TL;DW - A short guide of how to trailbrake. 

Well said, don't be afraid to experiment and try new things and don't let the hardware limitations stop you from doing so.

Absoluty true! I "only" have a Thrustmaster TX with the simple 2 way pedals and there is still a lot of room to improve with this equipment eventho im not slow at all already. 2:17,8 at Spa, 1:54,4 at Nürburgring... just as examples I wouldnt consider these slow. And everything run on agressive setup with only minor tweaks. Guess if I was an alien there would be easily a second in both times with that equipment!

Or flashbacks in singleplayer like the F1 games could really help as well

I've considered the same, and it wouldn't be a bad idea with hotlap or practice mode

I understand the commodity but it is a gameplay mode we prefer not including. Lapping the whole circuit trains your brain better and closer to real conditions. It's part of the difficulty.

@@ArisDrives i humbly ask you to reconsider this stance. it will only be for training purposes anyway. it's like f1 banning simulators because they want to make it difficult. the difficulty comes from the competition, not inconvenience. all things aside, thank you for what you're doing.

@@ArisDrives please reconsider this stance. Even better, also add in a DLC pack for license tests similar to in Gran Turismo.

Thank you so much mate, really appreciate it!

I totally agree with that. No one, and I mean LITERALLY no one takes his time to make a video like that. A big big thank you ARIS!

Wow, thank you guys!

Definitely different pads give different brake modulation and can help controlling your trailbraking.

That's really great to hear, glad you're getting faster!

Thanks mate, very glad it helps. Hopefully once the pandemic is over we can meet on some track and have a beer all together!

@@ArisDrives Lemme know when you're in the States. It was because of ACC that I attended my first ever GT3 race a couple years back. It was at LVMS and I had a blast.

You were trail braking wrong and participated in a real gt3 race?

@@Turbly He attended it

Great to hear!

Glad it was helpful!

Fat too kind, thank you!

You'll get use to it. I was the same and now it's so natural. I was lucky I had the experience as when I went home and drove my dad's car, I couldn't move the seat and because my knees where around my ears I was forced to left foot break!

As Gaming Eclips said, it's all practice. But I can also tell you that you can stick to right foot braking and still get perfect trailbraking results. If it works good for you, use the right foot and practice.

Tyre squeal is a nice feedback and helps initially. But I will point out that it would be better to try to find other ways too. That is because in reality depending on the tyre construction and asphalt materials the sounds of the tyres might be completely different. In simulators as well the tyre squeal might change from sim to sim and even tyre to tyre in the same sim. So the less you are dependent on it, the better. Use it but also learn to drive without it.

@@ArisDrives Thanks for the advice. Will note that.

Thanks and welcome!

As explained many times, ACC simulates the SRO GT3 cars and pirelli tyres better. The cars and tyres have a narrower window of operation and so require smaller more precise inputs from the driver. AC was simulating a generic tyre and with the know how we had back then. The range is wider and you can get away with more. As I have demonstrated in this video and others, you can and must trailbrake in ACC, it just takes more skill and precision.

Next time!

Well that is a quite common misconception in everything it has to do with cars and speed. Starts from examples of how people expect a Ferrari (or any other high end car) can make turns 100kmh faster than a Panda (spoiler: it cannot) and ends of course in motorsport. Generally drivers expect the differences to be massive. In reality the differences are extremely small. Example: I lapped Imola at around 1'52secs with the Ginetta. This would be 157.7km/h average speed. To make a 2 second faster laptime at Imola (1'50secs) that would mean an average speed of 160.6kmh. Just 3kmh more average speed through out the whole circuit! I'd only need to be faster by 0.150 of a second on each turn. So as you can understand the speed difference in the apex of each turn would have to be a couple of km/h at most. 12km/h more is a massive amount of time and exaggerated for the sake of the demonstration, but in reality, pushing hard, it would never happen. So as you can see, it's a perspective of scale. People are used to see big numbers but to gain laptime you really need tiny differences, but you need those tiny differences everywhere in all the turns of the whole circuit. That is why it's so difficult to gain laptime. You don't see it happening because the gains are so small.

Sure, absolutely. But for a wet track you'll also need more rearwards brake bias. There's less grip and tyres suffer even more in combined grip (longitudinal and lateral requests)

Thanks 👍

io uso il traduttore automatico di youtube, si capisce bene lo stesso e nel mentre alleno un po' l'inglese :)
