It's week one of Season 3 2023 on #iracing and we're in the brand new Turn LMP3 Trophy. Oulton Park is a properly challenging circuit for these cars, and we're in a high split - can we get a good result?

I rarely comment on videos, but Ben I want to comment you on creating this great video format! I love the short form, your commentary, and the multiple angles you are showing of the fights on track and incidents of both you and the other cars. Keep up the great work!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah thank you so much Yannick - I really appreciate that and genuinely delighted you enjoy the content. Thanks for the support!

[@MemoYilmaz123]

@@Ben_LaBroca this type of video is the same as F1’s race highlights. Maybe even more effort goes into this! Great job, really enjoying all your videos!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

@@MemoYilmaz123 haha you’ve clocked my inspiration for the format and style! 😅😅

[@whitedragonracing]

Great racing Ben unlucky with the avoiding spin. I like the look of this car it looks great fun to drive. 💥👌

[@Ben_LaBroca]

It’s a blast - thanks for watching buddy!

[@JosephDungee]

Good video and I too like your short form format that highlighted the big moments. Tough luck on not being able to save that spin, I know the feeling. All the best in your next race.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Joseph mate - really appreciate that!

[@stu3845]

Love the style of your videos Ben, the passion and excitement really shines through. Great work, keep them coming

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Stu mate - really appreciate that!!

[@srhphoto1]

So unlucky Ben! Oulton Park is such a narrow track, and those LMP cars are pretty much as long as the track is wide. Great video!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Cheers Si! Aye in the moment I thought I had it nailed aiming for his rear end, and then he held the brakes! (which generally you’re meant to do so no criticism). It just happened to seal my fate this time! 🤦‍♂️

[@jimgatts8919]

Great vid Ben, i love the Ligier LMP3 as well. I am of the mind that "holding the brakes" is not always the right call, the right call should always be whatever gets you out of the way of incoming traffic. If its holding the brakes then great, if its accelerating across the track to get out of the way then thats great too. Good luck in your next race Ben!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Jim - appreciate it buddy!

[@simracer-65]

Also loving the LMP3, great addition to iRacing 👍. Great racing Ben.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks man - I really can see it becoming a staple of iracing for a long time. Grids have been so full all week!

[@Pitout.Racing]

Hi Ben, I was just wondering how you initially got your channel noticed, because I’ve uploaded a few videos but I can’t get a consistent amount of views or any at all. Thanks! Love your videos keep it going! 🎉

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hey buddy - are you on discord? Come join the community via the link in the description. Happy to pick up with you via DM but also there's many creators in the community who are always offering support to one another too!

I’ll join the discord now thanks a lot!

[@Sergio-lh5xv]

Great video as always! Even though I don't race in iRacing, it's always interesting to watch your videos because of the great format. Also really liked the telemetry now, keep it up!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Sergio, really pleased to hear the videos bring enjoyment!

[@eXtricRacing]

Good effort Ben, nice driving

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Russell buddy - I never did get a clean multiclass race in in the end! How did you go?

[@eXtricRacing]

@@Ben_LaBroca First race was good. Was going very well, got up to P2. Then lost concentration, went too deep in a corner and lost lots of time followed by a few spins. Was surprised how much more Brain power I didn’t on this combo. Well you sauce what happened second race. 😆 Not tried another.

[@thekeith2589]

Another great video! Loving the lmp3 and racing your livery 😜🫡

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Keith mate - and for repping La Broca colours!

[@thekeith2589]

@@Ben_LaBroca looking forward to the Watkins Glen carnage videos to come from this week 😅

[@jonathanmooremotorsport]

3:12 that may or may not have been me 🫣 I remember that crash as well, lost the rear on entry and then the tc engaged right as I was correcting it and kind of just got shot the other way 😂

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ha hey Jonathan mate - really unlucky buddy. It does not take much for a small mistake to become an accident in these cars! Big shame as you had great pace. Glad you found the vid bud and hopefully see you on track again!

[@jonathanmooremotorsport]

@@Ben_LaBroca yeah hopefully, my fastest from the week was a 1:21.3 with setup which is top 60 in the world when I last checked so just about eliminating the small mistakes

[@ThomasRaceEngineering]

Great driving, shame about the spin in avoidance but not a bad result considering

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Joe - yeah all in all not too bad. And really enjoyed learning the car this week!

[@davidpym9420]

Great video as usual Ben. Cars look like they want to kill, but I’m sure after a few more laps everyone will get a better grasp of them. Really unlucky with the spin at the end trying to avoid someone else, but they look fun.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks David - appreciate it buddy!

[@tbtron]

l I just won a race yesterday at the Glenn in the LMP3. Started 4th and didn't want to scuffle so I fell back to 8th and then won when everyone in front of me slid out lolol. All I had to do was keep on the track didn't have to make one pass except the drivers sliding out.

[@BeeBeeRacing]

Love the livery Ben 💪💪

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thank you very much buddy - in fairness it’s a beautiful chassis to work with!

[@BeeBeeRacing]

@@Ben_LaBroca true! I’m gonna use one of your paints if that’s alright? I suck at GIMP lollll

[@Ben_LaBroca]

@@BeeBeeRacing please do mate - love seeing others on track in them!

[@BeeBeeRacing]

@@Ben_LaBroca awesome! Will do in my next upload, thx! 🙏🙏

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Blimey, how did you come through lap one with 0x??? Terrifying stuff! This car looks like a real challenge, made for a fantastic race. Shame about the late incident… you were screwed whichever way you went… the track’s so narrow, there wasn’t a car’s width on either side.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Haha I couldn’t believe how close it all was on replay - definitely would have resulted in 5 cars dying on another day!

[@nathangameros341]

this is what I want to sound like when I'm telling my girl about my race highlights

[@JosephDungee]

Can't say I'm surprised. Its worse as a GT car in IMSA...Prototypes driving over the top of GT's left and right.

[@regibson23]

Work on keeping your foot in the throttle when you go off into the grass. You can potentially drive through it if you do. Dumping out of the throttle pretty much guarantees a spin because you instantly unload the rear of the car.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks man - v helpful tip!

[@miguelruiz_]

Can I contract you to make a livery for me?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hey Miguel - dropped you a DM on discord 👍
