- I’ve brought you some crazy races on this channel over the years, and today’s one is right up there with any of them!
I’m continuing my Assetto Corsa Low Fuel Motorsport journey, and it’s a race of firsts for CR Sim Racing. It’s my first ever race in an LMP3, and it’s my first ever ranked race at Le Mans.
Despite my inexperience with this combo, I’ve qualified reasonably well and I’ll be starting from P12 out of 28 on the grid. But the Le Mans 24H circuit is a challenge in itself - survival is the main aim, but I’d like to challenge for a top 10. Strap yourselves in, things are gonna get pretty rough….

Honestly one of the most entertaining races I've seen on TH-cam! That arrow of cars charging you at the straight was a Hollywood moment!
You are a great ambassador for sim racing the complete package , well done m8t. 👏
Ahh thank you Tony, very kind of you, as always 😃
Your commentary reminds me of the late, great, Murray Walker (but with less mistakes 😉), absolutely brilliant!
I was on the MX5 server at 6am this morning and it was almost as bonkers as this, just at a slower pace 😂
Ahh thank you mate, there’s no greater compliment than that! Although if you ask my European viewers, they’d probably say there are plenty of mistakes, given how disastrously I pronounce foreign names 🤣 Good to hear there was equally enjoyable carnage in the Mazdas!
Fantastic Chris, glad you enjoyed yourself as much as I did watching. And what a great result! Chuffed for you :)
Thank you Andy, cheers mate 😃
What a race, Chris! Sometimes it is better to wait for an opportunity than to force the situation. Congrats.
Thank you mate, yeah couldn’t agree more! Hadn’t really practiced enough to have confidence in finding the right balance between hard braking and locking up, so opted for the cautious approach!
Amazing video! You're doing it right, keep it up! You got yourself a new subscriber.
Ahh that’s very kind of you to say, thank you. And welcome to the channel!
😂 that was hilarious and also congrats on that finish 🎉
Manuel Beltran? Did you encounter the famous Spanish pro cyclist from the noughties? 😆 Awesome video btw. This game looks so good on the TV cam. Not so much the lacking cockpit details, but doesn't matter too much.
Haha it’s possible! However, I did definitely encounter the Prince of Sweden in my recent ACC race at Imola 🤣 As usual, I was completely oblivious to it at the time.
Great commentary, as ever, Chris, but that chaos doesn't encourage me to try that series 😅
Haha, no, it’s probably not the best advert for clean racing! Guessing there’s a lot of first-timer racers trying these AC combos, on a very long lap to learn. By all accounts, most races have been like this one!
Great video Chris, always enjoy the commentary too, keep em coming 🙂👍🏼
Thank you mate! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Five wide. WOW.
Nice! I had a similar experience in this combo yesterday. I started 15, ended up 5th, and only made 1 legit overtake all race. Just sat back and watched the carnage unfold. Lots of fun though. I never drive LMP cars either, but they feel outstanding in AC ( as most cars do). I had a blast. If you can clean up a few of your little mistakes, there are positions to be had for sure. Fun watching Chris. Thanks for the upload. :)
Yeah, I enjoyed the car far more than I expected to. I’m now really keen to give it another try over the weekend, if I can get time. Reckon I might be a bit smoother if I tried it a second time. So many people were making mistakes in this one, I felt left out so threw in a few of my own 😉
😄@@chrisrogerssimracing
Mate, this was an insane race for me as well. I was in the same race as you and while trying to avoid the chaos at Turn 1, my tablet (aka my wheel) disconnected and I went round and straight into a wall with major wing damage. So I pitted and after setting consistent laptimes, I went from P26 to P13 as shown at the end result and alos got my first Iron & Bronze license as well to top it off. Now I know to never give up! Btw appreciate your upload speeds and videos, always love them.
Haha oh mate, that T1 carnage is literally the WORST possible time to have a disconnect issue 🤣 well done for sticking with it though, even after the pit stop. P13 is a great finish! I had pretty much settled for finishing around P13 as well, until the entire pack in front wiped each other out! Crazy, crazy race. Hope to see you on the grid again soon!
Definity will, Daytona next week should be fun as well. One small tip, in these LMP3 cars you can brake wayyy... later than you think even with lock-ups. My throttle and brakes are buttons so I lock up on all braking points on the track yet my temps, pressures and tire wear were fine. Need to use the in future races as well.@@chrisrogerssimracing
@@itsaditya_09 That’s good to know. Seeing how many people in front of me were locking up, I did guess I could probably push a bit harder. I guess lock-ups are fine as long as you’re going in a straight line! A couple of times, I locked up while trying to turn… and ended up going straight on 😂
So fun listen to you, I have seen the race until the end.
Thank you my friend, I am pleased you enjoy watching!
this is the most enjoyable sim racing channel on YT! thanks!
Ahh that’s very kind of you to say, thank you!
That was some real carnage in that one Chris, good job making it through!
There were several points in this race where I wasn’t expecting to finish! Think I must have been the smallest tap away from getting a meatball flag, the amount of times there was contact. Crazy, crazy race
Man the Mazda races have been great but every lmp3 race I’ve tried so far has been utter chaos 😂😂
Yeah! I’ve only done this one race, but everybody who has commented said their Le Mans race was exactly the same 😂
@@chrisrogerssimracing it was absolute madness 😂
This week is Daytona so prayers will be needed lol
And breathe ..... Five cars into one chicane, intense racing and very entertaining. Thanks for posting. 🙂
Never a dull moment, eh! Sheer madness, this one 🤣
AC & LFM is definitely going to be popular Chris, but the driving standards/etiquette concern me 😁. Great race from you though.
Thanks! Yeah the standards weren’t great in this one. I’m guessing it’s down to a lot of new players, combined with a very long lap that takes more time to learn. Hopefully we’ll see standards improve 🤞
Crazy amount of incident points for people in this... Getting a licence looks like a challenge
Haha yeah, and the big downside… safety rating counts forwards your ACC licence too. So in this race alone, I lost enough SR to send me back into the rookies on ACC 🤣
Surprised your car made it across the finish line 😅
Haha yeah tell me about it! Most of my bodywork was probably hanging off by the end 🤣
You were up early this morning. I nip to McDonald's for a wakey wakey cappucino, sit in the car to have it, turn on TH-cam and you'd just uploaded a video 3 minutes ago. That was a pretty big field you had to navigate, so an excellent result in the end. That was all down to tactical brilliance. Let everyone kill themselves and each other while avoiding trouble yourself. Same tactic I use in Fortnite. This race was like a Battle Royale.
Yeah, did the race yesterday but wanted to get the video done before starting work. I was a little bit loose as well in this one, but yeah mostly decided to hang back when I sensed danger, and it paid off. Thankfully my own mistakes were relatively minor compared to a lot of the others! Cracking race though, really enjoyed it.
Great race and even better commentary. New subscriber here! 👏
Ahhh Kenneth, thank you mate, and welcome to the channel!
What a race 😂
5 wide that’s crazy. Well done.
Thanks, yeah I thought I’d seen it all in sim racing, until that arrow formation of cars started hunting me down!
Wow, what a crash fest that was! Congrats on ur finish Chris! Thanks for sharing w us!
My pleasure Walt! It sure was chaos out there!
carnage! but a cool head equals a good finish - nice work and great video 👍
Thanks Kaz, yeah it was complete madness!
You had me at 5 wide !
Haha that was insane, wasn’t it. I just saw that arrow of cars getting bigger and bigger in my mirror 🤣
Another fun watch. Thanks for sharing Chris
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
Carnage d'Arnage 🤣
Well if you think first chicane at Monza is bad - welcome to LeMans - rolling start would definitely help here - out of 5 races i did so far in 4 cases I've got some damage there, and in 3 cases i had to stop for repair after first lap just because some people will send it anytime anywhere :( in the remaining race i just cut the chicane when i saw what is happening and made it to P5...
Anyway my biggest enemy atm is the righthander before the straight, it's pretty easy to hit the inner sausage, which will send you right onto the sausages on the left and pretty much into the wall (at start they've used different track mod, but this one is better, more challenging and definitely more fun)
Good to know it wasn’t just my split that was absolute mayhem. I know exactly the corner you mean… I found that one really tricky as well, and the shape of the cockpit doesn’t help… you have a big blind spot to the right, which makes it very difficult to find the apex accurately.
@@chrisrogerssimracing well if the side of the cockpit wasn't there, you wouldn't see the apex over the right front wheel cover anyway :) in that corner the apex is just hidden behind the horizon, so you have to guess where it is :)
I hear you can over ride the audio mod used for the car, I think the current mods is a bit lower quality. Nonetheless awesome video! Been trying to get into a race but all the splits are full for hours ahead. They need more servers!
Yeah I’ve heard a lot of people question the sound. Must admit I didn’t pay too much attention to it… I’ve never driven an LMP3 before, so I had nothing to compare it to. Crazy how quickly the splits are filling up though… I registered a good hour in advance for this one, and it was pretty full then.
What a race!!!!!
Thank you! Because it’s such a long lap, I thought it was going to be pretty spread out and quiet… how wrong I was!
I've a friend at work who drives LMP2's as Gold driver in real life. Certainly more action in that race than he ever sees I'm sure 😂 Great finish though, and really unlucky on that last chicance, but 7th place was still epic!
I think if his races were like this one, he’d be retiring immediately! Cheers Rob, hope all is well with you mate
Another awesome race! Really makes me want to boot up AC and give it a try!
I’d certainly recommend it! The driving standards have been a bit, erm, questionable in this combo! But despite the danger, it’s still a lot of fun to race
Great race and commentary!
Thank you mate! Cheers for watching 😃
Havent jumped into a race yet, just practice sessions to test the cars and tracks. I fully respect how hard it is to create a fully functional car mod, but this LMP3 prototype mod being used for these races is very rough around the edges. The physics are a bit off, the cockpit is a bit rough and it sounds absolutely terrible (You can hear the sound samples looping every 2-3 seconds), and this put me off driving it entirely. I think they need to find some better options.
The MX5s however, given they're a Kunos stock car, sound and feel fantastic. I think I like them better than the MX5s in iRacing. Keen to jump into a race soon.
That’s interesting. Never having driven an LMP3 in any sim before, I’ve got nothing to compare it to. One thing’s for sure though, there is no shortage of choice with AC, so it’ll be good to see which combos they choose next 😃
The sound is indeed awful, tried practice it yeterday but couldn't endure it, had to close the whole game. Plus the textures are awfuly bad as well, don't know why they decided to go with this mod.
@@chrisrogerssimracing Most definitely, AC is a whole new realm of possibilties to explore
@@s3nTer Yea, it's an odd choice, but I'm sure they'll take the feedback on board given this is an alpha and look for better options.
Man that unsafe renoin at the end has to has to lead to a penalty
I made a bet with self that Esteve was going to end up in a tangle at some point...
What a chaotic race! 😂
Hahaha I don’t think your money was ever at risk with that bet 🤣
Exciting race Chris. Conga-Rats
Thank you Michael!
LFM on AC really starting with a bang! I gotta give it a try
Definitely try it! It’s got such huge potential if this early buzz and interest is maintained 🤞
put this damn guy in a commentary booth someone
Haha ahh thank you mate. Not sure the world is ready for my shouting yet 🤣
Top stuff 5 wide never seen the like ever
Yeah, I thought I’d seen it all in sim racing!
Im almost 80 SA on acc for LFM - will give you a shout when i get there - when do you usualy race? will be good to jump on with you for a race
Nice one Stu. For ACC, I usually aim for Mondays or Tuesdays, most often the 4.15pm or 5.15pm races, or sometimes the lunchtime one. Yeah just give me a shout on Discord when you’re racing 👍
Just don't get it. Sometimes I get absolutely no notification. But have no fear Chris I'm here 😂
Haha don’t worry my man! Have you checked your notification settings? Maybe they’ve been updated. I took nearly a month off videos a few weeks ago, maybe TH-cam thought I was gone for good 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracingit looks okay, i got this right away. ill just have to keep an eye out :D
Is there no license requirement for AC like we had to do on LFM for ACC?
Good question. I’m not sure. I certainly didn’t have to do any time trials or anything in AC, so if you’ve already done the ACC one, you’re clear to race. I don’t know whether new drivers will still need to do the ACC licence test, to race on AC or rf2 though?
Great race. Congratulation for your 6th position.
But why do they choose this lmp3, the cockpit looks ugly. (outside looks great.)
There is so much great looking protos in assetto corsa.
Haha yes! It was my first experience of driving an LMP3, and I really struggled with the cockpit view! Great fun to drive, but not the prettiest view from the inside. And I struggled with having so many extra blind spots… particularly finding apexes when turning right!
Where can i download this lmp3 mod? :0
There’s a link to it on the Low Fuel Motorsport website mate, just go to the AC section and choose the LMP3 series… there’s a list of required download links there 👍
Which version of Le Mans is this?
I think you get too nervous Chris, your racing is good but you always give up your positions out of fear, you need to relax" have a coffee before the race and be aggressive!👈
Oh yeah, I was very nervous in this one! Had no confidence at all in my braking… I hadn’t been able to find the sweet spot between heavy braking and locking up. So when it came to being two-wide or more, I figured it was safest to surrender 🤣 I feel I may be a bit more competitive if I get chance to try this one a second time… I’m hoping to over the weekend 🤞 Cheers!
@@chrisrogerssimracing I understand completely, but the majority of times you race safe you still get taken out"🤣, so the odds are, if you race more positive you might stand a better chance of finishing higher up" 🤔
I’m afraid the hyperbolic voice rather puts me off. Sorry to say 😮
No need to apologise mate, I know this channel and my video style certainly isn’t for everyone! Just trying to make it unique and different from the others. Thanks for stopping by 😃
The racing quality seems bad compared to iRacing and rFactor2’s new multiplayer system
Yeah, the general driving standards in this one were pretty bad! So many mistakes being made (myself included). I’m guessing it’s because it’s such a long lap, and people haven’t learned it so well. That doesn’t excuse the rejoins though 🤣
You got to take in to consideration the cost of entry for less than $10 on sale this will be some people's first experience of online ranked racing, even when you look at the entry list there a significant amount of people who have never raced on LFM before.
@@Dustezz Yeah this is a very good point too! To be fair, all in all it was nothing worse than what I’ve seen on plenty of ACC or iRacing servers. The vast majority of mistakes were just missed braking points. The rejoins were very bad, but again - it’s nothing I don’t see on a weekly basis everywhere else 😂
Saw people on discord driving this with keyboard arrows, plus ac is not known for racing. For a long time it was a glorified screenshot and japan highway simulator 😅
yeah, I've seen just as much chaos is iRacing. Possibly people not used to AC, it can be a bit flaky on the controls. RF2 I've seen plenty of chaos too.
Oh my the driving standards in this are dreadful ha ha
Haha yeah, not the best! I mean, I was pretty messy too, but at least my mistakes only took myself out 🤣 guess there are a lot of people trying LFM and online racing for the first time with AC, and also a very long track to try and learn. I’m still amazed I survived it 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracing yeah you did well to plough through the carnage mate 🤣
