If you want to drive fast in sim racing, being able to rotate the car is of paramount importance. Many newer drivers in Gran Turismo or Forza believe this is done using just the steering wheel, But that couldn’t be farther from the truth., and by doing so they’re making themselves slow in Racing Games…
Fast drivers are able to turn the car without the steering wheel - and it’s a vital technique to squeezing out as much time on a lap as possible.
But what do I mean by rotation? If we look at a car from a birds eye view, and jab a pin through the middle of it, the car will spin around the centre point. When you steer in a car, this is effectively what you are doing. *helicopter sound take off*
Most drivers, when turning into a corner will let off the brakes, and feed the steering wheel into the turn. But, doing this, they are relying purely on the front tyres to get into the corner. Which, is not only slower, but it also increases tyre wear.
Some corners require more rotation, especially the slower breed. And, this simple act of rotation using the wheel won’t cut it. We need a new method to gain more rotation, so we can get through the turn more efficiently.
These fast drivers actually steer or rotate the car using the pedals, just as much as they do with the wheel. I know that it sounds foolish, but it’s true.
Look at this, I’m going to lock my wheel to just 100 degrees of rotation. Not a lot at all, especially to get through a tight turn. We approach it at some serious speed, and not much steering to work with, we won’t get through the turn in a million years.
However, with the technique I’m about to show you, we can get through the turn with absolutely no issue. Well maybe more issues than I expected whilst writing this script… But we managed to get farther than no pedal steering nonetheless. It might not be pretty, or particularly fast. But, it’s a proof of concept. Here’s the amount the car rotated with pedal steering compared to just wheel steering.
So how can you steer using the pedals, and get the car to rotate more dramatically? There are a couple techniques you should master. *three way split*
As we brake, the weight of the car is shifted forward, and loaded onto the front tyres. As we discovered in my “Why SMooth is faster video”, this extra load of weight gives the tyres more traction. – thus making the car turn better.
But as soon as you left off the brakes, most of this extra weight is removed. So instead of lifting off, then turning in. WHat i want you to try is turning whilst braking.
Enter the braking zone, and slam on the anchors, and as you start to lift off the brakes, turn the wheel into the corner. A general rule of thumb is the more steering you use, the less brakes should be applied.
You’ll notice that the car turns into the corner much faster this way, or in other words, there is more rotation happening due to this shift of weight, and because we’re blending both steering and braking actions, this technique usually allows you to brake a lot later. And all of this combined equals faster lap times. If you hadn’t worked it out yet, this technique is calledtrailbraking.
But, it’s not only on the entrance to a corner that we can steer using the pedals. Say you enter a turn, and you notice you’re starting to understeer whilst on the accelerator. This is because whilst accelerating, the weight is moved to the rear tyres, meaning the fronts don’t have enough traction to steer.
What you can do in this situation is lift off the throttle. Once again moving the weight to the front tyres, allowing you to rotate the car mid corner. This is called blending the throttle. If you want more rotation, be more aggressive with this blend, less? Be more gentle.
Just like this gentle transition, into my next video, in which we discover whether drifting or gripping is actually faster…
