First Rookie Race [LFM] in the RAIN, with NO Wet Practice!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- So I made a mistake preparing for LFM Rookie racing on ACC. I did not practice at all in the wet! And on race 3 of my LFM journey, I found myself in that exact situation!!
So was it pure chaos? Or is rain my secret formula? Either way I was going to learn a thing or two from this one!
Thank you so much for checking out my content. The response to this channel has been amazing in its first few days! There is plenty more to come, so be sure to subscribe!
Also a shout out to my friend Crankicake, who had a storming recovery drive in this race! You can find his channel here... / @crankicake
Race Hard, Stay Positive! See you in the next one!

That McLaren is the stuff nightmares are made of. What a nuisance... That's why getting your SR above 5.0 is essential.
How wrong my race could have gone right? Thankfully I have not encountered to many of those players. Hopefully above 5.0 SR soon though!
How the guy in the white Mclaren qualified for LFM is kinda crazy...lol.
You have know idea .... I see crazy things in Lfm
@@Chuksfunhouse Well shit, he's better than me. My SA is 43 and I feel like I'm cleaner than that. I had a rough start...lol
@@rkwjunior2298 cannot get my safety rating above an 81 doing the box one GT3 rookie series
If he just backed it off a tiny bit, he would probably win that race!
@@rkwjunior2298 SA in acc is hard to gain, if you can, get a friend and spend an hour driving within 1 second of each other and your SA will go up quick
Keep it up man your videos are awesome
Thank you so so much!
That mclaren was all over the place. A phrase that helped me a lot when starting was: to win you dont need to be the fastest car you just need to cross the finish line first. Which made me focus on consistency rather than faster lap times. great vid
Yes if the Mclaren just backed it off a touch, then they would probably win! That's a great phrase for rookie!
Hey!
Yday i saw you on my page, and i liked your content! And i see you got +200 subs for 2 days. Congratulations!!!
Keep it up!
Hey! Thank you so much! A pretty crazy first few days to this channel. Appreciate you checking it out!
Very nice racecraft there Bradley, I see you had some chaos going on at the front too! 😅 exciting to see the race from your perspective. Cheers!
Chaos everywhere right! Looking forward to our next race together Cranki!
Well done Bradley great race and doing well with the rookie series!
I'm having a lot of fun! Thank you!
Nice race Bradley your commentary keeps the viewers on the edge of there seats.. you have good race craft have you played other racing sims..
Thank you for the kind words! I raced GT6 over 10 years ago, but never online. BUT, I watch a lot of motorsport. No better way to learn racecraft then from the best drivers in the world. I think it gives me a good idea of what a successful result is as well. So if I can go forward a few spots in a race then its massive win, and stops me being delusional to thoughts of going 10th to 1st in the first lap.
Nice, controlled racing.
Great to see those sub numbers coming up.
Great content.
Thanks heaps! Still cant believe the numbers to be honest. Appreciate the support!
@@BradleySettersMotorsport I'm relatively new to sim racing (not a beginner, I've been console racing for the best part of 2 decades now, but recently moved onto a wheel and cockpit view), and your videos would be a help to anybody who has a passion for it.
I look forward to seeing your journey through LFM.
We have a similar deal on consoles now, with Simgrid Seasons, and I'm just starting my journey there on ACC.
I'm impressed! That was quite a good finish especially in the wet! I need to practice in the wet more, for sure.
Thank you. I found a real groove in this race, but was big pressure at the end!
great vodeo again m8. well done !!
Cheers mate!
Pretty much in the same boat as you right now. That race 2 was a handful! I like the Race Engineer in the GO Fast app. Sure its not perfect but it relieves some of the tyre pressures and fuel admin while I deal with the rest and still learning the ropes.
Yes its a lot to think about during these sessions right? I will have a look at that app! A little help in that area would be good.
Amazing to see a new face in the ACC community. Great job with the videos quality and commentary!
You should try a fuel calculator you finished with 7 litters that you could just removed with a simple calculation
Thank you so much! I cant thank the ACC community enough for such a warm welcome. I am blown away!
Yes I need to find a good calculator to use and then learn to trust it. Running out of fuel in the first race made me nervous haha. Can you recommend a good one?
@@BradleySettersMotorsport sure thing. I’m using mythiq fuel calculator. Just put your average lap time and race length. And it will tell you a safe fuel strategy and a risky one ( nor on the edge but less fuel )
@@Bobyann Thank you, I will check that out! Do you go by the safe number or the risky number? At the moment I'm being safer then safe, but know its costing me lap time!
@@BradleySettersMotorsport depends on the race and if you have a full formation lap. Usually if I don’t have a formation lap I’m just using the recommended fuel + 1-2 litters just to be safe
A great example of how consistency beats out "being fast". You can set the quickest time of the session, but if you fly off the track every 3 laps, it means nothing. Keep it up
Exactly! I think its easy to lose time in a race, and very hard to make it back up. Hopefully consistency keeps paying off for me!
Great race!
Thank you so much!
Red Bull Ring is one of the most fun tracks in the game - very simple, but fun (especially in the mustang 😂)
Also, a hint: if you want to get rid of visibility issues caused by spray particularly in heavy rain, drive in bonnet cam, there is no spray on the windshield which makes it a LOT easier to see close behind people.
Also in 3rd Person you can see all the cars next to you - same advice level xD
@@jansmejkal8088 if you drive 3rd person in acc you are clinically insane
@@RAAFLightning1 That's why i don't do that hahaha
Yea I thought the spray would be worse then it was actually. Loving the challenge that the in car view is giving me though, and love how its the default of basically all the ACC players. Feels so real sitting in the seat and looking at the car on the ultrawide!
wait what? rookie series now have wet races? :) when i started it didn't had wet races :)
This is what I thought would be the case! I have had greasy track conditions, and even night races recently. First time in those conditions is so challenging! Got to learn it all at some point though.
I know it's rookie class but Azer needs banning driving like that
I cant be mad at people for struggling in tricky conditions. But I agree that after the lap two collision he should have learnt his lesson and be making less mistakes the rest of the race.
Let me just turn this Rain and Damage on and... yeah let me turn those back off. I can learn that later :/
it helped me a lot keeping damage on because that's a constant in every race unlike weather, but yeah I've not practiced in any wet conditions either xd
Just build up slowly like I did. You'll find you can push a lot harder then you first think! I'm not scared of wet races anymore.
Huge job on the P3 brother great drive
Loving your content so far, brother. I'm keen to watch your progression!
Thanks for coming in mate! Appreciate you following along!
I practice racing in rain on wets and dries. There have been a few times it started to rain in the middle of a short race and knowing how to survive it on dries got me a much higher finish than I should have been able to achieve.
Kia ora bro love the video keep up the hard work
Kia ora bro!! You’ll make me home sick with that haha, appreciate it so much!
There's a good bunch of kiwi and aussie guys on either fruit bowl discord and the rain light racing discord who do fun races and lfm racing too if your interested but the time zone may be difficult mate
Cheers
Abs 1 for rain and forget the tc2 only use tc1
Really ABS 1 in the rain? I'm going to need to try that. Thanks for the advice!
@@BradleySettersMotorsport give it a try
Great race Bradley!!! I’ve been wanting to create videos about my passion too. Your channel is a breath of fresh air. Keep it up!! Cant wait for the next race vid 👊🏽
Thank you so much. TH-cam is an amazing tool for sharing your passion with the world. Even if it helps just a few people its worth it!
Good job being consistent and patient, this is what LFM is all about, particularly the rookie series but even beyond tbh. Btw you wanna make sure you're not resting your foot on the brakes, sometimes you give a slight bit of input on the straights. You also often seem to get on the brakes just slightly in anticipation before fully slamming them - probably not a big deal but make sure you don't develop any bad muscle memory. Otherwise nice braking technique tho.
Thank you for noticing that. I really don't want to build up any bad habits! I have been more aware of that in the last few weeks, and am trying to work on it.
Damn you look clean mate, well done. I'm learning to be more patient, also in my time attack mode. Don't need to push every lap and you're faster in the end.
Thank you! Being patient was my only focus this race!
Quick tip for the start. Drag your brakes before the greenlight. Gives you a better launch when dropping the brake and giving full gas. Also easier to hold the speed even with the brake instead of the gas. For me atleast.
Only works in cars with turbo, doesn't affect on the NA ones
Very helpful tips guys! I will be doing this from now.
Great video. Great race. Great result. Great advice ! I think the phrase is GG!
A GG! Thank you. I'm so new back to sim racing that I didn't even know what a GG was to start with haha.
another great vid :) just out of curiosity how many hours do you have on ACC?
Also congrats on all this exposure, a few days you barely had double digit subs when I saw your uploads. the growth is insane, keep the content up :)
Thank you so much! Currently I am 95 hours on ACC. Just got through the first 10 races on LFM, and working on the vids now.
Cant thank the audience enough for the way they have accepted my channel. Such an insane first 4 days. Very excited to get the next videos out for everyone.
@@BradleySettersMotorsport my 20 hours has a lot more to go xd quality of your uploads are great so expect more support :)
The first season I did in LFM I decided to participate in both 25 and 45 min races.
My biggest fail was at the Nurburgring with the race starting off wet then drying out then raining again after the pit stop!
I qualified 2nd in the wet qualifying session! I noticed that the rain was stopping in 5 min so I decided to start the race on Slicks even though I knew I was going to struggle thru the first 2 laps!
I started off the race in 2nd and dropped back to 5th after the first 4 turns.. I just kept the pace steady knowing they were all on Wet tires and I was on Slicks!
As the track dried out their tires over heated and my tires came up to temps. After the 7 laps I'm leading the race!
By the time I Pit I'm leading by a good 10-12 seconds!! Unfortunately I made a critical error! I didn't take enough fuel to go 1 more lap meaning I had to pit a lap early and put on wet tires in dry conditions as the rain was coming AGAIN!
unfortunately my tires were overheating like crazy by the end of my out lap and half way thru the next untill it started raining!
I led the race from lap 7 to the last lap where my wet tires were shot from overheating after the pit stop!
I gave away a 10 second lead in the final 2 laps in the wet! 😂
I ended up doing the race again since I knew what strategy was required!
After 8 laps I'm a good 8 seconds a head of everyone and it's looking great! I had the perfect strategy!
I take the first sector perfectly and start the 2nd sector off great.. down the hill around the bend back up for the high speed left and set up perfect for the left and right before the back str8!
I take the left perfectly and swing out left to take the right and my left rear tire clips the grass and I again blow a several second lead 😂
I missed a few weeks but overall I won 7 of 13 races with 2 disconnects. One I was 2nd with 2 laps and one I was leading about half way thru the race when my GF blew the circuit breaker 😂.
Those disconnects killed my ELO! About 2/3 thru the season they bumped me up into the next class with much faster drivers..
I have a short for the Nurburgring and Valencia for season 2
