I discovered your channel like 4 days ago and honestly i'm surprised you don't have like 2 million subscribers considering how your videos are so interesting and great to watch ! i love both your onboards and your GT Sports videos, keep up the great work :)
Found my way here about a month ago, one of the few times the UA-cam algorithm has generated a decent suggestion of content to watch. David definitely deserves more subs for sure
Thank you Oxy, I think it just takes time to build a channel. I’ve already seen some fast growth from 3k to 20k subs but it has slowed down again but I’m happy as things stand already. Very grateful for all my viewers.
David rocks baby 💪...I've found him through (Steve)Super_Gt...and man I'm I happy.. because now I have someone to cheer for and a new racing 🏁 hero... Keep up the good work buddy 👌because ur doing great 🤗😎👍
To anyone out there thinking of or already a Patreon of David I can't recommend enough taking that leap and going for the top tier support where you get personal 1 on 1 90mins coaching a month. He really is an incredible coach. I look forward to many more coaching sessions. Thanks again for the privilege Dave.
I’ve never been too interested in GT racing until I found your channel. And along with seeing gameplay of Gran Turismo’s Gr.3 cars, I’ve become interested in Blancpain. I still haven’t learned the drivers and teams, but it used to be the same with F1 a couple years ago for me. I’ll learn the drivers and teams eventually. So thank you so much for introducing me to the world of GT racing! I’ll always cheer you and your team on!
That strange feeling when you know from a young age, what you want to do in life! Unfortunately, i wasn't able to follow my dream. Very happy to see you doing your thing man! Wish you all the best!!
I found out about you through SuperGT, but I must say, you put out incredible content and you seem like an awesome guy. I wish you all the best, and maybe some day meet you in GT Sport :)
David this "Storytelling" vid is awesome! You have upped your "UA-cam" game like your driving! You have just taken this to the next level Keep it up. the The Blancpain Team are really great to give you the backing to do this. Good luck at Spa , I was there last year, not this year unfortunately. Hout Bay! spent some time there in the dunes on bikes and boards. I grew up around the corner in Three Anchor Bay
Edwin Collingridge thanks mate! Hopefully see you at some races later in the year. I may be coaching at the ELMS Spa round in September, maybe see you then mate.
Great story with a great driver. I learned more about David than I would have thought. It's drivers like David that make the Blanc pain series so exciting. Blanc pain is very lucky to have such a great series with such great drivers. Green Ferraris? Hell ya! ✌😁
I’m going to say it here first. GT and Endurance racing has taken over F1 as my favourite racing discipline. Been to Zandvoort to watch you guys and it was amazing. And every race I watch on the telly is amazing. And I can’t wait for Spa!!
as a 21 year old saving whatever I can for racing, this story is super inspiring. A lot of people can feel like its "too late" to get started in sports but seeing what you can do even starting karting at 15 is inspirational to say the least. hope we both keep racing for years to come and I hope one day I can be on a professional circuit with you in a grid slot next to me haha
Thank you so much David..you bring so much to us as both sim racers and racing in general..i enjoy everything and wish you all the best and of course continued good luck ✌😁
I've never been more inspired to become a racecar driver than from David Perel. Right now I only have sim games to master but I'm saving up to take my shot at real-world racing. Thanks, David.
Your story and engagement with the community is super inspirational to me and I'm sure to plenty of others. I can't get enough of your onboards and other videos. It's really gotten me even more obsessed with motorsport than I already was. Rooting for you all the way
David. So inspirational I can’t explain. Formula 1 was the reason why I got into motor sports, and you’re the reason I want to be a racing driver because you showed that you CAN do it when you keep your head down and focus on something you’re passionate about. Grinding through the ranks and having to stop because you ran out of money and then come back is just truly special. I’m 20 and hoping I could maybe race against you some day. Thanks for such an inspirational video and reminding me to follow my dreams!!!!
To add on, I see tons of similarities to me right now and you explaining when you were around my age just trying to surround yourself with everything you can as much as possible and imagining one day to be on a podium. So like I said, your impact on me with your UA-cam channel and yourself it’s something I can’t truly express so thank you.
Just an awesome series. I check daily to see your next story. Solid information, great commentary, and no politics. Just storytelling. Comment section of the vlog's not littered with haters and chat warriors. That's a great testament to your channel. Awesome that the Blancpain team recognize your effort to increase visibility to the team and the sport. We all benefit from your stories.
great content David. for someone like me who always wanted to be a racing driver having to watch all your onboards with commentary is awesome man. Thank you so much
Hey David, I discovered this channel through SuperGT's channel recently and have been watching a whole bunch of videos you have uploaded in the past. I really think this should be a lot bigger than it is at the moment. Your content is amazing and really unique, and you seem like a great guy to hang with. Wish you much success in 2020!
Dude, you are one of the nicest guys doing this. Please keep up the youtubing. We really need you. You will gain lots of subscribers and followers pretty soon for sure. Good luck on the Spa 24h!
You have a truly amazing story, I've only started watching your videos in the last couple of months and all I've seen is a lot of great content. You're doing us South Africans proud, keep it up!
Like others have said im also new to your channel and sim racing in general. I found your channel and although i love cars i have only a passing interest in motorsport but i love these videos and how open and honest you are about it, not everybody is lewis hamilton! Im excited to see what you do next :)
So tough to get a drive in any race series, cud-dos to you and your support base for persevering. The start looks crazy hectic, 1st driver must feel the world on their shoulders to get it round lap 1. thanks for bringing this racing and behind the scenes story to the tube I cant wait for an update and the next installment, Proudly SA- #333 GO GO GO #BlancpainGT
Following blancpain series since ages now....following emilfrey racing since they locatet here nebst to me,but had also allways an eye to rinaldi racing Best of luck for spa🤞
Hi david. You have a Great team of people Who believe in you. Thats Quite rare. Welldone matey. All on hard work, determination, Faith in yourself, and talent. All the best. Love the content. Keep posting 👌
Love your passion for the sport even for the game GTS only I hope (one day ) when there is the time you go more LIVE ..I think people will love it ...love your channel ..👍🏻
You are my hero at the moment young man. You are living my dream. Will you be at the Kyalami 9 hour in November? If so, I can't wait to shake your hand.
Relly inspiring video. All of them. You let me belif in myselfe to go one racing and that it is worth it do spend all you effort and money in that if you really want it. I doubt so often about myselfe and if I should go on racing and if it make sense or if I just should let it be and go and save my money for anything elese like everyone else around me but every time I get out of the car or see your videos I fell yes it is worth it and one day it will pay out for me. All the best for you. You have my support.
Dear Coach Dave, great video. Have one question...What happened to the video you had, sharing your story where you talked about winning a 24HR LeMans Sim Race with your brother and how that re-ignited you to chase the Dream. I’ve been looking for that content to forward it to some of my local karting juniors. Thanks!
Awesome insight into your story mate,, it is really motivating for all of us!! I'm extremely pleased to see you racing and performing really well the past few years! Good luck in the Spa 24h and see you out there! ;)
Great video David this is the video I have been waiting for and asked for. I really want to become a racing driver myself I am currently 16 and dont have the funds for karting or a track to kart at, maybe when I grow up I can fund fund myself my own career.
Awesome video! I've been enjoying watching your channel. Started with watching your sim racing and track guides, then started watching more of your real racing footage. Super awesome stuff. Keep it coming and good luck on your career!
I really love the video David, you have a really cool story to tell. I’m in karting now and I would love to do what you have done with your racing career. I was just wondering how you made it from karting to GT3. I know you said you had some coaches but did you race any other cars or in any other series?
Saw this video a few of days ago David. Awesome story. I want to become a race car driver too later in life, but know I need to save up the money and have resources to just start my career. I know it’s hard but it’s something I can’t wait to get started 👍
Hi David! i found your channel for a case watching the regional rankings in "Lago Maggiore" you give me one tenth lol... hope to race with you one day (in GTsport).... i was in Barcellona 28/30 September last year for the Blanc Pain finals like european finalist for the Nissan GT Sport Cup ....were you in the final race? Your life is everyone's GTsport player dream! Geetings from Italy!
Hey mate, I love Italy! I’ll be in Barcelona this year for the final round of the Blancpain Series. Really looking forward to it. If you’re there for GT Sport come to my box to say hi!
So how was Zandvoort for you? I was posted at the Hans Ernst corner (S corner) for the weekend. It’s a fun corner to marshal at, almost never a dull moment.

Love your passion for the sport even for the game GTS only I hope (one day ) when there is the time you go more LIVE ..I think people will love it ...love your channel ..👍🏻
I have asked Blancpain for a live cam in our car but it’s not yet possible. Hopefully one day 🙌
Beautiful story that is far from really started...
Fantastic video mate, keep it up.
And don't forget to always floor the throttle
You are my hero at the moment young man. You are living my dream. Will you be at the Kyalami 9 hour in November? If so, I can't wait to shake your hand.

This was really motivating !
This video was great. i really hope to see videos of you in iRacing and IRL.
Once I get a PC I’ll be posting plenty of iRacing vids 😁
David didn't you drive in a earlier spa 24 with Bentley and Chris Harris
Yes I did, in 2016, that part was left out of the video but you can find that clip on the Top Gear YT page
Nice!! Loved seeing you race in Zandvoort!!
Hey, you started on a dirt oval with karts? I race outlaw karts at a local dirt track on race weekends, so about every other week. It’s fun to race.
It was just one day at a local dirt oval, nothing special, my main experience came from regular Karting tracks 😊
Can you make a video about the leap from karting to racing? Was there driving experience in-between?
Just Gran Turismo and the odd kart race for fun, but nothing serious
@@DavidPerel Thats crazy, they put a lot of faith in you just throwing you in the car
I had to pay a lot of money, wasn’t really a question of faith. Just budget.
Awesome insight into your story mate,, it is really motivating for all of us!! I'm extremely pleased to see you racing and performing really well the past few years! Good luck in the Spa 24h and see you out there! ;)
AC9 Planespotting thank you!
Nice David, very nice.

That means a lot to me, thank you Noxvi and good luck with your career
@@DavidPerel this reply means a lot to me :)
I enjoy your videos so much Dave, you should do some TV when you retire from racing one day and come back home
Maybe one day, it's so stressful in front of the camera though 😂
@@DavidPerel you come across so genuine and relaxed though. It doesn't show at all. Keep up the good work
Nice work Dave
Another great video David, thank you and keep it up!
Thanks mate, this one was done by the guys at Blancpain. Special thanks to Fred for the film.
Awesome video! I've been enjoying watching your channel. Started with watching your sim racing and track guides, then started watching more of your real racing footage. Super awesome stuff. Keep it coming and good luck on your career!
Brilliant driver and storyteller! 👍🏼

Saw this video a few of days ago David. Awesome story. I want to become a race car driver too later in life, but know I need to save up the money and have resources to just start my career. I know it’s hard but it’s something I can’t wait to get started 👍
Epic mate, believe in yourself and don’t give up
@@DavidPerel Thank you
Hi David! i found your channel for a case watching the regional rankings in "Lago Maggiore" you give me one tenth lol... hope to race with you one day (in GTsport).... i was in Barcellona 28/30 September last year for the Blanc Pain finals like european finalist for the Nissan GT Sport Cup ....were you in the final race? Your life is everyone's GTsport player dream! Geetings from Italy!
Hey mate, I love Italy! I’ll be in Barcelona this year for the final round of the Blancpain Series. Really looking forward to it. If you’re there for GT Sport come to my box to say hi!
half way thru vid great story
Dude ... Can't wait for the next story! How is there not 400k subs here, but then again, just go look at UA-cams trending smh
Takes time to grow a channel mate 😁 thank you!
Great video, sir! I really enjoy and relate to your story. Always enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Geaux!
Green may not be the first colour you think for a Ferrari but the car it's cool like this. In Assetto corsa competizione i always use your car :)
Awesome!
So how was Zandvoort for you? I was posted at the Hans Ernst corner (S corner) for the weekend. It’s a fun corner to marshal at, almost never a dull moment.
Baron_von_Noob best corner on the track for sure. We won race 2 so very happy :)
Already watched it on GTWorld a few days ago, no idea why i watched it again :D
Just found out about the business you started with your brother and I've actually used Layers in a project once. Funny how world's collide.
That’s amazing!
Great video!
very good David
Obrigado
