The Driving Line - OpenTrack Driver Coaching

I've learnt a lot already just by watching this video.

Excellent advice!! Most of people they can´t even drive into the streets and suddenly they try to be fast on a racetrack or even worse on a highway... The real good driver respects the proper environment to use his/her car in the proper conditions, this is not to race on a highway and doing the homework before hitting the track. BR

Awsome 🎉

Whitest answers ever smh. No swag at all

I❤ur channel

I guess I kinda just got this and thought it was common sense befor anyone ever tried to teach me it when I first started playing racing games

When should I pull the emergency break😂

What is the best car for taking corners without apex?

thank you guys!! now im ready to go race!! =)

BeamMP Sim Racing gang

Awesome video thanks guys!

I wonder if AWD vehicle would need to enter an Apex a bit early than RWD car?

There are so many people not knowing how to take corners. They overtake me on straight when I am on cruise control and when a corner comes they brake and I overtake them without even braking.

AFter watching F1 and videos like this went went karting again against my gearhead friend and beat him good.

Such simple tips making all the difference.

I'm watching this video to help me to improve my APEX on the "Need for Speed" game. 😂😂😂😂

I almost died yesterday taking a corner to fast so I’m just trying to learn

Best piece of advice I've ever heard was from Sir Jackie Stewart, British f1 legend and 3 time world champion.

He said, in essence, when it comes to cornering and exits that you should never put your foot down and apply the power until you know for certain you won't have to lift it off again.

Simple, but effective advice.

this is not new to me but, this is a great explanation to be clear on my mind. i learned this kind of technique when watching whole season of initial D and play it on my PS2 or xbox 360 racing simulator games.

i have a question. maybe coaching. i seem to have a problem with sweepers. not sure where to position the car and how to modulate throttle to keep the best line and speed. help !

wow the mustang tho

Thank you from KSA.

Watching this before go karting tomorrow because I’m a try hard

Ok. Sometimes u have to adjust ur line. I tried forever to take a corner near my house at 40. Starting wide, coming in tight then rolling back out. I could do it at 30 and 35 but almost sacked it a couple of times trying to do 40. I have now done it twice at 40 because I changed the line. I have to drive in hard, harder than you think, then turn hard. Not a racing line at all, but I got it done. Um, I think it has to do with suspension, um because I drive a police pursuit Dodge Charger and the suspension is just unlike anything on the road. I don't think it can be done in any normal road car except maybe super cars. I just couldn't believe I did it. 2 times now. It's frightening.

Oh and let me add 1 more detail. The margin for error in that corner is 0. There is no shoulder and there is a huge ditch on BOTH sides.

Did anyone ...IS THAT MATT DAMON

#1 The importance of the driving line is vastly over emphasized to novice drivers
#2 It is NOT hard to figure out the proper line. Most line finding is nothing more than copying another faster driver.
#3 The proper line can not be determined walking the track or watching a video. The grip is not always where you expect it.
#4 About the only times you will find a very creative line is on a track with a lot of vertical component - hills and depressions that change your grip by adding or taking away tire downforce.
#5 Late apexing is not very valuable on low HP cars. On a low HP car (FF, F2000), the line that gives highest minimum apex speed, and highest exit speed, will be pretty much the same.
#6 The highest min corner speed should be the focus

Driving a race car fast is more about learning the specific skill of taking the tires to the limit. It is more of an athletic endeavor than people think. There is no substitute for seat time and developing a feel for the tires. A driver who drives perfect lines but has no feel for the limit is a back-marker / lapper. Worrying about lines and similar nonsense lead new drivers to focus on the wrong things.

This guy did work at Bondurant Racing School, did he leave?

Boooooo

Is this a new channel? I was shocked when i saw 333 (now 334☺️) subscribers. Expected at least 300k subs.

For sure, it is a challenge to ourseleves

I tracked my Corvette at the High Plains Raceway in Colorado last month. I'm exactly the sort of totally inexperienced driver Kai and Andy are talking about. But it was Great FUN! And, yeah, I did run off the track in turn six ... but only once. I really appreciate the efforts of the folks at OpenTrack, MotorsportReg and the Staff at High Plains Raceway.
