Interesting article with formula renault 2.0 driver severin austerschmidt

Using the brakes to get the nose into a corner isn't unusual, obviously as the weight transfers forwards, the front tyres pick up grip.

 

Oh my bad, but how ever. Can't hurt to see some techniques that was mentioned.

 

Yeah, that's different.

The "simracing" technique aforementioned is basically hard on the brakes with a hefty amount of throttle still applied to keep it stable.

In the Ricky Rudd video, he lightly stabs the brake to make the car turn better (cause stock cars), in simracing they use the throttle (sometimes up to 50%) to keep the car stable on threshold braking, effectively "fighting" against some of the rear brakes so they don't spin because of their funky setup.

Now hopefully it's clear enough

 

As I'm annoyed by that technique and not at all convinced it is widespread IRL I hope we are both clear enough.

 

TBH I haven't seen nothing like this anywhere unless skip barber, never ever over somewhat a 20% from anyone in anything else. It got to be a big topic for something virtually non-existant.

 

You haven't been in the iRacing golden days then. Used to be pretty common.

 

Some footage where I'm overlapping throttle and brakes for purpose because I'm running almost 50/50 brakes and keeping the engine "alive" with the throttle.

 

Great!
But what about circuit racing?!

 

Not using this technique on circuit racing. One guy in our AC league likes to use this technique (learned from the ISI-titles, he said) but its not working well in AC.
