Every hopeful sim racer has to start somewhere, right? Whether it’s a rookie Mazda race on iRacing, a Low Fuel Motorsport lobby on ACC or a daily race on Gran Turismo 7, there are always fundamental things you should know.
So, who better on our team than professional esports racer Emily Jones to help you all out? In this video, the 2021 Porsche TAG Heuer Esports Supercup All-Stars champion will talk you through everything you will need to know about what techniques are required to go quicker on racing games.
Different Games Require Different Techniques
It’s no secret that driving an F1 car requires a different approach than driving a GT3 car. But the differences in techniques can also apply to the platform as well. In fact, Emily also did a video on just that when it came to iRacing and Assetto Corsa Competizione.
We also interviewed Jamie Fluke who competed in the VCO Esports Racing World Cup, which was held on three platforms. He provided a fascinating insight on how he and his teammates had to adapt to rFactor 2 and ACC after only ever competing on iRacing.
Of course, it’s always a good idea to develop the best techniques for fundamentals such as braking and acceleration. However, there are more specific tips and tricks which the best racers deploy to make sure they get ahead. Getting a good start, remaining consistent, and even simply knowing the rules are all very important things to practice as well. To learn about all these, and more, watch our video now.
