My First REAL Races of 2023

Super Gt gets 10 sec time penalty because of weight and still manages to get 5th place and wins a irl race shows how well Scott Speed trained him. Keep pushing champ 😊🎉👊🏽

You're demonstrating the very essence of racing. If you're not constantly struggling at the edges of grip and power, you're not really trying. Every turn, lots of little adjustments, a bit of a wiggle, all the trappings of someone dancing on the razor's edge of control. Excellent showing.

Seeing you driving on track inspired me to do the same, so a month ago I went to my first track day - with the family wagon.

The commentary adds so much, I was trying to watch some real life, PoV races on youtube but all I found was raw, uncut, no commentary stuff and I am sure there's an audience for that as well, but for me it was like... watch one lap and then I am out. Where as here I could watch 8 hours of this. Big congratulation on the win, hope to see more in the future.

Never comment on videos or anything, but been following you for about a year now and just want to say it's absolutely amazing that you finished first, an accomplishment you can be proud of for the rest of your life, Congrats brother!

I think the reason why we are here even though not a GT content is how you comment on your own race. so much fun in it. Well deserved for the 1st position!

Great to see you joining us in the mx5’s 🤙 FYI, difference in engine power is down to the team/driver developing the car not the class you’re in as the car technical regs are identical, silverstone is the track you’ll see it the most with those long straights!

[@marksutherlandjr.2121]

Ive never driven the MX5 on real track, but it's my favorite drive on iRacing. If you can extract speed from the MX5 you can drive anything fast. It's quite unforgiving at times. It doesn't have much power so I found the secret was to carry as much speed as I can in the corners. Keep the momentum up in that car and you can take time off laps quickly. 1600-2200 irating MX5 on say Okayama Full is as competitive a race as you could ever ask for. Love it. Great Drive GT' I love your IRL racing video. There my favorite.

[@ElsinoreRacer]

This is a very good story. Trust me. I had this once. A million years ago, I was autocrossing a 1989 CRX Si in SCCA events. I should mention that I worked at a Honda dealership, and had as demos a series of CRX Si's. Sticker in the window and dealer tags. I was new but in a points chase. So when I saw a flyer for a local Corvette Club holding a non-SCCA autocross, but claiming to be following their rules and classifications, it seemed like a good chance to practice. I show up and I quickly notice no imports. Like, I saw none. I go to sign up for D-Stock (CRX, GTi, etc). None. How about E-stock (Mr-2, Fiero, etc) None. So I have to sign up for F-Stock (Mustangs, Camaros, etc). And their "stock" included massive rubber and wheels, open headers, anything. "I have no chance.." I said. Until I took the track walk. Hmm.. The course was in some of the parking and the staging area of a drag strip. And half the drag strip to a cone you pivoted around. The section leading onto the dragstrip had a section designed to bust everyone down to almost walking speed to keep speed down on the dragstrip. But it was set up for very wide cars with even wider rubber. I was pretty sure that I could JUST thread the needle flat IF I pitched it at the end and caught the drift just at track's edge. Or spin off and eat guardrail. Hmm. If I do this, where will I brake down from mach 1.2 to the cone? Dragstrip was featureless. I used to carry a white shoe-polish stick with me to mark sidewalls for pressure adjustments. So I made a series of small hash marks in white on the far side. I decided this was "stock." So, it takes me a few tries, but I finally stick the section, vibrate a cone at the exit, carry massive speed through there compared to anything else. Braked a little early for the crazy speed difference, and just finished tidy. I was alone, and pitted in the boonies. I couldn't hear the loudspeakers. I changed rubber, gathered my kit, and went to the trophy presentation. They get to F-Stock, and they announce everyone from position 32. The car, the year, the driver, any sponsors. Takes a long time. I knew I did well, so I didn't focus in until 10th place. Got nervous by 5th place. By third place I figured they screwed me. "And in first place, some dude in a Japanese rollerskate with a dealer tag" and then the guy walked off-stage. Walked up, grabbed the trophy and said "Thank You" loudly. Gracious, the crowd was not. To say the least. I will mention that I am 6'2" 240 and wrestled in college. I only mention it because I think it mattered just then. So, driving out in my stock as stock can be CRX, between the rows of Mustangs and Camaros with side-pipes and rubber four inches beyond the bodywork, I made sure to hold the 1st place trophy out of the sunroof. Pure Gold.
