Cheers John, enjoyed that one. Looking forward to the next one, but maybe where I come out on top 🤣
@nock-racing Good clean battles like that anyone can win, hopefully it's a good track for us both next week.
I watched Nick's video of this race yesterday John. It was a pity he got caught out by the kerb at T1 as you were both having a good little battle. 👍
@doug_vickers Yeah I thought our battle was going to keep going until the finish line the way it was going.
Fella has a bit of a gob on him huh? Just another racing incident I think. Fair warning though, Charlotte is gonna be pure carnage. Picked up two wins in a row from last because of people just wiping out, good way to christen my wheel. So I think there might be some hope for a dub this week for you! Enjoying your content mate, hoping to catch you streaming again soon!
@celestialflea Oh I have already experienced the carnage at Charlotte in the MX5 this week, video uploading as I type. Streaming wise I am looking at doing a stream on the 13th of this month trying out some of the new updates and content on iRacing. New wheel seems to be working well for you this week 🏆🏁

Just bit too late on the brakes there John it seems. Happens to us all. The funny thing is he shouted at you for not holding the brakes, but had you held them, the incident would have been a lot worse. I had to re-wind the video as I notice you'd got another 4x at the top of the screen, but wasn't sure how, but seems like the re-join from the car on the right was the cause.
@nock-racing Yeah the 4x seems to have been a net code 4x as I didn't feel a thing or even notice it at the time which is frustrating.
Drove it in just a tad too deep brother. Enjoy watching your stuff. I’m 77 years old reliving my youth.
@williamduncan5495 Yeah, that was 100% my fault. I'm glad you enjoy the videos, plenty more to come.
very clean driving, easy mistakes to make don’t sweat it, other drivers get super locked in and butt hurt, we all want clean racing so never take the harsh words serious. well driven mate
@xaviert8966 Thank you, it was my fault for the contact and ending up facing the wrong way so I wasn't too bothered about a few words over the chat.
You have my sympathy John. I did the SGN league race at Spa in the rain driving the Mercedes GT3 tonight and it was horrible. It also ended in the dark as well. Strange this race wasn't using the updated version of Spa.
@doug_vickers Sounds like you had a really fun race Doug 😳
That lap 1 was insane! Unlucky at the end there John, it may have been a different story if it was just 3rd and 4th, but you didn't stand a chance with the volume of cars that descended on you. Good result though, from 15th on the grid 👍🏻
@nock-racing When two or more drivers work together on the ovals it is amazing how much faster they can go. I was just happy to survive this one.
You’re braver than I am John. Rain and me hate each other.
@williamduncan5495 Braver maybe, cleverer for doing this race definitely not 🤣
Tough one John, but could have been worse on the SR, so maybe take that as a positive. The rain races are certainly not ones you want to jump into without a little practice. I'm sure you saw from my run, but taking a wide line in Eua Rouge was the best way to keep speed up. There were numerous "rivers" running across the track here which made getting traction very tricky, with one of the worst being the right hander onto the "back straight" (which you did find at one point).
@@nock-racing You definitely had the track and conditions figured out better in your race thanks to getting some practice in.
That is an awesome track. They do need to bring it up to code but it is a great place to race.
@timroden6617 Great fun to race but it would be mega scary in real life 😳😎
@@John74YT Hense bring it up to code. Safer barriers, catch fencing. etc.
Well that went better that I thought it would John. I've done Monza conbined with the oval before but never done just the oval. A pretty good result for you in the end though.
@@doug_vickers Far better result than I was expecting as I thought I would be the one who caused the big crash.
Oval in Monza? It is just a dream for us we live close to the track...
@esencia78 It would be amazing 😎
Unlucky John was looking good up to that point
@Tomo-bm5lw Thank you, just trying to stay ahead a little bit to hard.
What wheel and pedals do you use john?great video mate👍
@@DMNTDsimDEMON Thank you 👍🏻 I use the Logitech DD PRO wheel and Fanatec CSL Pedals with the loadcell upgrade.
John leading a race? Universe: *restores balance* I think your accident was just a racing incident, nothing more.
@celestialflea Yeah we chatted about it after and agreed it was just one of those things where we both could have done better.
Unfortunate contact John as you were doing well. There was certainly a lot of carnage in this one.
@@doug_vickers Thank you, normal PCC carnage levels 🤣
I thought in the early stages you were going to waltz off into the distance . . . . and then Javier showed his hand. Certainly a quick driver, but very aggressive. Shame about your incident, just got that little bump on the kerb that unsettled the car and made you drift in front of the other car. Had it not have been for the wall on the right, you'd have got away with it a bit more.
@nock-racing Yeah he was really fast and aggressive with it, a little too much at times.
It did need the chicane
@@timroden6617 🤣 maybe
That was unlucky being collected John but you fought back well for a decent finish. 👍
@doug_vickers Thank you, it really wasn't my day but glad I was still able to have a fun race.
WOW! Making that move stick in the final corner on Lap 7 was amazing, I honestly thought there was going to be contact as you were straightening up. Excellent recovery drive mate, I'm sure one of these weeks we'll get to have a battle in the MX5 👍🏻
@@nock-racing Hopefully next week 😎
Always commendable when you do the Green Hell and just jump in with minimal practice and still bring it home. Very well done. 👏👏
@@andymiller5585 Thank you 👍🏻
Laguna is one of my favorite tracks even if the races can be hit or miss, best finish here is 3rd starting from the back in the MX5's but also enjoying this weeks track, already managed a 4th.
@@celestialflea Sounds like you are having a better week than me 😎🏁
@@John74YT Not since getting my new wheel unfortunately, been a huge learning curve for me.
It will be worth it though 😎
That was a brave race to take on. Laguna is a bugger with the best racers but this was a buttkicker race!!
@@phoenixmotorsport647 Brave yes, clever definitely not 🤣
Not a bad result from last place to 10th. Laguna Seca has never been a good track for me but it is quite a fun track.
@doug_vickers I like the track just don't always like sharing it with other racers.
Good racing John considering you don't like this track
@@Tomo-bm5lw Definitely not my favourite as I never seem to go that well here.
It used to be known as the "Commentator's Curse", I think we'll now call it the "Content Creator's Curse". If it's any consolation, I've felt the same on the last 2/3 outings in WSS. It seems like I'm a bad omen for you and you always end up getting smashed from pilar to post
@@nock-racing Content creators curse sounds about right.
That was going pretty well. All it takes is a slight mistake and whammo it goes all wrong. I missed this race but might jump in the next week with more oval cars chosen.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg Do it, I will hopefully giving it a go at the weekend.
Mental. Shame about the lap 3 incident I was on the edge of my chair for most of that lap.
@@nelsonsimracing I seem to like these crazy races for some reason.
Nope, this isn't the craziest race you can do. The craziest race you can do is the same race, but in the wet 🤣
Oh no no no, don't give iracing any more crazy ideas.
@@John74YT A pretty quick way to reduce grown men to tears too lmao
The only place this combo should have in iracing is week 13🙈😂
@Candiedsimdemon You could be right, it's crazy enough for week 13.
Hey! I am the guy on P2 who did the 6:54:) i could help you with some driving if you want:)
@@Fensteraufkipp Always happy to receive some free advice 👍🏻
Well that was mighty unfortunate, not like you were pushing hard either. At least you got it to the flag John, seems like a lot of people are a little throttle heavy here in this car
@nock-racing Yeah you had to be real gentle on the throttle and crazy early on the brakes which was catching so many out.
Hey John, Are you part of a team ?
@fifesimracerguy455 Ian ( Intraphase ) and myself run as a team for the special events as we have known each other in real life for a good few years.
@@John74YT Well if you ever want to run together under a esports team for special events then hit me up as we have a few high IR guys looking to expand the roster for things like Creventic and Leagues
Great race ,really consistent driving
Thank you 👍🏻
Some great battles a clean driving there John, racing always that little bit extra when the fun factor is there
I really enjoy a good clean battle even if I don't come out on top.
If I was Adam I'd be really annoyed that a back marker got between you on the final lap to ruin the battle. Of course, I'm team John all day so it was great news for you, took off a little pressure 🤣
I definitely needed some pressure taking off for that last lap.
We've all had those finishes John where you really don't know if you got it or not with just millimetres in it. Didn't look the easiest of cars to drive, not sure if it's just the track or the car in general
By how few were driving it, the BMW was not the car to be in.
Yeah, to me that was a racing incident. there's no obvious change of direction from either of you, although he could have left a bit more room, it's just unfortunate. Tough one that one, I've heard that the Cup car is a difficult car to drive. At least Fuji pretty much secured your SR for the rest of the season so although we don't like to see it, the 10x isn't as impactful here
Nah, the Porsche Cup isn't that difficult to drive. You just have to realize that you don't have TC and ABS and drive accordingly, than you will be fine.
I'm finding you need a good trail braking technique with this car which I don't really have.
@@Arthur-Tromp Which is why it is difficult to drive on the limit and very unforgiving. Small mistakes can loose you a lot of time and a lot of stuff you can get away with in gt3/gt4 will send you flying in the wall...There is a gigantic time gap between top drivers and average in the cup compared to other series. Saying that the CUP "isn't that difficult to drive" just shows that you most likely do not know what you are talking about.
Ehh, he moved in the braking zone and reduced your braking zone by 20 feet just as you were about to brake. Change 'lanes' immediately before a brake zone at your own risk. It looks like they may not have calculated how early they'd have to brake, forcing them to move perhaps? They were forgetting there were what 3 or more cars back almost bumper to bumper. Guess what? When you are in a stream of cars tailgating others your brake point just moved back 20 feet per car. You had several car lengths and would have likely been okay had they properly prepared and not cut into your brake zone.
yeah i found the g82 hard to drive at sebring as well, just seemed off. granted i was able to brake way later into corners. the amg was quite nimble around sebring for me.
I always seem to pick the worst car when I jump into a race without any practice.
4th Is also the best I've been able to manage at Laguna, can't get faster than high 1 min 39's so I can't complain for controller laps. New wheel ships in a few days, so will see how my lap times compare!
It will be very interesting indeed.
P4 well done John! By the way what overlays are you using? I am starting with iracing soon and collecting some info :)
Thank you 👍🏻 I'm using Racelab Overlays, they do a free basic version which is more than good enough to get started with.
I like the cayman the best for Sebring 🤓
That's one car I always struggle with for some reason.
Its funny how karma always seems to find the perfect timing. Bmw is definitely struggling on Sebring, very challenging combo
Karma does like to strike 😎
Sounds like a bunch of short shifting early on. That and youre a tad heavy on the brakes in the slalom section. Thatllmake up the second difference you had with p1
Could be right there, don't drive the car often enough to be getting 100% out of it.
Off in the distance a faint voice can be heard, yelling, "John Davie! I am coming for you!!"
Not again 🤣
Don't kick yourself. You still drove a 0x race with the second fastest car there. There was no way anyone was catching you.
Considering I don't drive the car that often I'm very happy just to have made it to the end without crashing.
Well, it was fun while it lasted! Well driven there John, the car number curse you at least. Mark's a good driver in the Skippy, but I think also he had a bit of the "Home Advantage" here 🤣 2 positives for me to take from this one though. 1) I found a good 2 seconds of time just from practice to the race session, and 2) Because my mic source was wrong in OBS, we get to give it another go 👍🏻
Mark definitely had home advantage as well as knowing how to drive these cars.
Hey John, do you know the name or link to the mod of the small gimbal showing the location of other drivers?
If you mean the top left of my screen, that's an overlay by Racelab. If you mean the radar that pops up over my wheel that's an in game app that was on by default for me.
@@John74YT Thanks!
I'm glad you mentioned the cut warnings. I thought I was losing my mind!!
Very strict this week.
