Drive better without assists. Improve race technique
Great first session and perfect for us to get the ball rolling. There are plenty of areas where we need to improve your driving technique and there are some easy wins as well.
One of your main goals is to turn off assists. There is no easy way to do this, other that bit the bullet and start. If you've already done some of these then great, otherwise I'd really suggest turning off the racing line completely. It'll feel strange for at least a week or two but don't turn it back on. Stay strong and use other methods to try and find your racing line. The first method is to understand the basics of cornering. Check out this Track Titan video on racing line basics and with this knowledge get on track. Practice 3 laps then refer back to the reference lap and see if you are close together with the blue line. Remember full use of the track, touch the enter kerb, find that apex kerb then get all the way out to the exit kerb.
Silverstone is a tricky track to practice on. Head to the Red Bull Ring in Austria to try and improve on these fundamental skills.
When you are happy here. 3 laps, check the reference, 3 more laps check again. Then next up is to take the dive and turn off gearing. This is a coordination and control reflex. The sooner you learn to brake, change down your gears, listen to the engine the quicker you'll start to really feel what your car is doing. Again drive 3 laps and write down the lowest gear that the reference lap uses. Try to remember this on track and mimic it.
This is plenty of the first week's training (possibly the first 2-3 weeks). Enjoy!
As you brake through the corner and then turn your thoughts to the exit, there is a tendency to feel the lower gear will give you a faster exit. This can be counterproductive when pushing the upper limits of the engine
22% of your errors are from too low a gear.
Segment 7 shows how using 4th gear loses you a little speed on the corner exit but more importantly the fast section afterwards is compromised.
If the car is feeling sluggish or is revving too high, this is a good indication that you are in too low a gear. If you feel this might be the case, start a new session and drive two laps, first in the suspected wrong gear and then one gear higher. Check out your live delta, it'll give you your answer.
A good mistake to make since it's easy to fix! You simply need to find a slightly later braking point to maximize your lap time potential.
With approximately 11% of all of your mistakes being this one, it is still a very common mistake and easily fixed with more practice and lap consistency.
Look at where you brake on segment 4, as a whole, the corner is well handled. There are a number of factors that cost you a second. Failing to get on the gas quick enough, and a tighter racing line also needed improvement.
It can be a fine balance between too early and too late on the brakes. Sometimes, depending on the corner, 5cms difference in braking point can lose you a tenth of a second. Even though you got on the brakes earlier than the reference lap, they managed to get to full throttle more aggressively and quicker than your first half of the corner.
Full throttle is where the speed is. As long as you have control, the general aim is to get to full throttle as quickly as possible.
With 11% of all of your mistakes being this one, there is work to be done here.
Segment 9 is a good example of how you apply your throttle. Trusting your car will help to attain the throttle curve that the reference lap is able to achieve.
Take a moment to watch one of our videos that emphasises the need to get to full throttle quickly. Think smooth but fast, on / off the throttle will nearly always be slower than quick and smooth.
