Don’t recognize the layout?

And Max is back to his brake zone games against Lando yesterday at the Austrian GP... again possibly as a result of being pushed wide the previous 2 laps and losing patience with Norris?

Great video!

Good stuff. Your advice for turn 1 does go counter to other tutorials all advising late apex. I suppose momentum vs HP cars will factor in?

Nice!!

Trail braking in and of itself is not dangerous, it's the trees, ditches, cliffs, walls, and all the other things waiting for you off the track when you screw it up! Sorry but I couldn't resist that. Excellent video

I am not sure if this is a more or less advanced technique, but I only look at apexes and exits, no matter how far away they are. The braking point and turn in point are done with my peripheral.

Super helpful Thank you!

nice. u r a rider too aren't you?

that's my kinda technique too, but after trying both in GT7, it feels like not too much difference between these techniques since turn 3 is not far enough, exit speed doesn't make a big difference, the v shape technique has a slightly later exit with faster speed, but by the braking point at turn 3, two different ways kinda evens out.

Excellent breakdown!

Just finished BW, I got turn 2 wrong so many times, and can’t get speed out that corner

That third one is super counter intuitive to me. My instinct is to help the car rotate with throttle, so lifting seems like something I would struggle with there.

Love the drills. Gives me something to focus on doing. It's all very well to know the theory of racing lines and braking techniques but it's very important as a noob to have drills to learn skills.

I always feel that I went to slow thru turn 6

Thank you

Thank You

Thank you

Thank you

The length of the yellow doesn't make sense. You should be off the brakes by the time you are at the point of tightest radius turning (i.e. apex).

I was taught and my exit speeds concur: Don't touch the first apex. You're making the turn tighter than necessary (decreasing radius) at the second more important apex which will give you better speed out.

Sry I had to play the video on x2

Pass thru bus stop lol

awful messy for a pole lap?

Almost right (for rear wheel drive cars, if racecraft isn't a factor). The shape of the line through a double-apex corner is equally determined by entry speed, braking ability, cornering grip, and finally power-to-weight. Power only controls your track-out path to exit the corner (throttle-steer). Braking and cornering abilities control your corner entry, turn-in and trail-braking. With every car really, you balance turning ability with ability to accelerate. Less turn-in cornering ability (more understeer or plow), make pointier turns. More horsepower (power-to-weight), more throttle-steer available on exit and faster to recover lost momentum. Heavier high-HP cars, like Vipers, Mustangs, and Vettes are "point & squirt" type (pointier corners). If any double-apex is put into a CAD system, the perfect arc spline can be drawn using 4 points to lay down the shortest path (turn-in, apex-1, apex-2, and track-out). How far out your apogee is (towards the outside of the track, after apex-1) will be determined by all of the factors above. Things change quickly for front-wheel or all-wheel drive cars, or for traffic (racecraft). The Laguna T-2 double-apex corner presents a fantastic passing opportunity. You overtake under braking on the inside, go in hot for a pointy turn. The other car attempt to retake on the inside, but you accelerate and stay right, while the other cars fights to get left for T-3. You are slightly slower through T-3, but now have the inside track and position on the more important apex.

That was awesome

I guess it's also up to the tires. If you want them to last for a longer time, you will try to pass the corners with the lower speed.

I only started to learn trail breaking and allready i set up my new best time on my favourite track. This shit really works☝️😁

60 seconds? More like 2 mins

Superb explanation and interpretation of the art of trail braking. Well done 👏

Yup, that's fast 👏

Usually on the first turn of the esses i dont bother tracking out to set up for it. Mid track is plenty to hit it imo. Good info on the breaking into oak tree. I usually fail to break that entire way which is wrong

The trick for making this turn is too use a Miata and let off the gas right as you come toward the apex of turn two

Motorcycle line- enter hard, brake/ shift/ square of deep, this loads the front and turns quicker, and opens up the exit, pin it. Objective: Fastest cornering speed (highest average speed) measured from early entry to late exit. Thanks

Nico Rossberg has a good tutorial for COTA.

Interesting discussion, especially about ramping up and managing intensity, improving consistency. Thx!

Very good video with a lot of tech details on Trail Braking. Calling it Ultimate … well in the eyes of the beholder. One advice is to train on improving your videos narration skills. You sound like you are going to cry. You need to put some enthusiasm and energy to keep people hooked. Even if it is 8 min. Just my 2 cents

Is that a car video or a Hip Hop presentation?

I’m only racing in sim, but I am curious if you could share your thoughts about when to defend and when to let the other driver pass. I’m still at a very amateur level, but I’m only occasionally defending. For example - when someone (on my lap and in my class) is seconds faster per lap I’m going to let them by with a lift - still maintaining my line of course. I also let drivers who are “erratic” by as they will likely take themselves out. This leaves closely matched (in terms of lap time) drivers or drivers I have just passed. Is this a good strategy? Should I change anything?

Great Wall through. Wish I’d have seen it before my weekend there. Subscribed for great content

How about lifting in turn 14?

So losing focus is a cue to refocus. Makes sense. In the old days a professional racing driver was one who would get better under stress. Perhaps this is a partial explanation for that.
