I think your points on incident 2 and 3 are so important for people to understand. Too many people focus on who’s at fault without considering what they could’ve done better. A good example is all the posts of people getting wrecked, but then not holding their brakes afterwards causing more collisions. If you’re looking to improve, you HAVE to think about what you could’ve done better, even in cases where you’re 100% not at fault. Great video, would love to see more as there’s not a lot of these types of videos for ovals.

In oval racing it is so rarely 1 person doing everything wrong. There is almost always something I could have done better looking at every incident. People forget how many variables go into racing and just want the easy “blame other driver”

I not only want more of these I DEMAND more of these! 😂

Hey thanks. This sort of stuff is really helpful for non-US drivers trying to understand oval racing. There are so many unwritten subtleties to learn. And it's nice not to have to learn 'em all the hard way.

There are definitely some etiquette things that people who do not follow oval racing seem to consistently get messed up on. I get it and let it go, but a lot of peeps will lose their absolute crap at a foreign accent who makes a mistake instead of using it as a teaching moment.

@@DJYeeJay It can happen, but is far more obvious than that, as it is usually a continuation of the exit and you can see them wiggling and trying to regain control of the rear. That is not what this looks like, but with only one angle is hard to say for certain. Mostly because chopping down like that on purpose has no benefit vs holding the line and trying the outside momentum in 3/4.

I learned a ton about how to race others and what I could have done different when I was recording videos for my old KZread channel and having to watch footage over and over again from multiple angles. I highly recommend after a race to go back and watch every incident from multiple perspectives. It will make you a better driver

I think if you squeeze a car to the inside, expecting him to maintain his/her line perfectly, then any crash is your own fault because you didn't give enough room. This is especially true in sim racing where most people only *think* they have skill.

I agree in general but different tracks should bring different expectations

Had a truck race earlier today at Canadian Tire (I think) and I know I am comedic levels of slow on road courses (brain damage thing, I can train on an oval to figure out good laps, but there is too much to remember of an RC and every lap is like a brand new track). So as it shows me the blue flag, I hold the outside and check up so the passing cars can hit the apex and get a clear drive off. I also will cruise down pit road to let a pack pass, if applicable. Half way through the race the I was getting lapped and had moved over to let the trucks that were laps up on me go through. The leader, with his apparently Coke Series ego, decided he could not wait for the corner to pass us and tried to split the middle. He ended up driving right into the side of me and went off that it was all my fault. I do not think that was my fault. I am not driving off into the grass (on purpose) because someone 'might' try a stupid move. The guy passing me also could have stayed in line and let the leader go, then passed me after that. But watching the replay from the leaders view, he could clearly see the guy going to my inside and still tried to blast through the middle. I guess I could just not race, which is my typical move for road weeks. I run one for the participation credits, then focus on something I have potential to run well (or at least not be clown shoes slow because of disability with short term memory).

When I’m a leader sometimes I get distracted when a lap car does something unpredictable and I get kinda mad in the moment but at the end of the day they’re usually just trying to help

@@DJYeeJay I get that, it has happened to me too, but that is not the case here. I had already let him go twice. He had a several seconds lead on 2nd. And from his cockpit view, he could clearly see the other guy going to my inside with enough time to react and enough gap that it would not affect his race. He may have been distracted by something, but it was not me being unpredictable. Apparently this guy also just qualified for the Coke Series and his only advice is that I uninstall if I am not up to speed...... So I highly doubt he was trying to help. He ranted about how bad I am (for giving faster cars a clear lane and not trying to fight them, I guess) until he left. Since I was only there for the participation credits, I planned to pull off once I passed half way. But after that display of toxic arrogance, I ran it out and finished ahead of him.

Commenting for algorithm but also, these are the exact videos I’ve been wanting to do, it feels like there aren’t any Oval guys doing Oval clips, and European guys are very much knowledgeable about courtesy in road races, they don’t understand the subtle details in how oval racing is treated in the officiating eye. Your points were concise, and accurate. Always Leave-ah da space!

There are a few tracks where the car does wiggle a bit down the back straight that said dude turned left.

I learned a lot. Thank you!

Today, I did the exact thing in SK modified, what you have suggested in the snowball race. I was 1st until the last lap, but the second car was nearly hitting me from the back during the previous 3 lap. I couldn't take the risk, I let him go. Took the wide line , cut back and get second, instead of being dead last. Also usuallt 3-4k iRated guyz dont race cleanly with 1.6k people. I learned that lesson in streetstock rookie back then.

From a youtuber perspective, entertainment and video pacing is key. Something I’m trying to practice! And jimmer does it very well

I am new to Iracing and in the street stock, 2008 truck and old INDY car I feel like the wheel has some play on the middle. Like I have to start to turn the wheel to reach a solid tight controlled feeling. Why is there wobble in the wheel before turn in.

I got an A Class (Open Setup) incident from last night, lap 69/70, turn 3 at Talladega that I’d like your feedback on. Do you have a way to submit content for your review? Great stuff as always my man!

If you are the middle vehicle three wide it's your responsibility to make the room. If crowding is needed middle has to lift

You plan on doing another one of these? Lol I got one for you

Didnt the second car also force the 3 wide by closing the gap at the latest second possible?

With the last crash. I get what your say with the track, track surface, cars etc. it I think if your putting your car into that situation, the ownership is on you - whether your top, mid, bottom. Personally, I’m a more conservative driver - if I was the bottom car, I’d back out of the move, let the two go because it looks like they are super aggressive and he has the pace to get by them in one or two turns time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So on the first one, he has a graphic at the bottom middle that shows him where the cars are. Is that something I can get on my iRacing? It would be tremendously helpful
