I really enjoyed this race. As soon as I realized what was coming with the traffic in front of us I knew it was time to do the move and actually it worked out beautifully. That was the moment I knew I won the battle. I was lucky with the back marker not gonna lie. Great chase and great battle through the whole race. Great race, good times! ✌🏻
Just had a fantastic race against the a.i. @ Siverstone classic with these cars. In my opinion it was a mistake for KW to release this on the same day as the LMU update, as it's been largely ignored by most streamers in favour of that sim. Glad to see you covering it :)
@@gomezthechimp1116 I had to try LMU just to see Gomez but my heart will always be with these types of cars! This is the BTCC I know and love. TOCA forever 😀👍
Agree with you, really bad timing on KW's part. Same day as the LMU update, then the AC EVO news and iRacing's update too. They're all talking about everything but Raceroom lol.
@RicHSAD2 Which is a shame as in my opinion it's the best content to come out that day! (Haven't tried iRacing obviously). I will do my best to promote what I can 😜
Thanks for the video..great clean racing between you both..shame the BMW fell behind. Poor back marker..im sure he didn't want to mess up anyone's race!
Fantastic race 👏 Rare to find close clean racing like that, really fun to watch too - thanks for sharing! Huge fan of RaceRoom here. Was this race part of a league?
@@JasonGemson Hello! This was a race night hosted by MetzVR, so it was 6 tracks all in the Super Tourers but I'm afraid I could only make two of them 🙂👍 Thanks for the comment 😊😊
@@ReverendSimRacing ah yeah, I'm subscribed to the MetzVR channel and occasionally watch the streams. My rig time is limited but I'll try to join one of those sessions if I can 👍 Enjoy the racing, and keep up the good work on the channel. The positivity and fairness on track you showed in this race is really refreshing to see, the world of sim racing (and real world racing) needs more of this 😊
Another top video, Rev. Well, I’m convinced and I know what my evening will consist of. Can’t wait to give it a go😀. The BMW had an apt bonnet sponsor after that 2-wheel stunt 😂
@@perssimrally3114 Firstly thank you for the comment it's hugely appreciated. I hope you do start to race online as it's a fantastic SIM! Keep your eye out in a day or two as I had an even better race this evening. These cars are simply lovely!
@@JustDeony It's such a shame he had that little off! Thank you for the comment, I had an even better battle this evening with a BMW! Video in the coming days ☺️☺️
wow, all the time I was thinking you were racing against real people before I read that it was a race against AI fantastic stuff! also it's so entertaining to watch you having so much fun, thanks for another great video!
Bought it immediatly! Great cars! A pity that the ranked racing with the ST is on Silverstone classic, a track i don't really like. And what a fantastic race youve had!
@@chiefbrody3406 I know! Just didn't want to move at all but hey ho it was fantastic fun! Why I do this hobby in the first place. Thanks for the comment mate appreciate it! ☺️
Forgot to say: as someone that enjoys front wheel cars, RR is the king. They got the recipe for the touring cars spot on. And VR also works decently in it too. Here hoping their graphics revision for next year with DX12 will also bring improvements to the AI and more logical racing rules. Then they may give the other sims a race for the money.
If you would have to buy only 1 of them and you can choose only between Audi and honda, which would be your choice? I've made a few laps with each car on Portimao and Raceroom bridge and I found Audi super OP, no ABS but "easy" to control under braking, no TC but super stable on corners and traction... same for Honda but a bit slower at least in Raceroom bridge.
I would go for the Audi simply for its 4wd system. The Audi was actually OP in the real BTCC that season due to its 4wd system. The main reason though is the sound! It sounds much better than the Honda for me ☺️👍
Thats what its all about great racing you get beat but who cares. Nice clean battle it could have been 29th vs 30th its the fairness and clean racing from both of you that made that so good. But lets not forget RRs fantastic net-code really helps. Great Sim.
haha at 11:17 you accidentally shift into 5th when you should be down to 2nd gear for the tight right turn at the underpass, this is why you lost the position. Brands Hatch is fast but you'll get punished for the slightest of mistakes, so props to RR for this. What AI level were you running?
@@ReverendSimRacing Really? Hah, that explains why you weren't taken out by the AI by ramming into your rear bumper. I haven't tried an online race yet in RR, will have to give it a go. Apparently finding a race with enough peeps is rare in RR but hopefully with the release of the Super Tourers that'll change.
I use it matey! It's fantastic but just before this race it crashed so I had to quickly turn on the default HUD or I would have had no HUD at all I'm afraid 😳😀
Classic touring cars in RR is what classic F1 is in AMS2, simply fun and so damn well done. This game is growing on me despite its many issues, that for some reason the developers refuse to address, such as the ridiculous track limits and poor AI that takes you out by hitting you in the back every chance they get. There is no excuse for the lazy programming where simply going over the line at any point in the track will render your lap invalid and the NEXT LAP TOO! And this on sections where you're already being penalized by losing time for going wide. This is getting so old I'm beginning to regret spending money on it last week when I bought a few cars and tracks. Due to this I'm not investing in the Super Tourers, despite it looking damn sweet. Will wait 'till it goes on sale and then maybe. Oh and yeah, no radar. It's like this sim was built in the early 2000s. It's great but man, how about putting some love into it, developers?
@@mxracinguy5993 I can get frustrated by many of the things you outline mate! Track limits being one! The whole Raceroom team now consists of about 10 people so updates and fixes will always be quite slow in comparison to many other Sims I'm afraid.
Track limits is something that you must get used to it. Until the jump to DX12 i doubt if there will be any changes. As for the radar, i use ottohud with crew chief and works like a charm.
@@Argy_V Thanks for the tip on ottohud, will have to try and find it. I don't use CrewChief as I can't stand that irritating computer voice that loves to listen to the sound of his own voice chatting about air and track temperature every minute and other less-than-useful info. But sure there is a way to mute it.
@@Argy_V Just installed it, the radar works well. Thanks for the heads up. Say, do I need to manually start CrewChief each time before starting Steam? Also, that annoying Jim is completely silent out of the box - where I prefer this, it looks CC isn't working. Wonder what I'm doing wrong. But this is great, RR is beginning to look and function better.
How are you rolling your eyes? Is there a stick shifter I'm not using and I'm choosing to paddle shift? You have to use what you own. Should I not play because I only own paddle shifters?
@@ReverendSimRacing No, sorry, I used the wrong emoji. It was supposed to be a sad face, not a "rolling eyes". It was my attempt at humor. Fail on my part. Of course, you should use what you have. Things don't always translate so well in the written word. I enjoy your content (I'm a subscriber). I'm loving this DLC from RaceRoom. Keep up the good vids. I'll still be watching.
@@ReverendSimRacing Not a problem at all. As I said, it can be difficult at times to interpret "tone" in the written word. Keep doing what you're doing.

good race, I like Audi, but Volvo S40 is the best IMHO.
@@ElPlan1414 Oh totally agree mate the Volvo is my favourite BTCC of all time, now then, White or Silver livery? 😉😉😉
