Glad to see so many amazing comments and how this video has helped you guys.
Side note about “The 24” gloves… they will be launching in April most likely. I will have an insanely busy racing season ahead so I want to make sure I’m home for enough time to be able to help out with the production and launch.
Congrats on the 2 rolex24 titles!! Looking forward for the new gloves, they look cool if thats what you were wearing in this video
Well thats makes it so much better to understand, @danielmorand i watch a different video from a different channel and all they say go is so slower. But even i know theres a point of being to slow, to being dangerous. Thank you for the video i will apply this to my style and practise it. 😊
I think "Carving the corner" for trail-braking is one of the best explanations I've heard...always cool to learn from the pros.
Thanks a lot! There’s a lot of good info here. I’m sure there will be a few take aways from it :)
I really enjoyed this video, I’ve known about trail braking and always thought it was best to be on throttle as early as possible, now I see I may be getting on throttle to early and I really think my trail braking needs smoothing out. And I think I’m still to hard on the brakes initially and braking too late. Pretty much everything you can do wrong I think I do 😅Thanks for the video, a lot of good info here. Going to be saving this one for sure.👍
2x! Congrats my guy. As for the vid, I always thought you were supposed to hit the brake fast and hard right away and ease off...I'm learning that, that coupled with early throttle application I'm actually over driving the car, instead of focussing on being smooth and listening to what the car wants, and not what the book says. Thanks alot Daniel, and congratulations again from a fellow Canadian!
You said it's basic stuff reasonably frequently, but sometimes having the basic stuff explained well gives me a new and better perspective on what I'm doing or meant to be doing to do a quick lap.
I hope you don't think that anything is too basic to share. It's all really helpful.
Good video, Thanks
indeed! a bit different angle and a whole new understanding
cheers morad!
'You always have to think, where is the weight going on the car.' The best line I've heard in a long time.
It’s just that simple. Driving a car doesn’t have to be complicated.
@@danielmorad But it is if you overthink it and do the wrong things haha
The two time coming in hot with some great tips that should help anyone, even if it's just some reminders.
thanks legend :).... also, fish
Dr Disrespect would be proud
Unfortunately not a back to back blockbuster video game champ but still not too bad
@@danielmorad Blockbuster is old news. Daytona is forever.
I love the gloves with the Rolex on them. Congrats on the win! It was cool to watch the race in person
thanks so much! The race was epic dude.
is this rolex glove for sale or will be in the store?
did I miss these gloves? Were they on sale on moradness?
@@BahnBuhl Not till April from what I've heard.
Love the content from the two-time! This channel is criminally underrated, it's second to none when it comes to the correlation between real-life and the sim world.
Thanks a lot. We are only just starting on this CZcams journey. I’m sure we will grow the community the more we drop videos. Thanks for supporting from the beginning.
You’re a legend learning so much! Making more sense actually watching as you explain. I’m defo pushing to hard under braking..
Take these tips and work on your driving. Enjoy the new speed in the next sessions on track!
After 2 days of driving and testing this way of breaking, this is a whole new world for me ! I can't thank you enough, this changed my entire way of racing ! 2s faster on all tracks, no more tire wear, improving
my lap times during the race, more calm, more precise inputs. Cheers !
That’s incredible!! It’s such a simple thing but so effective. Imagine how coaching sessions go lol. We take drivers from novice level, and bring them up to elite level.
Congrats ! I understand the technique, and ty to apply it, but it will take far more than 2 days for me to be able to do that .
bro i swear your advice was a lightbulb moment, "light early braking" is gold. wtf didn't i think of that?? Thank you so much!!
My pleasure! Glad this tip helped out!
@@danielmorad can you make a video on opening up corners/lines and why it makes you faster? i know it all comes down to maximizing the track but i would like to know more details because i see some top drivers really push track limits(sometimes into the grass) into a corner just to carry more speed
When I first heard the concept of brakes not stopping the car, but rather controlling the balance of the car a light bulb went off in my head.
Also, it feels so freaking satisfying to nail the balance of the car through a series of corners like sector 1 at Suzuka.
My lap times changed totally when I understood how to turn the car with the feet. Great vídeo, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
My pleasure. Hope this helps you out a little more or you can share the info with a friend to help them out.
Congratulations! I noticed in an onboard with you during the race that you were definitely lifting and braking earlier than the car in front of you. But in every corner you came out faster than the car in front. Not too much later, you passed them. I don't remember now who was in front, but I was struck by the difference in driving styles. You looked smoother and were definitely faster, despite braking earlier. Watching that and now this explanation has been a revelation to me. Thank You so much!
Fast out beats fast in.
In order to go faster, u have to slow down so u don't over drive and lose the time u thought u were gonna win by "going faster everywhere"
Good luck this year Daniel
And car balance class is in session from two time winner Daniel Morad. It’s a great reminder of how much more you can accomplish with well-timed use of the brakes compared to mashing the throttle.
Keep the great content coming Daniel!
"Two-time" Congratulations on your second Rolex 24 victory! My braking style: Usually too late, and very hard, trailing off into the apex in AC & ACC. Console only, so no iRacing. Thanks for another informative video, and keep them coming!
I typically brake too early and light, so I slow down too much. Some practice to come! Nice video Dan!
So then it sounds like you can more the whole process deeper into the corner as long as you don’t get too much balance shift to the front when you start to rotate the car.
THIS IS THE #1 MOST IMPORTANT LESSON! If everyone took this to heart, we'd have a lot more 5K drivers on iRacing.
Absolutely. It’s easy said, hard to be done. It’s a process but everybody can do it.
I think we all prefer the late hard brake drivers who don't change their brake point even with traffic in front. 😂 Ram it in there Johnny!
I slow the car down too much on entry as I'm not able to carry "all the speed" and then feel like if I don't immediately go on power I kill the lap. On slow corners I fatigue even more. Beautiful to bring speed with control. Such a zen experience.
I've been having a helluva time with the GTR on Kyalami. This might be just the video I needed to see what I'm doing wrong. Thank you!
I’m sure it will help you to a certain extent, but the breaking technique is a little different than what it will look like in this video. You are most likely driving ACC you will definitely need to brake hard and with more sustained pressure. It’s more of an arcade style braking technique
TWO Time champ, incredible. I've taught myself to brake late and hard but thank you for the lesson. I end up scrubbing so much speed it's impossible to make up on the straight even if don't run wide. The tip on coasting is invaluable and definitely relieves some pressure. I play GranTurismo.
Before watching this video, I was practicing in the Ferrari around Okayama. At first I was over driving massively but then I got a mid 29! I know a lot of guys and gals will be quicker, but boy it felt great. Then, I get this video as a suggestion…. Perfect timing. I was initially coasting, braking too hard, and late and too early on the throttle. This video help me understand what I was doing and how I improved. Many thanks Daniel 😊👍🏾👏🏾
Congrats on the win Daniel!!! Looking forward to cheer you and Wickens on at the Glen this summer. Canada represent! As a LONG TIME race fan and new sim racer, love the channel.
Awesome! Thanks a lot and see you at the Glen
Distance and initial brake pressure has always been second nature to me however, I’ve always struggled with the release. This may be a horrible technique but, I time the release of the brake on corner entry in sync with the amount I’m turning the wheel. It’s less like I’m steering with my feet and more like I’m just using the wheel and the brake pedal connected as one. This has worked well for me so far, and is how I learned trail braking but maybe I’m loosing time. 🤷Any thoughts? Always looking for ways to improve my driving technique. Started sim racing around 6months ago. Thanks.
It all depends on how much grip you have from the front tires. If you are breaking too deep and killing the grip in the front tire by breaking too deep into the corner and just dumping off the pressure when you turn in, you won’t carve the entry.
Huh. Never really thought about this, thanks! Certainly will start adjusting and experimenting on the virtual track.
I hardly ever oversteer which I now know 3 things carrying too much speed into the corner, braking to late or to hard and maybe on the gas to early thanks Daniel really appreciate your help
My pleasure. Glad this helped
A couple years back, I did some lessons at Manuel Dorado's Escuela de Manejar and an instructor simply known as "Colonel" taught me the life changing Brail Traking technique.
Joking aside, what I have learned from you has been monumental and has forever changed my driving for the better both on the sim and IRL. Thank you for all you do and for the detailed and amazing content. How about next year we try and make "Two Time" into "Three Time"?
Awesome, thank you for the insights!
Such a good video for explaining how to balance the car. I was always taught to imagine a piece of string connecting the steering wheel and the accelerator, too much throttle/steering angle and the piece of string snaps and then you’re going to lose grip/traction.
Watching you kill that D24 was amazing Congrats!! Was rooting for ya the whole way and felt like a real connection with you as a fellow iracing fan. That last stint was flawless!
Thank you so much!! Huge win and amazing to bring all sim racers along for the ride
i generally just overdrive the car by way too much for the first few laps of a new car or track, then dial it back to a smooth lap once i know the limits of the track surface and the car/setup. generally gets me 2-3 seconds within a pro ish time after about 45 minutes to an hour. being self aware of what youre doing wrong is the hardest part of improving, so having a seasoned driver as a friend that you can compare with and ask for immediate pointers really helps. as long as you can stand their snarky remarks😂
Very good explanation with excellent showcases! Many thanks 😊
Nice video two-timer. 😉With some cars I tend to use a fair bit of "maintenance throttle" (10-15% maybe) mid corner to help the balance. Unloads the braking demand on the front tire, transferring available grip in the friction circle to the turning component and also reduces likelihood of the rear end coming around as it shifts a little load to the rear tires. If done right it feels as if the car magically turns a tighter radius for the same speed.
Saved! As a favorite!
WOW. This was such an eye opener.
WE WANT GLOVES WITH WATCH DECALS! Also congrats on your recent win Dan!
Daniel, perfect as usual, thank you!!
Enjoying these educational videos, thanks! I'm a beginner, and I believe beginner tendencies are to brake hard, late. This video helps me(beginner) to understand that it's not one-size fits all. Like your comment, control the car rather it controller you. Awesome contents.
Two Times
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the explanation on this topic! Well done, i think it’ll help me a lot in my driving on track
This is such a brilliant, helpful, well-structured video! Thank you!
Great, I already had an idea of this, but your explanation was sensational. Thanks.
Great video again, nothing like a "master class" to open your eyes.. congrats on the win!!
Congratulations on the Daytona 24 win. Thanks for another great video
my pleasure. Thanks so much!
Thanks for all the info it help me understand better what’s going on when I drive the car. 👍
As a “just starting out” sim racer these videos are gold, now I know why my corners are too slow, thanks Daniel
Glad you like them! Enjoy the journey :)
Always cool and informative to learn first hand from the pros. Congrats on the win!
2x keep up the great work Daniel. Your videos are on another level.
Getting ready for Sebring...my home town. 👍👍
going to be an epic weekend
@@danielmorad if they let you off the track should come down to the south Sebring Publix come back to the meat department and ask for the assistant meat manager...👍👍
I understood the trailbraking before but the lift of the front when apliying throttle was so good to know for me. It will improve my driving now that i have it in mind
Absolutely fantastic video. You do an awesome job braking down the different approaches and exemplifying them.
Thank you for this video...been working on these tips for a while and seeing results in iracing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure! See you on iRacing :)
Great video, Daniel. Great tips and advice from the 2X himself. Please do more of these.
Great Video Daniel. These tips videos are fast becoming required watching for any sim drivers! Mario Andretti's quote about how drivers think the brakes are for slowing the car down really drove it home for me. Keep 'em coming. Much love from NZ
I’m working on all of what you are talking about I feel slow at first but start to get faster as I work on this technique. Thanks for the help
2 TIME!!!! Awesome video. Just what I needed. Camera angles are very beneficial. Great content as always. Thank you!
Keep up the great work! This is the video that made trail braking finally click for me. Now I can induce both understeer and oversteer at will. Thank you!
Nice watch! Hadn’t seen your channel until I was at the 24hr and my friend told me about you and then I got to see the win! Great content 👏
Always practice good braking technique. But what you said about backing up the braking point is something I Always do when trying to gain time or learning a new track. Good entry gives a fast exit!
I agree with this video 100%.!! Thanks for the video!!
Great tips! Congrats on the win at Daytona!
"Two Times" Congrats Daniel. I haven't watched the race yet, busy with other aspects of life at the moment, but will watch with greater interest now knowing you and the Winward crew were successful. 👍
As someone who started in rally sims it turns out my breaking is absolutely horrible 😂 great video, extremely helpful
Glad to hear it!
Congrats on the two times! I watched as much of it as I could, it was a good run! I tend to brake early, usually too early, and power through the corner. But that's probably why I have a pathetic iRating. Thanks for the content.
I track my 911 quite a bit and have learned to love trail braking. Thank you for your videos it’s great to hear a humble winning pro driver talk technique both on the track and in the SIM.congratulations on Daytona I watched most of the race and was pulling for you!
Great video and great explanation. When I started my sim racing journey 15 years ago it was fundamental to brake 100%, coast into the corner and apply throttle as soon as possible to have a nice exit. All through those years my driving style was very aggressive and many times I was losing grip without properly knowing why. In the past years I saw this tradition to trail-braking technique, even though was popular among racing drivers but without understanding the meaning of it; it was like a secret special ingredient. In past years (youtubers, guides etc.) no one was talking about steering with your feet.
Wow, this one drove it home about the balance. I am good one for being too aggressive with the throttle from the apex out. When I do as you say, back the brake point up and lighten up on the brakes, times drop quickly. Where I noticed this happening is the first several laps while I am warming up the tires, I am conservative on the brakes and throttle and my times are great. Once I start hammering the course, well, the hammer breaks the time. I agree, sometimes coasting helps settle the car. So, my next week, I going to work on ramp rates on the throttle and lighter pressure and brake points. Congratulation on the 24 hours and the GT4 race. We were sitting in the first turn throughout the weekend and I studied how you hit the mechanics of the turn every time - Good stuff.
Thanks a lot!! Glad these tips helped you out.
Two time, fantastic win. Great content as always Daniel. I'll admit my technique used to be overly aggressive. Your content is great because you break it down from a physics standpoint with data. Makes it easy to open the eyes for guys like me instead of just telling someone to "go by feel". Keep up the good work, hope for many more fine performances. I also have to give a shoutout to your stellar line of gloves and apparel , love the stuff.
This is the single most important video that have seen for driving on the sim. Before this one i was breaking hard from all the other tutorials coz of which the car either did not feel safe mid corner or the rpms dropped way too much for a fast exit. Gained upto 2seconds on most tracks i am practicing. Thank you Daniel. Also, am so happy to see a fellow Canadian doing so well in he Motorsports world. Go team 🇨🇦 🎉
It wasn't that you said something I had not heard of. This was just put together in a holistic way that was very helpful. Nice work!
Daniel this was a fantastic reminder video. Forcing me to go back to the basics and treat it more like a real car and not a video game car. Thanks for sharing. And yes I've been steering the care with my feet ever since the great Mario Andretti talked about it at INDY.
Great video, I can't wait to apply this tonight. I was trying to change from Hard in and early out, and you explained things perfectly, Your videos are always great.
What a GREAT video! You obviously put lots of time into this, and it shows. Wish there were more out there, as well made, with this level of quality in explaining things and presenting them - makes a HUGE difference to someone quite new to sim racing like me. Very appreciated. Thx, mr 2-time!
Fantastic advice, Daniel. I recently bought a rig and a Simucube 2 Pro. Loving it but I’ve a lot to learn! Thanks. Subbed 👊
Thank you for this explanation! It helped me visualize what I should be doing versus what I am doing now. Can't wait to put it in practice.
Great Stuff! Love your content. Digging those gloves!!
Hey fellow Canuck, thanks for the awesome tips! I've seen my pace improve thanks to your tips and even rig/seat/wheel/pedal setup videos. Congrats big time on the 2nd Rolex 24, I was cheering loudly for ya at the end, my man! Great job, holding off the Ferrari. I have to pick me up some of those neon yellow Moradness gloves/socks soon...👊🏻
Amazing, thank you! I love this kind of videos!
Especially that now I'm getting into the AMG GT4 on iRacing and trying to tame the AMG GT3 as well! 😁
And congrats for your win at Daytona!
I've been braking hard/early, so this was very helpful. As an aside, got to meet you (momentarily) on the grid at Daytona, was there for your win. Congrats and thanks for the hat! I wear it all the time.
I actually think im the early braker, causing me to be slow a f… 😂 Definitely gonna try some of this in practice. Thank you Daniel! With rain coming, i hope you are gonna give us some rain do’s and dont’s in the future 😊😊
Congrats on the 2nd win dude! We were following Indy Dontje here back home in Holland when suddenly I saw your name in the same car so I had 2 drivers to root for!
Little thing that helped me during iracing is putting the volume of the tires up a bit, I dont have those fancy pedals you have so its sometimes diffficult to know when your on the maximum level of grip. with the sound up you hear them screaming for mercy a bit more.
Love the channel, keep it up
Very well explained Dan! Appreciate all your time and videos helping and lifting up the sim racing community. Congrats on the 2nd Rolex 🔥🔥
Tried this for an hour. It took about 10 laps to get comfortable but then I beat my best time by over a second on Kyalami and it was effortless. It didn't even feel like a fast lap. It wasn't until I had gone across the line that I realised.
I've been stuck on that lap time for over 3 years without improving.
I just looked at the motec data and I still have a long way to go to stop over-braking so there will be even more improvement.
Your advice has made such a difference.
My original best time was 1:42.5 in ACC. Now that's a slow lap. :)
Thanks.
Yesterday I was training at the Valencia circuit (Ricardo Tormo) on ACC. Interestingly, while I was studying the telemetry data, I realized that I needed to change my approach to the brakes, and watching your video, I understood the concepts even more.
What exactly did you see in the telemetry data that made you realize that?
@@teddyruxpin3811 i was using the telemetry of Track titan. I could see from the best lap time telemetry data that he was using this concept explained in the video.
this video has explained so much of what I was doing wrong, great work and thank you. I was heavy and late, so now going to go back to ACC and see if I can get my 2.24.3 at Spa in the 488 evo down. Wish my luck.
thank you for this! I would love to see a video about how you go about learning a new track or recommend to other sim races who need to learn a track, how to go about it efficiently
Congratulations on the second Rolex 24 at Daytona win. It was awesome to watch you accomplish that.
Wow! Great golden tips and explanations of a lot of my driving problems.
Congratulations to you and Winnward racing on capturing the win at Daytona and your second Rolex watch and victory! Got to watch a lot of the race in person.
Great video and going to have to watch it several more times.
Looking forward to following the entire season!
Thanks!
Congrats on the double win! Great video on explaining everything on weight transfer while using the brake and getting on the throttle. I'm at the point of testing and trying to understand the Low speed shock compression and rebound and after that the high speed shock compression and rebound.
Hi Daniel, great video! The terminology I felt is so useful to the way I think about cornering. A subject I’d love to hear more about is when and why to overtake or defend (or not) in an endurance race. That kind of race craft stuff fascinates me as an IMSA/WEC fan.
Thanks a lot. And in terms of that thought process, I talk about it all the time on my twitch stream. Come hang out there.
Excellent video and explaining the brake and throttle control. This will help me showing me I’m braking to hard👍
Loved it so informative.
Congratulations on Daytona 24h win Daniel, once again.
Awesome video, I’ve been following you since few months, I do have decent times on iracing on few tracks and most of times I think I use the technique of feet and steer correctly, but at the same time I’m a bit unaware why I am doing it, feeling like it’s more like an instinct, controlled by the mood of the day 😂. Thanks to this video of yours I really became more confident, because calmly in 3 different difficult corners, you apply the technique correctly, explaining step by step why is correct to do that. I recently also started to forget about lap times, and stay focus on driving. I guess until I don’t master the right technique consciously , what’s the sense to be mad about being fast?
Thank you again, treasure video especially in the way you explain it! Thumbs up
Awesome video as usual. Congrats on the 2 time 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼.
I’m defiantly pushing way too hard on braking. I’m going to try dialing it back. And using a lighter longer technique.
Hopefully I see a small improvement.
Thank you for the advice 😎
Love this video and this helped me fixed so many problems I have had on my sim racing! I would love for you to do a video on driving on the limit (explaining the minor steering corrections drivers make) because that would be quite helpful!
Great vid as always, Daniel. Great insight on car balancing and how to get an overall better understanding on the usage of both gas and brake pedals to control weight distribution troughtout a corner. Also, as you said, coasting is as important as being on the gas pedal, for a number of important factors. Cool stuff.
taking these techniques to the real track with me this weekend,!
Watched a lot of videos on balance but I don't think I've seen anybody demonstrate with wrong technique and then go on to show good technique. The comparison helped a lot.
Congrats Daniel I am so excited to see the success you are having, and giving back to us with your tips we’re so grateful. I’m trying to reduce my braking to increase my rolling speed through the apex and off, but I frequently feel like I’m getting run over from behind. It’s a difficult balance to master, especially in traffic.
Great Video! I'm finally getting to understand. I don't have any formal training or any techniques I just try and see what works. I can't wait to learn proper techniques.
First time that I really understand clearly, I been trying to apply the tail breacking but also trying to push the start of the brake later and later, good to know this, thank you so much!
Looking forward to hearing about your progress in future sessions. Keep us up-to-date with your progress in our discord server. You can let us all know how you are doing in the Sim racing chat channel.
Thanks Daniel!! I realise that I'm breaking and accelerating too hard. I got decent times but always 1 sec off the fastest times. Next time I'll focus on the balance of the car and try to maintain the speed on the corner a little bit more
Great point about the maximum rotation point before getting back on throttle.
Thanks! And I think it’s nice to see it in action
Thank you for this really good video. Good reminder and very didactic .
As i'm coming back to car racing game glad it happens i find it. 😊
