So I have been having a bunch of problems with my computer and editing software but after 400hrs of editing (started in October) the video is finally done. There were a total of 8 cameras, 4TB of footage, and for whatever reason my supercomputer kept crashing. I am happy to say this one is done and now onto the DIY!!!!

At a guess, the lightweight Miata believed they could outbreak the BMW and get onto the inside line, forcing you to the outside. Having said that, from the rear footage it looks as though the BMW had already started turning meaning the Miata had to leave space rather than crossing your racing line.

This is the best racing series I've ever seen. +10 points for the Bart Simpson penalty and the general "don't suck."

Advices for the pit stops: The driver that is going to step in should be already prepared before the car even enters the pit lane. As for the fuel, try fitting a transparent fuel tank with a bigger refill hole and use more powerful pumps. Every 3 hours check the brakes, especially the pads, brake fluid check is also advised. During repairs (like the throttle thing) check tire's pressure and adjust it. Advices in general: Try to not rev the car at its maximum, keep it 2k rpm lower than red line. Do some lift and coast to preserve fuel and in medium - high speed corners try to stay lower on rmps to use less fuel as possible

Agree - the MX5 (sorry, Brit here 😁) was in the wrong, you had the corner by a mile. Ultimately, though, just a racing accident. I do feel it was deeply unfair that you had to take a "4 wheels off the track + collision" penalty for something that a) wasn't your fault, and b) the driver at the time was doing the sensible thing & checking the car was still driveable before returning to the track. IMHO Lemons should look at a rule change there.

@@theelectricmonk3909 Yeah that penalty isn’t deserved in my opinion. For something that’s not your fault and for ensuring the safety of yourself and the fellow drivers I think the 10-20 second time loss from going off track is more than sufficient. Rules are rules though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ondrejnejeschleba6278

i am not sure by that - i understand both. The BMW lifted way too early with having a car this close behind them. I know it's an endurance race, but still, you've got to expect that if you lift off that early in a corner with someone not that far back, they might send it. But yeah, the miata was a lot slower anyway and they would probably get passed on the first opportunity, so it was very unnecessary by them.

@Chrisfix I am a local driving instructor for people trying to learn proper racing etiquette, racing line, and car control. You guys did well, and the red Miata incident was due to that car braking too late and missing the racing line. He went inside and had about 5 mph too much speed. Once he missed the braking point he couldn't do anything about it. The car couldn't hold that inside line with the available grip, so as soon as he hit the rumble strip it unloaded that side of the suspension slightly. That put to much stress on the outer front tire and he understeered into you guys.

If you would like to change for a better oil for the engine, go with LIQUI MOLY. There’s a specific one that is gray and has like specific inhibitors in them that not only will it very well coat the cylinder walls, it’ll help with preventing unnecessary wear from rod bearings as well. A buddy of mine ran the same oil in his E36 M3 when he was running laps at the fairgrounds that day and when he did a full tune up on it, along with changing a few gaskets here and there including the valve cover gasket, the inside of the motor was bright silver.

It was the Miatas fault.. in the racing world, when" being over taking " (you), the car in front holds their racing line. It's the job of the passer (Matia) to drive a different race line around you. It looked like he hit his brakes too late. Probably hoped to dive past you before you turned in for the curve, BUT he was unsuccessful. Excellent video, by the way. I run Amsoil signature series in my race cars, with a Wix XP OR K&N oil filter. I know that BMW uses a cartridge, so your filter options are limited. I would go with Wix or Mann

Well done Chris and team! Those lessons learnt from last year have clearly made an impact. Great driving by all of you guys and awesome teamwork too! Only just came across your channel but love what i've seen so far. This is what racing should be! Can't wait to see more, well worth a sub 👊

i really love how he lets his friends drive and have fun too instead of just standing around, this is what racing is really about.

Thank you for including subtitles. It means a lot to those of us who don't have the greatest hearing. Great video as always.

Love the content bro - really high quality yet down to earth

That is beautiful story of that Lemon's BMW. I almost drop a tear many times in this video but the most beautiful view where when BMW were driving on the trailer with own strength. The Engine looks very healthy! Wow. And runs amazing. I can't wait for next year race!

The comeback is always greater than the setback. I’m happy that your team was able to complete the race. After last year’s fiasco, it’s a relief to see everybody having a good time. Keep it up 🙏🏾💪🏾

Just wanted to say ty for all ur content bc it really helps people learn how to work on their cars!!

Good job everyone!! much improved from last year!!👍👍 Love the video!!

And we can all appreciate how Chris was able to maintain is anonymity while registered with the Witness Protection Program throughout the entirety of the video! Great job masked man!

Track Addict has a feature where you can set pit speeds, and it will flash/yell at you when you are exceeding it - a good reminder for when you pit while being too excited :) Awesome video, awesome time, thanks for posting! Oh, regarding the rear contact with the red Miata, IMO, it was his fault, not your guys. It's always the responsibility of the overtaking car to ensure a safe and clean pass. Your guy did that in the straight, just before corner entry, with a good gap. The Miata essentially tried to late-brake you guys, but you were already cutting in toward the apex. Typically, if the other car was alongside your guy BEFORE the corner entry, then you would have had to give him the inside or else make contact. He tried to get alongside you by late-braking too close to comer entry IMO. At that point, he was attempting a pass, and failed to ensure it happened safely and cleanly. He either went in a little too hot, wasn't paying attention, or was pissed at getting passed.

Thanks! We couldnt get the app to work. We tried it for my first time out but for some reason it was not getting the gps signal.

Such a great gesture of humanity, he waited for the other driver's Thumbs before getting back in track, after an accident which seemed like miata driver's mistake!

Garrett is a good dude! That is why I am friends with him!

Miata either braked late or tried to lunge in for the pass on turn entry, with a car so close behind you, there is something known as the vortex of danger/death. essentially, taking the normal racing line, you appear to be leaving a space to the driver behind, it's tempting to fill the gap and attempt the overtake, but it rarely works. if you have a car that is close enough to rear end you entering the turn, you should take the defensive line (inside line) entering.

Never thought I would be grinning ear to ear for this race and being ecstatic for you all! Congrats!

I've literally been waiting for this ALL YEAR! Every since you blew up the engine last year I wanted you guys to do well so bad, and you did! Good job guys!

me too i was sad to hear abt it since it isnt an often thing for Chris to be racing but when i saw the video about them preping the car for the race i got so exited

Ah something I noticed chris I am no expert but at 12:52 i noticed too much body roll ride height needs to be reduced somehow i think maybe also adjust rear tires camber for better stability around corners

Cool race 🙂 Enjoyed watching the whole video

This might just be my favorite video you’ve made. So cool to see the team’s hard work and ultimate success. Kudos to everybody ❤

Yeah, I enjoyed the tech minutia, down to the minutes of lap time, fix-in-the-pit time and details, etc.

This was beautiful to watch! Great race, guys!

i really enjoyed this video. my bmw was stolen and i miss it so it was good to see you and your team enjoy that one to the max.

Hey ChrisFix, I want to tell you that it really shows how much work and passion goes into all you do. Thanks for teaching us and entertaining us so much!

Hey man, for me it was more of an opportunistic move from the miata but its a really easy mistake to make. Almost everyone does it once in their life. Congratulations for the race great job from all of you

Looked to me like they just missed the braking point. If it was intentional then it was a massive lunge from way too far back. Not cool in any race, especially not an amateur one.

Great in depth video of a race, it seriously felt like I was in your team witnessing everything with my own eyes 😂. Congratulations to the team 🎉🎉

I have been watching your videos for years i am truly happy for what you accomplished so far chris and Wishing you all the best along each step of your journey. Go after your dreams

Can’t believe he has made it so far to doing simple fixes to drifting to how to redo your drive way and to lemons such a great guy named chris

Valvoline VR-1 is very popular in the rotary racing world. It holds up well to high rpm.

This was a joy to watch. Hope you and the team get those racing lessons you talked about

3:05 -- They broke the rules for Chris. *Rule 4.7 -- Scavenger Sales: "the sale of exempt items-like wheels, glass, interior trim, etc.- can NOT be used to offset the initial purchase price."* Chris exactly cited the sale of trim and wheels to offset the $1,100 purchase price. They broke their own rules for Chris.

Can you link to where I said we sold the wheels? And the "interior trim" part of that rule must be new since that didn't exist when we started racing so we've probably been grandfathered in now. We've raced this car 3 times so if anything the value of this car keeps dropping and they know what were bringing each time. And at the end of the day if you don't believe any of that, all the non safety rules are up to interpretation and judging, if they judge things a certain way then that's how it is even if it's against the rules ;)

I wasn't even directing my criticism towards you, so maybe chill. And let's be real, they make exceptions for you because of the publicity you bring them. Again, not that it matters in a "race" that's "just for fun." So chill. ;)

Oh man, that looked like so much fun! I was meant to race with a team several years back, but couldn't swing it financially at the time. I really wish I could've now. Congrats to the Chris fix, b is for build, and rich rebuild teams!

I Was WAITING for THIS video for a long time! I watched All ur videos about endurance races. Keep up the good work and congratulations

Hey Chris. Great storytelling! I guess you could also include more highlights & struggles from the other teams for next year's race, and I would still be hooked watching!!

25:40 that was an awesome save, you're getting really good at racing man.
