ACC | Cars That Go BUMP in the Night! LFM GT3 @ Watkins Glen

[@MOTORHEAD.Sim.Racing]

A great race Chris, alot of fun. signed Dave Grant 😜

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thanks once again Dave, it was a pleasure doing battle with you! Hope to see you on another grid again soon mate 😃

[@SimRacerGT973]

Damn bro, my jaw dropped when you passed Grant on the outside of the bus stop 😮Fantastic move Chris, have a great time on Holiday and be safe 👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate! Yeah I’d never normally have attempted that move! And doubt I will again in a hurry 🤣

[@IcedCubes98]

Lovely race. Just wondering how you snuck a lambo in a Mclaren vs Ferrari race :^)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha yeah! McLarens and Ferraris are pretty much the only cars people choose in LFM these days!

[@daviddavies3637]

Brilliant move at the end there. 9 times out of 10 it ends in a smash, so the pair of you did well to avoid what should have been inevitable.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, 9 times out of 10 I wouldn’t even have considered trying it. But we’d gone through that loop two wide twice already, safely, so I had confidence we’d both leave each other just enough space. It was tight, for sure!

[@lincolnklayvr]

Nice overtake at the bus stop , it looked risky , scary and desperate but well played

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, normally I’d never even have attempted it. But we’d already gone two wide through there twice, and it was clean both times, so I had confidence we’d both leave each other just enough space. It was tight… and probably not a move I’ll try again in a hurry!

[@raggiezockt]

Nice battle with grand, nice racing from you and him, respected each others room and no one destroyed it. Must be a very heartbeating race xD. Commentary as always superb.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you, yeah it was a great race to be involved in. I almost didn’t enter it when I saw it was a night race, but I’m glad I did.

[@stormforce9521]

Lovely racing my friend, these LFM races are definitely edge of the seat participation and watching. Enjoy your holiday. 👏

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Tony, yeah I’ve had some decent races lately, and this was another really good one. Proper battling, done the right way! Cheers 🍻

[@vikingpsg]

Nice pass at the end there. Huge cahonnes! 😁

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha cheers, to be honest I’d never usually go for that pass, but we’d already gone through the loop two-wide twice and both left each other the space, so I felt it was do-able. But yeah, normally I wouldn’t be that aggressive 🤣 cheers

[@Ben_LaBroca]

What a cracking overtake on the last lap!! Brilliant racing!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thanks Ben. I must admit, the main reason I held on to this race video for future publishing is because I was so pleased with that overtake 🤣

[@ericjack3218]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Three battles through the Bus Stop! And nobody died! Great race, Chris. I love Watkins Glen. It's fast and flowing and fun to drive. But whenever I race there, I always seem to have some sort of grief! My last attempt saw me get DQed for speeding in the pits after getting punted just before entering the pit lane. Hopefully my next go at the Glen will be more like yours!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha, what an unlucky way to get a DQ! I love Watkins Glen too, I always have good pace but usually struggle to find ways to overtake there. However the Lambo felt a bit quicker than when I used to drive the BMW or Ferrari… gave me that bit extra oooomph needed!

[@JamestwoscoopsWestley]

Great racing, great pace, commentary unbeatable ❤

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you James! Cheers for watching mate, glad you enjoyed it 🍻

[@amateurgtdriver]

That last lap overtake on the busstop could've ended very badly but both you and D. Grant were driving very respectevily. Great work and another great video!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I’ve seen so many races ended with people trying that move, so I knew it had to be really precise. And because we’d already done that corner two-wide twice, I felt able to do it safely. Such a relief it didn’t end in disaster!

[@nock-racing]

Good job Chris, and congrats to Argyle. I'm sure you're over the moon to keep your place in the Championship!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh very much so, that final day was incredibly stressful! Cheers mate

[@Walt1119]

Great run there Chris and a big gutsy move the last lap! Thanks for sharing w us, hope ur holiday is great!!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Walt, I needed some holiday beers to recover after that overtake 🤣cheers

[@Mudux]

Your racecraft improved so much since I started watching you. Really well done.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, appreciate that. Yeah I have been working hard to become a bit more streetwise 👍

[@blanktyler4256]

What an overtake at the end Chris! Great race! Have a great/safe trip!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you! Yeah one of my best passes, for sure. Huge credit to the other driver too, I knew I was in safe hands battling him 😃 Cheers

[@pappyracing]

Nice race Chris, Great pass on the last lap.

[@woodcote7617]

great racing Chris. It is great to see you getting a good race in. Good job sir👍

[@TugboatTony]

way to hang it out on the outside in the inner loop. best pass ive seen in a while there. great race and enjoy your vacation

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you. I’ve seen so many races end in disaster trying that move, but the other guy was driving impeccably safely. So it was a rare chance to try it. I doubt I’ll try it again any time soon 🤣

[@adpr5278]

nice one. thanks for sharing.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

My pleasure, cheers for watching

[@Tomo-bm5lw]

Superb racing Chris great overtaking looked great fun have a good holiday 😎

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Tomo. Need a few holiday beers after doing that race 🤣

[@MichaelNaydeck]

Kudos to you and D. Grant! Great racing

[@MrMiniPilote]

That was a good race. What an interesting night race. Thanks for the content.

[@ashtonmark24]

Great overtake, enjoy your hols! 🎉

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, I’m doing my best 🍺 🍺

[@ThomasRaceEngineering]

Fantastic driving mate, great move on the last lap.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thanks Joe!

[@depitónapitón2258]

Another great race, Chris. Congrats mate.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate 🍻

[@ArmandoMendozaIII]

Another great race, Chris! Couple things: Did you consider reporting the T1 incident? I understand if they messaged an apology after the race and all would be well, but the rear-ending seemed a little more than an honest miscalculation on their end. Great composure and saves throughout the race! I know for certain I'd crash out in any of those scenarios just by watching them in this video. Did you notice if Watkins Glen has worse tire deg than the other tracks?

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Hey, actually I didn’t think to protest in the end, only because I didn’t lose any position or time. I did get some rear damage but it didn’t seem to slow my lap times. But I agree, it was a very big miscalculation of T1 speed… he would have seen my brake lights on, and he had plenty of space to react. But luckily, no harm done. After that, it was an excellent race. Cheers 😃

[@EhPlusSimRacing]

Great race! Enjoy your vacation!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, I’m doing my best 🍻🍻

[@nieko3038]

Proper racing at night.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, first time I’ve tried it on ACC and it wasn’t as scary as I thought it’d be 🤣

[@TheEloim_]

Crazy move

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, it’s not one I’d try again in a hurry! But going two-wide twice already, and them both being so clean, I thought it was worth a gamble.

[@TomAndrewsSimRacing]

how does ACC and low fuel motorsport work? is it easy to set up?

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

It’s pretty simple yeah. When you join, your LFM account gets paired with your Steam log-in. Then you just register for a race, get the server name/password from the registration screen and join the split you’ve been assigned. You do have to get a licence first though, which is a hot lap test on a special licence server…. a certain number of clean laps, each within a specified lap time.
