Steer Like A PRO Driver! - Race Hacks Episode 1 

thank you for your kind words

Happy to be of some help to u :)

Thanks. Happy to be of help

Happy to help bro

Happy to help bro

on road it isn't comfortable to do but on track it's a different story, you have to know exactly where your wheels are pointing to

Thanks!

i was really busy with my race schedule. But i really hope to continue it one day.

Thanks :) will make time to create more content.... glad to be of help

Low speed corners will not snap as easy as high speed bends. So if u are just using for uturns and parking. The 3 9 steering is not needed.

U should always keep ur shoulders relaxed. U should grip the steering wheel lightly too. If u grip the wheel too tight, ur muscles will be tense and it will affect the speed of your steering response. The trick is to keep ur shoulders relaxed and lowered.

Hold on loosely but don't let go.....as in the song

@@ShaneAngRacing thanks man! My driving has come leaps and bounds since first posting this, you've helped me tons!!!

@@reddmann2216 brilliant mate!

@@stevenhenderson1198 really happy to help bro :)

thats why its better to have both hands on the wheel

nothing in this episode that you dont already know... wait for more ya!

Shane Ang Racing always good to revisit the fundamentals

I suggest keeping it balanced on both hands

@@ShaneAngRacing thanks! apreciate it. wish there episode 2

Is it just because of the weight of the car?

Weight of the gearbox makes a very big difference. When we race. Our car is pushed to the limits for many laps. Sometimes we go full sprinting mode for hours. auto gearboxes tend to overheat easily. Weight. Durability. Cost. Etc.... many factors

Automatic trans do not perform as well under sustained high rpms loads and heat. They do perform well in one lap/time trials events though, and have started to show up more and more in builders events like GLTC and global time attack series etc. 😀

I dont use it all the times when I am on the roads because I dont drive near the limits on the roads. Unless theres a need to. I will lock and anchor my Master Arm. And release 1 hand.

@@ShaneAngRacing thanks for the answer! Would be awesome if you could do a video on steering correctly and quickly on the road

Because modern drifting uses alot more steering angles. And unlike reactive correction in racing, drifters induce the slide themselves, so the slide is a lot more easy to predict.

@@ShaneAngRacing thank you for sharing and answering i thought im drifting wrong . 🤣

ya bro... I forgot to add this into the video.... this doesn't apply to drifting or gymkhana. Well, gymkhana is relatively safe due to very low speeds but In Drifting, these masters intentionally throw the car sideways or more and many of the cars are modded to have crazy steering angles. So it actually is not possible to hold the wheel in a fixed position. Because clocking fast timing is not the target of drifting, they let the car totally lose traction(which is not the fastest way to take a corner) and waited for the speed to slow down to a point where the traction comes back. I have huge respect for this drifters as it is not something I can do yet. When we watch NOB taniguchi drifts, he intentionally throw the wheel without the racer's grip. But when he is in the time attack. He immediately changed back to the usual grip. Well, i think that the key to be fast is to make use of as much traction as possible and always keep urself within the max traction. so to correct all the micro slides, we need to have fast reflexes and consistently adjust along the corners to keep the car within that line. So this video is about being fast and safe on the track. Really thank you for pointing out. Our later episodes will cover drifting as we will be attending a drifting school! hahaha

awesome, can't wait for future episodes, specially the drifting one

I can't give a correct answer because there are too many variables to your question. If its losing traction due to rwd powersliding. Lifting off may cause a snap oversteer immediately if ur steering wheel is facing the opposite direction. But if u are running out of track already. Continuing to power on will fly u out of the track. Will need to be very specific of the situation for me to answer correctly... keeping the right steering hold will help u react better btw....

@@ShaneAngRacing ohh i see thanks man

Actually anywhere. If u wanna always be ready for any sudden incidents

@@ShaneAngRacing Thanks a lot appreciate your answer

@@ShaneAngRacing should I keep my thumbs in or out ?

@@tarekaltouny5637 I keep it in to grip it better. But do let go of the wheel in case of impact to prevent thumb Injury

Unless u have precise control and confidence that u don't need more than 1 rotation to correct. Then u can try. But the maximum rotation u can do with 1 hand is different in bother directions.

It really depends on wat is the situation. If u have went wider than u should due to overspeeding, turning more will actually make the understeer worst. Reducing speed by lifting throttle or braking will help alot. If u are going offline not due to speed but due to lack of steering input, then I would suggest turning more. This tend to happen when the eyes are looking at the attack spot but the hands did not follow and steer towards it. Haha. The most ideal way is to draw a mental/imaginery ideal line and do your best to keep ur car parallel to it.

@@ShaneAngRacing Thanks a lot for the advice and the detail explanation, now hopefully I don't end up crashing into a tree because I fail to follow your advice

@@gotthezest5315 actually there are alot of details to go thru. But I always like to advise my racers that the steering wheel is just the guide of the car. Whether the car able to turn, follow the line or not, weight shifts and under/oversteer is all on the throttle control.

@@ShaneAngRacing I see, a new video on throttle control soon?

This 1 more for circuit and race track. On the streets sometimes have to uturn and park car etc.... very hard to maintain 39. Just make sure u keep the right steering position when driving fast.

@@ShaneAngRacing ok bro thanks for the tips!
