"ah look, ruining it for everybody, you absolute pillock". I'd cut in front of a Brit just to hear the insults lol. Great race. Love the mix of your video box, audio levels (we can hear the car, track and Jim) and your commentary. Not nonstop talking, but a comment when one is needed. Very good.

Your content is only seconded by your opening clips, which are god tier!

Looked a lot of fun that Dave, great drive that, a very difficult mix indeed, I'm really loving Rfactor2 again, I love the historic element to it more than anything though, another highly underrated sim this like RBR... can't beat a bit of touring car though hehe...

That´s the charm of a very wet track, suffering with joy. Extremely clean race for such bad weather, great job all.

Great race Dave! the immersion is fantastic what a race!!! i think in the rain front wheel drive is easier to keep on the road the problem is that the wheels spin up to 3rd gear and that makes you lose a lot of time not easy!

I'm by no means a setup expert, but for wet setups I pull the brake bias as far towards the back as I can before the car is too unstable (this part is really crucial in FWD cars), reduce the camber, flatten the rake and soften the anti-roll bars. If those tweaks don't quite cut it, I soften the springs and add more downforce. In this particular race, I think some diff tweaks were needed, too. I don't have this particular DLC (here's to hoping it will be on sale on Black Friday) so I don't know what exact adjustments are available, but it sounds like you need less lock on coast to reduce off-throttle understeer. Diff power seemed fine, 'cause I generally would never use 1st gear in the rain in a touring car and taking the last corner in 2nd gear gave you OK traction on exit.

Yes Mister Cameron, a Front driven Car with a good diff likes a little bit of throttle in the corner. Also in iRacing.

Three things I hate in cars: drum brakes, automatic transmissions and front wheel drive. I believe the theory for wet racing setups is to back off the anti-roll bars a ways and bring the spring rates down some, too, in order to avoid "chatter." You won't have as much grip, so high stiffness and ultimate weight transfer become liabilities, not assets. Some fooling with tire pressures might give good results, as well. The water on the track will tend to keep the tires from retaining a lot of heat, so slightly higher pressures should help the tires to maintain equal contact across the contact patch. And if you've got aero, max it the hell out, especially on a twisty track without long straights. But you probably already knew all that.

Managed to pull off a last-to-first at wet Knockhill in the Corolla earlier this week. Did a few dry races as well, great mod, up to S397 standards really, which says a lot considering how brilliant S397 tracks are.

@@Simlife101 if you mean like on ACC to get a license, you don't have to. As soon as you sign up, you're a rookie and you can start racing in any session that allows rookies. You do 10 races, gain enough SR and ELO and you're out of rookie.

Looked like torture, but this video has just convinced me to pick up rFactor 2. AND they're putting in Croft Circuit which is my local and I would imagine your local track. I'm really excited to drive croft. I need to get triple screens on my rig!

Hi Dave! Do you mind sharing your ffb settings for rf2?

tough but fun. Thanks!

Hi Dave, notice your pit window going a bit crazy at the start of the race. I had this issue also and it’s due to crew chief, it has a setting that auto resets your pit request to all off I believe so you can set it during the race. I found it very distracting it flickering away at the race start but even worse is when you pit thinking it’s set and all they do is add fuel!

I was thinking "don't think I've ever driven around Knockhill" but then I recognised the chicane. Yeah, I did, on AC ages ago. I know of only one circuit that has a more awkward chicane than that, the completely blind chicane at Anglesey Circuit.

Oh Dave I can imagine all the carnage that is going to take place when/if rain ever comes to iRacing! All through that race I was thinking you should probably been a little more careful on the throttle and doing a lot more short shifting to higher gears on corner exit to try to keep the traction. You lose traction on FWD as the weight goes to the rear away from the drive wheels. It was enjoyable to watch nonetheless so well done on the P5 finish. 👍

It’s a real challenge to keep the rears up to temp and overdriving the fronts. You were gaining on 1-3 until the tyres started falling away. Dang enjoy the channel 🤙

Actually there is no need to keep rears up to temp, they do pretty much nothing. Focus on the fronts.

@@rakoczyn Really easy to overheat fronts IRL. Hard to tell in sim. I’ll agree it’s more important to keep fronts in an optimal temp though as they do all the braking turning and accelerating

I was laughing so much. Thx Dave. I was defo on WETS and just drove the dry set up I use and the dry line. Nothing special. Tbh I would have been worse than you in a FWD car though. RWD in the wet is so much more natural

@davecamm

Hahaha, thank god for that 😂

There were no pedal input indicators, so it was difficult to see if you tried this, Dave: how about trying to gently slide the car into corners? I'm not simracing, so I haven't been testing it myself, and I'm not quite sure if this is something that works in race cars, but in FWD rally cars the drivers would normally persuade cars into corners on slippery surfaces by turning the wheel and then pressing the brake while holding the throttle. This works basically like a very gentle handbrake-turn effect: the car should start rotating quite easily. You adjust the angle of the rotation by the right balaning act on the pedals. There's no real threat of spinning, because whenever you feel the car is overrotating, you just step of the brake and quickly add plenty of throttle -- this should straighten the car up immediately. Again, just an idea to test.

So this is what the UK looks like. It's even more rain than they said lol

I love the entrance haha

No way Webb was on mediums, anything more wet than damp and you're loosing time on slicks. Tips in driving in the rain in RF2: Max wing, you want those tires being pushed down in to the road as hard as possible. Also, as you can't push the front wheels in to the tarmac as hard under braking, you want to set your brake bias back quite bit.

So how does this looks like with RF2, if I get it, are there enough online races going on I can join? I’m Raceroom currently but the numbers just keep droping, its depressing.

Use p2p on the straights or uphills after you got traction.

In America being a "pole sitter" is literally the last position

PCing down 😂

While racing in the wet, take the outside line, it might seem less fast but it is actually faster because you have most grip there if you are not on wet tires. When I race in the wet I up the traction control by a bunch and really make use of trailbraking. I go slower in the beginning because i'm more cautious and finding the limits of track and car without spinning the wheels on every corner, in the end you'll really get a move on
