Добавлен 28 авг 2023
This old fella is known to the the real world as Trevor Scott. Radio Announcer, Media Sales professional and motorsport commentator, these days mostly speedway at Gillman in South Australia and a few local SA car tracks.
I have had a ripper career in commentating and also commercial and community radio. Slowly getting to the end of it all so that is what this channel is all about.
This journey continues with ups and downs but mostly fun and learning. It also shows that age is no barrier to enjoying iRacing and Sim Racing.
It's really all about fun and enjoying the racing. So come on the journey with me.
Now running a Logitech G Pro wheels and pedals, outstanding.
As an older person, 65 plus, this shows that anyone can try iRacing or sim-racing in general.
It is certainly a release from the real world.
So, if you are looking for a laugh and a real journey without the bells and whistles, remember to subscribe and share. Thank you.

A good drive but way off the pace, tried the medium downforce and I thought it was ok in practice but seemed to be not so good in the race. Made a bad judgement and ran wide at one stage onto the marbles and off we went into the grass, the best thing is no body hit me and I didn't hit anyone so Yay. See you at the next one.

A good race, but I still feel a little off the pace and inconsistent, will get it sorted. Double green is good. See you again later. This had to be edited together as I have had some pretty difficult internet problems lately.

A good race, just two hits that seemed a little harsh but survived and picked up a double green. I have not actually raced a season in this car so I plan to keep going now this season. See you at the next one.

I have had an interesting couple of races with all finishing with double figure losses on iRating and sRating losses. But that is the sim and it is the same for most of us. This was a great race and very enjoyable really. See you at the next one.

Another fun race, I do hope this can continue. A terrific car that I am sure I can learn to be quicker in. Some good close racing and some good defensive driving by Xavia. See you at the next one.

An ok run this time, way too many think they can gain positions early and on the hardest turns of the track but hey we ended up ok. For me to finish without a meatball flag and a long pit stop for repairs, I am very happy. See you at the next one.

Here we go, something just a little different. I enjoyed this up until a back marker decided he wanted to take me out. I think it was an accident but honestly he could have stayed clear. At the end a fellow decided to run into the back of me full throttle, no points recorded but he does have a reputation for driving badly and I wonder if he should be reported. I will think about it. Other than ...

Well this was fun for most of the race but a under talented and over zealous Aussie decided he would take move on the grass, lost control and drove straight into me. No apology just took off out of the sim. I wonder sometimes why people do not treat this sim and other drivers with more respect. The journey will continue.

I have finally been able to enter a race this week and record it successfully after a number of failed attempts. Overall this was a fun race and I thought I did pretty well but you will see on the last lap one over-enthusiastic Devin decided he was going to dive up the inside, I let him have plenty of room, he of course was unable to stop in the rain, plowed straight through and collected me on...

I have never seen the right mudguard of my Ferrari
I have a 49 inch curved screen that allows just a little extra width. Cheers and happy new year.
Good race mate,well done..i struggled in the ferrari round here,had better luck in the mercedes.
Would you recommend buying the acura mate?
I would say so, it is very forgiving and for me so far has been pretty quick. So yes it is worth having. Thanks for watching and being a part of the journey.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg thanks for the advice,I might bite the bullet and go for it,feel I need something different to mix it up for the gt3 races.
Great race Trev,well done
Cheers, thank you
Great race on your part mate,shame about the couple of clowns trying to take you out,it's honestly unbelievable, I don't understand why these folk bother entering races....merry Christmas to you and family
"I said I'd never do it again but here we are" . . . . . sound's just like me Trevor 🤣 Double 🟩 which is the main thing Trevor. There seems to be a few crazies around at the moment (maybe because it's the Christmas holidays there's a few kids around). I've had a few races today where people have just thrown it down the inside with no respect for anyone.
Nice podium. Also that's an easy protest... little Timmy could not bear that you finished 3rd... and that's why i leave asap after finish.
Totally agree about the bmw series,i tried it a couple days back and it was a disaster.safe to say first time last time😂..great resultcand drive again mate,keep it up
Good race mate,I'm going to race F4 this season as well,fancy laguna seca this week,could be interesting with the new gravel lol...which I'm loving
Hi, thanks for the comment, I will be having an attempt at Laguna as well. Enjoy.
Double green, nice consistent laps.
Good Job Trevor 👍🏻. I always look at it that you don't race at Nords, you drive and the main thing is that you Survive and you did that sir. I did a few in this one last week and it is such a fun car to drive. Quite a nice bit of power, but challenging as it's prone to a bit of understeer.
Great video again mate..hope your well...I first got into sim racing because of the formula cars,and drive to survive,but as soon as I drove the gt3 that was me hooked,very rarely drive open wheel now.
I started 13 years ago with mostly NASCAR racing and then they introduced the Australian V8 Supercars, I just carried on from there. I was driving the F1 cars for a bit but my old computers would not handle them well. Now enjoying the GT3 and GT4. Might have a go at something different in the new season. Hope you are enjoying your own racing as well. Cheers Trev
You are always taking a chance racing lower class races. These drivers are barely out of Rookie, and trying to learn their race craft. You might have better results racing "B" or "A" class races, although they would be lower split races, the Drivers would have an idea how to race safer. Just a thought.
It is a good thought and welcome advice. I tend to try and race a class and series for the entire season. Also the higher rated events tend for some reason to not become available as often. On the improve now looking forward to the next season. Thanks for your input it is appreciated. Trev
So while the incident with August wasn't your fault at all, and honestly I don't think there was much you could've done to avoid it. I don't think it was intentional, there could be loads of different reasons ranging from 'he was watch your car and not the track' and 'forgot to brake for the corner' to 'saw a gap that didn't exist and thought it worked like Forza'. I was surprised you'd lost your wing, I honestly couldn't tell that you were struggling for control for the remainder of that lap. You can save yourself loads of time in future by going through your Black Boxes and unchecking the pit servicing options for fuel and tyres in the F4 and F5 Black boxes before the race. Just make sure you leave the Fast Repair box checked! When you do this, you literally only need to stop for a split second to repair the damage and you won't have to wait for the tyres to change as well!
Hey Dan, you are correct there. Thanks for the advice. See you on line some time. Trev
Unlucky mate,frustrating when that happens to you
The joy of Australia and South Australia internet, not up to world standard. But it could have been worse. Thanks for being there.
Great race mate,well done..this track gives me fuji feels
Cheers, I like this little track.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg I'm the same,enjoy the corners and fast straights..also enjoyed zolder this week in the mercedes gt4,and tried my hand with the BMW gt4 at VIR,surprised how well that car handles,better than the new one in my opinion.
Great drive trevor🙌i actually bought this car yesterday,going to do this race today acter some practice,fun little car to drive
the second spin i think, too much speed and too much steering input. Good race, i'll try also later this week.
It was all my doing that is for sure. 3 days off and lost the plot.
Good result in the end Trevor👍🏻 Not driven Zolder yet, but looks like fun . . . . . which the same can't be said about the car. People seemed to forget that the cup car has no ABS and TC, so you end up with a lot of cars that are out of control, which in turn ruin the race for other people.
It's a tough combo with those tight chicanes but really fun when it comes together. Thanks for being along for my little journey.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg @nock-racing yes it's a great combo when you get it right,both track and car flow great together.
Good race from yourself mate👍unfortunately nothing can be done for the reckless ones.
All I can do is keep moving forward and try to get back over 2K iRating so I end up in what should be better splits. Thanks for the comments and watching.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg I went up to 1600 irating recently,and I was hoping the races would be better in terms of less crashes,still the same🙈only difference is I'm struggling to get in top 10 now 😂
@@TheSIMpleRacer Yeah can relate to that mate, the driving standards are just as poor even in higher ir splits 🤔
The only way to get rid of the mirror Trevor would be to change the Camera Settings (CTRL + F12 in the replay mode). I don't think there's a graphics option to take care of it. Nicely done Trevor, I did this one in the Mazda and it was pretty challenging in Druids, the conditions seemed to get worse as the race went on, despite no rain falling
Always good to get out of your comfort zone from time to time Trevor 👍🏻 Just picked up the F3 myself so looking forward to jumping into it and having a go. Always been more of a formula driver over sports car.
If you can get to the 2200 iRating area, the races get much cleaner
I now have my new goal, cheers.
That's was tough luck at the end mate,how come you ran out of fuel?pushing too hard,or did you adjust fuel before race?I seen dav cam done same
I didn't realise I needed to add fuel at the beginning. Thinking it was a fixed set up race. My mistake.
It's always a good morning when I turn on RUclips and there is 2 or 3 new videos from Trevor uploaded😊
I will get a couple more up soon. Has been a horror couple of days I must say. Thanks for being there, I do appreciate it.
The diving from behind after the green lights is so stupid imo,why try to dive in front of drivers you either didn't beat in qualifying, or you didn't bother to qualify
Great race mate,shame that clown drove into you,folk have no patience. Onto the next one👍
Tough result there (SR wise) Trevor - I've not raced here before this week and it's an interesting track, where a lot of people make mistakes in the second half of the lap and are all over the place. Good luck next week mate 👍🏻
Thanks mate, yes it has been a struggle. But once I break back to higher splits it may improve. Never give up I say.
There are some special people play this game mate...you need to go safety rating farming and get out of those lower splits,theyll just keep wrecking you.good luck in the next one buddy
Hey mate, cheers, things are on the improve I think. As you say there are some special ones in here. But all I will do is keep on going and get back to those higher splits. Cheers. TRev
what an absolute shitshow was that few first laps xD nice race... the sad part, that iracing doesn't have any support... otherwise these Jensen guys would be banned for life... what a lowlife... and he flash you to get out the way... because he faster...
also a voice mute button on the wheel is a life saver
I know why he was flashing but I find that quite unnecessary, it is also not permitted except in a few situations here in Australia in the real world. All I will do is just keep on going and get back into some higher splits and hope it works better for me. After all we are for fun and that is what I am doing. Thanks for being there.
Complaining too much !
So glad you seem to be happy with your new equipment mate,bug investment to make,glad to see it payed off,enjoy👍
Youll need to do a review video on your new wheel and pedals mate,definitely interested in learning more about them
Good racing there Trevor. We all get those frustrating races where we have to deal with those people, but you handled it well and didn't lose your head 👍🏻
Good going mate,would love to race beside you,good safe driving
Thanks mate see you on track.
Everyone loves a bit of rain right 🤣 When I did this one last week, where you lost it in the Carousel, I noticed that there was a small river that runs across the track on the inside and if you go through it, the car is thrown out. If I may offer you a tip, when you're in a race with "Fast Repairs" turn off Refuel and Change Tyres in the black box before the race. That way, when you pull up to the box, you'll be able to drive away instantly 👍🏻
It makes you so angry when other drivers who have no interest in racing safely ram you off the road like destruction derby,and seemingly drive off into the sunset leaving you damaged...happened to me olst brands hatch this week on porsche cup,didnt make the 1st turn and 2 car from 2 rows back came flying forward into the turn and rammed me off road.great video again Trevor,keep them coming
I have been racing and keeping up. Will have a few new videos shortly. A new week now so should be better.
what an absolute carnage in the first lap xD
It's the story of the week really. Hoping the new week will improve.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg we'll be in red bull ring.. sooooo, we'll see. Not so SR friendly track.
Hi Trevor, I just want to encourage you to keep racing. This video was an inspiration, despite what happened you kept going, kept the right attitude, well done, you're a hero.
Cheers mate, it really has been a week of meatball flags. A few better races coming soon. Will not give up, goal is 3.5 plus sRating this season.
That guy at 4 minutes ramming was just silly. Lots of weirdos driving
Tough one that Trevor. If you caught my GT3 video last week, I had a similar time at Red Bull Ring and it just makes you feel so meh and makes you question why you do it. Then a new week rolls round, you pick yourself up, forget all about it and try to carry on once more. I'm sure the next one will be better bud 👍🏻
You done great to keep the yellow car behind you mate,he was desperate for an overtake
I really feel for you mate,its definitely not your connection,as this has been happening to me more recently,esp in the ferrari challenge, there seems to be some brain dead idiots in that series,i dont know about everyone else,but it takes me alot of my time,to wait for,and enter a race,that i try my best not to end it on the first lap for myself or anyone else,but clearly not everyone has the same thinking.dont hang up the gloves,keep digging deep,plus i enjoy your videos too much😊
Bad luck getting caught out by that kerb twice, mate. But those were two cracking recovery drives! I'll be honest that was an incredibly brave move into Druids on lap 13! I'd have waited for Lodge and the Deer Leap, personally but well done for getting it done at Druids! Unfortunate with the spins but with enough races like that you'll be alright!
Well that was heartbraking to watch. Who'd have thought simply driving two-by-two for a few hundred metres would be tough, y'know, the same way you do on the motorway? Trev if you've got the replay I'd be tempted to have a look at that smash on the pace lap, it looked like car 10 basically stopped on track which I'd protest. As for the other 4x at 04:54: ehhh... I mean you could kinda see him going long before he did and you didn't touch the brake until the smoke cleared and by then it was way too late. In fact, you went back on the gas when the smoke was at its thickest and you couldn't see what that Macca was doing. To save you some time in the pits if there's a next time - look up some chat macros. Personally I use #clear$ and #fr$ and assign them to different chat hotkeys. The first clears all your pit service options away (Tyres, fuel and Fast Repair) the othe toggles your Fast Repair back on. They're literally the first two keys I hit after the grid button for fixed races!
I don't have the replay, I remember thinking that car ahead will go off to my right so I went slightly left but he didn't go as quickly as I thought and so ended up with the 4x. Thanks for you help with the pit thing I will see how to do this with hotkeys.
Felt for you in this race mate,nothing worse than being in the same split as a bunch of clowns with no race etiquette, it happened to me in the porsche cup yesterday at Silverstone, I didn't survive 1 lap
I'm feeling your pain
Well done Trevor,great race mate
Thanks mate, I hope to do more in this car.
Good running mate
Nice win,well done mate🎉...I'm getting fed up just now on iracing,just done a gt4 race,and 2 separate cars in 2 separate incidents wrecked me, then both disconnected.so annoying.
I also have had some challenging hits this week from various classes. Could not believe one, where I was hit from behind on the grid before we moved, he then did it again before the green. I suppose we just have to grin and bear it. Thanks for watching it really is great to know that people do see what I am doing as worthwhile.
@OldManiRacing-fj4lg I seen that video mate,couldn't believe it myself,it honestly boggles my brain at what goes through folks heads at times lol...love your videosTrev,and always look forward to the next one.keep up the good work
@@TheSIMpleRacer Thanks mate, it's all just good fun.
He seemed to turn in early on that last chicane
