Finally! I started watching you weeks ago and have watched every video hoping for a spot on the podium at some point, and then with a brilliant piece of misdirection you take P1. Love it.
He played the game too, so fair play to you Dave! I was thinking maybe "miss" the braking point into the left before the banking to let him by and follow into the bus stop.
Good Race from both of you. Both had the same strategy not leading into the busstop at the last lap. The move was absolute genius and legit. Nothing to complain about. Downside it won't work again. Next time you'll both parking before the busstop waiting for the other to move 😂
Great race to watch with both of you working out how to win. It’s no different than the guy behind feinting to go one way and then switching to the other. Brilliant racing and I would use that technique but Im always at the back so never get the chance 😂
Dave, that is the best cat-n-mouse race I have seen both virtual and IRL in many years! What is more, I did not hear one complaint about the Le Mans chicane (Bus Stop). I added this video to my stash of tutorials and examples of big-brain racing.
nah, that was pretty good move imo and just disrupting the leapfrog game. unsportsmanlike would have been if you break checked him or tapped him to spin out or didnt give room in corners, etc.
Just watched. Brilliant racing and very defensive on the last lap got you the win. The guy in second I think underestimated you. I suspect he will learn from that and do something different next time. Cheers.
Always like your style, but as an added information stream, could you show a small map so viewers can sort of see whats going on (mostly) behind? Cheers
lol, I love it. I had no idea what you were planning. I kept wondering what on earth you could be planning, because if he's behind after the bus stop, that's it. there's no saving it. that was beautiful. I think if I was him I would both be mad and have massive respect haha
Definitely not unsporting, beautifully thought through and executed, making sure you didn't brake test him (which of course would have been completely unsporting 😂😂) Great race, really enjoyable, and "a bit of slide action for the fans!" 😂😂
My tuppence worth, I think it was a great move, a little fortunate on your side as quite easily could have backfired on you if he sailed past, taken the line and actually built up the same gap you did. Great race, fantastic move for the win.
In real life this would put drivers into unnecessary danger but given that this is effectively the same as how iRacing expect us to serve slowdown penalties, it's probably fair game in the sim. The only thing that might get you is if the iRacing stewards consider it to be "erratic driving", which is mentioned but not defined in the Sporting Code. The dictionary definition is "moving or behaving in a way that is not regular, certain, or expected" but even then it's still a fine line and I would like to think that it would be necessary to do it excessively to get any kind of slap on the wrists. Maybe there's a way to do it more subtly, like pretend to fluff your exit out of the hairpin, or go a little on the grass to pretend you got a slowdown penalty... but if the car behind chooses to stay behind there isn't much to be done (and they are also taking a risk that they can pull off the overtake). In any case, for this one time, I rule: genius.
Hahah I'm "Paul Saraghi"/ Jett, racing under dad's name. Good race that was just genius and funny
Great racing 😁
Great racing Paul. I think Dave was surprised how well his last bus stop move turned out for all his planning.
I think it's no different than him sandbagging to not pass you. He had his strategy. You had yours.
That's so funny, I can picture the confusion on Paul's face as he's trying to figure out what just happened lol
I suspect Dave was a bit surprised too.
That was a beautiful move, honestly.
Finally! I started watching you weeks ago and have watched every video hoping for a spot on the podium at some point, and then with a brilliant piece of misdirection you take P1. Love it.
100% Genius :) You're a genius Dave.
Did you block him? NO
Did you impeded his movements NO
Did you interfere with his race? NO
100% GENIUS MOVE :)
Great move. When you said "Top Gun" move I immediately thought "slam on the brakes, he'll fly right by". He should have flown by lol
He played the game too, so fair play to you Dave! I was thinking maybe "miss" the braking point into the left before the banking to let him by and follow into the bus stop.
Bus stop on the last lap was the best thing I've seen in Mazdas on iRacing and real life, easily my favorite moment. Great job!
legit for me. I remember this old clip of Max (yes, THAT Max) doing something 5head too exactly like that but reversed
Genius! It was on track, you didn't put him in danger or crash him. Nice!
Great move, no different than him laying back to not pass you. Smart strategy, good job
not sure you cheated, was a little cheeky. Therefore, Genius! Nice race mate.
Master of Magic, a mover right out of the " How to race " By Fernando Alonso, pure genius, and to be fair the guy in P2 should have seen that coming
The guy in P2 when he saw him brake should have pinned it LOL!
Good Race from both of you. Both had the same strategy not leading into the busstop at the last lap.
The move was absolute genius and legit. Nothing to complain about. Downside it won't work again. Next time you'll both parking before the busstop waiting for the other to move 😂
I was afraid you were going to brake check in front of him from the video title. Genius move 🧠🧠🧠
Great race to watch with both of you working out how to win. It’s no different than the guy behind feinting to go one way and then switching to the other. Brilliant racing and I would use that technique but Im always at the back so never get the chance 😂

Thank you mate 😁
Old bloke showing his experience. Well done and i actually which I was as experienced as you are 😊
Genius! He had similar thoughts and the reason he didn't overtake you, but compromised himself...
Just having the right strategy and being a quick thinker when Paul didnot do as you anticipated. I liked the move.
Solid move! You gave him an option to pass, he chose not to and you went on with it after he slowed too much.
Very Alonso-esque in my opinion. You ran your strategy, he ran his. Fair play!
nah, that was pretty good move imo and just disrupting the leapfrog game. unsportsmanlike would have been if you break checked him or tapped him to spin out or didnt give room in corners, etc.
If you were a Spaniard named Fernando Alonso, you’d get three penalty points in a 20 second penalty after the race.
Just watched. Brilliant racing and very defensive on the last lap got you the win. The guy in second I think underestimated you. I suspect he will learn from that and do something different next time.
Cheers.
Great move Dave, caused him to miss his brake point and over brake. It was a genius move Dude, mark one up for Dave.😎
lmao that one actually got me laughing. Played him like a fiddle Dave, very well done.
Well played! That is clean and a brilliant move.
Always like your style, but as an added information stream, could you show a small map so viewers can sort of see whats going on (mostly) behind? Cheers
Great tactic Dave! All fair game in my opinion.
If that was cricket it would have been the infamous underarm Dave! 😂
Unintentionally cleverness right there Dave 👏🏻👏🏻
lol, I love it. I had no idea what you were planning. I kept wondering what on earth you could be planning, because if he's behind after the bus stop, that's it. there's no saving it. that was beautiful. I think if I was him I would both be mad and have massive respect haha
Definitely not unsporting, beautifully thought through and executed, making sure you didn't brake test him (which of course would have been completely unsporting 😂😂) Great race, really enjoyable, and "a bit of slide action for the fans!" 😂😂
Fantastic tactic. You braked differently but he wasn’t behind you so not unsafe. Legitimate move.
It was a matched sprint. perfect move.
Brilliant move. Clean and effective.
Nice move!you can tell he was suprised!
nothing wrong with a bit of strategy, yours worked his didnt. great win
Definitely in the Genius category , its mind games as much as it is skill , well done !
Genius. He should have read you were likely gonna try that and just pressed on
I thought that was a brilliant move Dave. You where not going to win unless you did something. But I bet he felt gutted and robbed lol😂
Perfect strategy !! He chose his you decided yours ... well done !!
Genius. Didn't work as planned, but it worked! :D
Ah Dave the old man has still got it, great move.
Nothing wrong, nothing unsportsmanlike. Max Ver did the same thing at the same spot. Fernando did this too. Great move😂
I just laughed out loud on the train at your early brake into the bus stop
My tuppence worth, I think it was a great move, a little fortunate on your side as quite easily could have backfired on you if he sailed past, taken the line and actually built up the same gap you did. Great race, fantastic move for the win.
Yep it was a risk, but my only realistic way of a race win 👍
Big brain stuff there Dave! I liked it.
Played him like a fiddle. Nothing dirty there
Proper move, he had a great idea, yours was just better.
I would just put that under good "Race Craft" bruv. Well done!!!
That was pure genius Dave!
Genius move Dave!! Cheers!!
Lovely move by Dave "The Genius" Cameron. :)
I would say Race Craft. Good on you both for the breakaway!
For me it was a genius move. Absolute legit!
Wow.. that was an Alonso-level move
Alonso was my fave F1 racer in the day. Just watch his corner entries.... no messing.
Sneaky Mr. Cam.
That was an interesting move and no mistake.
I know Izzy Eckerslike's brother, his name is Willie. 🤣
Very nice! Nothing unsport about it It's not like you break checked him or something. Just a smart attempt!
A cheeky move, but so Genious! A win is a win! 🏆
Genius move Dave, love it.
Legit and commonly used racing move. Only reason for the guy in position two to be mad is that fact he didn’t think of it.
You’re no better than Max and Lewis 😂😂. Nice video Dave
spectacular move. you used his plan against him. If he'd stayed pinned and gone for it he might have left you standing
I love your videos Dave, was even in one, but I'm a F1 fan.
Funny accent man did the Max Verstappen trick 👏
Definitely genius - great move Dave
Wiley Coyote, Super Genius!
Excellent move Dave! 👍
Good move Dave! Keep'er Lit!

Just catching up with these races. 😂 That worked out beautifully 👌 I think he was thinking the same thing so i think its fine 👍
Nice job Maverick 😉
nice move Dave :) Lovely!
'No Dave No! That's so not right!'
Dave, you can be my wingman anytime.
Absolute Genius move!!!!!
Great move mate that was genius 😅
I don’t think that was unsportsmanlike at all. Was a great move and worked out well!
Nah, you're good mate. don't fret about it.
extremely well played
That was great!
Dave, simgrade pedals or simlabs??? What better
cheeky but got the job done, nice one
A wonderful maneuver.
Genius... Evil genius, but genius nonetheless. I tip my hat to you, sir.
I like it Dave... tee hee. Obviously it worked because there were just 2 of you. With 3 or more in a pack it's a different ball game.
Yeah I wouldn't have done it in a pack 😁
BRILLIANT!
GENIUS
Biggest Brain on iRacing
what is the overlay that has the weather info in game?
If you are talking about the ones above his relative on the right bottom then they are all racelabs
Nice strategy!
what a move davve
Genius move!
What a move!!!
Video title in top left covers the #1 position.
I'm not sure what you mean?
Genius move mate if I was Paul I’d be cursing you politely. Basically you clever Bastard haha
Gg mate
Hahaha that was a GG WP if there ever was one!
