A place for me to share my love of sim racing with the world, and to hopefully inspire more people to join!
Hello, I am Nick, welcome to my channel. Now I would classify myself as a very slightly better than average sim racer who attempts to be entertaining. I am not alien quick and following me will not give you the best lines or brake points for the fastest possible lap times. What I do hope is that you will get some enjoyment out of what I post here and that it might inspire more people to take up the hobby. Sim racing is my biggest passion and what I spend most of my available time indulging in (along side making content about it) and I am here to just bring you along for the ride (pun intended) and share with you my highs and lows.

E60 M4 😊
You should host your own community rally series using the slower classes.
Keep an eye out for just that ;)
@@Blownpistonmotorsport Woo hoo!!!
Arent the 1976 and the 75 are he same exact car?? So did they just add a car 1 year newer that we already have??
Erm… not my area of expertise, im guessing it is in a 76 team number and livery, the mechanics are more than likely identical
STAIND MENTIONED
This is a regular occurrence in my content!
Awesome update so happy for the M6 Coupe 2010 has returned after 7 years since Forza Motorsport 7
Glad you are happy with it man! :)
@@Blownpistonmotorsport heck yeah sadly no new track
@ historically its the Odd number updates they have been in, so fingers crossed in 4 weeks we will see a new track
May I suggest you move your face cam up so that it is directly beneath the player list? That way we would be able to see the mini map and where other cars / groups are relative to you. Considering you use cockpit cam, it would only be covering the inside of your car.
I will have a look, the area above my camera is where chat lives when I’m live, and i generally don’t run with the minimap on, but i will take it under advisement!
Morning
Evening ;)
E92 M3 is sick! Great to see it in Motorsport. E60 M5 and E63 M6, both with that glorious S85 V10! I'm not optimistic on Motorsport nailing the sound of that legendary engine. Ooooh, M4 (G82) GT3 and M Hybrid V8 LMDh! Finally updating the BMW racecar roster!
The cars you just listed have all been in previous motorsport games.. as in the ones at the top
I just wish it had the M4 GT4 and one of the BMW Touring cars from throughout the years, but us TCR fans will just continue to suffer
@Blownpistonmotorsport Yeah it's a shame really.
Not you Holden
Where do I even begin? this update car wise is pretty ok but and it's a big one this update isn't enough plain and simple, I've tried being positive about Motorsport but I can't anymore. Only 2 new cars is quite frankly a joke, yes there free but there still a pain to unlock, is it cool we've got another le mans hypercar yes but unfortunately there's still not enough of them in the game. The M4 Gt3 should have really been in the game from launch as should the recycle cars, Also still no bmw m4 gt4? when we really could do with some more gt4 cars ok then. I still want Motorsport to do well and that's why I'm being so critical, Imo this year is make or break for the game, Also yes I get this is the first update after turn 10s Christmas break but still. Finally I'm really hoping next month we get can an actual new track that's never been in a forza motorsport game previously as well as new cars, Anyway constructive criticism rant over do better turn 10 please.
This update had more than 2 new cars though? so what???
@xXVibrantSnowXx No it didn't, the majority are recycled from older forza games, the new 3.0 csl is a only a livery I believe and the drift m2 isn't new.
Terrible update but that's T10 for you. Best thing about this month is I don't have to bother with any of the SP stuff because I'm not a fan of BMW. I would've loved the M4 GT4 so we could recreate Super_GT's racecar but adding more GT4 cars to the 3 we have would make too much sense. They still haven't added back all the tours that have been removed like they said they would be so there's even less reason to do SP. I know it's the first update after Xmas but are T10 even trying?
Considering that they’ve been adding free cars monthly for a year or so and throwing in new tracks every other month, I’d say they are doing a good job of keeping us engaged. It’s definitely moving in a better direction each month
Bro did you copy your comment from Motorsport channel?
@@danieldelanoval7656 I’ve not posted there, did you just bud in making up things while saying absolutely nothing despite typing your little heart out
@@danieldelanoval7656 He definitely did, bro is trolling
@@michaelnight9162 what a fol, dude was replying to the Op, not you lol
Filling out perfectly fine. Hopefully means some good stuff next month.
Touring cars are needed though!
No Saabs!!!!!
Saab is dead lol xDD
Id love if the 900 or the 9-5 turbo turned up not going to lie
@@xXVibrantSnowXx Pontiac is dead,,,but their in Forza motorsport
@@Blownpistonmotorsport 900 turbo aero from around 86 or so
@@gsprings43 yes mate, full rounded off box aesthetic
If you change the overlay/hud and change it back the gears come back.
Honestly id prefer it if it just worked haha, a lot to ask from a game that has been out 15 months i know, i don’t want to be faffing in menus in the middle of a multiplayer race because something that was working is now broken, doesn’t make for a great experience! Appreciate you providing a work around for future races though!
@@Blownpistonmotorsport Fair
Did I hear correctly? We don’t get the new BMW M4 GT four series or the hybrid for 4 to 5 weeks?
The Hybrid Proto H is available now, the GT3 is the reward car, will unlock week 4 or 5
@ 10 four I gotcha. I wonder why they started doing that where they don’t fully open the career mode.
@@Blownpistonmotorsport it is possible to unlock the M4 through the challenge hub (complete 10 races in the BMW challenge), with that we should be able to unlock it right away right?
@ as far as im aware you can’t get it until the final single player session is out, so you will “unlock” it but you won’t get it until that weeks update
Really exited for these!
A bit of a hit and miss update. Extra Beemers are cool and thats great. They missed the oppertunity to add the touring car. I believe people would rate this much higher if that happened. Great video BTW. Easy to understand and highlighted all the important bits.
Agreed, to not have 1 touring car when BMW have been a staple for decades is a bit shit, the fact we have the M4 GT3 gives me hope for the GT4 at some point though
Blinded by the colours. That your game or video editing? Also Well done for remaining calm with the level of manic driving around you.
I put a filter over the footage while recording, may have oversaturated a bit... had a few videos come out that were just really washed out and FM isn;t exactly the most vivid of places to race either, but this may have had my iRacing filter which is even less saturated at times. Oh i love the madness, makes me laugh most the time!
Brands is not conducive reading chat whilst driving, straights aren’t long enough. I just saw the time coming down whilst you were stuck behind him but as I sent it, you got passed.
Yeah i was oblivious to looking behind because i was trying to figure out what the guy in front was trying to do, only just managed to keep that 0.5 ahead to hold onto the position
Iam always follow forza moto update, and every update the graphics are getting better & better
Nice to see the iRacing TCRs back on the channel buddy - and a very decent finish too! Gotta love the guy on lap 1 coming horizontally back across the track 😮
Cheers Ben, series is at Thruxton this week so will be on that again can guarantee that ;) Yeah and my imploring him to maybe perhaps think about giving that brake pedal even a slight tickle, but alas he chose murder that day
Just popping in to say hi and hope you had a fantastic new year, not a Iracing fan but will watch till I eat my tea.😁
Haha appreciate it man, should be the same vibe as my forza stuff just looks a little different ;)
Nope they need to add city tracks , mountain pass tracks like fujimi , need tons of mp playlist options , need open track day , need better /louder exhaust sounds and turbos , need point to point races etc
Agree on the street circuits, hopefully long beach will make a return, i expect T10 to reskin the old meshes first before we get something new
like the race. i would recommend you uploading videos where you fight in the midfield, more intresting to the viewer.
Appreciate the feedback!
Enjoyed that
Glad you did man, felt like a good stream at the time!
Moza just released a new beta Firmware Update you may want to give It a try,I have only tested forza so far and the FFB is much more precise and detailed plus they have a new Interpolation setting which I have not tried yet mainly because Iike the way It feels now. The best way I can describe It Is to say you get no more why did the wheel do that WTF Just happened moments. All the best Nick and have a cracking new year.
Awesome man, thank you for the heads up! Will give that a try in a little bit! Thank you for the kind words, you too man!
Great seeing you back on iRacing.
Thank you man, happy to be back, some interesting things this season
About the multiplayer, it was mentioned (I forgot where) that it will be released after like the 2nd or 3rd update of the early access, also the lotus was an emira not an Evija.
Ahhh makes sense, must have missed that info in a previous update! You are very correct, ima just start calling them all the Elijah and be done with it, all sound too similar for my smooth brain to comprehend
@ fair enough about the Elijah lol
I’ve tend to no longer play multiplayer anymore, really hope they have single player ( heard there’s no campaign) or at least have a championship series like they do on acc.
Well the early access is only launching with single player content so there will certainly be something, but “campaigns” in racing games have really died off, I’m guessing it will have some form of championship mode, some challenges and quick play as a minimum for single player!
He said early access will launch with 20 cars. That manufacturer UI may or may not be representative of the early access release. Just a thought.
That would make sense, good shout!
Great channel mate and great commentary very entertaining keep up the good work
Thank you man, appreciate the kind words!
Awesome driving as always 👌
Cheers buddy, some minor skill issues thrown in to mix things up a bit
FM really needs this track and mowing the grass kissing the wall i believe isn't the fastest way round the corner
It really does, and you need to test these things, now we know for sure
Oulton park = click
It is a great track, i suck at it though haha
Seasons greetings from the depths of Thanet. It's nice to see some variety of content (not that I don't like your forza stuff). At 47 i got my first ever gaming PC for Xmas (a bit old and late to the game hehe) and first thing a got on was iracing to try it out. That M2 is definitely fun to drive even though its a bit of a handful.
Yeah man i get too bored on the same game for too long, nice to spice things up! Its a great car, specially as its a rookie class so its all free (technically “no extra cost” because you know, subscription fee) but its a tricky little beasty and really teaches you about weight transfer and smooth inputs, liking it a lot
@@Blownpistonmotorsport Just got a PC and iracing myslef. Luckily got 12 months for £25. Gotta love a good discount. so far going well. Less than a week in and I picked up my first race win! Have to say that forza will be very neglected now lol.
@ Nicely done my friend, got my first W in a ling time the other day on stream, I am having a lot of fun in iRacing right now, went back to Forza last night and it is a nice pallet cleanser when you can just go out and not really worry about what happens in the race i will say that much!
Hell yeah. I'm not even pissed I can't play on release. Just be nice to see the community get stuck in
Yeah looks interesting, technically its only in beta as well, so fingers crossed its doing multi platform release when its finished
They could've at least put the later Mustang & ZB Commodore , All this time & a year after launch with the same supercars , or Other Aussie Tracks eg: Phillip Island AGP Track , Adelaide , Sandown & Gold Coast . Turn 10 turned into scamming customers with same amount of $$$ for 2 new Tracks & no offline play saving WOW .
Got my 360 fixed purely to play motorsport 3. It's truly sad to see how good we had it, fricken JDM cars, NO REALLY actual JDM cars not just a prepubescent's list of JDM classics. 😂
Man i miss FM 3/4, those were the days!
Best I’ve got at Bathurst is a 2:12 in the Nissan Silvia
Not a bad time in the Silvia, not been able to get that one working well for me tbh
@ please excuse that 2:00 at Bathurst it was clearly a miss print on my side
Love driving the falcon. Issue I have now is wheel spin coming out of the cutting into the immediate right , slide a lot unless back off. Mind you that might be down to using a pad lol Best I can do is a 2.12 in race trim lol
I find i have to feather the throttle a lot over the mountain, full throttle means im slipping and sliding around over the crests and stuff out of the cutting, skyline and the esses
I do not find the mx5 cup in the game... and I have the premium version. Where can I find it ?
It should be there in the under mazda, 2017 MX-5 cup
halo!! is the mx5 cup in the base game?
I believe so!
yucky shouldve been in a holden!
The holden seems to slip around a bit more i have found, at least with my tune on it anyway
Thanks for sharing the tunes! Best.
you can throw the car into second gear at the very end of Turn 2 to shave off like 0.2 sec.'s
I will give that a try, ty for the tip
Sometimes i see a name pop up and I'm like (ohio) noooo! Stupid track. Then i play it and i love it. And repeat next time 😂
2:06.5 is my best lap in the ford. Just find the right tune
I think my skill issue would challenge any tune haha
Mount Bathurst. What a track!
It is amazing, takes so much focus for so much of the lap
i haven't played this game, so don't take me seriously. But, it seems that you're shifting too early on the upshifts. car revs to 7500rpms and you're shifting up to 1000rpm too early (in my opinion). 7:15 for example. I think you can wait for another half a second when you see the red shift light. let me know if i'm wrong!
You are more than likely very correct, usually too busy chatting inanely in an attempt to be entertaining to pay attention to that, plus the sequential shifter is a lot of fun to yank haha
It really depends on the engine and the powerband and also gearing. Some engines like to be revved up to the limiter while others start rolling over way before redline. I always pull up the telemetry to see the powerband whenever I'm driving a new car to find the optimal shifting points.
Amazing move through the esses on the 3rd lap
Yeah very happy with that one haha, i actually had an idea it was going to happen and went for it!
