Suellio I really need help inj the last 3 days I lost about 800 Irating and 1.8 Safety Rating I get crashed out every race and I dont get why because the weeks before everything was normal... so please give me some advice😭
Thanks Suellio, what an excellent video. Understeer is the enemy of most GT7 drivers and this one video details something which isn’t spoken in great depth. The red bar / white bar is something even I didn’t know about so I’ll be trawling back through my replays to have a look. I suppose the light hands technique could help reduce that red bar when trying to get 100% braking ?
Your videos really help, I'm really rotating the car more, and I'm becoming alot more autonomous in my driving, but I am struggling now with over rotating and over slowing in the mid corner, my confidence has been getting lower, but I know Its a part of the process, that's how new techniques are, if I just keep testing and testing, I will figure it out. Your problems are learning opportunities
I'm strange, in that I have never driven with braking points (or any points around the track for that matter). I drive purely by feel of grip and looking ahead. I have always just 'thrown it in' and managed trail braking and the edge of grip to the apex. Makes consistency harder to develop, but I drive more by feel instead of markers which means trail braking is optimized sub-consciously. I also find I get up to pace in half the laps others do this way. I've never understood what I call 'robotic' driving.
9:48 This was my thought the entire time "isn't he uh, braking a bit too early? In other words, the reason why he is struggling with the lesson is both a lack of trail braking and not braking later to actually make use of it?" Looks like I was on the money. When I watched his driving it made me think of my unpracticed laps when I am not confident in my car or my knowledge of the track. That can be fixed with a lot more practice but I can tell he's a great driver already just needed a few touch ups on his technique. I usually am doing this to stay safe and consistent if I haven't practiced and gradually lean into braking later as I go and it is a great way to put out fast consistent laps but definitely not the fastest laps you can muster. Edit: Also people really have to understand, braking IS the hardest part about racing. If you are looking to shave off some serious time on your laps and improve, WORK ON YOUR BRAKING! That cannot be stressed enough.
i think that stopped working after the last update :( 1.49 if you trail brake you are slow and the car is understeer :/ can we get some update for that?
I have a question about a word. I am not English speaker,so I can not be able to understand the word “rotation”. Could you tell me the word of the meaning in detail, if you could.
Sliding a bit too much under acceleration, rather than knowing when to brake, knowing when and how to come out of a corner. Weird but good having to also put yourself mentally in the position of other drivers!
Excellent video. I drive the Porsche GT3 R in ACC. I have to watch the rear end a lot. Are you adding more steering angle or using the pedals? Are you trail braking then when near the apex blip the brake to rotate at the apex or, if still under rotating, hold the trail brake a little past the apex until you have the proper rotation to send it?
What about settings on the car, i dont use abs and changing one bit if suspension affects another, getting gears right, all confuses me due to past head injuries
I watched this about a week ago and have been applying this “pointing with braking” idea since then. The amount of control I now have while driving is night and day! It is fascinating how hearing something said a new way can make it click. Thanks!
Suellio, I love your channel and I’m a huge fan, but I think you may be wrong here regarding coasting. GT7 isn’t really a sim and a lot of the best techniques are determined by game mechanics. If you watch the very top drivers in the world on GT7, they basically all coast. Digit even talks about having to do it in his track guides. I’ve ran their replays thru Motec to watch telemetry, and the top times do it. Typically in lower gear for added rotation. What I do notice however is some of the top drivers like K. De Bruin, they immediately downshift the instance they come off the throttle, before even braking max. Then after coasting they hit the throttle straight to 100% and then immediately back it off to whatever max grip is then progressively add it on. They usually time the up shift for the coasting phase, but occasionally you’ll see in low speed corners then smashing to 100% in first gear and immediately upshifting and putting the throttle to the correct position. Happy to help you setup Motec with GT7 via the GitHub app, you’ll see for yourself as you can run it while watching replays of top times and get full telemetry.
Well. GT7 is not a simulator. Suelio is wrong about coasting. But his tip about coasting made a top tier GT7 driver find half a second. How does that contradiction work out in your head?
He ended up finding 1.2s after a few weeks of practice. He found 0.5s in that session and after a few laps after the session, but he eventually found a lot more. Coasting does work on GT7 depending on the car and setup, its not a "sim" thing only, it really depends on so many factors!
@@DanielFenandes it’s not a contradiction, and I certainly considered it. Trailing the brake better as Suellio said certainly made this driver faster and gained rotation, but that doesn’t mean it is the meta mechanic for GT7 in the top split of times and drivers, even if it is IRL. For example IRL you cannot do the meta braking/ downshifting technique. I’m not sure why you feel the need to be so combative and rude. My comment was respectful, and merely sharing what the top drivers on the game have shared, and what my telemetry collection of world record lap times has also shown. Have a nice day and all the best with your racing.
I've been trying to get faster in gt7 but I'm kinda stuck on controller because of a disability, so sometimes I feel like I can't steer the car as quickly as I need to so I lose a lot of time in hairpins and the like. Any corners that I can smoothly turn into and trail brake I seem to hang with the fast guys, but anything that requires lots of rotation I just get killed. I can sometimes get top 100 times in daily race time trials but I'm missing that last like few % of pace that would mean I'm competitive in nation's cup or manufacturer's cup races. No idea what to do to get faster lol.
Controller is always going to be a limitation, even though it's a pretty good experience overall. Micro corrections, rapid changes in direction and responding to slides are all way harder if you're not using a wheel with force feedback. I do find a lot of this stuff just clicks and it's easier in VR though...

Suellio's ability to draw with a mouse is IMO his most understated skill.

Mid corner is the hardest part of gaining time. Just learn the right time to apply throttle and adjust your braking.
I'm strange, in that I have never driven with braking points (or any points around the track for that matter). I drive purely by feel of grip and looking ahead.
I have always just 'thrown it in' and managed trail braking and the edge of grip to the apex.

This channel is absolute gold. Ive been able to teach myself so much
Thats why it can be benifical to learn driving without ABS, you get a better feel for the brakes with immediate feedback.
@guntherlutjens814 everyone uses abs in gt7 though
@guntherlutjens814 but in the video they didn't drive without ABS
@guntherlutjens814yeah it’s far from being a sim
i think its between simcade and sim. A good entry into the sim racing genre imo @@BiscuitsYT
It's a sim. Hope that helps 👍

It's cool to be able to see the faults now after I bought your course ! At least the overarching problems.
Id love to see some F1 23 content, like showing a noob how its done :) Your such a cool guy Suellio, its a pleasure to watch your content.
YESSSS FINALLY GT7
Suellio can you maybe coach me too? 😅
Can you play gt7 again if your not
Try having your students change abs to 'weak' in the menu, I find it helps a lot with braking control and rotation
Sliding a bit too much under acceleration, rather than knowing when to brake, knowing when and how to come out of a corner. Weird but good having to also put yourself mentally in the position of other drivers!
Wait this guy won GT7 champ, but doesnt know how to log his own brake points? Or general racing/car control basics?
Great coaching tho.
And doesn't even know what is that red line in braking telemetry, lol
You are the man Suellio, all your videos are pure gold. I know you will reach 100k very soon and 1M over 2024. Thank you so much for your content

Are you trail braking then when near the apex blip the brake to rotate at the apex or, if still under rotating, hold the trail brake a little past the apex until you have the proper rotation to send it?
Initial D: learn to brake without ABS so that you understand what it does.
Also, basically late apex.
What about settings on the car, i dont use abs and changing one bit if suspension affects another, getting gears right, all confuses me due to past head injuries
Omg, this camera angle make me cry...
Best one for GT7
@@scottd7222 I always use cockpit cam in F1, ACC, AC.
@@R0b3ert ppl would use cockpit in gt7 but they dont let you adjust it enough so its bad on a lot of cars
@@dylan538 Thx the info.
great video, just something simple or multiple small things make a great difference, subscribed keeo it up
I watched this about a week ago and have been applying this “pointing with braking” idea since then. The amount of control I now have while driving is night and day! It is fascinating how hearing something said a new way can make it click. Thanks!
Sueilo hablas español? Hoy en día hay programas o academias para hacerte piloto de gt atravesar del sim racing
I would say he's off the brake too quickly and that's why he gets a lot of understeer on exit ?
Is bouncing off apex slow in fast out kinda theory?? 11:00
Very firm braking, with lots of ABS activation

Been trying to get the motech to work but have problems somewhere. Would live to use this and see actual pedal trace data.... 😮
I love you man. You've totally changed my drive style with only one video.

He explained a key component of sim racing; now what is left to discuss is his paid course?
You have no idea of the amount of things to be discussed still ;)
not gonna lie, im driving a pre 2000 transit connect, tracking needs doing but jeeze, its fun
my bad 03
And VR users get shafted lol
bro your channel is epic!
FIRST
Big deal. No one cares about grand theft auto.
You could coach GT7 champion, becaus gt7 is not a simulator xD Anyway great videos, love you work. Keep going
Simulador é o Iracing com a grama feita de sabão, encostou, roudou. xD
Good in arcade game, shit in real simulator. Not a surprise
Looks like he didn't watch his previous videos about GT7.
Gt7 is a kids game and ACC is an actual driving sim.
19:00 dude mentions ACC and bro gets so defensive😂🤣
GT7 😂😂
