114 meg.

 

Are these worth watching? I mean, it's not like you're quick or anything . . . <runs away laughing>

 

Thanks, will check 1Ms3/Vallelunga club replay

edit: I see what you did there @ sc1

 

I'll watch some of those with Muppets tune in the background

 

Oooo fantastic! I will look forward to checking these. Many thanks

 

Very generous - a bold move to effectively give away what to some would be 'trade secrets' to setting the benchmark lap times on certain car / track combos. Many thanks, I will look forward to studying these in details.

 

One thing is watching other thing is replicathing what he's doing.

 

Exactly, my replays look absolutely identical. But my laptime is always 1 or 2 seconds slower. Very annoying!

 

Can't seem to open the files. What extension are they?Can't seem to open them. What kind of files are these? I only get the last didgits as the extension.

 

They're AC replay files. Put 'em all into Documents/Assetto Corsa/replay then load them from the main menu

It's good of you to put these up, Ben. I'll get you one day

 

Cheers for this BenC.

Exactly. Every time I try a combo, I check out a replay. Attempt to do the same, and end up 5-10s slower lol

 

I'm not sure you can learn too much by watching replays. Threshold braking and acceleration, heel and toe gear shifts, you can't learn that by watching someone else.

What I do find is that replays of really fast times usually look really really smooth and so slow. Then I try to do the same and I can't get within 10secs of the time....

 

yes exactly, they seem to brake earlier in some corners but when I do the same I'm heaps slower..

 

I would suggest not even watching the replays if you're far off TBH. I would use it only to see if I make any bigger mistake in a certain corner or to just figure out the technique used. But you can only apply that after alot of experiance and yes, a tad of talent at least...

Just practice alot and rely on the feedback from the car, try to experiment all the time until you find the ideal braking, turning in, accellerating out of corners etc...

Practice, practice, practice and after 1-2 years(as a beginner) you should be close to your ultimate limit. There's 5000 drivers registered on RSR but only 1% if not less hold all the WR's so yes, to be very, very quick it is a rare talent indeed...

 

Its easier to get a WR on less active used cars like Lotus or BMW Z4 I did this on this way^^

@threadstarter: nice videos, but i cant see much difference like other guys already said. So congrats for those times

 

Its kinda nice to have that, thank you.
Im rather bad...ohm, Im bad and I dont want/cant spend so much time to become good, at least not soon, so this can be handy to get better ideas for breaking points, racing line and overall how a good lap looks or how all these tips you get as a not-pro work in practise.

 

Thanks for the replays BenC, i wonder if you do requests?
I would love a quick lap of Imola with the mp4 12c gt3, and it would be super awesome if you could also attach the telemetry file.
It would be awesome to be able to compare to my own stellar driving to see where the most time is won/lost.
Anyway big thanks for the replays you already provided

 

I'd be really interested in seeing that too

I strongly disagree. If you're slow, watch these 20 times with the same view you drive with. If you're really slow, hold your wheel and mimic his steering and pedals while you watch. It will give you a good feel for the line, which you can then go an practice driving on. Usually the biggest issue slower drivers have is not being on the right line and just doing countless laps won't help that if people aren't strong on the theory of what they need to be doing.

It'll also help give a feel for what corner speeds are possible, but only if you have the right line first, car attitude second, setup third.

Just doing practice on your own for 2 years won't get you to your ultimate limit. You need to know what you should be practicing. That's also why I recommend people read a book like Going Faster or Speed Secrets, but most people are too lazy to do that even though that small amount of effort can increase their enjoyment of simracing.

Practice doesn't make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect. A good journeyman simracer will spend some time learning to try to improve his craft rather than just bash away at it hoping for a eureka moment.

A few people have mentioned that he brakes earlier. Turn the pedal display on, most likely he's not braking as hard. If you brake too hard you'll use up all your traction budget and the car won't turn in as well. Being the last of the late brakers isn't always optimal, especially if you're going into the corner with your front wheels locked up. Hopefully you're not watching the replay from an external cam because that can give a different impression of the braking points.
