Very helpful, thank you for this, it has been costing me so much time in corners and I couldn't figure it out just like your student. Stuff like this (aimed at rookie mistakes etc) is not readily available amongst smirching gurus so thanks again. Earned my sub.
Perfect timing. I've been struggling with this myself in the Ferrari. The other thing is to heavy on throttle exiting corners. Need to break some bad habits. Great video 👍🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👌🏾
That’s great to hear it helped! And yes, any time you go deep into the traction control it will slow you down. However, issues with throttle application are usually a consequence of the earlier stages of the corner. Try to see what you could improve on corner entry and mid-corner to make life easier on exit.
I wondered why this had only 2 comments. It was literally posted 17 hours ago! Addresses what I suspected I was doing wrong. I brake 100% into every corner, every time!
I am failing to implement this trail braking technique on track, even though It's been a year since I knew about it. For me, It's like, taking control over natural reactions. I drop the brake, quickly in order to move the foot 🦶 on throttle pedal. Im using a load cell brake.
You definitely should use your left foot for braking in sequentially shifted cars, it helps out a lot. It will feel unnatural in the beginning but you'll be so much quicker after adapting + it enables you to properly trail brake.
As I understand it, the last issue he touches on with under while turning the wheel too much. That's happening. Another thing you can do is to lower the brake bias so that the trail braking is even more effective in turning the car. I'm always trying to find that balance of minimal wheel input needed to turn while still having a reasonably stable car throughout the term
A buddy of mine thinks that ABS slows a car down faster than what’s humanly possible and will take it to the grave. Even though he races with it on and I race with it off and I almost always win.
Bro what were those settings?? Wheel strength of 32 with a force of 2.5Nm! Wheel range set to 272* with a mapped range of 360*. I really hope he wasn't driving like this for long, no wonder he was frustrated!
I really dont know what to do anymore with sim racing. I never get better. I love it, but am not sure how loing i should basically waste my time and feel a constant uphill battle that leads to frustration. 1 corner i brake and fine, next i do same and spin, struggle with trail braking etc etc etc etc. Just getting closer to finishing with it, or give up on sim side for arcade.
@@derblaue Yes and no. I’ve driven many sports cars irl that HATE being in abs and are even more exaggerated than iRacing. With that being said I’ve never driven a gt3/4 irl but I have heard that you can lean into the abs quite a bit with those cars. So similarly to iRacing it’s different for every car
@@connorbellracing I'm talking about racing spec abs (and tc). The best reference I have is Jimmy Broadbent comparing the new M4 GT4 in iRacing to the real car. About racing cars with not so high end electronics you're absolutely right.
@@derblaueJimmy Btoadbent isn't a top IRL driver. It might be faster for him. Even James Baldwin admitted when he reviewed the new McLaren on iracing that the braking was better than ACC where you can just mash it and he prefers ACC. It seems like where you want to be is just around where ABS kicks in. That way you aren't micro locking but you are still at the max level of braking.
Great video, love it if you got rid of those flashing yellow words, their flashing frequency makes them offputting (TH-cam already has great subtitle features, or perhaps do a sentence at a time). Seriously though, great video.
@@annone-yl4hz I never recommend adding a dead zone in your pedal settings. Not only does it reinforce bad habits, but you’ll also be creating new ones. Similar to hitting abs, you may not be able to trailbrake correctly due to you still being at a certain percentile (as recognized by the game), even though you’re reducing your physical pressure on the pedal, if that makes sense. It’s hard to explain over text. But also, some surfaces/cars/corners may allow you to go to 100% brake pressure without hitting abs.
I have 1 question, i like the cars, how sim racing feel through steering wheel even with Logitech(cough), now am realy horable with time , not matter if i race against AI or MP, i cant win, even 1 race, am play mostly AC and ACC, however even the easiest diff is hard for me, so when i see an improvement of 2 sec, i have a feel that i dont have so much nerves to do hot laping thousands of hours/lap just to get faster 2 sec, i know practice is key but should i quit?
if you enjoy racing and playing the game, just keep going bro. if you really wanna quit you'll quit. just enjoy the journey, learn along the way and you'll improve over time. as you gain experience and knowledge, you'll know whether you want to keep going or hang up the sticks
Dont engine break to hard as you'll blow your engine...😮 I set my break pedal for each car. Usually around 70% - 75% to help stop lockups at high speed.

The best trail braking explanation I've seen, great job
Absolute legend for sharing this, thank you for the free knowledge.
@@dim_jean No problem. More coming!
Sir you deserve a lot more subs, great video 3 min in and i am already learning as an intermediate chasing alien times sim racer.

Having the correct equipment settings is crucial for good laps on iRacing. Great vid!

@@SpookyRipples9 as the first reply suggested, you need to be left foot braking! It will solve lots of your issue with trail braking

Throttle rotate the car alot, but breaks rotate more I agree
3:59 That's just an iRacing thing. IRL in GT cars they are just mashing the brake like there is no tomorrow

Maybe whole longer sentences instead of words
Great to see you have a new video!! Sub'd for more :)
Thank you sir! Going to be posting a lot more for the rest of the year
Should engine braking be used in flat/fast corners?
Would adding 20% (for this particular example) dead zone top also help?

@@phillhatton4492 The Ferrari has downshift protection, it won’t let you blow up the engine. But some cars like the MX5 you do have to be careful
