I WATCHED THIS VIDEO IN 2X SPEED TO IMPROVE EVEN FASTER

Couldn't agree with the point about comparison more. I'll never forget this one time at a test in the UK where my teammate was destoying me in this tight hairpin using a U-shaped approach. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why that was faster than my V approach which made more sense for the corner geometry, so I asked him- he had no idea lol. It wasn't until the track walk later that night where I noticed just the slightest bit of banking which wasn't visible from the car and honestly barely noticeable up close either. I would have never tried that technique had I not seen someone else destroy me.

I've had two lessons with you. I think you have to be the best instructor out there. Your attitude and patience is outstanding! Your instruction was clear and you communicated visual check points and "feels", which helped a lot. I wanted to take this opportunity to show my gratitude for your excellent teaching.

I love that this video states some "obvious" facts that we all know but get stuck in the back of our brains a lot of the time. There's not always a complex solution, just little steps I'm between.

One big thing to go with comparing your driving with others, is to learn how to listen and accept critical feedback. Most faster drivers enjoy helping others if you ask, but expect that they may say something you don't like/agree with. Be open to that knowledge and ask follow up questions!

This practices is not only for racing techniques, is for life

[ericcasado]

These has to be one of the most original and based tips for improving on simracing that I found

[Gamble..]

the fact that this video started with habits tells me so much about who you are as a coach. gonna watch your content for a while i can tell you that

[SpeedCQ]

A lot of these tips apply equally well to any skill: targeted practice, learning from others, physical wellbeing, and setting challenging goals. Really enjoyed this video, would love to learn more about your personal philosophy on growth/self-development.

There are some great tips in here, man! I swear, taking a walk and cold shower before an endurance stint makes such a big difference. Super underrated.

That advise "let your body sleep on it" is a freak, geez!

I took this week "off" to lean two tracks. Bathurst and Magny-Cours and was struggling a lot.

Magny-Cours: I got quite quick to a reasonably fast lap time but couldn't keep myself on track more than 2 laps without spinning.
Bathurst: The best I could do was 3 seg off-pace than my teamm8s and I wasn't improving day by day.

Changed my training profile yesterday from 3h Bathurst +2h Magny-Cours to 1, 5h/1, 5h and let myself relax after and the result today was:
Magny-Cours: 2 full stints with times within a 0, 7sec eachother.
Bathursts: Improved 2secs and got from maximum 3 laps to 14laps with no crash.

Wow. Im so glad I found this channel. Subscribed.😊 I'm a competitive chess player and everything you mentioned applies to chess as well. So when you laid out these tips I was like "oh my God, I do all that in chess but not in sim racing which I started 3 months ago."

I don't want to be super competitive in sim racing but thanks to this channel I will be very efficient in my (awareness-- self analysis-- modify behavior--make it muscle memory) improvement loop

Thank you very much

A bunch of great tips here, especially #2. Don't be afraid to put yourselves in difficult places! I see it happen so many times that because people are not winning or fighting for wins, they just immediately quit a league or race.

[dinodadog]

love this format. Love your tips and technique videos. After watching a few of your videos i have learnt so much and are trying to improve my driving. Keep up the good work.

[richardlehoux]

Fascinating to hear piano practice techniques applied to driving. Great!

[tonedcos]

Thanks mate, always good to see different approaches to driving tuition ;)

[Xerra]

This will be very helpful. Thank you for giving me a good reason to compare. I also like the way you create your content, which I’ll definitely reference upon when I learn to make content.

I agree that leagues are a great way of improving Suellio.
I joined the SimGameNerd league for season 2 and have improved a lot and still enjoying myself in season 6.
Racing against much faster and higher iRating drivers really makes you concentrate on improving.
If I can improve at my age (66 years) then there is hope for us all. 🤣
I just never give up trying.
