[@uvmegamer]

"No no no no no no no no"......we've all sang that song. It's so painful to see someone make that mistake, we all know exactly how you're feeling Chris. Thank you for helping us come to terms with our own inadequacies. Good luck in the next one mate 👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Hahaha thanks, I’ve just realised how that is such a suitable name for the video title, so I’ve updated it 🤣 and I’m always happy to share those big mistakes that people can relate to! Thank you for feeling my pain!

[@lowfastracing]

I don't kow why, but it's always so satisfying to watch McLarens crash each other... :) I tell you what happened at 11:20 , he just drove away after he crashed the other Macca, but later he saw that you're behind him and said: "Oh f*ck, i'll be on youtube, i give the position back instead..." :)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Hahaha very possibly! It was the same driver who lost a load of positions waiting for the guy he hit at the last corner at the end of lap 2. So he had a bit of a nightmare day 🤣

[@johnmitchell3883]

Always look forward to your video's Chris, Keep up the good work 👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you John, really appreciate that mate. Cheers for watching.

[@nocommentaryjustgaming]

Holy baby Jesus, what a freakin race! This race (once more) had it all! Drama, action and so entertaining to watch. You almost reached the podium, that last lap mistake really was unexpected and you surely deserved to finish in the podium buddy. Every time I come here I always have a grea time with your action packed races, full of great moments. This channel is a must watch indeed! Looking forward to your next race and lets hope you can finish strong 💪👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you man, and I’ve been meaning to thank you too for your shoutouts in your video descriptions - much appreciated! These races are getting crazier by the week!

[@nocommentaryjustgaming]

@@chrisrogerssimracing You deserve those shoutouts buddy, your content must be seen by sim racing lovers. Always good to help your channel grow 🙂👍

[@joevogt6804]

As already written here multiple times, we've all been there! I feel with you. Thanks for sharing! Very entertaining video as always!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

My pleasure Joe. Are you still running the M2 races in LFM? I’m thinking of giving it another try this week.

[@BOTRacing]

Nothing to be embarrassed about. We all have done something similar. Whether it's get complacent, excited, make a small mistake, or just over confident, it happens. Don't beat yourself up. Have a pint and remember that it's JUST A GAME!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thanks Adam. That’s the beauty of this channel… no matter how many blunders I make, there are always plenty of people who’ve done the same and can sympathise!

[@CiaranMcSwiney]

Was a painful one Chris but as many have already probably said I've been that solider! However was a smooth race overall for you! Really enjoying your content and the passion for a great race! Enjoy that coffee! Well deserved!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Hey Ciaran, ahhh thank you very much mate! When I got the coffee notification, it was anonymous so I’m glad I’ve got the chance to thank you in person. Really appreciate it, cheers for the support!

[@Hiroschima]

I was really enjoying the race thinking to myself "it's great to see all this action whilst Chris is getting on with climbing up the ranks and avoiding it all" then last lap came...gutted for you but it was still a great performance to take away to the next race. Brilliant upload Chris see you on the next one!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate. You know me by now… I always manage to find disaster somehow 🤣

[@pixelhotdish]

Relatable. Frustrating as hell, but we have all done it. In fact, I think we have all benefitted from someone else doing it at one time or another as well. Thats racing. Keep it up Chris. :)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you! That’s the beauty of getting to share my woes on here… there are so many people who can sympathise! Cheers 😃

[@davidontherailroad]

What a roller coaster! Awesome driving, at least for all but one corner.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Cheers, yeah it’s crazy isn’t it, how the slightest lapse in concentration can completely ruin a race! Very embarrassing indeed 🤣 still cracking fun though, thoroughly enjoyed it

[@Walt1119]

Well Buddy, it Was a good run, too greedy, and probably penance for the time you just spent in Sin City!!! Thanks for sharing w us!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha very true Walt! Punishment for staring too long at the showgirls on the street ⚡️🤣

[@daviddavies3637]

Going back to the old ways, I see, Chris. 😂A great tactical race until the end, there. Usual Monday shenanigans while people are relearning how to drive a new track.Was 3 seconds off the pace in quali for my first race last night so started near the back of the grid (P24 or so, I think). Made 10 places up on first lap! People are just insane on a Monday. I did get up to P8 but then wheel decided to come away from desk on last lap. Managed P3 on the next race. My split was dominated by the 296. Top split was dominated by Maccas and Astons, with just one 296, who finished last. The Macca does look quick around here.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I worried my videos were getting a bit boring without the calamitous mistakes, so thought I better throw one in 😉 the Macca was definitely the car of choice in this split, and you’re right, it was classic Monday afternoon stuff. I’ll be keen to give it a second try later in the week, as I found quite a bit of pace during the race (and I also now know to avoid that kerb!).

[@woodcote7617]

quality entertainment and a gripping race.... but where would be without some CR drama.... and for keeping it real for the vast majority of us sim racers top marks sir

[@cZINE77]

A Classic! Good race, thrilling as always.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you! Cheers for watching 😃

[@chuckyaegar7691]

I gasped when you made that mistake. It was a great race tho. Really gripping! Unlike the BMW in the beginning.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha yeah. Generally, the grip was non-existent! I can’t remember the last time I went up as high as TC5, and even that didn’t save me at the end 🤣

[@meisterlaggersimracing]

That was really heartbreaking in the end. Such mistakes happened to me so often as well, I really know how you must feel right now. Especially after such an awesome race! Heads up and good luck for your next races! 👍 P.S.: I really hope we meet on track somewhen since I finally made it out of "Rookies" last week. 😄

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Congrats for graduating from rookies! Yeah keep an eye out for me on track, will be good to race!

[@jacksonbarinowski3966]

I just did a race at Donington Park yesterday in the Moza Challenge. Started P10 and finished P8, not too shabby considering I'm running mid-1:27s and mostly 1:28s while fighting for position. My pace fell off a cliff mid-race but it certainly could have been worse! Great race here.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

That’s an impressive pace. I reckon I’ve got a 1.28.1 in me, but not sure I’d get into the 27s. The guy on pole in this race was lapping that pace… and he carved through the field pretty easily after his mishaps! Gained on me by about 1sec a lap. Scary fast, I don’t know how you manage it.

[@darren3627]

Heart break!! But it shows you can do it, your consistency got you there just one step away.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Darren, that’s a very positive way to look at it! Cheers 😃

[@Daniel_cste]

damn had to rush home from work immediately after seeing a notification from chris 🤝🏻🌚 The race was so exciting Chris, really well how you managed yourself there, even came up to the podium places. Such a bummer you lost it into that one turn, but i feel with you. You sometimes sit there with an empty feeling in your chair thinking about how dumb you are for making such a mistake. But im sure that won't happen to you again at this turn, at least for a while :D

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahhh thank you Daniel, glad you enjoyed it. One thing’s for sure, I’ll be extra careful on the last lap for my upcoming races after this one! Cheers mate

[@RacingRef]

Gutting mate, but great battle and effort to get yourself in that position in the first place. Easy enough to do round Donny. Chin up and go and smash the next one 💪

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you man, good pep talk! Definitely more positives than negatives to take from this one! Cheers 😃

[@theashenfox]

Oh, Chris... lol. It's so British to have it in your hand and throw it away :D Better luck next time mate :)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha most definitely! Just goes to show how costly even the slightest lapse in concentration can be!

[@EJSimRacing]

did the exact same thing to cost me a win in my league race. Felt that pain all over again watching this. Unlucky Chris.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

I’m glad I’m not the only one! It’s infuriating, isn’t it… I never made that mistake once, yet I find a way to do it on the last lap 🤣

[@EJSimRacing]

@@chrisrogerssimracing same. Consistent all race etc and then boom just lost it. There is always next time. We race on

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

@@EJSimRacing Exactly that! Thanks mate

[@nock-racing]

Oh no Chris! What heartbreak at the end there. Such a shame given you'd managed to stay out of everyone else's dramas throughout the race. Still a good result, above what you were expected so I'm sure once the dust settled, you were still happy with the result 👍🏻

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yes, still happy with the result in the end, and of course the ‘emotional rollercoaster’ is what it’s all about. I’d much rather have a race that makes me feel all those things, rather than a dull one rolling around safely in mid-pack or at the back 😃

[@combatwombat71]

Still a great race though Chris! Great to watch. We've all been there and thrown it away on the last lap at some point 😢 Onto the next one!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I was already writing the triumphant video title in my head when I headed into that doomed corner! Haha. Still lots of fun. Cheers Rob

[@Teqqlesdoessimracing]

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Eric. Yeah, definitely entertaining. I’ll take a dramatic race with disappointment over a dull race any day!

[@ReverendSimRacing]

Fantastic video Chris as usual! Such a shame at the end but we have all done it, me on more than one occasion!!

Oh yeah this race was a dramatic rollercoaster. Maybe you was to relief for the 1,5 sec gap. That happened often for me. The no no no no no no I can feel it deep in my heart. But Chris only with mistakes we can get better 😊. Nice race, but a little lack of concentration and you lost your podium. It is what is it . Cu next race

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah you’re exactly right. When the pressure eases, you relax and drop your guard slightly… and that’s often when you’re at the highest risk of making a careless mistake. That’s exactly what happened here! All good learning experience 🤣 cheers man

[@raggiezockt]

@@chrisrogerssimracing hehe I know that feeling very good. Last round where my mistakes happen. My heart rate raises and then boom mistake xD

[@EhPlusSimRacing]

That's unfortunate mate! Still, P11 to P7 isn't too bad.

Thanks man, yeah it’s funny how it goes. If I’d had an uneventful run mid-pack and quietly climbed from P11 to P7, I’d have been well happy!

Hey Chris, thanks for always entertaining us. If it's not too much to ask, do you mind sharing or showcasing your ACC car settings? Thank you

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Hey, I don’t really have any setups to share I’m afraid. I usually just choose the default Aggressive setup, and then adjust TC to make it feel safe. Sometimes I find a free setup on the Fri3d0lf KZbin channel… he shares lots of setups that are pretty decent 👍

[@RemingtonManor]

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha! Thanks Dave, yeah I like to share my pain with everyone. Always reassuring to know I’m not the only one it happens to!

[@TheFlying-Scotsman]

So it's not just me that makes daft mistakes then...Great fight from a mid table start. A real shame about the mistake at the death.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

No, it’s definitely not just you! I was kicking myself for hours after that one. I’d increased my TC and everything, to be sure of a safe last lap 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@chickey31]

I run the BMW but by dropping my TC to 1-2 in the final two hairpins i gained substantial time. Around .3-.5. Just need to be easy on throttle and short shift if needed. if you watch your replay you can see how much the TC4 engages

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Cheers, yeah, I really need to get better with TC adjustments during the lap, depending on the corner. My problem is, I keep forgetting to switch it back 🤣

[@DavidCain-l3i]

Always wondered about the custom liveries on acc I don't have the talent to make my own but unlike something like forza I can seem to find any that you don't have to pay silly money for

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

I’m exactly the same. Wouldn’t know where to start with making my own ACC livery. Luckily, one of my community pals Adam Stewart kindly made this one for me (and showed me how to load it). If you’re in any Discord communities, that might be your best bet, if there’s someone in there who enjoys making them.

[@pryere]

Only one unforced error that cost you a podium. That stings.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, exactly that. The slightest lapse in concentration, but at the worst possible time! It was a real body blow.

[@1976Cordoba]

I think anyone who sim races for a while ends up throwing away a good (or great) result on the most basic of errors at some point. Nothing to do but go on to the next race. 🏁

[@artfull_dodger__]

Why you running map 4

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

I was running even higher for a lot of it! Couldn’t get any sort of smooth rhythm with TC3 or any lower. But the qualifying session was my only pre-race laps, so I had no practice time to get used to the slippery track.
