OMG, HPD! Part of doing well is placing yourself in position to do well. Well, that and narrowly avoiding incident with not so cat like reflexes, am I right, or am I right? Only need to play my game, not theirs.
I like watching you even when things are going good. I learn stuff just by hearing you comment on how took a random corner or passed some lapped traffic. You make some good commentary as well for a guy with nothing to talk about in the race. Don't change the format. It works.
Even though this video is more than 2 years old, I'm still gonna "give my mustard to it" (literal translation of a german saying). I think cutting out chunks of the race where nothing happens is like spoiling the outcome of a race like "wait for lap so-and-so, somethings gonna happen". By leaving the length untouched, you add some of the thrill you're only going to get when watching a real life race. But hey, that's just my opinion and you have the freedom to edit the hell out of your videos! :]
If people are bored by laps where nothing happens, they can fast forward to more interesting sections of the vid. Personally, I find it interesting to see how your laptimes develop and how you manage to keep up your focus. So I would say, do not cut out portions of the race.
Fucking Laguna Se3ca... One of the best courses imo, and THE best of the shorter ones. Ever single corner is a challenge, there is no dead space on this track. And the insane verticality does its part as well. Simply brilliant.
I like the full videos. I know they are a pain to upload, but its great to watch. Thanks for putting all the effort to share your entertainment. I've learned a lot.
For sure play the whole race out. A lot of us turn to youtube and watch these very helpful videos to aid us in learning tracks, braking points, lines etc...I am an oval iracer, so these road course videos sure to help me out if I try and attempt a road course. But I am only a class D road racer and have only ran Laguna Seca with the mazda car so this is helpful to watch how other types of road cars properly driven should drive/handle.
Can't remember if this was one from the forum or a modified fixed. It really wasn't stable, I just had to take care. Get into the corner too hot (too much nose weight under turn in) and it would rotate around all the time. If it was from the forums, it was from Alan Paterson or whatever his name is, then modified from there slightly. All told, I think I had about an hour and a half of practice / setup before the race.
Average across the race was a 15 flat, that includes traffic as well as a very relaxed pace after the at the time leader spinning out and taking the car behind me with it. The only thing you need to worry about is being faster than the class behind you which is fairly easy, if you can do that go ahead and race if you are ready and safe enough around other cars. Pace comes with practice.
Yea, I'd never leave a yellow unless the conversation is funny / awesome. I want to punch something whenever a yellow comes out, if I could skip them real time I would. lol I'm a fan of Metal Gear Solid, stealth game where you can hide in a cardboard box, as in "I'm just an empty box, don't mind me" (hops out of box, snaps a guard's neck, hops back in box) Plus it's unique enough but not silly with numbers and letters and stuff.
Wasn't the Vette's fault (reviewed it after the race as I've raced with Chad a LOT over the years so I know he's good), the HPD spun, ended up in the middle of the track. Rather than reverse (away from the racing line) he went forward, directly onto the line in front of traffic. The HPD was far enough left going right was easy and the only option. Until he moved in front of the Vette.
Depends what car you drive, the MX5 for example... well... I can't drive that. If it was the rookie car when I started I'd probably never subscribed again. Get into the Skip, if anything it has a touch too much stability, but overall still very good. Plus, often it's a matter of getting used to the visual cues of a different sim when I switch. The way a certain slip angle looks in GSC isn't the same it looks in iRacing, isn't the same it looks in rF2.
Point being, I hate the ARX01c's feedback here in iRacing. It isn't exactly communicative. It works, once you get used to it. It is very knife edge, react fast enough it can be saved, but if you don't not a chance. Sure the 03 may be a P1 car, but with the regulation differences, the 01c is fairly close to a modern P1, and likely would behave somewhat similarly in those regards. Certainly hate the FFB in this car less now after that article!
So, the answer is I'm not cutting anything out. lol Also, side note... Reading Road & Track before this race (thought this was interesting), a journo gets to take the ARX-03 P1 car (Muscle Milk) around Sebring. Besides DF not being scary to try and use in a sim, his main point was the steering lacked feedback in the real car, much like in iRacing. Luhr claims it is driven with your eyes to a large degree, like in a sim. Both of those are pretty accurate to the ARX01c here interestingly.
As in the FW31? Not a single thought. It drives nicely on the NTMv5 actually, but F1 cars are just not my thing in sims. Just too fast, too much downforce, too short of braking zones which makes passing more difficult. The HPD and Indycar are about as fast as I can stand to race. If we had a P1 car I'd probably run the HPD more even though a P1 would be "sexier" given it would be faster.
I left my V2s alone entirely out of the box. The V1s I had (same thing minus hydraulic shock) it for nearly zero pedal travel. And frankly if I weren't so lazy, I'd do it this way on the V2s. (lol) Unlike the Logi pedals, the CSPs are load cell, meaning you want to be on the cell - when the pedal doesnt travel, but the pressure on the pedal determines braking. The "travel" just simulates the initial sponginess of a pedal as the pads travel to the rotors.
Ford GT is the best (as in it drives in a normal manner, like a car) car of the group. Corvette is a BEAST and by far the hardest to drive, the HPD is on another planet from the others entirely My brain says Ford, my heart says Vette.
What kind of issues did the pedals give you? They work just fin in iRacing, I started with that wheel way back when. There isn't a single sim out there that would work with the paddles as gas / brake, as they are just on / off switches.
Because tons of drivers gravitate to it even though they are incapable of driving it capably yet they try to anyways because it's easy to go faster than a GT car. Those guys usually end up wrecking GT cars with reckless abandon.
Whoops, totally missed the response so I thought you were having an issue with the pedals in iRacing (doh!) rather than talking about ICR2. I'll consider giving it a whirl if I find time.
I say don't cut it. I use these to learn from. Also what capture do you use? I tried using Frame Rate Automatic Pisser otherwise known as Fraps. But, either my cards can't handle it or, it takes up to muchof my CPU (ADM quad core) to run it.
Love the dynamics in this game but just takes forever to get going and I also know nothing about car setup so I always feel I'm going in wrong. Also it's kinda pricey for a casual race...
I like to watch you work through lap traffic and how you handle it while trying to hold off someone or battle someone. Most of the time I'm surfing the web or doing something while watching this. Also nice to watch how the car changes throughout the race along how you handle the track.
Even though I'm not in the Pro series, I do a full race simulation every week in practice before racing. Even for long races. I don't do a lot of races so I want to make them count and be prepared for them. I want to know how the car feels and changes over the course of a full stint before joining a race.
Hey dude love the vids. Was wondering if you might run some ICR2 say running the 93 94 or 95 Lola. Just love the open wheel and since you're going old school why not bring back ICR2. It's a great game and I'd love to see how you'd describe running laps at Indy trying to maintain 220 corner speeds over the course of a fuel run. Since you are so good at describing how a car handles. Just a thought. Great works cheers
Off topic, but the ClubSport v2s arrived yesterday, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on the spring and sensitivity setup for the brake pedal. I didn't have time last night to do too much testing with various combinations, but I ended up putting the spring travel back on the default setting and the sensor on about 8 (because that's when the utility showed full braking when I had the pedal depressed as far as it would go)
The wheel works great with other games. I just haven't gotten them to work with ICR2 for whatever reason. Not saying you would have the same issue but if you did that was my option around it. It'd be awesome to see you run ICR2 with working pedals, that game was just a lot of fun in general. Skin packages made it fun as well.
Well I had the Logitech Momo and I managed to get the Wheel to work fine but the pedals gave me issues. I'm sure there are ways to get the pedals to work, but what I did was use my paddles shifters as gas/break. Wasn't ideal but works out okay on Ovals, little trickier on RC and SC. But yea I'm sure it can be set up to a model wheel wit some tinkering.
Another problem with cutting the 'boring' bits out is that it ruins the suspense. The viewer knows something dramatic is likely to happen after the video has skipped on. Second the comment advocating a list of highlight timings in the description, that way the viewer decides if he wants to skip or not.
I just thumbed everybody up, but would like to say something myself too; KEEP EVERYTHING IN!!! lol :) Sometimes it's boring yea, but then you sometimes trow out some great comments, to learn or just plain funny, either way..since you asked ;) Upload your whole video always and maybe with an annotation about the "boring bits" Oh yea, thanks for filling my evening again :p
practice practice practice. Iracing is not a crappy game like need for speed, also don't push seriously, boring laps= fast laps... also dont start and just thing it is easy (not kidding) last thing: makes rue you have the settings properly
I do not think i would watch your videos if they were not entire races... Thats why I subscribed here and to some other channels like SimracingDan's and Shopup's... I think it's about the whole expirience, and not just for few exciting moments.
to answer your question about cutting the footage, I say NO! leave all the footage you can, there are many things to be gained from the nuances in driving that you would miss without all the raw footage. Thanks for providing!
I say don't cut the video,even though it might seem uninteresting, I enjoy watching the relative to you leader board times fluctuating, and generally watching how consistent you are around the course. Cheers
I think people that know you dont mind the extra stuff. But people that are new to you would probably want like a highlight video. I think a longish video that cuts some parts out would make both happy
Great Driving Matt! Have you ever thought of doing the Grand Prix Series? Not necessarily competitively but just the odd race. It looks very fun and i know it's extremely close, providing good racing.
TBH, i'd porefer you leave the "Boring bits" . I use them to check your lines etc :P (yes secretly i consider watching your vids as a studie lol) and if i'm not in the mood ill skip it myself :D
LIKE EVERYONE ELSEI SAY LEAVE FULL VIDIOS (AND I WISH I HAD ANYWEAR NEAR 1 MEG/SEC UPLOAD) LOL THE COMMETRY IS 1ST CLASS AND REASON I KEEP ON WATCHING MATT . THANKYOU AGAIN
HPD is my joint. Im running the HDF for LS and you hit the nail on the head with concentration. Im running in the 12s and its tiring to keep that pace up. Great driving.
WTF kind of a merge into traffic was that at lap 15? He was #1 for the race too O_o Would've been a nice battle between you and the guy behind you had he not been taken out..
what kind of setup are you setups? your hpd looks so stable compared to whatever setup I could find and tryed. Sesms even worst on the current track (VIR)
With "like the Corvette" I meant that I imagined the HPD made a mistake.Especially in the corkscrew where the HPD spins so easily if you don't know the limits of the car. Thanks for answering
Whole thing with Time List of sig events. I enjoy the "slow" sections for your insight but at times would like to skip to action. Awesome job as usual!
Yeah, just like everyone else: don't cut the vid - make some marks on the description if you need to, so we have a choice to watch or to skip. After all, the more choice the better.
This car is awesome, but its a liar. When you first drive it, you're like, OMG, this thing is so easy to drive.. Then you realize your 10 seconds off the pace/ But, when you do eventually learn how to drive this car, which I will admit, is scary at first.. oh man, what a blast. This thing just STICKS to the road when you do it right. That turn that leads up the hill, with the red curbing bit, IS freaking awesome you nail it. Gets a lot of heat because of idiots in this car in the mixed class series, and those idiots exist BECAUSE this car is so easy to drive, off the pace. But it takes practice and concentration to drive it quick, and its a blast to do.
Dont take out the "boring" parts please! Its a part of racing, and lets the video be long enough so i can get sidetracked from my homework for long enough haha
Hi Matt, Please Please Please don't cut anything out of you're racing video's Please. I really like them ALOT! I watch ALL of them I find. I'm trying to learn the way you run a lap on the different tracks. It's show me just how to drive, I'm no where close to skill level. These are very eductional for us new drivers. Thanks.
I'm agreeing with everyone else. Please upload the entire race. Very interesting / entertaining. Thanks for your continuous / new uploads. Love watching them :)
When there are an empty "chunk" of time as you called it, don't cut it out - just let us know via text on screen. Example: The next 10 minutes or so i'm alone on the track, fast forward to 30:50 for action. Or whatever. Great racing btw!
Hey I have some advice; at 10:59 on your way into turn 1, you began to use a certain breaking/steering technique that allowed you to get a faster corner entry. If you can practice those techniques and get that down consistently, it'll improve your times by a hellava lot. It's an extremely risky and difficult technique to master but if you can do it, you'll be fast as shit.
hey empty box what is your feedback setup, mine are almost to 100%, im using thrustmaster tx ferrari 458 stearing wheel and pedals, and my rig is conquer racing, its a descent setup, costed me a prity penny, but its better then nothing, im still learing on the breaking part, its killing me lol.
Another belated comment: I enjoyed watching all 47:40 of this race. And I definitely learned some things from all that lapped traffic trying to get out of your way by stopping in the apexes: that is, don't stop in the apexes. :P
Good video Matt ! The hpd is so fun to drive and hard to push to the limit. I think this is my most baddly race mainly when i go out the track (18 min) hit the wall and the game eject my car in reverse. Nice win Francois
Honestly upload your videos any length you see fit. It's your time being used to do it, and if you do choose to put up longer races, us, as the viewers have to ability to seek forward if we choose to :)
That was me on your gearbox the first 14 laps. Until that guy on lap 14 came back on track and demolished me! This was the start of my HPD career!
If you leave it in, I can skip it (which clearly I don't). If you take it out, I can't watch it.
I like watching you even when things are going good. I learn stuff just by hearing you comment on how took a random corner or passed some lapped traffic.
You make some good commentary as well for a guy with nothing to talk about in the race. Don't change the format. It works.
Dont cut them! I really like to see the full length race!
Even though this video is more than 2 years old, I'm still gonna "give my mustard to it" (literal translation of a german saying). I think cutting out chunks of the race where nothing happens is like spoiling the outcome of a race like "wait for lap so-and-so, somethings gonna happen".

+Kirschengulasch The boring bits stay. :)
same I like it, what wheel did u use?
Polar Gaming
Fanatec CSW.
+Kirschengulasch I agree! Also, if I'm on youtube watching other peoples races chances are I'm not in a time-crunch of any sort =p
+Jon Phillips This is true for me as well :D

I find it soothing, some people listen to classical music, i watch countless laps of nothing happening on iRacing.
Or you can do both!
Whoops, totally missed the response so I thought you were having an issue with the pedals in iRacing (doh!) rather than talking about ICR2.
I'll consider giving it a whirl if I find time.
No, not likely either as DTM is done through the series itself (not manufacturers) so it is way too expensive for too little return.
I say don't cut it. I use these to learn from. Also what capture do you use? I tried using Frame Rate Automatic Pisser otherwise known as Fraps. But, either my cards can't handle it or, it takes up to muchof my CPU (ADM quad core) to run it.
if you have nvidia, use shadowplay. 10/10 absolutely no fps drops whatsoever because it's done through hardware, not software.
Honestly, the highlights videos take about 5x longer to do, so not likely. :(
Love the dynamics in this game but just takes forever to get going and I also know nothing about car setup so I always feel I'm going in wrong. Also it's kinda pricey for a casual race...

Does ICR2 work with a modern wheel?
In response to your question Matt, please don't cut the footage. It's awesome as it is. Cheers mate.

THANKYOU AGAIN
i like to see the entire race!
HPD is my joint. Im running the HDF for LS and you hit the nail on the head with concentration. Im running in the 12s and its tiring to keep that pace up. Great driving.

I don't know how you do it, comment and race at the same time, great work. Can't wait to start my iracing career, hope to race you one day.
Oh god almighty, Bira Martini, what a horrible driver. Must have lapped him/her like 8 times, we were both in HPDs and I finished 7th....
Dont take out the "boring" parts please! Its a part of racing, and lets the video be long enough so i can get sidetracked from my homework for long enough haha
Hey EmptyBox, what was your avg. lap time? and how fast do you think i have to be to compete in that series? atm im running mid 1:15s
NO. DONT BE FOOLISH EMPTY. let them click to miss your driving . I enjoy watching your rythum from beginning to end.
Ford GT all the way. That car is a dream to drive. I think its better anyway to start multiclass racing in the lower class.
I thought I was the only one who felt the MX5 was a dog. Seriously, I'd rather the V8 supercar be the rookie car than the mx5
Hi Matt, Please Please Please don't cut anything out of you're racing video's Please. I really like them ALOT! I watch ALL of them I find. I'm trying to learn the way you run a lap on the different tracks. It's show me just how to drive, I'm no where close to skill level. These are very eductional for us new drivers. Thanks.
I need you to teach me how to road race bro. I've got oval down and have plenty of wins in all the oval series but I suck at road racing
I'm agreeing with everyone else. Please upload the entire race. Very interesting / entertaining. Thanks for your continuous / new uploads. Love
watching them :)
After watching a 60 fps video on Gamespot and coming back to TH-cam's 30 fps cap, you can really tell the difference.
i would prefer that you let the "boring bits" in, maybe you could make an annotation saying "next action bit at x:xx!"
I appreciated the uncut footage of the entire race, Not having a change to have played yet I enjoyed the entire video, thanks.
When there are an empty "chunk" of time as you called it, don't cut it out - just let us know via text on screen. Example: The next 10 minutes or so i'm alone on the track, fast forward to 30:50 for action. Or whatever. Great racing btw!
Don't cut it out! If you can, add a skip point for the boring stuff, but I like watching the whole race though.
Hey I have some advice; at 10:59 on your way into turn 1, you began to use a certain breaking/steering technique that allowed you to get a faster corner entry. If you can practice those techniques and get that down consistently, it'll improve your times by a hellava lot. It's an extremely risky and difficult technique to master but if you can do it, you'll be fast as shit.
hey empty box what is your feedback setup, mine are almost to 100%, im using thrustmaster tx ferrari 458 stearing wheel and pedals, and my rig is conquer racing, its a descent setup, costed me a prity penny, but its better then nothing, im still learing on the breaking part, its killing me lol.
I dont mind if you just let it run. Usually you come up with some advice at any time. Thanks for the vid..
Another belated comment: I enjoyed watching all 47:40 of this race. And I definitely learned some things from all that lapped traffic trying to get out of your way by stopping in the apexes: that is, don't stop in the apexes. :P
Good video Matt ! The hpd is so fun to drive and hard to push to the limit. I think this is my most baddly race mainly when i go out the track (18 min) hit the wall and the game eject my car in reverse.
Nice win
Francois
Don't cut anything out,people can always skip what they want.Seeing the entire race is so much more fun
Don't cut the vids. For a newbie like me it's nice to see how someone who knows how to race does it.
Your consistency is so impressive. How long did it take you to get there? Really enjoyed watching the video :)
agree with skobionly. Just in description list good bits with the time x:xx if there were any.
i prefer you dont cut out the "boring" parts. only time i like it is during yellow on ovals. :D
Honestly upload your videos any length you see fit. It's your time being used to do it, and if you do choose to put up longer races, us, as the viewers have to ability to seek forward if we choose to :)
Don't cut it out, but a annotation leading to the next action might be interesting to some.
man, 40+ mins of straight racing with no bathroom breaks! nice. you probably aren't drinking beer, haha
Like your discussions about line and breaking etc, stuff to keep you motivated during the non competitive times on the course.
All your laps are better than mine so watching "boring laps" still gives me entertainment and teaches me stuff. fyi
Great driving mate, Great Win! Don't cut nothing out, its a joy to watch the whole race
Never cut anything. Whats the point, the parts with not much going on is part of racing.
Been watching your vids all day. You seem like you have fun with these. Subbed.
HPD, Vette, or Ford GT...which do you prefer? Only want to buy one. I'm thinking Corvette.
i am totally new to racing but what happens if you crash with the guy nxt to you on accident? do you get disqualified?
did you actually get damage from the start? and no do not cut it its awesome :)
NO EDITS.
For the complainers, simple time stamps would suffice I would think.
i think you should show us your racing setup at 5k subs :) anyone else agree?
Gene broke the lap record in a 2004 Ferrari at a Corse Clienti thing. I Fink.
Please don't edit I like to see the whole race its's great watching you catch and pass back markers.
The fastest lap ever at Mazda Laguna Seca is1:05.786 in a 2003 Ferrari F1.
im just starting out and i think it would really helpful to watch you run a few laps of the mx-5 cup
I hate Laguna Seca, top of the hill bites me alot. But its still fun when you have a good room.
I find it funny how you are keeping up with this GT in front on your in lap :D
I'm Robert Tinsey in the race. I get taken out by that crazy person!
