turn 1 start was definitely a, "If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver."

[@gamerzone0764]

31:06 its does look like Tiametmarduk has been sand bagging. Little do they know that his own equipment is the sandbag itself.

[@willabruzese6291]

Also Ben is driving perfect lines Ben: driven by ai

[@derekmakowski4792]

It’s amazing how much you had to deal with and were still insanely faster than everyone, your pace is great!!

I race on keyboard (I’m a broke kid with a 7 year old laptop and a phone)

It was nice to be able to race with Ben, even when he passed me on lap 3 never to be seen again :c

[@dantheracer16]

Congrats Ben! That was a hell of a drive. That was a very strange league race indeed! I actually think this might have been the first league race I have watched you win. Hopefully you do plenty more of it in the future, I personally think that's what you should be doing more of.

[@rez493]

He definitely needs to do a league race again. It's been too long since the last time he's regularly racing competitively in a league

It is so cool that the end of the race was so simmilar to the abu-Dhabi 2021, a crash on turn 14 causes a safety car and the 1st car was with old tyres and the others behind with new tyres

Season 5 pending....

[@franciscocoimbra7061]

Go to a league with Tom97 and team up with him that would be something else

[@gruhnd9711]

Honestly, Tom is way too fast for Ben atm. Ben would have to find a second per lap to race With him

[@A.schutte]

Tom basically e sports level

[@denja964]

Tom is basically esports level so Ben would find it difficult to compete

[@rez493]

The thing is, if Ben really practicing he can be as fast/even faster than Tom. I think he just need to do a league race regularly again to regain a good pace. If he does that I'm sure he can compete with Tom.

[@yar2000]

@@rez493 Yep, Ben is seriously fast if he gets into the flow of league racing. I loved his league racing video's with the Aussie and NZL gang, hope we get something alike sometime soon.

Thanks for racing in our league, could’ve been in that race but I felt hella sick lmfao

[@luke8986]

the most entertaining f1 video ever

[@steveawesome9538]

What I Learned today. 1. The commentators have never watched Ben's channel. 2. Fanatec charges entirely too much for their product. 3. I can probably use my T300RS and TCLM pedals for a while and be pretty happy with my purchase. At the time of this comment, Fanatec had already released their budget DD wheel base, which appears to be a better value for the product level.

[@DeanHopster]

They never told is Ben the man was joining us. So was a surprise to us. And rain in Abu Dhabi as well? Lots of shocks for this event mate!

[@DeanHopster]

100% correct. I never did before, just casted the PPR League i have broadcasted before. Ben was a last minute sub guest and yes I didn't know his issues. But then I casted 20 drivers for many races all season. So would not be fair to all the other drivers to just focus on Ben for the one race he subbed in for.

[@shukriwafiq5220]

Oh my god the late safety car was identical to the real abu dhabi gp!!

[@TheAsimMohammed]

I honestly can't see myself splashing out on any Fanatec products, due to the problems experienced by so many. A shame really.

[@c.d.4317]

The end was quite literally an alternate universe ending of the 2021 F1 season.

[@ShadowWolfe]

That thing with the wheel, if you reload the control scheme after having it reconnect once, it should be fine. Sucks that Codies don't have an automatic profile switcher by default to automatically detect it.
