2014-06-25
hey guys what's up J here and this is the last video you will see with my friend barnacles I'm going back to Washington woo and I'm equally as sick of him as you guys I promise not really like a liar big dirty filthy liar well first of all right now I am currently in New York City what I like currently currently just at the time of watching oh yeah we own those like time matrix things going on all of them that I'll be in Seattle yeah so he's not here I'm not here you guys are watching this because I didn't want to leave you guys without any videos we're going to go ahead and turn some laps here and then I'm gonna coach Jerry in the BMW z4 gt3 on Lime Rock which is pretty easy it's a small track it's wide yeah and you've already seen how I've driven on that track it's pretty horrible so left side down left yeah pretty much left to my own devices I can't drive for on that course so I'm curious to see if with Jays coaching I can actually do a lot better in a little amount of time okay so here's how this is going to work I'm gonna do a couple of laps here I'm pretty much just gonna tell you what I'm doing what I'm thinking while I'm doing it half of its gonna be like food and the other half is gonna be like sex okay and then when that stuff isn't actually coming out of my I was gonna say coming out of my mouth uh this video is just coming out of your where so I'm gonna basically coach this guy and do some laps tell him why I do what I do see if we can't improve his lap times and maybe you'll beat my time let's hope so now disclaimer I am NOT a professional driver I have had my racing license back in the past but that was well over 15 years about 12 years ago he's just covering his ass in case this all goes horribly wrong yeah well that's a disclaimer so there's plenty you guys out there who could turn a faster lap and for that I genuinely applaud because that is it's not easy so if you're on a faster lap tell Jerry how to drive tell me how to drive so let's go ahead and get in some lime rocks some z4 gt3 action and let's let's just go ahead and get onto it alright guys well Miran J's piece of simulator right here and I'm going to go ahead and turn a couple laps my way on Lime Rock in the gt3 BMW here the M it's the z4 right it's z4 gt3 z4 gt3 stock pedal stock wheel this is all bones Dom 27 all bone stock stuff but J already kicks my ass even with my like $2,500 rig so I'm gonna turn laps my way and then we're gonna have J coach me and then we're gonna turn some other laps and let's go ahead and compare the times it's kind of like it went down in Days of Thunder yeah watch your next right now paralyzed my time last time idea was a 50.1 weather oh yeah all right we're just coming off the warm-up lap so here we go first official one oops oh man I saved it give me a lot of time cutting hammer fine art my baby plus I get it all all right so very first thing to remember guys first lap is always a warm-up left the tires are cold you're not going to be able to turn you pretty much just have to drive a pole that was one of my wrecks yes all right so in this turn this is a second gear turn okay you spent every turn in here in third I did that's the second gear turn okay now my line here is because of the s turn followed followed by this turn number three right here you want to actually come wide on this turn you want to get high on the groove that way you can come in tight and you're already set up for the next turn I was otherwise yours yes Quigley through here okay and then it could be full throttle all the way through here your tires might touch the rumble strip and then you're set up for the next turn okay so the most important thing in racing is your entry and exit need to make sense for the next turn okay sometimes it make the entry may not make sense until you exit the turn that you realize you're lined up for the next turn got it coming through here this for me is going to be a fourth gear turn flat out fourth gear ape exit to the outside this car has so much downforce in such a big wing you can go full throttle through and I was lifting on everyone in my lap yeah you don't get to lift unless you're in the middle of a turn if you're on if you're in the middle of turning through there you have to lift or you're going to get light and come around got it this is also a fourth gear flat-out turn for me it's a bit of a slide if you get this turn the apex it right you pretty much right about here on the turn will just kind of slide out to about right here under full turning force okay and you're perfectly lined up for this you spent this turn does that was tricky this one always gets me this is the hardest turn for most people you spent this turn in fourth gear yes I'm always flat out fifth here oh my god how because if you come out of that turn lined up properly you come out of the turn previous to this you down sugar you up shift into fifth and you're perfectly lined up to eight PEX this just like I mentioned in the last turn you're going to slide out to the outside line flat out so it's a very it's a very harsh apex okay all right so I'm gonna go ahead and do an actual warm-up lap then we'll turn some labs and see what my times are all right on right here I break on number three full braking force down shift to second coming into here okay so it's full braking force notice I did one thing right yeah oh you were braking on August breaking on for ya all right sighs warmth all right so Jays best lap he turned was a fifty three one six and I'm actually turning about a fifty one point five ish so I've got nearly a little over second that I need to make up a lap at one point two seconds so I'm gonna go ahead and apply what J's showed me and see if we can go ahead and increase my time I think I will because I was doing my lines were dramatically different than yours the line yeah my gear appearing yeah alright let's go ahead and give this shop all right so I tried to do some coaching here and I think ultimately it might have been a little bit successful I felt like there was a vast improvement okay so my time was a fifty point three one six and your first time your best time which took you a few laps to get there was a fifty one point five ish yes now your best lap after some coaching was a fifty point nine and I think was a 908 yeah and I've never broken into the 50s so the cool thing is we drop to a whole point six seconds which on a track like this is actually quite a bit it's a short track there's none of many areas to make up some time but I don't know what the entire message of this video was maybe we just wanted to bring you guys some fun can Jerry actually drive sort of videos I think we were just trying to prove that you are faster than me and with a little instruction I could be faster too and with a little instruction I could be faster yeah so my goal now is to go home use your instruction improve upon your instruction and then come back next time and instruct you how to get into the 49 which is where I'll be here in like a week or so yeah but I think and people are pretty people I've seen people put forty sixes in this car on this track and I don't know where the hell they're making a bad time that's called cheating oh no I think ultimately you shaving point six seconds off your time is pretty impressive considering it's in a car you didn't know correct so it was interesting because it was it was purely virgin yeah virgin for life am i right fellas girls no I think the fellas might be more into you they are actually they like plumper fluffers the fact that you pulled six point six seconds off of your time in a car you didn't know on a track you knew by changing up your driving style so I mean it's not easy to be used to one thing and then you change it all up it worked for you you started slipping back into your old driving power was yeah so but at least you learned just kind of some things to look at when it comes to the track I mean it most people know that general apex rule you know you outside inside outside on a turn yeah but you got to think not just the turn that you're in especially on track like this where they have s turns you have a complete decreasing radius hairpin turn yeah so there's a lot of things to think about and sometimes the entry point may not make sense that's what she said but you basically just got to line up the car for the next turn that's what you got you guys think ahead you got to think ahead so guys I hope you enjoyed this video is just a little bit iRacing just seeing if we can improve on his times and my times need some work too my god Dan I kept trying to push it really hard kept like slamming the wall like 140 you have to admit it you can't get your fastest time when you're on camera and people are watching absolutely not you can't second you turn this thing on everybody loses a little bit of time it's very nerve-racking but I think once you get home you get in your sim you're familiar wheel you're familiar pedals with that you know that load cell load cell brake the fact that you can stand on that thing pedals aren't sliding around you're on carpet pedals here you read so I think your times are ultimately going to prove on this track now I think would be really fun in the future is teaching you how to really do some oval racing no no that's what I want to get into next without slamming into the back of the car on the start yeah all right guys well I'm gonna genuinely miss Jerry in fact I guess I already do because again you're watching this into the future yeah I'm already back in Seattle and if you're from the future please give me the lottery numbers and I'll build you all a system I promise yep well with that guys I guess we're gonna go ahead and out of here follow us on twitter at Barclays at Jay's 2 cents make sure you sub to him if you not 3d printer stuff 3 46 inch monitors yeah all right guys as always we'll catch you in the next later
