i like how texas, widely considered one of, if not the, worst ovals on the nascar schedule, managed to be daves favorite haha
I used to love Texas...then they reconfigured it and ruined it. Turn one is so dumb. "Let's make it a mile and a half wide, and take away banking. That'll work!" It's also impossible to set up for because the turns are so different. If you're perfectly comfortable in T1-2, you're loose as hell in 3 & 4. If you set up for 3 & 4, you push like crazy in 1 & 2.
It can be fun to drive, but racing there is a joke
c fixed on iracing is a fun time. I have not finished below top 3
Fr it's so ass. Then again it's somewhat fun in the trucks because of how little you lift in those. Short tracks are my forte. I want to see Dave run Bristol so bad.
I find oval racing more mentally challenging than road racing, simply because you rarely get a chance to relax.
You're *racing* a lot more in ovals, whereas road is more often than not 5 minutes of racing, 40 minutes of just hitting your marks
It’s so fucking stressful lol
Lower line tends to burn off the right front while higher lines will burn off the right rear more. Its a balancing act through long runs. Helps to lift a little earlier if you have understeer on worn tires. Love the unexpected Oval appearance!!
I don't understand the Texas hate either. It's a lot of fun! Or at least it is on iRacing where tires don't blow up for, like, no reason. One thing I noticed is that you're using the clutch to go up the gears on your restarts. You don't need to do that, even in the real thing. Just blip the throttle and pop it into the next gear and you'll be a little faster. It seemed like on every single restart the guy behind you was able to poke his nose to your inside before the first corner. The only time you need the clutch, assuming you aren't using any assists, is when you're coming to a complete stop in the pits.
Great race Dave, you should race oval more often!
The dude in the longhorns truck had himself a time
Great race Dave. Texas is one of my favorite tracks when I do race ovals.
Looks like the biggest winner was actually P4, Roberto Carlos Huerta with a gain of 70 :)
that orange truck was in every caution lol
Good result. I did a race on this track in the league I am in with the 1987 cars. It is tough in those as you really have to brake going in to turn 1 and then back off the throttle more into 3 as they don't turn as good.
You got the biggest winner wrong though. Roberto Huerta gained +70 and finished 1 spot in front of the guy you said gained +58.
I'd love to see you tackle Martinsville when the cup/Xfinity series is next there. That's an experience!
Aah yes. The road course
With only left turns. A delightful disaster waiting to happen and I eagerly look forward to it
I’ve not driven it since the NASCAR 2003 days but so tough to keep the rhythm going at Martinsville. Texas is easy compared to that. My favourite was always Darlington, looks so wide but so narrow.
End of October they’ll be there. I’ll be there as well. Really looking forward to that race, definitely going to be a interesting one.
Favorite Video Dave! Love to see you run the ovals! Awesome Job!!
I used to think the way you said in the intro until I started trying ovals in AC with friends and oh boy .010 seconds just does you dirty after 50 laps. I just don't have the stomach for it, but it sure made me understand how much more difficult it is than it looks.
Nice job Dave, Love when you hit the ovals!
man, oval is great. im mainly a road racer but some days i warm up with a few good oval races. i dont know what im doing either but its great fun.
Good race Dave. Love watching you run ovals
I was the #20 in this race. i entered a bit higher into 1 on a restart, the 18 was on the outside and someone had the bright idea to make it 3 wide. I moved a bit up, the 18 turned down and voila :) Now i see you smashed a car into me :D
Great video, loved the crash replays during the race 👌
I'm Belgian, never seen a nascar race in my life and then I tried out ovalracing in iracing and today I work for fox sports and their Nascar broadcast... In roadracing you race the track, in Nascar you race the field
I used to like driving on ovals. Was never super competitive but it was good as a kind of arrive and drive series. I'd just hang at the back until the last QTR then give it a crack for the top 10.
While Texas is not the best track for a spectator anymore, it is my favorite track to drive on Iracing. Dave, you need to hug the white line in one and two to be fast.
Great race Dave!! Making oval racing look like a lot of fun! 👍🏼👍🏼 Having been to two cup races at Texas I can confirm it is very exciting watch in person 🏁
Slightly overdriving turn 1 entry- based on how I drive Texas anyway, but you did great not being a daily nascar driver. I usually run the bottom at the beginning and as the race goes on I take turn 1 a little higher up to put more stress on the right rear and give the right front a break.
Good racing with you at Dega this week Dave 👍
You should try some of the tighter flat short tracks like New Hampshire, Indianapolis Raceway Park, or Martinsville. The racing is intense, and much closer to a true oval experience than these big cookie cutter speedways.
Yes, nice one Mick. I've enjoyed this week. 😁
I just started the ovals, the street stock, there a lot of fun and quite intense, just got d licence 😎
I remember when the Truck Series started. It was originally planned to only race them on short tracks, 1/2 mile and shorter. That didn't last lol
Love to see this!
I money shifted my new c7 z06. Luckily got clutch in right away and didn't hurt anything. Hit about 7700 rpm for .25 seconds
Great race. Dangerous dave dodging the pileup =)
All my exes live in Texas...
Top10, good job!
Two rights, no Sunoco and no adjustments will do ;)
I always struggle with entry turn1. Not so much with the truck, cos she's very forgiven but the xfinity car.
Brake bias and brakes are just as important in oval as road. Look into it or I can tag a couple videos if you're having trouble finding info. It will do wonders for your time and tires.
Post links here if you can .. thanks
ive been tinkering with trail braking on turn entry and if done right lets you carry speed at entry to 1 thru apex...helps get rotation quicker
Great race Dave. Just wondering have you ever done the Bristol night race in the trucks. Great fun!
Thanks Mike. No I don't believe I have
this week texas was wild best i could do was 6th lol tough track and yes the nascar series trucks xfinity and cup were all pretty wild
That was awesome. Good stuff. Maybe someday I'll go back to iRacing instead of watching you! Thanks for the content.
I really like Texas, got my second A Class win on the Next Gen car. Turn 1 is such a fun challenge.
Good run Dave, the old turn left racing is pretty intense isn’t it 😂
Oval racing is like roulette. keep playing and hope you get lucky
That’s literally every sport ever
@@mauricebarry8858 lmao. no, mpst sports are based on a skill and performing it without mistake. oval racing is based on being lucky when someone else's skills run out
@@veryrare7647 so.. there are 0 mistakes in f1?
@@veryrare7647 also, in basketball, football (american or european) its just skill and performing? also im pretty sure it takes skill to capitalize on others mistkaes.. correct me if im wrong.
Damage is a death sentence in the trucks
Hey Dave! Will you be doing a POV video soon? Love watching those!!
If you’re looking for fun ovals, Homestead-Miami, the old configuration of Atlanta and Auto Club are my top three tracks that take a little bit of skill aka aren’t Daytona/Talladega/new Atlanta/iRacing SS.
Trucks maybe not so much but definitely those tracks with the NEXT Gen and Xfinity cars
Thanks Justin 😁
Good racing Dave.
I know nothing about oval racing, but then again there are times I think I know nothing about racing of any kind. 😂
Keep it up.
Same here Doug. I just bluff my way through 😁
Julie made me work hard on Monday night I can tell you, we had a great battle.
She's doing great. 👍
Good finish Dave😊👍
I discover more and more my love for ovals but its hard for me to improve and get better. Where is a good 😊lace to get tipps&tricks ob yt?? Thx
Hey Dave… or anyone, I have a Podium DD as well and I was wondering if you have a fanalab setup for the truck series or nascar or ARCA cars? I haven’t been able to find something I like. Let me know!
If you’re able too, give Dover a try. I think you’d like that track.
Dover will be on the schedule in a few weeks. Good suggestion!
The old Texas was much better but I still enjoy the new layout.
Hi Dave, love the videos. Just after your opinion as I see you use one, Ive only played ACC for last couple of years but recently getting into nascar, I've a got a Fanatec dd but with a formula v2, would you recommend the Nascar rim ?
Cheers, and keep up the great work !
Yes the nascar rim is great. I seem to have much better control with a larger wheel 👍
Texas was good ro me last week. I think we found our new favorite track.
How do you choose not to qualify, do you just click ready to race (or whatever it says) when the qualifying starts?
I've found myself qualifying around 5th most road races (rookie / D license) and every single time i get smashed out of the way in the first lap by some absolute idiot. I am a rookie myself, and certainly not perfect, but i do take the time to practise each course before joining a race, but no matter how clean i race, somebody always just punts me out of the way and i end up back of the pack chasing them anyways.....Either with damage or needing to pit.
I figure i'd probably have an easier race just starting from the back and let the idiots wipe each other out first.
sorry if this is a stupid question,...i notice that the Safety Ratings show as blue, green or yellow. in this race , i see same safety ratings in different colors...how does that work?
The color is for the license class. A is blue, B is green, and C is yellow. Since it's a C class series no one lower than that can join, but if they could you'd see Orange for D and Red for Rookie.
Hello Dave I see in the video that you you have two windows open at the same time looks like relative and standings. Is that correct? Can you please tell me how to do that and was that the Texas motor Speedway Legacy track
Yes, that's the Racelab overlay 👍
Racelab.app
@@davecamyt thank you buddy for your time best part about it is it’s free SiMLAB lol
Iracing only sim that makes ones bum clinch 💯
People say Texas Motor Speedway sucks, I disagree. It's fun tight racing. I ran C fixed twice this week.1st race I got pole as the #12, led 38 laps, missed the entry turn 1 lap 38, had to lift to not smack wall onto the backstretch, finished P2, only 1 caution. 2nd race, Q P4 as the # 20, fished P9 all green.
there's a reason basically every IRL driver hates it too. it's just been made so badly
When people say texas sucks they're talking about real life, the organizers change the track in 2017 trying to improve the Nascar races and every year kept putting traction product on the asfalt, they did too much and now the asphalt is destroyed, there's 4 lines in turn 1 and only the inside line has grip, the races have been terrible because drivers can't properly race, especially in indycar
I highly enjoyed the trucks here but the faster nascars, no joy at all.
but dave you seem to understand the basics of ovals. each vid you do shows it, I'm an oval specialist man.
Yes I kinda get the basics, but lucky dogs, gwc, how to actually drive the track I struggle with
@@davecamyt just keep doin what you do. That's all there is to it man, keep it outta the wall a little more and you're 99 percent there.
out of curiosity, what wheel base do you use ?
I use a Simucube 2 Pro 👍
3rd that's me
Sooo you’ve picked the worst possible oval as your favorite?😳
The truck racing is still pretty damn good so I get what you’re coming from here Dave! Also, I think when you’re running at a high speed track like this with high baking, the key to saving tires isn’t to get out as wide as possible, you were actually making the tiered worse running out there in 1 and 2 I think because you ran the car in too deep!
Need to start working on a Deep South accent and start learning the Banjo, Dave. Just try not to Squeal ;)
1st 😁
this is possibly the worst oval on the service
You know what they say about opinions…. They are like assholes, everyone has one.
2nd
I cant stand driver to driver coms on iracing, muteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
