Great video! These are some very important steps to really improve your driving ability. Consistency is definitely a product of seat time, basic fundamentals and technique. There's so much to manage in your head, especially on endurance races. I always make sure to review my progress in instant replay every now and again when I hit that .500 - .250 variance between laps. It's very important to look for your mistakes/areas where you can improve. I can push this corner more, I should brake earlier here, track limits are more lenient here, etc. For me, it's at this point where I begin to tune the car.
It might look like that but they are more relaxed than one might think and also mcrae is not trying to safe fuel and tires when doing short rally stages
Your going to make a mistake every fee laps that loses you all the time you gained pushing compared to 95%. In a race consistency is the most important thing
tire saving: - turning in earlier and more gentle - no under/oversteer - dont accelerate too much going out of the corner fuel saving: - you still go full throttle on the straight, not 70%, too much time loss otherwise and probably overtaken since its easiest to pass someone on a straight especially when he dosent go full throttle - lift&coast (or leanest setting) before a big breaking zone and/or short shift - depending on the corner, car, etc. but you can use 1 gear higher, avoiding 1st gear can save a lot - SLIPSTREAM! can save a lot of fuel. you can shift earlier and dont have to accelerate as much to get the same speed. race pace usually depends on how much you need to save of what, your concentration, driving skill and so on
I'm a pure endurance driver. As my mind is completely free, I never control it, so most of the time I'm thinking about anything I bear in mind, and I race like an AI, following a precise pattern. Of course I still react to what happens on the track (mistakes, other drivers, car behaviour ...). It's only when battling that I don't think about anything, completely focused on the fight. Most of the time, it's very handy, unless I think about something which will smow me down, like calculations, but that's pretty rare. With this method I can be flowing for a few corners. But I can manage my race pace only in very specific tracks and cars combinations, or when my mind let me to be focused. For sure I can let go when I'm not in danger, but not with a laptime aim.
And I use your same logic on iracing and srs assetto corsa. I get really really really upset for the first lap heroes that want get from 5th to 1st in the first lap by crashing into you and dive bombing.. I smashed my t300 one time
@@LorenzoClara97 I always stay very calm and aware for the first lap. If I lose several places it doesn't matter, as I know some guys in front will do mistakes I'll be able to get them back.

Logging laps behind a ghost with split times on helped me learn pacing. Learn where you're fast and it's fast, and go balls to wall smoothly as possible til you sense the tires holding you back and pit.
the way to corner well and improve time is to stay patient, use in corners slow in and fast out to maintain the pace and improve the time, it will also reduce the tire wear. Also the way to improve is first to warm up by driving calmly and savin' your mental strength so when you feel you got hand of this then try to increase the pace every time with 10%. Try to break early on corners if you don't want to end in a sand or a wall, but if you wanna be risky and improve even more so I suggest to brake bit late but it usually leads to the wall. My tactics is to improve time to race calmly 1-2 laps and then increasing the momentum and being more aggressive and taking risks, therefore I also do late braking really often and it pushes me to the lead or improves my time
i love the way you teach. i have learned so much and my driving has really improved because of you. i'd love to see some rally racing tips and advice. thanks!
One question: If you drive "slower" like at 85% to save tires, are the tires gonna get colder also? I imagine the answer is yes because you are putting less stress on them.
Generally not. Going at 85% means going generally just 3 or 4 seconds solwer than your full potential. So, you're still going fast enough to keep them warm. It depends on the track temperature, on the track conformation, on the car you're driving and on tyres compound.
Remember when Schumacher got told he had to make three "qualifiying lap times" in the middle of a race to be able to hit the sweet spot strategy wise? (which he did, with almost the same time in every lap) Qualifying is the 110%, race is 95% - it's only that our 110% are as crap as a race pilot's 50%. When they're drunk.
It depends on the power curve of the engine. Some engine have the power peak close to the rev limiter (then you upshift close to the rev limiter), while other cars have the power peak at medium-high rpm (in that case you have to upshift a bit earlier). Watch the power curve and you'll know when you have to shift.
Yeah I remember on gt sport when I was more consistent then ever with a B S rating. I think I lost that because I cant do sport races like I use to or maybe I just need to practice a little and get back into fia? I'm not sure but I'll figure it out
brownboy25 honestly things like that happen mostly when you’re out of practice Not sim racing related, but in speed cubing, if you stop practicing, say, for a week and then come back at it again, you will be basically averaging times 10 seconds slower than before you stopped. You lose some of that automatism without practice... practice more, and you’ll regain it.
Where do the times for the paces come from? How do you know that those times are right? What if 100% for someone is slower than someone else's 90%... Where would you find the times?
Watching Asetto Corsa videos is so much more pleasant than GT Sport ones because of no constant tyre squealing. That's so annoying I just can't stand it. Maybe they impemented that for gamepad users (who obviously don't have any other feedback) to hear when the car loses grip. I mean, in real life tyres don't squeal like mad in every corner do they?
You know it according to your effort. If you manage to make the difference between "pushing like an animal" and "drive fast but relaxed", then you"ll understand what I mean. ;-)
@@viperconcept indeed. I understand now what you mean. yesterday during the Daily race C (Fuji GR1) I tried it. to my surpris e when I was relaxed and short shifting and didn't 'push like an animal ' to the limits, I was even quicker, with zero ( or nearly) mistakes or errors. When I was pushing lots of times I missed apexes or ran off track or had big moments that the rear came out. thx for the advice very helpful.
This is only applicable if you were using STEERING WHEEL since it will required delicate control and applying throttle and brake more precise. What happened if rest of them using controller??? That will be much harder to do it since braking and throttling in controller always leaves you with tapping buttons for better control. The timer gap for consistent driving will be bigger e.g. for steering wheel will have gaps about 0.5 secs on entire race, meanwhile for controller usually have gaps about 2 secs at max due inconsistency on braking and throttling at corners. I didnt mean to say that your lessons bad, but not everybody were using steering wheel as driving simulations since majority will using controller due room space and cleaning it after using will be pain in ass. Hope you will understand what I mean in general since I always driving with controller and my pace is on 90% average, except for tracks with many long straights I always got careless on tire managements due late braking or early braking which cost me time.
Well, if you're driving a simulator without a wheel you're kind of missing the point. Besides, the majority of actual sim racers (excluding casual players) use wheel. Also, practice makes perfect. I've seen plenty of people that are just as fast if not faster than wheel players and consistent.
How did you make your Assetto Corsa look like real life? What Post Process Filter and what graphics settings for AC and Custom Shader Patch? I seriously thought this looked like GT Sport at first.
This helped expoNENTIALLY, but my question is how can you figure out what your time range should be? Theres so many different cars and tracks and weather conditions etc so the only thing I would suggest is maybe how you can figure out a range to aim to achieve. If anyone else, or Viper if you can too that'd be amazing lol, can help with this it'd be MUCH appreciated
I guess by practicing with your target car/track/weather combination and getting the fastest time possible (that being your 100%), and use that time as a base to calculate the other ones.
I don't understood the difference between pace 85, 95 and 100% about your "movement" . Is exactly that miss to me for lower lap times. Sorry for my very bad english. Can you answer me in italian language?
@@viperconcept I can't get my times down especially during qualifying. I'm still always in the edge but at the end of the lap my time is very slower than my oppenents
I sometimes have this problem: consistently getting the same times and not being able to improve while others can lap the circuit like 2 seconds quicker :omegalul:
They're 2 different things: 1) It's easy to increase *your % of race pace* according to your current skills: simply try to reach your limit. 2) Increasing your *skills level* is way harder: that means increasing your limits, and yes, you need more and more practice.
