    Hi Ben, awesome race and awesome result for you! Well deserved! I was in the same race. It was my very first TCR online race in RR after just some single player practice with the Audi TCR. I never drove TCR in RR before. I qualified directly behind you in the grid but got punted out in T1 in lap 1 what sadly destroyed my engine completely. In the replay the punt didn't look intentional and perhaps at least partly caused by myself. But anyway, you came through T1 and I keept watching the race from within the game from your car. Your freeze looked very courious to me, as if you where driving constantly to the right in T1 and UNDER the race track. I nerver saw anything like that in RR before. And I was very happy that somehow your game reconnected and put you back on track. Much, much better than a disconnect.
    The Hans-Peter Schwarz driver made me furious. A RR driver with already over 2000 ranked races who behaves so dirty! Unbelievable! The blocking was intentional all the time. I saw it from the roof of your car. He waited which line you choosed and just switched in front of you, multiple times. The time you drove beside him he not even tried to get the inside line of the hairpin. Another very dirty move! Thank god his capabilities ended just a little later in the stadium section and he shot himself off track. That made me happy 🙂
    I had today two more races with TCR at Hockenheim. I could start both times in the first half of the grid and had very clean races (drives in the second half of the grid wheren't that luck). I really lack speed, so I have to keep on racing to get a better pace for the Hockenheim 30 minutes championship race in a couple of days.
    I hope to see you back in RR and would love to see more RR content from you!

    It's a good thing Schwartz went off, I was getting upset just watching you get blocked over and over again. It's so incredibly tempting to nudge a guy in the back and turn him around after changing lanes 3 or 4 times every single straight, some really dangerous driving there. Just some messy racing up front despite everyone's rating being pretty decent. Keep it up Ben!

    As far as the channel goes I think raceroom content is smart. You and Chris really produce some 9f the highest quality raceroom content and it's an easy win in terms of people finding your channel. Also it's incredibly accessable content for new or budget sim racers. I personally don't bother watching iracing content as I don't have the time or cash to invest although I'm sure lots of people enjoy that too. ✌️💙

    Still the best wheel to wheel racing sim out there, just a shame it's not as popular as it should be. I have a feeling all ISP's are under continual cyber assault presently and counter measures can cause a pause in the data stream, everyone I know is getting micro freezes and worse, in all types of software, just more prevalant in gaming. Nice to see you back in a proper sim, won't give EA eye time I'm afraid, let alone money, they are but a boil on the arse, whilst sliding down the bannister of life, best avoided. Great video, in a great sim, from a small independant developer, one of the very few left. Bravo!

    I just started dabbling with TCRs. I don't drive FWD cars much.
    I noticed I could carry more speed in Zolder when I let it drift a bit (via gas pedal modulation) into wider corners, but now I see that you don't do that at all. So I guess it's back to the drawing board with my TCR strategy!

But I still suffer from what you described in one of your videos about the anxiety of online racing. I won my last R3E race but not without causing 2 cars to crash into each other cause I broke a millisecond too late on the opening lap on Laguna Seca and slightly punted one of them before I got the chance to complete the switch of my racing line to his inside. Since then haven't dared to join another online race.
