Can we forgive this person already 😂😂 ( I’m talking about the song if ur volume is off )

Awesome save at 0:52

Very good video. You are not a 'Professional' until your PRIMARY INCOME comes from driving a racing car. Those people are very rare and it is a huge achievement to get there. I always have issue with people calling themselves a Pro when they are not earing their living from racing. If you get paid a little money you are a semi-pro and anything else you are an amateur. Does not sound as sexy but it is the truth.

Yes, that thermometer says 117 degrees in the cockpit

He said 7 seconds...... 15 seconds is an eternity lol

Only other time you move that fast is to get to the bathroom post traffic

yeah, I miss racing so bad.

Thats was fast !

Ah yes, the dark taint of racing.

Great well explained video. Not enough people know this about our sport. A lot of smoke and mirrors. I like the point that a lot of drivers that pay their way are just as talented as the "pros". While it is true, a LOT of those you see on TV might be normal people operating on play money as their hobby, I think your POV is limiting to a lot of those in this industry, at every level no matter how public facing, who work hard to put food on the table doing this and are without a doubt professional drivers. These are coach/anchor drivers, drivers with sponsorships that don't get paid unless they provide marketable opportunities for the companies they represent (i.e. race, no way around it), and teams that use one "pro" car to promote their rental car. It's unfair to box these people as amateurs, because it is their job. Not a hobby. A professional is someone who does something for a living. A professional who races with and coaches an Am (who funds the team) is still a professional racecar driver because they are, in fact, racing a car and getting paid to do it. Heck, even "pay drivers" racing in the lower levels of the sport accept a salary off their funding and prize money based on results. No race organization or sanction that I know of is solvent enough to cover the costs of teams solely on winnings. "Factory" efforts are just marketing like every other company or individual investor that backs racers. By lumping any driver, no matter their talent or upbringing, in the box "amateur" because they accept their check from a source other than a manufacturer, or that they had more (or less) resources to get there than others, you eliminate a lot of talent at EVERY level of the sport and damage the sport. My $0.02.

Professional = you are doing it as your profession, you are doing it for work.

How much money does it take to go racing It takes all of it

you should do a video on the path that those top level talent folks go through, how much it costs, and how more often than not the top, highest paid (NASCAR, F1, Indy) drivers had opportunities and funding that most people don't have access to. I.E. explain the costs to go from karting to F1 and how much each piece costs and the average sponsor package each team is actually able to secure.

Awesome info for those that care. More breakdowns please, I think we all need a reminder/lesson or two. Nothing more enjoyable than racing others that are clean, fast and respectable.

One on the inside. If you know you're going to get passed, and the passer gets in your peripheral like they're supposed to. You're not supposed to impede the passer.

This is extremely well said

Green E36 on the right stalled and the brown one overtook his position very risky

右の赤い車が前の黒い車を追い越したからですね、スタート後規定距離までは追い越し禁止、ただスタート出来ない車は追い越し可。

False start? Idek what happened but I wish I could race

The search has started for a car of my own. Mid-Ohio is only a few hours from me. 8)

Let's see them at 150

@2:18 Massive divebomb LOL

Hope to join you guys real soon

There was a gap. Shoulda gone for it

Lots of things learned from this. Thanks for sharing!

It’s very true that even running at normal track day it still requires a lot of funding on your own for normal workers. Driving fast is a costly habit

I need this in my life!!

I am going to use this video in training for our seat rentals Thanks for this

Debris on the track

Cool!

The left foot tap on the brakes before a heavy braking zone does a couple things 1) gives the driver a chance to confirm their brakes still work normally a few hundred feet before the braking zone 2) "sets" the brake pads closer to the rotor for better pedal feel. This is especially important after going across rumble strips/curbs/gators that cause significant pad "knock back"

the praises of the Pittsburgh International Race Complex

a cool Track

Exactly what i was searching for everywhere on google but couldnt find you explained each and everything in great detail thanks a lot.

My god so many bmw

Damn. I shift WAAY too much compared to this video.

Is there a car in iracing or any of the others that “feel” like your real car?

My fav track in iRacing! Would love to do it for real. I’d probably kill somebody though lol

vir I've been there before

Good wheelin out there brother

Hey great race! Just some viewer feedback. The camera location is a bit low so we can’t see over the dashboard

Top left is new pavement 1:32.4 - This lap is very sloppy and should have been a 1:31 with ease, but I haven't had enough time on the new pavement to string it together yet. Bottom right is old pavement 1:34.4 Exactly a year apart. Same car, same driver. Rebuilt factory diff and thicker front ARB and some rebound adjustments on the shocks are the differences in set up. There is a 1:30 out there easily for a Spec3. The new pavement is worth 2 seconds easily. Turn 1 is almost 10 mph faster now and the octopus has a lot more grip on entry, mid, and exit.

A couple more notes to make clear 1) Normally I'd be well into 5th on the straight, but I was 6 ish mph slower this lap due to letting that car by on the last turn 2) That weird howling is my transmission 3) I also was experimenting with not shifting to 4th in turn 6 on this particular lap. I don't think that's the fastest way through there 4) Turn 1 was completely botched on this lap. I overslowed quite a bit and didn't even need to use that outside curbing like normal I did not string together a "perfect" lap at all over the weekend, or even get close.

The guy in front is the one that is a little off. This track is VIR I been on it and around it a few times. Awesone track.
