rFactor 2 | Sim Racing at its ABSOLUTE Best! LFM BTCC @ Oulton Park
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Well, if ever I needed a sensational sim race to lift my spirits, this was the week. Today’s Low Fuel Motorsport BTCC race in rFactor 2 is an instant classic. Dramatic, intense, aggressive - even I get fired up and drive aggressively which, as regular viewers will know, is most unlike me!
Now, this race has it all. I’m not gonna lie, there are some rough moments in there too and apologies were issued - one in particular costs me BIG TIME, which might just explain why my aggression levels were so high!
So make a brew, get comfy and enjoy what might just be my greatest ever sim race…

Who needs coffee in the morning when Chris is here with his jolting, seat-squirming, near-heart-attack racing videos 😂Another good one for the books!
Haha! Thank you mate. Yeah this will probably go down as one of the louder ones 🤣
Mate, you set the gold standard for sim racing videos. Keep up the great work!
Ahhh thank you mate, that’s very kind of you to say! Cheers for tuning in 😃
Fully agree, I watch a fair bit of sim racing but Chris is the one I really look forward to watching, I just love his commentary, he really brings it to life!
Nice racing Chris. I liked how Clain did the right thing after being shunted by Kayz and slowly snoughploughed him off the track to stop another over-ambitious rejoin - after he'd already taken another one too in the same incident 😂 More RF2 content from you gets my vote please - that was great!
Haha yeah good spot! Can only imagine the words being shouted from his cockpit after that incident 🤣 think this’ll be my go-to series at the moment, so much fun
This guy is the best!! All hail Chris Rogers!!!
Haha you’re too kind! 🤣🤣
That was awesome Chris! The Cupra’s tactics were a bit ‘90s BTCC’ and Im pretty sure he’d have a trip to the bus after the race for doing that as blatantly these days. That said, what a fantastic race to watch and you’re commentary as always was the cherry on the top!
He certainly chose the right person to pick on… I’m all over the place as soon as I get rattled like that 🤣 I don’t know how most guys just brush it off and carry on racing as normal, just insanely good levels of concentration. It was quite satisfying to see them crash out later (although I’m sure the guy right in front of me doesn’t agree) 🤣
Ah man this was so good! Fantastic racing, absolutely typical of BTCC!! And fantastic edit and commentary as ever. I’ll definitely be trying this myself some point soon!
Great drive Chris. And so nice to see you back on RF2 in the BTCC :)...I love RF2 as you know, but like yourself i get such little time to get on and race. BTW, I loved the near death experiance with that 2 wheeled stunt you performed :) Nice to see your enthusiasm has returned.
Thank you Nick, this BTCC racing has been brilliant lately and I have you to thank for getting me on the grid for it. Also really encouraging to see participation increasing again… think there were nearly 50 sign-ups for this race the other night.
What a great race. I really enjoy your RF2 races. Thanks for making the video.
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for watching 😃
working my way through your catalogue.
Again, the editing and commentary are perfect!
**chef's kiss**
Thanks for the content.
Ahh you legend, thanks for watching so many! There us plenty of variety in the back catalogue!
The guy took Push to Pass the wrong way, more like Punt to Pass. That nudge before last corner to get ahead of you was definitely naughty!
Haha good to know I’m not the only one who thought so! I’m fairly new to touring car racing, so I wondered if it was just the done thing. But all those taps had me properly rattled. I’d be terrible in NASCAR racing 🤣
Top race Chris! Really had everything. A real lesson to hang in there no matter what. Well done mate 👏
Ahh thank you, yeah it came at the perfect time, this race. I knew there was a cracker out there, but I was just starting to doubt if I’d ever find it!
Brilliant my friend, full of all the emotions that we experience in our sport, over the moon you're finally back enjoying yourself and the racing..👏
Thanks Tony, it’s taken a while to get there!!
Awesome driving, editing and commentary. I’m getting back into sim racing and searched “RF2 Game Play”. This vid popped up and convinced me to buy the game! I actually had the very first RF when there were no licensed cars or tracks. Good to see what a fantastic game it turned out to be. Your racing and vids are fun to watch, I’m hooked 👍🏾👍🏾
Ahhh thank you mate, I’m glad my video helped inspire you to give it another try. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done an rf2 race so I’ll definitely be hopping back in over Christmas. Hope you find some good races!
What a rollercoaster, thanks for sharing this exciting race!
My pleasure, it was equally fun making the video as it was to race in!
My goodness its just like watching a live BTCC race. Great commentary 100% world class and great racing
Great to see you back enjoying your racing and doing wonders for BTCC LFM. Hopefully see you on track soon!
Cheers mate, yeah would be good to see you out there. Already looking forward to breaking my wrists on the Norisring bumps next week 🤣
Great to see you back having fun with sim racing my friend. Another incredible video!
Thank you John, yeah it’s a relief to have some fun again!
Awesome race Chris with excellent commentary as usual. Shame about the contact and damage but well played for carrying on and making a decent comeback. Keep up the great work. 👊🏻
Thank you mate! Cheers for watching
lovely cup of tea as part of the intro
If I could sim race as well as I made cups of tea, I’d have a 5k rating!
First time I've seen your channel and that was a lot fun. In future when people ask me why I like sim racing I'm gonna show them this! It's like a TV broadcast with the replays and the commentary, great work my man.
Ahhh man, that’s very kind of you to say! Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel 😃
Great race Chris things looking good again for you, great aggression after the crash more of that mate and things can only get better 😁
Thank you Roy!
Great watch Chris.
Some nasty rejoining of that car. First time that Rokit BMW was victim as well. Later that other car. You were lucky there.
Some need to take their loss when going wide.
You were on it. Shame about that punt.
Love this track.
It’s a dream combo, I loved it. That part of the grass is a nightmare to run wide on. The only way to avoid a crazy rejoin is to deliberately drive into the barrier to stop yourself. Clearly this guy wasn’t prepared to sacrifice himself 🤣
I just got into BTCC this week, bought the Honda. I love the race, best race of any sim. For anyone thinking of joining, you wont regret it
Nice one! Hopefully I’ll see you on track soon!
That was awesome to watch!! Great race with some good battles!
Wouldn't feel too sad for Theo Gomez, he spent most of the Oulton Park week ramming people deliberately and now has a 10 year ban :)
Yeah I saw that in the Discord! Looks like I had a lucky escape, getting my race in early before all that behaviour kicked off. Not good at all, great to see some strict punishments being handed out 😃
He'll just start up again under a different name
I think LFM ban is join to ip adress, but yeah Nice to see real and fast punishment for stupid people
Jason Plato came to mind with the bump 'n pass tactics! Great racing Chris. I really enjoyed that, not least because I didn't have to handle all that stress of actually driving it. Keep them coming, Chris.
Haha nice one, glad you enjoyed it mate 😃
Comeback worthy of Lazarus. You were definitely in the zone on the last few laps, epic stuff!!Plus super clean passing, almost Tom Ingram esq!!!!😅
Hahaha thank you! 🤣
Fantastic race. Nice to see the aggression too. Well done Chris!
Thank you Andy!
Always great racing at Oulton Park what a great track! I love the two wheel technique Chris! Great race buddy lots of action.
Thanks Bill, yeah I channeled my inner Bo Duke a bit there. Always worked for the Dukes when they were trying to shake off Rosco and Boss Hogg 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracing LOL! I think you were showing off for Daisy!
I recently discovered Chris's channel and it's amazing, the energy he has and the fun he has playing Sim racing
Ahh thank you mate, and welcome to the channel!
Fantastic racing Chris....isn't it amazing how things can turn around in a race and in general racing.....I'll will have to try online racing in RF2....it's looking good...Hearty congrats Chris..well done...
The margins are so fine, aren’t they! Like, if that guy had rejoined just a couple of inches further to the right on lap 1, my race would have been over. I imagine the video wouldn’t have been quite so upbeat if that had happened 🤣 cracking series though, I’d recommend giving it a try.
I just Subscribed after watching this... Great race, Great battle. Shame you got punted off to lose 5th place, but well done for coming back. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ahhh thank you mate, and welcome to the channel! Plenty more rF2 BTCC racing planned for the coming weeks!
Excellent video. Excellent commentating. Subbed! Chris should be a real race broadcast commentator (if he's not). FANTASTIC!
Ahh thank you for the sub mate, and welcome to the channel!
Epic race. That had everything. Glad to see you enjoying your simracing after the last few races which you found a bit frustrating.
Thank you mate, yeah this race couldn’t have come at a better time. I knew there was a great race out there, but I was starting to doubt whether I’d ever find it!
Great race Chris. Love your commentary. Keep it up mate! 😊
Thank you mate! Really kind of you to say, glad you enjoyed it 😃
1st time checking out your videos... Keep it up. Loved watching with the live commentary. Great race. I'll be back to watch more and hope to race you on track
Hey, thanks for watching and getting in touch. Welcome to the channel! Definitely more rF2 on the way, it’s my favourite series at the moment! Cheers, hopefully see you on a grid soon!
Time to give BTCC a go. 🏎️💨
Based on my recent experiences, I can fully recommend it! Can be a bit rough out there, but I guess that’s the nature of touring car racing. The cars can take a fair bit of bumping without it resulting in instant wipeout, so that’s really good too.
Great race and commentary! If only we had such good commentary in our league!
Ahh thank you mate 😃
Great Racing Chris unlucky love the commentry
Thank you mate! Cheers for watching
breathtaking!
Entertaining as always Chris, great racing.
Cheers Del! Thanks for watching mate
Well driven Chris! Too bad you got punted out there, but great recovery afterwards!
Thank you Lorenzo, yeah there were no hard feelings about the crash - it just added to the drama of the race! Was great to finally find a cracker… I knew it was out there somewhere!
Ahhh Kayz in the Cupra with the 'Jason Plato' technique 😅
Haha yeah, it terrified me! I always lose my concentration when the nudges start coming 🤣
Two wheels!!! Nice recovery - great race.
Just got distracted for a moment, thinking I was Bo Duke trying to shake off Rosco and Boss Hogg!
Amazing race.
The bumping "technique" that Kayz employs is just dirty driving in my book, though
Yeah, it was a little rough for my liking. I get that touring cars involve a bit of bumping, but following me onto the defensive line and still doing it seemed a bit excessive! Took me several laps to regain my composure after that 🤣
Great racing, great video Chris.
Thank you mate!
Oulton always delivers! Sad to see how you got punted out, but good to see your recovery after! Good job Chris!
And I hope that Kayz gets reported! His punt to pass in the braking zone of the last corner was a very dirty move against you (Push to pass but on another level...). And his huge wrecking some laps later in the hairpin was unbelievable!
Yeah that hairpin thing was crazy. I mean, its a horrible place to run onto the grass… you have two choices… either drive into the barrier, or slide onto the track to try and save yourself and risk wrecking others. He chose the selfish option! Having seen him do it already on lap 1, I knew the sensible thing was to hang back a bit when I saw him do it again. Cheers mate
@@chrisrogerssimracinghe chose the I don't care about anyone option, even if you some how excuse the option to cross the live track he then just trys to smash through everyone to get going. Anyway this is some of the best SIM race commentary I've seen, well done, I'm subbed 👍
Absolutely Superb!
Such a shame the 'bump pass' for P4.
Great race!!!😉👍
Cheers mate, yeah I just can’t help but get rattled by those bumps. There’s no way I’d cope with NASCAR racing 🤣
🤣
I forgot how much fun touring cars were. Think I'm done with Valencia GT3 for this week after my 2nd last night. And I love Oulton. So, perfect combo. You're getting faster as well, by the looks of things. Agression's a problem for me as well. Jim got a bit annoyed with me last night being stuck behind the leader and told me to "just send it." Moments before the guy in 3rd did and caused a collision. "That, Jim, is why I don't."
Yeah I skipped Valencia, just because I don’t know the track and didn’t want to use up free time learning it. This BTCC series is great fun at the moment though. I think I’m a bit quicker in it because I recently raced a community series in the same car for 6 weeks, so I’m a bit more familiar with it, and confident to attack. Good luck, if you give it a try this weekend. Oh, one other thing… I mentioned last week that I hadn’t had any stutter problems in rf2 lately. Well I did with this race, big stutters. So I dialled down the graphics settings to medium for things like shadows, track details etc, and that made it much more stable.
@@chrisrogerssimracing That's the excuse the guy who collided with me gave after the race. Stutter. 😂I hadn't driven around Valencia before this week either. First race went as well as expected. But I'd got some idea by the second race and finished 5th but my God there was a lot of door banging. But then again, I get a chance to have at least one race most nights. I haven't played RF2 since the GPU upgrade so I'll give it a go over the weekend.
Awesome video and race mate 👍
Thank you mate!
Awesome job Chris! What a drive!
And loosing your composure a bit after the william incidents is completly okay. It seems like he perfected the punt to pass and doesnt care about sportsmanship. It kinda looked planned to punt you off...
After the crash you showed how to overtake! what a drive!
Thank you Jerry 😃 I think it’s probably one of my best drives. As you’ll know from watching lots of my old videos, I’m not usually the most attacking of drivers! So it felt pretty damn good to get properly stuck in, and do it safely (with a couple of near misses!)
This guy is amazing
Ahh thank you man, appreciate the kind words 😃
Great race, dude!
Thank you! Cheers for watching 😃
You are a brilliant Commentator 👏
Ahh thank you mate, that’s very kind of you to say 😃
Very good race Chris
Thank you mate, cheers for watching
Great race, Drama packed. Well done!
Thank you mate! Cheers for watching 😃
That was Nice!!
BTCC, tick... Britsh track, tick... fFactor, tick... and Chris Rogers back on form, tick... does it get any better?
good racing, sorry u got run off but ya it happens. but really engaging race to watch..
Yeah it was a shame but it wasn’t a problem, it didn’t take away any enjoyment levels from the race. I’ve got no problem at all if it’s just someone who’s made an honest mistake in the heat of battle, and hit me accidentally. Compared to my last ACC video, where you have someone deliberately spinning me around so they can gain a position - that’s what gets me annoyed 🤣
Nice
Mate...You should be a motorsport commentator!! Bet your neighbours luv you 😲
Haha yeah, I have to keep all the windows shut when I’m making a video 🤣
Edge of the seat racing made better with top notch commentary!
Ahh thank you mate, glad you enjoyed it!
👍👏
they just sent me the video, we had a great battle, too bad it didn't last longer
Nice to meet you on track mate! Yeah it was a great battle, hopefully we’ll be on another grid soon!
Great commentry, you should be doing commentary on real races also
Fantastic action Chris. Im about to start the British Virtual Touring Car championship using the Toyota. Is LFM still a good source for racing like this?
Thank you. LFM has dropped rF2 now, so for online BTCC you’d need to use the rF2 in-game multiplayer… however it takes a while to gain the licence to qualify for it. I’ve done several rookie races but am still nowhere near getting the licence to do BTCC races. LFM is now running AC instead with classic touring cars using the VRC paid mods, which I’ve just started doing.
Great racing. Is this BTCC race included in the rFactor 2 basic game on Steam? Thanks.
Hi Steve. Unfortunately not. It is an additional DLC pack. There is a BTCC car pack, and also a British track pack (Donington, Brands, Thruxton and Croft if I remember rightly). Been a long time since I used rF2, but seem to remember the two packs costing around £20 for the pair on Steam. That was a while ago when they first came out… might be a bit cheaper now!
@@chrisrogerssimracing Many thanks for the info, very helpful.
Subbed ❤
Yes! Great to hear, welcome to the channel and thank you for joining. Hope you enjoy the upcoming videos 😃
Apologies, I seem to have landed on the wrong channel, was looking for Chris Rogers, is he about?
Haha, well I inserted the obligatory mid-race wreck so you knew it was still me 😉 But the SCB mini series helped me out massively with driving these cars… gave me a lot more track time to get used to it, unlike the other series I hop in and out of.
You have to thrash them, which goes against my entire thinking but once your brain acclimatises they are so much fun. GT3's start next week, they are much the same, to get the most you must live on the edge. Great video though, shows rF2 at it's best, didn't do your standing any harm either, bit more aggression and suddenly you're racing! Bravo!!@@chrisrogerssimracing
Where do i get this amazing Tire temperature overlay? Or whats the name of it to find?
The tyre temperature is part of the rF2 HUD. You just have to set a button for Display Mode in Controls, then that button will cycle through all the different boxes in the MFD 👍
Your commentary is good. Have you done this live yet?
Thank you mate, no it’s purely a hobby for my sim racing channel 😃
@chrisrogerssimracing you should ask around dude. You'd be good at it. I know Apex Online Racing were advertising not so long back for example.
@@boosivemotorsportofficial Cheers yeah I’ve had a couple of invites, my main problem is time. I only get online a couple times a week for sim racing, so it’s difficult to commit to it at the moment.
I did this race earlier and was wondering why I was so far off pace…did not realize these cars had p2p! 😅
Does anyone know if you can do quali or race on soft tires in LFM?
Haha, exactly the same as me last week! A few viewers commented that I wasn’t using it! So I remembered this week 🤣 map the P2P button, and you have keep the button pressed down for it to work. I started by pushing it once to switch it on, and that didn’t do anything. As for tyres, it depends on the track. Oulton this week, softs are available. But other tracks tougher on tyre wear, like Donington last week or Thruxton, the lowest you can go is mediums 👍
That Kayn is really a dirty driver, i hope never meet him on track
I think William pushed you on purpose dirty driver tactics cause you where not breaking but he still bumped you knowing there’s a bend coming up @ the 6:50/7:10 on this vid
Yeah it did look like a tried and tested tactic, that one. I was a little bit disappointed with it. But enjoyed passing him back later when he crashed out 🤣
@@chrisrogerssimracing yeah I laughed at it 🤣 servers him right… you should have sang “how you like me now”(storks movie version) 🤣🤣🤣
Do you know how to disable the names of the drivers on top of the cars in Rfactor 2?
Hi, yes, when you’re in the race, just press TAB - that’s the default keyboard button for toggling names on and off 👍
How to disable the hud that attaches to the front of the steering wheel in rfactor 2?
I think it’s the 5 button. Buttons 3-6 all toggle different parts of the HUD on or off. If in doubt, go to Settings > Assign Controls > UI & Chat and you can set the buttons there
I don't remember how to play night races in RFACOTR 2, can you help me?
Hi.
Always question myself whats the point using this high tone voice to describe the race. It's on TV and here on utube. Don't understand. Have to cancel audio all the time. I wish could hear a calm voice describing what is going on. It's just me? Thanks😊
👍😋😋💪😊💯
Up early this morning! 👏
@@chrisrogerssimracing just working and lurking :)
How much money am i looking at for touring car packs with brithish tracks for r factor ?
The good news is, you no longer have to own all the cars to race against them online in rF2. That was a crazy rule, glad they ditched it! So you could just buy one BTCC car on its own for around £4 (or buy a BTCC car pack for around £8 which gives you a selection). As for the tracks, I bought the British Track Pack which was £17. Individual tracks are £8 so it makes sense to get the pack. So in summary, around £21 would get you one car and the full track pack. Occasionally you’ll find rf2 sales in the Steam store too, although I don’t think there are any on at the moment.
Cheers chris you got me into raceroom and possibly r factor next great racing btw !
@@BlessDD89 Ahhh nice one! rFactor 2 is fantastic when it’s on form. It can be a bit unstable, with the odd server blip or screen stutter. I had to dial down my graphics settings for this race, as was getting a lot of stutters. BTCC participation on LFM is starting to climb again now, at peak times, so it’s a good time to try it out!
The total btcc pack is intresting, 30£ u have 8 cars and 3 tracks, less than 3£ for an item, it’s totaly worth it
Is it just me or do the driver hands look like cartoons hand
Why do you scream so much all the time?!
Great stuff Chris.
👍 Good stuff. Entertaining as always :)
