the fact that is not impossible to one day race against Max Verstappen online, is SO FIRE. Of course, I only drive ACC on a gamepad... but hey, this is what dreams are made of
When max is activated he is just unstoppable, this is top split, and while the odds are in his favour (week 13, plus his wet experience prob still higher than iracers), it's still crazy to watch.

I noticed the same, all his time was made in the braking zones. also a tip for braking that I just learned , If the car has downshift protection just smash the downshift as soon as you start braking, I gained like 0.200 a lap and it makes the car more predictable. Also watch Max's downshifts he does the same .
As shown with Max (and I've kind of been noticing this in iRacing in general) because you're so much slower due to the rain, with rain tires equipped and without the track being super-ultra wet, the braking reference points are roughly equal to where they are with dry tires (on a dry track). Braking pressure is going to be much less than if it was dry (especially for non-ABS cars), but you can start braking at roughly the same point.
@@codecodderson3607 Yes.. Same ''exploit'' could be used in rfactor back in the days... It would shave lot of time that way.. More front brakebias and engine braking on smashing downshifts
@ Yes Max can drag a tractor to a good finish. That’s not the point of my comment, my point is if Max was in the Mclaren he would have won every race since Miami. When Max has the best car he wins every race, when he has a good car he wins a lot and when he has a bad car he still wins here and there.
I'm at like 700 in road cars, it's awful. I need to choose between SR and Irating, and 90% of the time when I pass someone they get angry and hit me off at the next corner
No he doesn't dumbass. He was stuck in 5th until two racers spin themselves out. There was a lot of better cornering displayed by "them" throughout the video, so he was given a run for his money but had consistency more than anything.
Kind of ironic how he drives a mclaren in this video. Btw. he did the best rain performance in a simulation and in a real Formula 1 car. He is simply lovely the GOAT.
@Box-tl2390 True... I played iRacing myself for like 5 years but quit because of this exact reason. I like driving the Porsche back in the day. Is it a valid choice to drive it again if I choose to play iRacing again?
As you can see he isn‘t using the ideal line but is often one car width off at breaking zone and apex. Also in wet the highspeed is lower. But it‘s also important to train without abs in the wet, to know what the tires are able to handle while breaking.
That dude is bloody fast. Insane driving. The lines he takes seem so illogical and unnatural to me as an amateur and yet the dude is flying like a space alien. Like WTF bro.
11:00 I thought MAX was really professional in the way he put the pressure on in turn one.And his exit speed out of the corner was wonderfully fast. Those who get to race with him will be lucky.
@@Linkan2002yea, just driving perfectly at the limit. I would guess his sim gear gives more info than yours, idk if motion, but def full tactile force feedback pedals, top shelf sim base, lots of screen real estate, real life experience, so many hrs driving at the limit competitively makes you good at it.

In a straight line when you are fighting for position he practically closes the way even taking the other car against him. the wall, if you are his opponent you either brake or have an accident...I only see a driver who thinks he is alone on the track...I don't dispute that he is a great driver, but I only see a driver who plays dirty and he apologizes for being aggressive.

Its a textbook way of Max driving in the rain. See how he doesn't spend much time on the racing line for most parts of the lap.
