The mind punt is something I've learned quite early in my sim racing career.
I learned it while reading Alain Prost's book, where he called it "Intoxication".
Been my main weapon when it comes to passing people for over a decade.
I was in rookies not to long ago and whenever I knew that the person Infront of me was slower and was dangerous I would fake to the inside and they would completely miss their braking point and go of. it still sometimes works in c class but the drivers a much more consistent.
I’ve noticed this too when I reached C class a few weeks ago
The best tactic is just to stay in their rear view mirror. Stay on their ass and keep putting pressure. They will inevitably make a mistake.
Wait for them to miss their braking point because they were being too agressive due to your pressure, or because they were too distracted looking at you in the mirror.
What I love about this channel is nobody else posts about this stuff. Thanks Suellio and keep up the great work!
Just for reminder : if you don’t specially target the fun but more the competitivity, target the speed. I know a lot of people that focus too much on racecraft and ok against that are slightly faster than them it works well but what do you do when you are a guy that is 2s a lap faster. So this is cool for getting fun on short term, but it will not make you guys faster on pure driving, focus the hotlap session guys and train.
@SuellioAlmeida ive watched most if not all of your videos since plateauing while racing with a group online. Every video has helped me improve in some way, then i bought your book. I am taking each page to heart and i hope to buy any other books you release. Gaining tenths because of you sir, thank you
Thanks for the tips, cant wait to try them!
Good Info. Love, the step by step instructions.
The mind punt is so effective i love it. Works best in that awkward moment when you just catch someone and they dont know yet if you are trying to play their mirrors or gonna send a reckless divebomb. If someone dont fall for it after a lap or 2 you know you will have to make a real move though. Defending it is a skill in it self too because there is that element of risk. You will have to asses quickly will this guy punt me if i shut the door or no. After couple corners you should know and feel more confident to turn in.
Thanks man, lovely video, I really needed this 👍
Just Brilliant. Many thanks. Your book is Superb reading!!!Together with your videos, thank you so much 🙏
This is one of the videos i was most lokking for. How to be close BUT SAFE in a breaking zone this helps me so much thank you!😊
Btw you can counter tip #2 when someone goes to the inside Force them to go all the way to the inside of the track and then at the very last moment move towards the racing line. Their reaction time to your move wont make them get close to you and they will leave much more than a car space so you can switchback them on exit
And if they try to follow you they’ll probably blow the braking and overshoot it . I do this too . Gg
@@TheEloim_ yeah good move lol
Wow you are a great driver and coach thanks for the tips
After 22 hours at the ACC, thanks to you, I made progress and increased control and safety. *My friends laugh at the fact that I was practicing all the time in Monza:)
Just ordered some Simagic P1000’s which are gonna be my first load cell pedals. Already setting constant top 2-4% lap times every week so hopefully the pedals will help and make me improve so much more. I also got your book for Christmas so gonna apply certain braking techniques once the pedals arrive so I build them into my muscle memory for load cells and not for potentiometer pedals.
You're getting deeper into the rabbit hole! No way out
From experience (not with load cell but hall sensor and stiff springs in t3pm vs the stock t150 pedals) you'll probably be slower for a while. Took me about a month to relearn how to brake with more force and control the trailbraking properly.
Instead of extra raw pace, it actually made me more consistent, as your muscle memory more easily remembers pressure applied than distance. I'm now able to pretty comfortably do a 5-10 lap stint with most laps within half a second of each other. So don't give up even if it feels like you're starting from square 1 again.
@@ieurobeatkids9378 ok thanks for the advice. I’m using the t3pm pedals rn as well with the stiff spring so will see what happens when they arrive.
@ieurobeatkids9378 nice but I will say one thing. Muscle memory remembering pressure easier than distance isn't true. It depends on the person. Just like you have visual,audio, feel learners etc
This is also how you know how hard you're braking in your real-life car. If you're stopping for a red light, you judge the distance from your car to the light, and then adjust the brake pressure as necessary. You probably wouldn't be able to tell someone the distance you pushed the brake while stopping, but you could probably say what amount of strength you were putting into it.
I can add on, decided when to pass and when not to. You need to learn what passes have a high % chance of success and what does not. ie. If you aren't even halfway alongside the other person by the start of the corner, assuming equal skill and no outside circumstances, you, likely, aren't going to complete that pass. The same can be said for a chicane if you aren't fully alongside if you are on the outside or halfway alongside if you are on the inside. It reminds me of a recent race I did on Laguna. On the last lap on the final corner, I was on the outside but was maybe only a quarter of the way alongside. I squeezed the other driver, went to the right to use all of the track. braked early and waited, passed on the inside while holding more speed for my exit because I simply waited to attack and made them take a bad inside line on a sharp corner. I even had to brake a bit to prevent myself from rear ending him but it all worked out in the end. Tactics like that are what will get you ahead. Planning your draft and using draft zones etc. are what will win you races. It's another reason why when I realized I was fighting another good driver for pole, I quailed in second specifically to draft them on the first lap and take the lead. It was intentional and I withheld information about my true skill level while doing it. Think of racing like chess and you'll perform much better on the track :)
Great advice perfect exactly what I needed just started racing gt3 so. This helps alot
Another one I would add is if someone passes you that is a faster driver work together with them to move up the field and if you can keep close enough you can quite often catch them off guard if you go for a move on the last lap. Did that a couple of times in the 86 series
Tip #1 is the most fun & satisfying when pulled off
I have written notes for all your videos lol. at the start of writing the notes I told myself that I had to read it everyday, but now that would take an hour and a half lol so I can only do it like 2 - 3 times a week
Lets go
Thats the content we need🎉
Your effort and growth throughout these past few years is so inspirational, before you used to say, "I'm a professional sim racing coach," but now your saying "I'm a professional driver and coach. along with bestselling author." It's truly beautiful 🥲
I WANNA CRY
Yep. Content like this is what's going to make you a household name in learning how to race.
@@SuellioAlmeidaI got questions will tactical will help me on gt7 like I want battle by side by side
Thanks for the video. What about defending taking the corner in the opposite line to have the interior?
Motor Racing Checklist 1 an 2.0 totally worth it!!
These have been super useful tips, thanks a ton! Your channel is a good bridge of knowledge in the chasm of skill that is iRacing.
Also to add onto the braking when following someone, you need to brake as soon as their lights come on to not hit them, not brake where they did. It sounds weird but you need to predict where they will brake and start braking at almost the exact same time. As stated in the video, you are likely carrying more speed, thus, you need more time to stop + dirty air. If you don't brake about a car length earlier, you'll probably end up hitting them.
Another thing you can do is move a little bit towards the inside, so you're no longer straight behind the other car. That way you get better vision, so it's easier to gauge the distance and what the other car is doing, as well as some margin of error. It's much easier to avoid hitting them if you're a little offset. As an added bonus you might mess with the opponents head, and having him look more in the mirror than the road ahead.
isn't this called like the concertina effect or smth? I know there's something that explains it and it's the reason accidents happen so often on the first turn of a race.
Thanks for your job, your videos, and your book! I've just started to read it, and regarding the v2.0 of your course, Is there an interest to join the course in addition to the book I already have?
Very true! The good question, however, is how do you protect yourself against these mind punts?
the superpower is really difficult to handle as a defender. But I found out I can cope with them relatively well. I look in the mirror ca. 50 metres before my braking point, then focus ONLY on my braking point and after that, I try to catch the car behind via the mirrors on my peripheral vision. It's still difficult to judge if he's going for the move or not, but in this way I can guarantee to hit my braking point. I hope I could help someone who wants to defend better against this
Much love from India! Is any psvr 2 under works? I couldn't find it on your channel..thank you!
Could you do a 101 video on turning off the racing line? I feel completely lost without it and have no idea where to even start driving without it
True driving skill comes from understanding physics and some just get it better then others. I have that skill but never got to test it due to being disabled with back issues.
6:05 that laugh was evil
I sympathize with your smile when the mind punt works. One more tip maybe is learning to read the opponents. After you raced for a while you can learn many stereotypes and make better and faster decisions on track.
I do #1 while driving on the street/highway to get people to do what I want and get out of my way. You can manage traffic on the highway if you drive right and do things that people notice and understand
Hey bro, awesome videos! Much love from Canada 😍 you rock! You say you coach sim racing, is this something anyone can join and pay for !?
Yes! Check www.suellioalmeida.ca
ayy nice.
I want to buy book. Where I can find it?
This is racing gospel! Preach!
Let's goooo!
Are there any up and coming racing coaches that you would reccomend? I would love your coaching but it is out of my price range right now. I would love any advice/help i could get.
What are the odds you want to coach me and start a zero to hero styled series? I want to hire you as my coach to teach me from the absolute basics to a decent sim racer.
I just got my first wheel today and have been trying to get use to racing with a wheel. I’m just a regular late 20s guy with a 9-5 who’s trying to get into sim racing. I’ve played high level competitive sports all my life and feel like I’m super coachable and learn fast.
I think it would be interesting to see what you can do with your experience in coaching with a racer who has zero experience.
I did a mind punt thing in a GR86 race and the other driver was so angry 😅 i did it on the last lap in motegi to get a podium
The important question here is, how do we prevent being a victim of the mind punt?
I noticed your website in in USD. Do you have Canadian pricing?
In the F1 series. The racing is a little different. If a car goes to pass me on the inside. I go over with them and squeeze them to create that very tight line for them. And not let them back towards the racing line. I can't see a car coming to hit me bc there is no rear view in a F1 car. You just have to hope they hit their braking point.
Love to see you drive a v8 supercar and do a video on it
what is better - earlier lesser braking vs lift before braking, when following other car close?
imo lesser braking, I see a ton of the f1 drivers doing it (if the tv telemetry for brakes is accurate) in practice it feels like you're setting yourself up earlier if you brake a lil instead of coasting. but it's also situational
Suelinho podia colocar as legendas em português, meu chapa!
what is the deal with half foot on gas when doing corners?
It’s such a good marketing strategy because I’m literally 2 seconds off pace of the aliens on ACC 😂. Well hot lapping anyway, in racing conditions I’m more like 3 seconds off.
What app do you use to draw?
Microsoft MS Paint
thanks
@@SuellioAlmeida
Good way to build racecraft is dirt oval. lots of shit happening all the time lol
Damn those two passes around the 6:00 to 6:33 mark 🔥🔥🔥🔥
After being pushed off wide i always try to be on the inside of battle
Bro id making me understand without a racing sim😭😭
Unless you are Max Verstappen i wont listen to this video.
Sorry I didn't hear you
@@SuellioAlmeida ok np

Man, this music is just like so loud in my brain, I can't hear your voice. I think this type of videos are much much better without background music
