- Sometimes it's chaos.. but sometimes its not! And when its not I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better online racing experience than iRacing. What started as a random "let's just in and drive", turned into an extremely enjoyable pickup race. Not bad for a random group of folks on the net!
So enjoy, 50 laps and one exciting race around Talladega in these 200+ mph beauties!

The Speed Era of NASCAR was insane. Going at almost the speed of a 1980’s Indycar with over double the weight is just astonishing. It makes you think how fast the cars would’ve gone after 1987 had it not been for Bobby Allison’s crash at Talladega that year.
"Rusty Wallace completed a 2004 test for NASCAR at Talladega in which he used an unrestricted motor to complete average lap speeds of 221 mph (356 km/h) and top speeds near 230 mph (370 km/h)." Wallace noted the cars would go faster in a draft, besides tinkering from the crews, perhaps 235mph tops. Today's cars could possibly go even faster, but are said to be harder to drive.
@@xxxYYZxxx Yeah, driving a car faster than 230mph would cause it to be incredibly unstable and tracks like Daytona and Talladega could potentially become death zones like how large ovals were for Indycar.
@@austinreed5805 Your point is why I think NASCAR is such an ideal series. Because it's not plausible to race much faster in any series, Cup cars being built like tanks can survive multi car wrecks that would destroy open wheel cars and kill the drivers.
220mph in a 3500lb brick on bias ply tires. All the firesuits back then had extra room sewed into the front of the pants to accommodate the enormous balls of the drivers.
Don’t know how with all the downforce todays cars would be harder.
Was the 18 car in this race running up front with you until pit stops (forgot to change fuel amount and screwed myself). Even though I dropped back pretty far, this was easily one of the most fun races I've done on iRacing. Glad it's recorded in full on youtube.
Never thought I'd watch a full 50 laps of iRacing NASCAR one day, and yet I gripped my seat for the whole duration. That was awesome!
Same here I just couldn't look away
I just did and I'm not a Nascar fan
I saw your comment before watching and thought to myself "no way I watch this all the way through too." Well here I am 42 min later...
That was awesome! I have been on iracing for 8 years and haven't done an Official Series race in 2 years, as I only run in League races. So, so much better. But this was like a league race. Very enjoyable to watch. Great Win!
Oh my god, dude I was cheering IRL, that was exciting! That was amazing race, congrats on the win!!!
Props to the entire field being so respectful, great drivers all around!
As a european I never thought I'd be so captivated for 42 minutes watching an onboard of an iRacing race with 87's nascars. But I was
Beware, for once you acquire a taste for flat-out oval racing, everything else looks slow by comparison.
I live 50 minutes south of Watkins Glen International & hearing 43 of those V8’s come flying down the backstretch before the chicane is fuckin awesome. The feeling you get on the first lap by when you get a whiff of high octane racing fuel & the sound gives me goosebumps every time. The cars exhaust pipes are also pointed towards the inside of the track so it’s much louder than on the opposite side of the track. 👍
As a felow European i understand it. in 1997 me and my parents visited Daytona racetrack and I have been a fan of Nascar ever since. I hope to see a race in person next year.
I would actually get a new iracing subscription just to do the nascar stuff for banter streams.
No one I'd rather finish second to. Great race, well deserved win.
Great racing with you! Was so surprised to get such a clean race like that. Fingers crossed for more in the future
That was an awesome battle!
Luckiest people in America this week :
#1 Jake with 50 green flag laps in iRacing.
#2 That guy who won $1.5 billion on the Powerball.
Your race craft on all simulators is superb.
You know it's a good race when you have to contemplate strategy at 200mph
Hey! I watch you and im in the Home Depot car! What a race with no yellows!
That was the quickest 42 minutes of my life. I watched it from beginning to end and enjoyed every second of it as per usual with your content. I'm very proud that you got that win in only your second iracing entry. Hopefully we will see more of this?
That was so exciting! And because I never skipped forward, I didn't think until the very end that "we" would make it, wow, well done.
This is amazing!! I was on the edge of my seat almost the whole race. Bravo to you and the other drivers
I absolutely love the car pulling a full Cruis'n USA wheelie @3:38. Haha.
Reminds me of the time we completed lap 1 of an MX Cup C race completely clean. They all crashed in T1 of lap 2 instead. Good race brother!
My heart melted when I saw the Superflo #46 come around.
“Cole, next time by I want you to hit the Pace Car…you’ve hit everything else on the damn track, so I just figured you would want to be perfect…” 😂
7:45, It's great to keep it straight. That really was a good job on all drivers, no spins by two drivers and you didn't panic.
Hell yes. Not all NASCAR entices me, but the chance to drive a certain red Coors Thunderbird really gets my juices flowing!
17:04
Jake: _"Hey. No need to bump me, Brough."_
Dakota: _"I'm not your bro, pal!"_
That was a solid race, nice job at the end there holding it down and picking the right lane.
The right foot braking on a super speedway is giving me anxiety. But what a great race.
I love the historical race car reviews you have are great but i have definitely like your random races you put on as well. It was exciting watching you go up through the field during my workout this morning. Kept me motivated to keep pushing. 💪
Hands down my favorite oval car on the service. This was an amazing race, and great win.
Last time i raced these we had a caution at about lap 14 or so and went green after that. I would have to go back and watch the replay but everyone ended up spread out real bad. First and second was way ahead and i was in 5th coming up on 3/4. I figured if we could draft i would be able to catch them as i was already gaining on the leaders but 3/4 were bumper to bumper running about 190 lol. I didnt slow down for them but finished the race in 3rd. Would of been sweet we if would have been able to link up and make it a race at the end.
nascar's best era for me (pure nostalgia as a spectator. quite dangerous though)
Watched his videos from time to time, but first time seeing his face. Bro looks like he stepped off the set of a 1970s car movie.
The unsponsored look is DOPE! What a fuckin' race, great job to all!
@10:48, all of a sudden it looks fast, once he takes the lead. Reminds me of passing everyone on the highway, perhaps in the fog or rain, only to realize the anxiety of being on point. 😵💫
Mesmerizing race, glad I found your channel, great stuff on here.
Amazing. I like to think the little unsponsored underdog beat the big boys for the unlikely win.
As a St. Louisan, I incredibly appreciate the Imo's Pizza livery on the car that placed P2. Absolute legend! And congorts on the win! xD
Lmao I actually first noticed the STL flags and then I was like IMOS?? So funny to see outside of this city.
As much as I hate Imos I was pleasantly impressed with the livery. StL represent!
“We’ve made it two laps without a yellow flag” love it.
absolute favorite cars can not wait to run in my Leagues 5th Annual 87 500 in January
Having been at Talladega for over 25 years, the sound of the cars engines at full song as they speed by is spot on. Amazing job
Was never a NASCAR fan...until today! Amazing Race! Great job by the rest of the split as well.
Hard work has paid off. You've always been a decent racer since I've watched, and a world-class presenter. You are way better now. Fast. I'm sure you'll also be more consistently recognized as a world-class racer like you've proven to be.
I am only ever critical of the mocking God stuff 😂🙏🏻✝️ I guess I stuck up for Paul Tracy on Twitter* because I was invited to a last minute dinner with him by a mutual friend, but I was two hours away. He was also born near where I was, and he drove fast for a guy twice the size of some of his contemporaries. So, I liked him in spite of his abrasive personality 😂 Anyways, I was going to delete my comment, but the post was gone. Sorry.
Also anyways, well done. Your greatest moments are still ahead.
No concerns at all! Glad you enjoyed the race!!!
Last week gen 4 was at dega, and the week before the iR 18 was there. It is amazing how clean the races have been.
I could watch this type of respectful, good iRacing content all day, specially if we're talking about "Speed Era" NASCAR
you played that perfect on the last lap keeping your car down and forcing the second place car up top . There was no way he was gonna get around you seeing as he had to cover more ground than you ! well played Jake !!! 😊👌
I used to race against all those guys, I stopped after they got mad that I kept beating them without any help side drafting them. 10 wins in one week. 😂😂😂
Holy cow man … that was AWESOME.
I almost never watch iRacing, but that was an enjoyable video
That was a good race. That lapper messed it up for 2nd place. We use to have some great racing in the Papy titles at dega daytona with our league JRL, just racing league. I’ve not been able to get into the nascar oval in iracing, feels off. I’ve got lapped the 87 cars, they’re more for the current gens
Amazing Jake! Loved it, thats the first iRacing race ive watched in full with no skipping.
This reminded me why I LOVED iRacing back 15 or so years ago...Craftsman Trucks Series...so much fun!!!
much love from the 46 car. chris fleming2. was cruising around youtube and was like wait, i think i was in this race, low and behold i was. pleasure racing with you.
Classy racing by 33. Gave you room into 3, raced you clean to the line. Many times he could’ve body slammed you, pinned you, or moved you down so he could get that draft
Hey mate! Love your videos, and the knowledge you have for motorsport both old and new! Your video production and channel/thumbnail artwork is incredible, do you do this yourself? Would love to know your secrets 😉
I do everything myself yeah! Enjoy making screenshots/editing videos
What a race!
so you do race online i would love to see more iracing content
Nice race. Had me on the edge during that last lap. I'm curious if iRacing allows each player to run their own suspension tweaks (caster, camber, toe, etc..) Thanks for sharing..
These cars are great fun at pretty much every track. Shame I got a penalty and wasn't in it at the end!
I love this car itself, and I know you are aware as a fan of classic motorsports how a race with these cars should be run, but most of the users on iRacing act like it can be a 3 wide pack draft. It really bothers me. This race is one of the better example of at least 7 or 8 guys at the front that know it's better to stay more single file and snake people out of the draft to make passes. this was the era of the slingshot draft, not the pack draft... That's the one thing dragging this series down. A lack of knowledge by the users on how to approach superspeedway racing properly in the pre-restirctor plate era.
I would absolutely love for you to do a late 80s era NASCAR series. The speed, the looks, the technique; the speed era was unmatched. If you could do something similar to the “1966 season” series, that would be golden. This was an absolutely amazing watch, looking forward to seeing more like this.
Dude that was awesome 👏👏
If you're looking for a way to get real gone, then get out of my dreams and get into my car, and come with me on a magic carpet ride.
Was that a dinner with racers decals on the 3? Dope podcast
Awesome stuff mate! 🎉
That was awesome.
This is the Mooncar setup.. you need to get on some of the Mooncar races
that would be fun!
@@GPLaps they run 87’s and it’s one of my favorite series for iracing
Nice racing dude GG
I'm just disappointed that as mentioned on stream you didn't put yourself in the thumbnail with TH-cam surprise face 😆
That was amazing. Not only did I just watch an entirely caution free NASCAR race, but you got the win. You had my attention beginning to finish.
Great job!
Super awesome
Banger video bro... Like watching a real race. I remember watching NASCAR in 86-87... I was 6.. Good Times...
What an awesome race 🏁
Hey Jake, what headset are you using? The mic sound is perfect. Thanks for continuing to upload my favorite racing content on TH-cam!
I have the Audio Technica BPHS1!
@@GPLaps thanks for the quick reply!
That was one of the best races I’ve see by far. Congratulations Jake. Are you streaming on Twitch now?
Not regularly, just for random things!
Just to confirm, these cars are not able to keep it fully pinned through the corners while at drafting speed, right? No matter the setup? I found this to be the case racing against AI. It caught me by surprise because I always assumed it was full throttle all the time.
Ha... that was an awesome race, I was fully invested. Congrats on the win, it was really great driving & great strategy for only your 2nd race 👍😊
Amazing race, you could see how bad #33 wanted and was gunning for it in the final stretch. Fantastic stuff.
That was great to watch Jake. Great timing for me to watch as next season in iRacing I am adding the 87s to my Lotus79 and Kamel GT series for my team mates and buddies to join and concentrate on :) I just need to work out what the best day to race the 87s is when we have good numbers during the week/weekend :)
Great race!! That was definitely the best era for the sport.
awesome!
I still don't get any of the intricacies but was gripped from the start. Awesome job Jake, and well done everyone else for keeping it clean.
When you get a good group of people, I don't think there's a better combination on iRacing than the 87s and Talladega. Best racing.
Not to distract from the content but how in dales name did you get your footage to be to clear?! I can’t even get what I see to be this clear…
"open lobby" for an 87 race in iRacing may as well be a league... no other sim has an experience quite like this...
That was some great clean racing. Congrats on the caution free race win👍. That was fun to watch
Oh yeah !!!! Inject that shit into my veins !!! Thanks for uploading it, mate
That's it, I don't think iRacing can be any better.
I’ve heard the car physics are great wondering if iRacing has plans to upgrade its game engine to something that adds immersion like graphics in order to epget rid of the cartoonish looking sim?
What’s your spotter called, I wanna use it
6:41 wheeeeee
Imo's car on pole LETS GO ST LOUIS
Pro tip: Don't lift into corners, keep the throttle pegged and ride the brake to bleed speed. Keeps your chassis at a more consistent attitude. This is NASCAR: Never Lift.
Wow... I'm almost speechless... while watching the race before the pit stop if you had told me you were going to win I would have said no way. It's like you are afraid to have a car within a car length of you but then after the pit stop all of a sudden you were racing. Why don't you drive like that for the whole race? Just trying to survive?
Wait these are in iracing?? I had kids and have been so out of the loop lately 😅
Man that was fun to watch. Took me until lap 10 until I seen your face on left top. Lol goes to show you in not a rearview mirror guy. Thanks for sharing vid. Was awesome
Great stuff, made me resub to iRacing after many years away, I missed some proper oval racing!
I absoluetly love Nascar in Iracing, got to group B i think, same of these retro cars.
Problem is, as a European you cant really participate in races because of the time-zone of these races. Some races are at 10pm for me and we gotta wake up for work. Hopefully one day, Iracing will try to solve this. Good old nascar for the soul.
Hey Jake. I know it's a far cry from the above video but did you ever feature or run the can am mod for GPL or the mod for Rf1? Those cars were almost the pinnacle imo for the late 60s early 70s. Would be cool seeing them getting some love on tracks that aren't Road America or Road Atlanta.
I did eventually get to go to sleep :D
Awesome racing Jake
If you haven't seen it before you should look into the Mooncar league races with this car. Full field of up to 60 guys going at 120% the whole race, almost always 2 and 3 wide with the occasional 4 and 5 wide when things get wild.
If nascar drivers spoke like this during the race, and they broadcast it, I'd watch modern NASCAR. But alas, plus stage racing is an affront to God.
I did a victory burnout in an AI race and I got black flagged for going the wrong way and got DQ'd! What did I do wrong compared to you? I did a full cooldown lap and everything. Is it possible not every car had crossed the finish line when I did it?
those cars in the 80s would lap todays cars in a short time. today they are lucky to hit 195 in a draft when average speed for the 80s cars was about 212 and top speed was close to 220 at daytona and talladega. but if they would get rid of those stupid restrictor plates and let the teams go back to the most horsepower days todays cars would smoke the older ones. the drivers back then were real drivers those days are long gone i wish for someone like Dale Earnhardt i miss him
Can you do a full season of AI racing with the 88 mod yet?
this makes me want to play iracing so bad, but i keep getting error message , easy anticheat not installed...
