I just ran the fixed setup in the open, so I didn't get any advantage from less downforce, which I'm guessing is the way to go at Thurxton. I'll give the low downforce setup a run out at Daytona in the open and see how it goes
The way you entered the chicane sideways just after the first contact was badass! 😎 Love your videos, I'm a beginner too, trying to earn some iRating at the BMW M2 Cup :)
Protest the guy from the first race. You did an honest mistake, he did something completely against the sporting code. Sucks for him that he gets taken out due to your mistake, but he doesn't get to do that on the last lap. I saw him arriving on your relative towards the end of the race and knew exactly what was coming. Just fyi, you can never gain irating finishing last in a race. It's an ELO type system - you take irating from people you finish ahead of, and lose irating to people you finish behind. If you're last, you have nobody to collect irating from! You could hypothetically gain irating by finishing second to last if you were like 1k in a field of 10k drivers. You'd lose almost nothing vs the people in front of you (even though there are a lot of them), but gain a decent chunk vs the single 10k guy you beat.
I have the replay still so I will probably send it off when I am next online. Thanks for the info on the iRating system. I hadn't even thought that it would be an ELO system but then what else would it be? haha
Haha well I'm glad you are enjoying the content cutty. Always good to take a brake if you aren't having fun (me to my gambling addiction before putting another £10 on Tottenham to win)
@Deckchair_Racing haha. I also have knee issues and on Sunday playing some Beamng i ripped something again and managed to get a dr appointment today to have it looked at and get a referral. I've dealt with this knee for 2.5 years so hopefully I can get fixed up and race more lol
Hey George, great racing! You'll be in the iRacing 5,000 iRating club in no time! Have you checked out the Next Level Racing wheel stand? Will accomade pedal/shifter/hand brake That's what I'm using and it's very sturdy It's $250 USD It also has a tray that you con drop your lawn chair front legs into for stability
I don't like to protest as its racing and accidents happen. You say sorry if you make a mistake and move on. But I'd definitely be considering a protest against Callum. He was over 30 seconds ahead of you and its obvious he was slowing for a revenge punt. The fact that he didn't punt you is more good luck and evasion from you than his attempt. It's attitudes like that that really puts me off racing on iRacing sometimes.
Oh yeh. I'm not at all bothered about being rear ended, mistakes happen and it had no impact on the race. But you are right, the intentional attempt would have been frustrating if it had worked
I'm sorry George, but, you need a better seat. Having a firm base to put your bum, which doesn't move backwards and forwards everytime you brake, will help you control brake pressure which leads to better trail braking, threshold braking and better laptimes and of course you'll need to get a race seat that looks like a deckchair. Anyway, as usual, it was excellent content and anyone who dive bombs and tries to bump pass and push to pass isn't realy playing fair so don't feel to bad for Callum!
In the deckchairs defense, it isn't actually the problem. It's also a bit comfier now that the I have put a cushion under my ass. The problem is that my desk is so deep, that I can't just sit the pedals against the wall to hold them in place. So I have a think hardback book sat against the wall with the pedals propped against that. It holds for 9 out of 10 races but when it doesn't, it is a fucking nightmare. You are right though, a more stable setup would absolutely improve things! I am thinking about it but it's a massive investment so I'm holding fire for now
@@Deckchair_Racing I don’t have much room to give advice to drivers that can wheel a TCR car 2 seconds faster than my PB. Don’t know how you guys do it. The fact you are doing so without any kind of “rig” whatsoever at that level is even more impressive. When I started out I did the similar propping up the pedals unmounted against a wall with a book driving from a computer chair with the casters removed. But once I setup a custom rig (scrap metal from work I welded to resemble a rig anyway) where I was able to mount a stable seat and actually mount my pedals with bolts to a pedal deck so the base never moved, my times and consistency improved immediately. Your driving skills are impressive, I’m just curious how you would do when potential inconsistency from unmounted pedals and seat are removed from the equation. 😃. Great racing, subbed, will be watching more.
@KodiaKSE Thanks a lot. Honestly, I have no idea why I was so fast in these races, just sheer luck I think. I hope you enjoy the rest of the content on my channel! Glad to have you here!
@@Deckchair_Racing And another tip. If you get a slow down in that final chicane madness you dont have to actually slow down because youll give the time back in the right left right onto the back
@@Deckchair_Racing What I tend to do on a circuit where I havent raced that car before is in the 30 minute practice intentionally get slow downs and see where they run out without backing off. If the time to give back starts to go up you know that for that particular one you will need to slow down but you can work out by how much.
The stuff he tried to do at the end is protestable and he will get a ban, but yes, you killed him :) After he bumped you, he actually waited for you to go forward, before you killed him :)
More TCR content needed!
Great video!
Thanks a lot Jay! Hopefully I'll find some time for another video this weekend
Absolutely love the cuntent, keep it up my bud and time permitting, more please
Glad you like the cuntent. I'll try my hardest!
TCR is great. Raced every week so far in this season. Fastet race lap in 30min open at Thruxston was a 1:16,6.

lol you gotta report callum mate. he needs a vacation from iracing i think
It's racing not every race is a clean one but we live and learn from it
Damn right Captain Silver
Quality video mate well done
Much appreciated
I've have had terrible luck and the only iracing I am doing is watching your content lol. Nice racing!

Hate to say it, but I think you killed Calum.
Looks like you're gelling with the more stable platform of the Civic. Love to see it!

Haha thanks Jack. I haven't seen that one but it is definitely the kind of thing I am considering. Is it collapseable?
@Deckchair_Racing Yes it folding with your wheel and pedals on it Worth checking out YAW sells a motion one for $2,200 USD 😅🤣😂

knew you would love TCR,Great racing bud carnt wait to se ya on track,also callum drifted into you racin incident,
It's great nick. I'm thinking of doing to Roar in it at the 16:00 GMT timeslot on Saturday but that is weekend plans permitting at the moment
@@Deckchair_Racing interesting let me know if ya need a team mate or anything mate
@@nickstone3606 It's only a shorty so I'm planning on soloing it again. What iRating are you though? Maybe I will see you on track

On the other hand: Him abusing the better position after such a dive bomb is pretty dirty as well
QQ what overlay s that?
It is the free to use version of iOverlay
Quick Thruxton tip. Dont get into the habit of taking so much curb. In other cars it WILL tip you (how do I know this 😁)
Haha. You know what, that doesn't surprise me at all, those curbs are SHARP. What car did you manage to flip?
@@Deckchair_Racing BMW GT4. They are at Thruxton this week in the Power Tour
@@Deckchair_Racing And another tip. If you get a slow down in that final chicane madness you dont have to actually slow down because youll give the time back in the right left right onto the back
Ah that is good to know. I'll remember for when I'm next driving there. Thanks a lot!

Who is this imposter and what has he done with the George that we know and love? 😛
Haha don't worry mate, I was just as shocked as you are
The stuff he tried to do at the end is protestable and he will get a ban, but yes, you killed him :) After he bumped you, he actually waited for you to go forward, before you killed him :)
Yeh we both made mistakes for sure
Bro, he didn’t deserve to be alongside you after rear ending you, and then trying to take you out at the end, you hate to see it.
