So good to see videos featuring sims from back in my day. The best league I ever raced in was the Fast Food Racing League. Being lapped by Greger was an honour.
Feels like it was so long ago now. This was such a fun period of simracing to be a part of, good memories. You saying Greger would have won the last two races of 2010 had he shown up... I have to agree :D Lucky for me he didn't.
@@DJYeeJay I doubt I would have haha. But actually we had our shot before, during the Indy race. Greger was travelling at the time doing the whole "World's fastest alien" challenge and was using a loaner equipment in the US and was obviously not up to his usual pace. Towler got the controversial pole position as they discovered you could cut the last corner by taking the pitroad so I lost out in qualifying. Race could have been close without that 😄 But yeah, Greger was untouchable in 2010 which made 2011 all the more exciting.
I'm also from Brazil... iRacing's pricing and monetization still really inaccessible around here.. same thing for any sim racing gear to be honest! and it was even worst in those early years! it is really cool and inspiring to see this history! great job Hugo! also great video as always =D
I was starting in sim racing and Hugo's achievement was incredible. And years later I was able to work with him on broadcasts here in Brazil. Great guy!
These are amazing insights into the earlier days of our shared sport that most of us would never have a chance to see esewhere - thank you *so much* for all the effort puttjng together and telling these tales 👌👌
Good boy! He gave me a lot of tips when I was on the Road to WCS, unfortunately I didn't share the track with him because when I managed to race on the iRacing World Championship he was no longer there, but I had the pleasure of racing with Mogar Filho who gave me lots of tips as well. Monsters!
Hearing Live for speed mentioned in the background while chucking the bmw m4 gt3 mod at westhill international on Live for speed was super surreal. You love to see LFS getting name dropped!
I dont think people nowadays realize how important this game was. It felt so natural and real compared to all the big sims. It still feels great today and VR loks inceredible for such an old game.
What a great video. What a great guy. Looks super chill. Congrats for your in-game achievements as well as your career achievements with Racespot. The best broadcasts I have watched for simracing!
Hugo is such a great guy, and he definitely deserved all the success that he had back then. Guy had a natural talent and was fast straight away at any car any track. It was really impressive to race him. Good memories!
Commenting for the algorithm. Your content is excellent. I share it with all my friends- really want this channel to grow and I appreciate the effort you put in!
I missed out on all of this culture back then, super cool to see! You're the only channel documenting the history of sim racing culture like this, these docs will prevent this history from being permanently lost to time ❤
Was the fastest for sure back then. Some of us could hang with him for a few laps, but then we'd make small mistakes and he never would. He was the man back then.
Having interacted with Hugo multiple times in the past in his role with Racespot, I somehow never realized that he was not only a former DWC driver, but a *champion of the series*, lmao. Very humble guy, and I'm glad that he's built something as incredible as RSTV!
@@theonlylolking if u book a year, its only 4,98$ per month or 6,60$ per month if u book 3 months its defenitely not cheap for brazilian people.. they have an average income per month of 500$ poland has 1100$ per month and germany 3400$ per month. And the average is calculated with all the rich people in the country. So many people have way less then the "average" income. For instance the average working class in germany has only an average of 2100$ per month. So in brazil they also have less then 500$ He said his family is in the broadcasting industry, so it sounded like they are probabaly not the most poor people. So the cost for Iracing should be manageable for them.. but its defenitely not cheap for them.
Every time you have an European nationality that is dominating on the world of racing, you can count on that a Brazilian will emerge to take their crown away, at some point in time. That is the unspoken rule of Motorsport in the world. "Watch out for the Brazilian, for he is coming". LMAO! Hugo rocked, and now we have Igor Fraga. Hugo is the VR José Carlos Pace, the guy who kicked open the doors of the highest level of racing for Brazil. Then came Igor, the first great champion, much like Emerson Fittipaldi. I am eagerly waiting for the Nelson Piquet and the Ayrton Senna on the VR. They will come, it is just a matter of time...
Honestly it’s just how the scene has evolved. Obviously the level of driver is going to increase with better technology and more money in the scene. It’s all the same exact “GOAT” argument that goes on in sports when you try to compare Lebron with like Kareem.
WTF, yesterday i was trying to remmember a unkown racing game that i got in walmart many years ago, and it is the first game that he mentions, i was never going to find again, looks like they dumped a lot of copies here in Brazil
Im more interested about all those Finnish names and drivers. Damn, there was like 3, 4 or 5 Finnish guys in a race at one point, all in the top 5. Who are those guys and why does Finland produce such good drivers, consistently?? Wtf lol

My man! Hugo is a great dude to work with at Racespot TV. Been working with him for over four years now.
Feels like it was so long ago now. This was such a fun period of simracing to be a part of, good memories.
You saying Greger would have won the last two races of 2010 had he shown up... I have to agree :D Lucky for me he didn't.
Nice! Those races must've had some pressure like "it's now or never", but I think you could've gotten maybe 1 even with Greger 😉
@@DJYeeJay I doubt I would have haha. But actually we had our shot before, during the Indy race.

also great video as always =D
Hugo and 3ids success from LFS to iRacing was a big inspiration for me back in the days. Brought back a lot of memories. Great video
29:25 I only wish there was driver audio for this moment, I somehow can feel the elation just by looking at Hugo side-to-side across the finish line
I was starting in sim racing and Hugo's achievement was incredible. And years later I was able to work with him on broadcasts here in Brazil. Great guy!
All bless the Brazilian GOAT, my Racespot boss, Hugo Luis

Hugo is the man, does a phenomenal job at Racespot Tv currently.
Hearing Live for speed mentioned in the background while chucking the bmw m4 gt3 mod at westhill international on Live for speed was super surreal. You love to see LFS getting name dropped!
I know right! I still play Live for Speed with my Dad! 😂 Truly an amazing sim
I dont think people nowadays realize how important this game was. It felt so natural and real compared to all the big sims. It still feels great today and VR loks inceredible for such an old game.
@@hans-jurgenpeters5614 I wanna try VR so bad! :D
Live for speed was absolutely fantastic. Probably the best of all time on some levels
I would recommend this interview to any youngster sim racers. Quite the role model. Bravo.
What a great video. What a great guy. Looks super chill. Congrats for your in-game achievements as well as your career achievements with Racespot. The best broadcasts I have watched for simracing!
I love your sim racing history videos!
@@PiotrSays I appreciate it!!
What a legend
I remember Huttu from the Gran Prix Legend days. Amazing driver.

The shots of Westhill and Kyoto. Hooo boy, that takes me back.
always love when LFS gets a shout out....legendary races on there from 2006-2008. my intro to oval racing was XRTs at Kyoto. so much fun
Just being on the track with Huttu was an honor and a lesson.
He had Live for Speed! Lesgo baby!

Thanks man I appreciate it!
Very enjoyable documentaries you are producing, keep it up! Soon you can replace that piece of paper on the wall with the real deal ;)
Hugo had the oldest WR in LFS for many years, it only got beaten in 2021, having stood since 2009.
I missed out on all of this culture back then, super cool to see! You're the only channel documenting the history of sim racing culture like this, these docs will prevent this history from being permanently lost to time ❤
Let’s go a new Documentary keeps these coming please!
Incredible video, had me on the edge of the seat from the first minute.
Huttu is known since the late 90's whe I started racing on GPL...
Was the fastest for sure back then. Some of us could hang with him for a few laps, but then we'd make small mistakes and he never would. He was the man back then.
We really need this kind of sim racing content!! This video is amazing! Thank you!
Great story by the way. Really enjoyed the deep dive.
Doing videos on some of the racers around the sim is a great idea Justin!
Great video, sim racing history is so interesting
Hope you can grow this channel ! Keep it up 🍻
As a fellow brazilian, this guy is a bonafide goddamn LEGEND.
My reacting to the title of the video:
DEAR GOSH!!!
Your videos are just perfect
Fantastic video, such a unique channel. Keep it up dude!
what a great piece of history! thanks for the video
What a story!!! Thank you so much for this video!
virtually come to brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Physically come to Finland
Mentally come to Australia
Spiritually come to Russia

I miss the team nights we had in LFS (ConeDodgers). We would have a closed race only for team members. I still race in LFS sometimes.
great video, deserves many views
0:28 casually has a car blow an engine and spin and nothing happened there guys
Least chaotic 2011 pro series launch
Thanks for your time and work bro 💪
Epic video glad it got recommended
iRacing's subscription model is criminal man
wow it costs for one month the same as 1 lunch at fast food or a trip to starbucks.
@@theonlylolking if u book a year, its only 4,98$ per month
or 6,60$ per month if u book 3 months
its defenitely not cheap for brazilian people.. they have an average income per month of 500$
poland has 1100$ per month and germany 3400$ per month.
And the average is calculated with all the rich people in the country. So many people have way less then the "average" income.

@@Satori-Automotive Don't you have to buy individual cars and tracks as well?
@@lfox02
You get a good amount of free content, but yes
These are the years simracing should go back to. This and FSR were my jam 😅
Midtown madness was the best. One of my favorite games of all time
Great video 👏👏
Thank you. Lovely story.
A great story, thanks for sharing
What happened to Gregor Huttu? He hasn’t raced on iRacing since 2020.
The golden days, and had the joy of competing against some of the best back then, got old and slow now lol :D
If you haven't already, you should check out Volker Hackmann's career.
Awesome video!!!
17:26 sokebody should have told that to max before Hungary 😂
Fr though hes a goat in sim racing his pace is not real
Pretty dang cool ! Thx🤘🏻🏁
great vid :D
what happned to Greger, not raced in officials since 2020
Damn bro, you must have had some good ass sleep last night
I didn't go to bed right after making the post haha
He win the championship using a CRT monitor at the time.
shoutout to the OG LFS community
Vamos
lets gooo new video dropped
I love this kind of content
Thank you!!

THE DAY HAS COME, THE SECOND COMING OF AYRTON SENNA DO BRASIL
It's crazy now that nobody in the know considers Huttu a top 5 road racer OAT, how the mighty fall lol
Honestly it’s just how the scene has evolved. Obviously the level of driver is going to increase with better technology and more money in the scene. It’s all the same exact “GOAT” argument that goes on in sports when you try to compare Lebron with like Kareem.
DJ Yee J - Come to Brasil
Lets go! This was great!
seeing the goat and the kid in a thumbnail not at all related to melee or Mang0 is funny
I did think about Mang0 when I made it 🤣
BRASILLLL!!!!!!!! VAMO !!!!
Hugo Luis MOOOOOOOONSSSSTROOOOOOOO
Very well produced.
I have plenty of 2010/11/12 DWC road and oval replays and broadcasts. Some replays don't work like they should though.
That's sick! Are they posted online at all?
@@DJYeeJay I pm'd you on iracing forums
i love your videos
Idk why but every brazilian on formula 1 always had a special ability...
brazil mentioned
The aliens all drive super unrealistically which makes it all kinda dumb.
WTF, yesterday i was trying to remmember a unkown racing game that i got in walmart many years ago, and it is the first game that he mentions, i was never going to find again, looks like they dumped a lot of copies here in Brazil
Brazil number 1!
Never even heard of the dude before 😅
Very interesting
Where is Greger Huttu today?
I hope to one day do a video with him but I'm having a hard time reaching him
what caused drivers to destroy their engines @15:40?
New video!!
Never seen him on gran turismo 7 or at the world finals or any of the races.....never.....and how is he at racing VR?
What book did he read?
And then he got this lap ahh type of video.
(Joke, great video)
What is the music name at 22:18 and through❤

I get why Finland has good drivers, but how does Brazil keep giving us legendary drivers?
You di say EVERY race game and sim 🤷🏻♂️
Im more interested about all those Finnish names and drivers. Damn, there was like 3, 4 or 5 Finnish guys in a race at one point, all in the top 5. Who are those guys and why does Finland produce such good drivers, consistently?? Wtf lol
new zealand too XD
