Congats🎉 building iR Road to 2.5k coming soon. It is nice when most battles are clean on this track
Thanks Willie! I saw your great start to the season is continuing!
That iRating is coming along nicely 😁
Thanks! I'm certainly heading in the right direction.
Good race, you were 1st for a lap! It was quite the crazy back and forth at the front of the pack.
Thanks Eric. I just need a bit more consistency and then once I've got that I can push on for that final bit of pace I need to really compete.
When your spotter says: "stay on the right," it sounds like "your other right." This would make more sense considering most of the drivers in iRacing.
LOL Yeah totally!
Is there a way to view all the incidents during a race in replay or did you edit this together yourself?
You can bind a button in controls to select next incident, so I'm controlling skipping forward but nothing much beyond that.
The usual Daytona things in all the usual places Gareth. On to the next one.
Thanks Doug, just causing problems for myself as usual!
Good racing , unfortunate with the last lap as I was expecting a race to the finish line.
Yeah, I should be better in the endurance on Saturday. I've got a bit more practice in.
Always a good feeling when you can battle a much higher rated driver. I won't mention the slight editing mishap at the end 😂
Oh nuts! I missed the incidents AND the results... what a knob! 😀
@@nelsonsimracing 😂
Good drive. It’s a pity most of the top guys pretty much sit out the week or do the minimum for the championship. With one brake point, The track is just one big lottery!
Yeah it's a weird thing, but I still love driving the Vee and I think I get a little better each time. Are you racing this season?
@@nelsonsimracing completely agree about the Vee! I had family over for 2 weeks and had a big audience watching me so I broke out my 2nd account for the 1st time which is Warren R Berlin and did 4 races with them cheering on in the background. Talk about pressure 😁I’ve had limited time and did 3 races in week 13 and one last week. I’ll be starting properly at Okayama in 2 weeks as I bought a new seat which meant I had to rework my whole rig for the new height and position. I’m doing laps to get used to it as it’s a very different position. I also moved from elastomers to all springs so lots to get used to.one of my accounts is going to be the friend and family account. Not sure which.
Good luck for when you get started!
Good recovery, unlucky to get the bump from behind.
Thanks!
Congrats on the 2k 🎉 !!!, LoL weird lines - yes I do know something you don't 😉 funny how you all follewed my weird lines after a bit 😂, Blinking - I have a button on my wheel connected to the iRacing server, especially for occasions like this, funny Jos neither you lifted 🤔, LOL you were worried about the weird lines taking you out but your SR are so dangeriously low, I am the whom should have worried, Fun race while it lasted, losing 400 IR this week because of inexperienced drives were expensive😅
Weird lines or not, you smashed it! Congrats on that win!
I would say that with your driving skill level (whatever you would want to call/rate it) you could reduce your lap time by at least 1 second, if not 1.5 sec or more, just by learning/knowing HOW to drive the car optimally. It is not about any need for more skill - it is purely in how it needs to be braked, and what gears to use to optimise its traction. One clue is NEVER use second gear - at VIR at least. But the bigger gains will be from braking SOONER and WAITING, then you can use 100% throttle around more of the turn - in that higher gear than you currently use. At lot of iRacing cars benefit from that same "doesn't seem true to real cars" manner of driving them. I find that annoying(!), but it is just what you have to do to extract the best from them. You could probably learn that "1 second" in five laps or less.... the changes are so minor, yet so huge in benefit!
Thanks for the advice, I will remember that for future runs in the M2.
Heartbreaking, so close to the win 😢
Yeah, I was pretty crushed at the time.
Nelson, you do any endurance. PCC coming up, would be great content.
Yes, I raced my first 24 hour race this year. I'm going to race the PCC endurance at VIR, most likely in the GR86 and I'm going to race Daytona 24 in the Porsche GT3 (if everything goes according to plan anyway)
@@nelsonsimracing I'm thinking about solo, any advise?
@richnotinpb1036 Sorry just saw this. Best I can suggest is practice, practice, practice. Hope you did the race, LMK how it went!
Absolute carnage. Partly the new car but mainly because the crazies come out in Week 13 🤣
This was honestly the calmest race I managed in the M2 as well. Oulton Park was insane earlier in the week...
And yea...I spose if someone sent me a free one to demo...you would not tend to be too critical of the design, eh?
Hey Jerry, I buy all my stuff. ALL OF IT. Nobody sends me anything. So how about you wind your neck in a bit, and stop accusing me of pandering. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean other people won't.
I just set mine up this morning. Sure is NOT very comfortable to sit on, eh? In fact...VERY uncomfortable.
Oh no that's too bad. I keep mine in place even when I'm not using it, I think it's comfortable.
Good racing in a new car, so much carnage on lap 1 😳😂. Gutted I missed this race.
I wish I had time to race it again, it was a great crack.
Very good
Thank you Sir Alessandro!
I have in fact raced a couple of these I enjoyed watching ur videos all season excited to see u continue the progression next season
Thanks Christian. I hope to be able to give you a run for your money soon!
Hey Gareth, it was a pleasure to race with you mate! Sorry to see that spin at the end.
Yeah, I ran out of talent! You are super rapid! Kudos.
I thought for sure you were going to get rear ended at the end of the race... fortunately you didn't and took home a good podium finish!
Me too, I really thought, given how late he was braking into that one hairpin I'd get nailed, but I think in the end having me in front as a reference actually helped him hit his mark that time!
I was a little bit nervous when you went past Ben as he looked like he was going to get VERY racey, but thankfully (between you too at least) it was kept clean and you kept your nose in front. Shame about Les' lockup, but as you said, it happens!
He pushed me, but he didn't put either of us at any real risk, so kudos to him for that. A real shame he got bumped on that last lap as I think we'd have been on for a corker of a scrap to the finish...
Gutted, I thought you had that one 😳😕🏁
IKR I was already sipping the champagne on that one...
Tough luck. Too much time off both the throttle and brake in the last corner. Get on the throttle just before you are fully off the brake and that will find you time there.
Yeah, definitely too cautious. I'll probably have one more try at it, because I love the combo.
@ I love this track. Shout if you want the telemetry. I managed a 1:48:588 tonight after an hours practice using the app.
Sure, send it over and I'll see if I can do better with it! Thanks
Incredible driving! I started sweating just by seeing how close you 3 were the whole time lol. Had a similar ending recently (the lower split version tho) where P2 divebombed me at the last corner and the collision made me get disqualified. Flew too close to the sun I guess, lessons were learned!
Thanks! I love the close racing in the Vee, it's what keeps me coming back for more all the time, but sometimes that closeness just bites you in the butt! 😀
Ahhhh man what a race! Tough break brother! I guess you can say the last corner you faced him One on Juan.
I don't know what's worse, the end of that race, still being behind you in the Championship, or that joke.... 😉
@@nelsonsimracing I couldn't resist that joke hehe. I had a terrible race tonight myself. I was running 6th battling for 5th on the last lap and some back marker completely binned me to the shadow realm. Dropped my SR to1.5, guaranteeing my A license demotion and knocked me back a good -60 iRating.
Oh no! Demotion is the worst. Good news is, they can't stop us racing the Vee!
Congrats on the race bro. Love the videos and would love to see a video of your sim setup, looks like a great setup from what I can see
I do need to do a new rig tour video, I'll start work on that. Thanks for the compliments!
Hey mate. Quick question on your shifter. I know you drive the Vee (and probably the FF1600) alot. Does the auto-blip built into the moza shifter allow you to run with auto blip off in iRacing? Any noticeable improvement in laptime?
As far as I can tell it's no better or worse that auto blip in iracing. Other games may be different, but I don't think auto blip costs you anything in iracing, not as much as auto clutch does anyway.
Congrats, Lap 1 with no 3 spinning and no 7 missing the corner turn in made a nice open run for you. Luck helps and playing safe make luck turn more in your favour. You could have followed Craig one more lap since he was oulling you further ahead by more than half a second a lap on 3rd position, always help to have a bit nore gap if you mess up a corner. Thanks for posting, nice to see me flying again 😂 luckily got my points back in later races.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunate one for you. I did think about sitting behind Craig, but he had a couple of wobbles and I was concerned he might lose it.
Yeah pretty solid race and result there Gareth - Nothing stupid and played it smart behind the backmarker to pull you a little further away 👍🏻
Cheers Nick.
Nice result 👍🏻🏁
Thanks John!
Congrats on the finish Gareth! You and are are literally hugging on the series standings LOL
Thanks! Yeah we're taking this fight down to the last week I think!
I mean that was just Idiotic. There's a reason why in some formula there's a "move once" and "no weaving" on the straight and that's the reason why. If he'd have had a little more race craft, he'd had realised that track position on the last lap here isn't what you want. At least you managed to keep it pointing forward and you still took that well deserved win Gareth 👍🏻
Cheers Nick!
blocking attempt cost him a good result. Congrats on the win
Thanks!
George needs to go read the sporting code section again on blocking. He's lucky you didn't report him and given him a nice vacation. Congrats on the win Gareth! That was the smart play on the final turn.
I know there's some value in protesting for learning purposes, but I tend to leave it for all but the most egregious cases. You're only a few spots above me in the Championship after that win. Not sure I'll get closer next week though as I'm terrible at Ledenon.
I think the orange car needs to grow up. Major case of "main character syndrome" throughout that race. Hopefully they will learn the error of their ways and get better, but I'm guessing they will start moaning that they are 'always getting hit' and end up heading to a different sim or game. 😂 Great result for you mate.
Cheers Damo
Top split soon!
Yeah, just in time for Ledenon... yuck. 😉
That was a nasty blocking attempt at the end there, he was really willing to take the both of you out just so you wouldn't take first
Yeah and the sad thing is that he probably blames me for the way it finished and will learn nothing from the experience...
Steals one at the line , nicely done 🏁👍🏻
It ain't over until the flag waves!
Good job Gareth. Seems you had more compliant BMW's than the race I did with John. It's good to see it wasn't just me that thought Druids got slippier and slippier as the race went on. It became a real handful 👍🏻
I think conditions in your race were worse than mine and the M4s in my race seemed to confine their idiocy to themselves, it certainly makes for a less stressful race.
Good shit!
Thanks!
Hey Gareth, good race and finish! Way to stay out of trouble. Driver in the Gulf livery was a menace LOL. Summit point was a rough one for me, I had to do a 5th and 6th race to bring my championship points average up. Since Summit the momentum in my races have been going in the positive direction. As for how I deal with slumps or multiple bad races ... after every race good or bad, I watch my replays and analyze any incidents and/or close calls I was involved in and figure out how I could have best avoided or approached the dangerous situation. I also analyze my passes and moves that go really well and try and remember my positioning and approach as to how I made the pass or positioning move happen. Thanks for the watch! Keep up the good work brother!
That's great advice I do think I need to spend more time looking at the lead up to incidents to figure out how to avoid them.
I hope you played the lottery that night Gareth, because that was a lucky escape 👍🏻Nice racing mate, a very sensible drive
Yeah, I saw it coming, but there's still so much luck involved in avoiding the results of the crashes in front.
Good points👍, ah you did not air your 1st race. LoL you got mugged in Lap 5, I just let them go, they will take each other out eventually in 80% of cases. WoW fisrt time I see a loose wheel in the Vee's, would have been interesting to see what would happen when it gets hit. in race 1 and others yiu often miss gears which most of time cost you a position or loosing a tow, I would suggest going back to using Auto Clutch, consistensy is key. Love watching your videos, thanks
Thanks! I'll look at the clutch setting.
Just ordered one!
Nice! I hope you like it!
Good battling 🏁
Usually in the Skippy these battles end in disaster for me, but this one really turned fun and successful!
Great result, this is a great series to do this week.
Agreed, there has been some incredible content based on this combo this week!
Maybe you should drive GT3 more regularly, nice race 🏁 👍🏻
I think I will try to make more time for GT3 in future weeks.
Good video. Im new to iracing. Im not driving GT3 Cars yet but this got me excited!
Welcome to the obsession! As I mention in the video, GT3 typically has some.of the highest participation rates of all series, so it's well worth looking into. Thanks for watching, don't forget to subscribe!
