Seeing you drive this series IRL, are these cars really that fragile to other car contact and grip? I hate that anytime a car remotely touches someone in this sim they’re dead. I swear cars IRL have to be less sensitive to contact and sliding around for minimal mistakes
@@mrmidnight32 I don’t drive the exact same car but you can definitely get away with a lot more contact irl. In iRacing you make the slightest touch with input in yours or there wheel and it insta spins you and that’s not very realistic as irl we make contact all the time with no issues.
Great racing Dave. Olivier was very graceful after the incident which makes a refreshing chage from the usual attutude that most people have. If only there were more guys like that on iRacing.
So refreshing seeing someone not flame you and call you every insult that exists without even looking at the replay. We need more of those people and less of the usual idiots we have.
I've crashed out before cos of my dogs barking, I was so busy shouting at them to BE QUIET that I just ran off the track into a barrier! They are more of a distraction than people think!
I too can vouch for Olivier the gentleman racer, last season he accidentally spun me out trying to bump draft and push us away from the rest of the pack. He stopped and waited for me to get back on track and gave up the position, top guy.. He's also insanely fast, especially in the wet!
I always get Piatek in my splits and he seems like a good guy. Glad that you had the same experience. I think he may be having a rough week because I saw him crash out of a race the other night as well!
Great driving Dave, as well as great racing. I'm not as fast as you Dave, I must say that first, so please don't be offended, but I find that where you go down to1st in a couple of corners I stay in 2nd, and I think Olivier did too. I learn a lot from your videos on my iRacing journey, thanks.
i try to be like olivier which can be hard when you drive imsa, but in multiclass races things happen. The only time i get mad is usually when someone did something absolutely senseless like drive bomb from 3 car lengths back or close the door on a higher class car when youre not racing anyone. Having a winning attitude is a big part of the battle
I think that contact with Olivier was also a bit of netcode. I didn't see major contact, and it did look like you were both keeping to your lines, though sure, you could have given a *little* more space.
Davie... When the hell did we all go back to suddenly saying “like” at the end of every sentence? I thought about this minutes ago then you went and said it as well 😂 Don’t know how it’s suddenly made a comeback like 🤷♂️😂
Dave, great video again. It's only now that I'm noticing your throttle technique when you're downshifting. Do you have time to make an explanatory video? Cheers! Jeremy
Olivier Piatek races a lot of the Mustang series and he's usually a good, clean racer. He even waits for the green flag to fly to take off which usually lets me know they're a fellow IRL racer.
Dave do you make many changes to the car setup? I am struggling to feel the chassis working like in real cars. I have over 500 races in everything from a Sunbeam Tiger to a 822 F1 March with great success and even worked with Carrol Smith as my engineer in F Atlantic but am not sure how to change things due to lack of feel. Great race by the way....
Holy shit that dude is quick. Thats the only thing I hate about iRacing is how fragile these cars are. 0 room for any sort of contact what so ever. No other sim is like that
I do think that sometimes you do think yourself out of a race win, I mean you give to much time on what the man behind is doing, rather than just getting stuck in and racing your own race, I've seen 100s of your videos, and there has been times where you have ignored what is going on behind, and got the win, but no matter what, Olivier was a gentleman amongst gentlemen, to own his mistake like he did just shows the class the guy has.
Hi Dave! I see you blipping the throttle when downshifting. Does that make a significant difference in the Mazda specifically or in all cars? Relatively new to iRacing. Cheers!
Olivier is super fast, this is his smurf account, he is at 7.3iR on his main account. I'm 4k iR mostly driving the mx5 and there is some guys that are just weirdly fast. I don't really get how they extract that much pace from that car. I guess I have things to learn still ahah
car #6 had 17 incident points, rear ended 3 cars in the one short race yet has a safety rating of 4.99 and lost no safety rating??? Am i going crazy, how does that work lol
@@davecamyt So why don't you use your BDH? Is it broken like my two ones? First one was scatched, second one didn't work at all, got repaired and then did't work without problems. So I decided to send it back. Whole thing took about 135 days! So now I ordered the SHH-shifter again (gave my old one as a gift away) because I know this one will work 100%. In the end that's what counts, functionality. See ya... 🤘🏽
@@MetalSimVR no, the shifter is perfect. I was just too lazy to get up, swap rims so thought I'd use the one that was on and use the paddles. Hopefully you'll be happy with your new shifter 😁
@@cmodlim1i learned it to keep the rear stable on downshifts use a button on the wheel for the clutch you will get the hang of it quickly, and it becomes second nature
Didn’t even know it was you till I saw the video. Great racing and a fun battle sucks it ended like that but that’s racing.
Great racing mate. 👊
Great race in Mustangs last night. If you ever run SM with NASA, come say hello!
I saw the thumbnail and was like "hey i know that livery" hahaha

Dave you give good example.
Do not focus only on rubbish, highlight good behaviour in people

Absolutely LOVE the multiple camera angles.. well done Dave.
Olivier is a real live Spec Miata driver that's why he's so fast and he's just 15
Respect to both of you for analyzing the situation, learning from it and helping others learn. That's the spirit I love to see.
This is a wholesome video Dave.. I love those moments after a race where people applaud the racing from one or another..
Excellent of him Mr. DC. Thats the attitude we should all have. Well done to you!
3 cars, 3 circuits, 3 impressive wins! As always, great content!

Another entertaining race.
Dave, great video again.

Yes I think that could be helpful to some 👍

Dave, when you running TCR fixed at Algarve this week? Be interested to join you!

Love the camera work lately! Some solid stuff
Hi,Dave. I was wondering if you process your audio through OBS and what software do you edit with ? Love the channel!
Yes all my audio goes through OBS via 2 channels. I can then control both the gameplay separately in the edit. I use premiere pro 👍
Thank you. Love the content.
Not enough space left imo… but also pretty gutsy to stay side by side for so long
Holy shit that dude is quick. Thats the only thing I hate about iRacing is how fragile these cars are. 0 room for any sort of contact what so ever. No other sim is like that
Dave, why do you have two Track Wetness panels? I have to know! My OCD is in overdrive.
I didn't realise I had. I'll change that immediately 🤣
@@davecamyt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I race in my socks too.
Looked him up, apparently Olivier is a 15 year old karting champion
Hi Dave What in ear headphones Do you use?

It's a commentary of what's happening. Talking about it wouldn't make me drive differently 😁
Hi Dave , wonder why you tap the gas when downshifting?
Just to stop the car from becoming unsettled at the rear 👍
VERY big fan of the 4 screen split sprinkled in the video, excellent addition to the aerial shots/cockpit cam. :)
Nix on the four screen setup...Makes me fast forward to the regular screen setup.
I only do it when there's not much going on 👍
how do you get all that info on the right. like weather and stuff ? can you see your tire temp ?
It's part of the Racelab overlay (linked below). No, unfortunately you can't get live tyre data from iRacing
How are you liking the APs?
this is very similar to most of my races, except I am next to last and the guy behind me is faster
No more sequential shifter for mx5?
Hi Dave! I see you blipping the throttle when downshifting. Does that make a significant difference in the Mazda specifically or in all cars? Relatively new to iRacing. Cheers!
It just settles the car much more. Make the rear less likely to break traction. Only really useful in the slower less sophisticated cars 😁
@@davecamyt Okay thanks, so not really used with GT3/GT4 cars?
@@toonyarts1366 no, with GT cars you don't need it as they have it built into the ECU 👍
@@davecamyt alright, thanks mate ^^
Dave, you should invest in some proper audiophile over ear headphones. It'll transform your immersion :)
I'm saving for a wedding so any upgrades will have to wait 😁
Why are you blipping the throttle when you downshift? I’ve never done this before but I’m new to iracing and wonder if it’s a habit I should start?
Rev match só the rear doesnt lock and oversteer, the downshift for 1sr gear is the more import one, you can set it to auto in the options
Hi Dave, where're your side monitors gone?
All 3 are in storage 😁
Olivier is super fast, this is his smurf account, he is at 7.3iR on his main account. I'm 4k iR mostly driving the mx5 and there is some guys that are just weirdly fast. I don't really get how they extract that much pace from that car. I guess I have things to learn still ahah
Btw how active pedal doing,and how braking?It's worth 2100£?
Early days yet 😁
@@davecamyt fair enough
Not the perfect race but that was a good win.
My cat and two dogs sleep all around my sim rig including under.
car #6 had 17 incident points, rear ended 3 cars in the one short race yet has a safety rating of 4.99 and lost no safety rating??? Am i going crazy, how does that work lol
How people are dipping into the 1:51s to me is insane. I can't get out of the mid 52s low 53s... -_____-
Man British people pronounce Oliver veryyyyy differently 😂. I was so confused for a minute lol
You need glasses to spot the I 😁
@@davecamyt omg 😂. Just zoomed in and saw it lol. Was watching this one on my phone 😂. Alright I take back my comment 😂😂
Hey Dave, isn´t that car a handshifted car?
I believe it is yes 😁
@@davecamyt So why don't you use your BDH? Is it broken like my two ones? First one was scatched, second one didn't work at all, got repaired and then did't work without problems.

It gets the sequential gearbox treatment for IMSA Whelen MX-5 Cup.
@@MetalSimVR I read on their website the SHH has H-mode. Now for someone who spends a lot of time in Japan, that has an entirely different meaning. 😜
@@MetalSimVR no, the shifter is perfect. I was just too lazy to get up, swap rims so thought I'd use the one that was on and use the paddles.
Hopefully you'll be happy with your new shifter 😁
Brill❤
6:43 You have dogs 🐕 🐩 and you haven’t shown them off yet? wtf. 😅
Why does he tap the gas when downshifting?
I wonder as well, anyone know why Dave tap the gas when downshifting? Perhaps Dave can tell us why 😊
@davecamm
@@cmodlim1it’s to rev match for smother downshifts and it keeps the car more stable in the corners
As Olivier says, it's just to keep the rear settled when downshifting 👍
@@cmodlim1i learned it to keep the rear stable on downshifts
use a button on the wheel for the clutch
you will get the hang of it quickly, and it becomes second nature
lol top split 1 of 15 😂😂😂
the opponent on-boards were great.
Unless someone is an idiot or unaware to who he’s interacting with, of course he’ll be nice with a famous youtuber…
I'm sure he doesn't know me or probably even care 😁
Why are you blipping the throttle when you downshift? I’ve never done this before but I’m new to iracing and wonder if it’s a habit I should start?
Yes it just settles the car on downshifts 👍
