Suzuka, I don´t know if love it or hate it 😅 Entertaining race once again, you did quite well. Avoided the initial carnage, then you kept your pace, and at the very end you even gained one freebie! Stay strong Chris, and thank you for the share!💪👍
Cheers, yeah my lap times really came down with a clear track and no pressure behind. Also, I got P5 in the end after all. Jorge got handed a time penalty for causing the T1 crash 🥳
Thank you John, yeah exactly, and my pace was pretty good by the end. If I’d had that pace at the start, I’d have probably qualified up around P6. Cheers
Nice one. Yeah Monday’s races were solid, but not really any action to get a video out of them. Annoyingly, I was leading one race and spun at the chicane at the end of lap 2. By the time I rejoined, I had 20mins of driving around on my own 🤣
Yeah it’s really tough. I’m so ‘in tune’ with ACC now, I forget just how long it took me to learn the feel of it back when I started. Months and months and months. Going back to iRacing these past few weeks has reminded me how hard it is!
@chrisrogerssimracing yeah you said in your last iRacing vid about the difference in smoothness and aggressiveness between the two. That's what I'm really struggling to change between
About bloody time fate threw some luck your way this week Chris 😂😂 great race I don't know how you find the pace at Suzuka I've done 2 races there and they were both in the wet...it scares me that track 😅
Well, maybe you should quickly head to Vegas!!!😁 A big congrats on your finish and yup, luck was with you today!! I was hoping your LFM ACC event would be much better than what you were experiencing the day before! Thanks so much for sharing w us!!! (eyeing some wss events today...)
Thank you mate, yeah my pace really improved with a clear track and no pressure. Got P5 in the end too, because Jorge was given a time penalty for causing the T1 crash 🥳
ACC is like an arcade racing game from the 80s, you need to survive the road blocks they constatly build. The average racecraft and skill level is worse than ever.
Sadly it seems so. Same in iRacing too, if my Hockenheim experiences are anything to go by. Across all sims, there seems to be a real lack of ability to race closely behind/alongside someone without hitting them.
@@chrisrogerssimracing it's a mix of things that contribute to it, most people don't have extra monitors to see out their windows. No risk cause it's obviously a simulation. And connection issues too. Though you'd think with the monthly subscription, iracing would be cleaner!
Great result! Am I the only one thinking the black McLaren should have pulled aside to let the car he punted take his position back? I get really frustrated when someone puts me off and continues on their merry way! This isn't NASCAR!
Yes, I certainly would have. Also, it was the same guy who drove into the white Ferrari at T1 and caused the wreck. Either of those two drivers could report him. If they did report it, he’d get a time penalty and I’d be promoted to P5 🤞
I think F.Jorge knew what he was doing, left himself in a bad position at the start to cause the first accident and then "accidentally" gives the guy a nudge to take his position on the last corner.
Well, I didn’t mention it in the video, but I’d done this race an hour earlier and Jorge was in front of me then too, he had a crash with someone else doing that and I wasn’t able to avoid it, so I crashed out too. It’s one of the main reasons I was so happy to let him pass me when he was behind me at the start of the race… I felt there was more risk of a crash if he was attacking me.
Clowns to the left, jokers to the right. 😅Nice race, though I still feel you're a bit passive on the defence work. In the end you had better pace that Jorge. Still, he might have tried pulling something like that last move on you. Always a job to know in a sim, people tend to get frustrated and do silly things if you happen to be decent in defensive driving.
Yeah, so there was a bit more to that position surrender than I explained on video. I’d done the race an hour earlier, and Jorge was in front of me in that race too. Again, he was a touch quicker but he was also involved in another bump of the car in front of him. I couldn’t avoid the resulting incident and crashed out too. So I was a little nervous when I saw him right on my tail like that. Had flashbacks of the previous race!
I just play the replay on my PC as normal, and then screen record the parts of the replay I want to use. That saves it as an mp4 and you can then do what you want with it. I use Nvidia GeForce for screen recording, but any software will work. I have a video guide on how I make my vids here: th-cam.com/video/2DO6AeGGK-k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YwcqBo8vPXBw_Aoz
I’m kinda hoping the Nissan in P5 will report Jorge for the bump. If Jorge gets a time penalty, that’s P5 for me! Wishful thinking though, as that Nissan has already made the mistake himself, even before the contact.
Haha what a luck, but sometimes there is the opportunity, you at the right place and time. Hope p5 got a penalty after this stupid shit he did at the end .
Thanks, yeah I did get P5 in the end! Although not because of the crash at the end… Jorge instead got a time penalty for causing the T1 wreck. So yeah, an even more fortunate outcome for me! 🥳
Well, if the mclaren gets reported (probably will so), he is in for a 3 day ban for the start crash and 15s time penalty...and another 10s if the nissan reports
@ Yay, thanks for letting me know! I just searched on the LFM Discord and found it 😃 the official race results haven’t been updated yet, but I’ll look forward to seeing that notification pop up soon 🤞
Suzuka, I don´t know if love it or hate it 😅 Entertaining race once again, you did quite well. Avoided the initial carnage, then you kept your pace, and at the very end you even gained one freebie! Stay strong Chris, and thank you for the share!💪👍
Ha! It was like the proverbial parting of the waves! That said, you got a well deserved placing at the end given your improved lap times.
Cheers, yeah my lap times really came down with a clear track and no pressure behind. Also, I got P5 in the end after all. Jorge got handed a time penalty for causing the T1 crash 🥳
Great race and great content.
Appreciate the high level of editing and commentary on your videos, which sets you apart from others.
That’s very kind of you to say, thank you. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Well done Chris ! You had some luck mate but you made sure to take full advantage which is defo not always the case for a lot of us. 😀
Thank you John, yeah exactly, and my pace was pretty good by the end. If I’d had that pace at the start, I’d have probably qualified up around P6. Cheers
0:55 the sim racing gods opened the door wide open for you to go through the chaos. Great vid as always!
They did indeed! Couldn’t believe my luck. Cheers mate
Cracking race. About time you had some good luck 😁
Thanks Alan, yeah it doesn’t happen often! Wasn’t expecting to get in the top ten here, so definitely a stroke of luck to finish so high.
risk versus reward.. there speaks a wise sim racer.... another cracking show Chris
Thank you Nij, hope you’re well mate.
Love your content. Been waiting for Suzuka as I was in a race with you on Monday. Unfortunately not this video but entertaining as always.
Nice one. Yeah Monday’s races were solid, but not really any action to get a video out of them. Annoyingly, I was leading one race and spun at the chicane at the end of lap 2. By the time I rejoined, I had 20mins of driving around on my own 🤣
Well done mate, good driving. I'm still struggling with getting my mindset right for ACC. Such a different driving style to what I'm used too 😅
Yeah it’s really tough. I’m so ‘in tune’ with ACC now, I forget just how long it took me to learn the feel of it back when I started. Months and months and months. Going back to iRacing these past few weeks has reminded me how hard it is!

Suzuka in the wet is terrifying. I find it slippery in the dry! Unlucky that you’ve managed to find the wet races!
My bad luck enabled your good fortune, where do I send the invoice mate 😂😂
Well, maybe you should quickly head to Vegas!!!😁 A big congrats on your finish and yup, luck was with you today!! I was hoping your LFM ACC event would be much better than what you were experiencing the day before! Thanks so much for sharing w us!!! (eyeing some wss events today...)
Maybe I should! I was delighted to hear you got some good races in too. Hopefully this weekend will be equally as kind 🤞
Nice to see the racing gods smiling on you for once.
Haha thanks, yeah, it doesn’t happen often!
Great Racing Chris, it's a track where you can really benefit from others misfortune
Very much so. Such a messy T1, but it was a refreshing change not to be in the middle of it!
Hi Chris, you deserve a bit of luck, but you did drive well after getting through.
Thank you mate, yeah my pace really improved with a clear track and no pressure. Got P5 in the end too, because Jorge was given a time penalty for causing the T1 crash 🥳

As the seas parted so did the bad luck lift off the Lamborghini. Swiftly he stuffed the car through the opening leaving the luck of the devil behind.
🤣
So close to a top 5. Maybe next time.
I’m kinda hoping the Nissan in P5 will report Jorge for the bump. If Jorge gets a time penalty, that’s P5 for me! Wishful thinking though, as that Nissan has already made the mistake himself, even before the contact.

Yeah, I’m kinda hoping that happens, because it will give me P5!
@@chrisrogerssimracing he did get penalized as causing a collision in lap 1, so still 15s - enjoy P5 :D

Don't you just love it when something happens that makes you feel like Moses? Now you need to publish your ten commandments.
Too right. I was just waiting for the inevitable whack that would send my car into a spin, but it never came. Unbelievable!
