    Couldn't agree with the point about comparison more. I'll never forget this one time at a test in the UK where my teammate was destoying me in this tight hairpin using a U-shaped approach. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why that was faster than my V approach which made more sense for the corner geometry, so I asked him- he had no idea lol. It wasn't until the track walk later that night where I noticed just the slightest bit of banking which wasn't visible from the car and honestly barely noticeable up close either. I would have never tried that technique had I not seen someone else destroy me.

    I love that this video states some "obvious" facts that we all know but get stuck in the back of our brains a lot of the time. There's not always a complex solution, just little steps I'm between.
    One big thing to go with comparing your driving with others, is to learn how to listen and accept critical feedback. Most faster drivers enjoy helping others if you ask, but expect that they may say something you don't like/agree with. Be open to that knowledge and ask follow up questions!

    I've had two lessons with you. I think you have to be the best instructor out there. Your attitude and patience is outstanding! Your instruction was clear and you communicated visual check points and "feels", which helped a lot. I wanted to take this opportunity to show my gratitude for your excellent teaching.

    I agree that leagues are a great way of improving Suellio.
    I joined the SimGameNerd league for season 2 and have improved a lot and still enjoying myself in season 6.
    Racing against much faster and higher iRating drivers really makes you concentrate on improving.
    If I can improve at my age (66 years) then there is hope for us all. 🤣
    I just never give up trying.

    That advise "let your body sleep on it" is a freak, geez!
    I took this week "off" to lean two tracks. Bathurst and Magny-Cours and was struggling a lot.
    Magny-Cours: I got quite quick to a reasonably fast lap time but couldn't keep myself on track more than 2 laps without spinning.
    Bathurst: The best I could do was 3 seg off-pace than my teamm8s and I wasn't improving day by day.
    Changed my training profile yesterday from 3h Bathurst +2h Magny-Cours to 1,5h/1,5h and let myself relax after and the result today was:
    Magny-Cours: 2 full stints with times within a 0,7sec eachother.
    Bathursts: Improved 2secs and got from maximum 3 laps to 14laps with no crash.

    Wow. Im so glad I found this channel. Subscribed.😊 I'm a competitive chess player and everything you mentioned applies to chess as well. So when you laid out these tips I was like "oh my God, I do all that in chess but not in sim racing which I started 3 months ago."
    I don't want to be super competitive in sim racing but thanks to this channel I will be very efficient in my (awareness-- self analysis-- modify behavior--make it muscle memory) improvement loop
    Thank you very much

    I really enjoyed these tips. I think I used to do a lot of blind practice just hoping to improve with time. For the past year I've been using VRS to compare my laps to and see where I'm losing time. However I still can't close the gap as far as I'd like

    1:59 Doug Chandler crashed his 500 GP bike (I think in late '91) but he didn't know why. That killed his self confidence & Barry Sheene said it took months for Chandler to get his confidence back. Doug did get it back & led the race i was watching at one point in a re-aired race from 1992 here, on his #10 Lucky Strike Suzuki.

    5:00 said in an interview that he was frustrated that Freddie Spencer could go so fast at the beginning of the race b4 the tires had warmed up. He told himself he was going to either keep up w/ Freddie or crash. he discovered that if he pushed the tires really hard the first couple of turns the tires would heat up very fast. There-after he could keep up w/ Freddie at the beginning of races. (of course if he gone fractionally over the limit he would have lost tire grip & likely crashed bk he couldn't respond in time))

      both would work well, the course is a more complete textbook and the sessions are consultations to identify where you should prioritize your practice. Coaching after getting the course is much more productive since you'll already know my concepts

  • @ccramit

    Yes. The blind lap is a killer. I use apps to compare my laps with faster drivers and always have a goal in mind when practicing. Whether it is changing my line, what gear I'm in, or braking/accelerating points, I always have something in mind and am always experimenting.
    Blind practicing might be fine when you're at the top tier and just looking to find consistency, but when you're slow, it does not help you progress at all.
