I find that a lot of newer drivers struggle at this track, especially during the race. They try to push the car too much on corner entry and end up seriously compromising their exit, or they out-brake themselves and go off. My advice to them is to back up their brake markers and focus on the exits. You can give up quite a bit on entry and still be quick and consistent overall by making up the time on exit. It's one of those fundamentals that a lot of people gloss over, but it can be the key to good results at a tricky track like Snetterton. Nice track guide. You might want to add in a little slow-mo at key points like brake markers and turn-in spots. You tend to zip through a little too quick. Just my $.02. Cheers!
Yes, so easy to overcook the entry. And thanks! I always appreciate the feedback, I'll keep it in mind try to slow it down a bit at some key moments ;)
I’m finding it absolutely Impossible not to lock the front wheels up, even with just 60% braking. I’m noticing you’re hitting 100% braking at some points and no lock up 🤷🏻♂️
could be a couple of different things. first of all you lose downforce as you slow down so peak brake pressure should only happen at high speed. also, any amount of steering (even very tiny inputs) will unbalance the weight across the front tires and several reduce grip of the inside tire. if this doesn’t solve it you could try lowering the brake bias % to shift the braking force to the rear tires. 👍

Great guide, although I was holding my breath all along because your tone is so dramatic haha
Haha thanks! Still trying to find my voice a bit ;)
