Sometimes it's chaos.. but sometimes its not! And when its not I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better online racing experience than iRacing. What started as a random "let's just in and drive", turned into an extremely enjoyable pickup race. Not bad for a random group of folks on the net!
So enjoy, 50 laps and one exciting race around Talladega in these 200+ mph beauties!

Never thought I'd watch a full 50 laps of iRacing NASCAR one day, and yet I gripped my seat for the whole duration. That was awesome!

@abicol6010 4 месяца назад

I saw your comment before watching and thought to myself "no way I watch this all the way through too." Well here I am 42 min later...

@Coach15Advo 2 месяца назад

That was awesome! I have been on iracing for 8 years and haven't done an Official Series race in 2 years, as I only run in League races. So, so much better. But this was like a league race. Very enjoyable to watch. Great Win!

The Speed Era of NASCAR was insane. Going at almost the speed of a 1980’s Indycar with over double the weight is just astonishing. It makes you think how fast the cars would’ve gone after 1987 had it not been for Bobby Allison’s crash at Talladega that year.

@xxxYYZxxx 11 месяцев назад

"Rusty Wallace completed a 2004 test for NASCAR at Talladega in which he used an unrestricted motor to complete average lap speeds of 221 mph (356 km/h) and top speeds near 230 mph (370 km/h)." Wallace noted the cars would go faster in a draft, besides tinkering from the crews, perhaps 235mph tops. Today's cars could possibly go even faster, but are said to be harder to drive.

@austinreed5805 11 месяцев назад

@@xxxYYZxxx Yeah, driving a car faster than 230mph would cause it to be incredibly unstable and tracks like Daytona and Talladega could potentially become death zones like how large ovals were for Indycar.

@xxxYYZxxx 11 месяцев назад

@@austinreed5805 Your point is why I think NASCAR is such an ideal series. Because it's not plausible to race much faster in any series, Cup cars being built like tanks can survive multi car wrecks that would destroy open wheel cars and kill the drivers.

@ironpanther2420 11 месяцев назад

220mph in a 3500lb brick on bias ply tires. All the firesuits back then had extra room sewed into the front of the pants to accommodate the enormous balls of the drivers.

@zacharyradford5552 11 месяцев назад

Don’t know how with all the downforce todays cars would be harder.

As a european I never thought I'd be so captivated for 42 minutes watching an onboard of an iRacing race with 87's nascars. But I was

Beware, for once you acquire a taste for flat-out oval racing, everything else looks slow by comparison.

@cooley1521 9 месяцев назад

I live 50 minutes south of Watkins Glen International & hearing 43 of those V8’s come flying down the backstretch before the chicane is fuckin awesome. The feeling you get on the first lap by when you get a whiff of high octane racing fuel & the sound gives me goosebumps every time. The cars exhaust pipes are also pointed towards the inside of the track so it’s much louder than on the opposite side of the track. 👍

@DVerbe 4 месяца назад

As a felow European i understand it. in 1997 me and my parents visited Daytona racetrack and I have been a fan of Nascar ever since. I hope to see a race in person next year.

@AidanMillward Год назад

I would actually get a new iracing subscription just to do the nascar stuff for banter streams.

@danesorensen1775 Год назад

Hell yes. Not all NASCAR entices me, but the chance to drive a certain red Coors Thunderbird really gets my juices flowing!

@TommyRhodes69 11 месяцев назад

Was the 18 car in this race running up front with you until pit stops (forgot to change fuel amount and screwed myself). Even though I dropped back pretty far, this was easily one of the most fun races I've done on iRacing. Glad it's recorded in full on youtube.

@thomasbrown3301 10 месяцев назад

Having been at Talladega for over 25 years, the sound of the cars engines at full song as they speed by is spot on. Amazing job

@juaja1 11 месяцев назад

I could watch this type of respectful, good iRacing content all day, specially if we're talking about "Speed Era" NASCAR

@xkingdre2xb Год назад

That was the quickest 42 minutes of my life. I watched it from beginning to end and enjoyed every second of it as per usual with your content. I'm very proud that you got that win in only your second iracing entry. Hopefully we will see more of this?

@mrbismarck 11 месяцев назад

Luckiest people in America this week : #1 Jake with 50 green flag laps in iRacing. #2 That guy who won $1.5 billion on the Powerball.

@BrandViolation Год назад

“We’ve made it two laps without a yellow flag” love it.

@jayl4565 11 месяцев назад

I would absolutely love for you to do a late 80s era NASCAR series. The speed, the looks, the technique; the speed era was unmatched. If you could do something similar to the “1966 season” series, that would be golden. This was an absolutely amazing watch, looking forward to seeing more like this.

@Mini_Celeste Год назад

As a St. Louisan, I incredibly appreciate the Imo's Pizza livery on the car that placed P2. Absolute legend! And congorts on the win! xD

Great timing for me to watch as next season in iRacing I am adding the 87s to my Lotus79 and Kamel GT series for my team mates and buddies to join and concentrate on :) I just need to work out what the best day to race the 87s is when we have good numbers during the week/weekend :)

@oneguyonechannel662 11 месяцев назад

Hands down my favorite oval car on the service. This was an amazing race, and great win. Last time i raced these we had a caution at about lap 14 or so and went green after that. I would have to go back and watch the replay but everyone ended up spread out real bad. First and second was way ahead and i was in 5th coming up on 3/4. I figured if we could draft i would be able to catch them as i was already gaining on the leaders but 3/4 were bumper to bumper running about 190 lol. I didnt slow down for them but finished the race in 3rd. Would of been sweet we if would have been able to link up and make it a race at the end.
