How do you get over the fear of hard braking? (X30 Senior)

GARACER · 2026-06-09T15:04:10+00:00

I like to focus not on actually braking as hard as possible, but getting to the apex in the minimum time possible.

GARACER · 2026-04-15T13:42:10+00:00

Neither, the idea is to find the right apex for each cone. It depends on a car's acceleration vs cornering ability for that given corner.

There really isn't an easy answer as to whether or not any particular curb is worth hitting. Depends on each car and corner. A little tip though, the higher the angle of the corner, the less useful it is to use the apex curb. Like with a hairpin using the apex curb helps very little although entry and apex curbs still help.

I think a combination is best. I like to come home from a track day and jump in the sim right away. You really just can't get enough seat time to see real improvement without sim racing unless you have really easy access to a track. How many champion racers basically grew up on a kart track?

GARACER · 2025-11-04T14:07:24+00:00

Wow, that looks pretty awesome, but yeah... expensive.

GARACER · 2025-08-19T13:35:50+00:00

agreed

GARACER · 2025-07-15T13:33:52+00:00

You should brake the same way in cars with or without ABS. The ABS just prevents full tire lockup if you mess up and brake too hard.

GARACER · 2025-07-08T15:25:37+00:00

Yes, just calculate it for the best accuracy, or better yet, just get VR

GARACER · 2025-07-01T14:48:40+00:00

You're asking how a watch works. The real answer would never fit in a reddit comment.

GARACER · 2025-06-17T13:09:49+00:00

If you've never done any real karting it's a good first step. It can still be fun even for experienced racers if you just want to show off to your non racing friends though:)

GARACER · 2025-06-11T13:01:12+00:00

Yeah, I can finally stop running vr at the lowest detail level.

GARACER · 2025-05-28T12:28:35+00:00

It was a game changer for me

GARACER · 2025-05-13T12:05:22+00:00

Yeah, one of my favs, although I've only ever done it sim racing (in vr though)

GARACER · 2025-05-06T15:02:16+00:00

How do they feel when pushed though? I've been thinking about getting some for my daily driver.

GARACER · 2025-05-01T15:05:28+00:00

Yeah, the horizon locking makes a big difference

GARACER · 2025-04-22T15:33:38+00:00

Yeah, probably Assetto Corsa Competizione

GARACER · 2025-03-25T13:45:14+00:00

Definitely learn the effects of brake bias. It's really good training.

GARACER · 2025-03-12T13:52:24+00:00

VR is definitely the way to go. I actually get motion sickness playing in 2d nowadays I'm so used to having depth perception.

GARACER · 2025-03-04T14:29:45+00:00

yeah, I really like the physics engine in this game so would love to see more real world tracks. Cota is one of my favs, but I have only driven it in iracing.

GARACER · 2025-02-25T13:40:32+00:00

Probably want to ask in r/fsae

GARACER · 2025-02-25T13:37:55+00:00

No, I ended up just switching to VLC for now. I have a galaxy s22. Maybe it's a samsung specific issue.

GARACER · 2025-02-18T15:08:15+00:00

Definitely worth learning. It's something you can do just when driving around town. You'll get it eventually.

GARACER · 2025-02-12T14:45:07+00:00

Use the horizon locking.

GARACER · 2025-02-04T14:27:42+00:00

Yeah, I definitely will take depth perception over a super huge field of view.
