The MOST INTENSE race of my life!! | iRacing F3 at Watkins Glen 

Yeah I think I lost sight of that during the race. I did know it, but some of the time I just got stuck there following slipstream of others, and then others made a bad decision! You live and learn! Thanks for watching buddy!

@@Ben_LaBroca that living in the racing moment, I know what you mean. Keep up the great content 🤘

@@Xanclarkers ah thanks man - really appreciate the support 💪

Ah legend! I thought that’s what it was but didn’t know if I was imagining it!! Thanks buddy!

Ah thank you man - really appreciate the kind feedback. I definitely recommend the F3, generally the driving standards are good and it’s such a fun experience to drive and race in. Hope to see you on track one day!

Ah thanks Rachel - great to race together again! Yeah he made me nervous ever since the dive bomb in the early laps!

Haha Thanks man - I'm not so sure...I came out of it traumatised!!

Haha thanks Gabriel - it was super stressful!!

Ah thanks man - yeah it’s been amazing starting to run the F3 this season! Can still be crazy but when it’s good it’s very good!

Thanks Paul buddy! I have to say it's right up there with my favourite sessions on iRacing - even if it was incredibly stressful!

Thanks Tom buddy!

Thanks man - yeah I reckon if I'd been able to stay in touch with the top ten then maybe like 8th or something was achievable. The top 5 had mad speed, but other than that it was very very close in qualifying.

Ha yeah I think I’m as guilty as anyone of this on reflection - too caught up in the lap to lap scraps. Nice work on the WR!

Thanks Matias! I thought I recognised your name from the grid!

Thanks Tomaz! Glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers man!

Me too mate!! 😂😂

On reflection I definitely did a few times yes! Thanks for watching buddy 👍👍

Hey buddy - I’ve never been sure if they take action against anything which isn’t like a deliberate wreck?

@@Ben_LaBroca Yes they do.

Hey Max - I’m not sure I follow, at some point you crash into the driver ahead if you don’t pull out of their slipstream. So is your advice to ease off and stay tucked in behind through the right hander at the end of the back straight, rather than look to overtake there?

@@Ben_LaBroca yes, play the throttle as much as possible behind the car upfront, and if u want to overtake, do it on the entry of the corners (make sure u have enough top speed to be side by side at this time). In case there are more than 1 car infront of you, try to slipstream the faster one or the further one from you, that way u can maintain the acceleration from the slipstream. For defending: if theres another car in front of you, keep following his slipstream instead of trying to defend on the inside. That way, when the car behind try to pull off of u on the straight to try to overtake wont have enough top speed because of the drag, while u're still in slipstream. And then u can battle it out in the corner with much better entry speed and line. 0.7 to 0.9 gap already have a lot of slipstream imo around watkins glen. Ah and another thing, i think u're the type of drivers that go into the corners fast and kinda compromise the exit. During the race, it'd be ur best interest to have better exit speed than the car infront of you at any time during the lap, that way you're always reedy to overtake them at the end of the straights and into the corners, that way u wont be tucked behind slow cars for too long and u can also defend with better speed at the end of a straight when u r leading with no cars in front of you

@@maxverschlafen3583 thanks for this mate - v much appreciate you taking the time, it’s really helpful! I’ll be taking these points into future races for sure!

Ah thanks Eirik mate - appreciate that! But then without the crazy rejoiners and dive bombs we wouldn’t appreciate when the racing is good as much! 😅
