I am Matt O'Donnell but most people know me as True Racer. I create outrageously awesome racing videos on youtube and strive to grow and bring together the real and sim racing communities from my real life karting and racing simulator adventures. Join us as we raise the bar of how racing entertainment should be.
I started my CZcams channel to post hot-lap videos from iRacing so my fellow sim racers could learn from them (check my first 10ish videos). Soon after I realized that I truly enjoyed making the videos and interacting with the people that watched them, so I started to expand my content. First broadening my sim racing content with my best races and highlights which lead into my karting content of races and a series I like to call "A Real Karting Life" which is a mini show depicting my journey in the karting world.
Cheers
Matt / True Racer

Welcome back man!
Welcome back!
Good to see you still racing!
Great to see you back. Awesome youre racing real cars on real tracks

This is really strange, randomly watched a few of your videos this week and then you appear. Great to see you’re well.
I thought you forgot you had a CZcams Channel.
Cheers no just living the dad life and took some time off racing
Oh my god he’s at it again. iRacing misses you ;)
Cheers I’ll be back after I get the rig re setup
Excited to see the race vlog, I miss the Karting vlogs
They shut my local kart track down so that slowed me down as well as the dad life
Man it has been a long time to see you drive
Dude so good to see you back
Thanks man
watch the video josh was ahead of matt . matt came down on josh he went in too hot and spun out. matts a good driver but shit happens.!..B..
He doesn’t post anymore but I’ve always remembered this clip. Just fucking hilarious
Why would a wheel break... none of'em ever break
can blow tires girl
GREAT video. Hands down the best video regarding mounting gopro's
US Americans are so stupid....... I Love it!!!!
Absolutely the best camera mounting position video
Hey Matt, I used to watch you years ago. Hope fatherhood is treating you well
Post more videos!
Love this video
Watched some Sonoma kart videos today and wondered where tru racer has been? Hope life is treating you good and you are able to still race.
I miss your iracing races man, thanks for all contents
So are these part of the Kart rentals?
Hell no haha
fire retardant you prick!!!!!
What if you are just going to an indoor go kart area
I have a question are u related to the O'Donnell family from Hamden Connecticut. Did u ever live in Wallingford Connecticut.
This is awesome I hope I can teach my girlfriend how to drift/power slide and do donuts this was amazing 💪🏼
how do you get into those races???
all day play!
Where have you been man. Miss the content!
That´s not racing, thats a parade.
Just scrolling for answers to this as I run mine on top of my helmet. Was at our National Champs in the weekend and a guy and an end over end roll and landed on this head on the camera and sustained a serious injury because of it. The cameras were banned for helmet mount on the second day. Was sickening to see and the footage of the event has since been removed from CZcams as it was being live streamed. We race on Grass so can be rougher - that's why most use the helmet.
Hey uh I’ve been planning on getting a go pro for karting, I know I’m months late but I need affordable ones, and I want some suggestions!
60fps was the key for me! presume higher the frame rate, clearer the video?
Bro iracing is so bull shit I pay for the steam monthly payment and then they make me create a iracing account but want me to pay again
I've seen this adventure from the start (or I believe so !) and I find it such a wnderfull story !! Thanks for Sharing.
Hey Matt, I was just dealing with this yesterday. I found an average of +3 psi from cold to warm. CRG Magnesium wheels on a low grip circuit maxed out at 15 psi, not sure if that's too high for my track but, i'm working on it. Thanks for the great clip.
wow that is sketch af on the slicks lol
When you use your front panel camera do you just use the sticky stuff or do you cable tie it or anything else?
Did u end up getting a 1x9
Hey just saw this, welcome back!
LOL at the kid..... "Mini Cooper is not a race car!" He's right. Hahaha.
Your pit crew is a real cutie. Lucky man and karting as a hobby to boot.
E36, isn't it?
Elmer is a dbag lol
How did you add those side cameras in the top? It would be so useful to see whats happening left and right while racing. Or did you just afd them in post?
What brand is that track ?
Its good to see you posting again! You do such great videos.
Stoked to see you posting again. Cute kid btw
Chris Harris is gonna be proud
