Shaved 4 seconds off of my time with trailing braking!!! I have been racing for just 2 weeks. Total newbee. (Although 69 years old. Yeah, haven't owned a video game in 40 years. Go figure.)
Automobilista 2: Watkins Glen
Formula Reiza
Moza R9, Moza KS Wheel, and SRP pedals.
I crash a lot. But I went from the slowest on the grid to the fastest. Listening to your videos has dramatically improved my times. Just set my best lap time ever! Almost 6 seconds faster than the Ai.

Thanks!

"Unless you're braking with an extremely light pedal" *looks down at logitech momo brake from 2005😢

You have honestly skyrocketed my pace with your tips, thank you

[EricKanavathi]

Well, don't we all make mistakes in every online race? It does not matter if you are a multiple race winner or a champion of a big event, this is helpful to keep in mind while racing.

Thanks for the great tips as always, Suellio! Will keep in mind.

The traction limit one is a game changer, once I figured it out my corner exits were insane compared to before.

[possibly_ben]

wow, algorithm was quick with recommending this one

I started listening to your tips maybe about 5 months ago when I was still using right analog on a controller for throttle and braking. Now with the wheel your tips have resonated even more so, and I've improved quite drastically just keeping things in mind for practice sessions and qualis. You truly are ahead of your time Brother.

Great advice and as I am still new to sim racing (3 weeks short of a year) I have only ever used Auto-Blip but no other aids, simply because I have never driven a manual car in 25 years of driving and with my pedals not being load cell (logitech G29 wheel and pedals) I have started using the clutch pedal as my brake (because brake too stiff) since doing that I have seen my times improve and my ability to trail brake. I still can't trail brake all the time depending on the car and the corner but it is a lot better than before. As for being slower and keeping line while the faster cars lap you, I find that if you communicate to the other drivers and find a good spot to pull over (straights of course) then it is better to pull over so they can stay on the racing line. Almost every drive I have done it to has appreciated it and thanked me simply because they could keep on the faster line (with more grip ) without ruining the entry in the next corner. If I know there is a long line of cars close enough together, I will even slow right down too to I don't go too far down the straight and then ruining the 6th or 7th in line, thus ruining there chance for racing for a higher position. It all comes down to communication with the other drivers, knowing the track and knowing your limits.

Everything else I will try to put into practice even though I already do some of it.

Breathing while cornering …. Best tip, you know me well…
I‘m trying now to breath twice a minute - hard to master as you mentioned, but it helps me with concentration and endurance:)

Thanks also a lot for the other tips, helpful alltimes!

damn this video is insane! you provide so many tips that i've never heard before. im gonna watch this every time before practicing

[myvishan]

Drive ABS cars as if they don’t have ABS! Had to learn it on my own but wow what a difference it makes, I used to just slam the brakes with ABS but it’s much more efficient to stay out of ABS.
