I did this combo today. the plan was start from the pits and farm some safety rating. I accidently qualified in 2nd - well that was the plan right out the window!. Bagged my first win too. Well done to you
Thanks lad! Definitely happy with my decision-making here. To be honest, I’d have taken a top-five while I get back up to speed, so the extra positions were a satisfying bonus!
Good race - Congrats. iRacing is where you belong because the match making system combined with the large user base usually results in close competition. 👍🏁
Yes, exactly… AND at any time of the day. It’s the only sim where I can find an early morning race, my preferred time to get online. This race ran at 7.15am… and still had 100+ entries!
Great race, Chris! Deserved podium! It always cracks me up how those cars look. Almost like the wheels should just go flying off because they're not held on by anything. I think it would be exciting watching videos of you racing Roombas!
Thank you Eric! Yeah they’re not the prettiest cars to look at, but boy are they fun to drive. Takes 2-3 laps to build up enough tyre temperature, but once you’re there, you really can throw it around. Excellent!
Great race Chris!! Seems like the chaos decided to actually miss you for once. Imagine that. Lol. Congrats on the podium, and great job on the commentary and edits as always!!
Keep adding these new videos to your iracing playlist I love your style of commentary and replays so that playlist is a great watch it just needs a bit of updating
Thanks, yes will do! These two iRacing videos are my first races on the sim since last November, so there’s not been any content to add in that playlist until now. But will deffo keep it updated 👍
I'd say that was a pretty successful return to iRacing. A clear case of waiting and biding you're time, waiting for those opportunities to open up in front of you 👍🏻
Yeah, that was absolutely the game plan. I’ve always driven a bit more cautiously in iRacing due to the high chance of carnage and punishing damage model, more often than not it pays off.
Really good performance there. Looking at your race pace, had you not got stuck behind an obviously slower driver, you could have been challenging for a win because the front two hadn't exactly cleared off.
Exactly, yeah. I paid the price for a missed apex in qualifying. Cost me 3 grid positions… if I’d started on the second row, I’m pretty sure I’d have been fighting for the win.
Nice race. You made a lot of good decisions there which paid off for you but you were a little clumsy downshifting into the hairpin a few times and lost out on the added stopping power of engine braking. Keep up the great content.
Quite possibly. There probably badly won’t be a huge amount of combos I own - a lot of the content I’ve bought has been retired or not used any more, which is frustrating. But I do enjoy these FF1600 cars, so there’s always the rookie races as an option. Could give the Vee a go too 👍
I do love the Clio in AC. Been tempted by it in iRacing before, but I’d just need to check participation levels for the times of day I race (mornings or afternoons)
@@chrisrogerssimracing participation is good evenings and Sundays. Mornings are a bit dead tbh. There is a weekly SOF race every Wednesday at 8pm GMT with multiple splits and also has a leaderboard for a bit of fun, it's kind of a public league. The racing is excellent. A few TH-camrs like eXtric, Tynehawk and SimRacer65 have plenty of videos of it. Hope to see you on track 👍
Returning to iRacing after 4 months, and you choose F1600 at Summit Point...... You, sir, are a glutton for punishment. If you like pain this much, I can supply you with contact info for a few professional dominatrix. Probably cheaper than iRacing as well. 😁
Awesome I joined Iracing last week and won my first rookie race on this same combo last night! Loving the mx-5, formula Vee and FF1600 combos.
Congratulations! I do love a good race on Summit Point. It’s a very fun track to drive in these lower-powered cars 😃
I did this combo today. the plan was start from the pits and farm some safety rating. I accidently qualified in 2nd - well that was the plan right out the window!. Bagged my first win too. Well done to you
“Come on Chris! Come on Chris!” All throughout the last 5 minutes great race well deserved!
Haha! Thank you my friend, I love to hear the support 😃 Cheers
Great to see you back on iracing buddy! And a very smart result!! Super combo this one - great to slide these cars around!
Thanks lad! Definitely happy with my decision-making here. To be honest, I’d have taken a top-five while I get back up to speed, so the extra positions were a satisfying bonus!
Glad to see you back on iRacing. We've missed your iRacing content.
Thank you Art, it was really good fun, so I’ll definitely be aiming to get a few more out this season 👍

It’s my pleasure, thank you for watching 😃

Great race and finish there Chris!! Thanks for sharing w us!!
My pleasure Walt, as always, thanks for watching 😃
Nice run Chris. What a pass for 3rd and an excellent comeback to iRacing 👍
Thank you mate, yeah it was a pleasant surprise to be competitive in my first combo. Very satisfying!
Yes Sir Chris !!!! , Very nice drive Lad !!!! , Happy for ya !!!!.
Thank you mate!
The F4s here last week were great fun. Love a short bumpy circuit in a quick car.
Good race!
Yeah, the track is perfect for these smaller single-seaters. I’d have certainly given the F4 a try last week if I’d had more time.
Great race Chris!! Seems like the chaos decided to actually miss you for once. Imagine that. Lol. Congrats on the podium, and great job on the commentary and edits as always!!
Haha yeah, it does happen occasionally! Thank you very much mate 😃

Welcome back! Smashing race as always.
Thanks David, was very good to thrash around in the FF again!
No one chrashed into you. Amazing!😆
Haha I know! It happens, very occasionally 🤣
Fantastic result, Chris, well done!
Thank you Andy!
Zero incident points and a podium? I almost had to check if I'd wound up on the wrong channel after that. Congrats, Chris!
Haha I know! 🤣 Can hardly believe it myself!
Well done Chris. 👍
Thank you mate 😃
Nice to see you back!
Thanks mate, I’ve been meaning to get back on iRacing for ages! Just always seem to run out of time. Glad I chose this combo though… great fun.
Congrats Chris on the podium
Thank you very much! Cheers for watching 😃

Nice driving Chris. You made the late pass and held it to the end.
Thank you Ralph, the guy in front was driving very well so I reckon that was my one opportunity to pass, glad it paid off. Cheers for watching 😃
Nice drive Chris! Congrats on P3 🥉!
Thank you mate, an unexpected treat to get a podium so soon after returning!
Well done mate,great result.
Thank you mate 👍
Really great Video as always chris, and for once you didn't get collected in those accidents haha
Haha yeah, I still can’t quite believe that 🤣
Gongrats Chris, great race!
Thank you mate!

Cheers mate, yeah the handling of this car is taking a bit of getting used to after so long away!
Good racing on your return Chris, I like the track myself with the Vee, so does this mean you are going to do more iRacing ?
Quite possibly. There probably badly won’t be a huge amount of combos I own - a lot of the content I’ve bought has been retired or not used any more, which is frustrating. But I do enjoy these FF1600 cars, so there’s always the rookie races as an option. Could give the Vee a go too 👍
However you look at it your plan actually worked and paid dividends, well done buddy 👏 great race.
Cheers, yeah a little bit of good fortune never goes amiss! Cheers Tony
You should get the Clio, I think you'll find the racing pretty decent and you can join the weekly SOF race
I do love the Clio in AC. Been tempted by it in iRacing before, but I’d just need to check participation levels for the times of day I race (mornings or afternoons)

He’s back! Sorry it had to be for an iRacing video 😉
@@chrisrogerssimracing hehe you go Chris. Keep the pedal to the metal

Haha! 🤣 I’ve done 2 races in it now and amazingly have survived (relatively) unscathed. What’s going on???!
