Onboard Story: Last to First Challenge

Because of an issue in Qualifying we had to start 48th and last on the grid. However our strategy and pace in the race was amazing and we managed to fight our way into the top 20 with one hour to go. Join me for the final stint of the race as I try to make up some more positions!

David gets signed to Honda. ''wow it's always been a dream of mine to drive for Niss.... *checks notes* Honda'' :D Also i imagine the Bentley driver wasn't impressed since an Pro-AM car overtook their Pro factory car in Silverstone of all places lol But yeah this such a good race to watch. The Pro class had a really good battle aswell from what i remember

[@DavidPerel]

Yea all through the field there were great battles

I think that was a good move on the Bentley driver, you made the corner before he had time to go through, go around wide or cut back, he was caught napping a little but I dont think you were too far back for a fair move.

[@Chr0meTiGeR]

As a huge simracing and Blancpain fan myself it's so cool to see the real deal from the onboards on your channel. I never had the opportunity to do real life racing but I always practiced the tracks and tried to learn them myself on PC as best I could. And it's SO satisfying to see you taking exactly the same lines and use the same braking points as I do in ACC. I know it's probably still comparing apples and bananas but this is as close as I can get, and it feels damn good to see the real blancpain heros do the same things in reality. Thanks for doing these commentaries, the insights are amazing.

[@DavidPerel]

[@loneyskyline]

18:16 From a perspective of a fan of your´s it´s just an racing incident David, no worries ;) 18:50 I think he left the door open because he maybe had thought you knocked on is door to come in, and maybe a bit of ethics pretty common on GT series :)... I think this is a good example of what a good sinc beteen driver and car can result, despite of car setup influence, if you were not 100% sinc with the car you might been close of that, but in my opinion a perfect sinc beteen driver and car it´s also related with a perfect setup of the car. For me it´s the most rewarding and beautiful thing about being a professional racing driver... Congrats for the excelent performance David...Cheers

Well David for that driver who was not impressed by your takeover is like Napoleon saying he was not impressed with Wellingtons victory at Waterloo.

[@TheModmc]

[@mikoajpiatek6716]

The last dive: on one hand it was from far back, but on the other it was pretty drama-less. That tells me that the Bentley driver just left waaaaay too much space. He could’ve and should’ve defended, instead he brakes early, leaves a football field of space and complains when overtaken... the first dive: that was risky tbh, you’ve had a lot of luck that the guy in front saw it coming and I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t. Done a couple of these moves in SimRacing and learned that they do not always go smoothly and the consequences are sometimes very unpleasant.

[@TheChannel1978]

Finding both of these moves could have ended in a racing incident. Cars infront are entitled to chose the line they want unless a car has pulled up next to them. Without overlap it is called a divebomb and what happens next is pretty open...
