This is the change TCR so desperately needed! I can see this series growing so much over the next 13 weeks, so many are jumping into the sessions for Week 13! Thank you for doing another TCR video Dave!
Great for the series/community that one of the BIG boy streamers are shedding some light on a great series. Hopefully this will attract more people to participate. Keep up the good work 👏🏽
Just a quick bit of advice for the TCRs, I know you're already quick in them but they really shine when you get the break bias even lower! i run 61 as a maximum in the honda, with some tracks even going down to 55, and it allows for much better exits and rotation on entry, just a thought
The TCR series was THE MOST popular series on iR (of the paid content) before they butchered it by matching the fixed/open schedules, sifting the race times to every other hour, and then messing around with GT4....
It's a real shame these cars see so little attention from drivers. The IMSA bi-weekly mutliclass race usually only manages to fill one of the splits with the TCRs
We should be seeing more TCRs as well later this or next year since the team at iRacing picked up some TCR licenses from WTCR. Hopefully that gives another resurgence to drivers coming into the series. Week 13 for sure at the start lol great race though, SP is a difficult track for the TCRs for sure.
When you get those "secret" pedals, it might be a good idea to also try the sim magic haptics (you can mount them to pretty much any pedal) too see how the compare.
I test drove these cars last night, had never tried them, but they're really fun! I'm doing GT4 for season 3 but i could honestly see myself doing TCR for season 4. Looks like a blast!
Great update for the TCR’s. I wanted to ask you if you’ve tried the VRS pedals and if so would you recommend them as an upgrade to heusinkveld sprints?
Would love iracing to get the BTCC as now Rfactor doesn’t have the exclusive. Love the touring car racing but think they should also adjust the safety rating for a bit of rubbing.
It sure has potential, looks really fun to drive. Im gonna give it a go in the Honda 😊 Well driven Dave! Now, are those pedals really worth that pricetag?? If you are going for all three - you are mental 😂
Good advertisement for the series! Maybe I give it a go in S3 as well. I was always hesitating as most of the times there was only a single split. Most of the time with drivers way above my skill/iRating. I already own three of the TCRs but I move them way to seldomly.
If possible, could you please comment if you have to turn them on and off every time you hop onto the rig or one can leave them on (like they say on their site). Im just curious how it actually is in real life... do they get hot or make a subtle noise if you dont turn them off. Thank you very much in advance Dave!
I discovered the TCR series the last 3 weeks of the season , sadly i am a low irating driver and with the most 2 splits i am totally out classed in every race usually in last position with half a lap gap to the leaders at the end , but man i do enjoy driving the Honda , i just need to get faster ....
@@sloth_energy I'm interested in the perceived "pressure" or "strength" and speed of how he applies the brake and throttle. And how much actual pedel travel he has. If that makes sense?
When you say they've adjusted the tire wear, do you mean just TCR, or all Road and Nascar series. Cause some Nascar tracks, the superspeedways have very little tire wear and no need to change when gas is needed. Also, driving on the grass when someones start is so bad that it could cause mayhem, I'd do it. And about the pedal review to come. Why has so much disfavor fallen on Fanatec?
I missed you Dave. Sorry haven't watched in a bit. Been simming hard but with Fight sim. Nothing better than these 2 sims. Flying airliners is very satisfying. To be able to set these planes up to safely get from one place to another is very easy after the "set up". The flight is not the fun of it. Anyway sim racing is still a must for me.
Looks like you dont like the Audi, you dont even mention it!!! I have been racing with the Audi and looks like Hondas and Hyundais have better performance in most of the tracks.
I have been looking for BTCC or TCR to race in. I bought the rf2 pack last year and never raced online due to lack of other people. I will give it a go here and see if it is any better.
Enjoy the Active Pedals Dave. I just got the Brake pedal & passive throttle, they're incredible. Look forward to the review & although, as always, price is subjective, I feel they're worth every penny. Having actual resistance & ABS you can't just push through, like you can with the haptics is an amazing feeling, enjoy.
Going to review the active pedal? I’d like to know if it’s worth it for someone to go that route when they are still fairly new. I have Fanatec CSL v3 right now, been on iracing for 5 months and have settled into 1500-1600 IR. Have a P1x Pro rig so I’m set there. Would like to know if you think the active pedal truly aids a driver (allows them to be faster) over the heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals. Would prefer to only invest one more time in sim hardware now that I know I’m racing regularly and hope that adding a few cars and tracks allowing me to enter some different series will allow me to increase IR. Likely go to do a Simucube pro base and a wheel with a clutch paddle so I’m looking to move to a two pedal setup only. Thanks Dave, I’ll be eagerly waiting to see your testing and feedback!
Good update, I love TCR! But I feel it's a day late and a dollar short. If it had been included in last months update the series would have been more popular I'm sure. But to include it in the update with Indy getting wet tires, a new track, and the Mustang GT3. I know I wont be racing this series, as I'll be doing GT3, Radical SR10, and Porsche Cup Series.
I got the Civic Type R recently but did not really plan to do much with it, maybe get my feet wet. I dont like FWD very much, I suck so bad with them. But I may just try to do a few races in the coming season. I have no data to compare, but it might be fun to do. On occasion. I already have plenty I want to run full time :)
LMAO…..quote of the race “it’s week 13” followed by excellent pass in the grass….not to be out done by spotter saying you’re in the middle 3-wide and you “Jesus” 😂
I pretty much only race the TCR's and have done since they introduced the Civic, Elantra and Veloster and bloody love em!!! In fact I was in that last TCR race you did...I was the one who said hello :) Be great if you did a full season Dave.
Having been an engineer in IMSA & SRO it’s awesome to see these get a proper refresh. We’ve only had 1 tire compound for the cars but the tire strategy is interesting in IRL races. Sometimes just front w/ fuel or longer enduros we do 4 tires around the 2nd tire change.
I've always been tempted to try out this series, but the low level of participation has made me hesitate. I'm definitely down to try it now if the competition is there.
Good race! I made the carnage reel 🫡 Never did TCR before, hope the carnage isn’t like this in official races. Did really love the way the car drives though, if this series get’s some momentum I might race it this season.
Cracking start, definitely only a W13 move to make! You did give me plenty of room, my terrible line out of the first left hander was only ever going to end in understeer at turn4- which it certainly did! THAT, and a distinctive paint scheme in my mirror threw me off too! New tires feel very different, am very hopeful for more consistent TCR official splits this season Till next race!
Great racing Dave :) nice the TCR.. don't do that much. Mybe a year ago i did a race :( nice too hear that you test more pedals. i recently posted a discord PM to you with some questions :) but i guess that's the wrong place. :) I am thinking to replace the Fanatec DD1 including the Porsche wheel. so i need some advise and input :) So let the test video sequence start :)
Dave, you always make it look easy. These things look like fun. I think I'll have to throw my hat in the ring this season. If you're testing those active pedals, let us know how they work on the oval side as well. They're outside my budget, but I'm always interested in hearing about good tech.
Nice Win Dave. I love this series. Tires are greatly improved! The BOP is in a really good place. And the community voted in a fun and diverse schedule.

"The GUY behind has just done a 1:18.4..." Jessica's like "yea cheers Jim mate, just had me hair done n everything" 👍 Ruthless Jim like! I hope the TCR does pick up, that would be good.
@@davecamyt Cool, thought it was wider than mine as you get so much onto a screen. Do you do that purely to get a better view for the content? Or is it simply what you feel comfortable with?
Another fun video. What app are you using for the spotter info? I need to check that out as an alternate to overlays since those are more of a hassle in VR that I prefer to use now.
@@davecamyt OK, that was my guess but wanted to be sure so thanks a ton for confirming. Looks like I need to get that rolling because it sure seems handy with what I heard from it in just this one race.
Ohh that overtake off track should of gotten you a slowdown. Not good etiquette. Lucky it wasnt me on track aside you i would have done my best to trap youon the grass. 😂 You did leave space to the guy in first i think it was a poor attempt at squeezing. Cracking pace. 😀
This is the change TCR so desperately needed!
I can see this series growing so much over the next 13 weeks, so many are jumping into the sessions for Week 13! Thank you for doing another TCR video Dave!
The Honda civic looks soooooo good though.
Hey Dave! What angle is your steering wheel at? I’m talking about the physical angle of the wheel not in the game. How much is it tilted up?
Great for the series/community that one of the BIG boy streamers are shedding some light on a great series. Hopefully this will attract more people to participate. Keep up the good work 👏🏽

Well, I'll be ACTIVELY watching for that pedal review.

Really hard late in the stint.. tires absolutely die if you push them.
Brilliant improvement though
I just bought into the GT4 series... I don't need another series to race... I don't need another series to race....
Simucube ActivePedal?
Yes Dave! TCR for the win, hopefully this will help pick the series up
When you get those "secret" pedals, it might be a good idea to also try the sim magic haptics (you can mount them to pretty much any pedal) too see how the compare.
Also BTCC is in my opinion underrated.
Dave, you've peaked my interest ... I may just pick up a TCR car and give it a go this coming season. Thank you from Canada eh!
Along with the 992 Cup car being re-worked so it's fun to drive now these two changes are the best updates for this season.
I test drove these cars last night, had never tried them, but they're really fun! I'm doing GT4 for season 3 but i could honestly see myself doing TCR for season 4. Looks like a blast!

All TCR cars are paddle shift (apart from the Renault Mégane, but that's not in I racing anyway)
It sure has potential, looks really fun to drive. Im gonna give it a go in the Honda 😊 Well driven Dave! Now, are those pedals really worth that pricetag?? If you are going for all three - you are mental 😂

OMG 2 TCR videos so close?!? LFG DAVE!!!!!
I think this series is not that popular because its only fwd cars. I love to race ”slow” cars, but im not huge fan of fwd racing. That was nice race!
If possible, could you please comment if you have to turn them on and off every time you hop onto the rig or one can leave them on (like they say on their site). Im just curious how it actually is in real life... do they get hot or make a subtle noise if you dont turn them off. Thank you very much in advance Dave!
I see nothing wrong with going on the grass you had no where to go. Happens all the time in the BTCC 😂👍 Great Video would love to see more TCR content
I discovered the TCR series the last 3 weeks of the season , sadly i am a low irating driver and with the most 2 splits i am totally out classed in every race usually in last position with half a lap gap to the leaders at the end , but man i do enjoy driving the Honda , i just need to get faster ....
Thanks Dave, I hope to race with you on TCR soon
Oh I would love a bmw 330 or a gr86 in the correct spec , for some real wheel drive touring cars
"Nah, its week 13". Then just overtakes out on the grass, NICE!!!
The car behind followed😂😂😂
I promise you if it was NASCAR, they would be on the grass on a restart.
Oh man i'll have to start iRacing up again if the TCR's gain some popularity after this.
I would love to see a full season of both the TCR and GT4 cars! I’m sure many others would too.
Since iRacing safety rating system is garbage, this series has no chance because you can’t go door banging as it should be possible.
Now they just have to add the rolling start and it will be perfect
I didn’t know they even had touring cars in iracing!
I had not heard the spotter say the person's name and irating before!? How do you set that up?
How can you get the spotter informing the irating from the opponent?
Week 13? Full send. Nice start with the pass in the grass
I'd like to see a foot cam on some of these. I'm curious how you brake so well.
I just hit the pedal and hope. I'll try and get one on for a future race 👍
Note, there's brake and throttle telemetry in the bottom left of the video which is probably better that a foot cam.
@@sloth_energy I'm interested in the perceived "pressure" or "strength" and speed of how he applies the brake and throttle. And how much actual pedel travel he has. If that makes sense?
So...
When we getting more ovals?😄
The car sounds like my farts.
When you say they've adjusted the tire wear, do you mean just TCR, or all Road and Nascar series. Cause some Nascar tracks, the superspeedways have very little tire wear and no need to change when gas is needed. Also, driving on the grass when someones start is so bad that it could cause mayhem, I'd do it.
And about the pedal review to come. Why has so much disfavor fallen on Fanatec?
I think they've called behind in quality gear, or everyone else has caught up. The customer service if late has been very damaging too 🫤
Dave love everything, just 1 question ,what spotter pack have you got it sounds amazing and very informative..
think it's crew chief
I missed you Dave. Sorry haven't watched in a bit. Been simming hard but with Fight sim. Nothing better than these 2 sims. Flying airliners is very satisfying.

I know exactly what you mean though. Tearing down my rig and rebuilding seems more fun than racing somehow 🤣
Sorry to *whomever* that I had contact with
Looks like you dont like the Audi, you dont even mention it!!! I have been racing with the Audi and looks like Hondas and Hyundais have better performance in most of the tracks.
I don't mind the Audi, I just don't have a paint for it 😁
I have been looking for BTCC or TCR to race in. I bought the rf2 pack last year and never raced online due to lack of other people. I will give it a go here and see if it is any better.
I think the rf2 btcc content is better, but there is some great racing to be had on iRacing in the TCR 😁
Has Dave ever published his Crew Chief settings anywhere? I'm hearing lines I've never heard before in this vid
It's the release candidate version. You can grab it from the Beta section on the Crew Chief forum 👍
+1 new guy to TCR this season

TCR feels great to drive now, It's a shame it does not have a cool multiclass series like the GT4.
It does, IMPC every 2 weeks over the weekend with the GT4’s in a Two Hour Racer’s Dream!
@@JayCaulls Not as cool as the falken series in my opinion, would be nice if they added the radical for example to spice things up.
They seem a bit easy to tap around from the back even on a straight.
No weight on the rear I suppose 🫤

What split was this. Those drivers are the worst I've seen in ages.
Week 13. You should have seen LMP3 and GT4 last night. 🤣
I had no idea there was a jump there! RIP Bathurst jump... long live the Summit Point jump!

My home track. Love the place. Go there often to watch drifting more though.
Had a lot of fun tonight at Rudskogen in the Audi TCR. I hope more people show up for these cars in the future🤘
I've been itching to jump into this series for a while now, might try it out this season then.
I've always been tempted to try out this series, but the low level of participation has made me hesitate. I'm definitely down to try it now if the competition is there.

I also think I’m going to do a full season in the TCR. They are a hoot to drive.
Banging race, sir. There was nothing wrong with your start, you just caught everyone napping.
I own the Veloster in real life and I find it hard to race it in iracing. I always feel like I should be in the real thing when im in it in sim.
Looks like fun racing, at least at the start before you crushed them all! Can't wait to see more of this
