My pleasure, thank you for the kind words. Yes, I always try to think through what I’m doing and make the sensible decision. Sometimes I get it wrong, like the end of this race - in hindsight, I should have left a space for him to rejoin and taken the 8th position. But I thought it was worth a try to push!
@@BOTRacing Thanks Adam, yeah I agree it wasn’t the safest rejoin. But I wished I’d read the situation better… he’d been a bit erratic at times, so I probably should have guessed that he’d try to squeeze back on!
Thanks Walt, yeah I felt the same. I always believe that you give up your right to fight for the position if you run off track, and should rejoin behind the cars you’re battling with. But on this occasion I wish I’d left the space, as I’d still have finished 8th if I had done! Cheers for watching!
Great race, great coverage, even better to see Brodie Steen’s talent in an international server. Brodie is all class; quick but very fair. Well done for staying with them all.
I thought I recognised the name from somewhere! Reckon I must have seen him in some of DDF’s ANZ races maybe. But yeah, some drive to get back to that position after being last on lap one! In hindsight, I’m quite pleased that I managed to mix it with him for a little bit!
@@chrisrogerssimracing well, one and a half year ago i was in your shoes as well, but hard work paid off! Don't let yourself down and you will succeed❤
Great racing! Hearing you say "Bachayedu" with such enthusiasm was pretty funny, though, because it's not a real name. It just means "watch out, I'm driving" in Czech (bacha jedu)
Haha I try to stay calm, but it doesn’t always work! I very rarely get angry, but I do take it to heart sometimes and it puts me off racing for a bit. Usually I find a taking a few days or a week’s break gets my enthusiasm back though 😃
Oh man just to think how many options as a simracers we got! Acc, raceroom and now rf2 lfm support, it's just crazy. And finally they brought gt4s back on schedule.
Hi Jamal, yes it’s the Otterhud overlay for RaceRoom. You just need to hide the standard leaderboard standings (the one that runs across the top of the screen) and use TV tower within Otterhud instead 👍
Another exciting race and commentary,reminds me so much of the great Murray Walker but I guess you hear that all the time, are you doing Oulton Parc on ACC LFM this week?
Ahh cheers Peter, it’s certainly the highest compliment anyone could receive! Yes, sure am aiming to do Oulton Park later this week. Slightly scared by it - I have a history of disasters at Oulton! Good luck, when you get to it 😃
Yeah that’s generally the rule I race by. If you run off track, you wait for a safe gap to rejoin. Was a tough call, this incident. Technically, I hadn’t passed him - or even got fully level alongside him - as he came back on to the track. If I’d have been more aware, I would have left an extra car’s width to let him back on - not out of kindness to him, but more to protect myself! But by going for it, I ended up losing at least 3 positions. Oh well, you win some, you lose some!
@@firstjayjay Thsnks mate. I wasn’t too disappointed as it was a really fun race. Maybe I’d have been a bit annoyed if I’d have picked up damage and got a DNF 🤣
What a realy intense Race. I think He rejoined unsafe from offtrack, He would get in RL a Penalty for this move. This sucks. But as always great Race and commentary.
Yeah, I’ve always believed that you surrender the right to fight for the position if you run off track yourself, and should rejoin behind the guys you’re battling with. But I wish I’d anticipated the rejoin and hung it out a bit wider… that way I’d have got 8th. Still, can’t grumble too much, it was an enjoyable race! Thanks for watching 😃
Hi Chris, thanks for the Hockenheimring insight! I was really looking forward to take part there in some races. But the driving standards with a huge amount of punts (up to Barrier's retaliation) and dive bombs does not look promising to me. And honestly man, you left plenty of room after the off track of weblauser who in my opinion can not dive back into the corner like that and take the place behind Steen where you were. Quite dirty move of weblauser.
Cheers Joe, yeah I tried not to be too critical of the rejoin in the video, but I always believe that you surrender the right to fight for the position when you’ve run off track by your own doing. But I still think I made the wrong call… although I shouldn’t be obliged to leave any space, I probably should have done… just to protect myself, more than anything. I forgot how easy it is to lose control of these cars with a bit of contact - they’re not as sturdy as the m235i or the NSU! Hope you have better luck when you try it 🤞
This doesn't make me eager to go back to RaceRoom. It feels more like a bunch of kids going for every gap than a race. While I enjoy your commentary, I'm glad that I wasn't in that race 😉 Perhaps I'll see you on LFM!
Ha yeah it was a very rare outing in RaceRoom for me, this one. I’m enjoying LFM so much lately, I’m not really looking to race too much else. Done the rF2 LFM race this afternoon and will be hitting ACC later this week 👍
Wy...he löst one Place and was back on track infront. This was normal raceaccidant. Other good ranking Players just drive intoniert back of other driver infront....
Oh I just love raceroom
MY first time seeing this channel and I was not expecting this pro level kind of commentary that was some A entertainment
Thank you mate, happy to hear you’ve enjoyed it and welcome to the channel 😃
You know what I like about you? You drive consciously, I appreciate that! Thank you for your coverage 🙂

@@chrisrogerssimracing I disagree Chris. That guy was driving aggressive and didn't re-enter the track safely.
@@BOTRacing Thanks Adam, yeah I agree it wasn’t the safest rejoin. But I wished I’d read the situation better… he’d been a bit erratic at times, so I probably should have guessed that he’d try to squeeze back on!
Good run there Chris! The Audi rejoin was a crap move, he was the one that should have left you space as he was off track! Thanks for sharing Buddy!!!
Thanks Walt, yeah I felt the same. I always believe that you give up your right to fight for the position if you run off track, and should rejoin behind the cars you’re battling with. But on this occasion I wish I’d left the space, as I’d still have finished 8th if I had done! Cheers for watching!

6:02 "And we have lost Nuts!"
Don't know why this line cracks me up so much. xD
Oh man! Really nice to be racing with you, didn't even notice until now. Keep up the good work mate, you will be fighting for top 3 in no time :)
Nice one, congrats on the second place! That’s some impressive pace, dunno how you manage to get in the 1.48s! Can’t see me ever being that quick! 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracing well, one and a half year ago i was in your shoes as well, but hard work paid off! Don't let yourself down and you will succeed❤
Great racing! Hearing you say "Bachayedu" with such enthusiasm was pretty funny, though, because it's not a real name. It just means "watch out, I'm driving" in Czech (bacha jedu)
Haha really?! 🤣 Well I never knew that. And funnily enough, I’ve just this minute finished editing a new RaceRoom video which also stars Bachayedu! 🤣
Still working my way through your back library, really felt your pain when you were unceremoniously taken out, you're remarkably calm under duress.
Haha I try to stay calm, but it doesn’t always work! I very rarely get angry, but I do take it to heart sometimes and it puts me off racing for a bit. Usually I find a taking a few days or a week’s break gets my enthusiasm back though 😃
Wondered what happened to you, that was my best race all weekend the rest were like banger racing! Great commentary as always
Yeah, I hope you waved when you went by! Congrats on the finish, this was the only race I did and it was pretty rough!
Great race fun to watch!
Thank you mate, cheers for watching!
I feel for you! A great race nonetheless.
Yeah that’s the way it goes sometimes! I wasn’t too disappointed in the end, still a really fun race
Great race great viewing 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Graham, appreciate the support as always 😃
Oh man just to think how many options as a simracers we got! Acc, raceroom and now rf2 lfm support, it's just crazy.
And finally they brought gt4s back on schedule.
Haha yeah there’s loads of choice at the moment, which is fantastic!
Raceroom is the goat!
Does anyone know the overlay used here? If Chris Rogers can help that would be highly appreciated.

@@chrisrogerssimracing I will look forward to watching it.
Man that last move was a shame. I head that if you are off track than you give the position...

whats the name of the hud? my otterhud looks different
Yes, it’s Otterhud mate. I just switch off the usual race standings and use the TV tower instead. Plus a little relative board bottom left 👍

Very poor rejoin by the Audi, unfair to you completely.
