All aboard the showboat! | iRacing Legends Road at Cadwell park

[@ludvigjuvodden7229]

I(pink car) was so nervous to hit you when I saw you joined that I braked in the first corner, got bumped and never got in the groove after that. All I thought the rest of the race was "I´m gonna be the first one in the carnage sequence lol" Anyway was so cool to at least have started a race with you Dave. Love your content!

[@JACKZERYT]

These look so fun to drive, I seen these driving at Mondello in Ireland! I saw you're going to the Simracing expo how cool! Going for the 3 days myself, should be great craic!

[@mrmidnight32]

I swear I’ve never seen faster drivers than legends drivers on this sim. The amount of speed these guys carry with no mistakes in these unforgiving cars is wild to say the least. Oval is one thing but around track these dudes understand this sim inside and out. I race there’s IRL and can’t even touch the P1-P2 guys

[@SB25RACING]

I also race these in IRL in Ireland and got humbled very quickly last night racing them for the first time on the sim 😂

[@leenxtgenracinghorne2513]

Dave, you were racing against the one and only Mr Bobby Thompson, professional racing driver, one of the stars of the BTCC, and friend of NXTGEN, lovely guy and very quick on the sim. Looking forward to sharing the tarmac with you on Sunday 👊🏻💪🏻👍😁🏁

[@aaronthompson6603]

The best series on iRacing by a MILE! I can’t understand why it’s struggling for grids this week? Maybe it’s a new track effect? Hoping it’s a series that last forever

[@tomimar2001]

It's 100% the track.

[@aaronthompson6603]

@@tomimar2001 I thought so, Charlotte last week had healthy splits so hopefully it goes back to that next week!

[@BW_87]

Yeah definitely new track syndrome

[@Kpaxlol]

The problem is they fucked up so many people in recent times by making new tracks free after they buy them, that people stopped buying.

[@tomimar2001]

@@Kpaxlol it doesn't help that it looks like a base content track. It was hard justifying buying it

[@bobbymoto1675]

Legends cup seems like a perfect series for D class. Cars are well behaved and momentum oriented, so all of the focus in on making good moves. Not running Cadwell this week (way too much Fuji and Indy to learn) but looking forward to trying it out in the future.

[@davthacker]

Would these be a good next step after the mx5 you think?

[@tomzorzzzz]

@@davthacker they're a lot of fun, and you have to be delicate with your inputs and keep as much speed up through corners as possible. At Charlotte last week a number of quick guys were really hanging it out and sliding the rears but tyre wear came in to play massively late in the race. I think these would make a good dark horse candidate for driving before going to LMP3

[@davthacker]

@tomzorzzzz ok great going to give it a try, thanks!

[@daznst]

Their is a Bobby Thompson that drives in the BTCC at the moment, could be why he was so quick

[@aaronthompson6603]

@@daznst yep that’s him! Unbelievably fast in anything that he drives

[@Tapport]

I'm genuinely excited for the updates coming to the Legends cars. Tried them out for the first time a couple months ago and they're such a great time on road courses.

[@JustinRamey3]

I'm excited for this weekend!! I was hoping to bang doors alongside you and Julie but I'm stoked to have made 2nd split. There's always next time. Great race and good day Mate!

[@johntoms1170]

"Good thing he has airbags!" 😁😁😁

[@jeffelliott689]

Nice power slide. I'm sure the fans loved it. You need to do what Julie does ...tell the leaders to wait up for you.

[@neilblack1424]

great racing Dave. These look amazing to have out on track and what a combo

[@Lars131]

What a series! This is one of those where I wished you'd have a different license for every single series / car type. Seems super fun but I wouldn't risk my Sportscar license in it because it surely has dedicated people only racing it.

[@kptv75]

When you went into fifth gear, you actually had your highest speed going into that corner. You usually hit about 168 miles an hour in fourth gear or kilo meters per hour. When you went into fifth gear, you hit 170 km/h.

[@Carp_Racing]

Great racing Dave, I can't wait to race these things... Not sure about putting me in split 1...LOL I have to miss the first race, my daughter has a Softball tournament.. I'm the Coach so I kind of have to be there... Sorry, but I will be at the next race.. All ready to be crashy..lol

[@cottermaniracingteam]

How are you streaming the "live" feed in the top right corner of the screen? I love this! Like watching it on TV

[@DrR1pper]

The power sliding is making your exits so much slower than they should be. The cause is your entry with you trying to achieve too high a minimum speed by the apex. You would be much quicker in totality of a lap, aiming for a slightly lower minimum speed and letting the car complete a little more rotation in the middle of the corner (i.e. when you are at your slowest but also highest rate of turning/rotation) before getting back on the power. It will feel wrong at first as you're getting on the power later (at first) but if you do this it will actually be faster because when you get on the power now, that power will actually be working to accelerate you out of the corner exit instead of just spinning the rear tyres and making your corner take longer to complete. Just as too much under rotation of your tyres (e.g. when locking) leads to (severely) reduced deceleration potential, so too when overly over rotating of the your tyres (e.g. wheel spin) leads to (severely) reduced acceleration potential. TLDR; In an attempt to be fast, you're over driving the car, leading you to drive to a lower limit, making you slow.

[@studio9guy]

Airbags for the win!

[@ColinLyons-dr4oq]

Deadly little car you can slide it through corners

[@the_real_beaker_]

We need a “how to launch the new Porsche cup” video

[@fommil]

Amazing combo, one of the best on iRacing, but sadly a diminished experience due to the lack of participation. These cars should have a rookie series to teach people about tire management.

[@ki3291]

Nice racing! Some slight problem with throttle pedal in beginning? Looked like something a dirty pot or bad calibration making it not go to 100% in early stages of race...

[@davecamyt]

Yeah I need to calibrate in the sim for every car, but I keep forgetting 🤣

[@underSTATEDexcellence]

You told them to touch grass!!!! I wanna tell people that all the time but then I realize I’m in the lobby with them. I’ve tried to change my gearing to what I see others going faster running and usually I can’t find the time so revert to my normal routine. Idk sometimes it works others it takes time off my laps.

[@stanwasher]

I'm OK thanks !!

[@smittyjones8755]

Took me a second to get the airbag comment, lol.

[@oneofthehumans7465]

Nothing wrong with a little auto blip between friends

[@sloth_energy]

22:11 a bit of blue for the Dads

[@studio9guy]

She never said, "Get that rotation at the rear!"

[@davecamyt]

You've never lived 😁

[@THETICK36]

is your league for the Legends cars going to be Fixed Setups?

[@shawnbelleque5689]

Air bags should be standard equipment on the legends.

[@CobraAce04]

14:50 You're right dave. These darn kids need to get off our lawn and let us old, slow crap guys win one for a change

[@bigjim4x]

Dave i just found out that us guys that didn't make the drawing for the 1st split for your legends league won't ever get to race with you or get on your stream. That's unfortunate! Part of the reason we did the test race a few months ago and signed up on day 1 when you announced it was to be able to interact with you and race on your channel. Why don't you alternate each week? 1st week with one split and then switch the next week? That would still be fair for everyone and we all get a chance to race with you!

[@davecamyt]

Sorry buddy. It's been difficult to get everyone in, but still male the racing manageable along with the broadcast. Those that didn't make it, or make split one this time will be there next time. 👍 I plan on doing more community racing throughout the season so we'll get to race 😁

[@chopperbristow]

Air bags 😂

[@timroden6617]

So what does Julie think of that paint job?

[@davecamyt]

Snitches get stitches 😁

[@remistrijbis17]

what is auto blip?

[@davecamyt]

It adds a little tiny blip of throttle in between gear changes to make the downshifts smoother 👍

[@OSim42]

Looks like this car could use hand brakes... Just saying. ; )

[@JRAMOTORSPORT]

Change points in a real life legend is 9000 rpm, shouldn’t rev it that hard. I think iRacing have the wrong diff ratio too compared to the real life car

[@paulsmith2516]

Really sorry Dave but there is no way I can get through a whole video of these cars. I've tried twice now and the reason is weird, I know but here goes. I'm epileptic and the constant high pitched whine of that Yamaha gets right inside my skull to the point where I feel a seizure coming and have to turn off so again SORRY but I will avoid these vids in future. Can I also gently suggest that you being SO negative about everything you're doing from before a race even starts is really off putting too. None of us expect you to be perfect or run away with every race but you basically have been telling us that you're rubbish and you have no chance ever, so why bother? Don't beat yourself Dave before you even start. I've only noticed that happening fairly recently and it's not a good development for an otherwise brilliant channel to watch. Sorry if I'm being too negative but I felt I needed to say something. See you definitely in the next vid m8 and stop being so hard on yourself. 😀

[@davecamyt]

I'm not being hard on myself, I'm just explaining the struggle, that's what I do. I explain when things are going well, what I'm thinking, but also the other side when it's not going great. If I didn't say anything it'd be a pretty quiet video (apart from the engine of course which I agree gets annoying). 😁
