Racing Games - Driving Slow Makes You Faster! 😉 

I totally get what you're saying. When I'm practicing on the Nurburgring, instead of pushing hard every lap, I started to focus on being consistent throughout the track. With this in mind I managed to get my average lap 15 seconds faster and even got my fastest lap during a "relaxed" run. Great content as always!

I just realised this is an excellent way to learn any track inside out. Take any track that you are slow at, and push your race pace up slowly. Soon enough you can become a beast at the track.

Saying that in rally makes more sense(if in doubt of the notebook), and seeing Colin Mcrae and is cars always costumized by trees and gravel on the roof makes even more sence😆, what a legend. RIP

this applies to life. dont compare yourself to others. just clock in the hours. work harder than anyone else but at your own pace. do it daily. practice perfectly at your level. you will improve. Your confidence level and enthusiasm will tell where you belong. i also lose myself when i am in a constant race or battle against others. This is a reminder for me. Thankyou viperconcept. great vid as always. T_T

i always rewatch that intro 10 times atleast... its goddamn beautiful

Hey Viperconcept, could you make a video of you driving around in your panda? (Like a POV driving)

Very useful advice and yeah i feel uncomfortable when i try to push the car especially when i have no idea how the car works on the track. I also learn to admit i'm an amateur, there's a lot of racer are faster than me, so if my pace is slower, at least i need to have a consistent pace so i don't lost too much time and hope the opponents make a mistake.

That Ratchet and Clank soundtrack... So nostalgic

Thanks for these kind of videos. I'm a psychologist and I love racing so I find the results fascinating. About how be build frustration and insecurity inside until it comes down crashing...literally. This is something simulation doesn't get and I have to wonder if it ever will. In real racing risking it can lead to serious I physical harm, in simulation it's only a No Finish/DNQ. So it's an aspect that needs specific training like what you're doing with this video. It takes a while to be aware of these things.

Viperconcept: Driving slow makes you faster! James May: Driving slow makes me slower! Colin McRae: When in doubt, flat out! James May: When in doubt, brake out!

Just yesterday I did like 20 laps of nordschleife driving "slow" or atleast much slower than I would normally and after that I did a fast lap and beat my record by 7 seconds.

I really admire you for speaking 3 languages, but I have to admin, I find your accent really entertaining. Jokes aside, I like your videos, you seem to put a lot of effort into it and explain your point really precisely. You make complex things seem simple. Thanks and keep it up!

Not only a good lesson, but also a nice choice of music. the soundtrack from ratchet and clank gives me nostalgia.

Yes I realised this when I went slower through Ascari chicane on F12021, focused more on the technique and exit and suddenly I gained 5 tenths. It totally blew my mind

Ok THANK YOU A LOT for the Ratchet & Clank OST

"driving slow makes you faster" Hemilton use this technique in F1

Ratchet and Clank music makes it so much better x.x

Ratchet and clank going commando Megapolis planet Endako theme, the victory theme for the bike race, Agent clank theme! Loving the Ratchet and clank going commando themes! ❤❤❤

Contructive critic: You could zoom in the middle mirror way more, so we can watch the back cars better - i mean, you are the leader, we dont expect to have a changed route xD

Thank You so much Viper, I have learnt so much from your videos. And I like your presentation and editing!!👍👌

I'm gonna show this to my friend who's new to simracing, thanks! Loved the Rachet & Clank music btw, talk about a throwback!

I really like this channel I am learning from your videos and I am getting better at racing! Thanks for helping me out! 😎👍🏁

I realize what you mean with this video and I suffer from the same problem, I usually try to push harder to cover any unnecessary time loss in a race but this also risks my whole race. I burnt many races due to this one factor. Keep making great videos viper!

3:00 rachet and clank 1 soundtrack from i thought the 2e planet where rachet crashes his ship

Ratchet and Clank 3 song in fast forward 👌🏻

You're an excelent teacher! Incredibly good video.

Viperconcept you are the best

i always learn something watching ur videos :)

14:12 omg, Viper, you killed that guy! :(

This is interesting, very interesting. Because I absolutely can't apply this to my driving and I don't understand why. - If can do my best lap in 1:30.0, then I can grind 1:30.5-1:31.0 laps over and over (of course, if driving conditions don't change, like fuel, tyres, etc.). - Trying to push harder doesn't do a thing, even for one lap. - If I try to lower my pace that would be it, slower pace, like 1:31.0-1:32.0, but that will also mean different braking points and different lines which will only help me in case my car is damaged or my tyres are gone. - Spinning out is out of the question either - I wouldn't even try to race in a car that can suddenly snap on me, that's not fun at all. I'll either pick a different car or make some basic setup changes to make it more stable and predictable. I'm not a fast driver. Could be I'm just persistent enough to learn what to do in each corner and that becomes my pace until I learn a better line or a better approach. Very interesting indeed...

Nice video mate

Funny you say that, I realised that a few days ago myself. It’s when I start going hard & chasing time is when I mess up or lose time 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

Is that Ratchet and Clank music at the timelapse in the first race? D:

Brilliant testing

yeah learned that back on gran turismo 4 haha

did you know that you have a large audience in Brazil? we are always sharing your videos for those who want to learn

Definitely true. Even in Rally. Yes you’re going faster but if you make mistakes you end up significantly slower.

You can overcome your limit, but you cannot overcome your limiter.

I remember when i did GranTurismo 4 Nurburgring driving licence lap in Mercedes 190 evo. This shocked me because all of my fails and mistakes. I managed to succeed in pain and since this day, i kept in mind to always stay on track and to not go faster i can.

nice lesson viper .But i think colin McRae said that about ralling in a 4 wheel drive car nothing more nothing less .Sure in racing track isnt working that is what i have understand all this years of sim racing .Also do you teach for free cause you are great at this and i would want to teach me

I saw a lot of videos from you, but it is the first time I heard you speak French... 😅👌 (I am French by the way)

thank you for that, just blow my mind hahaha

I think sometimes this applies, while other times you do have to go flat out (i.e. wheel to wheel, down a strait, time attack.)

I think this exercise proofed how important it is to know your limit and keep within it in a race. So how can you apply this technique when practicing and trying to improve your limit?

This is a concept that I'm really struggling to put into practice

Bel Video 💪💪

Love this even though i only play with controller and forza m4

14:13 My man's puking because of the stress... In real life it might help with weight reduction tho

Chatto in jimmer's stream: just drive faster!

Huh, you got that Planet Endako theme going...

In russia, there is a saying: slower you go - further you will get. And it does work!

you're right, I've learnt this on myself when I was doing a race and in qualy I pushed and pushed and couldn't improve my lap time much and later in a race I was driving casually, just focusing to pass the corners clearly and not make a mistake without trying to be fast and I actually did a faster lap time like that hahahah so, this actually is true! pushing faster doesn't always make you actually faster!

For me, just to enjoy fm7, set like 50 laps, i don't know many circuits, and go from kerb to kerb, to learn some lines and i use the speed as a reference...first 10 laps no more than 60kmph, but each kerb should be touched with at least 30kmph...increasing the speed with just 10kmph after 10-20 laps is a lot...touching each kerb with at least 60kmph gives me a lot of satisfaction, but i keep the upper speed limit low just to remove temptation. This way i see a lot of improvement in time and after many many laps i'm more confident into pushing

The paradox remains strong and valid, did you happen to attempt the GT Sport Beat the Pro Time Trial?

Yes I experienced it in gran torismo 5 it so hard

“In doubt,flat out.” cit. Colin Mcrae

Tutto molto giusto… io sono migliorato tantissimo passando a assetto corsa competizione, il rating del gioco è spietato, pulizia e costanza e correttezza sennò non vai avanti… adesso su tutti i giochi parto in posizioni tipo decimo e dodicesimo in qualifica, magari a 2 sec dai primi ma arrivo spesso tra i primi tre, facendo la mia gara liscia come se gli altri non esistessero, mi superano in facilità ma si schiantano dopo 3 curve o non reggono la pressione… magari non ho la stoffa da fuoriclasse ma mi diverto molto in gara…

You should have 1million subs

❣️

alrighty, time to do the same and hope to improve :D

With the types of vehicles that I drive in simulators, I wouldn't be able to do this, since I would melt the tires and cook the brakes within one or two laps! It would be impossible to be consistent while also pushing the car near its limits. 4,000-lb luxury sports sedans are not built to withstand 10 to 15 laps of a track at race pace 😂

give telemetry a go compare and improve in that small part of driving rather then (limiting) you're self

Slow in fast out makes you a faster driver

The question is: how can i find the best pace for me?

Great content!! It's a struggle because we always want to go faster... catch up to those guys in front of you. But the harder you push, the more chance of a mistake. Then frustration mounts until a possible rage quit. Recently I've tried to focus mainly on racing line, and smooth braking/ exits... working on consistency. It is then SO satisfying to see other (faster) folks making a mistake, and you sailing past as the 'slower' racer. This recent video got me started: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W0Jj1Q62TlI.html

C’est fou ^^

Is it just me or the slip angle on this Huracan is gigantic?

driving slow makes you fast **wink**

One thing i began to do on ACC was making a custom 1v1 and progressively augment the difficulty untill i couldnt keep up anymore. Can this be good? And can i trust AI racing lines?

I tell people all the time to take it slow until you memorize everything. Real or sim. Just cruise like you have nowhere to be, until you get comfortable.

I tried listening to Colin McRae quote but I ended up in Taj mahal help

Well it's not driving slow but rater to find your limit

If I understand you correctly, basically you are saying 'don't rush it'. 'Speed and power' is not always the answer for everything.

Precision > Speed

Did you read Ross Bentley's book? 😜😇

man please buy pop filter for your mic, every time you say "p" or "b" you blow out my ears

I feel like you are just showing off. This is all about you and not your student.

Sorry Viper but I'm totally disagree. The only thing I see here is players trying to chase another (you) with more experience and with more hours spended. I see track performances as electric guitar performances... you gain speed training difficult exercises, NOT playing slow. My very sorry Viper, is my point of view. In my opinion, a player become faster driving in difficult tracks and of course spending hours of practice... the errors appears, but is parth of the lesson. That's all.

Not really
