I've been on iRacing for about 6 years so this made me think of how much it's changed in that time. I think they've done an amazing job and continue to lead the way for racing sims, IMO. If you never tried VR before, I highly suggest you do now. iRacing is very well optimized for it and the immersion is next-level.
I started iRacing february 2022, stopped in may or june and started again in this month. So much have change even in that time! FF1600 maybe the biggest, feels so good to drive. It's also a bummer there's no more renault 2.0 series :( Used to love to drive with it
Yea that guy is lame. I never saw Dave made any kind of shitty move. Unless you're doing some really shady stuff, maximising your position is the literal point of racing and dave made the podium with his racecraft and this guy didn't so
oh this is the one I've been waiting for! Shame I made a mistake coming onto the last lap and couldn't go attack Sam. This car is truly magnificent when you are around people you can trust. The slipstream here seems to be just right.
Dave this is by far the best racing content I've seen on your channel so far! So close the entire race. Fantastic to watch mate! Job well done with these Formula Fords
Just watched his rant love how he says you should play this for fun. But doesn't allow people to have fun their way hahah. Every clip I see of this guy is him moaning about something or another. Great race dave. Really enjoyed this.
The slower cars have the best racing, IMO. The fast stuff is more fun to practice and hotlap, but for wheel to wheel racing I think too many driver don't have enough respect for the closing speeds. I'm going to have to give these more attention. I'm usually in the F4.
@@angryginger791 Absolutley, I haven't hit the GTs yet, but there is something about these cars and the way they behave, that makes them a ton of fun and people seem to be respecting the racing.
Good close racing there Dave. I am one of those drivers that would rather lift and either stay behind someone or let another car by to ensure I survive. If you crash out of races due to battling at every corner then you aren't really racing. Races develop over time and many factors come into play and you need to be able to adapt on the fly. 👍
Great race! Fun to watch. The only reason you two started to get dropped by the leaders were because you were fighting each other. If he worked with you for a lap you probably would have caught back up.
I was watching fellow racers streams that night here in Australia. It was a real honour to see you participate in so many sessions back to back. Was a bonus! Glad you're sharing your experience here as well of the night.
I found myself remarking “Wow, That’s what good defensive driving looks like” as I watched your battle with Damien. I thought there was an instance of blocking on your part at one point going through the turn 3-4 section, but it wasn’t with malice or intent. You were just aligning the next turn forcing him to the outside. It’s tight there so I wouldn’t have issued a warning if I had my Steward Hat on. With pack racing this is bound to happen. The move of the race? The Orange car up the middle for 3-wide into T1. Which would not have been possible except you all had excellent car control in that lead pack. Very exciting to see that, good job by all 4 of you.
Watched the race back on his stream and wondered what the fuss was about as he seemed reasonable enough. Then the rant that came after it was fantastic 😂
Dave, I love watching you use the h pattern shifter. I remember from a previous video that stated you use the clutch to up-shift and blip the accelerator to downshift. When up-shifting, try an old drag racing method, when accelerating you are at full throttle, when up-shifting, just quickly lift up on the accelerator then go back to full throttle. You don't need to lift fully when up-shifting, just a quick up-down to take the pressures off of the gears - at least in a real car. I have used it on the Ford Formula and the Lotus 49. Very quick and you will not need to use the clutch. I am using the anti-stall clutch setting when doing this method. Keep up the great videos and thanks for all the entertainment and knowledge you are sharing.
Wondered why you put up a rant about another driver, not your usual style and partly the reason why i watch you, you are the simulation equality to the gentleman racers of old. :) Made me move from my apple tv watching session to the computer to find the link to twitch. Now i understand. I watched the twitch. Follow the commentary was very fun indeed and now i do understand your "rant". As always fun watching!
Nice race! Sam is an F'n machine, I was in a Skippy race with him last night, and even when he messes up or gets punted he will still come back and dominate!
Amazing Racing as usual Dave. Your one of the best content creators for Sim racing out there. Your videos is what got me into this crazy hobby we call sim racing and I thank you for it. Cheers keep up the awesome content as usual.
Good hard response to Damien. If you don't wanna race, maybe don't pay that subscription next month. Otherwise great race! Really had me gripped. Thanks mate.
"Race ruined by skippy farmers". Wow, that’s good sportsmanship 😅 Had to try the Formula Ford, and it is just great fun. Still almost a couple of seconds off your pace though. Great videos Dave
After I saw all the races yesterday, I hoped in for some practise at Summit Point after my Snetterton practise and oh boy... the magnificent beast is even more magnificent at Summit Point. I will be spamming races there this weekend once I get Snetterton out of the way. We need this track in the Trophy series. 20 minutes race, open setup. It would be simply amazing!
Heres me thinking this race was amazing to watch, seeing you have fun and a blast. But then when I went to watch old mates twitch stream he really was not enjoying the Race. I guess I am way too trash to understand his comments. Thank you for all the content Dave. Have a great Easter.
People who complain and blame others generally don't learn their lessons and improve. He was beaten fair and square. Complaining won't help. Fantastic race. Looks like mental fun!
Well what can one say, when listening to someone who is so far up his own A hole, even his own chat turned against him at one point, racing is racing, doesn't matter how you race as long as it's clean, fair and on point, I saw nothing in what the lead pair did that wasn't right, drafting in these is where the gains are made, and his driver skills were lacking as he was all over the track because he was over driving the thing. Anaway, enough about him, Well done Dave for not getting sucked into his silliness, and for holding out for the podium place, great content as usual from a great sim racer and content creator, I'm sure we will be blessed with more of this guys antics on track in the next few videos.
I owned a Crossle FF for a while. The Ray is one of the few cars in iracing that feels even remotely realistic. You can actually drive it up to the edge with the feel in the wheel. I wonder if it’s because it’s so new and benefits from the best models?
"Damien" sounds like Pablo. All he does is complain about people racing when it shows him down. Last time I checked, he signed up to a motor race when he clicked on the register button and they went motor racing. Michael Masi would agree.
Really love your videos dave I’m going to be new to i racing end of the month I get my first pc moving from Xbox I’ve been racing acc project cars 2 and forza 7 I cannot wait to get on these cars and tcr
Watching his post race comments, dude’s tears were on full display. I see people like that in poker, too. Crying about losing a pot because you didn’t play the hand their way. 😂
I watched his stream that you linked to and to tell you the truth I had a hard time following his thought process. His argument doesn't make much sense to me. We should be battling every turn, every lap, every time... as long as I get to make the last pass. I agree with you, Dave. Damien or David or Mikhail or whatever he calls himself only likes close, hard racing if he's in front when it's all said and done. Tough luck, MikDamVid. Drive faster if you want to be in front. Furthermore, why does he need to belittle people who drive a certain type of car? I call him a bully. Piss on him.
Awesome racing Dave, just watched the Twitch link. I'm not quite sure what he is saying. He wants to go 4 wide but lifts, then complains other drivers are lifting and not racing. 🤷🏾♂️
I enjoy watching your races. I got back into Iracing last Christmas. Whenever I start a new track I always check your video to see how fast you are so I know what times to shoot for. What brake bias do you usually in with the FF1600? Keep up the great vids.
Yes h pattern dogbox. If you use clutch assists the shifts are slower. I did a video comparing and was surprised how much time is lost with auto blip or clutch
Dave..been a subscriber for a while now..love your videos. Question--where are your car shadowing?..they look like they are just floating about. Did you change something lately??
Hey Dave, do you know how far your eye to screen distance is? I have a very similar rig/monitor setup as you, so I'm curious what others are finding comfortable for them. Happy racing!
They guy was fast but that 3 wide he should have closed the gap to pin the inside person to the right of the track, then pulled out for a better line just before the corner. His race craft was poor and he paid the price for it going for it every corner rather than trying to set you up and getting a run somewhere.
So…. Doesn’t care about iRating… uses a Smurf. Wants to battle… but gets pissy when he’s on the outside and loses out (by turning in too early) Doesn’t like it when people lift… lifts to give you the position (even though you apparently don’t have the pace, Dave) Some good racers excuses there. Hope he’s got plenty of wet wipes. Love the fact there’s apparently some sort of skippy conspiracy too haha.
The price to pay for streaming for Mikhail. Free advertising for him still. Didn't feel like looking it up tho. If true, one who uses an alternate account would have no place to complain about how much risk others take in a race. Come bring the main in that case.
I think Damiem/David is a little bit misunderstood to be fair. From someone that watches his streams, he just wants good racing. Aside from all that, these cars are phenomenal!
What is there to misunderstand about his silly rant though? He's going on about people not racing, when that is actually exactly what they're doing! It was a good battle between them all.
@@davecamyt Haha, people we like can still go on silly rants. 😁Heck, I do it at times as well. Racing gets the adrenaline flowing. Usually in hindsight we, ourselves, come to the realization that whatever we said probably wasn't worth it. I think we've all been there.
He's moaning on his Twitch stream about people not treating the series properly 😂 Sounds to me like he needs to setup some community races. I hate people who think people should treat iracing THEIR way. So many self entitled people on the service. I had problems with a guy in Ferrari Challenge, I was back on the service after some time away and was a bit off the pace but I was enjoying the competition. Me and this guy were having a good battle all race, or so I thought! At the end he was berating me with message after message about how I ruined his race 😂 He told me he flashed me as a courtesy to get out of his way. We finished 3rd and 4th for cripes sake. We loaded in for another race and he messaged publicly on the grid a list of names, including mine, saying "I will flash you to move, if you do not expect a report." Honestly, some people are just incredible.
Dave, I just joined your page. Is there anything you can help me with so I can start streaming on TH-cam as well. I'm one of those old grandpa's that love racing. Have been doing it for 20 plus years on console now I racing Joined a couple months back. Any help would be appreciated. By the way great racing. Love watching your videos.
Can’t wait to get back in iRacing. Been like 6 years but watching these videos gave me the itch. Thanks
A lot has changed in 6 years! What was popular back then? I think it was just before I started 😁
I've been on iRacing for about 6 years so this made me think of how much it's changed in that time. I think they've done an amazing job and continue to lead the way for racing sims, IMO.

"I was on the Podium and you weren't" 🤣🤣🤣
My favourite comment :)
Yea that guy is lame. I never saw Dave made any kind of shitty move. Unless you're doing some really shady stuff, maximising your position is the literal point of racing and dave made the podium with his racecraft and this guy didn't so
oh this is the one I've been waiting for! Shame I made a mistake coming onto the last lap and couldn't go attack Sam.
This car is truly magnificent when you are around people you can trust. The slipstream here seems to be just right.
Great racing mate 👍
Great driving, @Dario Frattini ! Your split on the front stretch was excellent.
Dave this is by far the best racing content I've seen on your channel so far! So close the entire race. Fantastic to watch mate! Job well done with these Formula Fords
Great Race. Best lap time!!! Good job
Thank you mate 😁
Dave, I've been out of iracing for over a year. Your videos are so entertaining and you got me back out on the tracks. Cheers from USA!
Thank you William 😁

Good close racing there Dave.
I am one of those drivers that would rather lift and either stay behind someone or let another car by to ensure I survive.
If you crash out of races due to battling at every corner then you aren't really racing.
Races develop over time and many factors come into play and you need to be able to adapt on the fly.

Watched the race back on his stream and wondered what the fuss was about as he seemed reasonable enough. Then the rant that came after it was fantastic 😂
Well played. Glad you used the H-shifter as well. Top man.
Loved watching this. Kudos to all involved for the close racing.

Correct 😁

Fantastic race. A real nail biter. I was on the edge of my seat just watching this, no idea how you guys in the top splits stay so calm.
Amazing Racing as usual Dave. Your one of the best content creators for Sim racing out there. Your videos is what got me into this crazy hobby we call sim racing and I thank you for it. Cheers keep up the awesome content as usual.
Thank you. I really appreciate the kid word 😁
That was nail biting, well done Dave.
I need a lie down after watching that! Some serious racing on display here. 🎉
Edge of my seat on that one, damn good race Dave.
thank you for the link to his meltdown. very funny stream to watch
Good hard response to Damien. If you don't wanna race, maybe don't pay that subscription next month. Otherwise great race! Really had me gripped. Thanks mate.
Great to see Dario race again. I've raced him regularly like 15 years ago.
Excellent race Dave another great video. Respect to the top 4 drivers there good clean racing !
Wow, good stuff. One of these days....I will, I will check those cars out. Thanks for the content.
"In this case, Dameon, I was on the podium and you weren't"....Savage
Bloody brilliant Dave! Loved it.
MIC DROP!!!! “I got podium, you didn’t!” 🥶🥶🥶
"Race ruined by skippy farmers". Wow, that’s good sportsmanship 😅 Had to try the Formula Ford, and it is just great fun. Still almost a couple of seconds off your pace though. Great videos Dave
Best wishes to you and Jules. I love both your channels.
Wow he contradicts himself so much he is literally arguing with himself.
Great race Dave, make sure to beat him again 😊
The callout voice is so calm 😂😂
Also had some killer races last night including my first last to first I've ever done on iRacing.
haha even his own chat was ripping into him, great racing Daveo!
my fav part was the drama at the end great video david
"Dave doesn't have the pace to keep up with these guys"... uh right, that's the reason why you finished ahead of him 😅
And Dave had the fastest lap of the race. What a douche.
And yet Dave is following this guy and jumping off the gas to not run them over....Dave in racing is often far faster than Dave qualifying I find.....
Yep, I'm so bad at qual 😞
After I saw all the races yesterday, I hoped in for some practise at Summit Point after my Snetterton practise and oh boy... the magnificent beast is even more magnificent at Summit Point.

What a race - I was tense just watching it!
1 year late but I think this is the best race I've seen in a while.
hey @dave Cam your shifter is on the wrong side LOL

T5 is always so annoying on first lap cause cold tyres (and probably cold brakes?) and it's so easy to go long if you don't be carefull
I drove FVee at Summit Point Point in 1982...
Damien is a man baby 😂 the racing was absolutely great! He’s always crying about something.
Awesome racing Dave, just watched the Twitch link. I'm not quite sure what he is saying. He wants to go 4 wide but lifts, then complains other drivers are lifting and not racing. 🤷🏾♂️
Oh man I love Spicy Davey!!!
I enjoy watching your races.
I got back into Iracing last Christmas. Whenever I start a new track I always check your video to see how fast you are so I know what times to shoot for.
What brake bias do you usually in with the FF1600?
Keep up the great vids.
53.5 for turn 1, 55.5 everywhere else 👍
You can see the value in the bottom left of my relative box 😁
Amazing battle, hard race💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
😂😂😭😭😂😂😭😭 This got the chat fired up ✌
Great driving!
this car is the reason I've kept iracing
Are they H pattern cars? I'm so used to most things being sequential now. Do you think there's a speed advantage with the 1600 using the 3rd pedal?
Yes h pattern dogbox. If you use clutch assists the shifts are slower. I did a video comparing and was surprised how much time is lost with auto blip or clutch
@@davecamyt damn, that's a bummer. Maybe I need to spring for at least the 3rd pedal.
I agree with you, He was abit hypocrital everyone wants to race there own way. He just hates the people who only race for rating
I was stressed watching this race. Lol
Good race , Looks a fun car do you need a shifter or can you use paddle shift
Yes you can use paddles 👍
@@davecamyt Thank you Dave
That was great!
Dave..been a subscriber for a while now..love your videos. Question--where are your car shadowing?..they look like they are just floating about. Did you change something lately??

yes dave great race great video , podum!!!
Won 2 races on this last night 🎉🎉🎉
LMAO. Sounds like he's crying because the P1 and 2 are trying to pull away? Things that make you go "hmmmmm"
Some of his rant confuses me when ya consider the title of his stream .
I thought it looked like a great race
Good race chops 😂
Pretty intense in these cars
They guy was fast but that 3 wide he should have closed the gap to pin the inside person to the right of the track, then pulled out for a better line just before the corner.
His race craft was poor and he paid the price for it going for it every corner rather than trying to set you up and getting a run somewhere.

He should go race in ams2 against the ai with them on max aggression they attack every corner even in qualifying
Great race ... ;)
That was just good hard racing by all...No one did anything wrong .... Someone just didn't want to get beat - which is understandable
