- I’ve got to admit… Le Mans Ultimate is really growing on me. Sure, I’ve had some disasters in my early LMU multiplayer races. But today, I’ve had a brilliant one.
I feared the worst, coming back to Monza so soon after my last Le Mans Ultimate online race here. After all, the chances of surviving two Monza races are very slim! But I was lucky to land in a very fair and respectful grid… the battles here were sensational.

Honestly Chris. Theres no one doing it better than you right now. I've been watching Sim Racing Vids Since day 1 and your vids are of a golden format. your vids are the most exciting, best commentary and use of real time replay is fantastic. went straight to the comments when you said Gurkin in a right pickle haha! Can see this channel sitting at 100k subs easy.
That’s incredibly kind of you to say, thank you 😃 I always wanted to do something with sim racing videos that hadn’t been done before, and it’s great to see how it’s struck a chord with so many viewers. Thank you!
I agree 100%. I don’t typically watch videos of other people playing but Chris does such a great job. It makes me want to jump in my rig right away.
I'll also agree! Chris, you make the best sim racing videos out there, in my opinion. I wonder if there's a market out there for you to make videos for other leagues, and between the payment and the CZcams income, make this your job. That is... if it's something you enjoy enough to want to do that.
"Gurkin in a right pickle".... Brilliant...
I couldn’t resist it! Haha 🤣
"Jaeger has bombed!" & "Gurkin in a right pickle!" Just Top class commentary there mate lol
Haha cheers, yeah it was a gift from the commentary gods to have these two surnames on my grid 🤣
I made it into one of your videos (P4). Shocking behaviour from Vincent Simon deliberately taking out someone in front of me. Unsurprisingly, his SR was a big "0" Thanks to him, i had to race the last 10 minutes with broken steering. I was happy for P4. LMP2 are good fun.
Ahh mate, glad you made it into a vid, but a shame it wasn’t under better circumstances! Thought you did really well to save it, but really unfortunate to pick up damage. Makes P4 even more of an achievement. Still don’t know what he was doing… was he looking at you in his mirror rather than the track ahead? 🤷🏻♂️ Or from the sounds of it, maybe he was just a general menace. I didn’t show it in the replay, but he kept trying to rejoin at Ascari and eventually took out a backmarker too.
@chrisrogerssimracing with his current racecraft and lack of etiquette, he is definitely one to avoid. He also divebombed me at Ascari lap 1 and took to the gravel but didn't have to give the position back. Great video.
VAC is a real gentleman.
Yeah, it was great to have a proper fair battle with someone. Shame I ended up throwing the position away anyway, but it was a great fight.
Great race! Respect to Vac, he battled cleanly!
Full respect to Vac, it was an absolute pleasure racing with him. It’s a shame there’s no messaging function in LMU, otherwise I’d have sent him a message to say thanks
@@chrisrogerssimracing I just uploaded a short video of my last race in Raceroom. Got a bit unlucky, made me think of you :D
You are quickly becoming my favourite sim racing youtuber. Top notch commentary as always.
Ahh thank you mate, that’s very kind of you to say. Cheers for watching, really appreciate the support.
Gurkin in a right pickle" 🤣Top Level Commentary as usual Chris 🏆
Haha cheers, some names are just asking for it 🤣
Wow, an actual race and not just survival on the track. Not a sight that we get to witness very often but when we do we get races like this. Top notch 👌
I know! I knew I was due one sooner or later, but I wasn’t expecting it to be in a rookies race at Monza!
"Jaeger has bombed" and "Gurkin in a right pickle." You should be writing tabloid sports headlines. 😂 I was getting ready to congratulate you on a mistake-free race and then the last lap happened. Dammit. Good race, though. I love me some LMP2.
You know me, I’ve always got a mistake hidden up my sleeve somewhere! But generally I was really happy with my performance, and the race itself was great.
Wow! Yet another amazing race, recap, and commentary!!! Chris, I look forward to every video you post! That battle at the end with Vac was epic, and I'm glad to see it was clean and gentlemanly. Too bad some of those other battles weren't quite as clean.
Yes, it was great to get a properly clean and fair race in (for me, at least!). The good news is, I made it two in a row… the next video coming is equally clean with another great battle. Sim racing is great when you find races like this 😃
Fantastic race!! Much respect to you and Stitch VAC for the sportsmanship shown. We need more like these in sim racing!
Very much so. It was a pleasure (and a relief) to find someone so clean to battle with!
Fantastic run brother 👍. That battle between you and Vac was intense, racing etiquette at its best. You definitely deserve this one after all the mayhem you've faced recently Chris. I hope every Sim Racer out there that don't like playing it cool see's this and takes a lesson from Vac. Much appreciated for this video bro and I'm glad to be a fan. FOREVER RACING 🏁
Thank you mate, so glad you enjoyed watching. Appreciate it, cheers 😃
The pickle joke was most timely. Nice
Haha glad you liked it! Thanks for watching 😃
These cars look and sound awesome!! Great racing Chris!
Look good, sound good, fixed setups and easy to drive! Which does make it a decent option for hopping into an occasional race without being too far off the pace. I’ve enjoyed my last few races in it, I must admit.
Great race. Nothing gets me wanting to race more than watching a Chris video []~}
That’s always the best compliment I can receive, hearing I’ve inspired someone else to get in the chair and race! Thank you! 😃
another top quality video as ever. always loved monza. glad you had an enjoyable race for a change- the last few i've watched have been very unfortunate for you. full marks to vac for being a gentleman. it's a pity there aren't more like you and him around in sim racing
Hey Hal, good to hear from you! Yeah it’s been a rough few races, and I really didn’t think that was going to change by entering a rookies prototype race at Monza! But what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be.
Loved every minute of this race, congratulations Chris well deserved finish, battling and defending, your confidence is definitely growing and still one of cleanest drivers . 👏
Yeah, definitely getting there! Just got to try and cancel out those silly little mistakes like the one at the end that cost me P6. I’d done all the hard work 🤣 cheers Tony
Great result from a poorish start, just goes to show that patience really is a virtue in sim racing. Cracking race and commentary as ever. Good to see some respect being shown.
Yeah, I was even more cautious than usual on lap one here, but I knew the opportunities would arise as long as I avoided picking up damage. One of my favourite races of the year so far, this one.
Last round, your stress just won xD. What a fabulous race. Loved it to watch. Nice battles. And congratz for svac for this fair battle with you. I had a big smile on my face 😊.
Ahh nice one, yeah it was a real pleasure to battle with Vac. Shame there aren’t more like him. Never thought I’d see the day when I was able to go two-wide through T1 at Monza safely! Cheers
glad you finally had an enjoyable race. thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, thank YOU for watching 😃
Excellent racing by all well - nearly all!! - great driving Chris survived at least and a good result - love your commentary
Thank you Tomo, as always, your support is hugely appreciated. Cheers! 🍻
The growth you have shown is great. You have been timid and far too gentlemanly in the past. A great performance.
Thank you, yeah being more attacking comes with confidence for me. And although I haven’t driven much in LMU, I find the cars are a bit easier to handle than in other sims. Which gives me the confidence to push a bit more. Cheers!
Always excited seeing your vids pop up on my feed whenever there's a new upload. Amazing video and what a change from your previous 2 or 3 races. Really such a fair fight. must have been really refreshing for your after all that bad luck 😆👍🏻
Yeah, I felt I was due a clean race, but I didn’t hold out much hope of getting it in a rookies Monza race! But what a pleasant surprise! Cheers
What a mix of driving standards. As much as I was cheering you on, I'm glad Vac was rewarded for such fair driving. However, that weaving has to be some of the worst driving I've seen.
The weaving was appalling. And it looked to be a clearly deliberate punt exiting the corner too… forcing him into the gravel on purpose. But yeah, Vac was a class act. Was a pleasure battling him, and even I didn’t begrudge him P6 in the end!
Great race mate and commentary,Gerkin in a Pickle 🤣🤣 nice 1.
Gerkin is a Tosser! and i hope he reads this🤡
Haha yeah I couldn’t resist it mate 🤣
Congrats Chris!!! A great race!!! And always a show, your video, your narration!!! I'm from Brazil and I always make a point of watching your videos!!!
Ahhh man, that’s awesome. It never fails to blow my mind, hearing where people are watching my videos all over the world. Thanks for getting in touch 😃
Nice race Chris! You missed "Vac has hoovered up another position" lol but stellar commentary as always 😀
Haha damn… an open goal, and I missed it 🤣
I think that may have been the cleanest L1T1 I've ever seen at Monza☺️
Where u got passed in Lesmo 1 & 2 reminded me of in a MotoGP Junior race @ Misano this year when Casey O'Gorman hesitated to not run into another rider & immediately lost 5 positions🥺
10:55 if him changing lines multiple times in the breaking zone wasn't bad enough, it looked like he intentionally ran the guy off the road 😡 not just not left enough room 🤨
Yeah that was really poor from Gibson. I hate that Lesmo 2 corner, I’m never comfortable through there, and it’s just typical I make a bodge of it on the last lap. Vac was a great opponent though, so I don’t begrudge him P6. Still really enjoyed this one. Cheers
Had 2 great races there today, good driving standard👍
Great race Chris, every day you're driving better and better. Congrats. 😉👍
Thank you mate! To be fair, Le Mans Ultimate is fairly easy to drive, so it probably makes me look better than I actually am 🤣 But loved this race, great fun. Cheers for watching
Great race Chris, you are getting better and better all the time, and as for the Gerkin comment 😂😂.
Haha I couldn’t resist! LMU is pretty easy to drive, so I think it makes me look better than I actually am 🤣
Glad you saw the good side of LMU , not to rain on VAC's sportsmanship but if you cut the track and gain a position the LMU penalty system will order you to give the position back and you only have a few seconds to do it , the physics and penalty system of LMU make you pay for mistakes and ill-advised lunges that's why it has become my #1 Sim , so refreshing to get away from the dive-bombing idiots of ACC and the downright dirty drivers of GT7
Ahhhh does it? Well that explains it then 🤣 I’ve only seen the +0.50secs messages pop up so far when I’ve abused track limits… didn’t realise the game enforced giving back positions too. That’s a nice touch. One of my most enjoyable races of the year so far, this one. LMU has definitely won me over as a place to easily hop in and find a decent race.
Super race, great drive, VAC was a great racer as well, very fair indeed.
Yeah, it’s always a pleasure when you find a racer like that to battle with. Soon became obvious he was really safe, so that gave me the confidence to race a bit harder.
Always love the content and commentary mate keep it up
Thank you my friend, really appreciate that. I’ll try my best! Cheers
Nice video man. Great build up
Nice Race Chris! Nice battles in this one.
Thanks Bill. It was a relief to finally get a clean race in!
Great stuff Chris!
Great vid!...
Thank you Frank! Glad you enjoyed watching it, cheers mate
Top stuff. Thanks for the content.
My pleasure mate 😃
You earned a sub from me. Best commentary out there.
Ahh thank you mate, glad you enjoyed it, and welcome to the channel!
Id like this video twice if i could
Ahh thank you Kevin, glad you enjoyed watching! Cheers 😃
Great race but how did you manage to get so many of the same car on the grid?
I seem to only be racing against 12.
I’ve done 3-4 races recently and they’ve been pretty consistent for having 18 on the grid. Maybe you’ve just been unlucky with entry numbers? This race was Friday afternoon UK time, and it was Split 3 of 10… so participation was certainly high then. The only other thing I can think of, is that maybe grids are kept smaller in the lower splits? I think the first couple of races I did were grids of 12. So maybe you’ll see bigger grids after a couple more races🤞
How do you capture replays Chris? I didn't think they were available in game?
Hey Tim, yeah, you can’t view them in-game yet, but there is a workaround hack. It involves opening the localhost URL in a browser while the game is running, and loading it from there (replay files are auto-saved in your LMU User Data folder). I followed a guide by @roy_33nl36 on his CZcams channel… it’s a bit complicated to operate with no visible HUD on screen, but you can bind keys to change cameras, fast forward, rewind etc. Check out Roy’s video from a month or so ago 👍
@@chrisrogerssimracingThat's great, thanks very much Chris.
How is the player count at LMU? Is possible to have relatively full lobbies at any time?
Participation seems to be pretty good. This race I did was mid-afternoon UK time, and it was Split 3 of 10. So around 200 entries. It looks like they limit the grid sizes to 18-20 for these beginners’ races. Not sure about the Silver and Gold races, maybe they have bigger grids.
Watch you get HIRED by WEC or SRO for some awesome commentary!!!!😉
Haha, don’t think I’d be able to keep it going for an entire live race 🤣
🇦🇺
An early morning video here is evening viewing for you! Hope you enjoy 😃 cheers
❤️😊😁👀✨😍🥰👍🙏☺️🎉🎊👌
🥇 by 2 seconds! Your closest victory yet!
Gibson man come on running people off on purpose? Do better. Great result Chris Rogers.
Yeah, really poor behaviour from him. Cheers man 😃
Sim racings Murray Walker. The best. 👍
Thank you, there’s no greater compliment than that! Cheers for watching, really appreciate it 😃
Great pickle crack :) Good run !
I’m never one to miss an opportunity like that! Cheers
