- Welcome back to Assetto Corsa Competizione on Low Fuel Motorsport, and boy have I got a race in store for you today!
It’s the Coach Dave GT3 Sprint at Brands Hatch, and I’m starting down in P14. BUT I’m not far off the pace at all… my qualifying time of 1.25.3 is just one second off pole position. That’s the closest I’ve ever been!
Last time out I finished 7th. Can I improve on that today? Can I challenge for my first ever LFM podium? Stay tuned… you won’t wanna miss this one!

Nicely done Chris! Too bad on the rejoin... some people don't accept that they screwed up and now are obligated to rejoin SAFELY, even if that means giving up more positions. All in all though, can't be mad about that result! :) Congrats!
Thank you! Yeah, I wouldn’t have finished 3rd had he not spun out, and luckily the rejoin didn’t cost me in the end. It just made the final few laps a bit more stressful than they needed to be… but that only made it more sweet when I crossed the line!
they don't accept lol
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Great job, well done!
Thank you Mark, really appreciate that. Thanks for tuning in 😃
Excellent race...all about carrying on to the bitter end...your enthusiastic commentary helped convey the excitement throughout....well done Chris.... Nailbiting end....
Thank you Peter, yeah all about carrying on and keeping it steady. Gained 11 places and didn’t need to make an overtake 🤣
That was a great race Chris! Seeing your name on the relative pushed me to my first victory on acc. I hope we'll have many more podiums together!
Hey Fabian, congratulations on the first win! You did brilliantly to stay fast and safe, while everybody else around was going crazy! Hopefully see you on the grid again soon. If I can get closer to you, I’ll be chasing!
As per usual another 5 Star video Chris..Congrats on that podium, well deserved and was great to watch..Top man 👍
Thank you Nick! It’s been a long time coming, that podium. Next goal is to try and match it on rF2 🤞
Wow, great race there Chris!!!! Your climbing the ladder, another podium!!! Fantastic! Congrats, thanks for sharing with us!!!!
Thank you Walt, I got a fair bit of luck in this one! But I felt I was due some good fortune!
So very happy for you, your perseverance paid off.👏👍
Thank you my friend. A classic example of how you can gain 11 positions without needing to make an overtake 🤣
Congratulations Chris!!! Great race, good luck and an exciting finish all wrapped up in your first-ever podium on LFM. Yay!!!!
Thank you Dave! Felt like I earned a beer after this one 🤣
I feel proud of you...Well done, a great race and a deserved podium.
Haha thank you! The podium has been a long time coming. Next I’ve gotta try and win one 🤣
Awesome stuff Chris - Great race & great vid!
Thank you! Cheers for tuning in 😃
Just stumbled on your channel yesterday, you’re doing a brilliant job not only in your driving but more importantly, how you narrate your races, bringing excitement, enthusiasm and so much passion - think I’m hooked 😂
Brilliant! Welcome to the channel, there’s plenty in the back catalogue on here now! Thanks for watching, and enjoy 😃
@@chrisrogerssimracing good to know, loving your ACC content btw - surprised you haven’t got 100k subs going by the quality of your videos!
Brilliant, brilliant.
Love the way you are commentating through the race, makes a 'normal' race, exciting, interesting.......fantastic to watch!!
Thank you mate, glad you enjoyed watching!
Congratulations. Well deserved.
Smart bringing it home after the contact.
Cheers
Thank you mate! It’s been a long time coming, that podium!
Awesome racing man :) enjoyed watching your climb into podium
Thank you mate, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers for watching 😃
Great race, Chris congrats on a great race and a great finish!
Thank you Bill, I’ve been due some good luck for a while… and I got it all here!
Great race! Really enjoyed the video and your enthusiasm. It's contagious
Thank you Erick! The enthusiasm levels were dialled up a notch further than usual for this one 🤣 Cheers for watching mate
Like I was watching the bloody horse's Nice Run!
Good drive dude!! As always great commentary...keep on shouting as love your energy 😎
Haha yeah this one was probably even louder than my usual. Which is saying something! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated 😃
Nice one Chris. Well held on for final few laps. 🔥🔥
Thank you Stu! Think I timed it just right entering this race… originally Laguna was on this week’s schedule, but the server was crashing so they’d literally just switched to Brands when I entered. Clearly all the entrants had been practicing hard for Laguna, judging by how many people were making mistakes 🤣
Wow! Looking forward to getting into these races. But, OMG! Cars pulling out into the racing line...
Yeah, sadly this is one of the most common problems I encounter across all sims. People tend to forget the basics when the adrenaline is pumping after a spin!
What a race! Well done on the podium Chris 👏👏
Thank you Simon!
Great race
Great video mate and a big fan of the enthusiasm on the commentary. Have subscribed for more
Thank you, and welcome to the channel! Hope you enjoy the upcoming vids as much. Cheers!
Nailbiting stuff well done mate,great race
Thank you mate, yeah this was a great one. Still waiting to get another one to match it!
Thankyou Chris, Cracking race and commentary, more entertaining than the tv is this channel.
Ahh thanks Jason, that’s very kind of you to say. Great to hear you enjoy the videos. Thanks for tuning in 😃
Epic white knuckle ride that one was. Massive congratulations on your first podium Chris. Well deserved!
Thank you Andy, yeah it sure was! Been a long time coming, that podium! Cheers mate
POOODDIIIIUUUUUUMMM!
That was an awesome run dude! Congratulations!🎉
Thank you so much! A big reward for a clean run with no mistakes. Loved it!
Congratulations, well done brother.
Thank you Sean! It’s been a long wait to finally get there!
Great pace and heroic finish. Nice podium 👏
Thanks Paolo, it’s taken me long enough to get there! Think I got lucky… LFM switched the track schedule an hour before this race, it was due to be Laguna Seca. So I reckon all the faster drivers had been practicing hard for Laguna, and weren’t prepared for Brands. So for me just hopping in, I was at no disadvantage. Might be a while before I repeat these heroics! 🤣
That was beautiful Chris! The redemption arc from Zolder to this is just amazing to see and what sim racing is all about!! Great pace and consistency mate, the podium was absolutely deserved. Not going to lie, when you hit that lambo (out of no fault of your own) my heart dropped. I was terrified to see a meatball flag - what a plot twist that would have been! Super video Chris :)
Thank you Lorenzo, really appreciate the kind words. It’s been a rollercoaster in ACC for me, these past few weeks! Hopefully I’ve turned the corner and found something extra… but I’ve said that before 🤣
This is so good 👍 the way you commentate makes this exciting 😀
Ahh thanks again mate, appreciate the kind words 😃
Great race, Brands is my "yee ha" track, I might not be great there but it's one of my favourites as are you and your style, well done on the podium.
Thank you Paul! I always find it really fun to drive, but results are usually mixed at best. This was definitely one of the better ones!
That was a brilliant drive and a fantastic race. I love Brands Hatch, but it can be savage. It pulls you in, rewarding your confidence with huge chunks of lap time, but destroys you when you get too greedy. A thoroughly well-deserved podium.
I couldn’t have summed up Brands Hatch any better myself! Spot on! Thanks David, cheers for tuning in
congrats on the podium!
Thank you! It’s been a long wait to finally get one!
That was Super intense!! I was on the edge of my seat rooting for you!!! Congrats man you hung in there and prevailed!!!
Thank you! I’m glad I shared the feeling of nerves and stress with you at the end there!
Super job man! 😊
Thank you mate! Cheers 😃
What a race!! Congrats on a fantastic and well deserved podium Chris 👏 🏆
Excellent video and commentary as ever too. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Jason! Cheers for watching mate, really appreciate it 😃
The last time you went purple it was because you got too excited commentating on a big crash! What a great race and result. Well done buddy - your underlying pace was strong!
Haha, that’s a weekly occurrence! Yeah, really solid performance… not the quickest, but hardly a mistake made. Got lucky by the late track change… schedule was only amended 2 hours before this race. I suspect all the keen ACC racers had been practicing hard for Laguna Seca, and weren’t prepared for Brands. So it was a great time to enter that race!
Congrats on a fantastic result Chris! Great commentary as usual, I was feeling the stress with you!
Haha glad to know I was sharing the stress! Cheers Stuart 😃
Another EPIC video, Chris! Murray Walker ain't got nothing on you, mate!!
Haha thank you mate. I think this one may have been even louder than Murray 🤣
When all the stars align. Congrats mate. 🎉
Omw made that comment literally 5 seconds before you rammed into the back of that guy. Rip
Haha, it came outta nowhere! But I survived… just 🤣
Amazing channel and video!!just got a new sub!
Nice one! Thank you, and welcome to the channel!
Brilliant race Chris, was great entertainment mate, well done :)
Thank you Glyn, cheers mate 😃
Not mid pack racer anymore, podium Chris 🎉. Well done, thoroughly deserved. Some scary close calls mind!!!!
Haha yes! Although I suspect I would still have been mid-pack, if all the fast guys in front knew how to keep off the grass 🤣 but it’s about time I got a bit of luck - and I had plenty of it here!
Congrats! Well done! Glad you stuck it out in ACC. I got my LFM license but haven't raced there yet. I really should give it a go. Season 2 for my club starts this week, and I've just switched from the BMW to the new Lambo. I'm able to set faster times in that than I was in the BMW or even the new Ferrari! Give it a try if you haven't.
Thank you Eric! No, I’ve not tried any of the other cars, apart from the Ferrari 488 before I switched to the BMW. At some point I’m going to have to try a few different ones out.
Well done Chris. Man you earned that. Commentary great as ever.
Thank you Gavin! Needed lots of good luck to get up there, but I felt I was due some luck!
Wow Chris! Best. Race. Ever.
The way you raced hard and brought that hurt puppy home was inspiring 💪
Looks like I AM firing up the PC tonight. Thanks mate, great vid
🇦🇺❤️
Thank you my friend! The result was immensely satisfying, but knowing that I’ve inspired someone else to fire up the PC and do a race too is an even better feeling😃 cheers from 🇬🇧
Very entertaining race (partly for the wrong reasons 😂). Congrats on the deserved podium!
Haha yeah! The rejoin at Paddock Hill Bend certainly made the final few laps far more nervy than they should have been! Made it all the sweeter, when I finally crossed the line though 😃
Well done Chris, well deserved podium there. I think at Brands more than anywhere else, if you can keep it clean drive a consistent race there are lots of opportunities for good finishes. Got a 2nd place myself there earlier today :)
Congrats on the 2nd place! I think I timed it well, hopping into this race right after it had been switched from Laguna Seca. It looks like a lot of the drivers had probably practiced loads for Laguna, and weren’t well prepared for Brands. So it was a great opportunity to pinch a good result!
Outstanding result mate i have tried every sim out there but no better feeling than getting a podium on ACC,so hard to over take and very difficult to be quick, set ups tyre pressures need to be spot on so well done.
Yeah, I have to say this is my most satisfying result ever. In other sims, I always feel like I’ve got a win/podium in me, if I get placed on the right grid. But in ACC, I honestly didn’t think it would ever happen! So was really chuffed with this one. Cheers for the continued support with my ACC journey, it’s truly appreciated 😃
Well done Chris, nice driving
Thank you mate. Missed not seeing you much on the track lately. Are you still racing at all?
I haven't had as much chance to lately but i'm gettimg back into it so will hopefully have some iRacing content coming from next season. And some GTR2 coming soon
@@ThomasRaceEngineering excellent, that’s good to hear. Will look forward to seeing it.
Good commentary and good race. People hate unsafe rejoins infront of them then do it themselves.
Haha yeah exactly… I’ve accidentally done it myself too, it’s easy to forget your common sense when the blood is pumping after a spin.
Bravoooooooo!
Thank you! The race made me lose some hair, the commentary made me lose my voice 🤣 Got lucky with a very late schedule change. Race was due to be Laguna Seca… I suspect all the people who are usually faster, had been practicing hard for Laguna, and weren’t prepared for the last-minute switch to Brands Hatch. So I was able to take full advantage!
I think they all saw you coming closer on the relative board and got scared. That's the only possible explanation I have for all those weird mistakes the cars in front of you made. :D Jokes aside great race Chris! You can absolutely report that Lambo driver for that awful rejoin by the way on LFM. It's against the rules to rejoin like that.
Haha yes it did feel like they were all jumping into the barriers to avoid me at one point 🤣 a couple of people have recommended a report for that rejoin, so I think I will do that later. I hate to be ‘that’ person who snitches to the teacher! But at the same time, I know the LFM report system is there to maintain and upkeep the driving standards. I just hope he doesn’t take it personally 😃
Murry would be proud. :-)
9:38 oh lord, what was he doing... Track rejoin of the year. :)
Haha I know, mad, wasn’t it! If he was that desperate to rejoin quickly, he probably could have stayed on the wide, outside line and done it reasonably safely. But driving horizontally across the track, straight to the apex 🤦🏻♂️ I was so lucky that hit didn’t end my race!
Yo I enjoyed the hell out of this video!!!
Good lad! The aim is to entertain 😃 thank you man
Me after Oulton: "I got my first podium."
Chris: "I've never had a podium on LFM."
A couple of days later ...
Chris: "WTF?"
Congrats. I started P14 last night, got up to P10 but ended up P15 after dipping wheels on the grass around Sheene ... twice. You're definitely quicker than I am around Brands, a circuit I've never got to grips with.
Haha yeah, what a coincidence! That exact thought crossed my mind after the race had finished. I got really lucky with the late change in track. It was scheduled to be Laguna Seca… I suspect all the keen LFM racers had been practicing hard all weekend for Laguna, and weren’t prepared for Brands. It’s one of my favourite tracks, so I can always just hop into it and be reasonably steady. Thanks for inspiring me with your podium heroics last week!
Always better to be consistent! I’m learning now after a year and revisiting tracks for the first time. I’m marginally quicker but much more consistent and the results/safety rating are showing
Absolutely. I only ever do 1-2 races a week, so consistency/safety is key for me… I don’t want to risk crashing it and ruining what might be my only race of the week. So often I can be a bit over-cautious, but sometimes it really does pay off. This race is the perfect example - I picked up 11 places without needing to make an overtake!
@@chrisrogerssimracing yessir! Lovely race.
Literally Drive to Survive
Please post more races like you did today. Thanks! You gained a sub.
Thank you! Really appreciate the sub, and welcome to the channel. I always aim to publish at least one race each week, so I hope you enjoy the upcoming ones 😃
Well done Chris, managed to keep your nose clean (mostly) and got a deserved result
Thank you! I felt I was due some luck, and I got loads of it in this race!
Lots of insane rejoins in your videos.
Haha yeah unfortunately that’s a common theme 🤣
Solid clean race from you! There were some very strange incidents in there. I myself have been experiencing technical difficulties since Friday and haven't been able to race in the weekend because of it. Though I don't expect them to have the same problems tbh.
I'm in VR and my headset is going black randomly for 1-2 seconds. Very scary the first time it happened cause I was a few laps into a LFM race...
Yeah! So there were two incidents that almost looked like the cars lost their steering input… or the wheel got disconnected, or something. Really bizarre. Jeez yeah a black screen on the opening lap of an ACC race must have been terrifying! 😰
Strange cos LFM changed from Laguna Seca to Brands due to apparent connection issues, maybe it wasn't the circuit
@@PaulHester66 Great point, I hadn’t even thought of that. I’ve never seen two cars crash out like that in a race before. Definitely something amiss.
Great video..I do race ACC. Best sim!
Dude, you should do commentary as a profession! So engaging and no stuttering. Was very smooth and informal.
Ahh thank you mate 😃 glad you enjoyed watching
Nice channel !
Thank you! Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy the vids 👍
@@chrisrogerssimracing For sure, subscribed...
The odds of finding someone with the same exact name as me
Nicely done but those rejoins! 🙈
“I must get back to that apex as quickly as possible” 💥
@@chrisrogerssimracing I certainly don't expect drivers to mirror, signal, manoeuvre, but it would be nice if there was a little less blind eyed panic when you have an off...
Eggciting.
Brilliant race to watch, i am a rookie at Sim Racing but love your videos.
What set-up do you have?
Thank you mate, glad you enjoy it. I only have a very basic setup, all second-hand kit. An old Thrustmaster TX wheel, Thrustmaster TLCM pedals, and I use a foldable Playseat Challenge to set up with. A few months ago I did this short video showing my setup, feel free to check it out: ruclips.net/video/bWFluvWhZe8/видео.html
Great video and thanks for sharing your times I’m new to ACC and I’ve been exclusively running on brands hatch. Needless to say I’m not running the pace that you and the rest of the field are.. how long did you have to practice here to get to those kind of times?
Excellent, glad you’ve started racing on it. To be honest, my pace goes up and down depending on how much time I spend in the sim generally, rather than specific practice on one track. I’ve done 150+ races in ACC (probably about 100 races when this video was made). This race was recorded at a time when I was racing regularly each week, and not driving any other sims much. ACC is the hardest sim to master, I’ve found, so it takes a lot of time and patience. If you’re driving other sims regularly too, that makes it even tougher. Good luck!
@@chrisrogerssimracing thanks for the reply! That gives me a lot of perspective. My only sim experience is ACC on Brands Hatch, and I have primarily focused on the GT3 992 R - I figure it's best to focus on a single track and make while I'm learning.
There are a lot of videos telling you what to do and what to fix, but there are very few that reveal how much time it takes (seat time) to really get competitive. Thanks again for sharing, and keep making those great videos!
Congrats on podium and good job holding on to 3. Would you ever consider a race longer than 20min? raceroom has 60min nordschleife, I that's a murder track 😊
Thank you! Yeah I do enjoy a longer race. It’s just rare I make a video on them, as it’s so much more editing involved. My last RaceRoom vid was a 60min race at Spa. Certainly could be tempted by the Nords race for a laugh
@@chrisrogerssimracing it's good your vids are not hours long, but once in awhile I think it would be okay with longer vids. But ya i didn't think about the work involved in editing.
Congratulations Chris. Judging by all the incidents, just finishing the race was an achievement, but to get a podium too was well deserved. Are you going to frame the result and hang it on the wall?
Haha! The beauty of having the RUclips channel is that it’s forever recorded for posterity! I need to actually win one though, to properly celebrate. But a few weeks ago, I was light years away from being anywhere near a podium, so this one was very enjoyable!
🍾🍾🍾
With a few 🍺🍺🍺 too!
Well done… Spectacular… unlike some of the driving standards on display… that rejoin was appalling…
Haha yeah it was an awful one, wasn’t it. If you’re gonna rejoin there, at least try to stay on the outside, rather than driving horizontally across track to get on the apex 🤦🏻♂️
Chris is highly recommend giving the new Ferrari a go, it drives very nicely and has great pace. Low 1.24's are comfortable in the race
Thanks, yeah a few people have said how easy to drive it is. And the results in this race was full of Ferraris, so it’s clearly the favourite pick at the moment. Might give it a try next race. If you can’t beat ‘em, join’em 🤣
These people rejoining smh
Nice racing but bro chill with the commentating it feel like you about to pass out lmao
Enjoyed that. Rejoining track is basic racing etiquette, sad to see
Hmmm 🤔 is it a acceptable excuse that I'm actually sick...
Ahh mate, yes you’re forgiven, for being on your sick bed!
Congrats on the podium, but why are you always shouting? There's just no build up to anything it's just 100% volume all the time lol
I apologise for any ear damage caused in this one! I do try and insert calmer moments in, but this ended up not being one of them 😵💫📢
That's fairly common of sports commentators. You have a volume control, use it.
Chris a huge congrats 🎉 The best feeling is success after a long struggle. A year ago you were so far off the pace I wouldn't be surprised if you wondered if it would ever happen 🎉
@@lewisgordon1490 Ahh thank you Lewis, very kind of you to say. Haha, never mind a year ago… just 2 weeks ago, I never thought I’d manage it! 🤣
Lol honestly, that energy is one of the reasons I love watching Chris.
@@RudiOnRails I’m not gonna knock the effort the guy puts in, I’m always looking for new simracing RUclipsrs to watch and enjoy, I was merely stating my observation and my own viewing experience, if that’s who he unapologetically is then that’s absolutely fine, but some people like to hear the criticism even if it’s not positive, so was just giving my own personal thoughts.
Some of the re-joins are an absolute joke
Yeah, the one at Paddock Hill Bend was really bad. And I’m not just saying that because I got hit 🤣 But it looked like, if he really wanted to rejoin straight away, he could have done it a bit safer on the outside of the track. Why he drove horizontally across track, straight to the apex, is beyond me 🤷🏻♂️ Thankfully, the damage wasn’t a race-ender. But it was a big hit, I got really lucky to be able to continue ok.
@@chrisrogerssimracing See quite a few drivers just bury the throttle in frustration when they crash out giving no consideration to the other cars on track. I know a lot of people don't like to do it but that re-join is probably worthy of a report. That could very easy have been the end of your race.
@@phippsa3 Yeah I was thinking exactly that. I’m one of those that doesn’t like to file reports. But at the same time, I know how important they are to maintain and upkeep driving standards. LFM do a fantastic job with the reporting system too. So I know I should file one, and I probably will. I just need to wrestle with my conscience for a bit, feeling bad for snitching on another driver to the teacher 🤣
What a fantastic race and commentary! That was the first videos of yours I have ever watched! I am very impressed! I would say it was as good if not better than the real thing! Keep up the great videos and work!
Hey Jim, welcome to the channel! Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it… plenty more like this one in the archives, and plenty more to come too! Thanks for watching
