This AMAZING race was overshadowed by an AGGRESSIVE SMURF! | iRacing Porsche Cup at Silverstone

[@Dizturb86]

Mic is perfectly fine to me Dave. And honestly this is exactly the reason why I think smurf account shouldn't be allowed on iRacing. You can't be racing drivers that aggressively when you know you're a pro driver and they're not. And of course that last punt was getting close to if not completely protest worthy. Yes he might not have intended to but everybody in the higher splits should know that you need to have a bit of a gap to the car in front in the braking zone. What a tool.

Mic is great. Agree 100% with your Smurf comments. I am sick to death of these guys NOT qualifying, starting from the back and then sending it in every corner to overtake. They’re obviously faster so bloody qualify and start in front of me rather than ruining MY safety rating and my race. In AUS they’re called Wankers

[@pablocampy]

That's not the case. Irating change is purely calculated by you taking rating from people below you and people above you taking Irating from you. The amount you get/lose is based on the irating difference between you and each person. Nothing to do with starting position.

[@arkustheone277]

In iRacing, owning your mistake and apologizing will always make things better. Will it save you from getting protested always? No. But it will more than you think. It's also good to recognize your mistakes so you can learn from them. There's no reason to drive like this especially, like you said in the video, they wouldn't drive that way on their main. Smurf accounts don't bother me unless that's the case. Drive like you would on both and I'm fine with it. I get that you need to maintain IR at a level to stay in your esport team and drive those big events in top split... but just own when you F up and apologize. It really is that simple. Always enjoy the videos Dave! Mic sounds great as well.

The mic sounded fine to me on my old Yamaha YST-M5 speakers I bought in the 1980's. (never throw anything away is my motto) 😂 If poeple find it a bit noisy you can always add a noise cancelling filter in OBS. Good racing as always Dave. Keep it up. 👍

[@jeffabachman]

Just want to say thank you for all the continued content! I'm finally buying an iRacing membership from your link and I'm really excited largely from watching your content. I have been trying to enjoy ACC but there's something off about the feel of the tire model and hearing you mention it gives me hope for iRacing! Thanks!

[@TheSnaveeelPlaysGames]

iRacing feels good, I don’t have much reference to irl but if it feels good to me, I’m happy. I’ve got all the other sims installed but none of them feel as good (to me) as iRacing does; you’ll love it!

[@daviddavies3637]

There's a few things not quite right with ACC's physics in general. I mean, how does someone who struggles on some tracks suddenly get on the podium, including win, at almost every wet race? Hell of a thing when you're constantly praying for rain. Cars also seem to spin or spear off at the slightest touch. Having said that, I've tried iRacing and was actually less impressed by that, mainly because of its net code problem and the fact that you have to constantly pay to get anywhere with it. I can't justify the cost when there are so many other titles out there that don't have the same pay to play model.

Thanks for shedding light on these guys Dave. I don't have much time to race between my newly born son, my dog having just had surgery, and my wife's recovery. So when I do finally get the time to get into a Porsche race. Even though I'm middle split there's always one of the these guys. I've been lucky to avoid them on two races but on one it was just blatant disrespect. Ruins my fuckin day, pardon the language, but it does. iRacing needs to hold eSports drivers smurf accounts to a higher standard. They know who they are surely!

Right off the bat - this mic sounds great. I'm a sim-racing audio engineer, so how you sound is important to me. You tried a different mic sometime ago. You thankfully went back to the Shure. But again, this Beyer headset mic sounds great.

[@monfoxtrot3123]

Been following you for many months, a year maybe, but I just started on iRacing. It sure is very convenient and lots of people to race. Struggling to get out of rookies because... Ego, you know, too much fighting for positions... But one thing I'vee noticed right away - for me, or my racing style at least, you can't really push right at the limit on iRacing, compared to rFactor 2 and RaceRoom. It's the fastest way to kiss the barriers.

Mic is fine, smurfs are a bugger. Good race overall.

[@evertdevries8814]

Dave, From about 21:45 you played the race from inside the car behind you. Replay that and listen to the way he manipulates his gears and throttle. It's different to the way you do it and he is gaining on you because of it. He trails the throttle completely closed much less than you and has more 'pulling revs' going - the throttle is more open. I'm not sure I'm explaining it right but it's a known technique and I believe Michael Schumacher was a proponent of this technique as was Ayrton Senna. A difficult balance but one that would be nice to achieve.

[@davecamyt]

I wouldn't read too much into that. The replay sounds, gear changes etc is a little off in replays so it probably looks different.

[@diegozuccarelli5079]

Smurfs or not smurfs, top split Fixed Pcup might as well stand alone in the rookie class

[@alejandroleonmagallanes4455]

Hi Dave!! Why don't you use the active pedal as an accelerator? And you configure it to detect loss of traction. It's a waste to put it as a clutch.

[@davecamyt]

I'm still testing the passive throttle. I just installed the damper yesterday so I'll run that for a few days then use an active pedal as a throttle. That way I'll be able to tell if it's worth it 👍

[@Rich_Jamison]

No issues with audio here! And yeah, that guy is definitely why most folks are against allowing Smurf accounts on iRacing. It's a shame, really. I wonder if he hit the incident limit or just decided to park himself?

[@Lars131]

Amazing sound from mic and you don't have the other one in front, which annoys me because it must disturb you. Keep the headset!

[@bertram-raven]

Audio is clean. Just be careful not to put the mic too close. Just like the Shure, if you are too close to the mic it amplifies the bass in your voice and so lead to unexpected clipping. Have the mic just below chin height, aiming up to your mouth.

[@jamesdaniel8020]

The headset mic is always going to be a bit "hissy." You might be able to use a de-esser plugin for OBS or VST if you want to tamp it down. I personally couldn't stand having an SM7B in my face while racing but it is one of the best mics in its class.

[@mr1k666]

I think editing wise, saying Onboard - [Driver's name] at the top left is amazing. Is it also possible to add after their name which position they're at? It would make it a lot easier to understand, especially when you're watching this high. Looks great otherwise, keep it up, amazing race!!

Hey Dave, Nice race 👍 coms were all good, despite you not being able to say it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And completely agree, that Smurf drove like a dick 👍

[@SlartibardfastMG]

Hi Dave, Beyer Dynamics have a much more sensitive high range microphone so your esses and t's are more prominent with that mic, I noticed it straight away, maybe knock the tops of the mic eq just a step and that should fix it, but apart from that it works just fine :)

[@davecamyt]

I have not yet made any changes apart from the noise gate on my Rodecaster. I'll have a tinker 😁

Great race dave under pressure for most of it you soaked it up well. Is it just me or is your trail braking long and more progressive with the Simicube pedals ?

[@davecamyt]

I've not noticed but quite possibly 😁

[@sumthLoue]

Some things I notice with jus about every headset mic is no matter if it sounds good like yours it does a weird compression to the voice and makes you a little more quiet. And thats exactly the difference , its good thou but keep in mind I have a fairly nice sound setup so maybe i hear it better than some.

[@CWolfGaming]

Mic sounds good

[@SailorJoe89]

Dave, The new headset/mic is just fine. Great segment, I really enjoyed it. I like what you are presenting with the different onboards, they add another dimension to the race we are watching.

[@glitchinthematrix9306]

You prefer the mechanic simucube throttle over the active pedal as a throttle Dave?

I'm still testing the passive throttle. Just fitted the damper today so I'll run that for a few days then I can properly compare to using the active pedal as a throttle. 👍

[@zavadil_racing7731]

We all have bad races. Not excusing the poor driving standards here but as an 8k driver myself I can genuinely say that I've raced like a complete bellend multiple times... as long as you say sorry and own up to your mistakes. Whether thats the case or not idk (seems Chadwick claims he apologized in a comment below) but we all need to foster good competition and if you do utilize a smurf account just because youre doing L2F challenges doesnt mean you get to send it from a different zipcode without impunity.

Mic seemed fine to me. Great race, brilliantly edited and commentated as usual. I think the Smurf should be banned from a second account for life, and put on a one year suspended sentence for his “proper account”. How many people’s races did he ruin through his selfishness? And this was just one race, which happened to be caught on YT. Chances are he has ruined 100s of other people’s races through his complete selfishness. A dick Is a very generous epithet. A total see you en tee is how I would probably describe him, I reckon.

Can’t believe that guy, the way he drove is incredibly selfish. Unfortunately racing games don’t handle car to car physics very well which doesn’t help matters, but there’s absolutely no reason to drive like this!! There’s far too many ppl out there like this.
