I have watched many track tutorials since I started with iracing. This is absolutely the BEST. Very professionally done. Please make more!! I would love to have a copy of the replay too if possible.
Hi Jamie, I've uploaded the replay file for you on our website. It's at the bottom of this page. www.paradigmshiftracing.com/racing-basics/the-racing-line-track-tutorial-iracing-mx-5-lime-rock-park-57649
Turn 3-4 is where I lose a few milliseconds. So difficult to do that right. I also feel like I could shave off a few milliseconds by keeping higher RPM into turn 2. I started iracing yesterday and this improved my time from 59.3 to 58.0. Thank you so much for the perfectly explained track rundown!
Thanks Adam for creating this! Great that you incorporate iRacing. Makes it so easy (and feasible) to practice this myself. If you could make one on Laguna Seca, that would be fantastic. Because you go through quite a few examples of corners around Laguna in your books.
Thanks for the video, I'm new to Iracing and have been consistently running 1:00 laps on this track. Hoping some of your tips can get me down a second or more.
Regarding turn 1&2, after apex 1, why not use less braking or coasting with engine brake so that we don't need to apply a little throttle to meet apex 2?
That may or may not be ideal if this corner was done perfectly, but inputs are not preplanned. A driver gets to the point they are paying attention to the vehicle movement and constantly updating their line and inputs to give the best possible result based on their current situation.
@@ParadigmShiftDriverDevelopment I watch all your reference laps of Lime Rock. It seems that the controls are similiar. Their horse powers are much different, so I think the controls should be more different. Can you explain more?
@@r88522726 The biggest differences you are going to see is on slower corners where a higher horsepower car will be wheelspin limited and therefore oversteer limited on exit and need a progressive throttle application whereas a lower power car will be going to full throttle at the apex.
It's not a good idea to focus on whether or not a turn should be taken without a lift. The difference in times between taking a corner without lifting and having to momentarily lift right before the apex is almost negligible. What's most important is going to full acceleration at the proper apex. In fact, the fastest times through this section are done when a lift is needed for 4 and 3-4 is a chicane. Many drivers try to make sure turn 4 is done at full throttle but that unnecessarily compromises speed through turn 3. This turn sequence is right on the edge between a full throttle corner for turn 4 and a 3-4 being a chicane. So try not to worry about what other drivers are doing. Just follow the rules and optimize the corners for your current level of car control skill. If you run wide for turn 4 it means you need a later, slower apex there. This means 3-4 is a chicane so follow your chicane rule and optimize the apexes together. As your car control skills improve you may start to take turn 4 at full throttle and then as they improve even more it may go back to becoming a chicane. It may change back and forth from lap to lap based on your exact performance.
The best and most practical tutorial I found so far. Please make more!
Cheers mate! Just shaved another half second off after only 5 laps! Down to a 58.0 now :)

Just what I was looking for after having trouble finding time at Lime Rock. Thanks for doing the whole lap tutorial.

Holy! This actually worked for me. Thank you Adam.

Glad it helped Brad, we would definitely like to do more tracks and Laguna would certainly be near the top of the list.
Thank you for this video, I'm a beginner and have been having a tough time consistently hitting the Death Star trench run.
lmao i thought this was on chicane and I was BLOWN away
OMG! Thank you! I concur with what was said below me....iracing needs you to work for them! I hope one day I can post a 57.anything at Limerock!
so useful. great tutorial. thank u
very useful. thank you very much!
Thanku for this i needed to know where the line was at.going in sep
This is super useful
And I'm happy in 59.609.... -_- FML

Dude fantastic video
Are you going to continue making videos? I really appreciate the effort you have put into your content so far and I'd gladly enjoy more of it.
HI Joshua, it's possible. We're really focusing on getting track notes out right now.
lovely guide and great presentation, earned a new sub from me
wow what a vid
It's my 2nd day of using a wheel, also 2nd day of playing iRacing and I get a 57.864 on stock setup.

You didn't tell us your Left foot braking at turn one lol
I can’t do turn 4 full throttle it just understeers off the road but every vid of line rock I see gets taken full throttle any idea why?

default set up?
Yes, default setup
Thanks for this god, i hate Lime Rock xD
Too bad it does not show the setup he was using it.
This is Adam, I always use the baseline setup for all reference laps.
😱😱😱😱👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
