[@tomr200199]

Great stuff, have basically just binge watched all you videos. Love it, but hope you don't mind me asking just three things?! 1 - Have you tried or considered flipping the rear view, so that it works like if we were looking up at a mirror, not using a rear facing camera? I keep getting thrown by which side of you cars are, it seems if flipped vertically it would be far more intuitive? 2 - Could you make a complete balls up of some of your qualifying runs so we can watch you come through from like 10th?!!! 3 - Have you tried iRacing, it's all I can afford (!) and sims are getting better and better by the day, perhaps you should try it out?!!

[@BenR22]

Haha flipping the mirror.... Its odd as when I'm editing I can't work with it flipped... It confuses my brain much like its probably doing to yours. I can try. I've had a few poor quali sessions where that has happened, but I don't think it'll go down well if I do it on purpose haha. And I've tried some sim work, oddly enough, it makes me motion sick! Haha

[@tomr200199]

@@BenR22 Ha interesting, it'll probably confuse me both ways then! Yeah, VR in particular screwed me up, but only for the first hour or two, drivers genuinely using it as a tool these days if you can get your sea legs!!

hi, just found you channel, top class racing, do you have any info on the car etc anywhere.

[@davidmoss8993]

just watched the k24 dc2 vid, that car looks the biz, reminds me of the 90s touring car years before it got silly.

[@BenR22]

Not a full walk around yet, people have been asking and I keep promising. But when I do it, I'm never happy with the results.

[@Jims_racing]

Fantastic result again buddy!!👌🏼🙏🏼 One question, why do you keep it tight over the mountain? Is it because theres less of a crest? Secondly just looking at your driving position, have you thought about maybe bringing the wheel out 20/30mm towards you? From the angle of the video it looks like that might benefit...? Especially in the 2nd gear hairpin when theres more than a “cross” of lock. Then again if you’re comfy you’re comfy! 🤩 Thirdly, from what i could see from the brief moment in the video, i agree... her kids wont starve. Look forward to the next one mate 🤘🏼😎

[@BenR22]

😂 I keep it tight as it cuts a few meters off the circuit, you don't run the risk of using the grass as the circuit kinks as you crest, and if you get a good exit you're already positioned for the inside and nowt they can do about it. I don't like close steering wheels and the feeling of my elbows tucking down. I don't like crossing my arms as you've only got one turn of lock to make a save before you have to take hands off and reposition. Keeping one hand on the wheel allows me to maintain reference of how many turns of lock I've got on. And I sit so far back that the steering column has been extended and I've got 120mm of steering wheel spacers on.

[@Jims_racing]

Ben Rushworth great! Ill try that line the next time im there! 👍🏼 Fair play with the wheel and position, asni say if your comfy, your comfy! 😎🤘🏼

Common comment. It's fine and I don't struggle, I'm more comfortable this way than having the wheel close to me. I've already for 120mm of spacers on the coloum and it's dropped a huge amount as I sit so far back and low.
