Irish Legends 2016 - R4 | Race 3 - LIVE TV
After some terrible misfortune on Friday, Saturday and earlier in the day on Sunday, I was hoping to make a mends and finish on a high. I managed to have quite an exciting race until the last lap where I had a coming together with another car at about 100mph and ended up sideways in the air. Very lucky the crash wasn't much bigger.
As for my thoughts on the incident: I believe if two people come together on a track like this it has to be considered a racing incident, as neither of us wanted contact or did it deliberately. The other driver felt I was completely in the wrong - I was happy to say it was 50/50 and most people I've shown the incident to say he is in the wrong as I was alongside...

Starting from 6th, I get forced wide at turn 1 and then collected by a car from behind a few moments later. This dropped me down to 10th. It was a very frustrating incident, but I fought back and made an overtake each lap until I got into a battle for 6th. The car in front was doing some great defensive driving and I was unable to get by - then on the last lap I was given a small tap from behin...

Our morning practice session was covered by Mondello TV - unfortunately I forgot to press record on my GoPro so there's no onboard footage to mix with this. From the moment I left the pitlane I had a gearbox issue and could not use 2nd gear. Because of this I found it very difficult to slow the car into some corners and lost a lot of time. I feel I could have been the fastest car on track in th...

Two separate incidents happened side by side into turn one. For mine, I just couldn't get the car slowed down enough and I rear ended the car in front. He had already locked up and was touching the car in the lead, so the impact drove him over the other car and into the air. Luckily no one was hurt in the incident but a terrible start to the afternoon. WATCH THE RACE IN FULL HERE: livestream.co...

There's not much you can do in moments like this. Very unlucky and had nowhere to go. Other car got away pretty much unscathed. Big thanks to the team who did an amazing job to get the car fixed seconds before the final race. I forgot to hit record so unfortunately no footage.

A slightly bigger grid this weekend with the inclusion of some cars from the Scottish Championship. Made a few mistakes and struggled with the tires halfway through this race. Lost the leading pack and settled for 5th overall and 4th in the Irish series.

First podium of the year and some great close racing. I was unable to start Race 2 due to a mechanical issue which was very disappointing, however the team did an amazing job to get me out for the final race and I was able to repay them with a great result. Again there are places I could have been more aggressive but I'm taking it easy until I find my feet. Getting these things slowed down with...

0.491 split the top 4 cars as we crossed the line at the finish. A very exciting race! My second race weekend in a Legend got off to a very positive start with lots of close racing at the front of the field. The team found and fixed a few issues with the car since Mondello, and from the word go it was nicer to drive. I'm still not as good as I need to be on the brakes with these cars, and I'm n...

The 3rd and final race of the day was a complete disaster for me, but I still finished the race, picked up some points and ended the day 4th overall in standings. The team had made some adjustments to my brakes before the final, but something felt different compared to the last race and at turn 1 I was struggling to get the car slowed down. The following lap I was in the gravel. Luckily there w...

This was probably my strongest drive of the weekend, but unfortunately I spent most of the race on my own after I misinterpreted a gearbox issue on lap 1 that turned out to be nothing. I let the whole field by and lost over 10 seconds before putting the foot down again. Of course this is clubman racing and the priority is always to mind the machinery, but there really was no need for me to slow...

Time code of key moments listed below. My first race of the 2016 got off to a promising start, but at the end of Lap 2 I was tapped from behind and spun, dropping me down the order to 8th. I spent the rest of the race trying to battle my way back but after a few laps got into a battle for 6th and started to over drive, eventually finishing in 7th. Not the result I was hoping for after being abl...

    Great video! Have been thinking of doing a similar series here in the U.S. about the Summer Shootout. Also, try a bigger steering wheel! It can really help on corner entry, and oversteer correction. I raced bandoleros before moving to legends and stuck with my smaller wheel until some of the other drivers told me to try a bigger wheel. Made a huge difference, felt like I was driving a different car.

  • @cowpoodle003
    @cowpoodle003 8 лет назад

    Stick with it Des! It's been really great watching your trials and sucesses getting into this series -- while this weekend must have been very tough, you've clearly been building confidence. The scraps throughout this race were incredible and you were holding your own. IMO, the incident was not your fault -- the other driver clearly didn't give you room on the inside. At the point it happened you were committed and he left you nowhere to go, so 50/50 is generous to him. That said, I think it's exactly right to call it a racing incident and not try to apportion blame. I also have to say that I really appreciate the work you put into your videos, especially the couple like this that you've cut together with the track cameras and commentary. Do what you have to do to keep yourself in a good position financially, but I think you've shown great promise as a racing driver and as a RUclipsr!

    Wow, only got around to watch the video now but what an amazing race! And that off-road at lap two was crazy! Great car control throughout the whole race, while you still don't seem to have the confidence of the "veterans" it looks like you're quickly getting there! Seeing those oversteer on videos is a thing, catching them in real life is another haha, and considering you were sideways practically the whole race it really is an impressive show of skill! Those cars really look super-fun to drive, I've seen one drive the other day and he was lapping as fast as the 2-11 I was driving...crazy stuff! And about that, the car looked much smaller in real life compared to the video; is it possible that there are two types of them maybe?

    • @desfoleyracing
      @desfoleyracing 8 лет назад

      +Gabriele Gonzales No the cars are 5/8 scale so really small when you sit in. Well done on the test btw, sorry I never got back to you, read about it when I was on the go and forgot to get back to you.

But aye this car is such a handful and considering it was your first race I wouldn't say this is a bad result at all :) also, props on the camera placement, it is great as you can see your feet as well as the "top part".
