ACC | Hells Bells… I Didn’t Want THIS! LFM GT3 @ Red Bull Ring

It’s the end of another Low Fuel Motorsport season in Assetto Corsa Competizione, and it’s been a hugely successful one for me. I’ve picked up my first two ACC LFM race wins, and I’ve really improved since switching to the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2.
Today, it’s time to finish the Go Setups GT3 Sprint series at the Red Bull Ring. I’ve only just got back from a week in Vienna, and today I’m going straight back to Austria the virtual way for this LFM ACC race.
But will it be as exciting as my actual trip? I was in Austria to see AC/DC at the Ernst Happel Stadion, and it was fantastic. Yeah… I couldn’t resist the video title and thumbnail!
I’m starting down in P13 for this one, and it’s safe to say it didn’t end up as I’d expected…

[@jamesbryant8133]

You are a moral race driver and i love that. You also got a great voice for narrating a race as well. Your content is much more interesting then sweaty try hards that always think they are doing hit laps. Keep going son 🫡

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you James! Appreciate those kind words mate, cheers 😃

[@brentweir4651]

That race took Big Balls Chris!! The wreck wasn't your fault in my view. Gap was there, you had to Shoot to Thrill, and there's no way he could've got back to the inside. Red Bull Ring can be a Highway to Hell sometimes. Good to have you Back in Black!!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Excellent work! 🤘 🎸 Thank you mate, yeah I think it was just an unlucky incident in the end. I didn’t expect for him to slide and oversteer like that, and it cost me.

[@Drew-Peacock]

Nice start to my Saturday.. a coffee and a CR video ❤

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Excellent! Glad to be of service ☕️💥😃

[@cZINE77]

Same here! 😊

[@kevinsalazar7008]

Okay, you just got...THUNDERSTRUCK! 😂😂😂😂

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha yes! I think we both did! ⚡️

[@LeePetchey]

I've been watching your videos on ACC for a while now and it really got me back into the game/sim. I've learnt to race entirely differently and now barely grab the wheel for anything else! It's just so much more challenging but enjoyable. I kept hearing about LFM but found out it's not available for console, so have joined a similar league/service in XCL. Two races in and it's an absolute game changer! Just here to say: thanks mate!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Brilliant! Great to hear you’ve found a platform to help you get the most out of the sim. It makes such a difference. I doubt I’d ever touch ACC without LFM, but now it’s usually my go-to sim. Good luck!

[@SlowToPro]

Great video Mr. Rogers! I absolutely love the way you look to take responsibility for every incident! Even when a wreck isn't our 'fault' it's good to look at what we may have done to avoid it in the future. Being right doesn't keep our car out of the fence.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Exactly! Even when a crash isn’t your fault, you can pretty much guarantee that there’s something you can find from it, to learn from and help keep you safer if a similar thing happens in the future 👍

[@timwhitman3207]

Good racing! After that spin you guys were looking a bit... Thunderstruck. 😉

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha yes! ⚡️🤘 Thank you Tim, cheers for watching

[@Walt1119]

It was still a crackin race there Chris! Still moving up, thanks for sharing with us!!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Walt!

[@grahamdennis2810]

Hi chris going Wembley sunday keep rocking 🎸🎸🎸

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Graham, I’m very jealous! I’d love to go again this weekend! I missed out on Wembley tickets when they went on sale, which is why I went for the European dates instead. You’ll love it. You’re about to rock, I salute you!

[@simonkingracing]

You are one of my favorite to follow.... your creation are simply perfect..... wish i could do the same. See you on track 😉

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Simon, that’s very kind of you to say. Keep up the good work

[@K-ward]

Chris's is on the naughty step, bad luck mate. 🤭

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha yeah, it’s not often I go there, but sometimes it’s inevitable 🤣

[@kevbarber]

Unlucky end but an exciting race to watch.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Kev, yeah I was really disappointed to end it like that, as it had the potential to be a really exciting final 10 minutes.

[@SteveHARDWATER]

I guess you'll be riding the razors edge this time

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha yes, you guessed right! ⚡️

[@jua288]

Like so much your streams, Chris. This one was those ones in which responsability is not 100% on one of the drivers. The gap was there. The thing is why it was (the other guy lost the car), so it was predictable that ending. The matter is being aware of that in the heat of fight.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Exactly. I’m usually pretty good in anticipating what other drivers are doing around me, but I totally missed his mistake at the time. It was only when I saw the replay that I realised what had happened. One to learn from!

[@jester3265]

Allo Buddy, aahh what a shame, everything was just coming together. Still a great race to watch, have a great weekend.👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh mate I know, I reckon the final 10 minutes could have been awesome. Just made the wrong choice at the wrong time. It was good while it lasted! Cheers Lee, you too mate

[@doodlebeanz5634]

Good race Chris, I do feel the Ferrari was visiting the grass no matter what in that situation so don’t feel too bad for the bump. 👍🏻

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I’ve been trying to work out whether he would have saved it or not. I’m not sure he would have either, without going onto the grass. Once I’d seen the replay, it did ease my guilt a little bit 🤣

[@sorrowandsufferin924]

It's an ACC race normally, but it's an AC-DCC race today

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha damn right! ⚡️

[@SamToulouse]

Yeah, sometimes you just touch too much, but to be fair, sometimes it feels like you are driving on black ice and these races are as dangerous as a live wire but it is good to see you back in business and driving on the razor's edge but not breaking the rules. (ACDC songs are pretty suitable for driving puns...)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Cracking effort, that, good job! You’re right, loads of potential… reckon I could get my next 50 thumbnails/titles out of them 🤣

[@raggiezockt]

What a race , the Ferrari was definitely spinning in. But mistakes happen, you saw an opportunity, i would take this as an race incident. But nice racing. You did good with your pace.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you. Yeah sometimes you’ve gotta take a chance and go for it. I’m trying to be more attacking than I used to be. Sometimes it doesn’t go to plan!

[@stormforce9521]

Don't go beating yourself up over that incident, you just happened to be in the wrong place, he had already lost control at the point of contact. Onwards and upwards my friend. 👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Tony, yeah I did feel less guilty when I saw the replays afterwards. At the time, I was 100% sure I punted him! But from my cockpit, I couldn’t tell he was already losing the rear and spinning in. It explained why the gap disappeared way quicker than I was expecting! Definitely just one of those things that happens in racing. Every other lap , I’d hung back at those corners… it was just very bad luck that this happens on the lap I decided to try and apply more pressure 🤣

[@theashenfox]

The Ferrari spun on its own Chris and hit you.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, yeah I don’t even realise that was happening at the time, but the replay sure did make me feel a bit less guilty!

[@Wilayaat]

Great video, driving ability AND choice of band 🙂

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Triple whammy! Cheers mate, thanks for watching 😃

[@lewisgordon1490]

An honest mistake. When I saw that gap, I noticed him turning in more and thought it was a risky move on your part, but I've done the same thing plenty of times😏

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yep. The frustrating thing is, on all the previous laps I didn’t try anything like that. But as we got past the halfway point of the race, I started telling my seo that I need to start putting more pressure on them… otherwise I’m just going to tour around behind them for the rest of the race. I just picked the wrong gap to try and attack 🤣

[@gmanuk1986]

Good race, that Ferrari was already on his way to the grass it was just unfortunate you got caught up in it aswell

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, it made me feel far less guilty when I saw that on the replay afterwards! Just unfortunate I chose to apply pressure in the gap at the wrong time!

[@neiledwards6149]

Looks like he needs more T/C. It’s more important on the Ferrari than other GT3’s because of the power delivery. Not your fault at all. I wish you could do running commentary on my races. It sounds exciting. All I get is”Jim” telling me to do better.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Neil, yeah it was a bit of a relief when I saw the replay and saw him losing control. Made me feel less guilty 🤣 and explained why the gap I thought was there, disappeared so quickly!

[@ibro68]

Hells Bells Chris 😂 those Dirty Deeds done Dirt Cheap

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha they certainly were in this race!

[@woodcote7617]

Thanks

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Nij, you legend! Thank you so much, my friend. Most appreciated. Cheers ❤️

[@petermartin5197]

Was that a touch to much mate😆 No seriously not on you at all great racing once again just a bit unlucky, and as you know it's a long way to the top😀

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha it was indeed! Yeah it was just bad luck really, I took a gamble at exactly the same moment as he started to lose control. Unfortunate timing!

[@Hiroschima]

I swapped from the Maclaren to the Aston this week for red Bull ring, found it a really tough track compared to cota and had similar experiences to you here Chris. Feel for you with this one, season 15 soon we can start fresh 😂

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah I always find this track tough to lap consistently. It’s so easy to lose a lot of time through the middle part. Looking forward to the new season. Reckon I’ll stick with the Lambo for another season, as it’s served me so well in this one. Cheers 😃

[@bradkinsey1547]

Looks like a straight up racing incident, the Ferrari lost grip and you got collected. Maybe you could have maintained your position, avoiding pressuring him, or had a chance avoiding him when he started spinning. Big of you to stay open to your responsibility with the incident, that needs to happen more. As they say, "It's a long way to the top when you wanna Rock and Roll!"

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, every other lap I’d stayed safely behind. But I was getting to the point of the race where I was going to need to push a bit harder if I was going to make any further progress. So I decided to go for it… just unlucky that it as at exactly the same time as he was starting to lose it 🤣 Bonus point for the reference too, one of my favourites!

[@TheFlying-Scotsman]

Love ACDC, but was in Munich recently for Metallica so no money left to go see ACDC. Good race up till the incident, I'd put it down to just a racing incident. You went for a gap that he chose to close by spinning 😅.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Metallica are one of tge bands remaining on my bucket list that I’ve not had chance to see yet. Would love to. But yeah it’s an expensive hobby, gigs, these days. Wembley tickets for AC/DC were crazy expensive… the cost of my Vienna ticket AND flights was cheaper than one Wembley ticket.

[@TheFlying-Scotsman]

@@chrisrogerssimracing you need to go see them, they were fantastic. Cost us about 200€ just for the 2 concerts and then add flights + accommodation + beer. First time I saw ACDC, I don't think it was even a tenner, mind you that was 1986, though I was front row.

[@grahamdennis2810]

We salute you🎸🎸🎸

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Legend! Thank you. Have a great day on Sunday. The Pretty Reckless are very good too 😃

[@firstjayjay]

Had to go to bed late last night. I should have known better 😴🙄😜🙏😋👍

[@samgaskellracing]

Great video Chris 👏

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Sam!

[@JimboyVerano245]

Maybe he forgot to crank the TC up after turn 2 (I personally turn down TC going into turn 2 then turn it up after)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah he’d looked quite loose on a couple of the previous corners, and had previously been up as high as third, so I’m guessing he was having some troubles with control/stability.

[@simonoregan4744]

How was ACDC ? Love them. Even all of the Bon Scott stuff. Actually usually fire up some ACDC when I'm turning laps. Nothing like the sound of a V8 engine and ACDC

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh mate it was brilliant. Definitely can’t beat a bit of AC/DC! It was my second time seeing them… first time was a good 15 years ago. I’m feeling a bit older these days, absolutely knackered by the end of Wednesday’s gig! Still recovering now 🤣

[@spamoner]

its more like TNT greetz from Berlin

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

… watch me explode! 🤣 Thank you mate, cheers

[@ericjack3218]

Too bad, Chris! It was looking so great up until the incident. But don't be too hard on yourself. I don't think you did anything wrong. It was a racing incident, not anything malicious by you or your wrongdoing. He was already losing control, and would likely have spun out all by himself if you weren't there to tag him. Things like that happen. Looking forward to the next race!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I actually got a message from the guy earlier. He said he’d picked up big damage, which is why he was dropping back. Said he was trying to stay out wide so I could get past safely, but the car didn’t play ball!

[@beardalyankovic]

Lovely start to a weekend. Shame about the race Chris, it was a touch too much.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha spot on 🎸 Can’t believe I didn’t think of that one during the voiceover!

Back in Black from Vienna then! You need Big Balls, with a Send for the Man move like that so expect to get Shot Down in Flames and Go Down when you try the Ruff Stuff. R.I.P. but please no Wild Reputation from CR Sim Racing Don't Give it Up and have a Meltdown. Ride on. Stand Up, Shake a Leg and get Back in Business. Stick Around and Have a Drink on Me

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Here’s a man who knows his AC/DC! And an extra bonus point for referencing my one of my lesser known favourites, Have A Drink On Me 🍺 which they played at the gig, and I was very excited about it! Cheers Nij

[@europer67]

Not your fault, 20 to you 80 to him. He left the door open and wanted to close it and lost control

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

I’ll take that split! Was a bit of a needless move on my part, very unlikely it would have resulted in an overtake. At best, it would have given me the inside for the next corner… but then the outside for the rest of the lap. Just really bad luck that I happened to go for it at the exact same time he was losing it!

[@daviddavies3637]

That one wasn't on you. He left a gap initially that you were entitled to go for. Just unfortunate that he had the oversteer. Without that, you'd have been in position for the next turn.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I was 100% anticipating that the gap was there, due to him being forced out wider. At the time, I couldn’t see the oversteer from the cockpit so felt it was 100% on me. But the replays did help to ease my guilt a little bit, when I saw his spin, and the angle his car was facing before the contact. It explains why the gap disappeared WAY quicker than I was expecting it to! It’s frustrating, because every other lap I held back and was quite cautious. Then, the one time I decide to apply pressure, it ends in tears 🤣

[@MortenBredesen]

Nice race! I think you both made a (small) mistake, it happens all the time, just move on 😊

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yes, exactly right. A racing incident when two drivers are battling hard. At the time, I felt 100% to blame because I thought I’d poked my nose into a gap that wasn’t there. But then on the replay, I could see he was also losing control… if he wasn’t sliding, we probably would have been ok. But still, as the driver behind, I’m happy to take the main share of the blame 🤣

[@malcolmhepburn999]

Acca Dacca, 🤘

[@db-mp2of]

Saw them in the early 90's in SoCal USA Quite entertaining Rush also one of my favorite bands, especially Live

[@firstjayjay]

Race was really going well. Shame, but think it would be qualified as an incident.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, on balance, I think so too. At the time, I was 100% convinced it was all on me. But when I saw the replays, I realised he was trying to save a spin… which made me feel a bit better, as it explained why the gap disappeared way quicker than I was expecting it to! It was still a poor decision by me though, the reward wasn’t really worth the risk… it wasn’t an overtaking opportunity, and I did it purely to apply some pressure. Never mind… you win some, you lose some!

[@lowfastracing]

Why he flashed, it was obviously his fault... If you lost traction in a fast corner when someone's behind, this will happen. He ruined your race because he don't know how to drive his car safe.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahhh cool, you think his flashing was an apology? I didn’t think of that… I assumed it was angry flashing to call me a **** 🤣 at the time, from my cockpit, I didn’t see the spin or the oversteer. But the replay did explain why the gap disappeared WAY quicker than I expected it to! Unfortunate incident. I did send him an apology also on LFM afterwards, but I have not heard from him to get his thoughts. Cheers 😃

[@lowfastracing]

@@chrisrogerssimracing that's what i said too, he was angry for you after his own mistake. One of the reasons why i quit lfm, even in top split races there were so many guys who used too low TC values that they can't handle for even 25 minutes, and they always killed themselves right in front of me. This happened at least 10 times out of my 61 ranked races there, and of course none of them wrote at least a "Sorry!" after they ruined my race. But that's more amazing, if this guy still thinks that it was your fault. :)

[@jua288]

@lowfastracing Miss your LFM streams, mate

[@cjdiving]

You gave him a touch too much 😢

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Great work. Yes I did, and can’t believe I didn’t use that one in commentary!

[@gavinmoore8802]

Not your fault imho, Ferrari was out of control.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Cheers Gavin, yeah I actually got a message back from the guy earlier. He said he’d picked up damage so was struggling to control it. Said he was actually trying to leave me space to go through, but the car had other ideas!

[@rmack9226]

I don't know all the rules but that Ferrari looked at fault.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, he was oversteering from the spin so closed off the gap at far tighter an angle than you would expect. But at the same time, I was more than a car length behind so really should have lifted off the gas to avoid it. Was a great race up until then!
