Just want to say "Thanks" for your tutorial series on sim racing. I've been "playing" at it for years, bout the same as you. I also was into RC flying and racing. Although I never got very serious about my driving until recently. Now that I am retired I have a bit more time, but a bit less reflexes! Even though your video on "Brakes are not just for stopping" is a couple years old, I just watched it today! I have to say you truly enlightened me and after a few laps in pCars I have found my overall cornering vastly improved! And while I still need much more practice, I am now making positive progress. So again thanks for your channel!
With that title and thumbnail I kind of got what was going to happen. Then when I saw you in the end of the field in the beggining of the video I was very confused. Amazing racing. 0.026 That's how you properly win a race.
I like the point you make on how not a lot of iracing tracks have many racing grooves. If they did put more of an outside groove geometry at some tracks I think it would show who the good and respectable drivers are
On the ovals 5th is your normal gear that you stay in most of the time, 6th is only when you've caught the draft and max out 5th or your conserving fuel. You rarely ever use sixth but its nice to have there.
Rin Hato Power band, like Patrick said. The Fixed setups though have horrid gear ratios that ensure you almost never ever ever end up in 6th on most tracks.
Im jealous of your race Emptybox. My race was great started 22nd crash happened on lap 2 got rear ended avoiding it ruined my aero :( Led for 3 laps under caution because lap 35 so why bother pitting right? Finished 10th :P Indy fixed is great.
Snark Attack Because I used the key to make it smaller. Ctrl+Page Up and Page (IIRC, it's something like that) down changes the size of the UI, including the watermark.
I will never understand why that car comes down the track at 19:40 to cause a wreck like that, then again its indy fixed, you dont try to understand anything lol
Robert Tarbox Jr iRacing notsoSAFER barriers. Haven't you ever hit the wall in this game? You either get sucked into the wall and can't get off of it no matter what you do, or you ricochet off like a pinball. He didn't crank more steering in, I checked the replay thinking it was one of the two and sure enough, he pinballed.
Empty Box oh ok, usually with the safer barriers, I hit them and im velcro'd onto the wall until im going like 30 mph, that is why I assumed he turned down because I have seen some people in indy fixed, once they realize there race is done, turn down and cause a big wreck lol Good to see i can be wrong about the indy fixed races sometimes
Yay, finally an iracing video, loving your vids been here for a very long time but could you pls upload some iracing i am moving up on the game and am almost c class, i race go-karts and enjoy the game. Btw i am 12:)
nino Barlini I rate your troll comment a 3/10. You would have scored more points for more caps as well as making this comment 4 months ago before everyone noticed Project CARS is a turd.
You lose points for succinctness by repeating yourself and for your project cars review not simply being a video of you saying the last five words of your comment here.
An Empty Box goes round the outside round the outside. Wooohooo! :)
IKR, FIJCK (braden) almost got the win though...
Matt you played that finish perfectly. That was beautiful. Well done!
HAH! I watched the spoiler video first! You can't tell me what to do, you're not my mom! *runs around arms flailing*

empty box: "I figured hey! lets follow this guy" then goes for the over take at the first turn XD
I like the point you make on how not a lot of iracing tracks have many racing grooves. If they did put more of an outside groove geometry at some tracks I think it would show who the good and respectable drivers are
nothing more chilling then watching empty box with a big bucket of chocolate ice at 40°C :D
waves from Germany
I just noticed at 0:21 the iRacing logo in the bottom shrinks. How do you do that?
Prolly a text effect in his video editor.
Could someone explain the thinking behind making 5th and 6th so close?
Is it to limit speed or maximise time in the power band or something?
On the ovals 5th is your normal gear that you stay in most of the time, 6th is only when you've caught the draft and max out 5th or your conserving fuel. You rarely ever use sixth but its nice to have there.
Patrick Byrne So... 6th is like a fat girlfriend? :D
Fivizzz sure
Rin Hato Power band, like Patrick said. The Fixed setups though have horrid gear ratios that ensure you almost never ever ever end up in 6th on most tracks.
Empty Box Thanks for the replies!
Awesome video Empty! Round the outside, round the outside...
...goes round the outside? Lol 360p club!
Great race. Great win. Congrats Matt
Very Nice Matt. A Fun and Fairly Clean Race. =)
So... basically what happened was you were both looking at each other instead of the road during that turn :)
ilvanezzo Pretty much, though I at least kept it on the road and in my lane! :p
My crash in that race sorta sums up this week. Always taken out aero pushing or by someone who hit the wall aero pushing. Onto Death Bowl!
awesome finish! Really well played
The screenshot at 24:25 should be your new Twitter profile Empty...imo...Fantastic race.
final crash green car upside down and on fire anyone noticed 20:32 top-left hand side of screen
Yeah, so, qualifying isn’t over rated, you’re just an amazing driver. There. I said it. You’re awesome.
Congratulation gangster :D hehe nice win
What are your PC specs? And how much FPS do you get in big races. Thanks! Love your Vids!
Is it worth it in your opinion to change tires after just 4 -5 laps?
alibambam Depends on position. If it's free, why not?
I thought contact after the checkered was null. or maybe it is a certain time after the checkered flag that it doesn't count
Crazysworld91 Whole field has to have crossed the finish line
Poor Braden, he streamed this race and was really hoping for the win. The final green is now a highlight on his Twitch channel because of it...
i love these videos
Im jealous of your race Emptybox. My race was great started 22nd crash happened on lap 2 got rear ended avoiding it ruined my aero :( Led for 3 laps under caution because lap 35 so why bother pitting right? Finished 10th :P Indy fixed is great.
DAT LEFT TURN !
Did anyone else find themselves giving the spotter calls in their head!! Right side....clear
Yep
mokelly82 All race long.
How come your iRacing watermark shrinks at 0:20? Mine is always massive
Snark Attack Because I used the key to make it smaller. Ctrl+Page Up and Page (IIRC, it's something like that) down changes the size of the UI, including the watermark.
y no trading paints?
Jesperoni Fresh hard drive, debating if it's worth all the space.
I will never understand why that car comes down the track at 19:40 to cause a wreck like that, then again its indy fixed, you dont try to understand anything lol
He touched the Wall
Robert Tarbox Jr iRacing notsoSAFER barriers. Haven't you ever hit the wall in this game? You either get sucked into the wall and can't get off of it no matter what you do, or you ricochet off like a pinball. He didn't crank more steering in, I checked the replay thinking it was one of the two and sure enough, he pinballed.

Good to see i can be wrong about the indy fixed races sometimes
Awesome race!
Unrelated but I think I found you on Ultimate Guitar.
What? In what way?

***** Race car for an avatar, talks about being from the midwest, cheeky humour. Yea that's him.
Yay, finally an iracing video, loving your vids been here for a very long time but could you pls upload some iracing i am moving up on the game and am almost c class, i race go-karts and enjoy the game. Btw i am 12:)
Amazing race
Objects in rear view mirror not closer than they may appear to be, for once!
that first yellow was br00tal
Watching this is the closest I can get to a life right now. SO sad.
"Doing it for Dale" haha
Anyone else notice the steering wheel being cocked to the right when Empty is going straight?
teddywoods72 ua-cam.com/video/5MkiW67cZpk/v-deo.html
Lol, this is what happens when I don't frequent youtube as much. Thanks for the reply!
the guy you beat did not seem happy about it...lol
That was amazing.
Empty box pls do a wheel cam
I wish I had taken tires there (I was in the 15)
Thanks mate
Damnit, I'm here too early!
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEASSSSSSSS (daaadaaadaaaaaa)
360p NOOOO!
Someone would have died in the last wreck you showed. Great race.
Ai sim
Unfortunately iRacing doesn't have the realism of project cars
nino Barlini Good job youtube, glad double posts are a thing now...

Tom de Weerdt ok sycophant.
Lmfao, another great race :-)
On ovals it is fun to race... but boring to watch any Oval racing...
