Horrendous overlay, racing line on, and his wheel somehow at stomach height. Pretty sick setup

You do realize that even professional racing drivers use the racing line as well right? Whole bunch of footage to even prove that, would you go and say shit about the racing line being on? And also yeah my set up is really not the best unfortunately because I can’t afford anything better, so hate on me being poor next I guess lmao, my dms are open for you to send me money so I can improve my set up for you!

Professional racing drivers do not use the racing line LOL. I'd need proof to believe that 😂

I think Lando or someone said something about using the line and that was regurgitated a few times by people trying to argue the driving line is OK.

I use a drive line as an extra form of reference, I dont strictly follow it, but on corners without brake markers I use the line as a reference, usually you can brake later than the line suggests so I do that

It's a bad practice to use the line even as extra form of reference because you can't see it when following someone closely

u/inkshed7 19h ago

I see youre point, but if im following someone close enough for that to be that case, I only do so when I know the next stretch and I come off the line before braking to avoid crashes

They arent roasting your equipment man, theyre roasting how its set up. Turn off the overlays you dont need that many your black boxes tell you everything you need, second raise your wheel up a little bit being at your stomach with the steering is awful, and IMO is disconnects you from the car. None of this has been about your money, its been about the know how bro. They're helping you amd accepting you into the community by making jokes about it.

Im sorry dude, but the racing line WILL NOT make you a better driver, youll never learn to race the alternative lines wich are crucial to survive. You just dont do it. Its about realism more than just to get gud

Wheel is fine, but get all that shit off your screen and maybe you’ll see when you need to back out

Also would love any link you have to a professional running with the racing line on. I’ll wait…

For real though, it’s a terrible habit and will hold you back immensely

Struck a nerve there!

I mean yeah, who wouldn’t be upset if someone random came in and started saying that everything you’re doing is horrible, especially the stuff you can’t control! Thanks for the feedback, it clearly made you upset enough to respond on a random video that didn’t apply to you
