Ah yes, the standard GT3 experience. Sweaty, wrecky, and unable to handle a pace lap. Really is great, honest! Follow me like a stalker! (please dont actually stalk me... duh) / emptybox_007
22:50 xD I'd be soooo mad..all because of some damage to the front left. Hahaha the ending - it reminds me of a video you did that was 15 seconds long. Rolling start and before the race even begins someone already hits you from behind.. good times.
Hey Matt can you please race at my home dirt track on iracing its the Lucas oil Speedway and can you race in the Late Model, thanks. P.S. high line is the right line there
GTs or touring cars at Brands is one of the happiest combos in all of motorsport, never gets old to drive or to watch. Glad to see you back at it, Sir Boxington
"I love it, I love it, I love it! It's grrreat! I love the way you say that at the end of the carnage report. Made me laugh! Good to see you, or hear you! :)
Brands, Oulton both are like mini Nordschleifes. I'd love to see somebody make a mod track that's a combination of the two, so you could have the true tea drinking green hell experience
Could you do an overview of the worthwhile series in current iRacing for your longtime viewers? Since you're making content I wanna get back in but I don't know what the ecosystem is like anymore.
Ferrari. It's eligible for participation in a few different series and there is a rookie Ferrari GT3 series. But it's exactly like it sounds, rookies crashing everywhere.
@@geoffsharp9611 okay, those are what I’ll go with them, thanks! The lambo gt3 cars sound so amazing in person and are by far the loudest and I’m an Audi and Volkswagen guy so that makes it easy lol
Hey Empty Box, What's up man! I'm so glad you're back on RU-vid, I've really missed your videos. Your style is so unique and I love your input on iRacing. I can't wait to see what new videos you're going to post, welcome back! Cheers, Andrew Simmonds
You are such a wealth of knowledge. I love watching your videos even if you do laps around a circuit. What are the benefits of dragging the brakes plus fluctuating the acceleration under breaking? ........ can this technique be applied everywhere?
Dragging the brakes, also known as "trail braking", is done to improve turn in. (Transfers weight towards the front of the car). I'm not sure what you mean by "fluctuating the acceleration", the only thing I can see that fits that description is the auto-blip on downshifts, which the car does automatically, as the name implies. This is done to prevent the driving wheels locking up. (The same as doing "heel and toe" with a manual gearbox). But maybe you meant something else? Anyway, these are indeed techniques that can be, and are, commonly applied in racing.
Matt take a look at your inputs. During trail-braking you are overlapping brake and throttle quiet a lot. Havent driven the Macca for some time but it should understeer during midcorner when you do this.
Bring a former sim racing steward, I couldn't help myself and look at the lap 5 overtake again: well, there was no yellow flag, so I guess it was all fair 😂
Literally the car that got me into iRacing ten years ago, in a sense. You were doing a McLaren review before Christmas 2012, IIRC, and I watched that and thought, "I should check out that iRacing thing!"
