Gaining My License! [LFM] and Surviving My First Races? [ACC] 

It’s great to see the perspective of new drivers I started my LFM career about 5 months ago and I’m really enjoying it. One thing that I can say is that the driving standards are getting better and better the higher your safety rating gets especially after getting out of the rookie division. Thank you for being patient and being such a fair racer.

Lfm tip. While you are still in rookies, ignore track position and focus on sr. Rookie races are a nightmare. Set a goal to get your sr up as fast as possible. Little touches affect your sr. Track limits (even no time gained) affects your sr. People with low sr are psychos on track, (no matter the elo) get out of there so you can enjoy better racing.

from someone who just started sim racing 2 days ago and is trying to get his LFC license, keep uploading. its super motivating seeing a rookie like me start together :)

Hey Bradley, welcome to the ACC. Very rare to see a rookie with this calm mindset. Usually people think they can get up to speed with some hidden Senna talent in them in 20 hours and end up destroying everybody’s race.

Your video inspired me to try for my license. I'm a total noob and I've been trying to get my lap times on the Hungaroring low enough to feel comfortable taking the test. I finally broke down and tried today and passed on my first try! Only by 0.16 seconds per lap but in this case, an inch is as good as a mile! Keep these vids coming, it's really cool to see a new racer for a change posting laps.

What a fresh take on ACC! I Really appreciate the series you've started! I'm subscribing as I type and can't wait for your next video! Hopefully you can show all of us Newbies your journey and introduction to Setups/tunes. Keep up the fantastic content and thanks again!

Funny, your name rang a bell and look at that! We have already raced 2 races together in Donington Park last week. Welcome to LFM, Im also fairly new to this having just over 20 races. Fun watching you.

so i started recently as well so its awesome seeing other drivers starting off like me. good content man keep uploading. subscribed for sure

Good stuff! So unlucky with that first race. The second race shows how much door banging you can get away with in this game. So refreshing after playing iRacing and spinning out with such little contact.

Hey man, nice video and great commentary. I recommend taking a look at your assists for your 296. I believe tc2 loses you a fair bit of time. Also ABS 1 is probably too low and will leave you locking up often. I recommend using and abusing these assists and slowly moving them down. Few setup videos will get you right! Great racing, shame to see it go down that way with the fuel. There is a ton of time to be found in strategy. Keep it up!

As a relative newbie to ACC I recently got my LFM licence at Hungaroring. You were much quicker than I was! I’m also using the 296. I have only done one LFM race since, I did find it a bit of a baptism of fire and a bit off putting, so I must man up and get back out there. I think you did very well in your first two races, and I’m looking forward to following your journey. Also very much like your video format. Good luck! 👍🏻

Just ordered my first rig so right there with you getting started!

You got low fueled on Low Fuel Motorsports! Noice! Very nice racing! Congrats!

Nice video! The fuel thing happened to the best of us. For me is to do a checklist every time you get in the grid. Check fuel, tires, brakes and even if the race doesn't need to pit or change tires - always press the "use current pressure" button. From what I saw with your driving style, you'll get very fast and someday you probably will be with the top drivers. For now, keep getting new information on the track, car setups and the meta so you can focus on the race. And most important in the Rookie Series, focus mainly on gaining SR instead of position. Every track cut, even a "no time gain" will count as x1 incident point. Meanwhile every collision to another car, wall, and just a slight rubbed to the barrier will cost you x4 incident points.

nice video good mental and voice.

Mate, im a South African living in China and its been about 5 years since i raced on a sim. Recently started planning a build for a new rig and setup. But good to know there is people like you also starting off at the bottom again. Like you said your nerves where a bit high and i can say the same for myself haha But thanks for the honest content mate hopefully soon ill be joining you on track!! Keep it up and goodluck!!

I did something similar with fuel for one of my races. I had my fuel strategy for a 25 min race but forgot I was in a 45 min race 😅. Nice driving I wish I was as fast as you.

I just upgraded my sim and I’m waiting for it to come in. Watching this has me so excited to dig into competitive racing

TIP number 37 With the 296 turn of TC2 and you can run TC1 easy up to 5 or 6

Tire pressures were slightly too low and brake bias a bit too high + you kept braking too late for T1 and missing the apex. Other than that your driving was very nice for someone coming back from a long break :) The true challenge in these races is navigating all the chaos and carnage, since people often hunt position like rabid dogs but they don't have the car control or the racecraft to make the move done without colliding. A good thing to practice apart from the normal racing line is how to drive offline and where to brake in those situations, so you don't end up washing wide when making an overtake

great video m8, shame about fuel, Found myself shouting at the screen when you were on the startline "Fuel Fuel" lol done it so many times my self.

increase abs. move break bias more backwards. break at 100% longer

You can uncheck tyres so your pit would be shorter.

Go kiwi ⛳

I have a friend so consistent that he are not able to get lfm license for 2 years now :D He try every few months and give up shortly after each atempt. I did mine in 2 hours.

Are you going to eventually share your setups and how to tune in acc for beginners?

I had to get a 1 minute 48 seconds 0.7 I use the Ford Mustang and it took me 5 attempts I almost feel insulted that you are so fast for a beginner but then again I'm just some poor white guy with Logitech

Where abouts do you live to have such good ping in an LFM server? I'm an Aussie (flagged the Kiwi accent pretty quick haha) and I haven't seen any with good ping sadly

Is this the career mode for ACC? How does someone join LFM?
