      Wasn't mean't to be a dig at anyone, was purely me talking about myself. When I compare my 5.5k irating to others who have 11k, it feels pretty average if you see what I mean, haha.

    @chuckwagon7354 Před měsícem +2

    Dude (@0:14), you would sooo suit long flowing blond locks. It's something motor racing has been missing for years (James Hunt). Also, a dashing moustache (Graham Hill) and boss mutton chops (Emmerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti). That's a lot of hair. Maybe cost a few tenths!

    • @Jaaames

      I'm really not sure if I could pull that off mate, think I'll stick to the skinfade back and sides with a trim on top.

    I loved watching Jamese's streams afterwards because I don't have much time to watch it live but I can't affort to buy substriction. I know that he has to make money but I am very disapointed and I lost my favorite activity while having a free time.😔

    • @Jaaames
      @Jaaames  Před měsícem +3

      Appreciate you loving the streams man🤝 I thought it was a nice perk for members, so it gave them more value for their support to the channel, that was the main reasoning behind the change.🙂

    Hi James, I’ve got a question.
    I’ve noticed that the brake pressure doesn’t go above 80%, so I wondered why and how?

    • @Jaaames
      @Jaaames  Před měsícem +2

      I'm running an 80% brake cap on iRacing at the minute in most cars. For me it's slightly quicker and easier to be consistent.

    what is the best way to quickly up your safety rating?

  • @Nicolas_Cage_Bees
    @Nicolas_Cage_Bees Před měsícem +4

    Just out of curiosity, how come you guys are doing LMP2 instead of LMDh/hypercar/GTP (whichever one you want to call it)?

    • @michaelsica
      @michaelsica Před měsícem +2

      Probably so they don’t have to worry about bop or the car manufacturer situation, considering he’s on the Mercedes team.

    • @Jaaames
      @Jaaames  Před měsícem +3

      The main reason is that LMP2 is brand nuetral, the car isn't a rival manufacturer of Mercedes. The hypercars are all a conflict in this sense, hence why we've been in LMP2.

    • @Nicolas_Cage_Bees
      @Nicolas_Cage_Bees Před měsícem +1

      @@Jaaames I guess that makes sense. And I guess the LMP competition is more interesting than being in the Merc GT3 but being in the slowest category?
