The feeling of doing this in an actual car, going fast on the straight, slamming on the brakes and rotating the car into the corner with a tiny amount of steering input, is the most satisfying feeling ever.
@@ThatSByou are supposed to slide, the rear is supposed to slide but controllably to get the rotation done earlier in the corner so you can accelerate sooner
@ThatSB it is infact a replacement for steering. There's a reason it's called "getting rotation" or "neutral steer"or, maybe most telling, achieving the "tires slip angle". Think before you speak.
@@precesionnoreaster1507 i agree except for slip angle, slip angle isnt literally the tires sliding. its the difference in angle between the contact patch and the direction of the car, due to the fact that the contact patch and rest of the tire are angled differently
As you improve, so will her opinion of your driving. I've been simracing for 20+ years, and one thing that eventually becomes permanently engrained in muscle memory is that smooth is fast. The better you get at managing weight transfer, the smoother your everyday driving will become, and the happier your passengers will be. Use your daily drives to improve smoothness, use your sim to train speed, eventually they subconsciously meld together and you'll be winning online races.
This, using rotation to your advantage is key! A lot of people mistake it for drifting and pisses me off lmao, thank you so much for explaining it in such an easy way!
There's a difference between getting rotation from braking and getting rotation from spinning from braking. The rotation you want in trail braking isn't spinning out. It's a perfect balance that turns the car more than your steering, WITHOUT the car sliding.
@gomilopez1 no, trail braking is not the same as 4 wheel drifting, or optimal slip angle, which is what yall are describing. Trail braking is simply hard braking with slow release of the brake to keep the balance on the front of the car, not to make it slightly slide...
I race 911 cup cars (not carrera cup yet, prices have gone up a lot to race since covid. This is a alt account) and its so much easier to trail brake irl because of the g forces. You can really feel the momentum off the car with brake control. You’re letting go of the break in correlation to the momentum of the car in the turn to balance it out. I like racing sims but I can’t trailbrake as well or even race as well because I just like irl experience. Sucks that its mad expensive. However sim racing in mandatory nowadays for sports-car racing, so I have to get through it. . I will keep on trying this, thanks for the advice!
It’s super interesting how sim racing has become such an advantage for drivers who always sim raced prior to real life racing vs the other way around. I’m sure with enough time on the sim you will get more and more of that advantage but I can understand how it could seem counter intuitive for a while. It’s just fascinating imo.
@@lumntoob999 it helps so much with muscle memory. I think thats what most pro drivers use it for. Braking points become instinct on the track and I don’t even have to think about it
This is basically the same for drifting too, when you feel your back end uncontrollably start to slide out if you pull the handbrake just a little bit it can give you a better angle and can prevent spinning out
IRacing Porsche GT3 R took my trail-breaking to new levels. Once you hook up a lap with that "feeling" of being right on the limit there is no greater satisfaction.
For sim racers, I feel as though you learn this on your own. I make it slide by slightly over gassing out of corners. I’ve learned it accidentally basically; just trying to be a tad bit faster out of corners
this is a major part of motorbike riding/racing wheather on street or track. keeps traction on the front wheel allows extra grip through corners allowing you to travel faster though the corner
In a racing game i purposefully poweslide due to a bunch of advantage like slightly higher entry speed, will make sure you wont go off the track and eliminates understeer
Actually no if u break normally then as u release the break then tap the gas it raises your front end correcting under steer from to much pressure on the front tires and allows u to maintain soeed through the corner
All sim content creators always go right to trail tips when in reality when driving you should focus on mastering threshold braking first. Nice tips tho anyways keep it up!
@@nicolasoliveira4903 trail breaking is a real world racing technique brought over to sims and other arcade racers. ( a Twist of the Wrist by Keith code 1983) usually you'd be right that games are not the same thing as real life but when a program such as iracing here is used by professional drivers to prefect techniques like trail breaking that would usually be to expensive to train in real life you have to wonder.
I can do it on Asetto Corsa, I can trail braking pretty well to get more rotation, even with an F1 car. But in F1 22 I just can't get rotation with braking, no matter the track or the setup. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. No assists. I end up with even more understeer or I lock up the front tires.
I think I accidentally did this irl, I was going 120 in a 50kmh zone, a car crosses from a parking lot into the left lane, I brake really hard but I wasn’t sure if the car I was driving had abs (Toyota mr2 Spyder) car starts diving a bit to the right and I feel the rear getting loose so I lower the brake pressure and go into the right lane and then go back left after the overtake
I do this in my car all the time, I did it at an intersection cause I know the light has a quick cycle and I had just gotten the green but was at risk of missing it and it a 3-5 minute cycle. I was on the phone with a friend and went “OOOOH THE TRAIL BRAKE” and he was so confused but I flew through that intersection way faster than I had any right to for how tight it is.
Damn we used to just floor it and go sideways then practice driving gas and brake simultaneously, pushing gas more and more each time and learning to feather the brake with it also to give better tyre control, found out later this was something to do with torque and traction feedback on the wheels or something... then heard about something called heel toe driving or heel toe braking or something, i dono just B.L.A.T race dude... Brake Late and Turn
Bro, I use the radio beep sound as a notification and I had to replay the video couple of times cause I kept switching apps checking for notifications 😂
Oh so that's why my friend keep telling me that i'm too fast in the corner. We usually cruising in hill area in my country, it is quiet street with a lot of fun corner. We usually did that in the evening or night. Like dude, i don't even know that the way i brake is trail breaking. All i know is that when i brake while in the corner, the car is more balanced and easier to control. That's all.
Okay, that's cool and all. But what if I'm on a crappy set of wheels, I ain't got no thrustmasters or those high end pedals to use. Call me broke, but I'm using a pxn v9 as my wheel set from the wheel to the shifter to the pedals. The pedals in particular, use potentiometers to track input from the pedal movement, so I can't achieve that kind of accuracy. To top it off, it can be extremely wobbly if the potentiometers aren't in the good mood. They'll just be jerking up and down ever so slightly and I can't get that 10% pressure. So how? What are the alternatives for me to at least improve even if I have crappy equipment
I unconciously do this lol coz I was wondering how f1 drivers go through a corner fast which I learned this by chance after trying out their racing line
Non related, but in a lot of different cars I end up trying a lot of ways to do that last corner and neither of them is too comfort to me or significant faster than the others
hi, i have a little (no aero car) question: when I'm between 20-40% brake i can definitely feel the car wants to rotate with 1° of steering (good) but when i'm above 60% brake it feels like it just understeers or lock up (bad) before I see that nice rotation, the brake bias is set in a way I fully brake on a straight line and it barelly locks up the all 4, 90ish% won't lock, the problem is the beginning of trailbrraking, I can't get "brake rotation" above 60% brake pressure, I don't know if my brake bias is too much ok front or if I should pass fast through that part of the braking like almost skipping into the "sweet rotation spot" before even turning the wheel or if I'm doing something wrong
I accidentaly did my (old) fastest lap with bad trailbraking like this, made the rear step out and the front turned right into the corner then full throttle out, but never managed to do it consistently. Now after seeng this I literally just beat my fastest lap by 5 tenth lol.
So while the car have centrifugal force in its center by adding one more on the rear you make a faster turn...but this degrades tires faster on rear or not?
This will just make you slower in the long run instead try slowly building up your speed instead of going over the limit and then slowing down its gonna make you inconsistent.
Nah, we brake straight, then use throttle control, to push the kart forward in the direction its facing. Given karts don't have any diff, it will pull itself easily forward, so just a little angle slide is enough to do corners. As for karts with 6-speed transmissions, sliding is only done by accident
When full pushing I take every corner just barely on the edge of oversteer, by utilising trail braking and rolling back on the throttle early is that correct or not?
The feeling of doing this in an actual car, going fast on the straight, slamming on the brakes and rotating the car into the corner with a tiny amount of steering input, is the most satisfying feeling ever.
This isnt a replacement for steering... you aren't supposed to slide. It is about body rotation
Agreed also this type of drifting is WAY better than ‘real drifting’

ur stupid
Espacially safe arround schools. They have great turn most of the time.
@@F1L337 especially right after 3:00PM, if done properly you'll get home in trailblazing time.
This is fantastic advice for when you really need to get around that adoption centre in record time
And try at max speed to start with then gradually slow it down
I spin out every lap. I think I’m on to something!
😂
Bro, same, I am clearly driving on the sharp edge
lol 👌🏻😂
😂😂😂😂
SAME
My wife already complains I'm driving differently since I started simracing.
Constant screaming and stuff?? yeah ...
do you keep spinning out purposely? LOL

You have explained trailbraking better than most guides out there, good job!
This is probably the best explanation for trail braking that I’ve ever heard. Other explanations haven’t made it “click” for me.
This, using rotation to your advantage is key! A lot of people mistake it for drifting and pisses me off lmao, thank you so much for explaining it in such an easy way!
4 wheel drift, slipper angler
I use this technique when it's a sprint or at most a 4 lap race, it really puts a number on your tires especially when they're warmer
There's a difference between getting rotation from braking and getting rotation from spinning from braking. The rotation you want in trail braking isn't spinning out. It's a perfect balance that turns the car more than your steering, WITHOUT the car sliding.

FINALLY SOMEONE who explains it in an easy way :D
It helped me in gran turismo 7 and asseto thanks a bunch!

This was the best training method o have found. Bless you for sharing this knowledge!
this is a major part of motorbike riding/racing wheather on street or track. keeps traction on the front wheel allows extra grip through corners allowing you to travel faster though the corner
thank you so much. you are very helpful
but that also depends on the sim you are playing and driving assists that are active
Deadzone or saturation adjustment usually work better than actual foot inputs .
On a wheel and pedal setup? No
Perhaps you should continue to explain why this method is faster and how it should be utilized depending on the turn.
I started doing this in GT7 naturally because the car would rather lock the brakes than actually be useful. 😂
In a racing game i purposefully poweslide due to a bunch of advantage like slightly higher entry speed, will make sure you wont go off the track and eliminates understeer
In Switzerland we have a mix of setups so it’s really interesting seeing the two setups race together
Actually no if u break normally then as u release the break then tap the gas it raises your front end correcting under steer from to much pressure on the front tires and allows u to maintain soeed through the corner
The new corner by corner practice mode Kunos announced today will be in Assetto Corsa EVO is going to be a GODSEND for practicing stuff like this.
Ah, I've been doing a lot of sim racing. In the NSX on the touge, I always spin at first then dial it back. Cool trick, never knew what I was doing.
Kinda similar to how optimal running is basically constantly catching yourself from falling lol
It’s becomes super useful on ff cars with heavy under steer
My automatic instinct to drift at any corner says otherwise
All sim content creators always go right to trail tips when in reality when driving you should focus on mastering threshold braking first. Nice tips tho anyways keep it up!
Bring the brake bias up in the front and get on the throttle earlier on exit. Same result, less risk.
I do this at the end of the Lemans straight
You create a decent gap if you are being chased
done that in reallife now... my engineers are flaming tho and saying thats not how i should do it.... who should i believe
Game is not the same thing as real life.

Also dependes a lot on the car
Trail braking or spinning?
Gosh this short keeps appearing since i bought my t300rs and every single time i had the urge to play it right away 😂
One of the advantage of sim race
Did this with a Evo with a custom ayc. Any Sim will never replicate that feeling...
Like the great Mario Andretti would say it “If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.”
I can do it on Asetto Corsa, I can trail braking pretty well to get more rotation, even with an F1 car. But in F1 22 I just can't get rotation with braking, no matter the track or the setup.

Street tracks
Drive slow and get faster
Road curses
Drive to fast ignore tracklimits and go slower untill your car is stable and your laptime faster👍
Finally something I'm good at
i thought this was real life for a sec and said “fastest way to get kicked off the track”
The feeling when you do it irl without meaning to is code brown worthy

So while the car have centrifugal force in its center by adding one more on the rear you make a faster turn...but this degrades tires faster on rear or not?
Looking forward to see a F1 drifting event 😂
this is what Mazepin was trying to do in F1 but no one gave him a chance to improve.
I use the Aryton Senna technic he use to feather the throttle in the turn so it sounded something like burrrp burrrp burrrrrrrp
Okay, so now how do you try this in Nascar? I was on the sim and having such a tough time on this road course
I spin out at every corner unintentionally 💀
Lucky for you, I spin out even on accident
So what you’re telling me is… drifting is the fastest way to go around the corner 🚙💨
instructions unclear, i drift through corners now
This will just make you slower in the long run instead try slowly building up your speed instead of going over the limit and then slowing down its gonna make you inconsistent.
No wonder mazespin got his nickname he was tryna find the limit nice

"secret training technique " LMAO
Be doing this in my stock subje all day
Tried this in public roads I think I’m getting it although I keep getting yelled at
This is basically what I do in BeamNG
Pro tip one of the easiest ways to improve lap time is driving faster , thank you !
which is done this way
Literally spinning in every corner 😂
To add: this won't necessarily work on every sim and every car.
Thats very useful
"If you're spinning out you're a slow driver", yes! That's because the downforce needs you to go freakishly fast!
Or you could do this, but try and save it at the same time, so then you learn to catch a slide too!
Imagine doing this with the Isle Of Man racing course
Only works well on medium dry-superwet tracks
Spinning using accelerator only on the exit of the corner on purpose 😁
Spinning by just using the pressure of the brakes 💀
When full pushing I take every corner just barely on the edge of oversteer, by utilising trail braking and rolling back on the throttle early is that correct or not?
Watch a couple videos on how to turn a go kart using oversteer, will help you understand
Trail braking irl on motorcycles. Only way to go fast
Goatifi was right all along
I can definitely spin, no sweat HA! 😂
I think I did that on Nordschleife in AC and I basically slingshot thru the corner with a heavy Nissan GTR... I was like... BUG?
MOUNT PANORAMA!!!!
I love when I do this but don't actually do it on purpose lol I gotta learn how to be more accurate
You need to say also that you wanna try do it without the throttle aswell
