The Flying Scotsman Sim Racing
Франция
Добавлен 12 апр 2009
Grab a beer, pull up a chair, sit down and watch a man in his mid 50's trying to learn how to sim race!!
Gaming since 1979 I've played many driving games over the years, but decided to really attack sim racing properly in January 2024. Just looking to get half decent and have a lot of fun with some close racing, whilst trying not to make a complete idiot of myself.
On this channel you should gradually see more racing games than just Assetto Corsa and that is because I love all forms of motorsport, bikes, cars, anything with an engine really. I saw James Hunt grab the F1 crown way back and I was instantly hooked. So much so that 25+ years after that I finally got the chance to race motorbikes for a couple of years. That was just an amazing rush, but sadly, lacking in money and the talent to attract more of it I had to give up.
My gamer name has been Luke Sharp for decades so that does appear in some games.
Current wheel setup is a lowly Logitech G29 with the matching pedals.

Assetto Corsa | Mazda MX5 Cup | Murder in a Mazda| Brno| LFM S15W9
This is week 9 of season 15 on the LFM servers and we are off to Brno, in the Czech Republic. I've never raced here, which is not unusual this season as there are many tracks I haven't raced especially seeing as I really only started sim racing in January this year. I gave my Logitech pedals a good blast out with a compressor and that seems to have made a bit of a difference, I was instantly around a second faster so they must have been really badly dusted up. Note to self - do that more often.
I qualified in 2nd in the 2nd split, a second ahead of my nearest competitor but a fair chunk slower than first place so definitely expecting a podium. Elo had dipped into the low 1400's but has tak...

This is week 8 of season 15 on the LFM servers and we are off to Laguna Seca, in the good 'ol US of A, with it's terrifying blind Corkscrew curve. It always causes grief and many racers have come a cropper on it, including me on a number of occasions. Can I actually make it down the hill without a huge crash today? I qualified in 6th in the 3rd split, so not great, but the sole advantage of bei...

This is week 7 of season 15 on the LFM servers and we are off to Imola, which is not a circuit I have ever driven unfortunately. Brand new livery as I am now a patreon member of LFM. You should consider it, it's a damn sight cheaper than iRacing. I qualified in 7th in the 3rd split, so not great, but the sole advantage of being in a lower split is that everyone's pace should be pretty similar N...

This is the fourth week of season 15 on the LFM servers and we are off to Autodromo Most in the Czech Republic, which is not a circuit I have ever even heard of, let alone driven. I qualified in a lowly 14th in the 2nd split, so not great, but it definitely went from bad to worse in the first corner as I dropped down to 1st gear instead of 2nd, got hit from behind and basically had a complete d...

As expected, I qualified mid table in a reasonably high elo field, where I am ranked 11th, hopefully I could manage to put in a respectable showing and maybe with a bit of luck finish top 10.

This is the last week of season 14 on the LFM servers and we are off to Suzuka, where I have never raced in a sim before, being relatively new to sim racing and with barely 45 minutes practice I'm pretty keen to follow some of the other cars through certain corners to try and understand a bit better the lines I should be taking. As expected, I qualified way down the field, just hoping I can sta...

This is a new circuit to me, with fairly limited time to learn it so going in to the first race with about 40 minutes practice under my belt and very keen to follow some of the other cars through certain corners to try and understand a bit better the lines I should take. On this circuit there appear to be absolutely no track limits whatsoever, with some VERY wide lines being taken. I qualified ...

Hi there, fellow middle aged lfm racer 😂. You have some nice apps all around your view. Can you share what apps you use? Thanks in advance.
Hi, no probs at all, I mostly use CMRT which is free to use from www.overtake.gg apart from 1 sidekick one which shows me what I need to adjust tyre pressures by. Hope that helps. Hopefully see you in a race soon and thx for the sub.
As mentioned before, Respect. Thanks for sharing this video. Look forward to more
Thanks very much, it was a fun race. Glad to see you joined the Crusty Old Racers team.
Great stuff as always, Luke! 💪
@@EduEK4 Thanks Eduardo, your track guides are amazing, just wish I was anywhere near your pace
@@TheFlying-Scotsman you already have a solid base and there is nothing we can´t work on together!
@@EduEK4 I've been thinking about it. I may have to do it soon as I know it would help.
hey man! i was the guy chasing u the whole race unfortunately ended bc backmarker but still a really fun race! recpect keep up the great vids!
@@Gur69 Good to see you here, really enjoyed our battle. So sorry for tagging you but you slowed so unexpectedly! That's why I let you back through, so we could continue our battle 😁
Good racing, well done on the podium I had the starting lights not working bug not so long ago - a "verify integrity of game files" in steam sorted it for me
@@Pundus cheers mate. I'll check the files, see if it is that.
Just watched this. Great drive. Fil invited me to join Crusty Old Racers which I did this afternoon. I am 75 so I guess I qualify as old. Really enjoying LFM Racing which I started running in earlier this year. I started online SIM Racing in October 2023. Thanks for posting your races.
I'm glad you joined, and thanks very much for the kind comment. I just started in January this year and am loving it. I'm never going to be much better, but it's just as much fun battling at the back.
nice racing, great result on the podium 😁
@@Pundus Thx very much. Bit of a gift at the end.
Bravo!! It sure is a very cool intro, with a very cool soundtrack!! :)
It was a quite good race for you indeed. Well done on grabing P3 in the last moments! I was hoping to have some head to head moments with you, but I lost time right on lap 1 trying to avoid the incident on the car on front of me. My pace was a bit more slower than you and the rest of the front drivers, so I lost sight from you and the rest of the pack. Hope to see you again on the tracks soon, its always nice to race against Crusty Old Racers team mates! 😎👍
@@nocommentaryjustgaming Thx. I enjoyed that one, didn't make too many bad mistakes. It would have been nice to have had a closer battle with you, it's always good to have fair fights for position. See you next time out.
You say you are slow but you were consistent and kept it on track. That's what matters the most, especially in the Mazdas. Well done on the suprise podium at the end 👍😊
Keeping it on track here is quite a novelty and definitely a huge bonus at the end.
Great driving. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the kind comment. I was quite happy with the consistency if not the pace.
Great result Luke I haven’t raced this week as I’ve lost force feedback and thought I would not be competitive with 1.39s seems I was wrong
Thanks very much. I'm on a G92 so not great feedback here either but better than none. 1.39's at the beginning of the week is good, not so sure about the end of the week though.
Super clean race! Lap 1 reactions were spot on and last lap way to take advantage for that podium love to see it! Bringing in other drivers POVs and crashes is a lovely touch for this commentary, well done! Thanks for the shoutout ❤❤
Thanks Adam, probably the cleanest race I've had in a while, lower splits can sometimes be a bit of a crash fest. Definitely got lucky at the end, but hey, a podium's a podium. Feedback noted and hopefully my editing can improve. No probs on the shoutout, I really enjoy your streams.
Solid effort, Luke! Just one quick thing I spotted: add some deadzone to the top of the throttle pedal. Make it so about 97-98% of pressure will mean 100% in-game. It looks like your throttle was not going to 100% at times during this race.
Hi Eduardo, thanks for the hint. I think I also need to clean the pedals, they gather a lost of dust very quickly.
Great result 👍
Thanks Fil, mostly more luck than skill.
@@TheFlying-Scotsman hey when lady luck shines, take the rewards 😂👍
Definitely
It's not your false sir.. 😅
I don't think so. I must be invisible though.
A race to forget if I would say. Adelaide sure its a mess of a circuit for incidents!
Definitely. Tricky circuit for the GTR
Thanks again for posting. Challenging track.
@@JohnElliot-vi3nt it's a very challenging track, but always good to get clean battles.
Hi Raced you earlier this week beat you by one had an awful week at Imola 3 dnfs good work hope to race you soon. easily recognisable car by the way
@@mrmystery9779 3 DNF's. How? What a nightmare. I haven't enjoyed Imola at all, far too difficult. See you next week, hopefully. Easily seen livery, glad you like it, it's my first attempt.
Gearboxes destroyed kept forgetting to use clutch on one particular corner and absolutely destroyed on a first corner shunt. elo from 1600 to 1250 this week. very difficult track I agree did a 2.07 in cm but could not repeat it in lfm and my ff has packed up now all in all a great week
That stage was tough indeed! Not even those minor incidents stopped you for having a quite good run! I think I have the game on Playstation too, so this is asking for a friendly challenge indeed. Lets see if still have some rally skills on me 😅Big cheers from Portugal 👍
@@nocommentaryjustgaming give it a go, you know you want to
@@TheFlying-Scotsman Will do it tonight. Lets see if I am not rusty. Bring more challenges if you want it btw 🙂
Good run 👍 well done😊
Oh it could be a lot better. Have a go yourself.
Mr.. This stage reverse from my first event on last video.. Great to see you on diving. You can do better next time.. 👍🏻✨🤟🏻💪🏻, more fast at the end track..
@@ja_gameplay thx. Been a bit busy recently and not on much this week again either.
Don't follow me, I'm lost too, as the bumper sticker used to say. The Dirt dailies are fun and dirt 2 is often on sale dirt cheap if u dont have it.
@@TheFlying-Scotsman still not found it cheaper yet, used to play Dirt Rally 2.0 on Xbox so I have been wanting it for a while
OK, I might have to follow and try these....this could be the COR challange!
You beat me by miles!!
@TheFlying-Scotsman I reckon I have 30 secs in that if I don't bin it and know it a bit better
That first nudge was comical, at least ya made it through
That was just the start of it. Carnage the whole race tbh.
Car billiards 😂
@@ibro68 Good description
Ouch!! You literally got stuck on the incident. People are still with a hangover from Sunday I guess KKK
Looks like it
Thanks for posting. Nice recovery
@@JohnElliot-vi3nt you're welcome, and thx very much.
Good race, a few mistakes, but don't we all, I'm an expert at them, but a decent finish in the end holdong off the guy you were fighting with. 😊
@@ibro68 worst one was 1st gear at T1...what a fanny!! And yeh, a few slides, but all good fun.
I'd take that as a win, nice comeback
@@fil_lokka Thanks mate, I enjoyed that race and felt I held on well at the end. I actually messaged the guy I was battling with to tell him it was a goody.
Indeed! A top 10 finish its already a pretty good result. And with that havoc in the start, yeah you have made a pretty nice comeback! Let this week end, for me this circuit is a tragedy 😅 Hate this circuit, but I really love the next week circuit! Have fun out there 😎
Side by side.. 👍🏻✨, don't wanna loose their position.. 💪🏻
@@ja_gameplay novody ever likes losing position. But sometimes you just have to accept it
thank you for the shoutout, my man!
@@EduEK4 No problem at all, your setups are amazing. Just wish I was good enough to use them anywhere near as well as you.
That was demolition derby. Guess some other drivers forgot they were in Assetto Corsa. And Jim always trying to be funny 😅
@@nocommentaryjustgaming All my fault to be honest. I normally click down 3 gears, but forgot I was only in 4th. 4-3=1 NOT 2.😏
@@TheFlying-Scotsman You caused some havoc then 😂 👍
@@nocommentaryjustgaming unfortunately it was me, although I did get hit from behind which didn't help
It's usually a bad sign when people behind you take each other out on a straight 🤔😂
Absolutely. I just thought I'd add to the carnage.
@@TheFlying-Scotsman to be fair I think you were just carried along by it 😂
That chicane is a nightmare, I know the feeling. Thanks for the share, from both races, and specially the one that dind´t go so good. These shares are also important to see, because racing also have these "bad" moments. That can lower our morale, but that didn´t happen to you, and race number two surely went quite well (even better that you expected). Looking forward for the next video. Greetings from Portugal 🙂👍
Yeh, I was a bit down after the first race coz I felt I just couldn't keep it on the track, but the 2nd race was so much better, even if I was a bit lucky on occasion. Slow is fast. You are very welcome to the share.
Nice to keep performance on car.. And stay calm on the race sir..
I think the car can perform a lot better than the driver!! Thanks for watching.
@@TheFlying-Scotsman hemm I see you are max on car sir.. But why other can push you.. Different car? Or different on upgrade or set up?
@@ja_gameplay many people are just better.
@@TheFlying-Scotsman okay sir.. They are better but we will be better too..💪🏻👍🏻✨
Just discovered you channel, Great racing! shame about the off, but he was putting you under a lot of pressure look forward to seeing more, deffo worth a sub mate :)
@@Pundus thx for the sub, glad you enjoy the racing. Yeh, he was probably a little faster than me, but I defo caved under the pressure 😁
I imagine your SR at the end of the race 😐
Only -0.1 😜
@@TheFlying-Scotsman You barely felt the loss of SR then. Good to know. Hope the next races can go smoother. 👍🙂
Three places in 1 second, sweet! Nice move! 🙂
Yep, would have been sweeter if I hadn't been so far down the field
Yummy... 😅
Thx very much
Love it , full race summed up I guess 😂
In a nutshell
You were doing so well until that driving mistake Sir Luke, what a pity. But you had a quite steady pace, and I bet we will see you shine in the next races. Nice overtakes btw, and that incident at 1:58...that was a really close call. Stay strong on track, this season is gonna be hot!😎💪
@@nocommentaryjustgaming thanks mate, yeh it was going reasonably well up until I remembered I was an idiot 😁. That incident was close but I'll do a short of one that was even closer from a different race.
Always stay cool when driving sir.. A little slip make the result different. But the important think your performance is good.. 👍🏻✨
@@ja_gameplay I try to stay cool, but not easy when you're being pressured from behind. I definitely buckled under the pressure.
@@TheFlying-Scotsman same with me sir, better we behind the opponent, it's more easy to read the line and move.. Note : if our car more fast and good timing. 😎
Not a bad start to the season, pity about the mistake but the Mazda and kerbs don't mix as we all know 😂. We're all a bit rusty so things can only get better 😊
@@ibro68 Yep, was happy with my pace, but my own fault entirely. Need to learn to defend better.
Sir, may be sound on game give more volume? Or it set for low volume.. Always interesting to see you as driver also commentator 😁, The replay also interest me too. 👍🏻🙏🏻
I'll need to look at the sound levels. Glad you enjoyed it, plenty more to come in the future.
Not a terrible result 👍 Video looking slick 👌
Thx very much on both counts Fil
That avoid of the carnage at lap 2, that was really close, glad you made it through! And I'm quite like you, I am more worried about my SR, I pray in every race to avoid contacts, but that is being hard to avoid for much that I try. Glad you had fun in this season, that's the most important thing after all. Hope to see more from you in the new season! Keep your videos coming 👍🙂
Thanks very much, it was a fun race, even though I was way down the field. Just very happy to avoid the major crashes. Season was a lot of fun, looking forward to the new one.
Some good crash avoidance there and a good race overall 😊
Thx very much. Better than I expected tbh.
You had few practice in Portimão and ended up in P3...what a terrific result! You kept your focus, and despite of the incidents and bumps you never gave up. I gotta be honest about the driver Andres, when he forced a bump into your car I said to myself "thats not a good example of sporstmanship", and when he went off track a few moments later I said exactly what you said in the video "instant karma". Serves him right! The last lap was surely insane too, crazy ending thats for sure! Keep your videos coming! Greetins from Portugal 🙂👍
Thanks very much. I managed to go about 4 seconds faster in the race than the practice, it must be to do with time of day, conditions etc. Definitely never give up, you just never know what's going to happen. Andres behind me was VERY fast, he qualified really high up and his fastest lap was easily 2 seconds faster than me, he just got seriously battered in the first couple of laps.
Don't try cut mr Scotsman.. 😁💪🏻
I raced before they amended the limits. I think it was better later in the week, but I didn't get a chance to race again
Good race and well done on the podium, he definitely tried to cut you up.
Cheers mate, was definitely punching above my weight in that one. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was on him.
