Why Driving on PAINT is FASTER in iRacing

Vid with Anthony Alfredo where we discuss this among other things:

I would've never guessed that something like this could be real. I would expect it to be in a sim even less. Mind blown

[tmattix]

Yep, works great at a number of the 1.5mile tracks especially

[TurdFurgeson]

I love charlotte, and I love ARCA cars. It’s just a shame that every time I try and race them, my safety rating gets destroyed. Literally my favorite combo, but it will get me demoted 😂

[christopherlozada]

Depends because could be slippery as well. I guess temperature is 🔑

[__fan]

Imagine if we had a completely painted race track

Don’t do the because thing at the end.

But otherwise great video

I’m really aggressive at charlotte with pushing the boundaries of the paint and it fr has helped multiple races I’ve had on long run where I’d just start going 1-2 tenths faster when the tire wear started kicking in. Because I’m really aggressive tho, I’ve had a couple spins but luckily I think I only hit someone once and have been able to save about half of them and the other times i go flying into pit wall but when I get told “nice save, good shit” when I drift through almost all of turn 4 and keep it straight it’s so satisfying

Meanwhile in f1 the white line has caused more crashes in the rain then any other thing😬

[WaskiLP]

"its fixed set not scam set" has to be one of the greatest responses to those setup shop guys 😂

[lukeleach]

I feel this at USA speedway too, I think there’s a dip but this same line a def faster

[nathanstretch]

Are you sure it's more grip and not less? Putting the inside tires on a slightly less grippy surface could help the car rotate more in some situations, allowing you to turn the wheel less, thereby going faster and and saving the outside tires as you said.

[Waddle_Dee_With_Internet]

Does this work on some NASCAR games too?

[lionheartracing]

Orange Show Speedway and Havasu 95 Speedway. You’re 2 tenths slower than everybody if you are even an inch off the paint.

I mean I just won a race here in d class arca and I didn’t really use that

[Mr.dontPlay]

Do they also use the grass to cool down thier tires??😂

[blaiseb]

I’ve actually kinda noticed how when you get down there it’s almost like a groove the tire gets into

Pretty cool

[imgahey]

Its not extra grip...its the difference in grips that create a handling characteristic

[bobbybobman]

If you didn't know this, you ain't a true fan, its crtitical when you are actually fighting for thousandths. But I'm no where near that good a driver.

Learn something new everyday. Too bad speed isn't obtained from aerodynamics, more Horsepower, with looser regulations on car builds, motor specs, like before 2005, instead from fkn road paint on the track
