I ran a hosted session with like 15 Supercars drivers a couple years back. I load up that replay file anytime I need a good laugh. Aussies and Kiwis elevate banter to an absurd level, like impossible to drive laughing in tears.
I've finally achieved my life long goal of becoming a biggest winner in a dave cam video! Good race mate, you're very quick for someone who doesn't drive these cars often haha
Lovely to see you in arguably Australia's greatest export Dave! If you fancy jumping in a league race with a bunch of similarly talented Aussies (Mon or Tues evenings Down Under time), let me know and I'd be glad to organise a wildcard drive. Would be an absolute privilege to chat to you in my commentary booth too! 🤟
One awesome thing about driving these cars is the confidence you have when you drive something with more grip afterward. I use them to warm up for other races sometimes. It really works well for getting me loosened up and in touch with what the car is doing.
These are so great! They handle a fair bit better than the old ones; you can put the power down and really control the slides; the racing is really close as folks are all making slight mistakes and dynamic corrections on every lap. And the sounds 🤤
Nice. You were wise to have a backup ready, Jimbo is known to make the occasional mistake with fuel. It's really hard to estimate laps remaining in these fixed time races, especially multiclass, lots of corner cases... and you never know what can happen. I'm surprised Jimbo didn't tell you your tire wear in the pits, I'm guessing you turned off those sorts of messages.
@@davecamyt maybe he got nervous and forgot. He was too busy telling you that you were about to run out of fuel, even though you'd already come into the pits, you could tell he was all out of sorts with the extra pressure.
@Dave Cam thank you very much for all your videos during the year! They are all highly enjoyable thanks to your personality. Merry Christmas to you, Julie and your clan. Love from New Zealand. Gonna have to buy the new gen3 supercar now.. cheers
I like this class so much I went looking for the MPI wheel and a button box replica/reproduction. Turns out the wheel is not sold to the public and is twice the price of the "replica" and noone makes a copy of the button box for the wheel. Talk about a bummer
Don't think he was actually mad at him for the start (completely reasonable move with the better launch)? Just remembering who he had been ahead of to measure if he could get it back
You can take all 4 tyres in a pit stop as they are done at the same time as the fuel. Have you timed it Dave, as a 35+ liter stop should cover all 4. Lol I should have waited till after your pit stop 😂
You said "what's the fastest pit stop" as u were entering pits and thinking out loud. At the same time, your car started making a horrendous sound as u reached pit road speed and I swore you were goong to ask "wtf is that sound?" Cuz that's what I was thinking.
Dave when you tested. You drove more confident and better in the Chevy then the Mustang, is that cause you we r getting used to the drive?? Or would you say the Chevy was a bit easier?? Lol. I'm buying one tonight. But most of what I'm seeing om track have been the Mustangs. Lol. Buying one tonight. Wanted your feedback
Aussie timeslots add a level of realism I enjoy very much. Bazza and Dazza earbashing over comms is always good for a few laughs.
Definitely! So funny, I once ran Bathurst with aussies and I nearly lost the car due to a laugh attack

Mate you need to use the sequential shifter instead of the paddles, its part of the visceral experience of the V8s!

That might just be possible with the time zone difference. It'd be a blast 😁
@@davecamyt I'll reach out!
These cars brought so many new names to the series and I’m glad that Dave Cam is one of those names😀👍🏻
Couldn't have clicked on this video faster!! Been running this combo all week and what insane fun. Glad to see you enjoying them Dave!

Go on Dave! 100k very very soon. Hope you and Jules have a lovely Christmas 👍👍
I went from a 3 win streak in the M2 to coming last in the Supercars. Definitely a great leveller and a true humbler.
Love the new supercars. Pretty fun at the Glen too
These are so great! They handle a fair bit better than the old ones; you can put the power down and really control the slides; the racing is really close as folks are all making slight mistakes and dynamic corrections on every lap.

Always take 4 tyres in the Supercars, Dave. Fuel covers the tyre change.
Best cars on the service hands down!
Merry Xmas Dave and Jules!
Looking forward to more great videos in the new year!
Cheers
Thanks Dave, I really enjoyed that one. Merry Christmas!
Cheers, Sev
Very good Watkins race - as always - video. Enjoyable to watch.

No I didn't turn it off. He normally chirps up 😁
@@davecamyt maybe he got nervous and forgot. He was too busy telling you that you were about to run out of fuel, even though you'd already come into the pits, you could tell he was all out of sorts with the extra pressure.
As an American I hope these cars stay popular! Holy smokes so much fun!
Isn’t the series Australian?
@@rastamoto Yes, but he is talking about the cars.
Merry Christmas, Julie and Dave. Have a great day.
Imagine this combo with the bus stop chicane. :D
'Goal for today...beat Michael Campbell' lol
Real shame we didn’t race the Bus stop configuration in these cars
I will watch the video later because of holidays, but i have to say, amazing to see you drivikg these cars!
@Dave Cam thank you very much for all your videos during the year! They are all highly enjoyable thanks to your personality. Merry Christmas to you, Julie and your clan. Love from New Zealand. Gonna have to buy the new gen3 supercar now.. cheers
Thank you mate. Merry Christmas buddy 😁
Merry Christmas Eve Dave to whatever time zone you are in!!! 🎅 🎄.
And to all the viewers 💯!!!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

These cars look fun, but it's too bad they don't have most of the active tracks from the series today. Especially Albert Park!
You must be like Hammond... an undercover American! 😂
Do they feel like every other car in IRacing?(they all drift around the corners?
Hi Dave. Curious to know how much advantage you feel you're getting with the active brake pedal.
All the best to you and yours
I wouldn't say it's a massive advantage, however I'm much more consistent 👍
i raced michael campbell5 last night in production. he wasnt a bad driver. think he just saw you light em up off the jump
Don't think he was actually mad at him for the start (completely reasonable move with the better launch)? Just remembering who he had been ahead of to measure if he could get it back
If I'm honest shutting off CrewChief helped my driving. As much as I loved Sweary Jim I found it a distraction more than an assist
Nothing at all like the GT3s Dave, what?!
You can take all 4 tyres in a pit stop as they are done at the same time as the fuel.
Have you timed it Dave, as a 35+ liter stop should cover all 4.
Lol I should have waited till after your pit stop 😂
OMG. Better car then Porsche Cup? What is the difference between in yours opinion?
You said "what's the fastest pit stop" as u were entering pits and thinking out loud. At the same time, your car started making a horrendous sound as u reached pit road speed and I swore you were goong to ask "wtf is that sound?" Cuz that's what I was thinking.
Wait till Ringmeister week 4 Dave. I think I'll go to 5k iR haha
Hi! Auto blip or not?
These look great fun but the schedule for the rest of the season is a bit naff. No Bathurst for the first season of the new Supercars? Come on now
Dave when you tested. You drove more confident and better in the Chevy then the Mustang, is that cause you we r getting used to the drive?? Or would you say the Chevy was a bit easier?? Lol. I'm buying one tonight. But most of what I'm seeing om track have been the Mustangs. Lol. Buying one tonight. Wanted your feedback
From what I've read they are absolutely identical (apart from the body shape) so I must have just been getting used to it 😁
They're completely identical. I went Chevy based on liking the in-car sound better 👍
How do you get your race engineer to use your real name and give so much information so frequently?
Make sure to remove your Honey extension so Dave can get his money!
You should drive them like the dog box how they do in real life
What is he doing wrong?
Wait a minute....haven't you been driving this Coyote Mustang almost constantly over the past couple of weeks?
Well Jimbo got demoted wasn't he? Or just quitted, don't know. New voice just isn't crewchief 😢
"gt3 on steroids" you mean gt2? 😆
What kind of split is this? In my races, if you aren't doing 1:47s, you are going to be dead last in a 3k SoF...
The guys at the front weren't going that much quicker. Maybe a hotter track.
Should I buy supercars I am worried the series will die out
Be a part of the solution not the problem! Go for it! Even if it 'dies' there will always be a community that will make certain time slots happen
i racing graphics are horrible for the price you pay in i racing
