What's neat with these races is that if you do multiple races in the same week, the conditions will change. So you had a decently wet race all the way through here, my race last night started on a dry track and gradually became more wet over the ~30 minutes from a light rain. You had to keep figuring out how much you can push each lap. Some races it may just stay dry all the way through. Never quite know what you're going to get!
Loving seeing you do these rainy races, good stuff.
My first race at Summit Point in the rain was pouring at 7,8,9 and was sunny and drying up at turn 1. It was amazing!
I ran my first official rain race last week at Brands in the GR86. I was quite nervous. I found myself 4th in qualifying, a full 3 seconds off the pole sitter.
The pole sitter had pace, but as you have said in the past, keep it clean and you can gain spots. He spun and quit on lap 2. I spent the entire race learning the track as it dried, searching for grippier surfaces. It was fantastic.
I ended up winning by 12 seconds. The track never dried, but my lap times improved, my last lap being nearly a full second faster than any prior lap. Lap times varied among the top five by as much as three seconds/lap, on any given lap.
Some corners we took the racing line for optimal trajectory. Others we took well off line for optimal grip.
I previously ran a practice session on the Formula Ford at Ledenon. It was a damp track that was drying. It was a joy seeing the lap times fall lap after lap, figuring out when we could use the dry line and how hard to push it. Lap times would fall by a full second at times, depending on the state of the track. It's a whole new dimension to sim racing.
I personally just crank the grip hack up to give me dry levels of grip at all times, my competition is always shocked & asking for tips.
I'm loving the rain! it adds so much to the immersion. iRacing has done a great job with it!
Indeed it is!
I'm not a huge fan of the dirt side of iracing but the way the track evolved dependant on where people drove just blew my mind. I had such hopes that the rain would utilize that functionality, and wow did they deliver!
Great comeback and very entertaining last lap.
I've been binge watching your recent Iracing videos recently. Incredible stuff. You're an amazing racer . Great recovery drive here
Thank you, but I just get lucky I think 😁
@@davecammcome on mate, you’re definitely skilled! You have great awareness and patience
Nice racing Dave, very enjoyable.
I've only done a little Week 13 racing in the rain but I absolutely enjoyed it! Was hoping to run Sebring 12hr but just didn't get it together. Rain is good!
Great race Dave, I hope one day I'll be able to race like that, Ohh BTW will you start making track guides for the new tracks for either Mazda's or GR86's I'm trying to learn the tracks but the one you were making back then were so easy to follow. Thanks and again great race!
Raced this combo twice last night and holy hell is it a great time!
Lift and blip shifting is so fun in this thing.
Love the rain, done right.
Rain was crazy, but manageable.
I started our race and ran a triple for Sebring 12H and Tropical Storm Bertha rolled through the first probably 90 mins of the race. I Had done practice, team practice, AI practice but never an actual race. Once you got a good flow down and learned after a spin or two what not to do, it wasn't bad. 2/3 of my stints were wet and we managed. We Timed the stop right and put wets on and there were still quite a few cars out still on dry and you could just pass through them like you were on rails.
I'm glad I got to do a couple stints in the wet in race conditions, learned a TON more than I would have doing a couple of one off races on a Friday night
Insane race. Awesome 👌 👏🏾 👍🏾
Love the rain, but only brave enough to race AI at the moment! Great come back Mr. DC 😊
In the famous words of Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott: 🎶 I can't stand the rain🎶... But I love watching you flailing around in the wet. Keep em coming.
Great post. DOPE!
I ran some practice laps in the Super Formula Lights (what a car!) at Road Atlanta in the rain today. Holy crap was that tough. I'm usually within a second or so of the top pace in that car, but today my best was around a 1:30 and the fastest in the session was a 1:24! Just...HOW?! Racing in the rain is very humbling.
T'was a good recovery drive🥳
Great Race Dave, it was nice having the chance to race you. Shame I threw it away with the lock up as it could have been a good battle! See ya online again soon :)
Unlucky Thomas, really tough combo on the limit 🫤
Is that the sim lab rig? Because the wheel base mount looks like it has some flex.
122 BPM peak... You're one cool cookie Dave!
Dave - Been iRacing for about a year, finally signed up to unlock RaceLabs … and yes I used your code. - Dean
Legend 👍
How can we learn to make a setup? Especially in AsettaCorsa
What wheel are you using there??
Dave, I always notice that CrewChief announces the IR and SR of the next car in front of you. Ive looked everywhere, but cant seem to find where to set that. Could you fill me in...or are you using a hotkey?
I'm using the beta version of crew chief so I presume it's an unreleased new feature 👍
Find the beta on the crew chief site v4. 18
Have a look at a piece of software called DRE (Digital Race Engineer) it has had that feature for a long time now. Also have tons of cool features that CC and other spotters don't. And the voice recognition is almost flawless.
(Speaking as a CC dev) It’s confusing, Crew Chief _beta_ just adds LMU, Dave is using the _Release Candidate_ which has a load of new features as well.
@@TonyWhitleythanks for your work!
In the uk we get a lot of rain. I’ve deleted the game. My one safe dry place gone.
Hahahaha good one!
How do you find the Asetek wheelbase with the FF1600?
I have a LaPrima and I can’t get it to feel smooth at all, almost undrivable.
Care to share your settings?
What are your settings currently? I have a Forte and may be of help
Next time I'm on the rig I'll post up what they are 👍
I’m using the Asetek recommended settings now which feel great with the Porsche cup and the F4. I’ve tried all kinds with the ff1600 and it’s just rubbish whatever I do, unless I turn the wheelbase strength down to 6nm.
Road pain,
In rain,
New peak,
Heartbeat.
Have they updated the rain since release? When it first came.. you couldn’t use the dry line (which is what made me it more realistic to me) but now everyone’s just taking the normal line
You can get away with a bit more in the formula ford as it just has one tyre type 👍
I have watched so many of your tutorials on iRacing, but i still have a lot to learn. I have been on the service since the end of February, and have had some success on the NASCAR side. Is it normal to have a string of races where everything goes wrong? I feel like im doing everything right, being courteous, competitive, but end up being involved in someone's wreck.
I'm not self-pitying or anything, just trying to improve.
Yep, that's just how it is sometimes. You'll have an amazing run at some point though 😁
@@davecamm I appreciate it sir!
Whats the best way to find rain races? I only find them after you drove them 🙂
It's random...
these guys are......😳........these guys are battling
Thanks Dave for telling us what setup you are driving with and what you have modified in it! This gives us a good idea of the possibilities. I'm going to give it a go!
It was the baseline wet, very tall gear ratio and you can see my brake bias at the bottom of my relative 😁
Love the rain. But Mac from P5? The smurf account is back
That last guy hit a banana peel
What's with the blacked out rear-view mirrors?
It's cool 😎
Dave doesn't look behind ...ever lol
hi dave ! Still racing the vx pro ?
Yes still testing 👍
@@davecamm Nice. Telemetry between first races and now are night and day, look like you find your setting.
I have been waiting for more reviews before buying, glad you are doing one 👌
The one million dollar questions is: Who's better? Mac Evad or Dave Cam? :)
Thank you Dave but I don’t think I can recover from being called the biggest loser from that race 😂
Sorry 😁
I just dont get enough time on iracing :(
Sometimes, to get a decent race you need to make a mistake.
I swear if I had a Jim in my ear telling my a guy's damn iRating and SR, especially if I had an overlay that showed that info already, I'd pull over mid race and shut him up. John F Kennedy does no such thing, which is why I choose him as my spotter.
Some people prefer to simulate racing a real car and not have fake overlays all over the screen, I suppose if you have JFK as a spotter you’re not interested in realism. For you, just uncheck _Enable Opponent rating info_.
I like it to play in, but it is putting me off joining races. No.1 Because I'm shit in it, and No 2. So is 90% of everyone else.
I don't know I just raced in it and everyone was very careful and it was one of the best races I have ever had in iRacing.
Avoiding it will never let you get any better. I find I pray for rain some races because it adds an extra layer of fun and variety to the race.
I find everyone is very careful and respectful in the rain. Maybe that will change in the future as everyone gets more comfortable, but as for now, it's nothing but fun
can you imagine how miserable you would feel if you had to drive like that for real?
The view in the mirrors are one of the coolest thing in iRacing, I can’t understand why so many people “creators” turn them off. Disappointing
No need when there is a great big virtual mirror which gives you (the audience) a clearer view of what's going on.
@@davecamm I get that, and the performance loss of enabling the mirrors, but man the images in the mirror are spot on! most other sims don’t show any of your own car in the mirror, which is a huge immersion breaker
Love your videos, I’m just a bit OCD when it comes to the mirrors I suppose 😂
@@racer7374 I agree, real mirrors beat a virtual mirror any day for immersion 😁
Think im in the minority, but i cant for the love of me enjoy racing in the wet
Not really a fan of it myself.
I didn't have much fun in a torrential downpour in the SF Lights, but the GT3 cars at Nordschleife was a blast
That would be a skill issue
I’m finding a great joy in it. It’s very much been the great equalizer in some of the higher splits I’ve gotten stuck in.
always the crying kids who cant cope, was the same on ACC... wait until the majority series have rain.... its literally about finding grip and not over driving the car, whats not to enjoy? and the ability to force someone to pass on the dry line, like real life, make it almost impossible to pass off line
Rain is a gimmick. can't wait for it to be a rarity rather than a common occurrence
Rain is a gimmick, on an island known for heavy rainfall? Good luck finding many days of the year to drive Okayama without a damp track
Racing isn't only about hotlapping in perfect conditions. Rain has been an awesome new challenge and frankly has been much more interesting than trying to find the last half a second while hotlapping.
@bobbymoto1675 You are entitled to your opinion.
I don't mind the occasional rain as in realism. Look around worldwide. I would guess 80% or more of races held yearly aren't affected by rain at all.
It doesn't change that ots a gimmick/fad. in a few weeks nobody will care about it.
Try the SF light at Road Atlanta. It's carnage in the rain.
Before rain was introduced, I hadn’t realized how boring iRacing actually was. Basically, the expert gamers, who had figured out their equipment and the game itself, just needed to keep nailing nearly perfect laps over and over again. With rain, other weather and changing track conditions, those gamers still have an edge, but the rest of us actually have a chance to podium since ANYONE - even the best - can misjudge a turn and make a mistake. 🟡🟢🏁 I love Okayama - always fun to watch slower cars race there. That last lap of yours was fun. 👍
