This journey continues with ups and downs but mostly fun and learning. It also shows that age is no barrier to enjoying iRacing and Sim Racing.
It's really all about fun and enjoying the racing. So come on the journey with me.
I am basically running on an old G27 Wheel and Pedals. (perhaps it is time to upgrade, but while it's working why change)
As an older person 65 plus, this shows anyone can have a go at iRacing or sim-racing in general.
It is certainly a release from the real world.
So if you are looking for a bit of laugh and a real journey without the bells and whistles remember to subscribe and share. Thank you.

Well even though I hit the wall slightly twice I still went double green. This is the first time in a race at this track that I have completed the journey even with a pit stop for repairs.
I'm very happy, really. The new Wheel and Pedals from Logitech are amazing. It's amazing how I survived so long with the G27. The G Pro is the bee's knees.
See you at the next one.

Not the best race, still getting used to the new wheel and pedals. Got belted from behind by a fellow who was not watching past his nose. It is what it is sometimes. The Logitech G Pro is a bloody ripper. See you at the next one.

A very enjoyable race, even though it was lightly wet. Some good respectful driving here so I feel this is what iRacing should actually be like. This is the last race with the G 27 Wheel and Pedals, the new Logitech G Pro set has arrived. See you at the next one.

It has been a terrible 24 hours in the sim and with some internet troubles I have managed to go from 2.9 down to 1.4 in sRating in three races. Some my doing mostly though I have been in another drivers way and been punted and as I mentioned the internet has also been an issue. Advice is, do not forfeit, drive the race out no matter how far behind you are as you lose more by bailing. See you at...

A fun track but not my best to be honest. A good combination that worth a go. Clawing back some s and I Rating after a few interesting shunts from behind this week. We keep on keeping on. See you at the next one.

The recovery is well underway. At least I had a finish and no journey to the pits. Double green even it is a slight increase. I will keep going. See you at the next one.
It has been the weekend from hell.

Another race and another belting by drivers who don't care. I will not give this up yet. The protest was upheld although I did not get any rating back, at least Marin was held accountable. It pays to protest at times to make iRacing better for all. See you at the next one.

Terrible experience here, not sure that belting people before the green should count for safety rating. Then collected a car that was in the middle of the track, I had nowhere to go. Pitted to repair and as it was a short race and I was really off the pace ended up with double red and was not happy. Oh well, back later to do it again.

Complaining too much !
So glad you seem to be happy with your new equipment mate,bug investment to make,glad to see it payed off,enjoy👍
Youll need to do a review video on your new wheel and pedals mate,definitely interested in learning more about them
Good racing there Trevor. We all get those frustrating races where we have to deal with those people, but you handled it well and didn't lose your head 👍🏻
Good going mate,would love to race beside you,good safe driving
Thanks mate see you on track.
Everyone loves a bit of rain right 🤣 When I did this one last week, where you lost it in the Carousel, I noticed that there was a small river that runs across the track on the inside and if you go through it, the car is thrown out. If I may offer you a tip, when you're in a race with "Fast Repairs" turn off Refuel and Change Tyres in the black box before the race. That way, when you pull up to the box, you'll be able to drive away instantly 👍🏻
It makes you so angry when other drivers who have no interest in racing safely ram you off the road like destruction derby,and seemingly drive off into the sunset leaving you damaged...happened to me olst brands hatch this week on porsche cup,didnt make the 1st turn and 2 car from 2 rows back came flying forward into the turn and rammed me off road.great video again Trevor,keep them coming
I have been racing and keeping up. Will have a few new videos shortly. A new week now so should be better.
what an absolute carnage in the first lap xD
It's the story of the week really. Hoping the new week will improve.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg we'll be in red bull ring.. sooooo, we'll see. Not so SR friendly track.
Hi Trevor, I just want to encourage you to keep racing. This video was an inspiration, despite what happened you kept going, kept the right attitude, well done, you're a hero.
Cheers mate, it really has been a week of meatball flags. A few better races coming soon. Will not give up, goal is 3.5 plus sRating this season.
That guy at 4 minutes ramming was just silly. Lots of weirdos driving
Tough one that Trevor. If you caught my GT3 video last week, I had a similar time at Red Bull Ring and it just makes you feel so meh and makes you question why you do it. Then a new week rolls round, you pick yourself up, forget all about it and try to carry on once more. I'm sure the next one will be better bud 👍🏻
You done great to keep the yellow car behind you mate,he was desperate for an overtake
I really feel for you mate,its definitely not your connection,as this has been happening to me more recently,esp in the ferrari challenge, there seems to be some brain dead idiots in that series,i dont know about everyone else,but it takes me alot of my time,to wait for,and enter a race,that i try my best not to end it on the first lap for myself or anyone else,but clearly not everyone has the same thinking.dont hang up the gloves,keep digging deep,plus i enjoy your videos too much😊
Bad luck getting caught out by that kerb twice, mate. But those were two cracking recovery drives! I'll be honest that was an incredibly brave move into Druids on lap 13! I'd have waited for Lodge and the Deer Leap, personally but well done for getting it done at Druids! Unfortunate with the spins but with enough races like that you'll be alright!
Well that was heartbraking to watch. Who'd have thought simply driving two-by-two for a few hundred metres would be tough, y'know, the same way you do on the motorway? Trev if you've got the replay I'd be tempted to have a look at that smash on the pace lap, it looked like car 10 basically stopped on track which I'd protest. As for the other 4x at 04:54: ehhh... I mean you could kinda see him going long before he did and you didn't touch the brake until the smoke cleared and by then it was way too late. In fact, you went back on the gas when the smoke was at its thickest and you couldn't see what that Macca was doing. To save you some time in the pits if there's a next time - look up some chat macros. Personally I use #clear$ and #fr$ and assign them to different chat hotkeys. The first clears all your pit service options away (Tyres, fuel and Fast Repair) the othe toggles your Fast Repair back on. They're literally the first two keys I hit after the grid button for fixed races!
I don't have the replay, I remember thinking that car ahead will go off to my right so I went slightly left but he didn't go as quickly as I thought and so ended up with the 4x. Thanks for you help with the pit thing I will see how to do this with hotkeys.
Felt for you in this race mate,nothing worse than being in the same split as a bunch of clowns with no race etiquette, it happened to me in the porsche cup yesterday at Silverstone, I didn't survive 1 lap
I'm feeling your pain
Well done Trevor,great race mate
Thanks mate, I hope to do more in this car.
Good running mate
Nice win,well done mate🎉...I'm getting fed up just now on iracing,just done a gt4 race,and 2 separate cars in 2 separate incidents wrecked me, then both disconnected.so annoying.
I also have had some challenging hits this week from various classes. Could not believe one, where I was hit from behind on the grid before we moved, he then did it again before the green. I suppose we just have to grin and bear it. Thanks for watching it really is great to know that people do see what I am doing as worthwhile.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg I seen that video mate,couldn't believe it myself,it honestly boggles my brain at what goes through folks heads at times lol...love your videosTrev,and always look forward to the next one.keep up the good work
@@Candiedsimdemon Thanks mate, it's all just good fun.
He seemed to turn in early on that last chicane
Davcam described the porsche cup car best,its the hardest car to drive in iracing,but when you get it,its so rewarding and fun..your doing great with it mate for not driven it much,keep up the great work🙌
Yes, Davcam is a bit of an inspiration and the Porsche is a car I will get a handle on, I will not give up. Thanks for being around and the feedback, it is appreciated for an oldie like me. Trev
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg no worries mate.,honestly love your videos,makes my day when they pop up on my notifications 😊having great fun with the ferrari at road Atlanta this week,hope your having success there
Great car/track combo. Hope to see you on track
I do enjoy the combo, thanks for being on the journey. Would be good to see you on track some time.
You had a good run mate,apart from the couple of lock ups,monza is a tough cookie in the porsche cup car.im no expert by any means,but after watching a few tutorial vides,i start on 50% brake bias,and every 4/5 laps as the fuel burns off,i bring it down 2 or 3 clicks,seems to help me.
Hi, yea it is tough in this car, I have been playing a little with brake bias and seem to be getting a handle on it. All I can do is keep on working on it. Thanks for the assistance. Trev
I love oulton park,it's a great race track for the ferrari.great finish mate.
So you mentioned that you weren't going quickly enough shortly after setting one of your session best laps. I feel like it's going to be important to mention that recently, mate, your driving has become so much more consistent and your decision making when around other cars has improved dramatically. I remember only a few months ago getting really frustrated watching you get into accidents that you either caused or could have easily avoided. But yeah, like I say, recently you seem to be making much more 'long-term benefit' decisions. On several occassions you were aware of the MX-5s looking at very silly moves up your inside which enabled you to create space that you shouldn't have had to create to avoid the carnage! Your improvement in decision making is reflected in your iR and SR gains recently, great work! Don't worry about your pace. You finished P2 lapping on average 3s per lap slower than the leader in your class because you *kept your car on track* and actually *saw the chequered flag*. That Josey fella was loads faster than you on raw pace, but he didn't finish ahead of you because he was driving beyond his capability / limit which caused him to bin the car on his own shortly after passing you. That's why he's 0.9k iR. That's why your rating is improving, because you're making better decisions and driving within your capability. Keep it up, man!
Good driving mate🙌👍..I just had a nightmare in the ferrari,stupidly i was panic driving to get my position back,and made a few mistakes,mainly as noone let's a faster car past them,they always want to hold you up,even when they have to stop there car to turn a corner
Hey Dan, thanks for your input. Hope you are well.
Good driving on your part mate,real shame about the shunt from behind on rolling start,and my jaw was hitting the ground at how many cars bombing past you on that first lap🙈patience is a virtue.hopefully see you on track sometime
Thanks mate, yeah it's been one of those weeks so far. I will keep on keeping on. See on track one day perhaps.
I started racing the porsche cup as soon as I got my c license, took some time but absolutely love it,although is can be pretty mental😂
Heartbreaking mate,I felt for you on this one,happens to the best of us.great video again.see you on the next one🙌
I only qualify for roughly 10% of my races, i like to start from back and work my way forward,can backfire on me alot though as you get caught behind the clowns😂
I tried a no qualifying race last night and well it was ok until I stuffed up and ended up putting it around in a big ol' circle. Vid will go up soon. I will have to do it again just make me feel positive. Won't be until at least after the weekend now. See you then.
Nice race!
Loving the regular uploads mate,keeping me entertained daily🙌
Hi, thanks for being a part of the journey. I find this is a good way to escape the real world for a bit, share some of the challenges, and show that no matter what age people are, you can still have some fun.
Leave from work is great more time for me.
I like the fact that you race some tracks that I've never even heard of. Thanks for making your videos.
Hi Bill, thanks for the comments. Makes me want to keep going with this.
Thought you were gonna get thru that big wreck clean...great recovery tho!!!
Yes so did I. It is always a challenge that first lap. Cheers for watching.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg oh I understand, I do alot of F1 Sim Racing and turn 1 and all lap one is a challenge haha
I only stay in 2nd for the first chicane,and its 1st for the rest of them,for me i find that quicker,good safe racing again mate
I tried a few different combinations in practice and back to the same really. At least I didn't get sent to the pits. I do like this series though.
This ones a tough combo,recipe for disaster
Good race mate,always a pleasure watching and learning from yourself,nice pass on the inside of the red car,patience is 🔑
That's completely absurd that you got hit with a penalty point for that!!!
Yeah, it hurts but I look at it that if this was the real world and we go hit like that, there would be a cost in damage to the car so that is what the points represent. Having said that I think driving standards are hitting new lows again.
I’ve never driven an F4 car. Will give it a whirl the next time I fire up the sim.
I am actually enjoying learning how to drive these cars. Slightly different to a tin top.
Cant recommend a direct drive enough mate if your thinking of one.i went from the g920 to the fanatec csl dd with loadcell brake pedals and the difference is night and day,even just with 8nm
Any tips for driving in the wet mate?i cant drive in the wet at all,i just spin and slide,even when driving like a snail
I am considering the Logitech G Pro, expensive but seems pretty well supported. As for driving in the wet, keep inputs on pedals and steering smooth, try to feel the grip. That's about all I can say as I am not good either. Cheers for the advice.
@@OldManiRacing-fj4lg the logitech pro looks amazing,I had considered it instead of my fanatec,but it was out my budget
I love the AI racing,sometimes you need a rest from racing plonkers online 😂
hi! making yourself much more bigger to fill side of the screen.. it doesn't interfere with pov.. it will be more engaging! what is your sim racing setup?
HI, I will look into that, I try not to be too up front. As far as a rig, honestly it is a Aftershock made gaming computer that I use only for iRacing mostly, an old G27 wheel and pedals and a 49inch curved Prism screen. All mounted on a basic computer desk from Ikea. I sit on a ordinary office chair in a cluttered spare room. Nothing special at all. I am considering investing in a new wheel but not sure at the moment as they are pretty expensive and it really is just a hobby. Thanks for being a part of this journey.
I intend to do more this season in this car and grow to know how they drive. We don't see these cars in Australia as far as I know.
Over the last 35 years the Prototype cars have been my favorites. Case in point, this week's WEC 6-hour endurance race at COTA was separated by just a couple of seconds at the end. Always has been some of the tightest racing. Good to see you're racing in one of them.
I think someone touched the back of you at the very start of race very lightly..loving your videos,your a man after my own heart with the safe racing you maintain..I'm getting fed up with the max verstappen wannabes these days in iracing
Thanks mate, just trying to stay positive and alive. See you again.
if you havnt already, turn off steering assist...iys so much easier with it off
Maybe we should make a club of old racers.😆
That may be a good suggestion. I do however enjoy learning from those who are younger and seem to have a good grasp on how this sim works. Thanks for being a part of our journey.
It would be a good idea to change the webcam's position within the scene or superimpose it on the game info in that canvas area. See you on track!
1964 here! At 60 years old, the name of your channel could fit me
Not sure what it is you are advising there, but will look into it. Always open to assistance to make it better. Thank you.
@@OldManiRacing-fj4lg the game shows info upon your face sometimes.
@@navarreitor Gotcha, I will look at moving that. Cheers.
Good point about the waving on the warm up lap. Fully agree 👍
I think they need to perhaps enforce some how the safety during the form up lap. Cars should be a minimum and maximum distance from each other to stop those who hold back and then get a run at the start, usually causing some form of accident on the way through and the weaving must stop well before the green perhaps set a time depending on the length of the form up.
