Very happy to see your channel normalized and to be watching you again! For me you are the best simracing content creator, by a mile! Keep it up Dave! I learn a lot from you!
Great to see you giving the SR8 a go - still my favourite iRacing car, such a shame iRacing dropped the ball and retired it. 200+ entries in one of last nights races. You can hammer those low flat kerbs... just hold on tight :)
I checked, there were 60-260 participants every time slot, hopefully that will be enough to encourage iracing to bring it back, even if it's in a mixed radical class. I miss racing it so much.
People are saying that this car "tries to kill you", no it DOESN'T! It simply feels as a properly balanced race car should feel, that's all. Most of the cars on Iracing just don't feel right, that's why my go to sim is RF2... The SR8 in Iracing is brilliant! Amazing race Dave!!
The SR8 was the whole reason I got on Iracing and then just in time for me to get my C class license, they retired it. Still the most raw and engaging car on the service in my opinion. Keep waiting for them to give us AI racing with it.
I'm just getting into C class road racing this season. Thought, "OH, I should switch it up. Try something new. The Radical looks fun!". You aren't kidding when you say this car is a HANDFUL, but boy it's satisfying to get right. Great vid Dave. Impressive watching you wrangle this around the ring.
Love this car, remember racing you at Road America a year or so ago, until some guy drove across the S/F straight and took you out. Spoiled my race a little as you were slowly catching me and I was looking forwards to the last lap battle. Hoping the participation levels this week convince them to bring it back, i miss it so much, reminded me of karting.
We should be able to get Jim to call out the names of the corners at the Nordscheifle, I found the sound pack today in the CrewChief raceroom folder, it's been there for years! Just needs volunteers to write up the location of all the corners, which won't take too long at all. We've already fixed that formation side bug, which is actually an iRacing telemetry bug, and hopefully we'll get that into the next release (the only reason you didn't hit it today is because you started from the pits).
The ending where you just showed all of the chaos throughout the race was absolutely brilliant 😂😂. Watching you have such a clean race then going back and seeing the carnage was like an ahha, there's the people in my races moment lol. Glad to see they're still in the top splits as well lmao. Good race Cam!
Glad to see you back Dave . I have not always been able to watch as often as I liked but I know I want to like and watch when I can. Great run. I know a Young man who races these in the Radical Series in the US and Canada. Racing with Autism. He has been very competitive and won a few races and is getting people educated on what people on the spectrum can do. He loves the Radical because it is a handful....
Dave, I agree with you about this car. I used to race the Radical all the time until it was upgraded. I like that iRacing decided to use this season of the RingMeister to bring back some cars that have been sitting on the shelf like the Radical, last week's Solstice and the Pro Mazda is coming up in the next couple of weeks as well.
Totally agree Dave, the SR8 is miles better to drive than the SR10 and much more fun wish they would bring it back in a more frequent form as not many series you get to use it.
I was in this race with you Dave (finished P3) and you are right! This combination is an animal but it is so much fun to drive. I’ve had two proper good races in this car this week. So much fun!
You make that track look so easy. I finally purchased the track this season and my god what a challenge it is. Still haven't been able to string together two laps without crashing. Cheers!
Go back about two years or so and he said he hated the Ring at one point. Dave has just worked at his craft on the Ring and it is amazing to watch him come from the back and eat up the field
@@marklittle8805 I was the same way. The endurance team I'm on wanted me to do the N24 with them but I hated the ring. After a last minute drop out from someone I had to step in. Grinded the ring for like 3 days before the race. Now it's one of my favorite tracks
Also my kind of car! One thing I noticed was that this cars are a lot easier to drive when you have a load cell break pedal, maybe thats why there are more incidents in these races Love Radicals, I wish to see more people on the SR10 series as well! Nice pace, Dave!
I raced the SR8 for the first time at the Nord. Did the first 2 races starting from the pits and couldnt avoid another car in the first race. In the 2nd race I was lucky and from 27th to 5th in the 2nd split, would hate to see the bottom splits. The car is a beast and the FFB is the strongest and needed adjustment. Anyway, really waiting for the Pro mazda in about 10 days
I woke up early this morning (6am, could t sleep) so decided to jump on iRacing and do a race, I picked this and it definitely wasn’t easy half asleep 😂
how to you shift with this car - are you doing heel-toe or some driver assist? - Love it as always and looking forward to your P1-Mistral pedals review!
I've never driven this thing before this week and it's now by far my favorite car in iRacing, what a weapon! Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, did you downshift without blipping? I felt I needed to blip the thing down, but maybe it was just me being full banana
Dave what are you using for FF settings in-game and with your wheelbase? Everything looks real smooth! I have a Simagic Alpha running 15nm & 100%FF on the wheelbase and I was able to make it maybe 1 lap of the Nordschleife before my hands were exhausted and I could barely hold the wheel steady. It seems to be jerking around much, much more than yours is, I'd be curious to know your settings! TY
Just outta morbid curiosity dave would you consider taking replays from viewers? If so I would love to share one of mine where i demonstrate a valuable lesson of perseverance and damage control.
I absolutely love the SR8. It is hands down my favorite car on iRacing. I would love to see more series or leagues featuring this car. The SR10 doesn’t hold a candle to it in fun factor.
Hi Dave. Whats the refresh rate on your screens? Is it worth having the fps unlimited even when the display is restricted to 120hz? I get over 230fps when unlimited but my display is 120hz. Thanks.
don't press the grid button. when the countdown finish, it will change to "missing start". Then press it and you will start from the pits. Also if you already are on the grid and want to get back to the pits you can just press esc and get out.
I tried to race this car but wasnt able to set it up correctly, my downshifts was only working under heavy braking or with clutch, my brain coulnd´t handle the downshifts with pedals and using clutch like H shifter, with pedals I normally break with the clutch pedal, I will try it again
I don't understand why people don't respect other players on the track. yes it's just a game. but it's about having fun. and not spoil a race for everyone else because. some insist they are the best. when they clearly aren't... I see it myself so often.
@@eldermoletta195 It depends on the track. It is a fun and challenging car to drive so if it's a good track people show up. This week it's at Sebring I believe so it should be busy 😁
@@jeremyt7722 well in my experience it's mainly having no self awareness of your own ability and being unable to grasp the idea of "if I am not fast then I should not push on cold tires"
No way i survive all those moves you went for. Im 3k c licens just started a month ago, and people in my lobbiee deffend so much more aggressive and slower than ppl in ur lobby. Like im for sure at least getting 8x unless i start pole. But do like 40 percent the time
Very happy to see your channel normalized and to be watching you again! For me you are the best simracing content creator, by a mile! Keep it up Dave! I learn a lot from you!
Couldn’t have said it better!👍
Thank you mate, appreciate it 😀
Honored to have you answering me! @@davecamyt
Only car with zero incident points that actually finished the race...nice drive as usual Dave!!
I didn't notice that! Thanks for the heads up. Wish I got some kind of trophy 🤣
Abosulutely one of the most underrated cars in iracing, especially considering it’s been shadowed by the sr10
Great video mate!
Great to see you giving the SR8 a go - still my favourite iRacing car, such a shame iRacing dropped the ball and retired it. 200+ entries in one of last nights races. You can hammer those low flat kerbs... just hold on tight :)
I'm too scared 🤣

My favorite track+car combo by far! I was so sad when the radical series changed to the SR10.

You were also the only one that got zero incident points. Very well done. Thanks for the content.
They have improved the SR10 in recent builds, but I used to love the SR8. Will have to give it a go before the week is out
Good on you for this one, Dave. This is by far my favourite car. Hopefully more people will want to learn to tame it & race it now.
Superb driving Dave
Aggressive at the right time
Back in form Dave I felt the g-force in my armchair what a race so good to see you back 👍🏻🇬🇧🏎👏👏👏
You make that track look so easy. I finally purchased the track this season and my god what a challenge it is. Still haven't been able to string together two laps without crashing. Cheers!
Now imagine a team keeping the car alive for 24hrs. While also trying to pass slower traffic. Racecar drivers are crazy

Love Radicals, I wish to see more people on the SR10 series as well! Nice pace, Dave!
I’d be surprised if there is more than one person in Top Split without LC pedals. They have become the norm for all but noobies to iRacing.
One of the ebst cars in iRacing. Shame it got replaced, would love there to be officals for it again.
love these vids especially that top left cam with a tv style view and the delta on the bottom right. Love it

Cool video as always. Please make overlays a little bigger as they are pointless on the phone. Cheers! 🥂
I think this is the coolest iracing combo. petition to reintroduce this car
This car is especially fun with a sequential shifter! Makes it even more of a handful haha, nice driving Dave!
Stellar drive Dave. Absolutely loved this video. What a car !!
I can't afford iRacing, but the SR8 is the only car I drive in RF2, and is one of my favorite mods in AC1! I also love Caterham!
I woke up early this morning (6am, could t sleep) so decided to jump on iRacing and do a race, I picked this and it definitely wasn’t easy half asleep 😂
You just make it look so easy to drive.. Great driving!!
Oi thats me upside down and lagging out at 3:37, you love to see it :)
Best car track combo on iracing love it
Ahh I miss the old Radical. Truly radical!
Top split you say?
It's had to tell sometimes.
The SR8 is one of those cars that just tries to kill you at all times.
Well done Dave.
👍
AYYE welcome back!!!! And ole boi on a rocket in this one!!!!
Master of the main straight 💪great drive
The guy with Holden on his car drives how I’d expect. Bogan driving beep beep. Probably a fan of Jack Smith.
Omg this is the car that I love the most have to try it out after such a long time
Excellent race man 🤌
Good lord, the incident part was longer then the race 😂 Good job on the 0 x Dave :-)
Great upload!!! Thanks Dave!
Great race. Ripple does it again.
Was always my fav back in the day, just the right amount of downforce
The 50/50 kerb - can confirm death. I found out on lap 3 last night after climbing from last to p14! Argh!
how to you shift with this car - are you doing heel-toe or some driver assist? - Love it as always and looking forward to your P1-Mistral pedals review!
Great race mate
30:44 imagine beeing that Martini car getting DSQ 100m from the line
Couldn't watch the carnage to the end :DDD
You should try the Radical in VR! It’s an absolute blast
9:10 No way those aren’t paid actors Dave! In any other race they would have sent you to outer space 😂
Man, that’s what iracing is for
these things look so brittle. chuckling over the carnage replay at how much warping happens over the tiniest bumps
Nice comeback Dave, one question, is there a way to change the driving side.? Thanks
oh Dave C'mon! You gotta get rid of the auto-blip for the full experience!
Paulo was pretty vocal in chat during the race. I'd be curious his incidents and finish.
I am the 26 car at 3:52, unfortunetly got taken out due to hugeee netcode! 😅
I've never driven this thing before this week and it's now by far my favorite car in iRacing, what a weapon! Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, did you downshift without blipping? I felt I needed to blip the thing down, but maybe it was just me being full banana
Hey Dave, looks like a ton of fun to drive. Question though, how do you get to see all the incidents like you do in the end?
The biggest complainer was also the biggest irating gainer. 😂
Longest carnage-section evah!
Dave what are you using for FF settings in-game and with your wheelbase? Everything looks real smooth! I have a Simagic Alpha running 15nm & 100%FF on the wheelbase and I was able to make it maybe 1 lap of the Nordschleife before my hands were exhausted and I could barely hold the wheel steady. It seems to be jerking around much, much more than yours is, I'd be curious to know your settings! TY
Just outta morbid curiosity dave would you consider taking replays from viewers? If so I would love to share one of mine where i demonstrate a valuable lesson of perseverance and damage control.
It's a shame Iracing didn't continue with the official championship for this car
3 x perfect Wipermann, nice ;)
I love that section 😁
Dave do you have any tips on learning this track ?
I absolutely love the SR8. It is hands down my favorite car on iRacing. I would love to see more series or leagues featuring this car. The SR10 doesn’t hold a candle to it in fun factor.
The car with 2 Hayabusa engines!!
So sad iRacing killed this awesome car with that Sr10 nonsense
Does anybody know what button box dave uses, the one you can see next to him?
Amazing race. You made a small mistake in the summary though as Paulo Pinto2 definitely was the biggest loser in that race.
Hi Dave. Whats the refresh rate on your screens? Is it worth having the fps unlimited even when the display is restricted to 120hz? I get over 230fps when unlimited but my display is 120hz. Thanks.
You'll probably get a smoother and more consistent image using 120 with gysnc/freesync 👍
How do you start from the pits in iracing? I always end up in the middle of the starting grid . Get wrecked in turn 1.
don't press the grid button. when the countdown finish, it will change to "missing start". Then press it and you will start from the pits. Also if you already are on the grid and want to get back to the pits you can just press esc and get out.

Just blip while braking
Nice racing for you 😅
I prefer the 8 so much more than the 10
Dave was wondering what your steering radius ?
Setting my new McClaren wheel and 180* is still too much.
Thanks for your content, glad you are back.

It's not a game it's a simulator 😂
@@michaeldolan6415 omg!
Imagine using auto blip
Jk this car is wild and getting perfect downshifts is rough sometimes
Driving the SR8 is like meeting your ex and getting drunk together.
Am I the only one that thinks Paolo Pinto is a tool? I wasn't sure if I'd missed the fact that he was a professional driver or not? Gobby loonball 🤛
Nope, me too 😁
So much netcode lol
This will be the last "Like" you will get until you use a tear off...lol
I know 🤣🤣
Hi, this car is a good buy in game? Thanks
It's a brilliant car but no longer has it's own official series. It was replaced by the Radical SR10
Thanks Dave, and the SR 10 is a good buy? Has constant races? Thx.
@@eldermoletta195 It depends on the track. It is a fun and challenging car to drive so if it's a good track people show up. This week it's at Sebring I believe so it should be busy 😁
This car is actually free with your subscription as far as I can tell because I could race it without ever buying it.
I really wish people had a bit more respect for this track, the first 2 minutes of any ring meister are such a shit show
A lot of it is driver fixate on the racing line, not the alternate, but it's tough on such a long track. Going side by side is a huge gamble.

Its too bad this week is a crashfest.
So annoying that the race is every 2 hours. Its done within 30 mins, then you have to wait 90 for another
Stop saying top split 'unbelievable' when it's not really much of a top split. It's about a quarter a proper top split SoF...
It's top split 😳
No way i survive all those moves you went for. Im 3k c licens just started a month ago, and people in my lobbiee deffend so much more aggressive and slower than ppl in ur lobby. Like im for sure at least getting 8x unless i start pole. But do like 40 percent the time
Driving the Radical: It's like trying to shave with a razorblade attached to a sawzall
