Unlucky ending, I was expecting something like that on lap 1 at this track.

People in wss just cant drive, They just ruin your race almost everytime

Your not wrong Nick.. if I am out so is the next person it happens all the time unluck mate.

Ouch! That was a painful end to the race Nick. I think you would have had a good race had the incident not happened. I tend to take 2 or 3 laps to settle in and don't worry about position and then just try to do consistent laps and avoid the carnage. Sometimes however the carnage finds you no matter what. On to the next one.

Great rally after your incident. 💯 Locked in

Typical lap 1 carnage at Giles Villeneurve. You were lucky not to have a meatball there Nick as the Radical tends to fall apart very easily.

Well that was a spectacular start to the race, did well survive that race with a damaged car.

This car looks so hard to drive Nick.. it doesn't help when you get damage so early on in a race. question ? what would you say you fav combo is ??

Been on the service for a few weeks now and finally felt confident enough in my skill this weekend to jump into some races, out of 5 I managed 4 podiums! I hear someone say the best way to launch is to just hold 100% throttle and clutch, change into first and dump the clutch on green, has been working for me.

Seems I am not the only one that talks himself into trouble. Good to see you enjoying the Mazda.

All about shift up points and being in the right gear at the right time. Poor little Clio only has a small light pressure turbo and starts running out of puff at 5400rpm.

Unlicky Nick. The Clio can be tricky and you have to keep the momentum up or it dies. I've sent you some info in a Discord DM which hopefully will help.

Think you spoke too soon Nick when you said you wanted to survive 😳I have tried this track an handful of times and always loose SR and IR. so I think I need to practice it more, Pity about the IR mate next race you'll get it👍

Well done Nick. I think the back marker just distracted you a little and interupted your flow. Still a good result though.

Getting old, those brain farts are getting more common 😅

Good drive Nick. Shame about the last lap. You did well avoiding the L1 crash.

When there is nearly 3k difference in rating there is not much you can do except hope that a GR86 would wipe him out. Still a very nice result though 🏁

Nice racing! Hope to see you in one of these throughout the week

Wow great dodge on lap one Last lap, well I'm sure you've heard the expression "don't count your chickens until they hatch". It's good we are reminded of this while in a rookies race so next time when it matters you will bring it home to the checker I wish they used this layout more. Both of the chicanes are more fun than the original corners. If Lime Rock was a final boss this would be it's ultimate form

That ending to the first lap was spectacular, as for the last lap even Jim sounded deflated after that. Next time.

Well done Nick that was a good result. Nice to see you keeping your head under pressure. Last couple of laps just let you down a little but it was all good in the end.

Now I can see why I was struggling for pace. I was racing in a frosty winters day and you are in a nice bright summers day. 🤔😳

Good result, got to love being behind lapped cars when they start fighting and nock each other off the track.

Double green finish is not to be sniffed at Nick. You were doing well till you started to watch the mirrors then it sort of messed your head up a bit. Getting better though so that's a bonus.

Another great video and what a race mate😂..i had a bit of a caotic race here this morning on the gt4's,forst lap was absolute carnage

your having bad week mate.. you did well to miss the car going wrong way I thought it was all considering you did well to finish where you did 👍

It's crazy to close the gap to the cars in front in multi class. It's just asking for throuble. Not too bad a result in the end Nick.

Very evenful race Nick .. dont we just love this series . On to the next one

Any time you survive a Mazda race is a good result. Well done.

You can't win them all Nick. I'd just be happy to get the odd top 5! 😂 I don't like this track as it doesn't seem to flow very well to me.

Hey is there a specific time to join these races, I've heard there isn't too much participation so I was wondering if its like the lotus 79 or imsa vintage

Just got excited and thunder footed it, and dropped a golden opportunity. Next time 🏁

He has room and has commited to inside so needs to accept a tighter entry, you dont need to give any more room than he has . Its often easy to think you are further past than ypu actually are. Sounds like a decent chap though!

We should do a group hosted session and all practice some hard, no consequence racing! Would be a good laugh i think.

Great points Nick. I try and get a few races a week in and each season i say i will branch out a little more. But work and family mean that i have to take the chances i can. I dont like to race when i am not prepared. If i lose points thats ok but i dont want to impact other drivers races - it could be their only chance that week also. Dont be too concerned with people with bigger irating - not everyone has 3 hours plus per day free time to grind. And its a lot easier to lose 100 IR than gain it with a few bad choices or rushing into a race that you are not prepared for. I appreciate the people that treat the sim and others with the respect due and do prepare for a race where possible. And it doesnt really get better with stronger fields - it can be worse!

Those Assetto Corsa curbs will get you every time 🏁

Unlucky Nick. However I award you 20 style points for the drift round T1. 😉

I know exctly how you feel Nick. I find I am more aggressive against the AI that other players and believe it's because I don't want to ruin someone's race. I think a lot of people have a different mind set and don't mind if they crash other people out so long as they get the position. A lot of the high rated drivers you will find exclusively race one car which obviously makes them very good in that car and helps them gain IR. My main problem is my age as my reactions and descision making isn't as fast as it once was so I tend to keep my distance from the car in front and lose any oppoutunity for a surprise move.

Crazy! I used to watch you play portal 2 mods on twitch years ago pleasure to have found you again

It could have been worse Nick. Of course it could have been much better but it is what it is. 😞

Special episode of Too Many Nicks Sim Racing. He was right though, that was a sick pass

That was an eventful race Nick... you didn't deserve the spin on the sharp right hander that was a race full of Nicks 🤣🤣 you all had your little train going on. if you want to see an eventful race mate watch my part 2 of PCC

Well, that was an interesting end to the race 😳🤣

Unfortunate Nick. He certainly drifted across towards you and at the time you were also slowly drifting towards the outside, so he didn't leave enough racing room for you. These sorts of things happen in the heat of battle unfortunately. At the end of the day non of us are professional racing drivers and we are always learning.

thats on him mate ...it's why cars have side mirrors is'nt it??

You wasn't wrong about it being interesting Nick.. very enjoyable watch when the gloves where out. But it all was sorted in the end and Chris could have just left the game, He did apologise good on him for that even though you where in the right mate.

Time for the popcorn 🍿

Glad Chris apologised as you did nothing wrong. His excuse being that he couldn't see you is no excuse at all. It's why you have a spotter, and are forced to map buttons to look left and right. He hopefully learned a few lessons here today.

Well done Nick. Nice steady consistent laps paid off. I think the ragged bit was because you were busy checking the relative and just lost your concentration a bit.

Now you see him now you don't its not good when we have a blinker in a race, nice racing mate, we all like double green 👍bit of observation you might need to turn your ffb down a bit it was clipping a bit at certain points of your race.
