargis2261]

I'm having the same issue. No matter which car I use. Can't go flat out or it understeers at rouge and oversteers at the top of the hill, radillon? The only way for me to make it through as close to not lifting is to do a quick blip down to 4th at the bottom of the hill to get the front end to bite in make the turn and keep the rpms up through the hill to hit 5h gear at the top of the hill.

[@MikkSchleifer]

[@Gino_567]

id be interested to see what the lap time is without turning off TC and just leaving it on one setting.

I tried, but I didn't succeed. But I noticed that your car is braking a lot more than mine. Two questions: - Are you using the car's default settings? - What version of ACC? I'm playing on PS5 and I think this could have a considerable influence.

[@yuiman]

thank you for the great video but i have a question. Do you think everybody can do 2.15 with training and good setup or some people will never have the skills? And about how many hours played on ACC should i be able to get sub 2.17?

[@TobiasPfeffer1]

Its probably hard to hear but most of the people don’t get into the 15s, as their talent is not enough etc. I managed 16s after some hours but that doesn’t mean you or other people can’t do the same. In the end practise makes a big difference, especially sticking to a game and getting into the routine. And always have in mind, the aliens weren’t fast from the beginning on😉
