It's Cam, who tapped you. You popped up in my feed for another video and I thought your name looked familiar. Sorry for the bump after your slowdown! I wasn't expecting you to brake early, but I should've been a little more cautious with you coming out of a slowdown. I'm surprised it even called a slowdown on you there; that's just crappy luck with that wreck. Better than a totalled car not avoiding him I guess. GR though, you kept good pressure I had to account for while staying on the tail of P3. You mentioned how you could force a pass but didn't trust yourself; I laughed because I was in the same boat. Lawrence was fast the latter half of the track, but I had maybe .3 on him in the first corner but he held really good defense. I'm trying to get back up to A license and 3k so I didn't want to force anything and lock up to give you that free position. 😆 I also resigned to staying right on his tail and waiting for him to mess up. Dude is an ice man though. No mistakes to capitalize on even with me filling his mirror. Thanks for the respectful racing! You just earned a sub. 👍🏻 I'll see you out there next time!

Did they get rid of time attack? Thanks in advance

I think this might be because of the season switchover which may have been going on when you were trying. After applying all the updates I can click the time attack, then the street stocks at Oswego and they show up, you do have to select which car you want to use. I hope that helps. My UI looks different probably because I made the video several seasons ago and I do have my UI in dark mode. The time attack button has moved to be it's own button but it appears you have figured that part out.

The hairpin following that section is also probably my weakest part of the track I'm very slow through that corner. Not a very strong track for me, I'm going to blame N24 for not having as much practice time before hand and making me tired. It may or not be true but that's what I'm running with :).

Hello Josh, I've been watching your videos and they are incredibly helpful - truly great tutorials. I do have one small suggestion based on this video and a few previous ones. I've noticed that in some corners (like turn 1 in Spa), you start to release the brake pedal before turning your wheel. This might potentially lower your braking efficiency. Regardless, I appreciate your videos immensely and absolutely love them!

Good job. What spotter pack do you use?
Thanks, I use Crew Chief.
It's Cam, who tapped you. You popped up in my feed for another video and I thought your name looked familiar. Sorry for the bump after your slowdown! I wasn't expecting you to brake early, but I should've been a little more cautious with you coming out of a slowdown. I'm surprised it even called a slowdown on you there; that's just crappy luck with that wreck. Better than a totalled car not avoiding him I guess. GR though, you kept good pressure I had to account for while staying on the tail of P3. You mentioned how you could force a pass but didn't trust yourself; I laughed because I was in the same boat. Lawrence was fast the latter half of the track, but I had maybe .3 on him in the first corner but he held really good defense. I'm trying to get back up to A license and 3k so I didn't want to force anything and lock up to give you that free position. 😆 I also resigned to staying right on his tail and waiting for him to mess up. Dude is an ice man though. No mistakes to capitalize on even with me filling his mirror. Thanks for the respectful racing! You just earned a sub. 👍🏻 I'll see you out there next time!
No worries it was a funky situation. Good racing you, and looking forward to seeing you on the track again.
Hi, very nice line there. May I know your best time here? I got 2.19,5 few months ago. I started try GT3 Cup in Spa couple days ago. I can not use my old settup, and it seems now the car slower. Do you have same experience?
My best is a 2:20.521, but that was in a race so I probably had draft during some points. This season saw a big update to the car, there is a forum post going over some of the details here: forums.iracing.com/discussion/62977/tires-rework-new-specs#latest
@@piltdownfilms yes I can feel car is different now, there are some improvement like tyres, but also feel slower in lap time. My best time now 2.21,4. Could get better but I dont think I can get sub 2.20 like before. Did you drive 992 cup car last year?
I liked the video, lol. You were faster than I was.
You finished ahead, that’s the big point.
Wow, 63 laps. That dedication
Don't look at the other sessions I did :)
Nice im only 30 seconds off 😂😂
Thanks Josh! These videos help a ton and I know they are a ton of work
Glad they help, thanks for watching!
hi, possible put rpy file in discord? thx!
It's bigger than the file limit size for Discord, I do have the olap, blap, and garage61 telemetry linked in the description already. I also don't really want to set the precedent for having to upload more stuff and links, sorry.
@@piltdownfilms thx
Man thanks for the videos! Look forward to them each week!
Thanks for watching them, I appreciate it!
Im a new driver following the checklist. I finished some sessions test driving and now im trying time attack. My UI is white it doesnt look like yours. When i click time attack it shows the cars listed. Example im trying street stock on a oval track. They all say ended with results. I dont see anywhere to click drive now. Did they get rid of time attack? Thanks in advance
I think this might be because of the season switchover which may have been going on when you were trying. After applying all the updates I can click the time attack, then the street stocks at Oswego and they show up, you do have to select which car you want to use. I hope that helps. My UI looks different probably because I made the video several seasons ago and I do have my UI in dark mode. The time attack button has moved to be it's own button but it appears you have figured that part out.
Hey, you didn't wave when you went by?! Seriously, nice and smooth. And geeze, your g-ma talks racing? She's the boss!
I didn't want to call attention... You were getting some killer lap times in both races though. It's my aunt I was talking about, there are a few family members that I can talk racing with. My aunt has been into racing, my cousin and her husband got into F1 during the pandemic via the Netflix show but have kind of fallen off recently. My dad got us Indy tickets in 2000. So there are folks in the family I can talk about racing without boring them to tears :)
Ah, your aunt. Sorry. Still, awesome to have other family members that are into same things. It makes get togethers more interesting! Yeah, I qualified really well but had some bobbles on cold tires putting me into the clutches of Anderson, who was breathing down my neck. He slid into me at T1 while passing. I gave him room, but he still, spun me around. I know it wasn't on purpose, he's just super aggressive. I can't believe it's week 12!
@@MarlonFamiltonPretty lucky that my family gets along and it's easy to talk to all of them. Talking to other people I know this isn't always the case and I know I'm fortunate in this regard. This is one of those tracks that has the weight of the car shifting in opposite directions so quickly, it's really easy to get off balance and the hot track temps don't help. If I remember correctly it was a lot cooler last time the series went here. I'm pretty interested in rain coming to the series next season. The new seasons usually get me pretty revitalized.
@@piltdownfilms Rain. Ugh. My iRacing career is doomed. Hey, are your radar/proximity bars from Racelabs or is that something else?
@@MarlonFamilton They're from Kapps along with the twitch chat. I just like the way that it handles those things better.
Strange watching this. You seem smoother, more consistent, hitting your marks... yet, I somehow managed 0.3 sec a lap on you in this race. I'd love to compare telemetry. Kind of a journey for you too.. 5th, 6th, 7th, 6th, 5th.
I do have Garage61 running when I drive. This is the telemetry for that race, if you have it too I think you can directly compare the telemetry. garage61.net/app/event/01HYFDCH10FJZ4BGFED7SF8GQX I know my rhythm for the downhill section through the double right hander got off pretty badly after the first few laps. The hairpin following that section is also probably my weakest part of the track I'm very slow through that corner. Not a very strong track for me, I'm going to blame N24 for not having as much practice time before hand and making me tired. It may or not be true but that's what I'm running with :). Also very true with the journey. I was pretty much resigned to get 7th or 8th, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. :)
@@piltdownfilms Looks like you're grabbing 1st through the hairpin? At least I think I saw that. 2nd works. The track is a little like Fuji... wait.. wait.. wait.. gas! I use VRS... And yeah, you get to be tired!
Well I(Ali) suck, haha. Love the track though. Good race(not for me obvs!)
It's a tough track, that corner has weird banking. It's pretty easy to spin there.
@@piltdownfilms Track is slippery - cold tires.. my first couple laps keep looking like I'm drunk and fighting with my wife in the car. Missed having the chance to see if I could put some pressure on you. Next time!
Probably a mixture of things, the track, cold tyres, I also nearly outbraked myself which means the car was probably rotating slightly(which I have trouble picking up at times), add the eagerness to get on the throttle, and round it went. I generally dont get to full throttle quickly enough with this car.
Another great guide. I seem to remember the track from another sim, not sure which. But very different in the p cup. Fun track though. We will see how it races
Thanks. I Love porsche.
Congrats on the nords 24. The drivers in the pcups are the real stars, keeping that car on the track is no small feat
Thank you, the team didn't want to do Pcup we ended up driving the Merc GT3 in an all GT3 split, ended up 25/50. I'm not going to say how many cars were still running at the end :) We did do Pcup last year.
Refreshing to see real life content, not just the warm fuzzy winning. This is how it goes sometimes. We just try to get past it and try to enjoy the competition. Well done
At least this way I get something out of it :)
Ouch!
Doh!
Stuff happens... You're kind. That guy was having an awful race. While you were minding your own business, somehow you got sucked into his bad day!
Yea. But I try my best to get back on the horse and go for the next one. In this case it worked out and the next one went really well. Sometimes I'm more successful at the whole brushing off the mistakes or bad luck than others.
This beats the other night when you were taken out on the Kemmel straight by that guy spinning and collecting you. Nice job mining some points!
Thank you! Yea, this was the race immediately after the one you’re talking about. Overall Spa has not been kind to me this season.
@@piltdownfilms No for some reason Spa is always painful. One, because it is a temptress, inviting just a little more speed and then slapping you with an off track. Two, because of the carnage. I can't seem to get less than 8x by the end of lap two. I'm sure that felt good to get a solid result in the books and move in. Though, I'm not sure next week and the Nord is going to be much different.
Well done. Nice and consistent
Thank you!
Hello Josh, I've been watching your videos and they are incredibly helpful - truly great tutorials. I do have one small suggestion based on this video and a few previous ones. I've noticed that in some corners (like turn 1 in Spa), you start to release the brake pedal before turning your wheel. This might potentially lower your braking efficiency. Regardless, I appreciate your videos immensely and absolutely love them!
