Was the RedBull's defense in last lap legal? It appears to me that he was moving in reaction to block you - afaik this is not a legal move?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hey Zheiko - so on reflection post editing the video I began to think not. It’s quite subtle in a way but I think he does move to block.

[@Walt1119]

Good run there Ben, Congrats on your podium. From my point of view though the guy was definitely doing some blocking there...

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Cheers Walt - yeah I think the consensus seems to be I was a bit kind in commentary to his defending!

[@miguelrojas8947]

yup

[@Steedie86]

Cracking video mate, that last lap was exciting, was convinced you'd get him. These cars look so much fun to drive

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah thanks mate - v much appreciate the kind feedback. Honestly they’re so good to drive, and there are some cracking tracks on the schedule too!

[@gizmog]

Kordal deserves a ban, he kept blocking you and not defending the line, no wonder he got punted early on, he probably did the same and will continue to do the same and crash many times... Good race

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks buddy - so it's interesting you say that. In cockpit and post race I wondered about that myself, but I ultimately felt that his defending got very close to over the line but not quite. It does look quite aggressive in single seaters and through high speed corners, and it isn't how I'd go racing for sure. Interesting you saw it that way though - definitely open to having my mind changed!

[@joevogt6804]

I too say that Kordal drove dirty by blocking you several times! I saw his moves as blocking because he changed his line several times directly after you, the following car, made a move. Ugly driving and not what I like to drive or see. Anyway, good job by you Ben and good racing! I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@gizmog]

@@Ben_LaBroca the iRacing code of conduct is very strict about this, the front car cannot drive reacting to the following car, if he had anticipated your moves by covering the inside line before you did I'd be ok with it (that's actual defending), but you got blocked at least three times, hence, he should get banned

[@keeef23]

I agree! That was not defending that was blocking! He moved in reaction of your movement! Great driving on your behalf 👍🏼

[@CrunchyDiopter]

I’m not much of an online racer so I could be wrong, however, it seems like the defensive moves were a bit late/ aggressive. I would have been rather annoyed with the dangerous breaking/ blocking.

[@SharpeRacing]

Solid podium mate, nice work.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ha cheers buddy - this might be the last podium I got, and it was aaaages ago! 😂😭😭

[@SharpeRacing]

@@Ben_LaBroca You'll get more overtime, Just keep at it. Are you interested in doing some racing IRL?

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Blimey, lap 2 was a bit lively wasn’t it! This video has really whetted my appetite to give this combo a try at the weekend. I’m jealous you managed to overtake someone too… two weeks in, and I’ve still not had the opportunity 😂

[@Teqqlesdoessimracing]

You definitely need to give this a go Chris. Some scary moments when people get it wrong but a lot of fun!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Haha aye after two laps I did half think a win could be on given the attrition rate, but a podium is a decent finish! Look forward to hearing how you get on with it this weekend!

[@davejones687]

Great video and I love your style of commentary, you really convey the excitement. I find I learn a lot from the explanation of your thought process as well. You were robbed of a P1 finish by some unsporting driving by the other guy but better to finish in P2 as a gent.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah thanks Dave mate, really appreciate the kind feedback!

[@martinfreeman8703]

Love the enthusiastic commentary 👌

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Cheers Martin buddy - appreciate that!

[@cesmatt]

Hi are you going to do Nurburgring 24hrs?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hey buddy - unfortunately not possible for me to do endurances at the moment with family commitments. I did do a 9 hour in ACC as a one off a little while ago, but it'll be a while before I can do anything like that again. It's a shame, as I'm sure the N24 is amazing!

[@cesmatt]

@@Ben_LaBroca young family with a baby perhaps? I plan to take part if we can get at least someone else to join the team... anyway great work on the channel

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Exactly that!! Perhaps when she gets a bit older time will be less constrained...although that could be in like 17 years time! Thanks mate, appreciate that, and good luck getting a team together!

[@cesmatt]

@@Ben_LaBroca it gets better, I have two kids, 8 and 10 years old, but yes when they were babies and toddler stage they needed a lot of our time.

[@Peterjan1995]

U gonna stream it?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hey Peter - not a stream but a live watch-a-long of the race video at 13:00 BST today!

[@Peterjan1995]

@@Ben_LaBroca i will put it as reminder 😁

[@jovaniseptovich5110]

I feel like I was just listening to a very intense golf tournament commentary

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hahaha that just made me genuinely laugh out Jovani. I'm not quite sure if it's a compliment or not, but really appreciate you tuning in and taking the time to comment buddy 👍

[@jovaniseptovich5110]

it's a positive note mate - more like I notice your way of racing commentaries is unique and has character, and I am a subscriber so the appreciation goes both ways since you make quality content 💪💪
