  1. After trailbraking wrong for several years I’d be overcome with joy to shave 2/10 off. This is a great breakdown on the subject.

  2. I just got my first SIM set up with Logitech GRs50 and RS pedals. Practicing trailbraking on the Master License test. It helps A LOT

  3. I first watched it for sim racing and now are re-watching it for real life trackdays. Tells a lot how far sims have come come.

  4. brilliant idea to film this in an untreated basement. looks like the person on video is being held prisoner and every word bounces around the room uncomfortably.
