xQc DOESNT understand that driving with a racing line is like driving in your city with a google maps GPS, you would never truly learn the streets just like you wont learn the tracks in iRacing.
I don't know what @may-K-47 is talking about but this is not a good analogy. At the end of the day it's better to use GPS than to be completely lost. Also I think you guys forget that xQc doesn't even have a drivers license so he's not even in "his city" he's in a completely foreign country going from not driving at all in real life to trying to race in IRacing. If he was playing with someone else then they could show him the lines but if he's playing by himself it's fine to use racing lines even if their not efficient.
Definitely seeing improvements! Appears to be getting better at racing with others wheel to wheel. It seems like he's having fun which is all that matters.
While I do see his potential and his improvements, I am not seeing him have a raw feeling for car control. To be clear, I ain't one of those crying haters who can't stand him use a racingline to learn a track. A racingline is a tool and isn't always the reason for mistakes or bad pace. But he should turn it off as soon as he knows where the track is roughly going. It truely is an obstacle for him in this way and doesn't help him improve anymore. Losing control in those first laps and not doing anything at all to correct the oversteer just shows how little feeling or confidence he has in car control. This goes hand in hand with turning off the racingline. As he has to become more confident to push a bit too hard and know how to correct and learn the limits of the car. He has to prioritize car control if he wants to actually make big steps.
You can tell that on his last lap, he stopped pushing and just tried to keep it calm and smooth to finish out the race, and until the last corner he was basically matching his fastest lap time. There's a lesson to be learned there. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Real race car driver here: 1. You need to turn the driving line off. It's okay for doing your first couple laps around a track you've never done before, but you have to find braking markers and turning markers and make your adjustments. It's just not accurate enough to rely on. 2. The lap where you went flying off the track is because you came off the brakes too early. You braked on time, but you came off the brakes before you'd slowed the car down adequately. 3. The pass you did was reasonably well executed. It proves you don't need the driving line! You outbrakedy our opponent, didn't go flying off the track or dooring him off. You could have braked a touch earlier and not have climbed up the track quite so much, it'd have been better, but it's a far sight better than most iRacing rookies. The MX-5 Cup Car has fairly severe cold tire effects. The car doesn't have tire warmers in real life (or in sim), so the tires need a lap or two to warm up (more like 2 on a short track like this) so you need to take it easy on the outlap. That's why you start drifting so hard in turn two - you need to be like 5mph slower than normal to keep that from happening, which feels absolutely glacial when you're used to taking a turn at a particular speed. Keep practicing and the improvement will come.
when you hear your tires scrub on the first lap out of the pit lane, youre only heating the outside surface of the tire. you have to do normal, not fast out laps so that the whole tire is heated properly. The heating model in iracing is sort of weird with grip levels when theres a temperature difference between the inside and outside. thats why youre always drifting on the first lap out of the pit lane.
Day 15: he still hasn't turned off the racing line. I continue watching him try to follow the line and mess up almost every corner. I don't know how longer I can keep doing this. Send help. SOS
@@EdBateso he can actually learn how the cars handle and be on the actual limit (the line is not always the fastest and the braking zones are all wrong)
yeah i also think he should re assign the clutch as the brake pedal since the logitech one is fucked. Its probably too sensitive rn so if he tries to trail brake he ends up just spinning out. he needs to buy a new setup which I think is warranted given he's been playing more
tbf one of the fastest guys I know right foot brakes, its all in the technique. Granted, I'd bet he would be even quicker if he learned to left foot brake
People can right foot brake and still be top 1% pace wise. I don't get it and they make me sick but they definitely exist. But I doubt Felix could be one of them lol
yeah he's using sequential shifting so he has no need to heel toe. It's funny, someone in the chat in one of the earlier clips was like "I bet he uses both feet." Not a racing fan I guess lol
if you ever read this comment, the last 2 corner u leave the foot away from breaking, just take away some throttle, while you do that turn your car in the prefered direction (happening in 0.5 - 1 sec) and go 80% to full throttle
I've never liked racing lines even for learning a track. A simple braking point marker is way better because it doesn't make you tunnel vision like a racing line does. You end up looking through the turn instead of staring at the line.
the braking mid corner is what causes the ass end to step out, trail braking isnt bad but too much brakes while turning with no throttle will make you spin
You started drifting because you dabbed the breaks whilst turning and you had low engine revs. Breaking loads the front end giving your fronts more grip, lightens the rears giving them less grip. Low revs = low engine breaking meaning your rears are spinning with minimal resistance and in this case effectively tried to overtake your front. Learn to steer with your feet if you want to go fast
dude needs to stop GRIPPING THE PADDLES holy shit it drives me insane he can't even hold the fucking wheel correctly, all of his force to turn is using his thumb and index finger pinching the wheel
He needs to learn how shifting weight balance affects the car. He's wondering why he's sliding when he's letting off the throttle mid-corner, and the answer is because that creates lift-off oversteer from the weight shifting off the rear wheels.
Good job man, keep it up, remember tires in Mazda mx5 are very slippery until warm drive like your on ice! Keep going. The long turn off the straight away patience thru that curve by next season you’ll have the tracks down. It’ll be muscle memory
i tell people all the time you cant be flicking the throttle and brake between 100% and 0% that's how you set the car out of wack. slow movements on the pedals. don't let all the way off the gas either keep the load to the rear on corner exit.
T1 is difficult on Lime Rock, I’ve ended many races there, keep it up XQC, remember, consistency wins races, not speed (a little bit of speed too perhaps!)
Dude turn the racing line off bro, you're not using all of the track. Your letting off the gas just to stay on the line when you have SO much track to use
Yoo, nice progress! Trust your chat and comments and turn the line off! I know you will hate it - we all did - but after less than an hour you will get used to it. The racing line is pretty bad, it doesn't even feature the correct braking points and it messes with your attention. It will make you faster and more consistent when it's gone. Turn it off and make us proud!
Turn off the racing line. Do a few laps slower than you know it needs to be. Find the sections you can increase speed. When in doubt be in a lower gear than you should. Again, turn off racing line. This is painful
Alot of these comments are so bad. Use the line until you learn tracks is FINE! XQC, green means go, you did a lot of lifting on green lines. You are safe for full pedal. Orange means lift. Also try to not turn in so early and try to get right foot down as early as possible on corner exit.
Playing racing games with automat is the lamest thing ever. X should get a shift stick and learn how to drive properly, aka learn how to use the clutch. This ain't F1, you aren't going 200mph.

He is like a horse with blinders on, just mindlessly following the line not knowing what comes next.
Worst thing about the line is he’s staring at the ground 5 ft in front of the car instead of the apex and exit curbs
xQc DOESNT understand that driving with a racing line is like driving in your city with a google maps GPS, you would never truly learn the streets just like you wont learn the tracks in iRacing.
the line its even worse than gps
wahhh wahhh wahhh wahhh
It's useful for learning tracks. I'm 2200 iRating and I still use the racing line whenever driving a new track.
I don't know what @may-K-47 is talking about but this is not a good analogy. At the end of the day it's better to use GPS than to be completely lost. Also I think you guys forget that xQc doesn't even have a drivers license so he's not even in "his city" he's in a completely foreign country going from not driving at all in real life to trying to race in IRacing. If he was playing with someone else then they could show him the lines but if he's playing by himself it's fine to use racing lines even if their not efficient.
He’s a few weeks into the game. I think he should continue using the line. Idk why everyone keeps saying this. He’s a beginner.
Definitely seeing improvements! Appears to be getting better at racing with others wheel to wheel. It seems like he's having fun which is all that matters.
Most sensible xqc viewer
He already quit bro
*See title* "Oh nice, let's see how much he's improved!"
0:50 in: WHY AM I FUCKING DRIFTING?!!
Same, as a rookie MX-5 Driver i was looking to improve by watching this lol. My mistake.
he drives and brakes with one foot still xD
Braked mid corner while steering
for racing beginner the mx5 is fkin insane XD, took me a month to start liking that ice skating package
While I do see his potential and his improvements, I am not seeing him have a raw feeling for car control.

only coming back to check if he took the line off
The amount of bad advice he gets from chat is crazy. I bet only a few of them actually know what they're talking about but it's like 1/1,000 at best

why would he turn off the line?
@@EdBateso he can actually learn how the cars handle and be on the actual limit (the line is not always the fastest and the braking zones are all wrong)
@@zack_whom lol the line is perfectly fine to use as a reference for new people. He's no where near the limit.
he needs to give up the "letting off the gas and stomping on it and letting off again" tactic
it's because he follows the line too much, he honestly should just get rid of it.
@@DabDabGoose thing goes like this, he turns line off, spins out, turns line on again
That's called "getting freaky with the engine" also known as "edging the combustion chamber".

for sim racing you need to be left foot braking, didn't realise he was only using right foot for both.

People can right foot brake and still be top 1% pace wise. I don't get it and they make me sick but they definitely exist. But I doubt Felix could be one of them lol
@@landonmurray3814 yeah but it's basically adding difficulty for no reason.
I right foot brake. It taught my patience and not always immediately jumping from brake to gas. Makes you slow down the input.
yeah he's using sequential shifting so he has no need to heel toe. It's funny, someone in the chat in one of the earlier clips was like "I bet he uses both feet." Not a racing fan I guess lol
19:30 ABSOLUTE CINEMA
when he turns the racing line off hes going to be fucked 😭
He should stop using the line
we've seen it with his ex. Dude cant stay away from his bad habits
he's rich enough to hire a modder to screw with his monitor and display the [REDACTED] far in the distance so he has a goal to reach
@@silent5 scp ahh comment
this made me understand why people crash. Not even the slightest attempt at counter steering xD

Yeah, and I'd say one of the biggest thing is that the real racing line won't be the same for all cars anyway.
Love to see the Iracing arc. If anyone is considering getting a wheel and trying iracing its so worth it, so much fun
as soon as the race started he trolled
iRacing has been THE BEST content since peak 2020 GTA RP. Seriously.
gta rp was the fall of xqc u mong

Surely it's content bait.
xQc getting "better and better" at videogames is the equivalent of multiplying 0 by 1, 2, 3, 4... Guess what the result always is.
dude needs to stop GRIPPING THE PADDLES holy shit it drives me insane he can't even hold the fucking wheel correctly, all of his force to turn is using his thumb and index finger pinching the wheel
bcuz his attention all on that LINE, not the track neither the corner lol.

Nah, the title gets more clickbaitey than before... mf ain't getting better until he turn off the racing line...
The first thing you do is stop with that line. Find you're refrance where you brake. The line is for losers.
Its impressive how far youve come, I think the next step is learning about lift off oversteer and to not downshift into high revs mid corner
Good job man, keep it up, remember tires in Mazda mx5 are very slippery until warm drive like your on ice! Keep going. The long turn off the straight away patience thru that curve by next season you’ll have the tracks down. It’ll be muscle memory
The line is still on 😵💫
The line is hurting him more than anything. I watched those track guide videos like him they aren’t hard to remember after the first race.
Iracing tire model at its finest 😂
there should be a big Kappa in the thumbnail to justify this title
driving line is the evil
for some reason its only first corner that he takes so badly every single time
i tell people all the time you cant be flicking the throttle and brake between 100% and 0% that's how you set the car out of wack. slow movements on the pedals. don't let all the way off the gas either keep the load to the rear on corner exit.

so satisfying to see a noob dedicate time and effort to improve. and then improve.
Yeah, he's getting better at following the racing line, not racing in general
Time to remove the racing line Felix
He did more mental harm to other people with his racing than Ava Kris Tyson did to anyone by edgy jokes on discord 💀💀💀

that racing line is killing his progression
I only keep watching this videos to see if XQC eventually turns OFF the racing line lol. Nope, not yet!
11:20 i have no words, get your driver license please

@@freekoupons9531 it ain’t that deep son
Dude turn the racing line off bro, you're not using all of the track. Your letting off the gas just to stay on the line when you have SO much track to use

i tried to replicate in asseto on pro setting and was really pushing for a sub 1.02.5 time, i got it but mine felt way faster, is asseto slower?
differing track temperatures and conditions can make a big difference in lap times
@@gman890 and since it was a custom map i sure it was sleightly diff scale
sense of speed depends on your FOV mostly.. you can determine proper FOV from a FOV calculator online.
Yoo, nice progress!
Trust your chat and comments and turn the line off! I know you will hate it - we all did - but after less than an hour you will get used to it.
The racing line is pretty bad, it doesn't even feature the correct braking points and it messes with your attention. It will make you faster and more consistent when it's gone.
Turn it off and make us proud!
Im just waiting for him to get into the Endurance Cars or the Single Seater B class runs
You might be waiting a few years for that then
Does he race with single monitor or triples?
gotta turn the racing line off
he needs to turn brake zones off the driving line
I need to use both my foots??
yes both of them.
dude stop blipping throttle so much through the corners, thats why you are sliding
if only he turned off that damn race line man

a month later and still using racing lines
no way he improves further with that shit on
mediocre IR redditors can't manage to not have mental breakdown when they see someone use the racing line lol
he needs to learn trailbraking and to stop throttle pumping. He watches videos mentionning those but he doesn't practice it
What is this glazing
If you ever fancy a coaching session let me know! Could make for a good video, and I could definitely help get your lap times down ;)
Turn that fucking racing line off
needs to start using both feet so he can control revs when braking. anyways, grand autismo
cold tires 😩😩😩😩😩
