I owned one of the beetles the parts came from. The rear suspension has one pivot point on each side as the axles come out of the transaxle. When you lift or unload the rear the wheels go positive camber. When you load the rear their camber goes Negative. My trick is to throw it into understeer and back off on the throttle let the rear rise, and go positive camber, then when pointed at the exit, nail the throttle which makes the rear go negative camber and bite in. You steer the rear with the throttle. I saw by your face you figured that out about halfway through. 2nd and 3rd are way too far apart to use, stick to 3-4. It's fun, but I think you can learn bad habits for other cars. My transaxle was a 1960, it had a chunk of graphite for a throwout bearing.
Driving without his usual tasteful livery suggests this car isn't the only thing that's a bit rusty! Using a manual gearbox adds a nice bit of jeopardy, but it's another polished performance!
Go on Dave, that was brilliant, thank you. Would you mind doing a video on your main channel about heel toe and how to successfully and efficiently use an H-pattern in iRacing, and specifically cover heel-toe and how you do it? I think this car and the Mustang are the main ones that use H-pattern. Speaking of which, you haven't driven the Mustang yet. Will have to do some research to see when the high SOF Mustang races happen but it's (a version of) the car you drive in real life!
Great race! But why do you say you're not good with the car, but are able to comfortably sit at the front of top split? Are there cars you are genuinely off the pace with on tracks you know?
Dave is a great driver no doubt but in this car is very forgiving when running in a pack. You can be .5 seconds slower than the car in front of you on pace in clean air and still comfortably stay within the draft.
Love the Vee. Once you get the hang of it and get in a good split, it’s magic!
It really is!
Dave's shifter is a paid actor
You gotta love races like that. That was some good stuff. Nice and clean. Thanks for the content.
Well, that was good fun!

Didn’t even know the VEE had a second gear 😂
great battle on last laps 👍

really nice race bro !
I have had a blast in the vee's this season. I'm probably going to get deeper into them next season
Just started Iracing and the vee is so much fun, after watching this I definitely see why I’m spinning out now 😂
I kept on holding my breath 😅
Please Dave for week 6 RADICAL AT CIRCUITO DE JEREZ! It's so fun!
Oh that sounds great!

Pretty much anything with down force 👍
@@davecamyt I think it's only fair we see the W13 at some point then... 😂

Hell of a race! Have to say I hate the Vee though haha
