Haha we sure do. And I wasn’t too downhearted, because I’ve had so many great races in ACC LFM this season. I was bound to get a bad week sooner or later. Law of averages 🤣 cheers
Yeah you’re right! The biggest wreck I’ve ever seen was at Watkins. I love racing it too though… I feel pretty quick around there. Trouble is, so was everybody else 🤣
So I did report it in the end (I was waiting to see if I got an apology, but didn’t). He did indeed get a 3-day ban for causing the mass crash. I know my oversteer played a part too, but I argued that I wouldn’t have oversteered if I hadn’t been bumped out wide to start with. A real shame it ended like that, as the potential was there for a cracking race! Maybe next time 😃
@@jasonbradley7057 Even the graphics aren't that good compared to original AC with a couple of mods. I've tried so hard to get into ACC after getting into sim racing exactly a year ago now through watching Chris channel but it's the only sim I cannot seem to jive with at all. The driving experience is so harsh feeling to me that it's off putting and the graphics makes me feel like i'm in a cartoon. 😀 Maybe I don't have the settings done right or maybe that harsh feel is in fact extremely realistic but having fell in love with Raceroom, original AC and to a lesser extent i racing I've personally found ACC to feel totally different to those other 3 i mentioned.

Holy moly! This ACC GT3 combination often ends in carnage alas. I can't quite work out why drivers take such risks of moving across the track during that section on lap one! Even the fella who came down your inside at T1 in race 1 is risking a massive crash. He can see it'll put you all three wide at least! I've gotta say the guy in race two essentially driving through you is pretty poor too. Maybe you were in his blindspot as your rear was going, but before that he shouldn't be driving normal speed into your rear as if you weren't there. What a way to end a season of racing! Onwards to the next one Chris!
Yeah it was brutal all round. I backed right out as soon as that Macca slung it up the inside at T1. Didn’t want any part of that! But it’s a huge risk from the guy to assume that I’d back out. Luckily for him, I did. Aggression levels everywhere were off the charts though!
A really bad day of "trying to race" there Chris. It's unfortunate that people like that still are able to show up and get into the races! Thanks for sharing w us!
Haha yeah I remember your disaster zones in ACC. To be fair, I’ve had a very good run of excellent races this season, so I wasn’t too downhearted by these ones. Law of averages said I was overdue a disaster!
@@bluebird9378 Yeah I’m usually Split 2 or Split 3 if there are lots of entries. To be fair, most of my races this season have been very good. This was a rare exception.
Love your format Chris, I really wish you’d bring it to GT7. I know it’s not a pure sim, but half those cars would have been ghosted and you’re much less likely to suffer from the incompetence of others. Full sim is fine if you can get a regular set of opponents you can trust, but the average level of skill is just not adequate.
Ahh yeah, sadly I’ve never owned a PS so have never been able to give it a try. It was a complete disaster zone this week, but the law of averages said I was overdue one… been a lot of great races this season, so I’ll try not grumble too much about this week’s. Well, maybe a little grumble 🤣
Ach well Chris at least we viewers get a great realist perspective from you of the low points as well as the good days. 😁 PS I'd love to see you back on Raceroom again for a few races at some point in the future. I got my pc and wheel a year ago now after watching your vids got me motivated to give this a go myself but I'm a fast learner and reckon I'm at the point where I could keep up with you now. 😆I did just miss you on there recently though when you done that race after the new graphics update. Anyways thanks for getting me into this mate, i'm really having a blast with it. My girlfriend hates you though.
Haha 🤣 ahh nice one, yeah I’m fully intending to do more regular RaceRoom racing again now. This week’s schedule wasn’t very kind to me, as I don’t own the M2s and I’ve done Portimao quite a lot lately. But I’ll definitely be racing sometime next week 👍
the guy in the mustang behind you has such incredible race awareness. saw what was happening and backed off not bothered if he lost positions. more people need to be like that
Jesus, you really had a bad time in both races. If in race 1 the incident was nasty, at race two it was even nastier, and you could do nothing unfortunately. Do not feel down and we all know that in the next races you will be back on top shape and ready to give an headache to your opponents. Big cheers Chris, and TY for the share!💪👍
Yes, we all have bad days on track. Unfortunately those days are usually caused by other drivers. It's frustrating. And then you have a good day and sim racing is fun again.
Very much so. And I wasn’t too frustrated by it, because I’ve had such a good run of races this season. Law of averages always said I was due a bad one soon, and this was it!
That was quite a tough last week of the season 🙁. Reminded me a bit of my own race this week since i also got taken out in a first lap mass crash. Unfortunately these kind of incidents happen quite often at Watkins Glen 😬 I hope there are better races to come for you again. 😄
I really enjoy your videos. The commentary sounds a lot like I remember clips from BTCC in the 90s sounded like! Sadly we only got very brief glimpses of BTCC on the Swedish television. But our own STCC was very high quality too, with Rickard Rydell at his best.
Would love to see you in the multi class nur24hrs. Hopefully you at least got an apology from the Lexus. It’s a good mindset to look at how you could have changed the outcome but at the end of the day the initial hit was what caused the unfortunate events that unfolded the carnage.
Sadly no apology, so I filed a report this morning. Yeah, I know my oversteer is what initiated the bigger hit, but in the report I argued that I wouldn’t have oversteered in the first place, if I’d not been bumped off line. We’ll see what the ruling is. Thanks for watching 😃
Paul's not gonna be happy. 😂 Haven't had a chance this week on one of my better tracks. Cramming for exams. The thing with WG is that it's fast but not all that wide. Certainly not as wide as somewhere like Silverstone. So, any mistake has a chance of taking half the field with it. Some really clumsy driving there. That second one wasn't on you. He shouldn't have hit you in the first place. First one definitely should be done for causing a masscrash on lap 1. Second one should as well, but the LFM stewards sometimes try to err on the side of caution. Had one decision the other day at Paul Ricard where a guy hit a car in front of him, goes off and then tries a rejoin with a badly damaged car and instead of parking it, drifts across the track, taking me out in the process. But they only looked at the initial incident and put it down to lag. Never mind the rejoin or not holding the brake. That's why I very rarely submit a report.
Oh yeah, you’re mates with Paul aren’t you? I did send him a message afterwards to say sorry that he got caught up in it. He was very good about it all. I waited to see if I got an apology from the Lexus, but I didn’t… so I filed a report. I’m not sure if LFM will rule in my favour, because it was my oversteer that initiated the crash-causing hit. But my argument was that I wouldn’t have had oversteer if I hadn’t been bumped off line. We’ll see what happens. The first one from the white Macca was terrible! Completely careless. I hope someone has reported that too.
@@chrisrogerssimracing To be honest, that's why I don't always apologise if I screw up. I don't want them thinking they shouldn't report. I don't mind a report if it's caused by a bad decision on my part. It's when people complain about an incident they've caused that I get steamed up. Knowing Paul, wouldn't surprise me if he reviewed the second incident and reported it. He has the exact opposite reporting philosophy to me. 😂
Ooof! Well... look at it this way: Without bad weeks like this, you wouldn't appreciate the good weeks as much! In the first race, did the red Ferrari lock brakes? If not, I think a lot of that carnage could have been avoided. Yeah... you mentioned it in the video, and I was thinking it too... Chris, you didn't lock brakes. But like you said, your car's actions didn't look nearly as bad as the brake indicator on the HUD. ;-) That Lexus sure caused some havoc! Did you at least get an apology from him after the race?
Yeah, not holding the brakes was an impulse decision when I realised I was naturally rolling backwards. Thought it might give people a bit more time to readjust and go around me. But to be honest, when you’re facing backwards at that point of the track, it’s a no-win situation whatever you do! I was well and truly roughed up 🤣
Cheers Matt, yeah Watkins loves a good pile-up! Any other week, I’d have made time to try it again, but the Argyle game has been moved to Friday night this weekend so I’m having to travel down to Plymouth a day early. Great start for you boys! We’re pretty happy with our start too. Only the one win so far, but Rooney’s got us attacking again and playing some decent stuff, so we’re feeling positive!
@@chrisrogerssimracing cheers chris, it's really exciting to see the blues in the state they are, regardless of what league. You've got some decent players who can play some footie, unlike us when Rooney was there. Good luck Friday
I can say it has been vicious this week nobody wants to give space I don't understand how some of these guys can take damage and then just keep racing in order to be the fastest you have to keep your car pristine condition
Yeah, I thought the same. Such a huge wreck in race 2, it seemed like I was the only one who suffered damage. I spent most of the time in the pits on my own, and rejoined 2-3 laps behind everyone else. So somehow, they all managed to keep driving!
Selfish and unnecessary driving by Schnettberg there. From your perspective it might have just been worth leaving the door open, let him through and they will almost certainly die before the end of the race anyway. Hindsight is 20-20 vision though and it is a lot easier to make that decision outside of the car!
Yeah, the annoying thing was I let him past once for that exact reason, but then decided to attack and get the position back when he was off line. Like you say, hindsight is a wonderful thing! But I wish I’d stayed behind him for a bit longer.
What a disappointment for you Chris, but you took it on the chin like a champ. I really don't get this clowny mentality a lot of people in LFM have around trying to win the race in lap 1. I'm not great at WG so I decided to try my first 45 minute race at the Nurburgring instead as I'de heard people drove a lot better in them based on it being a longer race. Got punted off track 3 times in the race and took my first negative SR in 17 races haha!
Ahh yes, you’d expect the 45min races to feature a bit more patience, however I’ve found the Nurburgring to always attract a lot of reckless driving. I’ve seen a lot of wrecks there too. I think it’s a symptom of tracks with fewer genuine overtaking opportunities - people get impatient and take more unnecessary risks. Watkins is the same… only a couple of genuine clean overtaking spots, so people rush in more aggressively when they sniff an opportunity.
I got my license 2 weeks ago and my experience has been…I was literally wrecked (punted in corners, turned into on apex’s, pit maneuvered you name it) in like 6 straight races and said enough of this. It was as bad or if not worse than regular public lobbies, there were people in my races with 1 SA…like you should probably be just banned at that point
The pilot in the second race must be reported... He pushed your car and after another touch and you go out. It's a mass crash and he risk to be banned..
Hahaha cheers. Yeah, when it’s bad, it’s proper bad. I’ve been quite lucky with most of my races this season being decent. But this was not a good way to end!
When will your patience for this game ran out? It's not enternaiting nor enjoyable to watch. You got a proper simrig, you deserve better quality racing.
To be fair, I’ve had a really good run of solid races this season. This one was terrible, for sure, but I feel like the ratio of good to bad has been pretty favourable.
Well that was a shitshow and a half. Not much you could do to be honest. And I thought Mazda's could be bad!! Hopefully see you in an LFM AC race against me next season, seeing as there's only half a dozen points between our elo's at the moment 😁
Yeah I’ve been wanting to do a Mazda race for a few weeks now, but the tracks haven’t appealed to me… I haven’t had much free time to learn new tracks, so I hope a few early rounds next season will be on familiar circuits. Hopefully see you there 😃
@@TheFlying-Scotsman Ahh that’s a shame. It’s another track I’ve never raced (not even in ACC). I did ALMOST decide to learn it for this week, but ended up sticking with Watkins for ACC. Which didn’t turn out so well either 🤣
He did indeed get a ban for it. Generally the levels of aggression in these races were way over the top. The white McLaren in race one, that was a shocking move 🤦🏻♂️
Schnettberg....unfortunately I had the opportunity to meet him on the track, he only has two neurons, the first manages the accelerator, the second the steering....stop!
Yeah, it seemed that way this week. The guy in the Lexus even filed a report against me for causing a mass crash! Reckoned it was my fault for being in the way 🤦🏻♂️
Schnettberg is one of those kiddy stupid sim racers. No respect for anyone else. It was not your fault at all Chris. These type of drivers are why I quit online sim racing. Did Schnettberg even apologise? I doubt it.
Sadly no apology. I was waiting for one, before I decided whether to report it or not. As there was no apology, I reported it and he’s been handed an LFM ban. Shame it had to come down to that, but a lot of races were ruined. Keen to see if anything happens to the white Macca from race one as well… that was a shocker of a move!
That Lexus was a menace! Unlucky, we all have days like this!
Haha we sure do. And I wasn’t too downhearted, because I’ve had so many great races in ACC LFM this season. I was bound to get a bad week sooner or later. Law of averages 🤣 cheers
@@chrisrogerssimracing Watkins is a magnet for sr annihilation, the first lap is almost always madness! But such a great track to race!
Yeah you’re right! The biggest wreck I’ve ever seen was at Watkins. I love racing it too though… I feel pretty quick around there. Trouble is, so was everybody else 🤣
Schnettberg needs his damn license revoked! Are there safety ratings in ACC? Drivers look very aggressive.
So I did report it in the end (I was waiting to see if I got an apology, but didn’t). He did indeed get a 3-day ban for causing the mass crash.

@@TheFlying-Scotsman Ahh that’s a shame. It’s another track I’ve never raced (not even in ACC). I did ALMOST decide to learn it for this week, but ended up sticking with Watkins for ACC. Which didn’t turn out so well either 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracing I'll be putting up a video soon that's going to show how bad they were.
@@TheFlying-ScotsmanNice one, I’ll look forward to seeing the carnage!
How can Schnettberg ask so desperatly to get reported for punts in lap 1? Does he need a pause? LFM has no season races naxt week anyway.
He did indeed get a ban for it. Generally the levels of aggression in these races were way over the top. The white McLaren in race one, that was a shocking move 🤦🏻♂️
@@chrisrogerssimracing He got a well deserved little ban. Thank you!
Schnettberg....unfortunately I had the opportunity to meet him on the track, he only has two neurons, the first manages the accelerator, the second the steering....stop!
Ahh it’s good to know I’m not the only one!
i think the other drivers would be better in wreckfest m8 bad luck
Haha 🤣 yeah very true!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👀👀👀👀👀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

lol this is worse than public lobby... is this how usually these league races go?
Haha thankfully no! Most races this season have been excellent. This one was a complete disaster though!
Bro what is happening I these races? Ignoring Yellow flags, no holding the break while crashing. Wreckfest at its best
Haha yeah it was wild out there!
some people are just overly aggressive and ruin everybody's races for no reason.
Yeah, it seemed that way this week. The guy in the Lexus even filed a report against me for causing a mass crash! Reckoned it was my fault for being in the way 🤦🏻♂️
Nice to see I'm not missing anything in LFM except a complete shit show. Are these the troublemakers on time-out from iRacing or what?? No thanks. 👎
Yeah the aggression levels were dialled up way too high in these ones. Lots of people with hot heads!
Schnettberg is one of those kiddy stupid sim racers. No respect for anyone else. It was not your fault at all Chris. These type of drivers are why I quit online sim racing. Did Schnettberg even apologise? I doubt it.
Sadly no apology. I was waiting for one, before I decided whether to report it or not. As there was no apology, I reported it and he’s been handed an LFM ban. Shame it had to come down to that, but a lot of races were ruined. Keen to see if anything happens to the white Macca from race one as well… that was a shocker of a move!
