Go faster. Basic driving techniques at Game&Track YT channel

I wait for such setup-tutorials too. Perhaps if Aris can teach me what all this stuff is for I will develop more enthusiasm for setups. Till now I don't use individual setups at all because I only have fun with driving/racing.
For guys like me there should be a "virtual mechanic" who does the setup for me and who pumps up my tires to the right pressure. So that I can jump in and start driving/racing.
So I'm more interested in videos about racing line, reference points (like Aris first video) and driving techniques (drifting for example) than setup-videos but I like getting surprised. Perhaps one day I will spend more time in the garage than on track...

 

Nice Aris Much appreciated Thx a lot!

 

Great Video Aris.
Hope you will find the time to make a few more.
I'm looking forward to learning about car setups from the man who knows

 

Nice video for people who do not have figured these things before. My problem more is a lack of consistency, and I simply am too careful, too cautious in driving, always playing it safe. I lag behind Aristotelis in that car on that track by 2 seconds - compared to his very first attempt in the video, 1:15. I'm hopeless.

A video like this, dealing with the not so ordinary car setup options beyond tyre pressure and tyre choice (stuff like camber, springs etc., toe in/out) would be appreciated. But i also assume it might be more difficult to do and illustrate things.

Thanks for doing this vid!

 

This is a helpful reset for those of us who spent a 'little' time on the basics before focusing most of our time on setups as the means to overcome all that sliding, diving, squealing tire driving that slowed us down . I decided to test my skills by driving this combo as I normally would. I could not break 1:16 no matter what I did. I watched the video several times, absorbing the racing lines, when he got on the throttle, what gears are used for what corners etc. Fortunately, this track is a good one to learn quickly due to its short length and few turns. After two sessions of 5 laps, I broke below 1:14 with Pro settings consistently just by following these basics.

What this does for me is to open up the possibility of becoming competitive on more technical GP tracks where I really struggled and was frustrated....Nurburgring GP, Silverstone GP etc. Thanks for reminding us to first build AND maintain a solid foundation before moving to the next level. Your channel is now up on my fav list.

 

No! You can always go faster.

 

@aris could you add this thread to the console lounge as well?

 

1.12 mark is reachable with few practice laps with the same setup as Aris tried, below that laptime is really fine driving. There are some 1.11 laptimes i've seen on RSR leaderboard.
I setup a server with that combo, look for AC_Uruguay_Argentina

Aris tips really pay

 

Was able to do 1:12.5s on default setup and 99% grip, might have another go and see where I can improve.

I think normally I'd be further away, but as it happens Silverstone International is one of my go to test tracks, so I know it well.

 

I don't want to hijack this, but Street Fight will run M235i on Silv. Intern. on saturday or sunday. ( not sure yet)

I think I've gone to 1:11.8 or so, default setup and only the tyre pressure adjusted. I guess it could settle down to low 1:11's, maybe even 1:10's by the really fast guys.

 

Just an OT technical thought: A 1080p/60Hz video of 41 minutes uploading with 0,8MB... must take a serious amount of time!
That's one reason why I only upload short videos very rarely (apart from lack of ideas ^^).

Nice video btw., quite interesting, subscribed!

 

Are you going tu run standard fix set up, like Aris did?

 

Either fixed or slightly modified. atm I'm thinking of fixed to default setup and only allow pressure adjustments. (we might use the M235i on other tracks, so I leave that open; and now I've missed my race )

 

Yes! Done a 1:11:8, took quite a few laps but got under 12 in the end! 99% grip with stock setup, fuel would have been less than 30l though as it was about 10 laps in or so.

Next lap I somehow was 3 tenths up on my delta, lost it all though and gave up Its the corner onto the Hangar Straight (quite bumpy) that seems to be hit or miss for me, sometimes I feel like I've got a great exit but my delta goes red, and vice-versa.

Can get back to modding now, Aris distracting everyone from their work...

 

You got a good clear way of explaining things Aris. If you wouldn't be doing physics for a racing game maybe you could have had a career in front of the classroom.

 

Hi Aris quick question you mention just using your right foot for brake and accelerator but while watching the pedal app I noticed in most turns they both are on sometimes, is this heal and toe? I would love it if you can put a camera on your pedals and watch you work. Thanks again.

 

I've copied the OP to the console lounge.

 

Maybe it's the throttle blip of automatic cars!?

 

Great video with cleanly explained tips and a good amount of technical information for beginners, congrats!
You should pin this video (and the upcoming videos, hopefuly) to AC's launcher and create a driving academy section .
