It's cool to see people owning up to mistakes like that. There definitely was a gap, but he went in a little hot. Stewards would probably call it a racing incident, but if they had to assign blame I don't think it would be on Summit.
@@EmoNemoNinja this is exactly what rookies is for, trying dumb shit and realizing what works and what doesn't. Unfortunately some people don't figure out what doesn't work haha
You had the window open but that guy just wasn’t quite there for it. He had no business running up on you like that into the turn, it’s an egregious dive bomb attempt at best.
Underestimation on both ends , he was in summits head and on his bumper and he knew it and figured the window was open with compitency on both ends. Happens all the time
@@Bashi27 1) he waited too long to brake, 2) he didn't swing in early enough for it 3) he was also trying to dive on the inside of the line. He in no way had that. If he was diving to the line then I could see it more, but if you look at the track and the groove that's worn into the surface from the tires running the line, he's not in it. The guy that rear ended him even says it in the video. He misjudged the gap and messed up. Watch the replay at half speed, you can see him try to sharply turn in to avoid Summit in an inadvertently aggressive pass, but ended up surpassing what the tires could handle, so he ended up understeering. He went from not being behind him at all, to drafting the inside half of Summit's car, and then flicking it in again. If he hadn't halfway put his car behind him then a late brake overtake might have been possible. Also would have needed for Summit to be aware and not close the door, and/or for his commentator to tell him the guy looks like's going to, or is going to, dive the inside. It was a slip up of the chaser misjudging distances, sadly. That woulda been a hella neat pass if he pulled it off.
You are doing insanely well. Your lines are great and you have a good sense of speed into the corners. High sens FPS and racing have alot in common. Light touch, focus, patience, angles etc... Not much advice to give that wouldn't overcomplicate things. You will feel the pace as it comes to you. The biggest teachable moment is in turn two, you mention you don't know how they are trailing off the brakes so early. This is where you get into reading the vertical part of the track. You are used to visualizing every part of the turn by the edges of the track and that is important. But your next big gains will be from reading the elevation changes in different parts of the track and incorporating them your mental picture in balancing your car. If the track rises and falls off, you will want to brake heavily before the crest and trail off patiently with the decreasing elevation into the turn. In the case of turn two though, the turn slopes downward first, then upwards at the apex. This means you will still brake in a straight line, but you will be able to do so slightly later and trail off much earlier as the late rise in elevation will decelerate you as well, allowing you to throttle earlier as your braking trails off. Find a way to do that in one fluid motion. Don't sweat touching the absolute edges of the track in those corners where carrying speed is crucial in the Miata. Just flow where the grip takes you. The mental picture you should build is that you are molding your car to the shape of the track using the fluctuations in your speed. Excellent stuff man. You are gaming bro! Edit: get Lando in a lobby and follow him around the track! You're 1g lol. Royalty. He'd absolutely do it.
@@ewenblack4174 he's in the Miata. He does make mistakes but its obvious he knows where to put the car. It's not like he went to Skip Barber or had a coach growing up. He's putting in better drives than people who have been doing this for years. Of course he lacks consistency. But, he has those moments where he takes a hell of a corner. That's all the feeling you need to work off of. The corner is going to be slightly different for every tire, car, level of deg, fuel load, etc. Wherever you hold speed is where you go. The Miata drives very narrow. It has a short wheel base and more perceived grip than most sports cars. There's only about 125 horsepower at the wheels to exit the corner with and about 1.1-1.2g's of grip at the tires in a race. You are better off slightly early than late when learning. The cornering has a similar cadence to a Prototype car. Drives almost like a mid-engine. Plus, it's not Sebring. It's Oulton Park. The track is all mid-speed/momentum.
I used to race shifter Karts, and the moment you say to yourself, "Fuck, I'm slow af". You already lost. If you get in your own head, it's over. You kinda gotta keep repeating to yourself, I'm fast af boiii .Over and over, trust
Been iRacing for years and never knew that. You sure? Even if I have a 144hz monitor and I lock it to 142fps? In any other game that should theoretically give me the lowest latency possible, especially with Nvidia Reflex turned to On+Boost
That crash wasn't your fault. Was there a space? Kind of, but it wasn't large enough for him to make that move. It is his responsibility as the trailing car to make the overtake safely and this was a careless move he made.
racing rules of engagement say that if the front of their car is not at least halfway up your car, they are at fault if you wreck and you technically don’t have to give space. granted it’s usually given anyway to avoid the wreck but it’s not your fault
That was not summits fault at all. That dude was never making the apex. He was going off track of it wasn't for summit. He didn't do it on purpose but it looks like a punt to pass move
That guy was way too far back to make a move on the inside. He must have missed his braking point. Definitely looks to be his fault first look. Not bad driving though summit
Summit that crash wasn't your fault, he crashed into you, now if he had gotten onto your side safely and you crashed into him. People fail to overtake all the time, don't feel like its your fault.
Wasn’t your fault. He dive bombed you for no reason. Usually if the car is still behind you it’s your line. I would say if their wheels were halfway between your car length then sure it’s their line. he should’ve been more patient on passing
I would assume he does practice on these tracks, at least 40-60 laps, to get a feel of it. Or that is just how long it takes me to experiment on how quick or how much i have to slow down for certain turns.
I don't know if it's a sim thing but why are you downshifting all the way into 1st? In IRL track days people spend most of their time top of 3rd or 4th and when they come into turns they downshift at the most to second because 1st will upset the car way to much and there really in no benifit to a downshift to first due to the gearing limitations of the 1st gear. To much rpm causing the car to feel stabby and hang high in the rev range for one turn. Honestly, you might be faster just using second because it wont upset the car as much and also less shifting. You will also stay in the powerband as well and click 3rd which will help you pull closer to the cars infront of you. Downshifting to first is just extra work, that upsets the car and is unnecessary. At least that's from real-world experience, idk how sim driving works. I only know autoX and track. Also, another aspect of real-world vs sim I should mention is I drive a turbo car vs NA engine. idk how much carries over but turbo cars require staying in the powerband for keeping the turbo spooled up for acceleration out of corners, NA engines do not have that issue. All the more reason to just stay in 2nd gear around turns because you have that instant throttle response of an NA engine, and all the RPM band available. I think avoiding 1st gear would benefit you the most. The rule of thumb for racing is the smoother and cleaner you drive the faster times you get. Living on the ragged edge does not really mean you are setting fast lap times. Smooth is fast.
To be honest he straight up rear ended you lol. He's speeding up while you are preparing your turn into the corner and instead of him cutting farther right and hugging the line, he chooses to hug your right rear fender and crash. 100% not your fault, the only thing you gotta work on from my POV is your Apex's and Throttling out of your corners better. #summit1g #number1streamer
From the replay, you were taking the same line as the vehicle in front of you and the guy who ran into you took a sharper line and paid the price and took your 5th from you. Not your fault. Now if you took a wider line than the car in front of you, then I would say it was your fault, but that didn't happen.
@@Hacktheplanet_ So if someone is trying to pass you and you cut them off and cause them to crash, it's their fault cause they were trying to pass you? If so, be careful doing that in RL, with the way people have been getting with road rage, someone will eventually pull out a gun on you.
@@BigBabyJ1083 well summit just turned into the corner the guy had no chance making a move there. I cant believe that u are defending someone rear ending someone 😂
@@Hacktheplanet_ I'm not defending the guy, if you read my first comment I said that Summit was taking the same line as the guy in front of him and the guy who ran into Summit tried taking a sharper line and paid the price and screwed Summit. What I did respond to was if you cut someone off and cause a accident, it isn't the person who ran into you but you who cut the person off.
He did had an opening on the inside, but he crashed into you while you were on the middle, so I'm guessing he is mostly at fault because I didn't see you swerve to defend the position. Also, he was very apologetic and donated to say sorry. Great video nonetheless.
Sim racing you either have it or you don't. Won my first race at first attempt, then 2nd next 4, d license in a few hours, won ft Ferrari challenge. Now training for endurance race w eSports drivers.

Good ole Oulton Park. Being an I-Racer myself with 1000's of laps around this track. Being that this Oulton Park and 10 Laps. Rookie race and mayhem usually happens. Your race lines look great, but with the MX5 cars, it is all about momentum, your late braking is killing it. Need to get off the gas more earlier and lighten up on the braking. But 2 corners that stand out where you can gain more time. 1st one is Island Bend, 4th gear, learn to coast through it with no brake. 2nd one, Shell Oils Corner (hairpin). Get off the gas a little more earlier, lighter braking and stay in 2nd gear. 3rd one, Lodge Corner (downhill hard right before the finish). Get off the gas a little more earlier, medium braking and stay in 2nd gear. You should be able to knock off 2 to 3 seconds on your lap times.
As for the guy, that rear-ended you. That was a total bonehead move on his part. He wasn't even close and probably missed braked. But in a Rookie Class race, you have to be reading for it most of the time. Also, you get the ones that just don't care in those races and look to make problems for most that are really trying hard and racing right. No matter what the skill level is.
