    Love your content!
    A tiny suggestion, on a start of a replay that you do, could you do like a red circle or an arrow to show which car is yours?
    I know it might be easy to tell from the camera lock-on, but I think it'd be helpful for more casual viewers, since once we know which is yours then we can just recognize by the livery. 👍

    I just started Iracing in February and most of my time has been spent in the GR86. I think this past week racing at Road America has taught me a whole lot. Never raced a combo that was so draft dependent, got a pole but never could make it past p5 in my 5 or 6 attempts! Love the content buddy!

  • @joaoa13portugal
    @joaoa13portugal Před rokem +4

    13:35 the driver on the grey car indeed seems to be faster, but he's also unnecessarily aggressive and we can see him having at least 2 contacts throughout the race, both of which resulting in the other car getting kicked out into the grass, which in my book is more of a dick than necessarily a better driver (21:24 and 22:35). In the first one, he crossed over your line, 1) forcing you to brake and 2) ramming into the other car's back, kicking it out (had he kept his initial line, wouldn't have crossed yours nor end up rear ending the other car). In the second one, once again, he takes no care for opponents' lines and just shoves the other car away and into the grass, in a situation that could clearly have otherwise work out for both drivers by entering the corner in parallel. Extremely annoying to see such behaviour.
    Clean lines and overall clean race like you're able to have is what reflects true sportsmanship.

    • @boostedmedia
      @boostedmedia  Před rokem +2

      Thanks. Yeah he was definitely over the line a few times I’m terms of aggression which was part of the reason I didn’t defend particularly hard against him. Figured I was safer behind him and he’d probably end up taking others out ahead of me anyway.
