Man, this is more exciting than watching a real race. Specially with you narrating like this! I am working towards being a fast racer too. Love the content. Oh and 30 seconds was š š©.
Really nice to see what happened in the GT3 race :D, we had lovely battles in GT4 as well :D
9:23 nice timing with the word ābackfireā
no way that was worth 30s. i think if it wouldāve dropped you down it would have been a less severe penalty but angus was falling away and they wanted a switcheroo.
good race james . remember its not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog .you have a great mentality .never loose it
Definite twitch left as you were about to apex for the chicane which unfortunately collected the BMW. I would have put it down to a racing incident as that move on the outside by the BMW was never going to play out any other way than it did. Great racing by you and morally at least, a great win!
James having 2 videos come out in one day I've been blessed
as an iracer im impressed by the similarities of the track from sim to sim but great vids keep em going mate ;)
How have you not got like 500k subs? One of the best sim racing channels.
That's a harsh penalty. Never 30 secs just a racing incident
Hi James. Just discovered your channel and loving these long-form race videos! The incident... it definitely looks like you did a little wobble to the left and bumped him. Without the bump he'd have been alongside you at the right turn and then possibly got ahead at the left turn. But a 30-second penalty seems harsh.
On "the incident", I noted two things at the time. First, Angus was still a bit behind, even though alongside you. Honestly, if I were him, I would have thought about holding back there and trying to get a drive out of the end since you would have entered the chicane a bit slower offline as it were. That said, the tiny flick to left before entering the right hander was magnified by Angus guessing that you had already committed to the turn. I'll call it a draw. Angus was being overly aggressive with little hope of success and the flick is noticeable when viewed from the front.
Great video! IMO regarding the incident, you were at fault if anything, but definitely not worth 30 secondsā that was BS! At the beginning of braking zone you were perfectly positioned giving him the outside line however for some reason right after starting to brake your car moved a bit to the left, making contact. Fair enough if you were to blame there but no way such a harsh penalty. I wouldāve given you a 5 second penalty at most
Great commentary, thanks for your time!
I enjoyed your commentary and your anylizing each single race James Thankyou
Are there any tips & tricks on how to gain consistency? I struggle to complete 10 laps without an off track excursion. Great videos by the way & the ACC videos are ace!!!
Great race!!! ACC racer here too, loved watching the video. My last league race of the season is here next saturday. This was good to watch!
I don't think it was worth a 30 sec pen personally but would suggest it was something worth giving the place up as a gesture of goodwill. To me it looks as if you move into his chosen line a bit too much but it's tight and there's clearly no bad intentions. I do have a question about your driving style though, to me it looks like you're able to load up the front axle way more than I feel comfortable with when driving on ACC (my main car is the Bentley but I am reasonably familiar with the Macca too)... Are there any free tips you can give about how you are able to achieve this?
If thatās 30 seconds then Iāve just seen a pig fly past my window.
