Racing Lines explained 

I can feel both that 1. This is really oversimplified. 2. Adding any more complexity would have gone way over my head. Great balance.

Him: you'll go faster if you take a late apex Me: *cuts corner*

6:20. Yeah, I hate it when I have humans for curbs. They always disrupt my grip when I hit them.

I'm a racing driver and an instructor myself and this is very accurate, nicely explained and illustrated. Good stuff.

"For reasons I don't need to go into in this video" * Proceeds to go into the reasons

THIS! Many people don't realise that "the exit speed" is one of the most important aspects for being the fastest on a race track!

I'm gonna study physics so I can trash my friends at Mariokart

1:22, the idea of Ubisoft logo

Definitely the most underrated channel on youtube

When I was still kid. I ask my dad "Why those car turning like that?" My dad simple, boringly answer: less brake more speeding....

Been watching your videos for a few weeks now. They're so professional, you'll have 100k by end of the year, no question.

1:23 So that's what the UBISOFT logo means.

I always thought i understood cornering pretty well, but now i see that i have been ignorant and i think i just found out why im so terrible at F1 games especially in the wet. It feels like this just gave me the one thing i need to improve enough to up my difficulty from 95 to 110 on F1 2017. Time to go practice some. Thanks so much! ^_^

I'm always amazed of how much I learn about a so simple seeming topic

I honestly think this is one of your best ever videos. The detail, the complexity, the stitching together of ideas, the animation - everything works together brilliantly. One of the videos that really cleared up the idea of racing lines for me and made F1 much more interesting!

2:26 finally a good explanation about this

Your videos are getting better and better I love it!!!!

I love your videos! This mini-series has taught me a lot of new things and things that we normally don't think about too much or take for granted. Can/will you/are you planning to do a video on the different types of overtakes and their mechanics? For example, how does a switch-back move work when the lead car has a better line and so on.

literally every one of us when we played racing games as kids: lol why is that idiot cpu not going the shortest route also every one of us when we played racing games as kids: damn how is that cpu faster than me

You just answered years of questions. And I've tried reading and watching other videos to no avail. Thank you

Your recent videos are on fire!!! Great content! Hope RU-vid picks you up and starts to suggest your content to other people!

Once again I didn’t think much could be said about this but you managed to get a huge amount of information across that is very relevant. Keep up the great work!

From my point of view, your videos are by far the best videos I have ever seen on RU-vid, regardless of the category or topic I have been searching for. Great job! Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant!! Can you please make a video on the control and stability of an F1 car, from a vehicle dynamics point of view. Effects of setup choices on aerodynamic grip and mechanical grip vs tire degradation. That would be amazing.

This channel's videos deserve to be on trending #1. Best in the business I say. Please keep making such videos, cuz you're the best.

Words can't show how much I love your videos.

This is gonna help me tremendously on my VR racing! Thank you I learned so much from this little video! Can't Wait to put this into practice!

I will use this knowledge and apply it to all future instances of me playing racing games with friends. I will be unstoppable!

Can't wait for WTF1's video on this next week

THANK YOU! This will definitely make me quicker at *Super Mario Kart !!!*

This is my new favorite channel. So much information to soak in. Thanks Chain Bear!

So... The best race car drivers in the world are also top mathematicians....?

Best F1 info channel... Keep up good work👏👏👏

I had no idea how much consideration race drivers have to make in something as seemingly simple as turning a corner. I have a new appreciation for race drivers. Thank you, this is a great video!

Dude, your videos helped me become a better player on racing games years ago, and this still holds true to today. What a well explained and compact guide you got here.

And this is a perfect example for what I love in YT! I'm not really surprised to find exactly what I was hoping for on this topic. This is so well done, thanks a lot!

Probably one of your best videos, very well explained.

You're getting better at making these by the video mate. Good progression! Please do a video on suspension settings for qualifiers vs race.

Its insane how much thought and work you put into those videos! Keep it up !

I know the basic of line driving for a long time, but I still learn something new from this video. Great job on explainning something clearly.

Love your explanations man! Excellent video.

The mecca of Formula 1 related content on RU-vid. ...and the one that doesn't need to use other channels for video ideas and content ;)

Absolutely solid video. Explained so well with the visuals layered over, perfectly.

Absolutely loving your series - so informative. Thank you! I look forward to a video on battles and overtaking, how cars are allowed to be defensive or cross racing lines, etc. (because it’s one of the things I find most confusing about the sport)

I learned these basics from reading a Skip Barber strategy manual inscribed just after the Gran Turismo 3 game manual. My driving (in-game) skills have improved dramatically and I've adapted a few tweaks to help me judge race lines and how to stay on the best line.

Great videos dude! Informative! Keep going.

Absolutely loving the videos lately! Amazingly interesting stuff

I just discovered your channel, i can't believe this has been missing from youtube for so long awesome content! subbed

so this has nothing to do with racism and cocaine.. interesting..

Thanks for the helpful video bro!

First video of this channel I’ve watched and instantly convinced. You’ve absolutely earned a sub!

Great video. Thank you for posting this. This is probably the best, most concise video I have watched about racing lines. Awesome job.

This dude.... what a genius..

Amazing video!

These videos are getting me excited about F1 in a way I haven't been in years ❤️

This is the BEST video on this topic I have ever seen. I'm rethinking everything about how I play Forza and Ridge Racer now.

4:54 - Karting Line - just recalled Schumi's gliding around the corner and his mastery in the rain - was a treat to watch - so graceful. Karting experience, I guess?

Chain Bear F1: Racing Lines explained Humans: Okay, Runners: easy Bikers: cool.... Car racers: Common knowledge Tank: ????

Such a simple & beautiful explanation. Loving it. Keep the good work

Holy shit dude I found your video on Reddit, didn't expect it would go so in depth, I underestimated you from the start and god you proved me wrong! Didn't think you would be able to say that much CLEARLY in less than 10 minutes! I wish you good luck, you got a new subscriber and keep throwing that kind of content!

Nobody: RU-vid recommendation: Me watching at 3am

Trackmania: *is hyped* RU-vid recommendations:

This is a deep dive into race craft. I really appreciate it from a fan standpoint, but also to reach a new plateau in simracing. Thanks!

Very nice!! Finally someone that understands the concept of the exit being the most important aspect to a great line (whether it's to maximize acceleration or position or both), as compared to taking the mathematical perfect apex. One other little bit to also add to take into consideration is distance traveled as well. For example, the part you go over around 4:10, I'd personally still late break the entry corner as it would allow for the smoothest transition into the next segment, and reducing overall distance traveled. Where as an early apex would require the line you showed, resulting in overall more distance to travel to setup for the next corner (the squiggly bit). And of course as you mention, it all goes bollocks to sideways in real life :) Great vid!!!!

You're the best RU-vidr Chain Bear, Hey, I have a question, what software do you use to make your videos? I ask this question because I need to make a video for History class, and I would like to use your software. It so cool. I am a subscriber for over 2 months now and your videos continue to fascinate me. Your videos are the best and explain the best how things work. It does not matter if you don't want me to use the software, I won't take it personally. I still will love your RU-vid channel and it's content.

So...you're saying I'll never be a race driver, as racing lines are just too complicated? Jokes apart, thank you for this amazing video.

This is the clearest explanation I've found for these terms anywhere. Thanks!

Wow I did not realize racing was so complex! Can't wait to explore this channel more!

I really want to know why is there such a big difference between an ideal Quali car setup and an ideal Race car setup. How does that fuel weight effect a nicely balanced "empty" car

I feel so smart lol! ‘Tell you why! I turned my autopilot on at 30mph on a one-way road with a lot of curves (40mph speed limit), and wanted to prove that I was gonna be able to catch the car in front just by taking racing lines before the road ended! The road is about 4 miles long; YES, it worked! I know there are a lot of variables like the speed of the car in front and all of that, but I’ve tried it a couple of times more and still catch the car in front! I love cars!... and science! :)

The best channel period

Excellent series of videos!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE your graphic animations! Are all the graphics and animations originals, made by you?

start with searching "best A class car in FH4", ended up here

one of the greatest channels explaining just an advice in some parts it becomes tedious i mean die hard f1 fans like us can handle but new visitors maybe not love your content i hope millons of subscribers for you :)

That a was a great explanation. We very much needed a channel like this that mostly concentrates on F1 racing.

I love how he spent a few mins explaining why the circle is the fastest turn then proceeds to say "nah taking the circle line is useless in the real world" 😂😂😂 such informative vids, this channel made me love f1 even more

Time to open trackmania

I still can't get over how amazing these videos are

Been racing F1s on Crew 2.I needed wisdom and so i got it from you.Thnx!!!!!!

Im a trackmania player and this helped me making more precise moves and turns

Why are you so brilliant all the time?

I'm no fan of F1 or mechanical sports in general, but your explanations are clear and allows the viewer to understand the staggering complexity therein. Goob job, keep it up.

I learned this through playing gran turismo and reducing my drift or drag through corners and trying to keep my exit speed as fast as possible lol. amazing video, thanks for explaining

One of the best channels i seen but WTF1 is kinda trying to steal contents like slipsteeaming vs dirty air

now I can play F1 2019 online!

Almost at 100k subs!!! Congratulations!

I thought i was fairly knowledged about racing lines but this video thought me more than i expected, great video i will be subscribing and watching more

So basically its like me pissing down the side of the toilet bowl

FYI: This was in my recommendations after a I watched a few Forza 7 vids

Damnnn this was so good. Super impressed with your channel, dude.

I was about to participate in a cart race a while ago, so I quickly watched this, to get a better understanding of racing lines Now it is in my recommendations, youtube is crazy sometimes

1:51 shit got dark really fast🤔

My life is a lie.

Well done with explaining the basics as well as the more sophisticated concepts!

I am here because of RU-vid recommendations randomly throwing out something fascinating. Cool video!

You should apply for a job with F1 and be paid to make these videos tbh.

and some n00bs be like : JUST CUT THAT CORNER OR BUMP INTO OTHERS CAR INSTEAD!!

Really enjoy this series. Well done sir. Thank you.

Keep em coming. Great channel
