- I’ve only gone and put it on pole position! This is new territory for me… I’ve never had a pole position in Low Fuel Motorsport or Assetto Corsa Competizione before.
And do you know what else I’ve never done? I’ve NEVER won a race. I’ve come close, very close… but I’ve never taken the chequered flag in an ACC LFM race.
Is today the day, or will I bottle it yet again? Let’s get on track for this GO Setups GT3 Sprint race at Oulton Park, and find out…

Get in Chris!! What a fantastic drive to hold off Atucha and take the win. So easy to buckle under the pressure at Oulton Park. Have yourself a beer to celebrate!
Ahh mate, thank you so much. I most certainly will… although I reckon I might need to make it a brandy after that one 🤣
Spoiler Alert 😂 now I know he wins before watching the video
@@scbsimracingcommunity390Thats why I don't look at the comments until after I watched it 😂
Congrats, Chris!
Give yourself some credit, you ran a fantastic race here. I think having that #2 driver chase you down actually helped keep you focused. And it worked! Look how you two dropped everyone else way behind. Nicely done!!
Thank you, and yeah I think you’re right. I was really aware about the potential to make a mistake in those final couple of laps, after he’d dropped back. It’s easily done, a careless mistake when your guard drops. He definitely kept me on my toes!
First Norris, now Rogers! There are no bottle jobs, it's just luck and stress management. You'll surely get more Mr R
David, thank you mate, that’s very kind of you. Haha yeah, it didn’t take Lando quite as many races as it did for me! But not far off! Cheers 🍻
absolutely brilliant chris. couldn't be happier for you. i bet you are still on cloud 9 😀. these moments don't come around often but when they do they feel unbelievably wonderful (so i'm told 😆)
Thank you Hal, yeah absolutely buzzing! Honestly I thought I’d never get a win in ACC, so this one felt extra special!
🏁🏁🏁🏁 congrats Chris you totally deserve that my friend hopefully a start of more to come 😀😀😀
Thank you mate! Let’s just hope the next one doesn’t take another 157 races to come 🏁
Noice! Congrats dude, always nice to get the win, the first one is a bit more special though. 👍👍❤️
Yeah definitely! Particularly as I never thought it was ever going to come!
What a fabulous race. That must be tense all this pressure. I'm surely not that fast and under pressure surely also not. Cheers I celebrate you 🎉🎉. Commentary as always on point. Loved it ❤
Ahh thank you mate, glad you enjoyed it and glad I could share the stress with everyone! Cheers
Well played Chris. Nice to get the first one out the way. Holding onto P1 when not used to leading a race is definite squeaky bum material!
Yeah big time! A great learning experience, and hopefully will give me the confidence of knowing I can do it, should the opportunity arise again!
Congratulations Chris, awesome and respectfull battle between you and Atucha! Well done lad, good stuff.
Yeah, I couldn’t have picked a better opponent to battle with. He was a little quicker, but not once did he attempt a divebomb or anything unfair. Not even any headlight flashing! So many other drivers would have got impatient and tried something reckless. But he was brilliant ❤️
Hats off - A milestone reached after a long journey. Well done.
Thank you so much, it’s certainly felt like a long journey… with lots of ups and downs! Cheers
Absolutely nerve-wracking, I hate being in front genius idea having the tele cam from his prospective.
Loved it. 😂👍👏💯
Thank you Tony, yeah I’m always much happier doing the chasing, rather than being chased. Often, I’ll let someone past if they put me under too much pressure as I know I’ll be less likely to crash. But I couldn’t really give away the lead, so had to grit my teeth and give it everything 😬
Recently found your channel Chris and my god I'm hooked. Congrats on your first win! Many more to come
Excellent, welcome to the channel! Glad you’re enjoying the videos… I wish I could say they all feature fights for the win, but this one is very much a one-off 🤣 Cheers
Yes Yes Yes well done Chris super racing kept him at bay all race congrats more to come I believe
Thank you! I hope so, but I’d prefer it if they were a bit less stressful than this one! Cheers mate
HELL YES BROTHER 🏁 Such an awesome stint. OK Chris now relax, take a breath and pound a beer because you deserve this WIN man 👍 Outstanding video bro as always and CONGRATULATIONS on the win.
Thank you mate, yeah I definitely need something strong after this race! Felt so good to finally see that chequered flag 🏁
DUUUUDE!!!! Way to go - Congrats!!!! Great camera view from the P2 hood, made the racing that more exciting and intense 😅🤙 - enjoy your celebration, you'll always remember your 1st !!!
Thank you! Yeah I wanted to try and convey how close it felt, and the hood cam really helped! Cheers, thanks for watching 😃
Get in there Chris! That’s P1 mate! 👊🏼
Something I never thought I’d hear! Thank you mate
@@chrisrogerssimracing First Lando, now you … It’s like a weekly thing in Britain now 😄
Only come across your videos last week your commentary and videos r amazing, keep it up mate u will become big soon. Nice win also, only been racing lfm a few weeks now its on a different level.
Hey Andy, welcome to the channel mate! Glad you’re enjoying the videos so far. I’d love to say they’re all featuring fights for the win, but this was very much a one-off 🤣 cheers, good luck on LFM!
@@chrisrogerssimracing I know I've said I've only come across your videos for a week, but I've seen about 15/20 of them already 😂😂😂
Great drive, well done. Serious congratz on not buckling, I know I would have with that pressure. I got my first win on LFM last week, though only the Mazda's on AC, nothing as serious as your GT3's on ACC. First of many for you, I'm sure.
Brilliant, congratulations on your first LFM win too… not an easy class to win in, the Mazdas on AC. Lots of mega quick drivers in there! Hopefully the first of many, for both of us!
great driving. well done staying composed. I know how you feel, although never had to endure that much pressure for a win, fortunately. enjoy it and hope next one is just around the corner. 😊
Thank you mate. Yeah, collapsing under pressure is something I’ve always struggled with. This was the first time I managed to avoid doing it, and it couldn’t have come at a better time!
Cracking drive Mr Rogers. finally.... Well done mate..🏁🏁🏆🏆
Thank you Stu! They don’t come around very often, so I’ve got to make the most of one when it does arrive! Cheers 🍻
Congrats mate, I know the feeling to well and it’s awesome to get that first win, I’ve done 357 starts and achieved 9 wins so your stats aren’t all that bad at all mate, very well done and may see you on track one day 👍
Nice one, thanks mate, yeah it was a pretty sweet feeling! Hopefully a few more will come along soon! Cheers, and yeah keep an eye out for me on the grid, would be good!
Well done Chris, thoroughly deserved.
Thank you so much Jim, and for all the support along the way!
Congrats Chris! Well deserved. 👏 🍻
Thank you mate, appreciate it. Cheers for watching, as always 😃
The best commentary ever! 👌😉 congrats on your first win! 💪🥳
Thank you! I was over the moon… never expected to get it, and felt sure I was going to fall apart under pressure!
p2 didn't hand it to you. You earned it.
Thank you James, yeah I’ve never felt so much pressure. I’m still shocked I didn’t fall apart. Cheers
Get in there chris!! I was so nervous watching 😅
Excellent! I wanted to try and share the stress and tension, so I’m pleased to hear it worked! Thank you mate.
Brilliant drive. I completely bottled it the first time I had pole, which was also at Oulton. You took that first corner like a pro - way better than I did when I was on pole earlier this week. That near off on the approach to island bend was actually planned, wasn't it? You were using ALL of the track and I think you gained a bit of time over P2. But, y'know, adding a bit of suspense by making out it was a mistake when it was in fact beautifully executed. I think I have you worked out. 😉
Onwards and upwards from here.
Haha! Well I was favouring the inside entry into the hairpin, just to discourage the guy from trying a lunge. However that was a bit too close for comfort with the grass! In one of the races I did the other day (before the one with you) I got two tyres on the grass and couldn’t get off… ended up ploughing into the tyre stack and it was race over. So definitely had a panic when I thought I might do it again 🤣 but yeah, well pleased with how it went. The race practice the other day certainly helped.
7:06 man that got me up of the chair screaming yes yes at the screen. Go go Chris 😍
Similar scenes in my Playseat Challenge at the time 🤣
Excellent drive Chris. Many congratulations. Hopefully this will give you the confidence to push ahead and get a few more.
Thank you mate. Well it’s taken me 157 attempts to get there… hopefully it won’t be such a long wait for the next one!
Thumbs up for your win. I Goy mine in LMU last week. Incredible feeling!
Brilliant! Many congratulations on yours too. The first of many, I hope. For both of us!
Congrats boss🥳🏁
Thank you mate! Cheers for watching 😃
Get in the chris, fecking amazing. Great show❤
Thank you James, yeah it was a nerve-wracking 25 minutes, for sure!
THIS is why we love ACC! Great driving mate, enjoy the W!
Thank you Dan, yeah 100%. It’s the type of sim race you always hope for. Huge respect to the guy behind too… he didn’t once try anything dangerous. Not even any headlight flashing!
@@chrisrogerssimracing A good racer can judge exactly when and where they're capable of passing, and more importantly, if the pass will actually stick! If you don't think it will stick then it's not worth the risk. Some racers never learn this.
Amazing result. Brilliant driving. That was a huge amount of pressure! I did think there was a good chance the driver in second would make more mistakes than you, but over 12 laps of having them right on your bumper must have been terrifying.
Ahh mate, it was incredibly intense! I’m just so grateful he was such a clean and fair racer. So many others would have got impatient and tried to divebomb. At the very least, most other people would have been flashing headlights at me constantly. But Atucha didn’t do any of that… just fought hard but fair. Loved it!
Well done Chris, greatly deserved!
Thank you mate, cheers 🍻
Well done Chris, brilliant race....a fine example of how not to spill your beer in a bar fight, kept your cool, well deserved win.
Well done Chris, brilliant drive. And at my local circuit!
Well it’s now officially my favourite circuit 🤣 always wanted to go and watch British Superbikes there, so maybe I’ll make an extra effort now. Visit the scene of my triumph!
I am over the moon for you! Fantastic result, Chris! Absolutely blown away, well done. 👏 🎊
Thank you so much Andy! Who knows when the next one will come, so I’ll certainly be enjoying this one for a while!
Hes only went and done it!! Lets Go!
Thank you Jerry! I never thought I’d get to experience the sweet taste of victory in ACC. But it tastes good! 🍺
Chuffed for you mate what a great feeling, credit to the guy behind aswell for not doing anything daft I bet you were buzzing after this well done, been a long journey really glad you stuck with ACC there is definitely something different about winning a race on this Sim compared to others don't know what it is but its different.
Yeah I absolutely agree with you there. I’ve had wins in iRacing and RaceRoom, but definitely felt a bigger sense of achievement with this ACC one. I think it’s because it’s such a specialist sim, with so many fast drivers in it. Makes the win that much harder to come by. I was buzzing after this one… more than any other race I’ve ever done!
Congratulations! Great racing from the two of you.
Yeah huge respect to Ariel, he kept it so clean and fair. No divebombs or headlight flashing!
Amazing video. Thoroughly enjoying. Great drama and congrats on your first LFM win! 🎉
Thank you! I’m glad I could share the drama and tension with everyone. Cheers 🍻
YESSSSS!!!!!! Finally had a chance to watch you race and win. Love your channel, the smooth driving and the commentary 👍🏾
Thank you! It was a long wait. Glad you enjoy the content, and thanks for tuning in 😃
Congratulations Chris; a well deserved win (finally), made all the more satisfying I bet by having resisted all that pressure from behind for so long.
Thank you Richard! Yeah it was a very sweet moment, given how I nearly ALWAYS crack under pressure. It was a lovely feeling to be able to hold firm for once!
Wow! What a race! Nice job not failing under pressure 👏🏼👏🏼 Just came across this channel and I gotta say, I like this style of videos. Almost like I’m watching a real broadcasted race, had me on the edge of my seat 😂 Got yourself a new sub 👍🏼
Excellent, welcome to the channel! That’s exactly the style of video I’m aiming for, so it’s good to hear you’re enjoying them. Thank you mate 😃
Well done, deserved.
Thank you Alan, and cheers for watching 😃
🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳 Great win, Chris!!! What a nail-biter!!!
Thank you Eric! After starting on the front row in the iRacing video and dropping back fast, I tried so hard to avoid doing the same here. To go from never having led a race, to leading one from lights to flag, it was a very special moment!
You beauty!!!Good stuff fella and at the mighty Oulton my local track. Great stuff. 👏
It will have a special place in my heart from now on! Always wanted to go and watch British Superbikes there… maybe I’ll have to make the effort when it’s back there in September, and visit the scene of my triumph!
Well done Chris. Great to see your racing and TH-cam progress
Thank you Gavin! I still can’t quite believe how both have come on so far. From just trying it as a little hobby to relieve the boredom during the lockdowns. It still blows my mind to think how many people enjoy watching my races. Cheers 🍻
Thats awesome, been waiting for this for a while, congrats Chris 🏆
Yeah a looooooong wait! Thank you 😃
Great job, Chris!! But remember, it will only take one race for all the elation to come crashing back down! LOL!!
Hahaha yes, a very wise reminder! I thought it might be the case with this one, given how I went from being ‘race winner’ to ‘guy with advertising board stuck on his windscreen’ in the space of about 30 seconds 🤣
Congratulations Chris, that was.....a, FANTASTIC race!!!!!
Really FANTASTIC👏 👏 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Yeah, I wondered if this day would ever come… and I’m still a little amazed that it did!
@@chrisrogerssimracing
You have worked hard for it Chris, its about time you had a lite luck, as in not being taken out.
G GEEEEE'S Nice one Chris. Glad to see this happen 👏👏
Ahh thank you very much mate, you and me both! 😃
Hi Chris, good stuff you deserved the win, you actually had him under pressure! that’s why he went off. Very happy for you.
Thank you Philip! Yeah, sometimes it’s easy to think that you’re the one under all the pressure, when actually the person behind is equally under pressure trying to keep up with you. So it definitely works both ways. Cheers!
Well done Chris. Well deserved 👏. Now you have your first under your belt more will come. 👍
Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 157 races to get the next one! Cheers Jason
Congrats bud!! Now take that, put it in the bank, and use it to build confidence. I think some of your "bottling"/unluckiness is due to you not believing in yourself. You are a safe, fair, and solid sim racer, and I'd take that over out-of-control speed any day. Keep banging away my man.
Thank you Brent, that’s very kind of you to say. And absolutely spot on too… lack of confidence has always been a big problem for me. But now I know I CAN do it!
Fantastic, well deserved, from bricking it into the 1st corner to crossing the line 1st, its the best feeling. Next win soon, I bet!
Thank you mate. Yeah the “bricking it” part lasted up to around lap 13 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracing no doubt!!
A well deserved race win Chris and what a track to do it at to!
Thank you Mike! Definitely a great track for it. The narrow race track certainly helped me defend when I needed to as well. Cheers!
Champion! Very nice driving Chris, well deserved win :)
Thank you Roz! Was definitely buzzing after this one!
Congratulations Chris on winning this race!
Cheers Joe, thank you mate!
Get in man! Well done. Fantastic job, Oulton is deceptively tricky in a high speed GT3 car. Great, great driving
Thank you Joe, in my earlier days I used to hate this track and avoid it wherever possible! But more recently I’ve had some cracking races here, and this one might just promote Oulton into ‘favourite circuit’ contention 🤣
@chrisrogerssimracing I do like Oulton but I struggle in big cars like GTs around there. It's narrow and bumpy and will always be a Touring Car track for me. Sadly in sims we can't get our elbows out quite like the BTCC though 😂
@@ThomasRaceEngineering Haha, well on days like today, I’m glad we can’t… reckon a bit of elbowing in this race would have finished me off for good 🤣
Awesome win mate! Leading in a close fight is so mentally taxing and you had to do it flag to flag - congrats!
Thank you! Yeah, from never having led a race at all, to having to do it flag to flag… definitely a very tough learning curve! Haha. Cheers mate
Fantastic race Chris, nerves well held! You must be buzzing still from that, I know I would be 👍🏻
Oh yes, big time! Felt sure I was going to slip up at some point. Was so good to get across the line!
@@chrisrogerssimracing honestly well done man, I won my first Manufacturer Cup race this week on GT7, my heart was pounding so hard so I kind of know how you felt (though ACC is a completely different beast I know!)
Excellent. Good job. Nice, consistent job. Thanks for the content.
My pleasure, thank YOU for watching 😃
Congrats Chris!, I'm so happy for you. Well done.
Thank you mate, really appreciate that, and thanks for all the support 😃
Wow look at these comments, just shows how much we all route for you. I bottle it all the time so sympathise but occasionally i win, like you did. Kin fantastic man.
Ahh Paul, it’s unbelievable. I still can’t get my head around the fact that so many people enjoy tuning in and feel part of the journey with me. It’s truly humbling. Thank you mate 😃
Top job Chris... At long last... It's a great feeling isn't it... ??!!!
It was a very sweet feeling, I’ve got to admit! Although a very stressful 20 minutes or so to get there!
Woop Woop go Chris been a long time coming, but well driven 👏
Thank you mate! Who knows how long the wait will be for the next one 🤣 hopefully not another 157 races!
@@chrisrogerssimracing podium all the time now that you've broken your duck.
🎉🏆 congratulations Chris.
Well done.
Thank you mate, and for all the support. Cheers
when it falls into place it all falls it place...great drive sir and a well deserved victory
Thank you Nij, it’s a day I never thought was going to come!
Get in Chris, excellent work. Fully deserved
Thanks Matt! Now the footie season is over, I clearly needed something else to stress me out instead 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracing enjoy that time off while it lasts!
you make me love sim racing all over again. Keep doing it
Wonderful, there’s no higher compliment than that! I love it when I hear that my videos have given someone else the enthusiasm to race. Thank you 😃
Excellent work Chris, well deserved! 🎉🎉
Thank you mate! What a joy (and a relief!) 🤣🏁
@@chrisrogerssimracing I got my first win in beginners Radicals on RF2 the other day, very similar to your race actually, loads of pressure for ages then #2 made a mistake and gap opened up. Just goes to show, speed is important but consistency and staying out of trouble wins races!
Congratulations big W🎉
Thank you mate, definitely one of my (very few) finest moments!
Congratulations, Chris! Wow, what a riveting race.
Thank you Dave, it was a mixture of celebration and relief to have finally done it!
Cant belive it. You did it Chris. Congrats mate 🎉💐🎊🎉💐🎊🎉💐🎊
Not very often I can award a 🥇 to myself!
@@chrisrogerssimracing you've earned it for sure
Well done that was well deserved it was always in the making
Well in Chris. Let's goooo!
Thank you mate! Buzzing!
Well done mate,that was a brilliant performance
Thank you Kev!
Well deserved win
Well done! Now start having the self belief that you can do it. Consistency was key! Congrats
Yeah definitely, I’m hoping this will be a big confidence boost, if I find myself fighting for the lead again. Cheers
Congratulations Chris!
Thank you Kevin!

Great drive Chris..... Get in there
Thank you very much! It’s been a long ride to get there!
First Pole and first win. Congratulations and well deserved.
Thank you so much mate, it was very unexpected because I honestly thought I’d never get a win in ACC! Cheers
How you doing mate!?
@@velocitybraker991Just about got my voice back 🤣
@@velocitybraker991 Hi Victor. It's been a while my old friend. Things have been better but getting by. I've been taking a break from sim racing recently but starting to feel the itch to get back in the rig so i may be racing again soon. Hope you are well mate. 😄
So pleased. Even more convinced now I’d take consistency over speed.
Absolutely. Consistency is definitely what won it for me here. Well, and the front row start too. I knew my race pace wouldn’t be the quickest. It was a fluke lap in qualifying… no idea how I went that quick, it was 0.4 quicker than any other lap I did. My ‘normal’ time would have put me down in P5 or P6. But keeping it smooth and steady all race long got the job done 😃 cheers Gavin
Congrats on your first win🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Tony, might be a while before the next one comes, so I need to milk this one for all it’s worth!
Well done mate, well deserved 👌🏻
Thank you Pete, appreciate that mate. Cheers for watching
Fantastic well done. 2 years worth the wait
Yeah! Lots of ups and downs in that time! Heck of a ride.
