Most sim racers think throttle problems are traction problems. In reality, throttle hesitation on corner exit is almost always caused by what happened earlier in the corner.

If your exits feel inconsistent, unpredictable, or like you’re constantly waiting before getting back on power, the issue usually isn’t your throttle control, setup, or traction control settings. It’s how the tyres were loaded on corner entry.

In this video, OhSabotage Games breaks down why throttle doesn’t create grip — it reveals whether grip still exists. You’ll learn how common entry mistakes quietly compromise rear grip, why exits feel like a gamble even when inputs look reasonable, and how fast drivers create effortless exits without driving aggressively.

This video covers:

Why throttle problems are usually entry problems

How braking and turn-in behaviour affect rear grip later in the corner

Why traction control and setup changes often mask the real issue

How to use throttle feel as a diagnostic tool

What a clean, confident exit actually feels like

This breakdown applies across sim racing titles including Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, and iRacing, and focuses on racecraft and driving psychology, not hotlap tricks or setup chasing. If you want speed that holds up over race distance, this is where it starts.

This video builds directly on the previous corner entry and exit analysis. If you haven’t seen that yet, it’s linked below.

Fix the entry, and the exit will fix itself.
