Driving Automobilista 2 and Assetto Corsa Competizione for my video content was time to jump back on iRacing and begin my first competitive racing championship of 2024 and had prepare very well my Mercedes Benz AMG GT4 with great setup for Mount Panorama but little did i know was what is going to happen in the 2 races ahead!

Sorry for you, that was great until the crash. You should publish more of those type of videos.

[@chepilevski]

Was my ego putting me in this position 🙈 I will post those in the next 6 weeks for sure 🤛

[@tobias2252]

This feels like old school Race Beyond Matter videos. More focused on your passion for racing instead of equipment and products. Love it, more! :)

[@chepilevski]

Yes man🙈 I must find time to do more of those

[@fireonmytarget8937]

I love these videos with no "car on your left" announcer constantly talking. Great quality.

[@yamyam60]

I'm seriously having trouble trying to identify what is real and what isn't, in this video.

[@logo8009]

Wow! Amazing first race and in a split second within inches it's all gone. Please post more videos like this of you racing. In the first race I did the same thing on the outside lost two places defending one. Thanks for sharing! You guys are crazy fast. Top notch all the way around!

[@chepilevski]

I will post those in the next 6 weeks for sure bro 🤛 The out side on very warm weather is fine to keep outside momentum but I was surprised how much speed i lost from the guys 🙈 It was moment of painful realization 🤣🤣🤣

[@channelvr1293]

I'm watching this and half way. ....I fell asleep 😴 💤 don't get me wrong not because it was boring....NO.. because for me, this was soothing . I felt at piece. It's like a perfectly played instrument...👌 had to wake and watch again to see the end 😂❤

[@chepilevski]

😁🤗 Much love brother 🤗

[@LondonMus]

Highly enjoyed this race you’ve uploaded, maybe because I know how much effort that has gone into your rig it feels even better watching you race in it! Well done, shame about the end but win or lose it doesn’t matter! we enjoy to watch regardless of the result. Keep these kind of races coming👍🏼

[@rickswanracing3139]

I’m surprised that little side contact was enough to upset the car that much. Feel your pain man!

[@chepilevski]

It was the cold tires man 🙈

[@KiliansCreative]

@@chepilevski i was going to say the same thing! thats very surprising bro

[@LJSR07]

That's why everyone should always give room and speed to till the second lap. But adrenaline is a bitch.

It’s a race and when you race you must do some risks :)

Man you drive really nice. I like how the shifts jerk the motion rig. Great setup and nice video.

[@chepilevski]

Thx brother 🍻

[@SuperslowRacing]

“Ice racing physics” you got that right. So frustrating some times.

[@Manu68-Simracing]

Beautiful driving in the first race ! Not lucky at all in the second one, but it seems to me unfortunately that the other pilot didn't make any mistake. Your sim rig is awesome of course.

[@chepilevski]

That was my fault to choose that line on cold tires man 🙈

[@wisniatd]

Steliyan, it is not fun for us at all if you end like that. We are all sorry for that what happened. But with all your trophies and rece experience you know shit like this is gonna happen sooner or later. The first race was tense, last laps and that Benz behind you was going left to right, like some angry sniffing dog in chase mode! Was checking mirrors every 2 or 3 seconds, like I was doing the driving, insane! Good luck for you, I just got my first 3O races in LFM (AC) after a break from online (only gt sport because of SR rating) in about 3 years or so. So felt tension watching you almost the same if I was racing Miata or Clio cup :D Online racing is a lot of fun but (for me) with stress that makes my whole back tense and then needing a good gymnastic every hour of racing. But that thrill is worth it. Even if I lose pace a few laps every 20 min race because of slower drivers and not making any contact. It is sometimes so hard to trust my own pace and track behaviors, stop trying to trace faster drivers and then fall out of track :) So I will train, train, train and maybe some day I can say: "Yep, that was Steliyan that just passed my sorry ass and showed me my place in race" Much love, thanks again for great content!

[@Rezar_racing]

This looks better than real massive respect to ur dedication 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@chepilevski]

[@SingleRacerSVR]

That was a very VERY exciting first race to watch, RBM. But as far as that second race goes, I guess I have to use that classic nascar line "rubbin' is racin?" [;]-)

THIS is close racing !!!! What a solid race you did!! Which car is it ? Bathurst, one of my top 3 tracks❤ By the way, why did you gave up with VR?

[@SDRACING22]

unreal footage! enjoyed this race buddy .. P.S were you running tad too much downforce? car was losing out on the straights every time

[@chepilevski]

I open the wing to the max for maximum speed and sacrifice the tide sections. The draft is strong and as soon I was leading leading car I had to defend

Love the video and that cube controls wheel is tempting

It is comfy indeed buddy 😃

[@scottpolston6137]

God I know right wish I could afford a cube controls wheel I'm stuck with my Moza R12 and CS wheel I mostly drift so that honestly perfect In the next couple months I get a GT3/F1 wheel though a Moza KS or GS and if microcenter still has open box FSR wheels I'll get over of those I'm in love with Simming

[@scottpolston6137]

Woah that wheel he's got is about $800 euro's so probably $1000 US shew that's allot for just a wheel that's $350 more than my R12 base and cost what my R12 and CS wheel cost together

Well done for the first race good driving a pity for the second race

[@chepilevski]

It happens bro, you know how it goes sometimes 😁

[@LJSR07]

Racing incidents are the worst, causebits no ones fault, with that said he did weave to his left and your reaction of catching the car you made contact with him and your race was over. Been there. Bright side all that good practice.

[@NinjaG2301]

Thing on the bright side for the next time you're in a similar situation you will know that iracing physics doesn't like that and you can take a different plan of action but well done on the first racing it was really enjoyable to watch 👍

[@beyondtheapexracing]

Man I’d gladly take coaching lessons from you, you’re an amazing driver. I hear ya on the competitive side, I do the same. Can get us in trouble

[@kevanhandley7521]

Awesome race mate and the rig looks fantastic. Could I ask you a question about different wheels please. I have a Simucube wheelbase and was looking for a wheel for rallying, possibly without all the buttons. Is it possible to connect one just using the Simucube adaptor or do I need something else? Thanks in advance. Love that track btw, I think it’s my favourite

[@chepilevski]

Thanks brother 🤛 For the Simucube you only need to take the quick release part which have standard 70mm holes pattern and attach to whatever round steering wheel you want ! The Simucube base works on itself 🤛

First race was sound, always great content, I do hope iracing corrects the inability to catch the car sometimes , ACC for instance , I feel like I can catch the car, iracing not so much sometimes. I enjoy the Race vids

Cold tires on iRacing are just joke 🙈 But I’m personally fine with the physics 🤛

[@WayWorthRacing]

@@chepilevski I think what I mean in iracing, is certain car contact seems to cause the car to spin oddly but, I’ve never driven a car on a track with slicks, it’s hard to know the feeling when you have never felt it , but I’d say I value your opinion when it comes to the physics. Thanks

[@jeremysumpter8939]

IRacing sliding physics are the worst in the business, You just cant save slides in this game and they feel so unnatural . How they have gotten something so fundamental to racing soooo bad ill never understand.

[@chepilevski]

Cold tires slides are joke indeed 🙈

[@perludierende_praesumtion]

I know your feeling, but: Search for „Suellio Almeida: induce understeer“ you will learn that you can save a slide by applying the throttle 10-30% and steer too much (no counter steering but overdrive the front tyres in the direction of the corner) Second rule in iracing: try as less overdriving, sliding and overheating as possible. Surface heat will kill your grip very much.
