[00:02:06]Apologies here. We came to play.

[00:02:10]Pedal down, swing away.

[00:02:39]Hello people.

[00:02:41]Christian, Steph, uh, who else is in?

[00:02:44]Michael, Declan, hello. Hello. Yeah, if this goes wrong, blame Steph. It's all Steph's fault. This is I didn't realize there's a 30 minute practice session. That's good.

[00:02:54]>> Track temperature is rising. It's now 90 F.

[00:02:57]>> Yeah, I'm going to need it, Seth. Thank you very much. Um, I have to interrupt this broadcast. I've just seen that Anna slot's [ __ ] been sacked. So, let me just confirm.

[00:03:08]Come on.

[00:03:12]Yes.

[00:03:16]Honor slots's been sacked, people.

[00:03:19][ __ ] off you bald bastard.

[00:03:25]On who they appointed who have they appointed? Does anyone know?

[00:03:36]Oh, this is more important stuff.

[00:03:48]Well, I think that that and if you go back on on my Twitter, I said this weeks and weeks ago that Arnos was going to get sacked at the end of the season. It was already agreed, but they didn't want anyone to know for some reason. I don't think the Liverpool people want Alonzo. The people on the board, they didn't want Alonzo. I think this was already done. And I said it weeks and weeks ago that this was already done and in place and it's just been announced that he's sacked. So I think yeah I I think they want Nagman, but it says here Areola could sign.

[00:04:27]So I don't I don't care. I don't I I tell you what, I don't [ __ ] care if it's Mavis a tea lady who signs for manager. I really don't care as long as Anna Bald [ __ ] slot isn't in there cuz he's a wanker and I don't like him. But he has been sacked. So I'm happy now. I am really, really happy.

[00:04:48]Good.

[00:04:50]I need to go on my Twitter and prove everyone right or prove that I was right. I've been saying for weeks that he's being sacked.

[00:05:04]I've been I've been saying for weeks on Twitter that it was already done. He was going to get the sack. Don't worry about it. Don't believe all the journalists cuz it's not happening. He's going to get the sack >> for Cunningham.

[00:05:16]>> And everyone was having a go at me saying, "Don't be stupid. He's here for next season." Blah blah blah. And lo and behold, he's been sat fast lap for 117.19.

[00:05:26]>> Yes. Right. Anyway, let's get back some practice. What I need to do first is put on the race setup. I didn't realize it was half an hour of practice.

[00:05:38]Uh, so E safe. Let's get it on cuz full fuel.

[00:05:45]I've got no idea what this drives like.

[00:05:49]>> So, let's go and have a go.

[00:05:51]>> The results aren't in from um this morning's disaster yet. So, we don't know where we are.

[00:06:00]>> This is full fuel.

[00:06:05]>> Full fuel in this car. I've never driven this car with full fuel. So, here we go.

[00:06:14]I don't drive these cars anyway.

[00:06:19]If this goes wrong, it's all Steph's fault.

[00:06:25]And if you weren't here for this morning, we did the 3-hour the 3-hour GT3 race here.

[00:06:33]Although we didn't do the three-hour GT3 race here because we only lasted an hour and 5 minutes. Hour and 10 minutes, I think.

[00:06:43]>> Fastest lap for Mac 115.12.

[00:06:48]>> Let's try not to hit anyone.

[00:06:51]Leave me alone.

[00:07:02]I got to get used to driving this car with full fuel.

[00:07:08]Yeah, I know. That's going to be a job.

[00:07:13]I'm not confident. I'll put it that way.

[00:07:15]I'm not definitely not confident. Let me let this guy go.

[00:07:21]I don't have much confidence, but we're going to try.

[00:07:30]Well, hopefully I won't need to do that so I won't go on the grass. But >> I just got to try and drive this car with full fuel. But everyone else around me is driving with no fuel.

[00:07:42]>> So, they're just going to have to wait.

[00:07:46]So, I've got to get used to driving this car with full fuel.

[00:07:54]I've driven it with qualifi quite a lot, but not with full fuel.

[00:08:01]Now, if I remember rightly, I've got to slow down before the tarmac. Is that right?

[00:08:11]>> That's the new fastest lap for 1152.

[00:08:15]Red yellow flag. Watch for debris on the track.

[00:08:20]>> I don't know if you can take this full speed with full fuel.

[00:08:26]Not quite. I >> is 0.9 off the pace.

[00:08:31]>> So, while everyone is out here, no doubted qualifi. We got full fuel cuz I wanted to know what the car feels like with full fuel.

[00:08:52]B25. That puts you 3.0 off the pace.

[00:08:55]Sector 3 is 0.9 off the pace.

[00:09:04]So, I need to lift up both of them, do I?

[00:09:07]>> Okay.

[00:09:16]I was a bit late on cuz I couldn't get my trading paint to have my name on the side of the car. It kept doing it like see through letters off the pace.

[00:09:43]Okay. So, just a little lift like that.

[00:09:46]Gotcha.

[00:09:48]And this is still third gear Steph with full fuel. Yeah, still third gear through here with full fuel.

[00:10:11]>> B30, that's your quickest lap in this session. Sector 3 is 0.8 off the pace.

[00:10:18]Don't forget people, we have full fuel on board here.

[00:10:22]Cars around me have probably got quality fuel on.

[00:10:29]>> What was that?

[00:10:30]>> Car on your right.

[00:10:33]Hold your line. Clear on your right.

[00:10:37]>> Let that car go.

[00:10:38]>> Sector one is 0.8 off the pace.

[00:10:44]>> Try four through here. Okay.

[00:10:47]Yeah, fourth slows down quicker, doesn't it?

[00:10:52]So, just a small lift through here with full fuel, >> but not dramatically lift cuz you lose the car off the pace.

[00:11:06]>> So, we haven't got the results in from this morning's debacle.

[00:11:16]But >> I'd imagine we are going to lose a ton.

[00:11:19]>> Car on your right.

[00:11:22]>> Still there.

[00:11:23]>> Come on, mate. Go, go, go.

[00:11:24]>> They're on your right.

[00:11:28]>> B34, you're currently 2.6 seconds off the pace. Your lap time was at 117.46.

[00:11:52]Hey, River. Hello. Hello. We're in the TCRs for 4 hours.

[00:11:57]>> Sector one is 1.5 off the base.

[00:11:59]>> What is that >> right now? What is going on here? Why does that keep making a noise?

[00:12:12]Yeah, we'll do stuff there. I'm just trying to work out why I've got a bit of a noise going on here at the minute.

[00:12:21]>> Sector 2 is 2.0.

[00:12:25]>> Oh, it's actually come loose. Okay.

[00:12:28]Right. I need to fix that.

[00:12:33]Good opport >> one box now.

[00:12:48]>> Get away. Oh my god. Where's my Where's my pick box? There it is.

[00:12:52]>> We got to pick something. We We've got a loose >> left front 97% rear left 98.

[00:12:58]>> We have a loose bolt.

[00:13:00]Oh, back in a sec.

[00:13:09]The guy behind has just done a 117.89 loose. The guy behind has just done a 117 30 That's better.

[00:14:09]Oh, there we go.

[00:14:18]Oh, loose bolt fixed.

[00:14:26]Yeah, right.

[00:14:29]That hurt.

[00:14:32]Okay, now we we should be okay. We're not moving around now.

[00:14:37]>> The guy behind has just done a 117.

[00:14:40]I'm not going to lie.

[00:14:48]I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but seems seems how Anna lot's been sacked, I really don't care anymore. Hey, Bentley.

[00:15:02]We're in a good mood.

[00:15:06]Uh, get in there, belt. Come on.

[00:15:09]Get um >> the track temperature increasing. It's now 94 F.

[00:15:16]>> Should we go back out with full fuel?

[00:15:18]Let's take some fuel out.

[00:15:21]Let's take half of fuel out.

[00:15:25]Uh, let's go out with half fuel. Fuel. Fuel.

[00:15:30]Fuel. Where are you?

[00:15:32]Fuel.

[00:15:38]Go out with about that much fuel.

[00:15:44]Go out with a little fuel.

[00:15:53]Oh, I've got I've got I've got half fuel now.

[00:15:58]>> There's traffic approaching. Watch your mirrors.

[00:16:05]>> You want me to go full fuel again?

[00:16:09]>> I was going to go half fuel so I could keep away from these.

[00:16:15]Oh, yeah. Sorry, Bentley. I missed your question.

[00:16:27]Yeah, this is all Steph's fault.

[00:16:30]Uh, E2, safe, open, apply.

[00:16:35]There's no rain, is there?

[00:16:37]I don't think there's any chance of rain, so we're all good.

[00:16:41]Strength of field 24,444.

[00:16:47]60 cars on track. Is there 60?

[00:16:50]Probably about 60, I reckon. There's traffic behind. Take care.

[00:17:08]All right. Hopefully, we fix that loose bolt now.

[00:17:12]We shouldn't have any strange noises from down there.

[00:17:20]Go mouse.

[00:17:27]Yeah. Again, if you weren't here this morning, we attempted the 3-hour here in the GT GT3s.

[00:17:43]Uh, we didn't manage to survive unfortunately.

[00:17:50]We lasted an hour and 20 minutes I think before we got disqualified. We collected X's like no one's business.

[00:18:03]There is still noises coming from down there. I don't like it.

[00:18:07]Heads up, there's a car exit in the pits.

[00:18:13]>> There's still some more loose bolts on there somewhere.

[00:18:19]P47.

[00:18:24]No, I won't.

[00:18:36]Whoa. What is that? This is annoying me.

[00:18:39]Hold up. Let me just get off here. Get into a bit of track where I'm nowhere near anyone.

[00:18:49]>> The guy behind has just done it. 117.6.

[00:18:51]>> More loose bolts.

[00:18:53]It's very annoying. Bear with me. More loose bolts.

[00:18:59]It's my keyboard tray is all it is.

[00:19:04]When my motion system bouncing up and down, it makes the keyboard tray do loads of [ __ ] Oh, that one's loose. Is it Oh dear. I need a I need a spanner for that one.

[00:19:32]Um, right. Bear with people. I need a spanner. I'll be back in a second.

[00:20:47]right? Come here, Ba. Time for you to be done up.

[00:21:01]Right, that should do it. I think we're good.

[00:21:21]Right, we're good now. We're all good.

[00:21:27]All right, back to practicing, shall we?

[00:21:53]right now. Keyboard tray, please stay still.

[00:21:58]Hey, Michael. Hello. You got gifted a membership.

[00:22:04]It was Steph that gifted you it.

[00:22:10]What we got? 8 minutes. Okay, let's practice with Please don't kill me.

[00:22:18]Please don't kill me. I like that.

[00:22:26]Yeah, Steph gave you a membership.

[00:22:28]Hey, Necro. Now my glasses have got a smudge on them.

[00:22:40]Okay.

[00:22:42]Right. Quality fuel.

[00:22:50]No, no more loose bolts. Just my keyboard tray. That was all right. Uh, quali V2 safe.

[00:23:04]No fast repair. I don't know. I have no idea.

[00:23:10]Um, no fast repair. Nope. No fast repair.

[00:23:18]right now with qualifi.

[00:23:20]>> So, uh, which strategy is going to be better? Um, repit stops or two.

[00:23:33]>> Pit exit is clear. Don't cross the line.

[00:23:39]>> Surviving is the correct strategy.

[00:23:46]Sorry, I was trying to mess around with my pit stop button.

[00:23:56]Oh, for God's sake. What the [ __ ] is this noise?

[00:24:02]>> On your right.

[00:24:03]>> What's that?

[00:24:04]>> Clear right.

[00:24:06]>> Oh, okay.

[00:24:14]I don't know what these noises are.

[00:24:16]>> Car on your left. You're clear. Left.

[00:24:19]>> Really don't know what these noises are all about.

[00:24:21]>> Easy. Car on your left.

[00:24:24]Easy. Hold your line.

[00:24:25]>> Sorry.

[00:24:27]>> Still there.

[00:24:29]>> Clear on the left side.

[00:24:34]>> I don't know what the noises are. I'll have to leave them for now. Oh.

[00:24:41]Very funny.

[00:24:52]>> I don't know what it is. It's annoying me though. I know that.

[00:24:55]>> Car right. All clear on the right.

[00:24:57]>> The guy behind has just done a 121.53 B50.

[00:25:06]The guy behind has just done a 118.51.

[00:25:12]>> [ __ ] sake.

[00:25:16]>> Oh my word.

[00:25:18]>> I think there's like two pit boxes maybe.

[00:25:23]>> This is practice session. People just take it [ __ ] easy.

[00:25:28]What is this noise?

[00:25:30]I got a really bad noise happening.

[00:25:34]I did the other four hours of this like 5 hours ago and it was an absolute blood bath. Like half of us made it to the end. I managed to limp over 45x. Just just good luck, mate. Just >> it was like that last year, too.

[00:25:55]>> I think I found what the noise is.

[00:25:58]I have a rogue screw in my ball.

[00:26:03]Bear with >> if you can survive the first two hours for everybody to give up or get disqualified, then you're a good then you can get to the end.

[00:26:12]>> Oh, well, that rules us out then.

[00:26:19]>> I got 44 X's in the first two hours and then one X in the second two hours.

[00:26:27]>> Sounds like a you problem, man.

[00:26:31]I need a screwdriver now.

[00:26:34]>> Why is that there?

[00:26:35]>> No. No.

[00:26:37]>> That is weird.

[00:26:38]>> I need a screwdriver.

[00:26:40]>> When you're crashing in the pit lane because the guy in front of you is somehow going slower than you, but also doesn't have the pit lane speed limit on. So, you have collision with him.

[00:26:48]>> I don't know, dude.

[00:26:50]>> I can do it with this. All right.

[00:26:58]Screwdriver not needed.

[00:27:03]I mean, try to time it so there's no one in front of you when you pit, but if there is, >> give him tons of extra room.

[00:27:10]>> And if you lose 3 seconds, it's not the end of the world, right?

[00:27:16]>> We have to go and get a screwdriver.

[00:27:21]>> Yes, sir. I did. Time slot one.

[00:27:25]>> Uh, back in a second.

[00:27:32]The guy behind has just done it. 117.32 In that first time slot, I did two pit stops, but I think I'm going to change it to do three here. I had 38% tire wear on the right front with two pit stops.

[00:29:01]Well, how to prep for a 4hour race?

[00:29:03]>> Maybe do uh maybe I'll do three pit stops and on the second pit stop do all four tires.

[00:29:09]>> Oh, don't tell me I've brought the wrong screwdriver in.

[00:29:12]>> Oh, you [ __ ] [ __ ] It's a star.

[00:29:15]Oh, it's a star, not a screwdriver.

[00:29:18]because it they they get done in parallel with the fuel.

[00:29:24]>> Oh, back in the set, people.

[00:29:27]How long we got? One minute. Oh, good.

[00:29:32]One minute.

[00:29:52]I just find it interesting that that there's going to be competing strategies there. I think All right, I am I am sort of back.

[00:30:32]I can't work out why I put a screw there in the first place, but that's what the noise is. My keyboard tray is hitting it. I don't know what it's in the war for, but we're going to take it out anyway.

[00:30:45]I can't think what the hell it was there for. Is that the right one?

[00:30:51]Yep.

[00:30:53]>> Right. Let's get this out of here then.

[00:30:59]Oh, come on.

[00:31:01]>> That's the end of the session. B-52.

[00:31:04]>> Lovely.

[00:31:18]I don't know what this was in the wall for. I really don't know.

[00:31:28]Absolutely no idea what that was in the wall for.

[00:31:36]It's in there a fair old way anyway.

[00:31:39]Not straight, which is why it's been a pain in the ass to take out. Are we in qualifying yet?

[00:31:46]Are we in qualifying yet?

[00:32:00]Well, it's out now. So, okay. Well, there's plenty of time.

[00:32:09]Plenty of time for qual.

[00:32:19]All right.

[00:32:26]Fixing your rig while you're supposed to be qualifying, eh?

[00:32:32]I've done it now. Look, here we go. Want to see the screw? There it is.

[00:32:40]In there for Does that go in the side of there or not?

[00:32:47]No, it doesn't. Okay, no problem. All right, here we go.

[00:32:58]Oh, nearly as good prep as I had for the 3-hour.

[00:33:10]I've got no idea why there was a screw there.

[00:33:17]>> Absolutely no idea.

[00:33:21]But anyway, oh, I'm out of breath.

[00:33:27]Good job. I got plenty of time to qualify.

[00:33:32]That is weird.

[00:33:38]All I can think of it was something to do with when I had Ah, I know what it was now.

[00:33:46]Oh, it was when I was doing VR.

[00:33:49]I put a hook there to hook my VR headset onto.

[00:33:55]Right, let's go and qual then, shall we?

[00:33:57]Jesus.

[00:33:58]>> The leader has just done a 114.94.

[00:34:01]>> Qualie safe. Right, let's go.

[00:34:05]What could possibly go wrong now, eh?

[00:34:09]>> Okay, Paul, we've got two laps to get the job done, mate.

[00:34:26]I don't think it really matters where we qualify. It's a 4hour race though.

[00:34:39]Well, we're away.

[00:34:43]Let's just concentrate on getting a qual lap in and I'll say hello to anyone I missed.

[00:35:13]Well, that's what it was like with the GC3s as well.

[00:35:16]>> 114.85.

[00:35:22]>> Fastest lap for Christopher. 114.60.

[00:35:26]>> Let's get a half decent lap in.

[00:35:38]New fastest lap for Kano 114.25.

[00:35:41]>> Well, we can't do that. 1151 is my best.

[00:35:56]We are going to get another lap in which is good.

[00:36:00]>> Sector one is 0.6 off the pace.

[00:36:15]I got to do well in this one.

[00:36:18]Got to prove. Got to do well for Steph.

[00:36:26]All right, that's about a second down.

[00:36:31]All right, let's have a better lap this time.

[00:36:49]B29.

[00:36:52]>> Oh, right in the middle of the pack.

[00:36:54]That's not good.

[00:37:14]I've never raced these cars before.

[00:37:30]Oh, that's a lie. Actually, I did one race. No, we did a 20-minute race just to see how well how much pace I had the other day.

[00:38:01]I'll take that.

[00:38:04]I'll take that. 152.

[00:38:08]Right. All the noises have gone.

[00:38:14]Or four hours of this. Wow.

[00:38:20]4 hours, he says.

[00:38:26]Um, right. So, another thing on on the endurance setup, it says I can do like an hour and 15 minutes per stint. Is that good? Should I be taking some fuel out or not?

[00:38:44]Or do I do two of them and then like a uh a smaller session?

[00:38:54]It's got to be an endurance setup, right?

[00:38:58]Cuz the endurance setup has 22.5 gallons of fuel on board.

[00:39:06]Not yet. What? So, I leave all the fuel in.

[00:39:13]>> 22 and 12 gallons lets me do an hour and 15 minutes, I think.

[00:39:22]>> So, do I So, I'm going to do So, is that right? Let me show you what I mean. So, look, I can now do an hour and 16 minutes of fuel. Is that right?

[00:39:34]Is that what I want to do?

[00:39:41]Is it Steph? I've got a minute to decide.

[00:39:45]Or do I want like an hour and 5 minutes of fuel?

[00:39:50]>> Race start in 90 seconds.

[00:39:53]>> Let's have a sip of drink anyway. Last sip of drink.

[00:39:59]Oh.

[00:40:02]Oh [ __ ] How do you start this car again? I forget.

[00:40:06]This is standing start, isn't it?

[00:40:13]Start with full fuel. Right. So, how do I launch this car then?

[00:40:18]With a clutch. Do I let the clutch out slowly or do I just let it go?

[00:40:21]>> 60 seconds.

[00:40:23]>> I should have practiced this SL, shouldn't I?

[00:40:33]So, how do I start the car? How do I launch this? I've got clutch. Do I let my clutch out slowly or do I just let it go completely?

[00:40:46]Right. Okay. Yeah, I don't know either.

[00:40:50]>> The race starts in 30 seconds.

[00:40:53]>> Well, I've got 30 seconds to make my mind up. Do I need a clutch or do I just put my foot on the brake?

[00:40:59]Yeah, easier said than done.

[00:41:04]Four hours people hopefully >> we have no recorded pit timings. This will hurt the fuel estimates. The track temp is 99 hours. The air temp is 67.

[00:41:14]>> How long are we going to survive?

[00:41:15]>> Should be okay. We're aiming for round meant >> I don't think it is. It's a standing start.

[00:41:28]Thank you.

[00:41:31]>> Okay. Rolling starts. Follow car number 25 in the left column.

[00:41:35]>> Okay, that's all right then. Rolling start. We'll take that.

[00:41:39]I like that. I'm What What race did we do that was a >> The pace car speed is 43 m hour.

[00:41:44]>> We did a race the other day in these and it was a standing start.

[00:41:50]Okay. Anyway, this is a rolling start, so we're all good.

[00:41:56]>> There's a big mess in turn one. Whoa.

[00:41:58]>> What's this bird doing? Get away.

[00:42:03]No, that's going to be the chicane coming to the green.

[00:42:07]>> What is this bloke doing there?

[00:42:09]>> We're going to do single file, please.

[00:42:13]Oh, don't let don't tell me I'm going to get a penalty. Oh, no, he's gone.

[00:42:19]>> Okay, I need to warm warm something up here.

[00:42:24]4 hours of this. I meant to do a poll.

[00:42:27]How long do you think I'm going to last?

[00:42:29]1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, or the whole 4 hours. Bear in mind, we lasted an hour and 20 minutes in the GT3s here earlier today. We haven't seen the results of that yet, but I'm imagining that's not going to be very good. 25x in an hour and no, 32x in an hour and 15 minutes of racing.

[00:42:48]So, yeah.

[00:43:01]Well, I hope you all have a good race.

[00:43:05]I lasted an hour and 20 minutes in the GT3 race here earlier. So, I'm not Have you seen the results?

[00:43:30]Hey, Dizzy. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I'm going to need it. 4 hours, Michael.

[00:43:34]I don't know. Yeah. Well, we we'll see.

[00:43:36]We'll see how we do.

[00:43:46]I lost 1.27 27 safety rating. Holy [ __ ] Really?

[00:43:52]Oh my god.

[00:43:55]I knew it was going to be bad. I didn't think it'd be that bad. Oh dear.

[00:44:06]Does that mean I'm down to 1 point something then?

[00:44:10][ __ ] Oh, no. 3.7 here. So, I'm down to 2.5, am I? Okay. Down to 2.5 seconds.

[00:44:24]>> Okay, Paul, get ready. Green, green, green.

[00:44:27]>> Please don't wreck me at the start of this race, people. No, don't kill me.

[00:44:35]>> Car on your left.

[00:44:37]>> Please don't kill me.

[00:44:38]>> Left.

[00:44:46]I need to be gaining safety. People don't kill me.

[00:44:48]>> Clear left. Left side. Left side.

[00:44:53]Hold your line. All clear on the left.

[00:44:56]Car on your left. All clear on the left.

[00:44:58]Careful. Car on your left. Clear left.

[00:45:00]>> Please don't kill me.

[00:45:18]Don't floor it in second or third gear.

[00:45:20]Okay, I'm trying my best.

[00:45:31]All right. Okay.

[00:45:35]Well, we had a good start in the GD3 race.

[00:45:37]>> The next car is good and the rating is 2.6.

[00:45:45]>> There's an incident in turn 12. We think it might be Harris. Yellow flag.

[00:45:50]Caution.

[00:45:58]>> B15.

[00:46:01]So, the first six laps were good in the GT3 race and then it all went tits up from there.

[00:46:10]Sort of. Yeah.

[00:46:35]Red, yellow flag, there's debris out there.

[00:46:38]>> Okay. Right. We're away.

[00:46:42]4 hours of this. Oh my god.

[00:46:44]>> Make him do all the work. Focus on your exits.

[00:46:53]>> Okay, we survived two laps. We got 50x this time.

[00:47:01]And you reckon this is still third gear through here, not second like I was doing?

[00:47:05]>> The leader has just done a 115.37.

[00:47:14]>> Yeah, not long then.

[00:47:19]Is that last chicane still third gear, Steph with full fuel?

[00:47:25]with full fuel. Yeah.

[00:47:27]Okay.

[00:47:37]Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

[00:47:43]I'm still taking it a little bit easy.

[00:47:51]Try not to lose the car and carry as much speed as I can.

[00:47:58]Guy behind me might be getting a little bit impatient, but there we go. I can't help that, mate. I'm trying to stay on track.

[00:48:08]We're doing okay.

[00:48:14]Okay, I feel like I'm struggling to keep the car going straight.

[00:48:27]>> And I still cut the chicane like I would in the GT3. Yeah, >> on your right.

[00:48:30]>> No, mate. No, don't overtake me there, you idiot.

[00:48:34]>> Careful. Car on your right.

[00:48:35]>> Jeez.

[00:48:36]>> Careful. Still there.

[00:48:39]All clear on the right.

[00:48:42]Ah, bad. Look, mate.

[00:48:48]I had to pull out of that or else I was going to die.

[00:48:54]Okay, thank you.

[00:49:00]Okay, thank you.

[00:49:14]The car in front of us is car number five and their rating is 3.1.

[00:49:21]>> What? Michael, this is tough.

[00:49:26]I don't drive these cars normally.

[00:49:30]It's only my second ever race in this car.

[00:49:32]>> Car on your left.

[00:49:35]>> Careful. Still there.

[00:49:37]>> [ __ ] off, mate. Go away. Go away.

[00:49:40]>> You're clear. Left.

[00:49:42]Car right.

[00:49:43]>> I was trying to, but I had a >> Still there.

[00:49:47]>> Easy.

[00:49:48]>> Front wheel drive.

[00:49:50]>> Still there. They're on your right. 15th place.

[00:49:54]>> Frontwheel drive. Yeah, they're a pain in the ass to drive.

[00:49:57]>> Car is Tobias and their rating is 2.6.

[00:50:00]>> Yeah, they're not the easiest to drive.

[00:50:02]I will say I have a feeling I might be holding people up here. But yeah, I'm not a fan of frontwheel drive cars in real life. So yeah, there's two of them there. So Yeah, I will do.

[00:50:51]>> Car right. Clear on your right. Careful.

[00:50:54]Car on your right.

[00:50:55]>> Oh, I changed out to second. Sorry.

[00:50:58]>> Left side. Clear left. Car right.

[00:51:00]>> It's fine. You can go now, mate.

[00:51:02]>> Hold your line.

[00:51:03]>> Go on.

[00:51:05]>> Hold your line.

[00:51:07]Clear on your right. B7.

[00:51:09]>> It's fine. Don't forget I don't drive this car people.

[00:51:14]This is my literally my second race in this car and we need to gain back the 1.27 safety rating. I lost GT3 race earlier today.

[00:51:27]The 3-hour race where we lasted 1 hour 20 minutes before we got disqualified with 32x from people driving into me. That was The guy in front is moral and their rating is 3.1 little lift.

[00:52:00]Oh, I don't think we're doing too bad.

[00:52:04]We're two seconds off the leader, but you know, I don't normally drive these cars, so I just noticed that no one else is cutting that chicane.

[00:52:18]No one is cutting that chicane.

[00:52:20]>> The gap behind is now 0.28. 28.

[00:52:46]Just makes me wonder if I'm supposed to cut that chicane. Steph says yes, but no one else is doing it.

[00:52:54]You got to think that these people drive these cars more often than I do.

[00:53:08]You are meant to. Yeah, that's what Steph said. But no one else is. If you notice, literally no one is cutting that chicane. No one. They're all driving round it.

[00:53:36]H.

[00:53:41]Well, that's a 16. That's not too bad, is it? Full fuel.

[00:53:47]16 dead.

[00:54:00]I am killing my poor tires. I know I will.

[00:54:05]They're a few seconds off pace as well.

[00:54:06]Yeah, that's true.

[00:54:13]Let's try in fifth now.

[00:54:20]Okay, there we go. We don't need to change that to fourth for that now.

[00:54:24]Good.

[00:54:36]Yeah, the lead has done a 115 and I'm doing a 116. So, I'm not too I'm not too displeased with that to be honest.

[00:54:46]If I can be a second behind the leader, I'll take that all day long.

[00:54:59]There's an incident in Cobb. It looks like it's Adam.

[00:55:05]Yellow flag. Watch out.

[00:55:22]P7 couldn't hold it. Dev >> the gap to 18th behind is now 0.32.

[00:55:39]>> Yep. Probably holding them up as well, but there we go.

[00:55:43]Such is life, eh?

[00:55:56]Heat.

[00:56:20]Heat.

[00:56:35]I got a little bit more time to look up and read chat cuz these cars are slower.

[00:56:39]In the GT3s, I had no chance to look up and rehat.

[00:57:08]Yeah, Bentley. Yeah, Steph, my manager, has told me how to drive.

[00:57:23]Shame we did that last corner wrong.

[00:57:29]It was 3/10 up then till we come to the last corner.

[00:57:52]on your right.

[00:57:53]>> Yeah, I made a mistake there.

[00:57:54]>> Careful. Still there.

[00:57:56]>> You want to go around the outside of me going?

[00:57:58]>> Hold your line. They're on your right.

[00:58:01]>> Come on, Paul. Keep pushing. We might get him back.

[00:58:06]>> I made a mistake, so don't mind letting him go there.

[00:58:24]We're faster than this guy in front. I know that the car ahead is Pette.

[00:58:46]B18. That last lap was a 117.18.

[00:58:53]Yep. I'm definitely focusing. Steph, I don't quite know what I'm focusing on, but I'm definitely focusing on something.

[00:59:02]Focus on staying on track. Double >> track. Force him to find the gap.

[00:59:09]We've survived 15 minutes.

[00:59:15]I think by this time in the GT3 car, we had like 15x.

[00:59:27]I think we've been hit three times by now.

[00:59:38]I keep gripping the wheel too hard. My fingers go numb. Get pins and needles in them. Bad habit.

[00:59:53]Yep. Yep. Oh, Steph's fault, Jackie. So far, touch wood. It's going okay.

[01:00:06]Whether I'm going to be able to do four hours, I don't know.

[01:00:14]Yes, I know. I saw that. Yeah, I told you. I was right. I told you. No one believed me. They were all believing the mainstream media.

[01:00:27]I told everyone that Slot was getting the sack. No one believed me.

[01:00:38]Liar. Yaki. Steph said I had to do this race.

[01:00:42]I wanted to do the 3-hour at 8:00.

[01:00:45]Steph went, "No, you must do the TCR race."

[01:00:49]So, I said, "Okay, >> we think P6 has binned it in turn 10."

[01:00:55]>> She told me to do it. I didn't want to do it. Go back, look at the chat, you'll see. I did not want to do four hours here. I said no. I'll be back at 8:00 for the GT3 race.

[01:01:09]I can uh disqualified after an hour and 20 minutes. 17th place.

[01:01:22]>> Well, he can flash.

[01:01:24]>> Well, no, I'm not too slow, am I? Your locks are not quick enough. Come on, Paul.

[01:01:31]Yeah, the BMW behind me gave me 8x and disqualified me. Back marker.

[01:01:55]Yeah, I lost 1.27 27 safety rating in the GTE in the GT3 race. And what was it? 70 eye rating or 60 eye rating, something like that.

[01:02:06]1.27 safety rating. So, we are now down to 2.5 safety rating.

[01:02:15]So, yeah, I want this one to be clear.

[01:02:17]We got 4x. How did I get 4x?

[01:02:24]I saw you did Snetton. I saw you did Snetton in TCR. I saw that pop up on fastest laps.

[01:02:32]>> Hold your nerve. Make them do the work.

[01:02:34]>> Where did I get 4x from? I don't remember getting 4x.

[01:02:47]I don't want to be collecting X's like I was in the GT3s, that's for sure.

[01:02:59]So, you like the TCRs, do you?

[01:03:02]I think they are [ __ ] awful to drive.

[01:03:05]Front-wheel drive cars.

[01:03:20]Whoa. What GTP did you get?

[01:03:27]Which one did you buy?

[01:03:36]Uh, Jackie's bought the um Audi TCR as well.

[01:03:46]No, he bought the Audi.

[01:03:54]The Aura GTP. Oh, wow.

[01:03:57]You're brave.

[01:04:00]Have you driven it yet?

[01:04:10]Yeah. Steph said the Audi's the wrong TCR car to take. Yaki.

[01:04:17]It's the wrong TCR apparently. Yucky 50 m. What? The the GTP take it around Nords. Gakucky, take your GTP around Nords. Tell me you don't like it.

[01:04:54]That's probably the the the best racing I've had on iRacing has been GDPs around Nords. That was awesome.

[01:05:20]Just drive fast.

[01:05:23]Just drive fast, Jackie, and enjoy it.

[01:05:25]That's what you're doing then.

[01:05:27]>> Wood behind is now 0.39.

[01:05:30]>> Yeah. Once again.

[01:05:41]So, why aren't you in this racing, Yaki, if you've got a TCR car now?

[01:05:47]It's only 4 hours. I mean, hey, Owen.

[01:05:55]>> No worries.

[01:06:00]>> Well, you saw me in the GTP at North, didn't you? That was fun. I really enjoyed it.

[01:06:30]Oh, off track.

[01:06:32]>> Stay between the lines, please. Paul, >> do I do this section here in second step or do am I supposed to be in third for that bit there?

[01:06:54]It's really fun.

[01:07:05]I'm getting the hang of these cars slowly.

[01:07:15]The next car is Graham and their rating is 3.1.

[01:07:20]Very difficult to overtake on this track.

[01:07:29]>> Yellow flag.

[01:07:38]>> Don't let this guy distract you.

[01:07:43]Left side.

[01:07:46]Still there. Clear on the left side.

[01:08:04]Oh, they're really fun. Yaki.

[01:08:08]The only thing is, I'll tell you this now, if you're not very good with them, most people that drive them are good.

[01:08:16]So, if you're not very good, you tend to lose a hell of a lot of eye rating.

[01:08:21]So, get practicing.

[01:08:25]You don't get very many beginners driving them is what I'm trying to say.

[01:08:29]So, you really do need to be up to speed before you're racing.

[01:08:56]Hey, Tony.

[01:08:59]>> King Tony.

[01:09:00]>> Okay, Paul, your lap times are pretty consistent. That was uh 116.94.

[01:09:21]the LMP2.

[01:09:24]I've got I've got the LMP2. It's a really easy car to drive, but I can't find pace in it.

[01:09:32]I cannot find any pace in that LMP2.

[01:09:36]So, if you can, Yaki, you're doing better than I can. I can't find pace in it. I'm just really slow at it. That's why I tend not to drive it. But it's a really nice car to drive. Really easy.

[01:09:52]Quite liking this TCR now. It's good job, isn't it? 26 minutes gone. 3 hours 34 minutes to go.

[01:10:07]No, >> you'll need to give back the time gained.

[01:10:14]>> Got to slow down.

[01:10:18]That's not good.

[01:10:20]>> Need to slow down. Give back some time.

[01:10:22]The next car.

[01:10:40]I did cut too much. Yeah.

[01:10:53]>> Okay, Paul, hold your nerve. Just keep it smooth. No mistakes. I'm trying my best, Jim. We've got 5X. I don't know where 4X came from. 1X was me cutting the track. I don't know where the five came from, though.

[01:11:07]Hey, Dan. Yeah, we're in a TCR this time. I don't drive this car very often.

[01:11:13]I think I've done one race in it.

[01:11:27]Yeah, it seems to be at the moment.

[01:11:52]They're very different to drive. I know that they're frontwheel drive.

[01:12:07]Oh, nearly lost it. Nearly lost it.

[01:12:11]We saved it.

[01:12:22]on your right.

[01:12:25]Still there.

[01:12:28]>> Hold your line.

[01:12:28]>> Give me some room, man. Give me some room.

[01:12:31]>> Hold your line.

[01:12:32]>> All clear on the right.

[01:12:34]>> Come on, dude. For [ __ ] sake.

[01:12:36]>> We've got damage. Nice one, Paul. Great move. Keep it up. Incident in turn 10.

[01:12:40]It looks like Mora. How is this?

[01:12:42]>> You have nine incident points.

[01:12:47]>> There's an incident in turn 12. It looks like it's >> Mora to the pits by the stewards for repairs.

[01:12:57]>> Watch your speed limit in the pits.

[01:12:59]>> That was [ __ ] disgusting. Dude, what are you doing?

[01:13:02]>> Ox now.

[01:13:08]>> You can't drive side by side beside someone, man. I suggest you don't drive this and go and do something else.

[01:13:17]>> Oh, [ __ ] off you [ __ ] Yep.

[01:13:52]Little bit of net code.

[01:14:04]There you go. There's the touch.

[01:14:21]How much [ __ ] room he's got there?

[01:14:25]Oh, was it in my collective? I hope so.

[01:14:36]Yes. Good. Just desserts. I collected him.

[01:14:41]>> I collected him, so that's good.

[01:14:43]>> Do it. Do it.

[01:14:46]>> Nelson.

[01:14:49]>> I think I got 10 minutes of repairs.

[01:14:51]Yeah. 10 [ __ ] minutes of repairs.

[01:14:58]No, but I've got 10 minutes of repairs.

[01:15:06]10 minutes of repairs, dude. You got nothing to say about it? No. Absolutely nothing. An apology? No.

[01:15:16][ __ ] sake.

[01:15:26]Make sure we are talking to drivers.

[01:15:29]No.

[01:15:31]Try again.

[01:15:36]No apology then. No.

[01:15:44]10 minutes for repairs. You can't drive side by side on a straight. Go do something else, mate.

[01:15:56]Yeah, I know. But it's 10 minutes.

[01:15:59]That's 10 laps.

[01:16:04]Oh, I tell a lie. I got two minutes to watch more repairs as well.

[01:16:09]What was the guy's name?

[01:16:12]Can't remember his name now.

[01:16:19]Nelson.

[01:16:24]Nelson.

[01:16:26]Where is Nelson? Is Nelson not even here?

[01:16:38]It's got to be the guy in front of me in 48th place. But that says Patricko Silva.

[01:16:48]It was definitely Am I not getting this right? So it's this car here. This is the guy. Vortex Portugal Motorsport.

[01:17:00]Vortex Portugal Motorsport. So, the guy in the car now is 48 is Patrico.

[01:17:09]Uh, let me do at all teams.

[01:17:13]All teams.

[01:17:16]So, Vortex Portugal. Oh, yeah. You [ __ ] off, have you? What a shock. Take me out. Give me 12 minutes of damage and then [ __ ] leave.

[01:17:33]Yep, they've left.

[01:17:36]They have left.

[01:17:41]So, is it worth is this worth a report or not?

[01:17:48]Oh, they changed driver and they've and they've left. and get it fixed and get back in the race.

[01:17:53]>> Yeah, I will. But I got 12 minutes of damage.

[01:18:04]No, not worth a report. No, but look how much room they have.

[01:18:16]Maybe review the replay and see if uh you could have mitigated some risk or something.

[01:18:21]>> No, I've just watched it. He's got three quarters of the track and just drives into the side of me and takes me out.

[01:18:31]>> Get that side draft right.

[01:18:36]>> Uh not when it Oh god, I'm not even talking to anyone.

[01:18:41]Why does it keep changing?

[01:18:45]Oh, well, never mind.

[01:18:56]>> Steph said no, so I'll go with Steph.

[01:18:58]>> Thank you.

[01:19:04]>> There's uh two more splits.

[01:19:12]I got another six minutes to sit here.

[01:19:14]Yeah, I'm so tempted not to bother with this.

[01:19:29]I'm really tempted not to bother to drive this anymore.

[01:19:45]I don't know whether I can be bothered to drive this. I really can't.

[01:19:51]Is there really any point?

[01:19:55]I know it's a 4-hour race, but I'm going to have 12 minutes of damage.

[01:20:01]I'm going to be 12 laps down. Is there any point me carrying on?

[01:20:07]There isn't really, is there?

[01:20:11][ __ ] sake.

[01:20:34][ __ ] hell.

[01:20:37]I was enjoying that race as well.

[01:20:57]Thanks.

[01:21:01]>> See, he [ __ ] crashes me out and then leaves.

[01:21:07]I don't know.

[01:21:12]I still got another four and a half minutes yet.

[01:21:14]>> Hell yeah. Go get him.

[01:21:20]Uh, this is two endurance races though.

[01:21:22]I'm going to Here's my Thruxton result.

[01:21:28]Here's my GT3 result. Let's have a look.

[01:21:30]Where do we come?

[01:21:36]Oh, we were nowhere near last. I lost 1.27 safety rating and 60 eye rating.

[01:21:50]Oh, what am I going to do? What am I going to do?

[01:21:56]Cuz you've got the the GT3s are here at 8:00. 3-hour race.

[01:22:03]Uh the 4hour I think they're here at 5:00 as well.

[01:22:10]So, I could come back and do the 5:00 race here for 4 hours, or I could do the 8:00 GT3 race.

[01:22:24]Or I just carry on with this.

[01:22:26]But what is the point?

[01:22:36]Well, I want to I want to race, Steph. I want to do racing.

[01:22:40]Everyone doesn't die. Someone wins. Do you know?

[01:22:53]Yeah. But not everyone dies is what I mean. Someone wins that race.

[01:23:05]But when I get crashed out like that, it's not fun. There's no difference.

[01:23:10]I don't know what to do. I don't know whether to carry on this or I don't enjoy crashing and sitting in the pits for 10 minutes. I don't enjoy not finishing a race. I hate not finishing a race.

[01:23:26]I don't know what to do.

[01:23:29]If I finish this race, I'm not going to do a 5:00 race. I'm probably not going to want to do an 8:00 race either.

[01:23:42]That twatt knocks me out.

[01:23:45]>> Thank you.

[01:23:46]>> Is 51st place and I'm 52nd. So, I'm going to go out and drive some laps until I get in front of him.

[01:23:53]I'm not having that idiot finish in front of me and then I'll think about what I'm going to do. But I mean, I'm 12 laps down from everyone.

[01:24:04]There's just zero point doing this race anymore. Zero.

[01:24:13]So, do I come back and do this race at 5:00 or do I come back and do the GT3 race at 8:00?

[01:24:22]I don't know.

[01:24:25]>> Okay.

[01:24:28]>> See, there was nothing wrong with this race. It was just that stupid idiot. Why did he want to get so close to me? Why did he not just go over the other side of the track?

[01:24:40]I don't know. I don't know what to do.

[01:24:42]I'm in a dilemma.

[01:24:46]I hate starting races and not finishing them. But is there really any point in carrying on in this race when I could do another one at 5:00 or another one at 8:00?

[01:24:59]There's two people grayed out. So I I don't know. I'm going to go out and I'm going to drive for 19 minutes.

[01:25:08]Yeah. Yes. Same track.

[01:25:12]I'm going to go out and drive for 19 minutes. Get past 51 and 50 that are grayed out. Uh and I'll see what I'm going to do from there.

[01:25:27]But this is [ __ ] This is two races today.

[01:25:31]one we got DQed on.

[01:25:36]And then this one we got taken out.

[01:25:42]Now I'm going to have cold tires.

[01:25:50]There's traffic behind. Keep your wits about you.

[01:25:57]>> Let's go and drive a few laps and I'll make my mind up.

[01:26:03]Blue flag.

[01:26:05]>> All right, that's too many. Thank you.

[01:26:12]>> You're welcome.

[01:26:24]Blue flag.

[01:26:35]I'm just stuck in not knowing what to do. It's really difficult to know.

[01:26:44]>> Blue flag.

[01:26:47]>> I mean, I could carry on and learn a [ __ ] ton of safety rating.

[01:26:51]There's that.

[01:26:57]So, we could do that and just treat it like a safety rating game.

[01:27:10]That's definitely an option. P49.

[01:27:24]We're still gaining experience driving this car, so I don't know.

[01:27:32]Or do you just pin it off and just come back and do another one?

[01:27:36]I honestly don't know what to do. I really don't.

[01:27:40]What do you guys think?

[01:27:43]My options are I carry on driving this and just gain a bunch of safety rating and see what happens. See where we end up.

[01:27:53]Or do I bin it? Come and do this race at 5:00 or do I bin it and come and do this race at 8:00 in the GT3s? What do you reckon?

[01:28:07]What would you do?

[01:28:09]I mean, everyone is gone anyway.

[01:28:13]Literally only got 14 people in now. So, yeah, I know. And I can't make it. I don't know what to do.

[01:28:24]I honestly don't know what to do.

[01:28:27]>> Thank you.

[01:28:33]>> I mean, I think I had pace here to actually compete.

[01:28:37]>> Good consistency. Keep them coming.

[01:28:40]>> I don't think I'm slow.

[01:28:43]I'm not up with the quick guys obviously, but I don't think I was too slow. I think I could compete like top 10.

[01:29:08]But I wouldn't mind doing this again.

[01:29:09]That's trouble.

[01:29:16]I'm not quite liking this.

[01:29:19]Maybe I do this at 5:00. I don't know.

[01:29:26]Maybe I could just drive this one until 5:00.

[01:29:36]What? This one? Why?

[01:29:39]Why? We've only got 9x.

[01:30:00]Oh, yeah.

[01:30:06]Uh, no. There's not enough time, Tony. You can't I don't think you can get in the the 5:00 one.

[01:30:15]>> I meant drive this one until 5:00 and then just like see where I am.

[01:30:28]I don't know. I really don't. I'm going to drive for another 13 minutes and then have a think about it.

[01:30:36]So, I'm quite liking this car and like Steph said, I think this race is a lot safer than GT3s here.

[01:30:45]5:00. Yeah, it does. Yeah.

[01:31:00]I mean I am liking this race and the more I drive this car the more I can drive it in you know in the actual series itself just gaining experience in it.

[01:31:20]I quite like I quite like the car.

[01:31:35]>> Easy. Car on your left. Clear left. Blue flag.

[01:31:43]>> Yeah, we're 49 now.

[01:31:52]Let's do a few more laps and just see.

[01:31:57]>> There's an incident in club. It looks like >> and I'm I'm 10 laps down from 48.

[01:32:03]>> Turn 12. You think it might be Gabby?

[01:32:07]>> 10 laps down from 48th place.

[01:32:11]>> So for me to catch 48th place up.

[01:32:13]>> Yeah, just pull out in front of me.

[01:32:15]Don't worry. Car on your left.

[01:32:19]>> Blue flag.

[01:32:20]>> Still there. You're clear. Left.

[01:32:36]Yeah, I think so too, Jackie. That's why I think this has gave me experience. But do I just bin this off and just drive the next one?

[01:32:47]I think I will, but I think I'll drive a bit longer just so I can get some more safety rating out of this race and then come back for the 5:00 one. I think that's what I'm going to do.

[01:32:59]What's the time now? Half two. If I drive this for another, I don't know, an hour.

[01:33:07]If I can drive it cleanly for an hour, that'll gain me some safety rating at least.

[01:33:12]So, it won't be a total loss and I can come back and do it again at five. Does that sound like a good idea or not? I honestly I don't know.

[01:33:23]What do you think?

[01:33:26]Do you think that sounds like a good idea? A viable one?

[01:33:31]Is my reasoning sound?

[01:33:37]Flash your lights all you like, mate.

[01:33:40]>> P49.

[01:33:44]>> Yeah. Go inside on this corner.

[01:33:50]>> Car on your right. Clear. Right.

[01:34:09]Blue flag.

[01:34:12]>> Nice. I'll give that a look. Thanks, Steph.

[01:34:24]Okay, so let let's drive for a little while longer, see if we can drive clean, pick up some safety rating, and then go again at 5:00.

[01:34:52]There are three people behind me that are still out driving though. So, >> B48, your last lap time was a 118.17 on your left. Clear left.

[01:35:23]They're really good cars to drive. I I quite like them now. Now I'm used to it.

[01:35:43]I'll drive a bit longer anyway.

[01:35:52]>> Oh, another disaster incoming though.

[01:35:57]Thought you were leaving the door open.

[01:35:59]Jesus.

[01:36:01]But >> if we can gain some SR out of this, it won't be too bad, will it? I suppose. I don't know.

[01:36:26]But if we do another race at 5:00, that'll be my third endurance race today.

[01:36:38]Yeah, I'm not going to gain places, Yaki. I mean, I've got no intention of doing this whole race. None at all.

[01:36:59]P48 has grayed out. They've gone, but I am 10 lap I mean nearly 11 laps down to the next car.

[01:37:11]>> Wilkins.

[01:37:13]>> So that just tells you how far back I am.

[01:37:18]>> Yellow flag.

[01:37:44]Come on, man.

[01:37:56]Yeah, but I got three cars behind me.

[01:38:02]So, I'd give them I'd give those places back anyway when I quit.

[01:38:11]>> So, can anybody help me out? Do you take fronts only or all four?

[01:38:20]>> If you're taking a full tank of gas and you don't have any damage, then you might as well take all four.

[01:38:27]>> Yeah.

[01:38:28]Yeah, treat this like a bit like a practice.

[01:38:31]>> Thanks, guys.

[01:38:40]>> Yeah, but I don't want to drive too long if I'm going to be doing 4hour race at 5:00.

[01:38:50]>> That lap was at 116.84.

[01:39:12]And we did a 16 flat with full fuel. So I'll drive a few more laps.

[01:40:09]Okay. Well, I won't do it now then, will I?

[01:40:15]I did 116 earlier. Heat up here.

[01:40:54]I don't want any X's, man. Get out my way.

[01:40:56]>> On your right.

[01:40:57]>> Don't hit me.

[01:40:58]>> Hold your line.

[01:41:01]>> Blue flag.

[01:41:02]>> Easy. Hold your line. They're on your right.

[01:41:24]You've just done a 117.24.

[01:41:47]Go ahead, Tom.

[01:41:59]Come on, man. Move your ass.

[01:42:06]>> Careful. Car on your left.

[01:42:09]Still there. All clear on the left.

[01:42:12]>> Blue flag.

[01:42:19]That's the guy who's in front of me and he's 10 laps ahead of me. One we've just overtaken.

[01:42:40]That was a 117.35.

[01:42:57]>> The gap to Roth behind is increasing.

[01:42:59]It's now 10 seconds.

[01:43:05]>> Yeah. and and one tank of fuel. That's an hour and 17 minutes.

[01:43:25]So, do I need to go out with 1 hour fuel or not?

[01:43:33]cuz it starts me with 1 hour 15 minutes of fuel. So, do I just go out with 1 hour 5 minutes of fuel or you know 1 hour 2 minutes of fuel or something? Not 1 hour 15 minutes cuz I'm just carrying more fuel.

[01:43:53]Okay.

[01:43:55]All right.

[01:44:00]Your lap times have gone to crap. Come on. Sort down.

[01:44:03]>> Shut up, Jim.

[01:44:04]>> Oh my goodness.

[01:44:10]>> Was that a wheel malfunction or did a cat jump on his lap? Wow.

[01:44:31]I don't know, but he exploded into oblivion.

[01:44:38]I'm getting used to the car, though.

[01:44:44]And I think this will be a safer race than the GT3s.

[01:44:49]Most definitely.

[01:44:52]That I'd have to agree with Steph.

[01:45:16]Okay, Paul, keep it nice and smooth.

[01:45:18]Come on. Let the race come to us. B48 Roth behind is pitting now.

[01:45:38]See, if I'm going to be back here at 5:00, I can't drive for much longer cuz I got stuff to do. I'm going to have to sort out, you know, dinner for the family.

[01:45:51]Probably means going have to go shopping.

[01:45:54]And it's 10 to 3 now. So I can't drive much longer.

[01:46:03]Yeah, it is. Yeah.

[01:46:08]Yeah, I agree with you there.

[01:46:12]The driver in front of us is a lap behind.

[01:46:32]Your lap time was 117.38.

[01:46:42]Car on your left. Clear on the left side.

[01:46:49]Careful car on your left.

[01:46:51]>> Careful. Still there.

[01:46:53]>> Blue flag.

[01:46:54]>> Clear on the left side.

[01:46:55]>> Roth behind is pitting.

[01:46:57]>> And that's P9. That was who we've just overtaken.

[01:47:10]That's P9.

[01:47:12]Just gone past P9.

[01:47:16]So, we've definitely got a pace to compete in this race 100%.

[01:47:50]B47.

[01:47:59]Yeah, I just went with the speed that they were doing earlier as well. I'm looking at their best times as well, not their time they're doing now. You can't see that. I got it on my right hand monitor.

[01:48:18]I'm not looking at what speed they're doing now.

[01:48:34]All right. So, that's uh an hour and 5 minutes we've now driven.

[01:49:04]Yeah, but I don't want both I don't want both um Stan and his relative on screen cuz there's too much.

[01:49:17]I only want one of them on screen and I think you get more benefit out of the standings than relative.

[01:49:26]I can always tell you anything you want to know on the relatives.

[01:49:34]uh on the that's the other way round. I think you get more out of the relative than you would out of the standings cuz at least you know what car's in front of me.

[01:49:43]See on the standings board you wouldn't be able to tell that that's car 38 in front or 38th place. You wouldn't see that.

[01:49:57]No, no, no. Yeah, I don't I don't mean that. I mean, there's too much on screen as it is already.

[01:50:10]I think it looks cluttered. I did try and put both of them on there, but I couldn't find a way that I liked how it looked.

[01:50:18]Not what I see, what you'd see.

[01:50:23]>> And I just think that you get more info from that relative than you would the standings.

[01:50:32]I just wish the relative board would give you like the gaps.

[01:50:44]I like the overlays I've got. Thanks.

[01:50:50]The ones I've got I like.

[01:50:58]I knew you were going to say that.

[01:51:04]Thanks, Steph. I feel loved.

[01:51:24]Well, I really do have to decide what I'm going to do here.

[01:51:33]Right, what am I going to do people?

[01:51:36]There is really no point in doing this race cuz let me have a look. So, 46th place is still eight laps in front of me.

[01:52:08]But the trouble is there are three drivers still going behind me.

[01:52:16]Yeah, but 44 is 8.

[01:52:26]Nine 10 laps ahead of me. 45 has a meatball as well.

[01:52:37]My other option, of course, is to just carry on with this race and not do another race. That's my other option.

[01:52:44]is to drive this one and not do the 5:00 or the 8:00. That's my other option.

[01:52:55]>> Okay, Paul, there's a car exit in the pit. Heads up.

[01:52:57]>> You're right.

[01:53:00]So, my other option is to stick with this race and don't do the 5:00 race.

[01:53:07]>> The guy in front is two laps behind.

[01:53:16]That is another option.

[01:53:23]Yeah, 44 and 45 are both meatballs.

[01:53:37]Oh, I didn't I didn't slow down enough for that corner.

[01:53:42]Too much thinking.

[01:53:56]I mean, I could probably gain maybe seven places if I carry on with this race.

[01:54:10]Don't know.

[01:54:14]>> Yeah. Yeah, I think so, too. It's just how many more laps I'm going to do.

[01:54:19]>> P47, that lap time was 117.68.

[01:54:24]>> We still only got 9x.

[01:54:44]There are three people still driving behind me, so we would lose three places.

[01:54:48]>> Christopher, car number 982 is now leading.

[01:54:53]>> Hey, Zach.

[01:54:56]We're going to have to bin this one off, I'm afraid.

[01:55:00]Unfortunately, we got taken out and we had 12 minutes of repairs. I'm just driving a few more laps just to gain some safety rating.

[01:55:13]Just need a bit of luck. Yeah.

[01:55:15]Yep.

[01:55:23]Uh there's another race at 5:00.

[01:55:26]There's another race at 5, though. So, I'm just doing a couple more laps just to gain some SR cuz we took a batter in in the GT3 race cuz we got disqualified after an hour.

[01:55:39]>> Hard work to good use. E45 hour and 20 minutes 32x.

[01:55:43]We lost 1.27 safety rating.

[01:55:49]Uh hopefully, Dan, I'm going to see if I can. It all depends. I'm going to have to go in and try and sort something out for dinner.

[01:55:58]for everyone.

[01:56:00]And then if I can then I will I'm going to have to get off here pretty quickly though.

[01:56:10]Nearly 3:00 now, ain't it?

[01:56:15]Oh, that's coming in the pits now.

[01:56:16]That's enough. We've done some driving.

[01:56:20]13 minutes. Look.

[01:56:34]Let's come in the pits. That'll do.

[01:56:50]Oh, that'll do. A few more laps.

[01:56:54]We gain some safety rating.

[01:56:59]So, we got 9x with an hour and 10 minutes of driving. So, that should earn us some safety rating. Anyway, >> uh we're currently 46th place, but there are Oh, look. 45 has got a meatball.

[01:57:13]Uh 45 has quit. I mean, we go out and get 45th place.

[01:57:20][ __ ] Oh, let's go and get that one more place. Come on.

[01:57:26]45 has got is 45 is grayed out. We'll go and get 45.

[01:57:33]>> There's a car approaching. Don't cross the white line. Watch your mirrors.

[01:57:38]>> Yeah, I'm just going to drive till I get for Oh, I am 45 now. Look.

[01:57:43]Okay, so is anyone behind me? No.

[01:57:49]Let's just pull over here and stop here.

[01:57:53]No, we're done now. So, we got 45.

[01:57:55]That'll do. That'll do.

[01:58:00]That should earn me some That should earn me some safety rating anyway.

[01:58:07]Uh oh, I will save it cuz I can get a screenshot.

[01:58:12]That's unfortunate.

[01:58:15]I enjoyed that until we got taken out.

[01:58:20]So yeah, uh hopefully I'll be back on at 5:00 for the next one.

[01:58:25]We'll see.

[01:58:28]We might get to finish a race today. You never know.

[01:58:32]Uh is that progress or not? Um I don't know. I think that's about the same time we lasted in the in the GT3 race. I think we lasted about an hour and 15 minutes in that before we got disqualified. So yeah, my plan is I'm going to be back here at 5:00 for and have another go at this. Uh fingers crossed if I can sort some dinner out and the family are okay with me back in here at 5:00. I will be out here back out at 5:00. Um please come and join me.

[01:59:03]See if we can finish third time lucky maybe. Who knows? Enjoy the rest of your day. See you later. Bye.
