I race myself and that is genuinely impressive. Not sure people who don't play iRacing will understand how big of a deal that this is. People who play that game are both incredibly serious and incredibly quick and just being competitive is beyond most people.
The Formula Vee is considered one of the entry level open wheel series but it's also one of the purest because you don't spend $200 on some nerd's setup to give you an advantage. Don't confuse entry level for beginner though; Gianni Lutzu who came in 6th is a semi-professional driver and his speciality is the Vee. Seb Coulson is a driver trainer.
The thing about Vee aswell is that because it's one of the earlier open wheel tournaments, you get the Lutzus of the world but you also get the new racers. New racers aren't a good thing because they have no racecraft, which means you can be having a perfectly normal race but then Little Timmy decides to give you no line through a corner or smashes into you or something and takes you out, so you don't just need to be quick but you need proper awareness too.
It's a big achievement, congratulations.
Thank you so much, funny you should mention Seb and Gianni, Gianni was my coach 18 months ago for half a dozen lessons and they’re both “mates” now in that we’re both in the same Discord and race every day and have done for a year and a half and I know more about their personal lives than I know of most of mates back in the U.K. simply because we spend so much time racing together every day and chatting.I race myself and that is genuinely impressive.

That’s great, well done mate !I’ve posted before about getting into the top ten in the world in the series I race on iRacing but today I won a huge race in the last week of the season and it’s seen my crowned world champion out of over 38,000 people so I’m over the moon (and never running for the championship again as it was too stressful and moved well away from being fun)

Yeah the top Vee and 1600 guys are up there for sure. Unreal effort. I'm honestly made up if I can get within 1.5 secsI race myself and that is genuinely impressive.

Wow I missed that @SWP's back and as you know I've been following on YT and live when possible. Great job. You've been invaluable at getting started in iRacing for me. My congrats to you.
Apropos of, I tried dirt oval for the first time this week. Got my first win there, and as I was watching the replay, found this fella, bare in mind I got pole so missed him ramming people on the pace laps and generally being a menace..the livery all makes sense, I guess none of this was his fault..
That's me in the gold car at the end lapping him for the win.
Aye it's a motorbike engine. In game I have that particular one set to be muffled by simulated helmet dampening.That car engine noise is wrong and very annoying.
Doing track guides and going to be racing the tin top/open top MX5 this season as well. Spent the last week trying to get fast in it as it’s never been a car I raced. Should hopefully mix it up a little bit.Watched the last few minutes of your latest video. Tense stuff! Well done.
