This Makes Your Bad Habits WORSE! - Sim Racing Tip

Learn why changing setups to adapt to your driving style might not be the best idea in the long term, depending on the stage of your driving technique. Here I'll tell you a story about a coaching session with a racing driver who wanted to learn more about setup changes. His ultimate goal was, like everyone, find laptimes.

I've been working with this student for some years already and he's been improving massively. He went from 1.5k iRating to around 7k in these years and he keeps improving a lot. He approached me to talk about setup changes, but I wasn't sure if that was the best idea for him... yet.

I mostly post videos about racing technique and my goal is to make you drive faster. If you like the content, let me know in the comments :)

This is exactly one reason I suggest driving a fixed setup series before going to the open. Get used to driving around the setups will give you a lot more tools when your setup isn't dialed in.

Today I learned I'm in the Top 20% of iRacing :)

Don't forget to like the video if you liked the video :P

Thank you for the comments! Great to know you enjoyed the format, so I'll post some more!


And yes I also do 1 to 1 coaching, info is all on my discord!

Splendid video man, I am learning this in a tournament that I'm racing on with that Porsche Cup, I feel that this car has teach me a lot about car behavior and driving technique. And that combined with the Motorsport checklist is just mind-blowing, I have two years in simracing and I'm almost catching a Suramérica kart champion, this is for all of you out there to notice how good the motorsport checking is.

Suellio, your mini lessons and quick tips are great and very much appreciated. To the point and most importantly, practical. Thank you.

Video idea:
How to make an understeery car oversteer and an oversteer car understeer? I think it'll be helpful to a lot of people.

«Oversheer and undersheer». I love your accent! Good content, as usual Suellio!

[jogabonito]

This is a great channel! Concise and detailed. I've watched other popular channels who just waffle and don't explain things nearly as clearly as you do!

[dechols]

yo the editing in your this video should be mentioned. Great vid Suellio and as always great great tips and insight

[CaptainCrunch]

Great insight on what’s really going on!

I just take setups from fast laptimes I find on YT for the track and car combo, even if I don't like the feeling of the car, I know it's fast so I adapt

[AnwarHaikalRuslan]

I found this out when I forgot to tune my setup in a practice lap in Sepang and Suzuka, and somehow got the same time as my usual "rally" setup despite complaining about understeer at every turn. I'm not a pro by any means, but coming from WRC, Dirt Rally 2.0, and Richard Rally Burns, I enjoy driving cars with a very strong negative front camber. This just feels better to me, but it definitely wears out and overheats the tire more.

[JaredAkers]

Awesome. thanks again, another great learning moment.

Q: I run mostly open wheel (iRacing), but what car do you suggest on iRacing for learning the most? (I see 992, Mx5, Skippy, a lot, curious what your thoughts are)

[henupark_racing]

It's a good video. I'm also iracing Youtuber. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you!

[ingeniussoul]

Sounds a bit extrem, but I wish we would not be allowed to change setup.
I mean, I wanna be a better driver, not a better tech engineer !
Why should you feel you won or lost a race because of setup ?? This should get out of the equation

[fdyujyrsvhyjn]

i love you and your videos. and racing

[ekloki]

This is why i play only fixed setup :)

[xRacer]

Release the brake too early or fast you lose front grip... can see in Telemetry

[loucosporvelocidade]

pena voce nao criar conteudo para o Brasil

[Frankenslide]

Do you do any private Gran Turismo 7 coaching? I’m in the top 3% but I want to be in the top 1% I’ve hit a plateau with my skill and don’t know where to seek help. I’m willing to pay.
