What drive last weekend, many more podiums to follow 😎

I watched your last race at Laguna Seca(on Sky). The commentators were having a fit! Excellent drive.

Agreed Sky just need better commentator and producers that actually can tell can keep up with the racing. Have been watching indycar and champcars on and off but here in Europe they just do not give it the love it needs the F2 and F3 races have better commentators. Yet Indycar is far better then them.

I like Romains track guides, they are often more unedited and has mistakes. It tells us a lot more about the most difficult places and what exactly the difficulty is.

Romain Thanks for signing my Aryton Senna painting at Laguna Seca after the Race! Was so awesome to see you at my Home Grand Prix and for you to have that EPIC DRIVE and Get a Podium made it that much more Special!!!! BRILLIANT DRIVE WITH GREAT OVERTAKES!! HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR AT LAGUNA AGAIN!!

Romain you are a stud! Some of those moves Sunday had me clenching my cheeks.

Romain, can I just say that it has been a real privilege watching you this season, and that so many of us are so happy to know that you will be in IndyCar for a long time to come. You’re our phoenix, our firebird. Give ‘em hell in the race tomorrow.

Driven this in the Forza games, has some very tricky turns and hairpin corners. Still love it though! Can’t wait for the Indycar race there.

Gotten into Indycar in large part thanks to you, planning on making it to Road America or Gateway next season!

Loved your Laguna race! Hope you have a good race at the Beach and get the rookie of the year. 😃

Would love to see Long Beach as a night race.

@kylegoodman5196

2 жыл бұрын

I would love to see that too but Long Beach is the wrong track for it. IndyCar would have to run the race at 10:00PM ET for the broadcast to work. And Long Beach probably wouldn't allow it due to the noise or the lighting required to safely run the course at night. St. Pete or Toronto would honestly be better choices because they could be run at more sane hours and probably could handle the lights and noise better.

Awesome Also the halo looks better here than in F1 I know there’s a halo behind the windscreen

@squidcaps4308

In simracing the halo should be partly transparent. We have two eyes but the image we see is in 2D screen. Drivers look past it in real life, but we have to look directly at it.

Its crazy how an ex F1 driver, at a mid level team, can switch series boost viewers and fans. Great job Romain. I really do hope you get a drivers championship. Gene must be saying shit...I should have started an indy team and built it around Grosjean.

Good luck. Hope you get on pole for this race. Finish strong sir. Be fast.

great drive👍

You make it look so effortless. Good luck for the real thing

Thank you and best of luck!!!

Im going give you a huge cheer at the track Romain! Cant wait to see you perform (: GOOD LUCK

A star is born!

Romain what a fantastic season. You will win next year. I can't wait.

hey Romain, great race last week! I'm coming to see you in Toronto next year

I just moved out of LA and I’m bummed I won’t be able to see this race! I’ve been cheering you on since 2016 and it would’ve been awesome to see you race.

was a pleasure to meet you yesterday, thanks for signing my ticket :))))

One of the most fun things I have been doing this Indycar season is driving the tracks (if they exist) in iRacing the week or weeks before the event. I am not good enough yet to make a clean lap around in the IR18 on most courses. I have been running the USF-2000 car, the MX-5 (ND), and the Formula Vee. Best wishes this week Romain, I'll have to watch the race on a recording as I am racing/stewarding Sunday myself.

Cool drive, it would be awesome if you talked about how this Indycar street track compare to the F1 tracks you have race on like Baku, Singapore or Monaco? Its been great to see your driving in Indy car this year!

King of the beach. Rollin on dubs.

You’re the man bro

Good luck for Rookie of the Year battle. 20 points is quite far to catch but still possible to catch. Enjoy your final race of the season ✌️

Those walls come up quickly. Good luck!

Long Beach is one of my favorite tracks to drive on in Forza 7, hope you do well Romain....like at Laguna Seca.

CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY AS GROSJEAN IN THE INDY CAR GAME !!! HOPE WE GET AN IMSA GAME TOO

See you tomorrow at long Beach!!!! Good luck man!!

Romain grosjean : talks during the video Also grosjean: have to go fast

Romain, I really enjoy watching you race and am glad you've come over to the other side of the pond. A few questions if you have the time... What sim wheel and pedals do you use? Have you tried rFactor2? Are these consumer grade sims of any real value to you? Does your team have a pro grade sim that you use? If you haven't tried VR then you should. Pimax 8kx with it's wide FOV (150ish degrees) makes it ideal for sim racing.

Good luck today Romain!

Will you do track guides for the other Indycar tracks?

You should do all of the indycar tracks. It would help me a ton!

felicitation pour Laguna Seca Romain !! Dommage que tes videos ne soient qu en anglais et qu il n y est pas les sous titre en francais !!

This looks awesome! I need to know since you're almost done with your first season, what is your favorite track?

Nice

Des murs , des bosses , des vibreurs , des concurrents acharnés qui connaissent mieux le circuit que vous , pas de grosses lignes droites . Je comprend que vous soyez extrêmement concentré pour la dernière ligne droite de la saison . Bonne chance ! 😁 Je n'ai que cela a dire 💪✊

Nice. At the fountain, it's left right left. Why do you not cut more in the right hand corner? It looks as if you're having a slow exit out of that section because you drive around the right hand corner too much. I'm sure there is a reason. What is it? Is the curb so high it unsettle the car? Am I seeing the line wrong? Does it not hurt to drive towards the barrier (with the NTT ad) in the last left because there is not more acceleration possible and you want to keep the minimum speed up? I am really curious. Thank you!

@danielhenderson8316

2 жыл бұрын

The curbs at the fountain on the real track is similar to the shot at 0:17 in this vid. If you jump the curb too much you’ll get underbody damage, be out of position for the next left, and worst above all, getting a fine from the city of Long Beach for damaging the garden. Nobody wants that fine.

The win is coming

I’m Curious since you’ve driven with both the Halo and the windscreen which you prefer.

Hey Romain, do you will going to COTA next weekend to meet your compatriot, Fabio Quartararo?

I would think the halo support should be more translucent, since with binocular vision you around it a little more.

How does the new tire model for indycar on iracing compare to the real thing??

Big Romain

Romain I wish to see you back in f1

Go Romain!

Does the Iracing Simulation helps for preparing the real Race?

How do pwople drive with FOV that looks like they're staring down a telescopic lens? It just looks like tunnel vision.

Romain,there is a posibility that u can back to race? sorry bad english

So how many tries did it take to get a lap where you didnt crash? Genuinely curious.

Don’t put it in the wall this weekend Romain, would love to see you pull off ROY

Care to share your iracing setup? :-)
