Got my license on Zolder just the other day. Did it with a popometer setup but I also did it in practice with the default Safe Setup (by accident) as I knew the track so well thanks to the video you made, Nils. You're a great coach and I'm sure anyone can get over the line this season, as well.
Geile Sache mit dem Popometer. Vom Name her habe ich gedacht das ist eher so'n Spaß Ding, aber ist ja richtig professionell gemacht. Quasi wie Garage61 für ACC. Super!
Thank you!! I’m already 3 sec. faster in less that 24 hrs after watching your video. This in-depth approach is just what I need. But I do need more help but Im on console and use a Mac, is there help for someone like me? Lol
Great guide (and for free!) Don´t think i will ever come to the point of using telemetry data, but will buy anyhow hoping to see more hq video´s from you. (and i NEWER ever support or buy anything online stuff.. well exept the actual game that is. )
might as well use the data when you already pay :D there are a couple "public" teams from me on the website once you are subscribed to compare basics. trust me, its the most efficient way to learn. first time you'll likely notice that you don't do anything similar.
that popometer website!!! thanks :D I used to race in grand prix legends where we had such utilities to compare our laps against others , really missed this one. thanks for that great one :) Why do LFM need a certain laptime btw? I guess it would be great to have drivers of all speeds, to learn from eachother, but ofcourse match people with similar pace with eachother :)
@@SimracingPopometer aha, okey, I can buy that you need car-control which you have when you drive fast, but there is a lot of really fast people in the pub servers, that cant race at all :D Sometimes it feels like im driving destruction derby :) they dont give space, etc. I will probably start doing videos of them soon haha :)
@@SimracingPopometer thanks for your reply buy I would like to know what math they do to get the required rookie licence requirement. How do they get to the actual figures from best lap to the percentage they quote. Does anyone know.
@@brianstoneley227 not sure I understand. there's a list of records on the website. and then they take the time in seconds and multiply with 1.07 to get to the average lap time you'll need to beat. the record itself changes over time and so with it the benchmark moves too

I just checked Brand's Hatch quali from GT World Challenge last year. the difference between pole and p25 was 2.5 seconds. not the 7 lap max difference but 1 the best lap difference. if you take the worst time of 7 consecutive laps the number will be way bigger. that's just p25 do you expect to have 25 ppl playing LFM or do you expect a bit more wide demographic? I find that 7% for the rookies is too extreme. Imagine being tasked to do anything irl within 7% of the world record. For example you're allowed to own or drive a car irl if you're not more than 7% below maximum recorded IQ result. that would be fun. before you say you don't need that to drive a car, well do we need every rookie to be on par with the real racing drivers? Update: LFM currently racing users 33 no wonder huh
This isn't an attack, but if you can't get 107%, you're just too slow and need to keep practicing. The license is not too difficult, over 97,000 drivers have done it. That's 5.7 seconds and that's doable. In this way they create a certain entry hurdle so that even the slowest have a certain level. How do you want to race cleanly if you can't do 7 fast laps? I also had to practice for the license, but I managed it very easily with Nils' instructions and I'm certainly not the fastest. See it as a challenge and be happy when you make it. and then you're glad the hurdles aren't any lower, because everyone who is too slow or too insecure is sorted out. nobody wants to race with opponents who can't manage a clean lap. otherwise it's like the worst open lobbies. just keep going, watch the video and try to implement what he says and then you'll make it for sure. There's no point in always blaming others. you're too slow and that's not a problem. but if you want to lfm you have to keep practicing. simple. you can do it
@@fs5490 so ppl who do laps 115% should not be allowed to race online? that's called elitism. just match those ppl with others who has 115% lap pace. there is no harm in that. 97k of accounts not drivers, not active users, not users online. LFM currently racing users 46.
@@Endemiq2 if you see it that way then yes it is elitism. Id rather have elitism than pure anarchy. The state in LFM is already bad whe nyou race against slower people who managed to be in the so called "elite"
@@Endemiq2you can race online. just not lfm. sign up somewhere else. and the 46 riders are nothing meaningful. it's off season, means little running and no points. in the evening there are many more. there is a race every hour with ~200 riders, more races with another ~100 riders. it's already chaotic, especially in the lower classes, it doesn't get any better with a lighter license. it is what it is, it works and it is good. now it's up to you. get faster or whine around. you will not change anything with the second option. If you practice hard, anyone can do it. I don't know how long you drive, but you can't expect to be fast after 2 weeks. then acc is probably the wrong game for you, sorry.
@@razuler how exactly a separate bracket with the lower quali time will change ANYTHING for the current player base? if anything those ppl who spend a month barely hitting 107% won't bother and quali to the new lower bracket immediately actually improving your experience.
way too much information for someone just to get their license, dont get me wrong its all really good information but just too much for a new comer to be thinking about on the track. its easier for them to stick to simple instructions at first then build on them.
you never know where people stand. can't match a single video for the entire bandwidth of people's skills. i rather add too much than too little and then people can choose what to ignore
Just for the time they put is difficult I do not recommend the LFM has another better community and that it does not take so much to be able to play in online communities LFM ,GARBAGE
My suggestion (from someone who has spent nearly a year trying to get the LFM licence), is ignore this guide. Ignore Nils's braking and turning markers. Ignore the licence qualifying benchmark. There are plenty of free set ups available online for multiple cars and tracks, or use the Aggressive Setup. Just go out and learn the track your way. Brake where you feel comfortable. Turn where you feel comfortable. You will learn how to drive Brands the way that suits YOU, and you will get faster without even realising it. Brands GP is an amazing track.
@@tobias2252ight, that approach works at first but then you get to a point where proggress is really slow and you feel stalled. Eventually you will end up needing one of these guides if you want to get your license before they switch the license track.
Why would you comment "ignore Nils guide" under Nils video? What a dick. And to boot, it took you a year to get your LFM license? Anybody half decent can get the LFM license within 5-6 hours TOPS. Weird flex.
Achieving 80 SA should really not take long. The rookie races on iRacing are... interesting. Minimum barriers are fine imo to create a better racing experience for everyone
5.50 per data pack? 5.50 for 1 car 1 track? I paid 10 for the game and you want 5.50 for a set up for 1 car 1 track? And LFM supports this? This has to be the most money orientated community out there. Luckily there are a few decent members of the community that help out with set ups free of charge.
Hey. So, I don't know what your job is, but I'm fairly sure you'd be outraged if any of your customers would expect your service for free. There's no need to become a customer, but if you do, of course it has a price. Any free offer out there just charges differently. Either through viewership (ads) or through the prospect of future earnings. A solely free offer is hard to maintain and it will always come 2nd to more important tasks in someone's life. In order to offer a sustainable service that will still be there when there's a new patch, changes in my life, future games or whatever - money is the key to making that possible. And then, we are not just selling setups. It's a service for everyone who wants to seriously improve their simracing. There's no better way than working with data, it's the number one source of insight for real drivers, too. It took more than a year to build the platform and of course that invested time and money needs to come back one way or another. I really don't see whats so hard to understand about that. LFM as well was built with thousands of hours of coding. They need to earn as well if the platform shall stay online. As for the price tag: it gets cheaper the more you buy. As far as down to 2€ per data pack.
Hey it's not that expensive! In exchange for a kidney, I bought the base, the steering wheel, the game and many setups. With only one kidney you can live perfectly

How often does the test track change and is there an official calendar or an established track update cadence?
they change the license track once per season, which is 12 weeks + 2 off weeks.
@@SimracingPopometer thanks for the update.
Do we have to have sa rating of 80+ on the game too?
I'm not sure. either way it's easy to get that quickly by doing a couple side by sides with the AI without contact

Do you know when the licensing servers for Season 11 will switch over to Brands? What's the time to beat?
it's always "107% of the LFM track record (race)" - which is currently at 1:22.23 - so the target will be 1:27.98 if I got that right.
