I’ve done a few wet races in my time, but NEVER anything quite as bad as this Assetto Corsa Competizione rain experience. It is pouring down at Zolder for this Go Setups GT3 Sprint on Low Fuel Motorsport.
I usually try to avoid ACC wet races, however this might be my only chance to race this week, so I’ve got no choice but to grin and bear it. Qualifying went well, and I’ll be starting from P10 on a stacked grid of 29 cars.
Usually, I like to set a target of where I want to finish, but not today! Just getting to the finish line in this ACC LFM race will be a miracle…

I need thermal goggles for these conditions 😁

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Haha 🤣 Yeah. I never realised how much I relied on the basics in sim racing… like being able to see the track!

@duanejones9354 Месяц назад

I'm with you on the wet weather, Chris! I'm all for realism but there comes a point when it's more hard work than fun!

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Yeah! Concentrating more on surviving, than racing!

@Sebastian-vz2qj Месяц назад

Commentary is the cherry on top, never dissapointing! You should get in touch with the LFM guys to start commentating their tournaments live, nice race man.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I do get a few offers to do commentary, but I’m always a bit short on free time, so rarely able to commit 😃

@nocommentaryjustgaming Месяц назад

@@Sebastian-vz2qj Indeed! The commentary he does sure adds the extra touch of emotion! 😎

@Ben_LaBroca Месяц назад

Wowza those are some tough conditions. Great that you kept going after being drilled, but that incident was unforgivable really - you can’t just plough in to a heavy braking zone like that!

@DeeJOldskool Месяц назад

I think the worst part was it had to be obvious they came in too hot and could have easily not turned in to avoid the collision. Definitely report worthy.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Yeah, that was the bizarre thing, it would have been so easy to abort the turn and just keep going straight, through the gravel. I did end up reporting it, and he accepted it, so got the usual SR/time penalty.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Cheers Ben, I was actually really surprised that the car was still so easily driveable afterwards. At the time, I felt sure it would be race over. But I was able to salvage a pretty fun race from it. They must make these Lambos tough!

@ericjack3218 Месяц назад

Rain races are tough!!! At least you survived until the end. It still raises my hackles when I see people hitting/spinning other drivers and continuing on at full speed like that's a legit way to make a pass. Grrr.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Yeah, there were a lot of things wrong with that shunt! At the time, I was more annoyed that he didn’t wait for me (or even apologise afterwards). But several people here have pointed out… why didn’t he just go around my outside when he realised he’d braked too late. He continues to turn in and hit me, when it would have been easier to abort the turn and run straight on, over the gravel. Really annoying. Anyway, at least it didn’t ruin my race. Cost me a few positions, but that’s all.

@ericjack3218 Месяц назад

@@chrisrogerssimracing I hate to say it, but that's why I just have no interest in racing on LFM anymore. Or any other "public" lobbies. There's no accountability. Inconsiderate drivers don't care because there's no reprimands. They probably won't ever see those people they just shunted again. They are either careless, unskilled, or actually get their jollies by ruining other people's fun. I'm racing one night a week in a league, which is great because we get to know each other and are held accountable for our driving. If I want to drive more, I think I'd search for additional leagues to join. I'm just glad he didn't meatball your car so you were at least able to finish.

@TheFlying-Scotsman Месяц назад

I've never done any sim racing in the rain and that race is exactly why. Serious kudos for bringing it home, and in some style too after getting rammed up the jacksy early doors.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you, yeah it was pretty stressful on that opening lap. Completely lost my bearings. In a strange way, the hit actually helped settle me! When I rejoined, because I was at the back, the pressure was off and I was able to find a rhythm.

@neiledwards6149 Месяц назад

I know it’s a pain but you have to report that #2 Ferrari. He was red mist driving after his earlier incident I think. Way to fast into the corner is one thing but then not waiting for you is just rude and disrespectful. Good clean racing from you throughout.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Hey Neil, yeah I’ve already put a report in. Just checked the results again now and he’s been penalised 10 seconds so must have accepted it. Sadly he was a bit further ahead of me than that at the end, so it wasn’t enough to give me a position back. I totally understand that mistakes get made in these conditions, and wouldn’t have reported him if he’d waited (or even said sorry afterwards - but I didn’t receive anything). Cheers 😃

@studio9guy Месяц назад

Wow!! Well done, Chris. I can't be bothered racing in the rain - or in the dark for that matter. This race was white knuckle all the way!

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Me too Dave! If I see ‘rain cloud’ or ‘23.00’ in the race details, I’ll walk on by! For this race, it was one of the Real Weather races… the website said the chance of precipitation was low. Clearly they got that one wrong 🤣

@Walt1119 Месяц назад

NO Thanks!!! I had a race w rain and it was at night, couldn't see a thing the whole race, and that I said was the last event like that I would run and I still hold that same thought! They are just no fun for me so I'll pass!!! Thanks for sharing with us Chris!

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Yes, far too much concentration needed for my liking! I don’t mind concentrating on racing the cars around you, but when you have to factor in puddles, grip, zero visibility and the like… too much like hard work!

@SamToulouse Месяц назад

Since we can't see anything either, it is basically a video of the Lambo dashboard and you still managed to make it entertaining!

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

@nocommentaryjustgaming Месяц назад

What a dramatic race! Got me glued until the very end. It was a demanding race indeed, and the important thing its that you have made it to the end (and with some bruises). Looking forward to see what you will bring next time! Greetings from Portugal 😎💪

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you for tuning in! Hopefully the next adventure will take place on a dry track!

@nock-racing Месяц назад

Great race and commentary as always Chris. Considering you said you normally avoid the wet weather races, you did a great job, driving sensibly and (for the most part) avoiding all the drama around you.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you. Yeah, I classed survival as a success!

@lewisgordon1490 Месяц назад

Reminds me of one of the scariest crashes I've seen. It was among the few road races in NASCAR, at COTA. Visibility was about the same as in this race, maybe even slightly better. It was the second lap, so the cars were still bunched up. A car 2 cars ahead was going very slowly for some reason. The car just in front of the one w/ the onboard camera, swerves out of the way, but the car w/ the camera doesn't and stays full throttle. When you can see the slower car, he has ~ 1/4 sec to move his right foot to the break (on these cars the left is often only used for the clutch to shift the 4 speed H-pattern.) At a very small fraction of a second the driver gets his foot on the break b4 hitting the slower car. By the time they hit, their speed difference is nearly 90 mph😵 (88 mph diff if I remember correctly)😱

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

To be honest, I’m amazed there weren’t more crashes like that in this one. On the first lap, I felt sure I was going to get 6-7 freebies no problem, but everyone was sensible. Then I think they got a little complacent, because the mistakes soon started on lap 2. Just a shame I got involved in one of them.

@ashwinnat666 Месяц назад

Awesome commentary and even better racing! Great job avoiding incidents in lap1. I have no idea how you managed to complete the lap incident free with zero visibility. That looked like something straight out of a horror movie

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you! Yeah, honestly, I thought if I took it easy and stayed out of trouble on that first lap, I’d pick up a good 7-8 freebies. I couldn’t believe not one person ahead span out! I guess people then got complacent after that, as the mistakes then started! It was a tough challenge, for sure.

@meisterlaggersimracing Месяц назад

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

I don’t blame you, Tony! I won’t be in a hurry to do it again. It was nice to try something different, but it took far higher levels of concentration than I’m capable of giving 🤣

Good driving in very heavy rain mate. Good recovery drive too

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you Joe! It was terrifying on the opening lap, you could see how paranoid I was about crashing by the way I was driving. But after the shunt, I relaxed a little more and found a decent rhythm.

@daviddavies3637 Месяц назад

All cars should be painted luminous blue like that Porsche. I keep hoping for rain but haven't had a rainy race this week. Only the odd minor error in this one. You skills have definitely improved. I would criticise the guy who hit you because there was no real excuse for it apart from a lack of concentration. He was so far back that the spray wasn't affecting his ability to spot his braking point.

@andygunner8531 Месяц назад

Wow that looked crazy. Ive not tried rain yet, if i may ask do u just use the basic wet set up or do u have your own wet set up. Keep up the great work 👍 you're now my favourite sim racer youtuber along side rory and jardier.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Wow, that’s some elite company to be put alongside, thank you! For this, I just switched to the in-game default wet setup. The only change I made was to TC - by default in the wet, it’s set at 8, which felt way too slow out of corners. I ended up settling for TC5, which felt safe but not too slow. At a push, I could have run with TC4 but the chances of a spin would have increased!

@Teqqlesdoessimracing Месяц назад

I'm surprised everyone was driving the dry line, perhaps a side effect of the way ACC does rain? I tend to drive a little off of the line of the cars in front just so I can see in these tricky conditions and hunt for grip off the apex. A bit of a drowning more than a baptism but not a bad result considering the attempted murder!

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

I’m very limited with my wet weather experience, but didn’t really notice any difference in grip between the racing line and the wetter line. Yeah, most of the times I moved over onto the wetter part, it was purely to get out of the spray! These types of conditions are a bit too challenging for my tastes though 🤣

@jester3265 Месяц назад

These wet conditions from the cockpit, the visibility is terrible however, its alot different if you drive from bumper cam or other exterior cameras. Hopefully all drivers were driving from the same position so as to keep a fair field. Great race!!

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Great point, I didn’t even think about that. Imagine it would be a much clearer view without the wet windscreen and wipers going.

I'm in a similar boat. I've managed to avoid the rain so far, but I need to give it a go at some point. The lack of visibility is terrifying.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Yeah, I understand the appeal when you do loads of races per week and rain offers a bit of variety. But for me, I only race a few times, so I prefer the dry - I want to concentrate on racing other cars, and not concentrate purely on surviving 🤣

@Hiroschima Месяц назад

For the whole last lap I was sat frozen, brew halfway between the table and my mouth, what a great battle. I think you can walk away from that race happy with your performance, there was certainly some others in there racing like it was dry and that ruins it for the rest. I haven't had the time this week to do any LFM, how on earth do you figure out how much TC and ABS to run in the wet...i haven't braved a wet race yet 😅

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you! I just chose the default wet setup and ran with that. The only thing I changed was the TC - it’s dialled up to 8 in that default wet setup, which was WAY too slow, even in these conditions. So I just kept dialling it down a notch on my opening qualifying lap, until I found where I was comfortable (5). I reckon I could have managed with 4, but 5 felt a bit safer!

@raggiezockt Месяц назад

That's really hard to race in these conditions. I would never could race in this weather. Holy moly. But it was a nice race. You didn't give up. You gave your best. 😊 I have two questions. Can you make a quick tour about your setup? And did you tried out rennsport? Got today my first podium there. 2nd. Place. I'm really happy with it. It's quite hard to drive with hot Tires but I managed to get 2nd place at the end.

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Sure, I did a rig tour video last year. To be honest, calling it a ‘rig tour’ is a bit of an exaggeration… I don’t have a permanent rig! I just use my normal work desk, and fold out a chair when I want to race. You can see it being set up in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWFluvWhZe8.htmlsi=xx1COLrrZmlJsvIL As for Rennsport, I’ve not downloaded or tried it yet. I hadn’t really considered trying it, but can you race online already, on decent-sized grids? If there’s the chance of a good online race, I’ll definitely give it a go.

@@chrisrogerssimracing yes you can race online, grid is I think 20 players. Maybe a little more. Not sure, didn't looked at it really xD. I like it. Ranking system is online. You need 5 races to get your ranking. High ABS is meta ATM. Will look at your "rig" tour video then

There’s a reason why there are very few wet races on my channel! I don’t enjoy them at all! When I’m looking for races to enter, usually I’ll just avoid any rain or night conditions. I understand why serious racers like them… if you’re racing 30-40 times a week or more, wet races offer a bit of variety and a different challenge. But when I’m only racing a few times a week, I prefer it to be dry. Sadly, this week, this one was my one window of opportunity to get an ACC race in.

More fun than in the dry... balancing the car on the very limit of grip in slippy conditions, track changing every single lap, strategy during cutover periods, using different lines and hunting for grip all of the time, mistakes punished more.

@Daniel_cste Месяц назад

unfortunate with the hit from behind, nothing you were able to do here. That's what happens when drivers try to drive over their own ability and that's why i love your videos, because you don't. You rather have a safe race where you can still test the waters in new conditions, as compared to others who just try to brake normally as if they drive in normal dry conditions. you could have probably been a bit more aggressive on the start but i much rather see your approach than the likes of the #2 Ferrari

@chrisrogerssimracing Месяц назад

Thank you mate, that’s very kind of you to say. On that first lap, that’s the most nervously I’ve driven in a long long time. It actually took the crash to calm me down, once I’d rejoined having been taken out, I found it much easier to settle and find a rhythm. A bit less spray helped too!

@JasonWMorningwood Месяц назад

The Ferrari missed the braking point by like 20-40m, that's not down to the conditions, that's just him not being focused. The decision to try to make the apex even when it was 100% clear that someone was there was not the smartest thing either. Whether or not he waited for you at that point was irrelevant, because he already proved that he needs to go back to the basics and maybe reconsider trying to make a turn, that can't be made with the speed he was carrying. In the end, if he had just gone straight after realizing he missed the braking, he would have finished higher than he did, as well as not taking anyone down with him. Missing a braking point is a simple mistake, the decisions he made afterwards were awful.
