David really does a great job bringing the viewer into the experience. He is humble and skilled. What a class act.

[@DavidPerel]

Too kind Kyle, thanks so much

[@leeclements323]

Ditto

[@silentblackhole]

I agree. Love the way he explains it and talks. Seems like a nice chill dude.

[@alpha007org]

I just bought my first wheel for gaming PC a couple weeks ago and I'm looking for (sim) racing videos on youtube for tips, advices and for knowledge broadly to learn the ropes. This is great video to teach you patience when you decide to overtake. Great video.

[@chad2831]

@alpha007org also nice to see the respect of other drivers. don't always find that in sim racing has

"Let me watch for 2 minutes..." then 16 minutes passed. Would be great to hear your story and how you started in real racing! Great job, David! All the best!

[@DavidPerel]

Thanks for sticking through till the end!

[@x-fast_eddie-x9856]

That was a very cool video. Fantastic driving and great insight into what goes through your mind in a race. Good luck this weekend and have fun!

[@prodsparkplug]

Such a down to earth racer, your ability to read other racers and your calm method of handling them will get you far!

[@BKmvLog]

lmao Can't see the start line, because of massive BMW M6 in front of me

[@SecretSauceyjuice]

I caught that too 😂🤣😂

[@Wildcatman43]

I don’t usually watch videos like this all the way through, but your commentary and driving are fantastic! Keep up the good work!

[@Polaventris]

These commented in-car real racing videos are always very entertaining and very interesting. Thanks!

[@DavidPerel]

Glad you enjoy them mate. I’ll try post as often as possible (and when I’m allowed to).

[@ikari120378]

Perseverant and not being overconfident. Good attitude for racing.

[@BiOhAzZaRDqqggbb]

That was a sensational drive mate, felt the last one down my spine.

[@miked7728]

Yup got some chills and instinctively fist pumped when he got that pass.

[@blackkimchi5111]

Holy moly, what focus to just reel in one after another talented driver. Full focus for almost 38 minutes.

[@MegaMARGALI]

Wow, that last corner is yours mate, amazing job. Good luck

[@rohesilmnelohe]

Jim Clark in the making? Might just be archive footage, but man... Top notch driving!

[@Zenlife83]

What a beautiful line through the final two corners. It's awesome that you can recognize your skills from other practices and how you apply them. Using your carting and SIM experience and apply it on track was nice to watch. Have fun at your next race.

[@DavidPerel]

Thanks mate, much appreciated 😁😁

[@BeachJedi101]

That pass on Super GT has been named a David Perel. Congrats man

[@vaclavkhun4416]

[@lukegodeassi7352]

This video kept popping up in my recommended section and I finally caved and clicked out of curiosity. Glad I did! Epic driving. loved hearing your thought process during the stint. That unique line you were taking through the last corner complex was inspired - so much faster than how everyone else was approaching it!

[@shaunluckham4345]

Great stuff David good luck in the races to come.

[@TINYHEAD69]

Absolutely rapid through the last sector, crazy driving

[@gseric4721]

Wow, I didn't know GT cars were capable of consistently taking that aggressive line over the curbs like this. Very nice consistent driving.

[@SavouryLobster]

This is easily the best race video I have ever seen on here. Awesome job and good luck!

[@afonseca]

Great video, really appreciate the commentary sharing what you're thinking both tactically when setting up a pass but also strategically in the context of the race and career. I'm subscribed, looking forward to more like this.

[@cocosloan3748]

Wow what a show-I enjoyed this more than any race! Underdog win? Nice :)
