rFactor 2 | A Moment of RAGE Ruins ANOTHER Race 😔 LFM BTCC @ Monza

[@johnschneible4812]

Hey Chris. I just watched this one and I feel your frustration. There are still good races out there and good racers thanks to you! You have been a great ambassador for sportsmanship. So chin up buddy, don't let them get you down. 💪

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you John, that’s very kind of you to say. I’ve had a couple of weeks off now, which has soothed my frustration a bit! So I reckon I might try and hop back in next to give something a try 😃

[@lincolnklayvr]

Totally understand your position, I'm on a long break from GT7 and on the verge of walking away forever , ACC is still my favorite but right now I'm having the most fun in f1 23

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

ACC has become my favourite too. When I mention in the vid that I could count the number of clean races on one hand… well, they’ve been the ACC ones. I am really tempted by F1 23 though… the thought of a really immersive AI / offline series is very appealing.

[@depitónapitón2258]

Hi Chris, unfortunately, there is people without self control on track. The BMW is guilty for the incident but the Astra's rejoin is unjustifiable. I think that these behaviors should be sanctioned.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, it was a huge mistake from the BMW, so I did sympathise with the Astra and why he felt so frustrated. But I lost that sympathy pretty quickly, after he took us all out 🤣 at least the BMW was an honest mistake… a missed braking point… we’ve all done it. The second part, was just reckless. Ahh well, hope for better luck next time 🤞

[@Ben_LaBroca]

He lost his mind! Driving head on into traffic is crazy! I think you’re right to take a break buddy - you’ve had a bruising few weeks!!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

After we all survived T1 unscathed, I thought “we’re on for a good race here”. One lap later… 🤬🤬🤬🤬 haha

[@gar125]

It was great sharing the track with you in, I think, the race you entered previously with Michi Hoyer. Its a real shame you had such a bad race. I found LfM rf2 to be amazing and because its a small group every week, you see the same names and everyone (mostly) respects each other. It's my go to sim as I'm in love with rf2 and btcc. A break sounds like a good idea. I've gone through periods of nearly every race being ruined by somebody or my own mistakes. It passes with time and becomes fun again. Hope to see you back on track sooner rather then later

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahhh yeah, I saw your comment in the chat before the race and was going to reply, but ran out of time as the session ended! I got spun out at exactly the same corner in that race too, lap 3 I think. To be fair, I had a bit of a slide mid-corner and had to correct some oversteer… that meant I couldn’t accelerate as early as usual, and it caught the guy out behind… he drove into me and spun me off. It was frustrating, but wasn’t his fault… if I hadn’t have slid, there wouldn’t have been a problem. So because that race was a write-off, I tried to salvage it with this one… and it was even worse! So yeah, it’s the culmination of 5-6 weeks of bad luck, rather than just this race. To be fair, the grid was great… we all got through T1 fantastically cleanly, and the racing was really good. Just one moment of madness, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time! I’ll be back in a couple of weeks, feeling more positive I’m sure! Cheers bud, hopefully see you on track again soon 😃

[@davidontherailroad]

I'm really sorry you had a bad race man. It must be soul destroying when you don't get many opportunities to get online. It would be really good if they released some guidance on which tracks and series have the most incidents. It would be really helpful for those who don't get much time to race, and they have the data.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate. I think most of the time it just comes down to bad luck… and being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The way everybody got through T1 safely suggests this was a really clean grid. Just one moment of madness, from one driver. If I’d have missed it by just 1 second, it would probably have been a fantastic race!

[@HazChem2285]

Really sorry about your run of bad luck, Chris; I can understand why you are demotivated at the moment. I hope you get your (SIM racing) mojo back soon, because we all enjoy your videos (yours is always my first go-to video when I see a new one from you). Don't despair; it can only get better.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you very much for saying that. I’ll be back in a week or two. I’m sure with a little bit of a break, I’ll soon miss it and fancy giving it another try! Cheers 😃

[@missedl3tha1.16]

So sad to see this Chris. Hope a little break reignites the fire! I had a nightmare last week on ACC LFM at Hungaroring but the contrast this week is stark. Watkins Glen (which was an ELO and SR killer last season) has been fantastic, I’ve climbed out or Rookies and am up to high Bronze+ and nearly 8.0 SR! Hope to see you back soon.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Brilliant! Yeah I usually find Watkins is a ratings killer… mainly because the walls are so close. Cars crash in front of you, but have nowhere to go but bounce back into the track! Good to hear you’ve had a positive week on it. Maybe I should have chosen that combo instead! I’ll be back soon… think I just need a break to recharge the batteries!

[@MrRedders]

You should commentate on other peoples races if you're struggling for enthusiasm with the driving side. Your commentary is superb!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahhh thank you! That might not be a bad idea actually… would be a good way to rediscover some enthusiasm! Cheers 😃

[@robertodams]

That’s actually a great idea, as well as your own races of course 😊 I’d love to hear some commentary on some of my races!

[@jester3265]

Two great races brother, side by side action is always such a rush. Nice racing! Always enjoy your commentaries 👍👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, I am loving this BTCC series at the moment. Great fun to race in, but great fun to make videos of too!

[@nieko3038]

That’s so frustrating. What was the guy thinking? Open lobby rage. Some have absolutely no control. Hang in there Chris

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, I’m sure after a little break I’ll be starting to miss it, so will be eager to come back again 👍

[@stormforce9521]

It's sad witnessing so much anger in these on line races. Especially when you're on the receiving end and totally an innocent party. Understand the frustration , take the break my friend and we'll see you back on track sometime in the near future.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thanks Tony, yeah a bit of a break and I’m sure I’ll start missing it and want to try a race again. The last month or so, it’s started to feel like a bit of chore with all the disasters 🤣 cheers mate

[@shawndevore]

I totally understand. My ELO and Safety Rating have taken a beating this season on LFM for exactly the same reason. I thought maybe it was my driving, but it seems as though the more people that have Joined LFM, its really brought out drivers that could really use some lessons. maybe they should make it a little harder to get out of Rookies. The last two weeks were on tracks that I should have done really good at but i've been taken out of every single race where when I've been in a top 10 position for stupid mistakes just like the poor race re-entry you got dealt here. its super frustrating to the point that I have considered taking a break from or leaving LFM all together. My main frustration is my saftey rating and ELO get destroyed for things that I have no control over its an issue that I have with LFm and Iracing to a lesser extent.

[@reecewatt4212]

Understandable frustrations here Chris. Petulant… is eloquently put. Despite the frustration, your POV of the situation and video as a whole was as entertaining as always. The passion is clear to see. We’ll all be looking forward to your next upload when the times right. Hope it’s a clean one for ya!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you mate, yeah not the type of video I wanted to make. But sim racing really isn’t giving me much else to work with at the moment 🤣 I know it’s just a bad run, and I’ll clear it soon. Cheers

[@phippsa3]

You seem to have your best races in ACC. Keep up the good work Chris

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

You’re exactly right mate. In the video, I said I could count the number of clean races I’ve had on one hand. Well, all of those were ACC ones!

[@JC_303]

This is why I stick to iRacing, the cost barrier and SR/IR system weed out the worst of these drivers, it's not perfect and I still occasionally have to take a few hours/days off but it always pulls me back. Take your time mate and see you on track.

[@LentoLane]

Ah mate sorry to see another race ruined by reckless drivers. Hope to see more BTCC from you soon once the blow is over. It’s really a fun series and I enjoy seeing the racing in it when things like that don’t happen!

[@LDFR]

Hey Chris mate, completely understandable that you're fed up and need a break. Some things just cannot be explained, such as that driver purposely accelerating into a column of incoming cars, and you (out of all people) having to punctually get caught in that, on your one weekly race. That's just straight up rotten luck and I feel for you man.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Lorenzo, appreciate that man. I actually did an earlier race and got wiped out at exactly the same corner on lap 3 in that one! I wasn’t as annoyed because I was to blame… I had a little slide mid-corner, had to correct it which meant I didn’t get on the gas as early as usual. It caught the guy out behind and he ran into the back of me. But that one was on me, if I’d not had the slide, I wouldn’t have been hit. I came into this one knowing it was my last race of the week, and boy did it hurt when it was over on lap 2!

[@LDFR]

@@chrisrogerssimracing That's very unfortunate Chris...Sending you some better luck wishes for when you're back!

[@EhPlusSimRacing]

This is why i mainly do private community races, and only occasionally ranked events. Enjoyable races were far outnumbered by frustrating ones in public servers, whether it was ranked or not.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, that’s how I’ve been looking at it… the ratio of enjoyable races versus non-enjoyable ones. Its usually around 50/50, which I can take. But this past 2 months, it’s probably been like 80/20 in favour of bad races. So that’s just too much for me, and why I’ve decided to step back from it. I think you’re spot on… private or community races will be a good way for me to start enjoying it again. Thanks mate 😃

[@revelationrevolution153]

LOve your content mate, as an ageing sim racer I totally get where youre coming from. Im spending a lot of time on ps4 gt7 the current daily race Bathurst in the group3 highlights how good ghosting can sometimes be in helping the flow , gameplay and most importantly fun.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, the more frustrated I get with this, the more I warm to the idea of ghosting. I was always dead against it in my early sim racing days, because I wanted it to feel as realistic as possible. But after so many incidents like this, I’m siding towards going back to a more ‘video game’ feel - compromising a bit of realism for the sake of completing races and enjoying it again. Thanks 😃

[@revelationrevolution153]

I was worried it would make me a lazier driver and ingrain bad habits but the benefits of vastly increased track time and race experience are more important to the casual racer. Gt7 seems to have the balance almost right where it’s not so sensitive it ruins all race craft .

[@BOTRacing]

I watched this video about 20 times, and not for the reason you all might think. I am devastated that Chris might take a break from racing and producing videos. Chris, your videos are one of the reasons I got in to sim racing in the first place. I have said it in the past and I'll say it again, I want to race with you. Times just never seem to work out since I live in North America. Please, remember that there will always be drivers who have moments and make bad decisions. I would love to see you in a series that has penalties for such actions. A series with moderators that take actions against such things. I truly do hope you don't take break and continue to race and produce videos. Cheers mate!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you Adam, that’s very kind of you to say. I won’t be gone for long… just a short break to hopefully make me start missing racing, and be a bit more enthusiastic about it again. This past 5-6 weeks has been a slow build-up of frustration, disaster after disaster, so just need to hit the reset button for a bit. I’ll be back soon 😃

[@ericjack3218]

Chris, you have one of the best racing channels out there! I hope you find your drive to, uh, drive soon! ;-) I gotta say once again, you should join a league/club and race there. I know you've said finding the time is hard, and you like to try different sims and racing series. But I think that's the only way you can truly enjoy racing. For as good as LFM is, it's still basically just open public lobbies, which are the worst place to race if you don't want to get punted by drivers who don't give a $#!^.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you Eric, yes I think I’ve come to the same conclusion now… only so many chances I can give to online racing. I think community races will be the way forward, and something I’ll start to look at 😃

[@PaulMartIn-dm5oi]

My finger was hovering over the join button for this race but the driving gods saved me, phone went and missed it. Your lust for full grids is probably your downfall, there's not enough splits to segregate the chaff. You need to join us in the Legends next week at Mont Tremblant, beautiful track, fair racing and with these cars, bloody hilarious. We allow people of all abilities, so don't be shy, we won't bite! 😂

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you, yes I will make another Wednesday appearance soon. Saw those cars on itv at the weekend and thought they looked great fun. Think I raced them once before in AC. As for this race, after all getting through T1 ok, I thought “we’re in for a good one here”. Then WHAM! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@PaulMartIn-dm5oi]

@@chrisrogerssimracing Have absolutely no idea what the idiot at the chicane was doing. Looked more a move in anger, rather than an honest attempt to rejoin. Mind you, I have tried to spin the car by dropping the clutch and just getting loads of grip and piling into a wall on the odd occasion, pretty sure that looked strange to an onlooker. 😂

[@12micah]

This Monza race has seemingly brought out the worst in people. I was intentionally wrecked earlier this week and the offender got a 28 day ban 😬

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Jeez, that must have been a properly bad move. I don’t think any decision has been made on this incident yet, haven’t seen anything pop up in the protest results. It was a real shame, because the rest of the racing looked great. Just one moment of madness spoiled it.

[@kelvinator5088]

Don't let the bad moments spoil the good moments. They are part of racing.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, yeah I try not to. Just been one disaster after another, building up this past 4-6 weeks! I’ll take a week or two to chill then I’m sure I’ll be back to normal again!

[@stalksey]

feel your pain Chris mate. recently been struggling to stay motivated myself due to some pretty awful multiclass deaths on iracing. been really enjoying btcc grids on rf2 though, this is unusual. i'm sure next time will be better 👍🏻

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

To be fair, it’s one isolated incident in this race. The way everybody got through T1 so cleanly suggests there are a lot of fair racers on this grid! It was just one moment of madness - and I was in exactly the wrong place, and the wrong time! Had I missed that, I’m sure it would have been a cracking race 😃

[@lowfastracing]

You can't be mad at him, I'm afraid he suffered a serious brain damage from the first collision. :( (and we could talk for hours too about what the BMW driver think about that "overtaking"... that was so ridiculous too)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha exactly! It was a really bad mistake from the BMW, so I did have sympathy for the guy. But I lost that sympathy very quickly when he took us all out 🤣

[@redfrontdoor]

Annoying when other people keep spoiling your racing but theres a ray of hope. I can recommend some good friendly fair racing on a Wednesday night somewhere.. 😊😊

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

I blame you lads, for tricking me into thinking BTCC racing was clean 😆 I will be back to make some more Wednesday appearances. Certainly think I’m ready to concede defeat about persisting with online open lobbies.

[@combatwombat71]

Unlucky Chris. It happens all the time across the various platforms and servers. I don't mind seeing it in my rear view mirror, but when it spoils your own race, I feel your pain! Take some R&R and come back soon!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you Rob, yeah it’s worn me down a bit, this past month or two. I think I’m at the point now that I need to wait until I actually miss it and WANT to race again. Currently, I’m entering races not because I want to, but because I feel it’s the only way to break the bad run. Which hasn’t worked 🤣 a bit of time off will work wonders. Cheers!

[@kyuzotatsuya9641]

Wow, thats one of the worst. Enjoy your break bud 👍

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Thank you mate, yeah a couple weeks off and I’m sure I’ll start missing it, and want to get back in again 😃

[@PETER01510]

Sorry about your race Chris....I had a similar experience not too long ago and my enthusiasm was tested to the limit....I rethought my approach and it seems practice and consistency were the problem causing racecraft to suffer....I see you don't have too much time on your chosen sim so possibly focus on one for now to fine tune your approach....speed doesn't seem to be your problem and it isn't your fault but maybe let the others take the strain when the accidents happen. This isn't teaching granny to suck eggs....your quicker than me and you run in higher splits...I feel your pain Chris...good luck...

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Hi Peter, thank you mate. You’re absolutely right… I have noticed that, of the few cleaner races I’ve had, they’ve all been in ACC. So I reckon maybe it’s time to start focussing on that a bit more. Rather than trying to give all these other series extra chances and feeling disappointed! Cheers

[@KlerikerNero]

I was in the same position. I just wanted to farm SR in ACC on Kylami sprint but got collected way to often. I even tried to start from the back, but still people are just not careful enough. At this point I started reporting everyone who did not apologized. And I stayed away from sprint races because people are less aggressive in longer races. Also some racetrack provoke more crashes than others, so I will never race on track like Kylami, Bathursts anymore.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha, yeah I have started to pick and choose my races a bit more carefully. On iRacing in particular, you look at some combos and think “there’s no way I’d survive that” 🤣

[@jester3265]

Wow, that rejoin 😢

[@daviddavies3637]

Goddammit. There are some idiots. It's weird because you're in much higher lobbies than I am and yet the standard of driving is no better. I've had 4 split 5 races on LFM this week. Only one ended in disaster when a slow back marker decided to drift into the racing line between turns 2 and 3 at Watkins Glen. Hope you reported him.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

This is the thing that really baffles me. I’m finding the racing standards are worse than they’ve ever been in my races. It also coincides with me racing in a higher split than I ever have done before. Clearly there are a lot of fast drivers, who maybe lack a bit of control, composure or discipline.

[@Walt1119]

Thats too bad there Chris! Yes, it is very frustrating when someone does something stupid like that and ruins other people's race. One of the guys on our forum the other day made the comment that SCB had ruined the online racing for him, he just doesn't want to do it any more.. Come back and race with us Buddy, you know the guys at SCB we all have fun and the racing is so clean, yes we have the occasional incident but that's racing.. Hope to see ya soon! w.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Ahh thank you Walt, yeah I really need to make more of an effort and try to join some more again. My problem is, I often feel too tired come the night time here. I find it easier to race late afternoon, then have some food and have an early night 🤣 but I promise I’ll try to turn up for a couple more.

[@Walt1119]

@@chrisrogerssimracing I KNOW exactly what your saying,, for me the scb races are in the afternoon, I really don't think I could run the evening races as I am usually wore out before that time would even come!!!!! So the scb events work perfect for me! I've been just running the Friday and Sunday events, I got burnt out awhile back so im just doing those two each week which seems to be working out ok for me.. Take care Buddy!

Car bowling :( Bad luck, things will get better!

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha it totally was! Couldn’t believe it as I span back around and saw cars flying in all directions 🤣

[@JimmySmithYT]

bad times bro. I haven't seen any stupid drivers for a couple of years now. The only thing I can recommend is getting your irating above 2.5k. Easier said than done when you're getting wrecked though

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I think the 2.5k ballpark is a little out of reach for me, with the infrequency that I race. I only do 1-2 races a week, so if I do have a disaster and lose -100 irating, it usually takes me a month to get it back. If I could do a few races each day, I’m sure it would be easier. I’ve made it up to 1.8k and think that’s as far as I’ll realistically go.

[@woodcote7617]

Chris this is very sad news in deed and the community, your followers and SIM racing will sorely miss your enthusiasm and unique channel content. But please confirm these incidents and actions are generally found in 'public' lobbies so for those new to online racing and seeing this YT know this is not the standard of online racing that can be found in well managed and structured communities regardless of the platform and vehicle class. I am sure we all wish you very well and hope you will once again venture back to YT to bring us your thoroughly enjoyable recount of your SIM racing adventures

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Absolutely, the smaller and more tightly-knit the community, the better the racing. When you have huge participation or open lobbies, you’re always going to get one moment of madness somewhere. And that’s all this was. The race would have been great, otherwise… the way everybody got through Monza T1 safely shows it was a pretty respectful grid. Just one guy lost his head for a moment, and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I’d love to do more smaller community racing, but rarely feel awake enough to race in the evenings when most communities run. I prefer an afternoon race, which is why open lobbies suit me better. But I’ve had to draw a line under them for now, the odds of me enjoying/finishing a race just aren’t good at the moment. I’ll be back soon!

[@fil_lokka]

Do think the higher the split the worse the rage becomes, I find lower / rookie splits do still having crashes but people just carry on without so much frustration / retaliation

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

You’re absolutely right. I’ve noticed it too. Lower splits seem to be more honest mistakes. The past 5-6 weeks have been the worst I’ve experienced, and it’s also coincided with me racing in a higher split than I ever have before. Seems more people up here have impressive speed, but maybe not the ability or discipline to control it properly.

[@geertvangent7508]

I turn to Forza Horizon 5 and BeamNG for some change of scenery when I get fed up with all the crashing in real sim racing. Forza also has ranking etc but just way less serious. Like you I'm also on limited time to race.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I have Wreckfest and Euro Truck Simulator, which I use for exactly the same type of stress relief. I’m also considering giving the F1 game a try, purely for offline / AI racing.

[@bricktop2090]

You tried the New 1.5 AM2 update yet Chris? the new tire model makes it a game changer👌

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

I haven’t yet, but have read lots of good things about it. Will certainly check it out at some point.

[@bricktop2090]

@chrisrogerssimracing it's a shame that you have lost your excitement for live sim racing due to the daily Toss Pots" we all deal with on there, I did too a few years back, I still race but not much, also I know that you're editing is practically a full time job" so Chris" even tho I enjoy your videos and commentary so much, I understand you have to enjoy life and do other things, whatever you decide to do for the future" know that I believe you are a talented guy🍺🍺

[@jrssimracing5092]

Kind of expect more for a top split lobby

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, it’s baffled me. The standards I’ve experienced lately are the worst I’ve ever seen, but it’s coinciding with racing at a higher split than I’ve ever raced! It just doesn’t add up!

[@charleschilders2041]

I had seen a couple of racers than race with a fixed group. It improves the racing a lot. It actually adds a little flavor to the videos as there can be a lot of friendly jabber between them. Maybe you could put something together with your subs. It is hard if you do not have regular times to race. I am thinking use something like Sim Racing System then let subs know when you will be able to race with a day or two notice.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah you’re exactly right. My previous rf2 BTCC video was a community race, and it was so much better than this. I think now is the time for me to do more league / community stuff. Trouble is, I’m not much of an evening racer. I prefer to do a race mid or late afternoon, before I get too tired. And there aren’t so much community options at that time of the day.

[@jasonbradley7057]

Hey Chris, tough break that one, This is the sole reason I packed up online racing, at least I can predict to some degree what AI cars are doing. What were the repercussions from LFM For the driving standards? Have you thought about setting up your own server? Have a brake, have a kitkat. J

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

I filed a protest with LFM but haven’t seen an outcome yet. I guess usually it would be a rating penalty. Imagine it would only be a ban if it’s a repeat offence. We’ll see how they view it. I did used to host some servers back in the early days when I co-ran the SCB community, but must admit it got a bit too time-consuming to do on a regular basis. But maybe some one-off special events could be do-able. I’ll have a think 😃

[@JRo250]

I wish these races be judged afterwards and this type of thing be made a disqualifying action from the series. Not banned outright, but moved to a "I'm with stoopid" class where they can do this to each other to their heart's content. Hang in there, Chris. Watch your happier videos to feel better 😉

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Cheers, yeah to be fair, LFM is really good with its reporting system. They will act quickly and publish results of protests, hand out punishments and advise drivers what to do differently next time. Of all the sim platforms, it’s the best protest system I’ve seen. Hopefully it will help this guy not do the same thing in future 🤞

[@Gaso_Meter]

Everyone knows this extremely frustrating time. In addition, the popularity of sim racing makes it harder to find "good" races. I often wonder if some people wouldn't be better off with an arcade racer. But who am I to judge?

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah it always makes me feel better when I head so many people empathise with this frustration. At least I know I’m not the only one 🤣

Hi Chris - Is LFM easy to sign up to? Wouldnt mind joining a league tbh - AMS2 or Raceroom

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Hello mate, LFM is not the quickest to sign up to. Registering is easy, but to get a licence takes a bit of time… you have to do an extended time trial on a practice server… hit a certain number of clean laps, and hit a time target for those laps combined.

Mate, what a disaster that race was! Please report the guy, who drove in the wrong direction although he saw the oncoming traffic. Than at least he will for some time not ruin any further races. And to calm yourself and get over the frustrating races, give at LFM ACC and the BMW M2 Cup a try! The races start mostly with just one split but you can have a lot of fun there and find fair drivers of every pace. In your LFM profile it is clearly visible that you never tried the M2 at LFM. Change that! Now! Please! 😀

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, I fired in a protest this morning. Thanks for the recommendation about the M2, must admit I’d never even considered trying that series, but I’ll definitely check it out. A change of pace is what I need right now. Cheers Joe!

Darn. Looks like you have the same bad luck as I had yesterday. Lost ratings in 3 races in a row. Just like this

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, in a really bad run at the moment. Whenever I see a spin in front now, my heart sinks… I just KNOW they’re heading straight for me and there’s nowhere I can go to save myself. It’s got really tedious 😩

[@pappyracing]

Chin up buddy your due for a good one. There are a lot of bad drivers out there. You would be proud of my rejoin in my last race check it out and let me know what you think.

Parents need to stop buying their kids pc’s and racing sims.

[@ondrejkratochvil4589]

Man, you need to sync your simracing schedule with SCB, otherwise you'll develop some serious PTS from all those public lobbies murder attempts on you :)

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Haha yeah, I think this was one bloody nose too many for me 🤣 I’ve always tried to persist with online open lobby racing, but think I’m ready to concede defeat now. I think maybe sticking to community Racing for a while will be the best way to start enjoying it again 👍

Humans suck. Bottom line. 😂 I no longer identify as human.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Less humans, more dogs. That’s what we need.

I normally think these kind of sim racing videos are for losers. And this one is no exception.

[@JC_303]

Its ok to like different things mate. For instance you prefer to roll around on the floor with another sweaty man on top of you. We prefer racing.

[@ElementsMMA]

You're not racing though, go to twitch@@JC_303

[@optimalpowersimracing6625]

Lol at the people who stan these garbage games and LFM

[@dogzero1]

I gave up MP racing because of things like this. And have you noticed how bad drivers will out break you into corners hoping that you will give up even though you are on the right line. They don't care if they take you out in the process.

[@chrisrogerssimracing]

Yeah, more and more I find myself having to move aside to let people through, to avoid being taken out. Definitely takes the fun right out of it.
