My First Race in iRacing

[@mrmastertones5862]

This man will be driving LMP3 in 2 weeks

[@floridaman964]

Most normal LMP3 driver.

[@ASiMRacer]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Smokeyr67]

Yep, the old 1k LMP driver😂

[@KevinStamps]

This explains a LOT about the iRacing Rookies experience lol. Watch a track guide each week and practice more before racing :D This was a fun video. Good luck!

[@SmeeCake]

I have been iracing for years now and just have to say this has been one of the most entertaining iracing videos I have seen in a long time! Please keep making this content

[@JuniorSwingman]

I laughed of course but I love watching these type of wholesome videos. I subscribed within the first minute of the video. I’m all in to see you go from beginner to winning races.

[@PeterBee911]

Most beautiful pit entry I've ever witnessed. 10/10. But seriously, keep those videos coming, it's amazing to see the pov of a new player and seeing how you improve!

[@NelloRacingYT]

I'm going to try to have a video out every Saturday!

[@nismocowboy05]

Dude I about died at 6:45 hahahaha keep these up, I love your approach to iracing. Just good wholesome fun

[@NelloRacingYT]

I still wonder if it was my fault because I did that rejoin, he was a couple seconds away but it's rookies so who knows

[@joshrebel00]

Its just a game. Dont get caught up on people who like to yell for mistakes. Go enjoy yourself. Welcome to the community.

[@afshinfad]

This is the most fun iRacing video I've ever watched. Instant subscribe. I'm here for the journey!

[@liamlarsen3355]

Loved the video! I started iracing the off week before S323. You can't even fathom how much you will improve this season as long as you keep at it.

[@Xxgigabyt3xX]

You have come along way! Keep on keepin on!

[@ultra_vires]

Enjoyed this! You've come a long way (most of the time)

[@joshuaspears5236]

Good luck man. 🎉 hope you have a blast.

[@adisonsichampanakhone1070]

Subbed. Going to be crazy seeing the whole journey from the start 😂🤘

[@leon_brave_racing898]

Great editing for a first video. Can't imagine where you will end up. Especially with being lucky to have your twitch viewers as a base to start from.

[@McCaulinator]

That was Chaotic lol did make me laugh so i'll sub for that!

[@doodlydoodla5391]

This was hilarious! Great video mate

[@ChrisGT3]

Really good video! Already waiting for the next one!

[@TwinkleToes4life]

This is one of the best iracing videos I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work and keep practicing. Also never join my lobbies.

[@julianpauldallas9729]

Just started iracing aswell and man can I relate, awesome video

[@UnderbellyNZ]

Very wholesome. You're a lovely chap.

[@Leon-qf6zn]

insane to see your progress also intrensting to see someone start racing without to much knowledge idk that my father taught me from the begining as an f3 engineer

[@SergeantPancake]

Surprised this hasn't blown way way way up. Really good content dude, never seen this before and it was fun to learn with you Edit: just saw one of your videos has 15K views. Good bro. You're making quality stuff here. Hope it just keeps growing

[@NelloRacingYT]

It's definitely all over the place and I don't really know which one is going to do well or not so I'm just going to keep making videos I'd want to watch 👍

[@MichaelSmithRaces]

oh dear, I am going to start iracing soon, learned a lot from this!! "dont go into the dirt or the grass"

[@tylershea8669]

Loved watching this gong show literally laughed entire video! Found a subscriber here!!!

[@bitkomet]

The saga begins

[@itzBUCKSS]

I'm so here for all of this lol, need more

[@CasualGearheads]

Well I didn't literally piss myself laughing, but... nearly. :D Great stuff mate, nice to see you have fun with it.

[@heldrin4968]

I subbed keep making these. I'm new also. I started in the middle of last season. you'll see with that attitude you will progress fast.

[@neilblack1424]

Thank you for sharing, that was amazing and made me laugh 🤣

[@downforcedel]

Love it! I also just started but am scared to do my first race. I've just been practicing lol. I just need to rip the Band-Aid off and race

[@NelloRacingYT]

Do it! That's what rookies are for. I definitely jumped in too early but I hear a lot of people wait too long to get into their first race

[@terjehelle]

This was brilliant! Tnx! Looking forward to the next one!

[@jujurm]

Can’t wait to see the journey ! That was so painful and encouraging at the same time I’m confused right now 😂 How can’t this be trolling ? 😂

[@ArcBrooks]

Modern MX-5 in iracing doesn't use an h pattern and auto blip is actually optional in the irl car. I'd suggest keeping auto blip on and use a seq or your paddle shifters.

[@NelloRacingYT]

I was so sad to find out that the MX-5 is no longer H pattern. I'm currently using the paddle shifters on my G29

[@KingDian91]

Instant Classic

[@descobarser]

This is so bad it’s good. Oh my god you think the chaos will end but it keeps going.

[@protocolpalpatine]

I died when u said nooooo my qualifying dreams 😆

[@KD_ux]

I was like this 1 month ago. Now I’m in B class optimizing my best lap times. Youll get there with practice

[@angryginger791]

I have to thank you. You make me feel like a driving god. LOL! Keep practicing, dude, but first learn how to practice. There are guides on effective practice, but basically start by learning the line. Go into corners slowly so you can be sure you hit the apex, and work on getting the best exit possible. That's your main priority. A good exit on to a straight will gain you more time than anything else. Then just keep going while ensuring you hit the apex and get the best exit you can. Doing that will show you "the line" and where to brake, turn in, etc. That alone will get you much closer to the pace. Good luck, and keep the shiny side up!

[@viktorisaksson7573]

I have like 30 hours in iracing or something so idk what I'm talking about. You'll know when the tires are cold/warm through your irl steering wheel. The car just feels different. Happy racing!

[@keeef23]

This was brilliant 😂

[@matta2738]

Turn the racing line on until you learn the track and braking points

[@Wolfe_No.13]

This was fun to watch. I don't think ive seen so many incidents in one single race for a single driver but its very fun, and you seem like you will learn fast! bet youll be in D class or even C class within a couple week driving GT4's or F3 even lol

[@AG93Racing]

he's already C! should watch him on twitch!!

[@BenjiBoo42]

Fun vibes but def get more practice in before joining the races. Watch the weekly guides on the tracks, those guides can easily get you within 10 secs of top qualifier. Personally if I can't get within 10 seconds of P1, then I should practice more. Learning the limits of the car takes time, trust the process.

[@GuppyMilk334]

There is one "fast repair" on rookie races. You can choose if you want to take new tires or no in black box under "tires".

[@NelloRacingYT]

I went into I think the app.ini file and made it so I no longer need to uncheck tires

[@samgendler]

Ah, the fact that you've never driven a car at all explains much. But I'd forgotten how chaotic rookies was. Those first few impacts weren't even your fault so it's possible you weren't even the worst driver out there!

[@FatBoyBlues]

This is amazing content

[@NelloRacingYT]

Thanks for stopping by the stream! A bunch of rough racing today

[@DRSimsports]

Brilliant.. your making me feel a little bit better about my lack of skill😅

[@etiennesdg]

i thought my 1 race was bad, when it fact it was glorious

[@touch.]

I want mooooooree!!!

[@phoenixmotorsport647]

optional repairs dont have to be done. cancel them by driving away. As soon as he raises the lollipop you are free to go

[@thepilotist7297]

Try the Ligier LMP3. Easiest car in the game, trust me bro.

[@NelloRacingYT]

Thanks for the tip I'll try it 2024S1W1

[@sparkywalton]

When’s the next video coming?

[@NelloRacingYT]

Just came out today! I'm hoping for a weekly release but it's hard with the holidays

[@tonybracing3255]

Too funny. Thank god I am not racing against you. (No malice intended) are you using a wheel or a controller?

[@NelloRacingYT]

I have a G29 with the h pattern shifter (although the MX-5 is sequential)

[@WhoIppo]

3rd cone is where you wanna brake at

[@sparkywalton]

Is iracing really that hard compared to the likes of GT7?

[@NelloRacingYT]

From what I've heard, yeah. I had played a couple hours on Assetto Corsa and it was like starting over. I will say that since this was recorded iRacing has made the grass less slippery so it's not near as crazy when offtrack

[@Jack96993]

I've had 3 Porsche 944TS track cars and if they handled like iRacing track cars on the first couple of laps, I would have thrown a match on them and burnt them to the ground 😅 Practice practice practice Go slow at first, be smooth ( smooth is fast) learn the racing line, be consistent and have FUN 😅😊😂 I think it's was the most fun races I've seen in a while😅

[@Darlexis]

Classic iRacing

[@dash0173]

Lmfaooo.... "there's a guy 3 seconds behind me, i just don't wanna mess him up"...... **proceeds to wait 1.5 seconds until hes right behind you before pulling out onto the track, causing him to have to go off track to avoid** lmaooo the rookie brain logic is hilarious to me. I know mistakes like that are INEVITABLE when starting out. i did them, hell i still do them at times.

[@NelloRacingYT]

It took a while for me to realize that a 5 second gap can disappear in the time it takes to get the car back on the track, and you won't be rejoining at race pace

[@ming454]

Reminds me of me

[@Tommeh_Gaming]

i want to see your first month in iracing

[@NelloRacingYT]

It's a ton of footage to go through but that's the plan! Just uploaded my first day and then I'll go with week and then month. I'd love to have a weekly upload schedule but the holidays are a bad time to get started

[@GrantBoydenRacing]

Welcome to Rookies lol

[@mariolevasseur731]

Avoid touching the grass.

[@paulbraunstein1279]

nel10x!

[@NelloRacingYT]

Reported for bullying

[@cjnealy442]

Some advice learn to “trail break” now while you are still learning! keep up the videos very interesting!

[@NelloRacingYT]

Still working on trailbraking

[@Gaso_Meter]

It's kinda funny, but what a disgrace! PRACTICE your ass off so you can manage just a couple of laps without an incident, before actual race, mate! ;)

[@drchtct]

This made for a funny YT video but isn't that funny for the other people you race. Seriously, practice before going into a race, look into your mirrors, this isn't Need for Speed

[@cmax889]

Practice and qualifying doesn’t affect irating just so you know.

[@vjollila96]

personally i practice untill I lap constantly in 4-5 tenths between laps and yes do way more practice

[@sahiru]

this is me few months ago in assestto corsa

[@Steve_McNeil]

I was crying lol.🤣

[@robertnail2879]

Rookie is to high for you

[@NelloRacingYT]

They wouldn't let me drive a go-kart

[@robertnail2879]

@@NelloRacingYT don't feel bad. They won't let me race bicycle with training wheels

[@MUTILATEDFILTH]

Thank god I only do league racing. Lol

[@boxofstuffsgaming.9200]

To clutch and blip your going to want to learn to heal and toe - kzbin.infof70o6-JmMNo?si=wz0yC55sK9BU7RDi The lower the gear the more careful you need to be. Delay your downshifts, downshift too early and the rear wheels will lock up. I believe the mX5 in iracing is technically sequential now - with cut on upshift and auto-blip on downshift - been like this from 2021 But I used to heal toe, especially to 2nd or first. Best of luck!

[@Gr00t]

6:27 hahahaha

[@phoenixmotorsport647]

oh god - you got the worst circuit ever for you first race!! My iRacing "Career" started on 1st January 2024. To say the learning curve is steep is an understatement - AND I DO THIS FOR REAL!!!

[@matthewbest6770]

Wut…..

[@EluciaDeLuteIma]

Please do formula 3 next

[@redonsundays]

I get that you're a beginner and not sure how to drive fast yet, but if you're this incompetent at keeping the car on track at low speed or in a straight line, I sincerely hope this is either a troll or you don't have a real life road license. Edit: I watched the rest of the video. Fair enough.

[@jamiemb17]

Please, not every video needs subtitles, this isn't tiktok

[@NelloRacingYT]

I will say that it was popular to subtitle gaming videos before tiktok's ai generated subtitle trend exploded. I like that you can put some personality in them

[@messy3371]

hahaha that was horrific but hilarious, try to mostly brake in a straight line before you start turning, if you start to hit the brakes and turn at the same time you'll over rotate the car and spin out, you can peel of the brakes when you start to turn which is called trail braking but it will take practice.

[@messy3371]

dying at you watching the dave cam video and saying 'he hit the red stuff' haha, that is called the apex and you want to hit that through every corner because it allows you to take the racing line - being on the racing line will allow you to carry the most speed possible through each corner

[@brick1357]

worn out after 2 laps... wait til you try multiclass racing in the rain in a 2 hour and 40 minute race, with no visibility

[@iancarney7729]

I really hope you exaggerated this. This was so bad. I’m embarrassed for you. This has to be the worst first race ever done.

[@NelloRacingYT]

I hope it wasn't the worst first race ever. I did finish 3rd from the bottom so there's a chance

[@jondavies]

Obviously it was fun to watch and you seem really chilled and a great guy but seriously you should practice more before entering ranked races and be able to stay on track. With iracing it's quite a serious aim racing game and other drivers are trying to get their ratings up and do as well as they can do, so risking others people's rating for your own amusement isn't a great way to go racing in a game like this. ( No disrespect it's just frustrating when your trying really hard and you come across people that just don't careand end up destroying your rating ) Once get out of rookie it does get slightly bettwr then obviously the more you rank up the better drivers you come across

[@JackOldenburg]

Hi nello

[@NelloRacingYT]

Hi Jack

[@keeef23]

Hi nello and jack

[@StephenWestrip]

That was painful to watch! You really need to practice more to learn the tracks. You turned in to most corners so late I thought you maybe couldn’t see them.

[@giggysmalls5803]

In my humble opinion, I would suggest that you try an easier sim first before hopping into iRacing. It is quite unforgiving. Nevertheless if you really do want to try iRacing, try to watch some track guides for your car and practice your breaking points before getting into a race. Even if you are careful, when you break a lot earlier than the breaking point you catch out the drivers behind you and they simply WILL crash into you...

[@Baltuc_Racing]

lol after 11years on iRacing, ive gotta say🫣 "hahahahaha" ive seen this a 1000th times Rookie thinks he dont have to practice and nothing is ever his/hers fault 🤣🤣🤣 gotta love rookies 😝
