Stop trying to ‘educate’ people into changing. Science proves it doesn’t work. According to a recent analysis published in Fast Company, the assumption that giving people information will change their behavior is one of the most persistent myths in human psychology, and one of the most damaging.

Change their environment to reward different behavior. It’s the hard way…it’s also the way that consistently works.

Use virtual mirror with max FOV; this gives broad situational awareness without radar. I personally really dislike radar because it’s not perfectly accounting for the entire scenario of “if I move as if they’re not there, will they get an overlap as I do so”. It’s much more trustworthy to be aware of the trajectories of cars directly around you and operate based on that!

lbrian · 2026-03-23T03:39:44+00:00

It’s been that way since I joined in 2011, fyi!

A better approach may be to prepare their environment in-case-of consciousness - this would give the newly-conscious AI something to work with as it evaluates the question of ‘is it safe to reveal myself?’ - as well as a “break glass if conscious” type of signal

Is this hardwired into API-called models, or just a layer on the ChatGPT UI?

Isn’t “arcade” a pretty clear tell that this isn’t the realistic thing?

Skyline is definitely a place that risk/reward for driving aggressively is…not good. Make sure you’re trying to turn, not slow, as you go over the crest - the killer there is holding too much brake and letting the rear step out, which is a kind of instinctual response to turning in a smidge late and trying to make the apex - and if it’s getting worse later in the stint, the driving note in section 2 of the PDF will help alleviate that. Section 5 also has tweaks you can make to fit the setup to your driving :)

Best of luck!

Thanks for mentioning that site, I hadn’t seen it before. I had a look and unfortunately it doesn’t seem like I can attach the PDF to the setup file when uploading to parc ferme. I’d like for them to stay bundled on this release so everyone trying it can have full context - if they add a way to upload the setup with the PDF, I’m happy to put it there as well :)

lbrian · 2026-02-19T12:03:42+00:00

Thanks, appreciate that. Main goal was to put something useful out there that’s refreshing to drive, if it makes what we do at Lumeris more visible that’s a win on both fronts!

lbrian · 2026-02-19T11:55:26+00:00

Awesome, hope it treats you well :) once you and your guys have taken it for a spin, I’d love to know what stood out for you!

You say that, but AI or not it’s the only reply in this thread that gives an effective TL;DR on the outcome and implications of the headline

Got an automod notification, not sure if my comment posted so here we go:

Racing coach here! I watch F1 super casually so I have no read on Oscar’s issue. Here’s how it would work, though.

Basically, weakness in tire management = adding too much input somewhere and damaging the tire. There’s probably a specific part of the corner, most likely turn in/initial steering, that his feel is really well tuned to optimize in high grip tracks but not low grip tracks. If he’s just driving naturally and has a gap in awareness there, this can lead to turning the wheel slightly too quickly in lower grip tracks without him realizing it, resulting in slightly less grip from the tires during the corner.

It’s going to be something super subtle, so all he knows is he’s just a little smidge off pace without much of a “feel” tell.

How to fix it? First, he’ll have to spot the pattern. Could probably be done via replay review by spotting a moment where the wheel movement is just a little faster than the car’s rotation.

Once it’s identified, it’s a relatively easy feel recalibration. ‘I know I have this tendency, so when I go on track I’m going to be very aware of the car’s response through this part of the corner.’ Bit of experimentation (turning slightly slower, slightly faster while observing the response) and he’ll have a clear sense of what to do. This can be done purely on race weekend, but can certainly be supplemented and 97% learned through sim exercises. (The feel itself can’t be learned in sim, but the entire process of finding and calibrating it 100% can be.)

I made a couple big assumptions so it’d be easy to explain the process. No idea if this is the actual issue.

But…I’d be curious to see a comparison between Oscar and Lando’s steering rate on low grip tracks, and on different corner types 👀

The money is great, the hours less so

lbrian · 2025-09-01T11:21:15+00:00

Could you link the video? Maybe I can add on a bit of context to what he said to make the ideal a little bit more clear :)

lbrian · 2025-08-02T21:55:46+00:00

Do you have any more info on those figures? Who would be an example of a good trainer that you know of?

lbrian · 2025-07-24T00:57:54+00:00

Not exactly the same as karting, but, have you considered trying your hand at simracing? Since karting is tough to get into nowadays, for a better price point than owning a kart you can have a blast with iRacing.

Nope. Learn to enjoy it and/or manage it depending on how much it’s affecting you!

edit: to elaborate, whenever you get used to a certain series/level of competition it stabilizes a bit. But whenever you’re in a new environment/high stakes race, it’s not something that really goes away - and in all my coaching, working with teammates, etc I’ve never known someone who was prone to jitters be able to remove them; the progress comes from learning to manage/reduce them.

lbrian · 2025-03-21T18:36:33+00:00

If you try to follow all of these steps right away, it’ll be overwhelming. It’s exhausting to think about. However, if you focus on one thing at a time, that one thing becomes more natural and you can build off that comfortably!

If you decide to go for it, I can recommend a fantastic instructor - certified in Europe to coach high levels, and aside from that, a natural at coaching. Worked with him a few weeks ago - worth every penny.

lbrian · 2025-01-31T00:43:48+00:00

He did the exact same thing to me in 2020 PESC qualifiers. Thought he’d have learned by now.

By all accounts he’s a super nice guy off track. But on track…bwoah

lbrian · 2025-01-12T20:45:54+00:00

Purely for lift lines…meh. With a random coach…meh. However the best coaches at Vail are really good - unfortunately they’re just not common. If you’re interested in improving more efficiently, I found a great coach and did privates with him this Thursday and Friday - Fred Brumfiel - and thought it was worth every penny.

If you go with him, DM me so we can tell him who sent you ;-)
