"Brake as late as possible" is possibly the most famos racing quote - and it couldn't be less useful. This video clears up what that actually means and why braking late is earlier than you think! ▶ New Telemetry Software https://Popometer.io ➥ Join this channel to get access to coaching and track guide videos:    / @simracingpopometer   Hardware referral links, support me by using them (thanks!): ▶ Fanatec https://tinyurl.com/fananils ▶ MOZA https://tinyurl.com/mozanils ▶ General Sim Hardware https://eu.sim-motion.com/?wpam_id=7 🦓 -Merch: https://bscompetition.com/store 🎮 Simracing Hardware Guide ✅: https://www.naujoks-simracing.com/har...

Learning how to drive fast takes time, dedication and persistence. Assetto Corsa Competizione is one of the best simulations with highly sensitive aerodynamics that want to be respected. Telemetry, such as motec helps with analyzing car behavior and finding major issues in the car setup or driving style. Special sim racing hardware also helps with becoming better, but certainly is not the solution to your problems. Load cell pedals offer better feel. Stronger but most importantly more detailed force feedback of e.g. direct drive wheels offer more immersive sensations. Though I know and I've seen throughout the years, people with entry level hardware perform on top level. 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:36 Why it's bad advice 00:02:12 How we got here 00:04:42 The problem with "as late as possible" 00:07:23 Changing perspective - what is the "latest"? 00:09:29 Applying new technique in different corner types 00:12:38 Key Takeaways
