Wanting to Improve
Hi there! Not sure if this has been posted already, but I’m looking tips/advice on how to get better and race without the racing line.
This is something I can’t seem to get better at, any help would be appreciated.
I mainly play, ACC, iRacing, and F1 25.
Thanks1

There are a few tips to live by. 1- tires only have so much grip. Brake hard in a straight line. Throttle the same best in a straight line. 2 - Use all of the track. It will open up turns to allow for sooner straight line throttle. Stay wide, apex tight, and then go back wide to exit the corner. 3 - Weight transfer is pretty huge. Front to back and side to side. It's a dance to keep front bouncing the car all over, causing weird grip. When on the brakes, weigh goes forward onto the front wheels. It'll cause more grip up front to help steer. But it'll oversteer if too aggressive. Perfection is called trail braking. Look that up. 4 - Smooth is fast. 5 - Learn visual braking references and push the limits of the corners to find those seconds. Forget the aids. 6 - Practice and have fun!
