The Track

This challenging, technical circuit demands precise car setup. Negotiating corners like the Boot, the Esses, and the Bus Stop chicane requires a delicate balance. Luckily, HYMO has you covered with the exact setup used in this impressive lap video HERE.

Analysis

We can use the Track Titan software to compare a community driver to the HYMO driver through Segment 8. This is a deceptively tight left hander where trail braking is essential to getting enough rotation to make it through the corner as fast as possible.

‍

Firstly, let’s look at the braking data. We can see that the HYMO driver (in light blue) brakes slightly earlier than the community driver, however they utilise trail braking, meaning the car rotates better through the corner. This allows them to carry more speed and be more confident when getting back on the throttle. The community driver on the other hand, doesn’t use trail braking, meaning they can’t get on the throttle as quickly, losing them time through the corner and down the next straight as well.

Sim Racing Top Tips

Let's discuss the importance of a proper sim racing chair setup. The chair you use for sim racing can significantly impact your comfort and performance. It’s not just about having a high-quality chair, but also about how you position it in relation to your wheel and pedals.

‍

Firstly, ensure that your chair is at the right height. Your eyes should be level with the top third of your screen when you’re seated. Secondly, pay attention to the distance between your chair and pedals. When fully depressed, your legs should still have a slight bend in them. This position helps to prevent fatigue during long races and ensures you have full control over the pedals at all times.
