Which line would you take for a faster exit speed, Blue or Orange???

The final turn at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in the States, is a very slow speed, hairpin left. Which leads on to the long main straight and into Turn 1. Arguably one of the most important corners on the circuit.

Which line would you take to optimize corner exit speed for the pit straight? both lines have their advantages/disadvantages, which are you taking?

Double Gauche at Spa Francorchamps is a very high speed, literal "double left".

This corner offers a number of different racing lines to allow for different apexes, entry and exit speeds.

1 Minute Clinic - with Ted. This time we are looking at Drifting.

Although Drifting is a sport in its own, the ability to hold and predict a rear-end slide is a necessary skill that drivers can convert to circuit racing and of course Rally.

A power slide is a car manoeuvre that involves the application of the throttle to 'steer' the rear of the car, this can help the car rotate on its axis and position itself better whilst cornering.

What do you think about Drifting? and should there be more of it online?

IT'S HERE! - https://bit.ly/3CB6PPK

D61 HAS PUT TOGETHER THE ULTIMATE F1 VEHICLE SETUP GUIDE. Showing you how to fix all your handling issues with every setup change available in the F1 games.

Similar to our ACC setup guide, the tool highlights key handling characteristics that you can dial out quickly and effectively with changes to car setup.

Remember when making changes to the car, that it is important to change one aspect at a time, followed by testing and practice. Almost all changes to vehicle setup will have a positive and negative effect. So take your time, and learn how each vehicle setup effects the car.

Blue or Orange? For QUALIFYING which is best??

We had a lot of requests to look at Mount Panorama, Bathurst. Arguably THE most important turn on the circuit, Forest Elbow, leads on to a very long, downward straight.

This slow speed left hander hairpin, deals with elevation, blind apexes and tight walls. Blue shows an opening line, taking the initial "Dipper" section slower, hugging tight to the wall to allow for a wider entry to Forest Elbow.

Orange is faster through the Dipper section, but forces braking off line to give a tighter entry to Forest Elbow. Does the time you save through the dipper help the lap time overall???

Karting and Sim Racing???

Do the two work together? In our experience, there seem to be some very blurry lines between karting and sim racing. The two don't seem to have jelled together.

There are however a few platforms out there today that do offer a fun, semi-accurate driving experience. Kartkraft and Kart Racing Pro both offer great graphics, audio and driving physics.

Driver61 has now started coaching in Karting based platforms as we believe it is a fantastic way to learn basic car fundamentals like racing lines, steering smoothness and pedal application.

What are your thoughts on Karting in Sim Racing?

Another 1 Minute Clinic by Ted - a Driver61 Instructor and Coach.

This time we are looking more closely at throttle application and how this can affect the balance and grip of the car.

A theory called "The Traction Circle" by where the cars overall amount of grip is devised into 3 main actions; accelerating, decelerating and turning. Each action uses a percentage of the cars overall grip, so your driving style has to account for this. Expertly explained in this short video
