THIS HIGH-LEVEL STUDENT FOUND 1 SECOND PER LAP! - Sim Racing Coaching

ANNOUNCEMENT: My new Book is OUT! suellioalmeida.ca/the-motor-racing-book

I often roll my eyes at Sim coaching videos, but this dude legit knows what he's talking about and explains things so clearly. Subscribed!

This technique made me at least 2 seconds faster if not faster in Gran Turismo today, thank you Suellio.

I think that practicing driving fast in a very understeery FWD is an underrated experience, because it teaches exactly this kind of lesson. The car doesn't want to turn and you can't use the throttle to gain rotation, so you have to learn how to get the car turning using brakes and weight transfer alone.

The feel you get at 17:13 irl on track is something amazing. First time the car dived like this I was is in shock, not believe that cars can do that. Great session!

This is amazing man. This is so much more beneficial than some generic how to trail brake video. Hope to see you in a class soon.

I needed this video like 15 years ago lol

He went from being Perez to Max in one lesson

Amazing video Suelio! You did an amazing job breaking down the telemetry and highlight phases of turn-in. Very good point that changing one part of a driving style means other things will need to accommodate, like the turning point.

I've been applying this technique to get more rotation out of the GR86 around Laguna Seca this week to great effect. I started at around 1350ish Irating running very average lap times for my splits (1:38s-1:39s). As of tonight however, I'm a little under 2.4k and faster than or equal with 85% of the drivers in my split (Mostly 1st but sometimes 2nd split). For times, I'm running consistent low to mid 1:37s and even dipping into the 1:36s (PB =1:36.660). I went through a few frustrating practice sessions where I felt like I was getting slower but once the lightbulb went on it was 2 tenths here, 2 tenths there. You have a gift for teaching. I'm likely going to be springing for your online course and maybe even some coaching down the road, this video was pretty good advertising for me haha.

I've heard people talk about "short corner drivers" (especially Peter Windsor) but ive never seen a comprehensive explaination and a method I could use to practice shortening my corners (on corners where this is actually possible/worth it. You've been by far one of the best imo at communicating car handling concepts and driving skills, so I would love to see you do a video on this topic! Keep up the great work!

this is really eye opening even though i've been trail braking and using all the obvious techniques for so long but this brings it to another level

Suélio, this is one of the absolute most important videos. I have never heard about this before. You need to emphasize this a lot! I have tried this exercise myself after watching and it's truly hard to make it! Please, emphasize this message mate, you are going to change the world, I have around 10 years of sim and this is my sinn, please push this and I'm sure you are the one who will make the difference! Thanks a lot for this tutorial, still working on it but this is the racing secret!!!!!!

Fascinating. As someone who's always a couple of seconds off race pace, I feel this is an exercise I can try to replicate. Great stuff. I'll keep watching.

Okay so you basically explained a thing i noticed but i couldnt find how to rewire my brain into doing this stuff more often, im already doing it but not as much as i'd like. Well, at least i know that i have some intuition in racing, so thats good >.>

Excited to apply these techniques when I start racing with a wheel setup, for now I guess the jagged braking and throttle lines are staying, unfortunately 😂

This has definitely helped me a lot. I can use my brakes to spin the car easily, but never gave it much thought. Eye opening, for sure 😁

Your video (randomly poped in my feed today) just changed my way of driving in sim forever... I was always slow, not knowing what I could do to gain more and today, after training induce oversteer, I litteraly beat my PB in ACC by 2,5s (and I know there is a lot more on the table...) Thank you sir ! I was losing hope and slowly getting bored of simracing but now ... I'm driving with a smile on my face !

Omg, just after watching this video and thinking about braking and rotation I found almost 1s in my first race, not even practicing it. You are amazing! Thank you!

Amazing video Suellio!!! I have been driving the same way as the guy on the video. Steering mostly with wheel and not making the car rotate with brakes enough. After watching, i had to go to drive some laps in acc. It was hard to make the car spin with brakes🤯 After 20+ laps an my Nürburgring lap record 1:58.176 is now 1:56.787 You are the best!❤ Keep posting videos like this
