2020 Nurburgring VIRTUAL VLN Series LIVE - Round 2 - ENGLISH Comms ft. Radio Show Limited

very good but super impressed I'll be watching qualified really is very impressive indeed for those of you got the video up as well you can probably see the sp9 the gt3 fields are in the pit lane ready to go for their qualifying we don't often get the opportunity Brewster quality to cover the qualifying but we will get that today a word about the what you're going to see today the race itself is three hours and that is up to four drivers I'm just looking through the list I don't think anybody has got four drivers I think most people are doing this with two or three they're reasonable parties about the euro Motorsports - Porsha but entry which has annoy on the even-odd yeh hump egg and yahoo young on that as well so that is a four-car field espy nights will go out first then the cook class cars at the TC ours and what we're gonna see here is something a little bit different because you are alive to do the shortcut and then start you for your fast lap that maintenance you don't have to do a full warm-up lap on the dodge lifer the track that we're using here exactly like the real world which is through the mercedes arena and then the shorter version of the Grand Prix circuit and Bruce you checked out the firt the results of the first race which was held a a few weeks at gauze the first runners are already ending through that short could answer but there they shorter would rather and on to the second part of the Grand Prix though the first race was held on to foggy conditions and turns up a very very competitive race as well and who came out on top it was the one target team that came out on top got a nice in the winner but I really small margin over Patrick full backer but just looking at the reality of this virtual racing is one of the things when you commentate on the vln which from this season is now the NL s each you get it's like a day in Norfolk you get every form of weather through the course the race many a time I beat being the term optimism I'm sure the fog is clearing it you can hardly see the size of the circuits the drivers will notice but the thing that really really strikes me is how seriously some manufacturers notably BMW are taking this virtual racing world because they did some of the drives do so much similar anyhow to develop the real racing cars and you can see them starting to rise their way from the order and of course they're at a disadvantage some of these simmer aces are do precious little else and are absolutely amazing and used it in that state side in the EMSA series as well with their virtual series so the racing drivers are starting to fight back we've got the DTM champions in this race alone and in the margin look at the map there is entries the first one is the one you have to take thank you okay Bruce thank you but though that reaping knows it took me about half morning and two months of coffee to go through absolutely so detail if you are looking for an entry list and if you search me well actually I posted a link to the end released on the original image listeners collector rate yesterday and there's a very healthy fit on there our selves underscore studio by the way if you want to get into to this I have got one of the multiple screens here for the distortions at the moment and we should have an if you're watching on that register limited as well I'll try and hit here link to the timing that we're using at the moment right let's I brought this some of the drivers and we've got our entry lists that we have been given are very good in Dana to Jamie Fraley s main I cards that are out the Mormon commentary motorsport water 14 get sprayed real-world take the Mercedes gt3 Fabian Schiller's doing the qualifying and there but in all that is the second driver dirt mothers qualifying with nickel busted jumping in after him in the black father Mercedes team here solutions for series FG gt3 that's number four car the Phoenix raising of before from a five excuse me is more Orange thanks offer will do the qualifying and start the race then it's Daniel dominate and the aunties proud to come and Marcel will finish it off like rockefeller [Music] bitter after permit disaster early tossed August making I should be perfectly ax when a bat Marquez far Alan took him out in the insert risk when he was the best poured actually a cup once a West he said the poor thing garlic Mike Rockenfeller hands Kevin 4:13 car collection suppressive ten mr. Piazza will add dodgy and yells Alf house they'll be racing back of a 33 howdy in that order and the first name tied back if you will be the qualifier both man horse preemptively now it's set falls in at this competition Jake III verticity said for that plays a lot of people because they because they are such er a very lovely car and very much David we got some Michaels and Scott Michaels people yet suburb of the course their second part of the 35 Jordy Bannon and crisp sanyas Phil Ellis market users who joined her channel Marvin Tate's excuse me and Jack said fish as the HDP livid waters for the city's number 84 are just picking out one or two more make important lotteries in the team art wrt eighty here with Matteo drew g3 sponsors in there in the wrt carburetor Spangler now watch out the Bruno sprinkler he's got the YouTube sensation Jimmy broad rapping Neil's cook with him in another pmw said four and that's team BMW back that's a word tempered car Dominic Baumann in the one or seven he's qualify Martin Tom chick but BMW team Green Hell in a said three that the 112 we've got mark messing and I said four as well that's the 118 team I want to mention what it mean I get it if they have W to now John it's happening in the real world at the same time at a certain notification we talked about how much sim work a lot of these Pro drivers do and one who's competing this morning that this afternoon Jody Fannin I hear he does but Peter Snowden's just tweeted in he does between six and eight hours of similar work a day and he competes in the regular NL s or he will when we get going but right now keeping his hand in and look out for him he's certainly one to watch in the second at the to walk the most motorsport BMWs ed falls my shame is we can't hear those beauties forces ed four-engine just is magnificent the year yeah we'll work on that in just a few orbits time at proving some concepts here with our colleagues our normal colleagues at the Nurburgring who are user disconnected from your channel user was moved to your channel Italy pretty quick at this as well well Matt Campbell has engulfing terms he's a wee bit of a of her bandit for for his eye racing really everybody who does I racing has a unique account number and therefore everything they do is monitored and that's going to become important later on when we start telling you about stop and go penalties that you might see later on and Matt doesn't have a great eye racing roared rating that's because he doesn't do that that much but what he does do is a lot of other online racing and he is very good indeed and he was very disappointed that he didn't get what he would have said was a fair run at Sebring a little while ago so five minutes still to go on this let's get some times then as the GT threes are pounding around at the moment well just to give you a guy John the fastest time so far by the driver we see quite a while at the front bud Philly Peng is 13 seconds quicker than the best supporter 9/11 cut glass cars that's the first lap let's see what he manages next time around but he was being trailed by one of the Audi's I didn't understand why they're sitting right under his rear wing I don't think it helped the Audi 750 point four nine two four Philly pending in the BS competition one eight nine car Marino Spengler out on the circuit at the moment about two and a half minutes in to his lap Spengler driving the number one or seven teen p.m. to video Bank are hot from victory in the insert Super Saturday event where he and Nicky cats Berg quite frankly dominated the event there were slightly put to the sword in qualifying that event by a privateer team by the Robbie for lead Riven Turner motorsport BMW that was GT e cars of course but they're dispatched probably fairly would ceremoniously by about lap frickin five up turn three of the first lap Brunel then took advantage of Endicott Berg error at turn seven in front of the hotel and went on to win this black this black livery with the BMW back sponsorship and BMW ticking as many of these real world teams do taking it very seriously nowadays so just heading down the hill now about a third or half away around the circuit the serpentine run down to the bridge which is the secondary on-ramp for tourists far of the terrorists laps look for the road coming in from the right that's a breaking point slightly uphill into this next right-hander where are the ears as you know it's not coming down to it now yes I was I was a little bit previous there you had missed the good round the habit so coming up to the area of the circuit Bruce Jones where Niki Lauda had his terrible accident yes back and again you have to learn learn learn this circuit and you were saying you're a little bit previous guessing where you where on the way you were on the circuit imagine doing that's the driver when you coming up over a crest seeking you'd find it goes left but lost them when they start they learn see where the gaps in the trees are as they go up Richards but so much to learn but so many these drivers over the last handful of years five years or so the vln has attracted better and better feels the Nurburgring 24 hours got bigger and bigger and better and a lot of Pro drivers wouldn't have looked at this championship it was a gentleman drivers five years ago but now so many pros and so many who take it very seriously seriously in D times getting faster and faster top of the field Agustin canopy no seven minutes forty seven point nine he's two and a half seconds clear in the number 186 tomorrow racing team Audi so he really has got to get up and go he was the one tucked in mindfully bang and I was just saying I thought on that out that he was wasting his time a little bit that clearly put it to good use now top of the Charter and a half seconds clear Philippe thanks for all your comments on at RSL underscores due to your our colleagues at TV worked very hard a problem of the sad we hear early rock that has now been fixed if you get any issues don't forget the audio is on our a squad so if you want to take us with you and you haven't got the bandwidth to deal with or to your aunt video through the three-hour race which is coming up today then you've got the option of audio only on our s morning Spengler then looking for a time better than that new fastest by Augustin canopy known for the mile racing team viola racing tips seven forty seven nine four five now the fastest time down through flats got at towards the second of the carousels the smaller of the two carousels you on the way home now down there shrub and tracks and then the small carousel and then the gallows head corner which leads onto the dotted gear hawk coming through towards that area of the track now and that really when you know if you've got a good lap going you've got to keep it together number one or seven-day looking for a time Matt tougher in third for Phoenix sport ended up of five OD then yes he Kron 4 p.m. W in the water we're in third divot pit guard for BMW the foreman horse number 34 in fifth position separated by just five seconds things that top runners and that's very close indeed for the what is it 15 miles and a bit yeah it twenty four point three five eight kilometers and just talking about that front you Galvin and caught on to the long blast home that is the place for an awful lot of the overtaking is going to be coming to pass because you can get close to people around the full Nordschleife or circuit but finding your space to make a move is quite another thing don't forget multi class racing for classes but the SP 9 453 have we got a new name at the top no but we've got a new name in second Mirko bortolotti has gone through for Audi in the distinctive white green and black our second position for a team wrt and at number 88 car ahead of filling in out on the east side of rule 2 then max hopper for Phoenix then vrs sim sport yes e-tron in 5th position then David pit art then RIS Union the 87 car and then the BMW jiggity Neil Verhagen in that car so where did where did specular come through I see his time drop in there just got through that he's 8 fastest Johnny's 6 seconds I've just dropped it yeah say that excellent just a head of thing over Hager thank you then Fabian Schiller then Yannick Mettler then Dominic Baumann then Martin Tom chick then Richard Westbrook in the Phoenix racing eSports team so West he must be in two cars there is he which I hadn't noticed he wasn't supposed to be qualified as Rockefeller he was meant to be qualifying that car Phoenix number 14 my right must have been using a nonworking virtual alarm clock this morning mist is called and for people asking well then we are giving these names sorry I've got virtual particularly thought that these are the real people we're talking about this is not people taking the name of any of these drivers of Bruce these are actually the real drivers taking part as well as some virtual Nurburgring specialists ya know inverted commas here these are drivers who are desperate to get out on the circuit but what better way and keeping their competitive edge honed and also just simply doing it for the love of racing and something to do a lot of these drivers all geared up for racing season that would normally start pretty much now March day its rightful it's all on hold we're trying to prove they're being competitive Souls the best of the best and another form of racing and virtual racing gray almost by the week at the moment quite extraordinary I may I say it also the images and the number of shots we have around the circuit make Sur is truly magnificent because course with the circuit it's 24 kilometres long it's very difficult to get enough cameras to cover all the corners and we rely a lot on onboard footage but and you can find that on the VL n dot de site you can go to the onboard footage section but certainly brilliant brilliant shot specifically the ones like the vomiting out with the drone image yeah and a new a new pool position for the Williams eSport one or nine team that time set by Sammy Sammy Matic thrill good yes I was just checking to make sure it was the right person they've done that this is an Audi r8 LMS that's God at the top now saw two Audi's at the top then BMW then Mercedes then Bert a lot they entered North murmur series then the buff and Horst of BMW have Dimitar that see top half dozen beforehand Audi John of course we always think of bortolotti as Lamborghini rowdy last year still there with the lead the queue is that the key is team wrt of course almost lifelong howdy running team but great mix of cars of the song will anyone beat seven minutes 16.1 seconds it's almost two seconds to third over Augustine canopy know who put his Rd top briefly it's only a 15-minute session that's starting to wind up put bridge the top ten separated by six and a half seconds at the top twenty five barely ten seconds that is going to make that top twenty four for the HP nine category soup really competitive we will by the way see a staggered start with the ESPE nines going off first then the SP and then the class cup free crust that took two clusters get the straight angle lead to the cup of coffee come to class for the Porsches 12 of those 11 of the cook three GT for humans and then TCR is another ten of those following it behind those are the classes Falcon horse Ted McGill Jetson out on the circuit in the tour tile for Shane getting airborne on the far side of the circuit really hard to feel in the virtual world this is one of the things I've taught that some of the drivers about a good chat with riddle sprinkler about this about only being able to see the queues ruse of what's going on with the car and particular on a circuit like Sebring which was pumping and here at the number Nordschleife or through thee that's your local carousel for McGill the ensign at the moment just being able to tick the cues of what the car is doing from the visual rather than the physical of what you can feel through your backside that makes things really really difficult entirely so I remember some of the very early driving Greeks were being set up one of the hardest things for them to dial in was pitch and yaw which obviously really do give that feel you require to get the seat of your pants filled but it is something it's still a little it's a very good brains have made it better and better but again stepping from a piece of metal into racing in the virtual world does take a few strides yes you can have good Jimmy Broadbent is as we get well away he's of your whole equation he is quite good actually he is quite good particularly in the I racing world yes it's not gonna put your million miles off here got about 10 seconds that London that to get to the line to challenge Paul position there goes Paul he's gonna be in the top is he gonna be in the top 10 here he comes now the gap went from 1.8 seconds to 0.36 but it's still Sami Matty chosen from by Christine canopy no just went into the time to come up there canopy nor 746 5 and there was the BNC going through in 9th position for that one and violent Horst so if I can host with two cars in the top nine we've got Williams eSport from Marla racing team from PS competition from edge TP twin words full of Ellis qualifying for them through course Florian poor that in the RIS Union and he's gone through in the red white and black Audi what's not like to like about that one he's got it to the top 10 as well five seconds or so off the leader in the 87 car that's the number 11 AMG going through that's the schnitzel I'm racing Marc Marcel Markovitz doing the qualified Judas for that car great sound that Mercedes rumble isn't it now he's backing off a bit but it looking very good indeed for the Audi's at the top still Sami Matty trogon I'm trying to see if there any cars still to take the finish I think we're pretty much there but 0.3 of a second to the good the 109 Audi ahead of the 186 good qualifying session very good and look how close things are at the top of the field with just point three six of a second between the Williams export poor position OD mile a racing team in second place also for Audi and in third place the first of the BMWs Bruce yeah indeed and then we get great chassis variety because in 4th places the first the Mercedes with Phillip Ellis who does so much racing in Germany right up there Mirko bortolotti we mentioned him up into fifth place for Audi then David petard races a lot on the Nurburgring it's really the track that's made his name and Walkenhorst very much keep him under his wing he is say Jessie Crone in 7th and Jessie the most successful driver competing here this weekend in terms of NL s Series wins and not Series wins race wins he has three to his name in real metal so a good qualifying but first to a three and a bit seconds clear of the best the rest the Philippines got a lot to do but it's a three hour race driver changes etc so plenty of things can change david greece in the 13th fastest overall reigning champion in one of the junior classes but enough to take the overall title last year really really competitive here so he'll be enjoying being up in the top class with adrenaline motorsport in there Mercedes a Bruno Spangler at the end of it John ended up down in 16th place so going back down to the tail end of the grid I'll so much of its we saw him here 17th and 24 cars in all 23 in all in fact Nikko Bastian bottom of the pile so it's priest Johnson John hang door for you here on the digital Nurburgring Lange Strachan series powered by PC oh good to have your company this morning apologies for my slight absence they're part of my rather party of breakfast that I'd planned originally but slightly disagreeing with with the back of me throughout their cup to Class C Marcy cook to leading that out from the Asha racing kind second black Falkland in third these are all Porsche 911 cooked cards then simracing Academy and going further to our mock Campbell as Bruce mentioned earlier on that he's Matt Campbell the Porsche works driver for month I racing in fifth position ahead of itch said performance and the rest of that grit going through and I think I said there was he round dozen of those cars of which only it would have paid only 10 qualified so we lost a couple of entries there they cut three category is for Porsche Cayman gt4 course in racing on top of the three or three cars but look at how tight that was it's well just to cut the tent absorber in sport and their GT for machine in second the triple 3 notice the two cars have numbers that start with twos threes for the cup threes that's really rather helpful and the TC RS are uh numbers above that 400 and above course simracing second car with Carl Johnson in sixth position ahead of the rest of the field and there should have been 11 cars qualifying in that Cup three category which should leave us with three more to give you the times for Schubert motorsport black Vulcan odd but I wonder if somebody swapped at classes then with a Nurburgring eSport and Robert bringing up the back of the field but only 14 seconds away from pole position and the rest of the field are the cheering car class TCR always been welcomed into the NL s events the new name for well in fact VL n still are are the organizing an overarching body but it is now the Nurburgring Lang Strachan series and therefore the digital version is mirroring that sim RC on top the pile there as well with the 476 ahead of course sim racing t3 motorsport by Pete KP and full send racing and again look how tight these cars are these are modeled mostly Odie's being used at this weekend and modeled on the front-wheel drive TC ours of course somewhere over 300 horsepower in real life four or five door cars and the audi rs3 TCR the weapon of choice a sherbet motorsport there fabio sure man at the back of that fail but again in eighth position only eight four seconds off the field Wolff motorsport Ultimate Team Nurburgring and the girls only buy Nurburgring eSport I reckon we've seen a couple of entries from the cook to swap classes there because I had 12 11 and 10 and and now if we had I think we had 12 and 12 there in the team in the TCR class and they're cooked three cluster I just want if there's been a little bit of swash of entries well Bruce are you ready for this three hours is on the clock and we have the Porsche safety car in the works colours ready to bring the cars around at approximately 85 kilometres an hour as it said in the drivers briefing I very much like the fact you can the massive run background or even the cut through and we totally truly straight into the race so it's two Audi's at the front of the 22 the 88 at should it be at the sharp end of the cue in fact it's 109 on hold it's Sami Matty trogon but so bring on the racing and as you said these four classes from SP nine which is the gt3 cars you see at the front the field now they will go first the other three groups we separated by is it a minute John or 30 seconds between the groupings I can't remember but I got tired reading all through those notifications the drivers briefing and with all the screens I've got here of course the one that I have that honest my phone which isn't here and I've taken that away at RSL underscore studio there will be gaps between the field as the iRacing Porsche safety car begins to lead the field away something Mattox organ in the blue white and black of the williams esports team on the right-hand side of the circuit as far as the drivers concerned as their head down towards the filter time bridge the last part of the da-ding ahora remainder of the field will get rid it up and then must be in for 2x2 formation as they go under the bill Stockbridge now you can show a tutorial online Bruce about how to do the rule it starts here it's all pink mark Pocan preparation these this would have been something they were building for a while but the fact that buck had to depress to go to green they already had the first round but of reality the realism is enormous for just bear in mind those two Audi's for three seconds Wiggins the best resting qualified yes sir to that qualifying session this may come Changez Filippenko first of those two BMWs tucked in behind please in part eight nine as the scene is very tough racer in real life he certainly is that mistakes and careless driving will be punished early into the point of being racked up 24 your first stop at door at then five two subsequent yellow flags take it away and went on the green at the Mercedes from the third row has a real good run down the outside and that black verb the AMG gt3 he's up in at least second position it's a BMW come through there as well Bruce look from the front row raised up by Sammy Marty Draugen and Phillip Ellis has got the best start of the Mercedes in the HTP Winwood car up in the second position fantastic run already a spinner behind us to go through the EMG arena now who's the BMW who's cook up into third position was that the but it's venom same grass is what I feed the second place I thought he hold it in the opening quarter the Phillip Ennis around the outside and the driver who spun oh great irony of it all is Jesse crow no just write him up was driving us the most success of this field in in metal here around the nürburgring Nordschleife but he got it wrong at the exit of the Messiah's arena here's here's our second batch of cars said by Claudius made for see Marcy cook - then Asha racing and Martin Asha and the leading pair in the Porsche 911 cup trustee cook tees come to the flag Schillaci Uli's and Thomas plasma sin as well as person having a look down the inside trying to make up some positions but from the wall it looks like the 276 has got the start that they were looking for little bit wide there 291 of Mario geo-specific racing Academy and he's dropped I was opposed he's tropical positions where these panics just about to hold on to fourth position as their head on to the short warm three blue for their first time the number three our rich pit stops yes stop and gore penalties for incidents will be coming into play at some stage and regulations very similar to real life there's live adjudication here as they cook three Kim they cook for Caymans come through GT for pyramids come through now this is always a class that I know Bruce that you are very happy watching because they often come cook to their risk and a few minutes after everybody else I certainly did but also they are incredibly close it doesn't matter if it's a three-hour race and for our race and that the longest from their series the six hour race these cars are just stapled together their other casters a BMW come class where a it's like a five back sprint they stay so close that any point as the TV directionless go to see how the class is going at there they are just racing for the first time and in fact even more so than in the metal racing is the fact that to them people have been encouraged to take quite a few risks on this opening lap yes I mentioned they might be punished but we saw in cup two class we saw a spinner I couldn't identify it but there they were three quarters into the race meeting in it's three hour race for a little room tation so the temptation is too much for some and it is bit of a wide run there for the yellow Kim and let's go to the fourth group and Juergen Frank foursome RCTC ah with Marius : book alongside if of course embracing that Oliver Ackerman and steam Leggett let's get the full send racing one two three four across the track down into the tricky downhill braking area for turn number one the core colors resplendent in second position you'll pick that one out relatively easily but it is the poor man who's gotta wear nicely for the Nurburgring eSports for the sim RCTC I'm team Juergen Frank to the 476 pressure in behind the front Marius Golan Bank of course in racing whichever steam a ledger in the fall said racing for 85 car all LD TC our category looking further back do them down the field jackets and junior for Phoenix in their typical Phoenix colors the four or five there and Schubert motorsport as well with Fabio shoe man starting for them in the 428 all your tie today sorry British because it's my fault Phoenix racing towards me racing Howdy's for years and years and it's great to see their colors in here and I love the fact that a lot of the teams are running the real colors they they run or would be running the nlf's gets underway this year and again it's a good chance to get a look at these drivers and also for other drivers and it's hardly been unheard of in recent years for drivers from sim racing to move up to brush in at the real world some drivers particularly in that this and competition over that over the years going out to play Yan Martin for being the driver referred to and Ordonez as well so drivers getting a feel for this but we're better to be applying your craft round and round the nürburgring nordschleife er now looks though we've got Phillip Ennis at the front of build no it's Philip Ellis at the black Mercedes tucked in behind is a veneer bang very very busy and Fridays at the lead of the race that they passed Sam Sammy Metro get in third but I think it is door so that so Ellis I know our dog truck it's got a head trouble yes I see him at the exit of the carousel going down the slope he's got about two and a half second apart they're heading up to Ward Smith Vermont and he's got a decent run the battle for second is right on at the bomb for filly egg but the tailpipes of the AMG gt3 ahead of him that is driven by fully Ellis Allison aim then for and the s competition battling for second at the moment fabulous product everywhere spotless wouldn't get out into the country is there coming up off the top of the right-hand is did the right-hand side before you drop down and into one of my favorite places on the track inclusion easily to drift that to why they're down in the frigid now down through the gearbox use all of the runoff on the left-hand side as you climb now from pollution but up towards the ice curve so-called because it's one of the places that takes the longest to thaw out in the call the weather under the trees there was two three car battles now this as well because sir we've got another Audi just slipping off at the back of that is that kind of pain or insulin tears he started on the outside of the front row G 2/3 of a second down upon the pole man but the whole man has pulled clear that Sammy master Kroger they're now fighting back he's quicker in theory but Phillip Ellis Drive quite defensive Mindy was Philippe in the real world and in the virtual world I think is in class ever since it on before the gap he's going to go for it that's just the sort of makeup of the man but looking down at the cut classes but these cars really done half a lap another first ten separated by about twenty second correct Samuel Lieber leading that class that's fantastic yeah leave her in the 70 1884 that's the cook free class per core racing court with the number of drivers at the sharp end of their individual classes and that's a Leonard Hochberg sitting in behind in the blue and white GT for GT yes GT for cook three that's what confuses me and beautiful weather at the moment the first round had some form for the competitors to contend with a lot each make one or two them to ten you know what it actually wasn't too bad because she focused much more on what you can see to put my driving on the knowledge driver ignites one or two drivers told me they prefer driving at night this less to distract them but two dark clouds in the distance that may just affect trap temperatures at later on pit stops will be a part of this race it is not mandatory to take tires at the pit stops it's up to you obviously the tires get a pounding here on the Nordschleife er and we should be able to tell from the pit stop times who has a date hasn't taken laws tires right the battle for second position second third and phil alice's being usurped and he's dropped down I think to third position is full of egg in the BS competition BMW Brewster's got through it the second week time battle for fifth and sixth with Burton with their Murph reporter Lottie the wrt as the Phoenix driver max hopper there on the robberies loose now as well yeah it's max off of a young charger howdy vs. Audi but look we're off the turn left down here and go down the hill to birth don't care at the bottom cut through the first three four corners see very close to 36 these two Audi's okay for not equal cutting one wake up Cassie other but the blue Phoenix Racing car might offer young charger they are very busy indeed in sixth place overall by the way Sammy McIlroy gametophyte whisker under six seconds very impressive opening round yeah he's done exactly what he needs to do from the start this is coming across the line now the Porsche 911 Cooper Mark Martin Asha goes across leading from Claudia speed the CID RC and that's a 2 to 7 to the 276 250 shinik Kowski for black fondant team identica in 3rd position just a couple of Porsche 911 cook car lengths further back as they're in the EMG arena section now it's round 2 of the ED LS the digital LF n LS series powered by VC or virtual competition organisation and we're live at sound and vision at with your - your cook at UK and around the world via that as well as the audio on our s1 at RSL underscore studio place that if you'd like to drop us a northeast from what good are no quotes I'm enjoying this he says it's nice to see the school limits on the cameras out on the Nordschleife er you're absolutely right and what's throwing me off if I'm honest is some of the camera positions that we don't get to see even for the Nurburgring the JUnit Nurburgring 24 hours more worthy jumps for the TCR cars yogin franked leads from areas at Dallenbach the core in second to a core with a couple of cars at the law classes gross in the top positions in the moment that for the first had a second into the different classes and just underlining the kind of commitment that some of these eSports teams big across the the different the different categories of the racing so something Mitrokhin lady the battle for the Porsche Kiev and class oh and in pits Dawber very early pit stop of that for one of the cars [Music] now I'll be at the W that was Fabio cross who came in by for the ad hoc at racing and hot gaming by a my dears team he came into the pits after I think that was his first lap wasn't it so maybe a bit of tactics coming in there [Music] what we will see is whether he's taken at times that ticking tires for that as well that could only be a tactical pick stop there at frog [Music] that particular car [Music] just after the first lap that is very very early into TC ours coming through now their continued their room and Bruce George tactical pitstop therefore one of the Borgias at the end of the first lap I'll unless there was some damage that we didn't see well we have a spinner right in the Mercedes arena at the start that was all its own I didn't see any damage there and I know a lot of teams in the MLS like to do to protect it that's another because they looked at the sky there's snow approaching or two thunderstorm but we'll try and get our heads around that but nobody else has seen fit to come in so maybe it's a masterstroke or under headed maneuver because it's really making the moves over front of the field Sammy Matti trogon six and a half seconds clear of Billy bang who's now got Augustin canopy no behind him in third place and Mercedes a fill of hell is so quick at the start six up to second slid back to fourth place and let's see if that's a decline that will continue but right now very busy indeed just behind the lead group versus a me Matty Drogo is just so far this six and a half seconds six points six seconds now over Phillip hang great punches of car in behind Oh Phillip and it's got plenty of company so you're listening to Bruce Johnson John Hanke off on the radio short network rip traditional limit network of channels and we're with live coverage from the digital L n LS series at the Nurburgring powered by feet see or and it's been a very very tidy opening we mentioned about the incident penalties which may bring stop and gore penalties later on there's also quick fix penalties as well that's a five-minute stop and hauled and that has to be done in the penalty box so if someone does go off and cause themselves some problems because damage will affect the performance of the cars let's not forget we might say that and that might come into play later on as far as the times concerned we've had 15 minutes or there abouts Bruce or getting on for a couple of laps coming around to the end of the second lap when the ladies come around this time around some great scraps David greets that nobody raced a smaller capacity for carpet he's leading to DTM champions in 13th and 14th position in the BMWs behind that Mercedes greaseless driving for adrenaline motorsport Bruno Spangler Martin Tom chicken Tom chick getting closer and closer you can see the three of them covered by about a second precious little space to pass and we just had a problem with Paul being through the air don't know how that happened which was that David reasoner because it looked so there's another car up ahead no it was er yes it is it was the black and yellow car of David Rees no just mentioned that in 12th place overall and suddenly all over the place up in here and I have no understanding how that happened but it's all going to be covered here on the on the show let's take a look running in 12th nice and fighting 1/2 to the Mercedes over the brown he's not got any trouble from the BMWs but about a second ahead of them when all right I was into the car involved there was another car involved and he hit the ground it went through the air off the shop but the one the one to two gets the worst of it and we'll have to Pete and in fact and there's David picked art was it big art that had the original problem yes was picked up that had the original problem and then was picked up as he came back on to thee under the track so that was David Peter who was running very very well for bout that horse motorsport on the VC or virtual competition organization replay there so it was Peter that started all that and over the top of the brow there was absolutely nothing that the 1 to 2 Bruce could do for David greener and the adrenaline team or a sports team warm coming through there just nowhere for him to go it happened right in the dip and he arrived while someone else was having a nap stir world while the other car was having the accident yeah it was just on the approach disturbance pants and you're going over the component bridge and in of the reach down into the compression at that point you the physics of the car as such you have gonna have very little chance to change your line and unfortunately with the bit our car nosing back onto the circuit that was that court superb Lee and the BMWs tucked in behind the Spangler and Tom Patrick very lucky indeed to sort of thread that way not round it but underneath it they carried on their way towards the end of the lap but for David pit artists are here at the Nurburgring one little mistake became a very very big one indeed battle for second place in TCR the all OVR s3 TCR category as they head up towards bergwerk and climbing the hill it's marius gone back and Steen led yet let's get with in third position right in behind those three so that is the third place car and that that was the fourth place car excuse me if Dennis need heart the d-o-t xee sport machine so three Audi stand battling the leader Jurgen Frank in the sim RCTC our number 476 Audi is well up the road from this battle can't even see him at the moment is there climbing up towards the bottom of the run up to the Caracciola carousel of cooker that tricky little right-hander can't hit the kerb on the left down through the gearbox there in for the big tree once you get it to straightened up and that's your entry point to the Caracciola carousel right on the end of the advertising hoarding turn in there and these three they're battling in TCR for second third and fourth position I don't know what or at cooperation sorry John you talk there a while back about damage penalties and coming to serve your time David Pitt ID has made it back to the pits what do you think your damage pedals it isn't five minutes to fix and flip is it well 34 it's in the pit lane at the moment that's it that's what for what's called in this series a quick fix there will be some penalty there's some damage that you will get done in the normal space of a pit stop and that will go on and that will cost you too much type of major damage like that you'll take a quick fix for that because it would take too much time in the real world and that that will cause him to have a stop at home so Dominic Bauman and David Greece they're bought at the pitch Greece they're part of that accident but the water one atomic bombing I don't know what happened with him in the team folks availed machine well he would have been just in from about the next car after those two BMWs with Spengler and Tom tricks would've been grab a second to behind same may well have picked up some damage as he went through the scene of a petard flip and force will be virtual bodywork deterring the circuit off the front serve david bitter open it up it already the blip of Philip Andersson star fresh jobs abjad hind off where the ring live more erasing for you today albeit in the virtual world real world is the NL s the digital L n LS PAOK ybco second round of the series and the battle for second and third is between the BMW of Philippe Eng and the malla racing team OD of oculist in canopy no started on the front row acoustic heading down towards Berg Burt now then starting the long climb up the hillford / watch for the curb that gives you the idea of where you turn in and then heading up the hill these very quick left handers not really important to get the impacts of any of the first three of those put the fourth one tightens and you really can't afford to lift there because it kills all your momentum going up the hill it's quite steep a yet as they're climbing up the hill oh I look at this point of course if this was in in the flesh in the real in the metal at this point in the race already the drivers of the front running cars in sp9 would be starting to lap the tail Enders this time of course we have just three junior classes and there fast enough not to fall back onto the noses of the front running cars just yet in the race but if the tracks narrow when you're chasing trying to find a place to overtake course when you come across slower traffic that's an opportunity that provides itself but the track can get very very narrow indeed look at the images here yes this is a real circuit in the virtual world if you've never seen the nürburgring nordschleife but do enjoy it and a bit surprising on the circuit how accurate those are because anyone who walks around this circle a they get very tired indeed and feet they can see that a lot of fans put their drivers name so hero snake is out on the track but great racing here going one way going another Mirko bought automata being pushed very very hard indeed by Max offer fifth and sixth places and where is the gap there isn't one no brilliant part the circuits such a rhythm part of the circuit as they're heading through and just coming down now sort of the fastest parts of the circuit this is where you need to know where you are on the tracks through bit Mirman and that sort of area is you're coming down towards crunch it and then from running through flats carton one and two because you've gotten or whether that corner that's coming up is a flat out fourth or fifth gear corner or a big brick and down to second or third you get it from one way it's gonna cost you some time if you get it wrong the other way and you're going that with too quickly there's precious little runoff and very little time to react and there's so much out in the country of the nürburgring Nordschleife or even if you've got a lot of laps in that look very similar and it changes according to the time of day they may all shadow being cast across the circuit can make one corn to look very much like another but one other who knows this circuit really quite well he's racy or a lot for BMW so juniors Mikkel gents and he's in the background this shot bit play still the white to green and black Audi of Mirko bortolotti tucked in behind Matt's offer just look at the tail of that shot started in 10th place now up into 7th Mikkel Jensen he's coming forward in that number 35 BMW percent for looking great good to see that again out racing against he's out a r8 LMS is would say that most important loss he was looking a little bit loose in comparison to Mac topper and let's see just exceeds the excitement sometimes get the better of him and if ever you have an onboard shot of Mirko for talati our challenge is to see if commentators if we see him plink he's known as the pilot who does not blink it's extraordinary and he's on a qualifying that brilliant to watch 7th list not too far behind either that's the Vulcan host motorsport number 35 and he is just sitting watching that battle ahead as 4th 5th and 6th come towards the end of the lab at be Sammy Maddox Rogan who has yet to cross the line at the end of lap 3 he had almost 10 seconds of a gap on the competition last time around 56 and 7 closing up as there come towards the end of the Nurburgring lap and into the link section on to the Grand Prix circuit passing the pits on their right hand side what they can see up ahead is Phillip Ellis who was falling backwards about Phillip just responded with the better that last time around they were taking trucks out of him now you see Mirko bortolotti is busy in that the office goes out goes in if that tight first corner you can run towards the exit so nowhere for max hopper to go but able to choose his line that meant Michael Jensen and the 35 BMW is able to close in and he four lengths behind that toko that's fifth sixth and seventh positions of pimple on your screen social background lori ann bowdan in 87 a Richard Westbrook and Fabian Schiller make up the top ten by the way so it's a true good-bye ten and a half seconds near enough from Phillip egg in the 189 four 3s competition in second there just three tenths further but a custom canopy tours now up at the third in the 186 and he's pulled away by nearly five seconds from Ellis who is falling into the grasp of Merkel bortolotti at this battle for fifth sixth seventh and in fact eighth position as Bruce mentioned flooring important for reunion he's only another three and a half seconds further back and these free and make that it's gonna be fought very shortly are going to be tripping them selves up some heading up the hill towards the chicane it is Phillip Ellis and then maybe 15 cars let's maybe even less than that now as Mirko bought a lot the inexorably begins to pull some time is to head up under the hats and back for their fourth time of asking still more than two hours and 34 minutes to go just watching that battle for fifth place porta lot has been bought a little bit of space because max offers now got to look in his mirrors because he's getting closer and closer is Nikhil Jensen but certainly offer is going right to the edge of the circle beyond but the BMW seems to be able to pick its line Nikhil Jensen has to spare in there so quick reminder you're listening and hopefully watching as well side by side action let me get back to that in a moment this is Porsche option and it's me 211 that gets the better of that particular piece of battling it's for 10th and 11th position in the Porsche GT coupe class engine in the cook tube as they come across the line Thomas has mastered its lost out there for a more the police going down the outside gonna try and take the outside line in the turn wall it'll be the old over and under so he's at the left-hand side of the circuit now and always got side by side in that tricky downhill bringing area to turn one couldn't make that one stick team Nurburgring he's sitting right in behind that battle as well so it's Rob Tyson ahead of Thomas as Merson and they going on to the Grand Prix circuit now meanwhile at the head of the field it is still the williams esports driver of sammy Buckley strong and leading in the 109 3s competitions for the pengus second then canopy nor having a cracking scrap for second position with Phillip Ellis falling back into the clutches of bortolotti Hoffer Winkle Jensen then floor important risk with rich Richard Westbrook and Fabian Schiller non of those but none of the top 19 cars have taken a pit stop yet we're working on lap number four at the moment with still at two hours and 33 minutes let's call it here at the second round of the digital n LS now 5vc or bruce johnson john hang off with you and they read you're sure limited network of audio and video channel so it's Tim Creek and he's producing in London and our usual colleagues at the Nurburgring next to Michael and the rest of the team for me that we get all of the sound and vision that we want [Music] so that's the position at the front of the field in GT Club it is Martin Asha who leads from flirting is vital at tt7 for 276 250 Patrick Sheila Kowski for black Vulcan at the top 6 min apply the manual jury Matt Campbell and Eric knew that's the top six in the portion class for the dying eleventh as there are now also on to their fall earnest begun its they fight not an OVC on ones that are in its yard in folk Valley Ted on turf our trek be a shuttle in technology transfer from the range Tiger oldest NASA we affair to give in the far back spot

Center on tear [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you you you [Music] not sure about that this direction we'll be looking at that is their head down towards the bill Stein Bridge and fillet Bank in second position in the BMW he's trying to break the tour from second place but from third place a crystal canopy nor in the Audi down towards the end of the lap and across the light so this will complete therefore flap and through tummy Mattox orbits already gone through Phillip hanging second 11 seconds between first and second that this battle then he's still for second place Chris Jones your thoughts so far on what we've seen and the quality and the consistency of this racing I think it'd be fantastic it really is the real world on your screen in so many ways canopy no qualified second he and the other Audi on the front row Sammy Matthew trailer Bert just covered by three-tenths of a second around the back to take the risk are under eight minutes three seconds the rest but he made a poor start he's paying the prices in behind for the paintings BMW and Phillip egg is not leaving a hint this is really playing it for hands of Sammy magic Road and 11 point now twelve point four seconds three seconds of that the rest that tells the story but canopy know if you could get in front of this big club you be sure to be able to pull away but the big question is will air when as you can see Billy Payne is running right here to the circuit and beyond and then those behind Phillip Ellis in their Mercedes caught up from seats affected by the time they've got around the opening quarter on that one but he gradually falling back right now it's all about can I be super super impressed with all I've seen in this second round the digital Berber Greek Lang strip of the series very very good to watch Bruce Jones still this part of the second and third are is the best old that the circuits in Porsche 911 cookplus 20th position on down over mark Asha that links that now for Asha racing though is that a change - cloudy skies is it second position he's two seconds further back at edits the Sheila Kowski for Black Bolt the team ident it goes up to 270 276 and 250 the top three in that class in the 78 gt4 katha good colleague answered the course embracing leads team who Singh felt that's Leonard Hartford's number three or want car he's got about a couple of seconds on the leader or behind the leader that's sim racing channel black Marcus Dex it is in third position and in TC are it's an Audi class that with Jurgen Frankie's leg for sim RC TCR from the start but he's been closed down by Marius got him back now who's brought Steven ledger with him as well and now we've got two three cars at the front of TCR within a second but still this cracking battle continues for second position with the leader and poor position man just getting away from all this Sammy Matti trogir they're still 2020 six minutes to go just under Etrigan now for eight seconds to the good for egg and canopy nor absolutely locked together with Phillip egg she's dropping back now into the clutches of Burt locking offer Jenson and flurry on board and he's got his hands full now with Richard Westbrook closing in on him for eighth and ninth position frozen what you always have to look at look out for the Nurburgring the next corner most certainly the clouds the sky is changing the day is becoming grayer that could be a factor later race broken clouds you can see but some quite dark ones up there so let's see how that unfolds we go up through the race so hard to draw one's eyes away from its battle for second place Philippe doing all he knows how don't forget they're going to come across traffic Sibley soon that could be the moment Augustine cavaquinho is waiting for in that number 186 Audi from Marla racing team but right now it is all about the Williamses sports team Foreman on team makes a massive massive effort in iRacing and Sims and clearly proving a master class so far for family Marty Brogan you had chocolate well hey Joe I just just saying and it's very close a lot of the other class is just five seconds gaps between first and second in the 718 the Porsche Cayman class but really really close battles in behind as well so well worth keeping an eye out for dope again these patterns could be disrupted for the fastest cars at the top fast the gt3 runners have been racing what's known as the SP 9 class here get to come barging through they won't have a problem with the driver at the front of the field unless they're not paying attention because he's well clear but when you get the goggles and cars coming through and they've really really got to look out for themselves so this third fourth and almost fifth position onto the back of that as well evening pyramid class that's the cup three category and as the side-by-side action coming towards the tea garden at the end of the laughs absolutely side by side who is going to give where the blue car Christian woofers or French sport may just have the advantage when they come to the right-hander here but he's hit the curb and that pictures the car sideways and he does very well indeed to hold on to that Marquez deck for simracing channel black he's in the orange and white car is near come on at the Grand Prix stretcher and complete their full flap and that was very tight racing indeed and for my money than one the driver who gains a little bit there was the next car back which is steamed ledger in the four centuries sorry you know it's not that's the wrong category which is some liebert in the course of racing to car at the 3 or 3 which is sitting in behind that but I'll put masterful piece of driving by bought there and I've said this before many times but this is the sort of circuit Bruce where if somebody asks you for a little bit of racing room it's really in everybody's interest if you do that and we saw that perfectly well they're entirely so we talked earlier John about how it incinerates the get that seat-of-the-pants to put what the battle felt three wheels off tarmac over the curb there for Christian bugger then coming down we're now looking through his windscreen the three three three Porsche Cayman still in fourth place overall but that was a massive massive Beaufort they're just at the end of well they were side by side going for the corner that seeks to the left and then the right and then the left again he got Airport but somehow managed to get it down to the deck and keep it there in fourth place in class but really really tight battling in the Cup three class triple three Christian book then looking forward from his cars to head on to the Nordschleife er number 399 is the Marcus Dex rivet suppressing Channel car you know you start off really as you meet the gwaan don't you when you go on the Nordschleife er under the hats of buck which is this sinuous length right-left-right fourth fifth brick from the middle of the road down to third breaking all the way up to the air exit that right-hander in the little kid squirt of power trying to keep the car balanced and then just balancing the car and throttle the bricks before you cook to the left right Shakira which leads you down and over the bridge take a bit of curb on the right can take a weave on a curb on the left there but not too much of the white sunset on the car now heading over the brow and up to the fearsome double right-hander a little tap of the bricks maybe to keep the car on the ground and then balancing the car fifth gear through that for Moss ritsos and how they manage to do that even in the virtual world without halting their breath maybe they do because I can't do it and all that it is very very tough through there indeed TCR well that's a similar story Bruce as we've got in the 17th in Cayman class with the leader Carl Lee Hanson and we're by a couple of seconds in the Porsche GT for class well in the TCR class it's Jurgen Frank for symmetry RCTC are who leads from Marcos go back in second and then false entry 16 lead Kerr is in third position and those three Oh right just starting a new lap now and heading up towards the knowledge life and there's absolutely nothing between them all identical cars of course it's a second between them there's a five-second gap back to Dennis Neihardt then there's another gang of cars a couple of seconds back another three cards Oliver Ackerman Dom Atkinson jr. racing for Phoenix racing and Phillip Eckert so as you say one at the moment when you run too wide hit the curb get spat off the line you're suddenly in the next group back but that first three yoga Frank just hanging on great to watch again that point where you leave the gold free circuit you turn left at the the North care of ectopy they go down to Hansen back you can't help but use a different part of your brain you must relax a little bit of the gore protector but as soon as you've got the trees I decide that it really is the very essence the nürburgring nordschleife er which is what people just love so much and it does look brilliant today this is the second round of the digital Nurburgring Langston series and we will run them through the course of season and hopefully we'll have the in the real world racing starting again in the next couple of months because this is a championship that runs all year runs in fact final round speed push backers first weekend in November you can Majan this track at altitude in the trees where you get every sort whether it is a brilliant brilliant series of the bride range of cars this weekend just the four classes it's the flying cars leading the field those are gt3 elsewhere in the world but sp9 here at the Nurburgring and really really great racing but hats off at the moment to the driver leading the race for William V sports Sammy macro goon nearly 17 and a half seconds clear of filly peg masterful drive at the front of the field I just wonder grace how much fellow egg space is made dictated by the fact that he's fighting off arms did caliphate or we saw him waving quite significantly on the tonic ahora last time around the BS competition pmw his last lap around were 753 and that was in itself nearly seven seconds of that 16 seconds that Sammy trogon has pulled out on the rest of the field and nobody else is near by the way or organs times best lapis is 747 at 8:45 which was his last lap nobody else anywhere close to that maker bought the lot he 752 max offer 752 also in the 52 Jensen for everyone else in the 53 or beyond and Phillip Ellis for HTP windward also in the 52 s last time around here's an opportunity for that second place battle perhaps to change as they eat traffic also touch there between the third place car and the outing that they were trying and go by on another one as well and that was the triple for Audi that's got absolutely nailed by the third place car and the triple for driven by a Jurgen net the ultimate net racing machine absolutely slammed there as they were heading up to the base of the run to the carousel super quick Arian I can understand why I'm sorry that I'm absolutely wrong there that is said at the end of the Fox Hill biology by canopy no was crossed because Paul Dean Erick did pull across his park maybe saw the first of it that first cone which is Billy Peggy's BMW didn't see canopy no one pursues pulled across and then you can see canapé no gives them a more than or different grip after that but that said the battle for centipedes for now I was about to try bid moments before that soon as they get to the long straight back to the pits through the dotting of her it would be another chance for the Audi to get into second place and once in second I really feel canopy no would pull away from Philly pain but egg has driven a masterful defensive race thus far and I don't know if there's any damage to canopy nose out into running about three seconds down behind Billy paying but that battle has been shattered by the moment halfway around the lap remember stopped and called penalties for incidents at yield rack up the incident number as you go through first will be at 20 and then every five incident points after that and just to make a point as we did at the injuries Sebring a couple of weekends ago for him to suit the Sebring and by the way insert coming to a computer screen ninu every other Thursday and watch out for the details of those that game will be a 15-car all GT LeMond risk with into drivers but an exactly the same way as Sebring evolved and track temperature can go up and down depending on the weather conditions but will exactly the same here at the nürburgring nordschleife we can't rain we can't get all the casts we can't get fog and we can't get a big temperature change here and that will affect how the cars handle was that the core car just hitting the wall there coming out of pollution you know I think it was scraping down the arm core on the left-hand side of the car in this tremendous battle that they're having in TCR which is been going on for several laps and that's the at the Juergen frank lace at least Juergen Frank and Marius Colin bekenstein led get whooping battling for a second and third that is the four or three then that we're looking at for the 485 the black car of stink LED get the full scent Gracie sitting in behind and I did just think that we saw a little flash on the arm core there will notice if you're watching the pictures I know some of you are listening on Aras one taking us around your Saturday jobs maybe doing a bit of work in the garden at the moment if you're watching the feed WWWE or - you look good at UK the Blues that you ought to on the rear window of the white orange and black core car is its position in class so that does give you the clue and that's what we're looking at this world on the feed from our colleagues at the Nurburgring and once again thank you to Michael and the team at the Nurburgring and also to VCC all new power the NL s digital series for bringing us on board for this Nurburgring very close to all of our hearts Bruce Jones one of the team who calls the races for us in the real world with once that gets back under we're at some steer to this season we hope soon but great to be involved and this is a place that I love going to anytime I get an opportunity to get out down the track if this matter what car you've got just take a few moments to drive around don't have to drive flat-out to appreciate Bruce Jones just how challenging this really is I just think now that steel ed get it's got a bit of a draft now on the car car car cork our piece of mixer ahead of them is they head up to the pill time for each other Donna get hurt you don't think in this three-car train the driver at the back is getting a fabulous fabulous tow but as we see the track jinx the left then cuts the right you saw one of the Porsche Caymans getting airborne up there it's going to be very tight indeed they're running down this super super long straight straight of course with the left-hander halfway down it but now they're really serious bits they go up the rise into XP the brems curve the staying off the curbs pretty tired into the last sequence of fallers so they'll all live to fight another lap but this is so so tight for first second and third in fact team legend getting it slightly wrong coming out of that final corner loose could choose me loses a little bit of ground but just to pick up on your point all got a burr Sade's going into the pits in the background was that Phillip Ellis I can tell you in the in the top class that Dominic it was Philip airing at Philip Ellis both going in and Matt's office gone in as well so that's at the end of that sixth lap so that is the end of the sixth lap and they have come into the pit lid so that's third fourth fifth richard Westbrook's gone through so he will take a board position for Phoenix racing in the number 14 now fuel first remember it in these competitions it's back to what I consider the best way of doing things with fuel and tires separate so if you can see every bit of fuel and you put a bit less fuel in or you don't have to do tires there is an actual bit of saving going on driver change for them hang out Alexander Voss in onto the BMW no does it go up on its jacks and get a new set of tires there's the question I'd say no from that I'll check the pits laying time in a moment but he is the first out came in at the 3rd position one second John has just makes Elliot yes it's canopy no had that problem it does he came into the pits he was listed as third but that's because canopy no had gong-gong shrub straight in second place so it's Audi's first and second still Sammy matigan nearly 21 seconds the good over canopy no let's see what happens the car that Philip end roads so defensively he's in behind the Mercedes so the Mercedes made a better pitch stop Phillip Ellis handed handing that over to Marvin deeds to certain all sorts of things of the last handful of years ahead about HTP windward car you saw it that's my brain reserve suddenly having a little bit of a wobble Sade's ahead but yes it did was that not Yannick next ler ahead of him in the risk fuel academy Fred's car it could well my taffy see let's keep an eye on that as they go through the next split point TCR always good battles there at dozen cars in TCR and the cup free Porsche Cayman class little fewer than that in the cup to 911 category and now of course with pit stops for some of the cars but not others some of the classes but not others we are seeing the lab Murray that we knew would come and still over two hours Bruce Jones to call hear your side of it's not yet for sale Sammy Maddox wrong good and I just wonder what Richard Westbrook's tactics are now Richard wasn't meant to start and that number 14 car that was supposed be Mike Rockenfeller I haven't seen his name yet Kevin Volk is the third driver there I just wonder if Mike's not here and and Richard might do a double before handing it Kevin to finish off or will it be Westy to bulk and then back to Westie or is Mike Rockenfeller being saved but we don't know if as we can't see down into the mix now taking a little look at those pit stops it looks as though it was a 31-point for seconds at a standstill for the BS competition car that filly been brought in from second place and the best the rest of the pits was I think barb indeed so when I talked about Dietz moving ahead he didn't it was that he's come back ahead it's well spotted John ahead of one of the other BMWs out on the circuit but it interests you see that variable in times most of pit stops are running about 37 seconds but 31.4 bear that in mind for the one eight nine fierce competition BMW could have been very very good indeed that one what we're expecting to see with big green of course all the way through this sami market Rogan has led every lap until Martin Asha at the wheel of the leading Porsche 911 cook car into the think position with pit stops for the faster cars around him colleague answered leads in the three or four for core now in the at nine in the 718 human class yeah that's okay then a Tuscan felt the team at Earth Osby felt a machine with that Hartford you have that big sense there and it's Jurgen Frank who as again I think led every lap for the TCR category all of a sudden it gets Furi Furi pity indeed heading down towards the Bridget dad now had the second entrance for the tourist laps come sit on the right hand side this is where the drivers really have to keep their concentration you can't yet as I don't think you can get quite as close to people simracing is you do in real life we see don't we Bruce time after time on the Nurburgring what I would think was unnecessarily close driving when laughing but that's because there's a lot of trust there I'm not sure that we see the drivers getting as course under sim racing competition because there's there is inevitably a little bit a little tiny bit of a bit of lag there I really think you've cooked that down to me and nanoseconds but even so you don't want to take too many chances no indeed and I saw one of the BMW is getting really caught out of the the debts about an average and having to come off the throttle accordingly but you're quite right I think in real life they might have just been able to make the move and go past the TCR class cards but one thing I just noticed is talking of Chaffey suddenly the race pace last time around of our race leader he's still 21 seconds cleared that Sammy Matty trogon was Oh best part of five at a bit seconds down on his best lap he certainly was much closer to this previous lap so he - even though he was leading with nobody on his tail was caught out making his way through but no point in his sitting on the 21 second advantage taking too much of a risk oh my goodness me Odie's first second third and all the way through the class in the TCR class Jurgen front Murray's going back steel edge and Dennis need Hart right in there as well and I think that's the fifth place Oliver Ackerman in the t3 motorsport car the 471 who's in there about maybe five or six Carlin's further back and he's drunk dragging the sixth place driver with him as well this is extraordinary still as the TCR fit oh no that's not that is one of the gt3 cars that's in there that could cause all kinds of trouble as they come through and that was me Dominic Baumann then in the team place hosting felt what a wond car the flat car yes it is picking his way through that battle which is for the lead rusik TCR that's the lead down to fifth position all roofing speaking on the same piece of track as they go through but at least they go through Britain yes indeed well we had a lead trio and you could see two packs in behind starting to close it it's now four but this pack is going to be broken up as a Dominic bounce Mercedes come through but Dominic's been in the pits not once but twice that's why he's only 21st at a 23 car class and just trying to see who we've lost off the back of that he found that's moving his way up the old an early pit stop I think it was the end of the opening lap was really really cost Baumann and cost him time and he's losing more time in this battle but as you can see it's not just quit it said about popping up behind the quartet of cars and blasting past he knows that we've seen contact we've seen David Pitt are flipping in this race they're getting it wrong going past another car is a can have a major ramification and suddenly be boxer BMW charging through going part no it's not casted into the Sade's at the front group and Sadie's there Bauman smooth true but being chased down now buy a BMW said for picking its way up the order as well I'm just trying to work out who that fight and be IR might be one of those lady cars about to put Dominic another lap back so pit stops abroad only and the leaders in carbon lead it at a second advantage okay they've come in after seven laps their rivals large majority came in after six and Richard Westbrook course he was one of the quartet coming in he moved up to fourth place had been running night before we got the first round of pit stops underway let's see who's going to hit the deck first Karl's still coming in as cars are waiting to get to the end of their pit stops but Sammy Matti trogon the number 109 see his white car Williams e-sports gets going all over again but don't forget remember he was 21 seconds to the good before the pit stops over augustine canopy knows that he'll be into the Mercedes arena part way around it before the second of those Audi's gets underway a great great job Hagen gets out without losing he was due to do the double stint and Dominic style doing two sticks to finish this race so out goes Sammy my inktober without losing the race leads the Alexander Voss 4ps competition here through and now goes booth in second place he took over the number one eight nine car last time around from Filipe ain't with Lauren Hamish to do a double before the end of the wrist he's the battle to turn 140 see are and that's a core car that is leading TCR all of a sudden its marios Colin Beck who's gone through does that mean we've had a pit stop then and for the leader surely it must do they were battling in that pack see where the Audi's have dropped down to that pack is still absolutely together as they go through the cutout and again they've got faster traffic coming through here full send in second place is the dark car of state led to get with Dennis need heart and then Ackerman there then about five seconds back to John Atkinson jr. for Phoenix Racing East port it's the four or five car in fifth position and jurgen net yes has stopped for ultimate net racing in the triple for our well no percent is it on was the class leader Jurgen Frank he came in from there head of the core howdy he's now handed over to feel excluding down into 10th place and that character you have to go digging have to go digging to find these things sometimes yes--that's drop well down my screen up now something else you look at John very fast pit stop for the number 35 BMW Walkenhorst motorsport Michael Jetson twenty nine point eight seconds of the standstill race leader Sammy Mackie to open 31.5 a lot of the rivals 37 seconds tops so Jimmy Broadbent the YouTube star eighth place overall his currently just under 31 seconds of the pit stop so his crew one of the better ones that's the 107 team BMW Bank car account for the guy who really knows his way around simracing that the black car with the VFW and sport stripes on it me they taken that all from British Bangla and the Neil's cook will take over that car to take it to the end of the race we've still got a tad over two hours remaining saw with everybody in the top 15 having stopped and even the leaders in the Porsche 911 cooked in the pits now as well to give you a rundown plenty of lapping and orbiting going on inter in track class let's have a look at what's going on at the front of the field it was 21 seconds before the pit stops for Sammy Matt Etrigan he stayed behind the wheel of the Williams Eastport at number one or nine and has extended that lead after the pit stops it's now 28 and a half seconds Alexander boss jump into the BS competition car in second place the one at night he's playing himself in of course whereas Sammy Martinez playing behind the wheel at since the start Marvin Dinks is another 11 and a half seconds further back at the HTTP windward card had such a great start to the race by Phillip Ellis who came around the outside and dropped himself into second place but for a while so dates in third he's got 6.9 seconds on Michael Henson for the Falcon Horse motorsport BMW the 35 car in fourth with max hopper right up his tail fight to Phoenix in the number 5 Felix bracing out eat then Reyes Union in the hands of Florian bought that on the 87 car and that is your top six then augustine canopy nor the male racing team really haven't done well in that pit stop cycle they have fresh tires they they stayed in longer four tires right okay I reckon and that cost them about effectively 40 seconds bear that in mind for the later pit stops that's interesting isn't it VRS in there condor sim sport car getting its service at the moment came in from 16th position already dropping down of course the Halla Porsche Cup field have gone through and passed him he's he was having about with retired Rudi as he came into the pits in the e-team wrt squad cup bit of damage on the 18th position Mercedes that sitting back there taking penalties guys 16th and 78 so that was Jodie as well sitting there there in the penalty box I've just realized that my apologies I should have picked that up early there it's not and there then come round it's their second time in the pit so insult to injury I think you can say for them we don't think they'll be challenging williams esports for the overall trophy at the moment certainly not gone well for them in the first hour in the Porsche 911 Cooke class that's the cup to category Martin actually still leads by 5 seconds of cloudiest feet they have leaned in to the pit lane Simic racing Academy Mario Julie is in 3rd position that Lucas snippet but project et angsty Rick is in fourth position and always a good battle at fourth and fifth at the moment with Thomas Asmussen having closed right in on the body of Lucas Lippert on that project TTI today a machine they are battling out on the circuit at the moment as they head up the hill on the early part of the lap booth blue plaques heading up to her glutes and then dropping down through the Fox Hall antastic fast run earn part of the black for the top of the rise and then we could balance the car through that exceedingly quick left-hander on the bricks just about where the change in tarmac knees try and grip the car in a straight line now got to try and keep off the curbs down through the foxhole really unsettles the car certainly Thomas Asmussen we sting assiduously aware down one gear for the first left hander prick down the second game for the first right-hander then keep it straight then down one more gear at the top of the hill at the top the forest section and then gently wind the power off again this is all about flowing to left-handers to come give up the first one and then the second one is the one you've got a nail you can use the hill to slow yourself down as you come up to this under the left-hander easy on the power of the top of right handed out who were almost half in almost like a short ship out out of this one and just get the power on squirt the power short shift balance the car for the left-right flick heading downhill and you pick up the speed very very quickly here right right right and then they down all the way through the blocks to the hairpin which is going to put a bank on it brick just before you turn in for the right-hander and then down through the gearbox again I like the short shift out of here you're heading downhill now watch to the right-hand side see where the rod joins in that's your breaking point there down through the gearbox across the changing surface you can use the hill here as well just lift off it's more real need to break that order big mistake big mistake they're ahead of us person and that was the opportunity was looking for as the as Mario went white washed buyer wasn't he was chasing it was Lucas Lippert in the project GTI state car he got caught out by a flat marker there Bruce and I think lifted off but just lost the back end of the portion Austin on the right-hand side so that's a position made up for as person up to fourth position at the at the expense of Lucas Lippert yeah Lucas had been getting very very loose in front of Thomas Asmussen it was great to watch but unfortunately for him up in well down the distance as they dropped down a bit toward ex murder he saw the back marking TCR car he knew is quicker and again you're trying to carry your flow down into that compression up the rise and he simply just got slightly too loose over the curbs and far away he went just up the top pit although just is simply you're quite right Don he found himself closer than he thought he was going to be going up over the rise it's only one solution that that was not to hit the Audi that meant the spin let's see if he can keep going all over again but plenty of action between the four classes of car yeah and that's the onboard shot he hit the barriers that he might have just about got away with that you gloat sit behind apart from that one yeah I think that was lenok guys are going through in the broad diamond a racing 256 car so at least lost a couple of spots but I don't think he's doing any serious damage and they see or replay it for those of you watching online you've got the same look is wade in here is broadcast said this but it did look more to me Bruce as we were watching that on for the Sir Thomas a person at the edge team performance SR tape car had just a better car underneath him all the way through that lap they stopped pretty much exactly the same time that in the Porsche at 911 cook class but he just looked to be using less roared he wasn't riding the curbs it was all a bit less fraught for what was then they fifth place car until of course the porter star put it out of out of contention yeah I just it just seemed that Lukas Lippert was much looser he was taking more risks it was almost as though Thomas Addison was going I want to see you a bit loose there I don't need to do that and learning as he went in behind and did it very very well indeed but again it just goes to prove he could be racing beautifully for lap after lap just getting it slightly wrong possibly triggered by the driver in a car with less performance from a junior class like the TCR class cars a zoom screen and it was at a moment where that over-commitment became round and round just wasn't he just knew Asmussen was marginally quicker and simply took one risk too many but again it's the multiple variables that you have here on the nürburgring nordschleife ER and I thought it was captured absolutely beautifully by the wco replay and the fact we had an onboard one as well well that is that in fairness that is the that is the advantage of virtual racing we can go back and look at anything from any car pretty much any angle saw where we're not let we're not sort of struck out looking because we do almost always get a look from somewhere antara seldom discourse judy or if you'd like to get in touch with us but if you're still doing that Steven Lloyd has said an LS without our cameras what's not to like great job guys funny just of the two hours to go yeah 153 still to go thank you for that Sarge says field Posada watch this I've never been a fan of watching simracing however we live in interesting times very good enjoying it and it's very entertaining thanks Sarge at RSL underscore studio this is the first of a number of eSports broadcasts that we'll be getting involved with me on the bridge rusher limited network of channels we'll be bringing you some more n LS powered by VC o in the future we've also got their bi-weekly insert broadcast for you on Thursday nights more details of that to come up after the great success of him to Super Saturday now in the 718 category second and third of clause down Marcus deck in the simmering channel black confusingly the orange car right up the rear aerofoil of the 3:03 ahead which is some we'll leave it again looking like he's got a better car under him at the moment Bruce using far less broad not feeling the need to ride the curbs and unsettled the car which is what he's competitors ahead a lot maybe just a little bit too conservative as there and that isn't what cope you can ride with the block pimping on the top is there coming down where is this now they're heading down towards to their bergvik aren't there to brunch oh excuse me to britain where you've got to be careful of the camber on the roads wait so difficult to pass here unless you've got a performance advantage and of course three of the categories outside the sp9 that we're watching here this week every three of the categories effectively a single manufacturing categories with TCR being an outlaw Audi rs3 and then the two Porsche category so really it is that look behind the wheel it's making the difference exactly and as the cars go airborne sterling exerting some portion as you can see the the Cayman up ahead is very twitchy indeed a dud see a rear stop right now at the car bird riding group which is so Marcus Dex car he might be slightly twitchy as well the rear shock really tells quite a story but when this car up in front samuel Ebert hitting the curves you can see that tail coming coming around and so difficult because if you think right I'm gonna cut that side that the driver ahead hits these curves a lot of places they're really very high they can bounce it right back into your flank as you try and dive up the inside so Parker's deck exerting a fair bit of caution as he tucks in behind he does seem to have the car you've got to be patient of course that what they're looking for is coming up on a TCR class but throwing slowest for fall classes of cars here on the digital n LS round number two as they can provide the opportunity you want cuz otherwise chasing a car from a a one make series effectively gives you very little change indeed write a better tow as you go through the dotting ahora can this tote we made to work my gosh yes it has up into second place goes markers dick great move really good entries the long long straight back towards the pits yeah he got a fabulous run through the gallows headquarter gallant before he got his Donegal that's almost a triple ax or a triple pressure quarter and he's turned that into a phenomenal lead in that second position battle as he goes under the post dive bridge we Rick it's an age before you brick going up the hill here in for the edge of the Armco on the left-hand side and hopefully that piece you're going there major just drift by it it's an extraordinary run through the amp it's so these cars coming in for their first pit stops it's the same second for the second and third places with Baptiste glued le a before simracing having their ears now coming in he was first into the pit lane and they bought it the plan the damaged box no the garage has the other side of the damaged box okay okay it does look miss northie massaging going pop ah the Mercedes ahead so that the two Caymans have come into their pit the orange Mercedes ahead which a thing is the number is that number format fork and I think it is the dirt Muller and equal Bastion car that cars been parked didn't put them for a wee while I think and has its trouble to the top of the timing dirt Muller brought that I said that and I've just seen you just want that car input he was definitely in the penalty box there what I haven't got is the risk on all these screens I still haven't got room for the risk but for all channel which spec does exist I need another pair of eyes and another screen or two at RSL only to score studio as John it might be but it might worth at this point explaining how many screws you got in your studio setup because it's not just one with moving pictures is it let's let's call it seven and a half because I've got a little tablet in this world that's working quite nicely so we've got the strategy thanks to James as ever for providing us with our timing it's the RSL Britisher limited network of channels audio and vision sound and vision together that nls powered by V C or rad 2 of the 2020 series and will be with you for the next hour and 47 minutes so Mike Rockenfeller is in fact here there's the answer to the question Bruce that they will ask again later in its yawns Dean Valley Ted on far tracked the Assassin the in technology transfer from the wrench Trager oldest fossil we have had to give in the fabric spot faders at Sur studies at oven distance I won't give in the feed on Zohan that pod sent in Dutch flood be a bird net hands float Ponton gather there is an island moment fear since water sport via Zenta on air [Applause] [Music] you [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you you you [Music] but a phone team gets beat Phillip Nala he's in eighth base overall in the car that I thought would be the top place car better Jade stars number 186 they don't forget that started the outside the front row in the hands of agus didn't canopy know the marla racing team re that's hunter ii pitched off and handed over to another driver to alex Arana so that's why that's for the counter 30 place that whacked a second pit stop in expect that to work its way forward but can anyone do anything about the pace of sammy Matty program he will hand over the race leading 109 howdy from William he sports at some point but he continues to lap very very well indeed well II think it's clear the question has to pay Prost and it's a question that perhaps the Twitterverse could answer at RSL underscores duty or Dominic Stahl how good is he and what sort of times will he be able to put in we've not seen him I've been watching the practice and the qualifying this morning between cooking breakfast here as well but I haven't seen g-dubs name beside that car so I can't shed any light on it you had a quick look at some of the results from the first race of the season but the team the Williamses sports take didn't finish in the top four there I know they did major major upping of the the caliber of the field coming in for this this second round the digital NLS and you can certainly see team is being very serious indeed it's fitting we've got a BMW on our screen moment Michael Jensen in fourth place overall clothes closing in on Marvin deets Mercedes because BMW Motorsport put out official press releases they are taking simracing super super seriously they've got lots of DTM champions they've got drivers who start all around the world in the gt3 class and that to me says just how seriously digital racing is now being perceived yeah absolutely agree saw in the Porsche 911 clip marking Ash's still leads by 7 seconds they have done their first mid stops as well it's 115 on down over cloudiest vide that s MRC Cup and in second place in that category so that's a change of position because it was Mario juries who it was in second so they've swapped positions as presumably no miracle position after a mistake by Lucas Lippert Kaiser let it kind of a pro Dyna a racing also made up a position at that point as well Lucas limited sixth position ever up Tizen and in the red match a sports car that's literally lemon and 256 is cheer add for in all motorsports and the top nine are made up by but it's all behind for Monte racing in the 299 car which if I'm not mistaken is no that is the car that Matt Campbell was driving a couple believe did the first stint let me Martin crunket who takes that car to the finish in the Porsche 718 GT for class and I'm just to put the action a moment or two ago on the replay the VC or tree flips have been a side by side action Alex Arana for the Marla Racing team in the number 12 OD and he was under extreme pressure by quick that was feeling - Alan Berg was it it might be Nick amenities mention that 188 yeah it is mental but a bit of paint was being traded their lecture on our going forward so he's certainly doing the right things right okay let me go back to the 78 GT coupe class the 718 GT for class rather coarse abrasive leads it's Baptiste Deborah tell you that who is had the win there from Andrew I'll play mackovic for Team who seek availed who spelled a manufacture of extremely precision bid at SEMA rings and other paraphernalia for sim racing British Spengler prefers super fair gear yet he's at second anywhere at the moment rocky Vic then it's Marcus Dex and stayed behind the wheel of the sim racing number sim racing channel at 399 Porsche separately at 1834 syndra has said to us he's behind the window think second of the call sim racing cars and he's got the sim art see da carbon a machine of 3/7 number three seven six of Tom Valentini that's sitting about five seconds behind him and then TCR just to finish things off steam let's go has come out at the front after their first set of pit stops were full scent racing in the dark coloured only with Stephen Ebert 43 motorsport has bounced right of the standings in a second that's the t3 Motors bought by pkp and then it's Darius need Hartford dot XE eSports then Phoenix Racing and then Schubert so who did we lose out of all of that well we certainly lost because of the leading data initiative bad pit stops or was there an incident out on the circuit that we didn't see can't answer that one at the moment but definitely there's a new leader in TCR we had a great 5 OD battle 5-hour these four rings of age and there were seems like they were going 10 rounds actually never mind at 10 laps around the Nordschleife were an extraordinary run were putting together its briefs Georgia John hey dog third position HTP windward and Falcon Horst having a battle together the three pointed star of HTTP Winwood's there was what season wasn't there with each TP who have been very loyal to the Syrian CFG I think they've had a Bentley for one year then came back to the German grant yes they did in about I think 2014 wants to be 2015 they're about but yes really really believe he's true and true I just moment had a little scratch around John in the nicest way possible Sammy Mattie trogon signed a contract with Williams eSports this year he's also taking part in the Finnish Rally Championship and did I racing of rallycross last year so he's really quick in and out of the cockpit so that's possibly explain why he's so far clear good thank you very much to Thomas Roth who's tweeting at RSL underscore studio stalled would be ruling 746 he has a 7,000 ireia T and it's 130 percent of the races that he's ended Thank You Thomas that's great stuff at the polite perspective for those of you who were perhaps couldn't the virtual visit for the first time anything over 5,000 is thought to be pretty good you get the 9000 you pretty much in earlier are you working he clocked at a different speak to his computer completely speak so five thousand gives you an ear license up to seven thousand that's very impressive in that days hello the aerial punk who's achieved in tweets in at her RSL underscore studio good to have your company and Josh pirate as well mega consistency Philip egg 7:51 on six laps on the trot amazing for such a along that lap thanks Josh checking the timing as well thanks to James for giving it back to us today this is going to get me in trouble says richard Parsons this dream so good I'm supposed to be painting in the kitchen but I can't tear myself away team Bartlett Horst hello guys great coverage this year he had written written four new guys he entered doing his best to move up from Paul at the Mormons watching on YouTube thanks for doing this risk bringing sense of normality to everything says Tom that's what we tracked it to trying to just get things back to a little bit it can't possibly be normal at the moment but you know we're gonna do our best to take you out of what's going on in the rest of the world to the moment Alan Bradley great to he your voices on the digital and LS powered by VC or an RSL underscore stood yours the battles continue and particularly down at Callen hard for the Porsche Cayman gt4 category third and fourth pretty close together with some of the faster HP night guards Grace Jones now coming through yeah and I must say just just mentioned Walkenhorst motorsport delighted to see that the fact when we saw the underside of David Qatar's card it was a virtual event because he was right at the sharp end of the field and was caught by a car going off the traffic in front of him then coming back on just as he was fully committed but that car now in the hands of Sam Michaels right down through the field but going again spend a lot of times in the pits good to have that back out there Hayes and loads of virtual racing maybe slightly less effective than highs of lows of the real metal so no metal got bent in the making of this movie and just having a more place changes up and down the order but still nobody has the answer at all to Sammi maket over 33 seconds near enough to the good leading the race of Alexander boss in the BS competition BMW so it's outing from BMW Mercedes in third place that's Marvin deeds but he's got Nikhil Jensen in the sector that the BMWs in fourth right under his rear wing and look at some more racing action from them yeah that's pickle Jetson if they have all usual we have WM sport colors the white car with the blue and red straighter I maintain that that BMW end sport livery whether it's out of this out of the basis of a white car or indeed adverse of a black car which we've seen in reality as well as in sip racing is one of those liveries british goods that it cannot make it is impossible to make a car look bad by putting those colors off I think of the martini stripes and one or two others you even mentioned Gulf Racing us a pause at this point at the vet the variety of called racing if difference colorful clothes as well of course look at the end of the new livery is classic want it's a spot a watch it Ari's and in fact the more garage we have to be a motorized liveries very similar to that and it cannot meet Carl at verse it certainly never makes it look slower and I also like the historical continuity I still somewhere have them some old calendars I tore apart and put on my wall a home of the BMW CSL when they had those fantastic battles in the early seventies with the Ford Cologne capris on circuits most notably like this the likes of panseok him stop jumping them over the top of the crests brilliant very slippery and looks better on some than others but it never ever looks quite right John and I like that historical continuity i placed before the court preemptively on everyone throw car in full works livery yes please yes please actually get attempted offered to race one of doors in the young timer event in the real world before the Nurburgring at 24 and we've never got banned but to doing that which i think is at 3 our risk before the 24 starts in fact today in fact John I noticed the studio show at the start of further broadcasts had a dramatic race is won on a regular basis Patrick C Mon yeah sir race anything's know to be Porsches over the years but he's very very fond of his BMW m1 and quite yeah and he is a smashing guy I've worked with him in the past and he's an absolute enthusiast he last time I saw him we were in Germany at a DTM road do some work for outing if what was meant to be the final ever LD a TT cook event where we had the legends at risk for that which was grateful with Norbert doing that we but he brought down a Ford Granada 2.8 I a state car that had been the circuit intervention car at now where was it it wasn't the sample I think was solder that it had me know it might have been sample but he had that car and he was restoring it back to its former glory and somebody had turned up all the racking system in the was bit in the back for all the safety equipment bright orange it was absolutely beautiful that's the sort of blow up the Patrick case and he loves all that sort of stuff and he loves his history and he drives some very very nice classic and it's a vintage racing cars and enjoys it and why wouldn't it cause by analog cars up there absolutely so but the family has has the bug very badly I read that he was one of three C Mon brothers who came over and raced it raced in Germany race in Britain in Formula Ford you know that bug is deeply ingrained in their family's bloodstream which is good to hear he's always around with us at the mall as well and many other races through the Shepherd through the course of the year but so glad see he's still involved as we go virtual racing until we can get the real racing underway you know what John I think this would on us as well once we once we will continue watch real racing start quite a hit already yeah very true and you know that there has always been virtually racing and there will continue to be virtual racing what's interesting to me and the guys from online racing program they're going to structurae at the tour original sure which is every Thursday night on rs1 what about three full-time audio channels the grid you're sure limited at produce Thursday night eight o'clock on rs1 the guys were debating some of that and there was a very spirited and sensible debate about advertising tobacco advertising and liveries it's in racing as well on last week's show all available on the archive if you can't listen live on a Thursday and those guys 13 years the online racing Association have been going and they are still as far as I know the only online racing organization to be recognized by their national motor sports association became the UK is now called what sport UK so like the PR DC or the PRS CC tourer are recognized as a mortise more organizing pudding and the amount of detail that they're going to for their race events of their series and you've seen the kind of detail that took Brewster to the closet and these events as well in terms of the driver briefings the amount of technical briefing that goes on for all these teams and drivers at this this is not something that's together on a you know a wet Wednesday afternoon with five minutes going onto a chatroom and see it right let's start a race for two hours this is this is far beyond that seriously John I've been totally blown away I'm a newcomer to I racing and I watched a little bit a couple of a couple of weekends ago and get my eye in and again last weekend as it continues to sort of grow and grow and grow but the level of detail is absolutely astonishing and I think I mentioned this to you yesterday I remember long long ago worked back in my days and the editors chair at all to support when people started phoning up in the early 90s trying to build racing games and I you had no concept that it could get to where it is now and I think it's phenomenal in those days they were asking for a run you know what's the incline at Donington Park going out of the old hairpin and you take your happen blue but if you find a summer surveyors drawing you might have an idea but you've also got stories about how it's grown and grown and the level of accuracy is just extraordinary in track mapping well yeah and laser scanning is coming since then oh there was one but a few years now there was a project that we were going to do a TV documentary on to sure the amount of work before solid laser scanning the track and we were going to do it on the Nordschleife before you look and look and of course that's such a long track that it takes such a long time that we were going to get every layers of Skadden piece of equipment certainly in Europe there and do it in in chunks but all at the same time and try and do it all overnight because you don't want to close down you know the rest of the time there's Taurus labs or there's industry what's what automotive industry days of testing and you know period events going on on this track so you know the Nurburgring very cake doctor shut down their their method of getting incoming and it actually didn't it didn't happen in feed the form that we were going to do it but when you do Mele is a scanner a truck which is what I racing had gone for at Sebring for example that track was last gun in 2011 and that is accurate to plus or minus one filament anywhere around the track and that includes all the books pants yeah all right has the the trap involved with the few chilly witness since 2007 yes but the point is it was exact or exactly she could be frankly one millimeter either way so that's a nutter that's a maximum difference of two millimeters anywhere of a circuit then I'm going to say that that's exact I I can't tell the difference one or two million filiming is in terms of whether that footprints like it does or that kerb feels like it does and I'm there's nobody other than a dinner engineer that probably tell you that sort of detail so that is effectively spot-on and this is what we're talking about here and again I'm coming to this and watching I except we've got an audience here this weekend who probably would normally watch online racing but that's the level of accuracy that you're talking about are the car models in particular are very very accurate have been worked on to the point where an idol of cheering car teams will do basic setup actually pull out the trophy suburban events with a second after boozing because it is that close to reality it's an extraordinary thing this is simulation this isn't the game this is simulation and there's a big difference between the two and this battle for third position he's starting the hot lava game with me Kelly ensign in the BMW the white Range a blue car being closed in on by Marvin Deeks in fact those two uh swap places haven't they they have his face yeah so so that's against it's gone through because he was in fourth position frozen yeah he was born in a bit second faster and asked time around 1.3 seconds faster last time right he looked pretty tidy having broken his weight here again it didn't qualify exactly where he wanted to be volcanoes motorsport that car started in 10th some their rivals have taken on tires of their pit stop whereas the Jets in car number 35 will be doing that when it comes in for its second of three pit stops in this earth in this race and then yeah how they go but in terms of lap times up from the lead of the race Sammy material has done two stints have doubt just pitted either second or two into his pit stall whereas his rivals in third and fourth position be riding with them now haven't got yet level with the pits that's interesting he's come in a lap earlier that last time around he teach December 7 ended seven and now he's done actually done I has across the line yeah five mobster in that second stint and Alexander Voss right coming as well so now I wouldn't if that's just half distance it is pretty much isn't it it's it's halfway through the three hours so then he's now gonna hand over to a very handy I racing driver Dominic style with a rating of 7,000 and that's extremely handy indeed and he will take on the Williams eSport machine are also coming in from second place did we get the second place car yes we did Lauren Heinrich in and in and out so Florian Borden has gone through four RIS Union and will lead the race yeah he's in number 87 and I'm sure we'll be coming in next time around so his Audi at the front he's sharing with Marvin auto back maybe they're just gonna split this 50/50 in this three hour race I think that's exactly what's happening I also think what we saw was no tires for the first stop for the leading car because he knew he was already effectively doing a stint and just over 1/2 to 2/3 let's see so a bit new tires odd for the new drivers Florie important cause through there into the lead seven laps on the stint for Florian at the moment and he's been in the car since the start so it's six laps of his first int and on his seventh lap now would presume he'll come in at the end of this lap in the rear Seeley of SPD and the examined car were talking about the knitter as because Bruce has just mentioned Marvin after back who will do the second half of that risk Kristian crimes has gotten on board thee well that horse motorsport number 35 team and that cars back up again he's come out in seventh position yeah Jimmy Broadbent is out in the one or seven Neil's Cook has got it said that Jack Sedgwick out of the pits at the 48 team or Scheider in the Audi number for one fall that's one of TCR cars team all out so that's another big name real world driver we've literally got big name real world drivers through all four classes are in in this n LS power five VC or and we're just under half distance pros towards the paint job hide your thoughts on the first half of the race race tremendously consistent and few mistakes we've seen big accidents but really you know we're looking at people at the very top of their game in the same world bought from the real world at the SIPP world we're not seeing people weaving around of the defender deposition expecting was doing earlier on but not the cars are tracking straight through the Arctic drop the racing lines exactly as you'd expect from people at the top of their game no indeed and I think that we're going to see first of all I'm massively deeply impressed by by the show that's been put on by a VCO for the digital n LS series I think I think it's phenomenal whatever the information we're getting is is good and it will be getting better and better as we advance through the season but I think what I sort of expected with these big-name racing drivers in among sim races will be the sim races of totally on top of their game we've seen that with a family matter token but what we're seeing is the gap between them and the regular professional racing drivers is going to come down by the round they will be very very busy they'll be working a seven day week because if they're being losing a second or two around the Nordschleife that they won't want to do that next time around and I think we see the gap between the Pro drivers you saw this in the States will close by the week by the month through the course of this season and I think it's very very interesting there's another slant on on the whole equation and I'm just really really grateful we got some simple it's my racing to watch while full metal racing is put in the sidelines while COBIT 19 is being sorted out hello to a dream bug origines tweeted out RS else to underscore studio which is how you get in touch with us loving the coverage grid graphics is camera handles nice to hear a handoff and John's bringing it to life but it kind of you see sort or achieved in of course and now a weekly sure on Thursday looking at all things sim and on like Kurt Hallie ensign qualities for absence real sorry I've been late to the book but I had a 215 that black NASCAR race at I raised a hot finish but he's in there that's the last thing at Jesse peel that is saying what I like is so many of these races are streamed free great with what people trying to save money right now it's good isn't it and by the way a Taurus saying we hope you get to enjoy even more severe eating in the coming great as the Porsche races Super Cup and MZ events all coming up the next few weeks every other Thursday as well for emphasis more details on the circuits and the entry remember we have 50 mg drivers for Super Saturday right let's pick up some of the battles again here asthma into the second half now at the end LS power twice we seal this is round two carving their way through the traffic and it's looks like it's a couple over cars battling for position they've just got past the number 14 that's the Mike Rockenfeller feat Nick's car so the question was was that a battle for position or was that the leaders it was the leaders going through it was Dominic style Steiff and Lauren Heinrich it for Williams eSport and free s competition Florian poor dad still leads but also some pit stop then the tropical tour this is second third and fourth absolutely together the gold OD is rotten fella we expected him to start the race but he gives that privilege up to Richard Westbrook who did a sterling job went a lot longer than many of the other cars around and there at the finish of the hill heading up to the Caracciola carousel now second third and fourth absolutely together and behind them Phillip nor left for Port Authority get screen is not that far away either Christine crimes just about a second behind him sixth and seventh energy Phillip Shallenberger racing fuel Academy in eighth Jack's a trip for HTTP win with ninth in the top ten mid or private BMW back the number 107 that's sir now Scott in that car put it what for three-car battle back here they'll make that a four-car battle back but there is another gt3 car coming up the back of that as they're heading through traffic at the moment and that's another Audi lead sir in the back of this little group of cars that are battling the second on down and what a can't work out Bruce you see that other audience because I don't have seconds that's precise would I be trying to work out but of course what we have is hole expert Arya Trudy it's retired true do they gives a lap back but each East quicker on two pit stops he's done two pit stops whereas the number servant of the quarry separate places only done the one I think that's the situation we're finding at the moment number that's Mike Rockenfeller let's see what's he them there he's yeah just the one interesting so Merkel Berta Lottie started that car Battaglia Trudy's in it now it's the 88 team WR t1 now he's in 17th position in class which puts him down in 25th overall but he's clearly got some place in that car now and he's trying to make up some ground before he hands it off to Dominic gab leisure to take that car to the end that was what was so here's a strange one John go ahead a pit stop form attired Rudy's car was a 2.4 seconds of the span still a Sarah maybe it served a penalty right if not the full five-minute penalty or keep an eye cuz everyone else to pit stops a quick pit stop without a tire change as mr. Knab which is just under 30 seconds with the tire change about 1 minute 10 to 2.4 seconds it doesn't quite equate to either of those yeah that's right down is everything he is born lap off the lead I wonder if he's had a stop and stop and go that's what I threw for incident camps remember it was 20 incident count for the first stop making one then every 5 after that brings you back in at to the pit lane so that's it he's one lap off the lead will trying to get that back through cause Dominic's time who now leads because Florian poor Dan has come in from the lead in the race Union sp9 that's the number 87 car so stabbed back in the lead for Williams eSports then after back in second up to but rather getting into the British Union car 40 seconds is the gap back to effective second place now sorry 27 at the screen moving faster than my brain 27 second Lauren Heinrich would be as competition so sort of as you were not so long ago the williams esports audi leading from the fierce competition BMW times during the way of the Williams eSport outi at the front of the field so where's Otto Packer to drop back in in that race union team car the 87th that's the question at 7th I would reckon right okay in the Audi class TCR category it is we down the field for that in that class still stayin legit who lead to full center a sixth even Ebert in second Yannick Brenner for Phoenix in third 11th position the 4 or 1 girls only by Nurburgring eSports curry Shriner and psyllium are taught in there OD did Celia driving at the moment in 11th position they've got a team or Scheider a lot further back in 12th and see who they're trying to chase down leonhart off force good area August or burg new further round there is a degree of two degree of difference of ability and experience here as you always get on the Nurburgring saw Grand Sport in seventh torsten Kratz in the triple 3 it's got Manuel viable in the 397 t RS all car and this is the Porsche category those two are battling positions to the Cayman gt4 cook class what a draft what a draft manna well got there and is that into the tea garden now gross he might even have a chance running to eff this stay out which I think they should do they're not you a quick stop yet he's gonna have a run into the first corner here and that was all down to the the drag the aerodynamic advantage she got down the Tonica who you know we've seen that before with the the Cayman class in Cup three because they're about half a dozen laps ago we had one gaining third position in the dragon he got it long there's only just past tossing her long before tiger and seemed to punish quite a big hole which is quite extraordinary for such neat cars or maybe the beach slight mistakes coming onto the onto the the long long straight back towards the pits but certainly these Caymans very very good to watch indeed and as that this that position chips yes it parts the freedom sevens gone through that is back well a viable in the RS or 397 now ahead the saw a great sports taunted Kratz driven triple three I have a suspicion but that one is not over yet and although we've got a three-hour rich probably around three hours at that six or seven minutes in since we had the green flag these guys will be dragging each other to have Donecker Hall and trying for an orbit ich coming to the line that is the way of these cup classes and I have had many a chuckle with Joanie Parma and Bruce Jones in the real-life version of the NL s organized by the VL ed where we clean well after the leaders have pulled their cars up depart fermier and then all of a sudden there's a cook for or a cook free we have W gaggle of cars which are four major positions some five six seven minutes now after effectively the race at the front of the field is well and truly over and Johnny and Bruce having to pick themselves up again and find another Kia which their manfully to every stop gathering your bits of know paper pudding in the house you got to keep looking okay attention and then of course one of the biggest races of all is a to then sort many many classes to go up to their podium ceremony at the end of the day it's a potato you're a little bit ran out but that's been certain people who work the podium so everything have to really really be on their toes it heard a lot of people who are there a lot of them just for the crack and in the junior classes and you know maybe not used by professional drivers to understand when they are required at the podium so it really is a herding fish combination Tom Valentini in the sim RC team at closing up on the back of this battle for fourth and fifth between team whose can belt and just in there as well this is the again this is another Porsche or Porsche GT for battle and they're having a cracking battle at the moment I'm top gaming by my days Lukas Miller 369 car right in that as well watch that mustard colored car coming in behind them because that is the next car back I'm pretty certain yeah it is it's the same RC t a carbon Tom Valentini driven 376 so this now Bruce is fourth fifth and sixth and their rocky big Lukas Muller and Tom Valentini and they are all battling for position 3 or 1/3 69 and 376 fourth fifth and sixth position in the Cayman gt4 class if they stay like this they'll be joined by Manuel Bible as well a handful of seconds back because they're certainly slowing each other down but very very tidy driving I've been really impressed particularly with the Cup three class that's the Porsche 718 Caymans and again some great onboard footage looking backwards again if you've never seen a race in the nürburgring Nordschleife oh why not but this is a really really good advertisement for just how hard these drivers have to work and again you mentioned it time and time again John one little slip-up and it can really cost you half a lap or even laps over trying to gain an odd second here or there so easy to slip but I must say this rage people have been very very impressive indeed is this your first experience of watching suppressing it at this level great first well at the last couple of weekend's I've hadn't looked see but I must say this has impressed me deeply and I think a lot of it also is simply just that the majesty of the nürburgring nordschleife er and the sheer level of vert accuracy of the backdrops I mean all they haven't got it's a the crowd should have around the full circuit for the Nurburgring 24 hours that'll take a little longer to to color in in the background and therefore the atmosphere that rises later in the year but I think they've done it an astonishing job so yes first real full taste and certainly when you commentate on it you get far more wrapped in it and if you're just simply having a casual look with a cup of tea so yes loving it plenty more of this to come in the coming weeks hello to Randy brown whose memory serves Randy is in Washington State Seattle and he is one of the army of essential workers who are still getting the post out in the Pacific Northwest thanks very much for all your hard work Randy heading into the drive into work so hoping listening on rs1 part of thing video sure limitless network of audio and video channels if you can't stay and watch the full race you can take it with you in audio only we don't want you being too distracted if you are doing essential work and having to drive somewhere take it with you and Link it to your car wife you going out for a wharf you can have your ear pussied and listen to it rs1 one of three full-time audio channels with always more the sport of auto racing content on it thanks Randy keep up the good work me a place to surf and look after yourself over there I warn you so still by the way a very pleasant eighteen point three degrees Celsius barely any winds seven eight kilometers an hour and the track temperature has been absolutely solid at roundabouts 25 degrees Celsius still a little bit of cloud in the sky and if there's much more cloud than that it will affect the track temperature we didn't have fog for the first nls how five weeks to your wrist no sign of that at the moment we can't get rain pierre acts the norwich lifer in this simulation what different temperatures will have a marked difference on the track which is evolving all the time by the way so at certain parts of the circuit you might see it actually if you look carefully on the Grand Prix circuit you might just see a little bit of marbles on the outside of the ideal racing line on the Nordschleife er it tends to be there's so many different lines are there to touch there at that but in the GT 4 category and that was a little gentlemen's excuse me they're coming through if you don't mind in that battle that we've been watching and it was Tom Valentini in the sim RC machine wasn't it him went through I thought was rocky feeling behind it yet battle just a frag rocky bacon moolah yeah it's you know that grasses rather kind if it obviously hasn't been raining overnight you were talking about the track conditions it's gone up two degrees it was 23 degrees at the start the race so just after the start it's now 25 air temperature 18 degrees little gusts of wind nothing too much but it certainly would have been a bit windy in the cockpit there the car up moving sideways off the track onto the grass but fortunately not kissing the barriers and for under a rock you Vic fourth to fifth but he's still ahead of Tom Valentini great little battle for 56 in the Cup three class as you can see still fighting as they come down the straight but you look so a cubic might lose another position Valentini and the yellow nose Porsche tucked in behind for sim RCD carbon will he get up to fifth place by the end of the lap so the little distance to go it's a straight but as you can see we kinks on it and the car and falls play is Lucas Muller doing what he needs to do to try and break the toes yeah he hasn't managed to do it and right if it's got a really good run in the blue and white on the Milstein breach you don't even really turn the wheel there you just look to the inside and you ice drive you through it now coming up to take art and super lay it on the bricks here it's quite steep the uphill and you use that to slow you down and through they call that left right left and Pitt's so forth at fifth and sixth come into the pits there so that's Valentina in the Bluenose car and ragga Vick in the yellow car rather and Valentino now instace thought they've both gone past the straight up four tires as well for the three award so that was an easy one to see so tires going on that three or one and already Maximilian Fritz listed against the team hosting quelled machine so it will be Maximilian who takes the next stint there okay I've just been keeping an eye on a car that's worked its way up the order down in 13th at one point Alex araña took over the 186 outie that start on the outside of the front row for for Marla Racing team up to third now Alex Arana took that over from Augustine canopy no but that took tires at its first pit stop didn't at the second where most of its rival did the reverse and that was a very short second stint there for canopy nor all right I think that was only a two lap stint yes it was that was only a two lap stink and an Iran has been in that car now for five laps with a best lap time of 7 minutes 50.1 that's not messing about for Alex no unfortunately for him there to cart drivers in front Dominic's dive in the Williams e-sports outie and the BS competition BMW with Lauren Heinrich last time around with doing in seven minute 49 s they are marginally faster but certainly for modern racing team it's been a good stint for Mirana and he didn't just have to do the lap times he had to do the overtaking as well and really did a very very good job as we've seen it's a hard track even though it's 25 and a bit kilometers around it's a hard track to find a passing place but if a battle starting to build up at the head of the class that we've been watching recently by the way the 301 and the 376 basic belt machine out ahead as it was just a little wheel off the grass on the grass there for the hosting veldt driver maxi freaks right behind him now Marcel Fassbender force MRCA a carbon that's in the just at the side of that car and seeing what they was think going onto the backs of buck now and the black and yellow car see who the major sponsor was on that car lovely word by all of the livery artists by the way chat with Andy blackboard real-world artist Ernest the gun that's both originally about ASEAN one szura in its yarn Steen Valley Ted on far trip be a shuttle in technology transfer from their range tiger OD tossa the affair they can give in the fabric spot faders at Sur studies at all them distance ridin won't give in to fear done so Honda pod sent in Dodge van via a button it helps float on tin gather there is an island moment fear since more Tosh part via Zenta on air [Applause] [Music] you [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you you you [Music] filming for the bangs hangs hands but Lauren Heinrich he's showing he is more than equal in fact he bettered the page with a bang set in the first part at the rage yes he's not really very close to anybody else but in fact Alex of rather is now starting to close into within a small distance behind so he hasn't got it all his own ways he sets off after Dominic's died but he putting in a very good number of laps but still the gold standard is the driver who started on pole position in the Williamses sports Audi that's the 109 car started by Sammy Matti trogon a star of I racing signed up by Williams for all of this sim racing and also takes part in the Finnish Rally Championship - sure he will when the rounds get underway without interruption so a star behind a virtual wheel and a real one and he certainly put that kind of commanding lead but it is coming down they time plateau for sixth and seven in that the Porsche Cup cut the Greek and then beaut looking for a way past burnt as a bell and this is the great car in sixth position in class that's Bernstein well the project gt9 stopped they hate with the red markings autograph him put behind at the 211 and he's right behind us almost a little bit of book drafting and you really can't do that here has to be very precise flat out through the left's and rights don't take too much of the curbs don't forget the green that green and silver Porter is the one went off further in the race Lucas Lippert having a moment um where am i laughs don't forget it just missed the barriers went lost the position went down to fifth base in class is still there all they're about but it could have been a very different story indeed but being driven very well there by birth Siebel exactly commentators curse I asked myself Metzger felt and threw the first of two left hand as the second one slightly uphill get turned in nice and early steer to the middle of the road and now down the hill to this very heavy bringing area to because we're getting Britain point about there eating a lot over a wheel their short shift but the gear and then just balance the car on the throttle you want to be putting this little input in as possible through these tricky right-handers as you're plunging downhill it's the left hand hair pit to come next all the way down through the gearbox trying to stay off the curbs Wharfside and now heading down towards the pitcher dad nap and again remember the visual cue is the little access road on the right-hand side that's where you thinking about bringing and turning in ease their car for the second of the left in Matisse hope that he'll nor need to break there you can let the it'll slow you down great run by the seventh position car the rev-matching sports car goes to the left-hand side he's got a little bit of an overlap that's good driving quite both of those Porsche pilots there as they came through the left-hander before bad work that was set up brilliantly by him who did a good job a couple of corners further back to closing and once he got the awful up got a sear bridge very very sensible driving him did the hard work and got the overlap of burnt Siple deep Z bolts to excuse me for the project GT I'd start a driver Heath did a fabulous job of being aware of what was going on around him he was neat and tidy but ever since about 30 seconds ago I said he's driving really well he started to get looser and looser you could see he just couldn't get the car to turn in where he wanted and that is why him Bert who the Dutchman had that fantastic run up the hill and made it work but again as you pointed out the fact that both people gave him a bit of space and he's now trying to fight back but certainly pinball has it has a better car under him or he's driving it in a better manner at this point in the race we're into the final hour into the fine air already how did that happen absolutely right at Grace Jones have John Heinz Hopf let's give you a run through what's going on this battles all over at the moment let's start in TCR which we have seen for a little while but still decent really sync going in there only TCR to a DRS three LMS is that Steven Ebert 43 motorsport for quickly kfp who is leading but also some pit stop he's only done one stop that there that you're Kim planache who the full scent racing 485 car which was racing he's down in fourth position it's the first TCF carton who've done two stops so that means Ebert Martin ashes for Schubert racing a shipment motorsport in seconds before 28 and Yannick Brenner in third the Phoenix Racing team sport they're still also picked off first of the pit Stoppers dead before 85 yup confer an ocean full Saint Grayson then the deal t-top XE in sport s need heart that is in fifth and six Patrick Cuban itch who is in the course in racing car he also submitted up as well so next up is Conor carnac's for month water sports embracing he has been his second pit stop yes he hasn't he's in sixth position put some of those cars at least three or four of those cars needing to make pit stops in the Porsche GT four foot what exciting racing it has been Marcus tech leads by two tenths of a second from SATA syndra SATs in satis in second most before it's Baptiste boot Elliott in third place also for core and there's nothing between the lead car of the three all three they are tracking in each of those wheel tracks at the moment is their head up the hill towards 12 insurance and the top of the box naught or some fierce of left-hander look for the change in tarmac and start to get the car slowed down steel fat right hand curb up just unsettle you and then down through the Fox all that's first and second and right in behind sex us is the third place car the second of the sim racing core machines and that's parties quick tell you about eight seconds further back Lucas Mueller is the ad hoc gaming by my days driver and then it is Marcel Fassbender for sim chair seat then da carbon in the 376 car and all of those cars are on the same pitch strategy at the moment in 911 GT and in the 911 Cup it's Robert plots for asha racing who leads from sim RC cook to in second place that Simon Grossman it's about 23 seconds between there and then the sim racing Academy Mario jury is in third position from poor Donna really got to the green card and Becca and yen's hard traffic but each two performance SRT is in the next position that would be fifth position in gt3 and at the head of the field I'm trying to get this done before chorus you take this position at out here which is the lead in they're lining up in the 911 in the Kirov group class excuse me Dominic stab leads for Williams export but he's been gradually Realty by Lauren Heinrich for PS competition 23 seconds the gap now Alex and Rana is further thirty nine point forty seconds platform Allah racing team and the 186 in third the top six bit of my Christian cross before welcome horse racing he for the 10 seconds further but he's got 23 seconds on Jack Sedgwick for HD playing Widmer to the 48 car and valve an auto back is taking over the rear sheep with SP ninth the maybe seven which has laid on the pits stop cycles now as I took my eye off the action did anything happen to it did not the car car he's still sitting behind so that's the three or three are still sitting in second place and resets us with Marcus deck as their head up the hill from bird bird heading up the hill cause - well let's call it three Bruce because third position there the second of the chorus guys not that far behind no he's not I've been watching his lap times he's not as quick and I think he's able to stay with simple just with syndra sets ups in his sights his teammate in the 303 or so we're looking back from the car that's leading the class the sim racing travel black and true as you said black by name but not in terms of race Latrice red and blue and white Barker's deck mode leading the way in that but he is holding up syndra sense us I think every time he slightly delays in that keeps batties you tele a food le AE in the battle but he's not really the battery in fact he's only just in our shot but then let's not be picky we've done two hours and ten minutes of racing and the first three in that fast covered by two and a half second since fat's competitive they have W in motorsport waiting let's say FPS competition can still catch up to the Williamses bought a bit of a Twitter battle going on between the two accounts as well p.m. yet following them preemptively abort the sport at Williams eSports there's clearly people sitting back at base watching and listening as well there if you had any doubt about how seriously this is being taken that is the BMW motorsport account hashtag steer horn hashtag steer safe for BMW they run at Seabury in a special Institute the Saturday livery with hashtag stay home on it which I thought was very very interesting in that the site for the conditions right down to luncheon for this battle for the lead in GT for always a decent place to watch there you see cars through a couple of corners and if you get a chance to go to the Nurburgring in reality you know even on a test day or a tourist day you'll always see plenty people there tick and for the graphs and videos because you get to see a variety of different lines and you see how the cars are working down there as well you come across them the rise for the left-hander then drop into the long right-hander then disappear up the hill to another right-hander lovely little flooring section that follows on from that for the ice curve and flans garden and then down towards Feldman to trial the try to get over the bridge all super super quick through this part the circuit or little tap on the curb there by the leader GT you can't use the block living on the left now towards the bridge brick from the middle of the road definitely a bit more curb row sweet news to you by the leader and I just wonder what that's doing and whether that's giving syndra SATs us a little bit of verb encouragement needs to get a good exit from the gallows head corner which is the next set of right-handers before they get over the long straight and he's been offering him encouragement seeing a curb I was about to chip in that he hits it at every second corner but still leading that 969 sorry the 7-9 at 7:00 or 8:00 class it's a great great battle but you just have to say his days must be enough but Marcus deck still leading the way but he's been harried Harriet Harriet price Setzer some I think it is just a crazed case of what will come next to pit stop or the lead driver in the Cayman class getting it wrong but somehow he's skirted with disaster and got away with it so far they are quicker than the third pair car approved Elliott but he may yet pick up Peters the opposite type terminates about 3-4 seconds back in third in class and in fact the last few moments sets out has suddenly lost a lot of ground down the run from tossing at her and that can't really explain why there yeah I said I'd wonder maybe she didn't quite get the entry to the doctor get her that he wanted just looking doomed seven laps on this stint now are they did it Lux both of these I know Marcus Dex meaning from the start it was Samuel Lieber of course who started the three or three so I think in next time in next time around with north of doors drivers because pretty much everybody has done an it lap stint in that to GT for Pearman category just looking to see who to commit stops at the front of the field Alex Aaron ass is on his seventh laughs at the viola racing number 186 car remember canopy nor did just a two lap stint at half distance or maybe one more for Alex before he comes in that car sitting down no he just made the pit buzzy mr.radha yeah because he got up to third place was about a minute down race leader setting good laps but he's doing a second sin other people who sort of have their cars have had problems at setting very good laps Scott Michaels for the number 34 Walking Horse motorsport BMW down into 19th place that was the one that flipped David retardant and BMW team Green Hell coverage in one position further back several laps down Cade cut cashew there one of the quickest drivers on the track at the moment so easy to miss people when they're down beyond the top dozen or so but it's some good driving and that you can be sure these drivers when they get to take part in the next round of this in two weekends time on the what's that make it the 18th of April will be quicker still but then what will conditions fee that they mmm let's find out again people who are new to this simulation i racing i racing part of the reality of i racing in pageants but use that and if you understand what i mean part the reality of the simulation is that all of the longitude and latitude of the circuits are plugged into a global database and the weather packs for that area are replicated in terms of what you would expect and they're not going to be actually live but a deep gigs when I tweeted a picture earlier on when I was watching the qualifying and we had a nice helicopter shot looking out into the Eifel Mountains I didn't tweet it and somebody who leaves him about 20 cares less than 20 quick ears away from the start line of noise I said that's exactly what it's like to do it that's pretty much spot-on so that is the game part of the the draw of iRacing is that you do get I'm not saying it's going to be identical today but the weather packs are reflective of the time of year for the area of the world at the rears tracks are on we've had a little bit of cloud cover all the way through this race which is kept the track temperature too well it hasn't gone above 25 degrees it stopped at about a degree now twenty three point nine degrees Celsius the air temperature remaining steady it irritating to Italy in a half degrees Celsius no real wind to talk about but just a little bit of cloud cover here and there which will being a difference at different parts of the circuit battles further down the field that Bruce worth was mentioning earlier on 17:30 80 yards sent mouse key and Tommy Earth's guard EMG and but that's not the next car but that's the 14th position car so that's about to put a lap or that yet Altos for car collection sitting in that they BMW jumble their order is something it's one thing I've noticed the development might need to do fur early sees races in future all those deciduous trees are fully leased at the moment but that's my open equipment or you are picking Jones you've really I think if they've concentrated on the stuff that matters though because they're absolutely brilliant the onboard footage is fantastic and the number of high angle drone shots if you will you know a joy to behold the thing that I really like is that the engine noises on the GT lamont cars it's at Sebring a couple of weeks ago of the Porsche 911 RS are still one of the best sounding GT cars I think it's got it's got a sharp edge to that like razor blades across you hear drums here you can tell the difference between the AMG with the long rumble of that car slightly different sound of the BMW v8 to the Audi being the v10 it's different again it's very very well turn very well turn into inside the last hour saw one pitstop left for most of the liquid for all of the leaders I would say we are well inside the window for the last pit stop now yeah don't forget gap came down to 20 seconds with BS competition chasing chasing Lauren Heinrich closing in on Dominic's dive he's still leading for Williams eSports but chain Rico has painted she ain't no because because Heinrich was just come in exactly exactly so that's the last pit stop for Heinrich that V s competition that for the PFW which has put well in horse snorts poor Kristin Cronus in to second position for the more birds but still with one stop to go I always like the tactic of getting your last pit stop done first I always think that that's not if you're not leading I always think that's a good thing to do get it done get into the rhythm towards the end of the race brace yeah remove the variable I think you just make it as small as possible but I tell you small as possible is the gap between first and second in the cup three class Marcus deck now hand it hanging on just a tiny amount syndra set says he's been closed before but he's half a car length down those two Caymans going almost nose-to-tail through the carousel and looking as though this time set says don't forget he got this start/finish straight last time around that knocked softly straight starting to her and just lost out big time yeah if you get a tow at all but now he's all but taking the 399 off the tail of that Porsche okay but this is the battle for the lead in Cup three 28th to 29th overall but super super close and Baptiste Fidelia in the second of the core cars has dropped about half a dozen maybe more seconds off their tail through fifth Lamont heading down towards Richard now and this is oh really really torturous part of the track the right-hander of the top of the brow got to keep the car at the right outside the road because the next left-hander comes up so quickly and the carpet doesn't help you from halfway through there now plunging down hit the blood chin itself can use the paved area on the eggs it looks to me so the 303 in second place well we've seen syndra sets a screen here before he clean here for a couple of laps now so that's the better part of 20 minutes he's been staring at the back of the 399 with the EMSA sticker right in the middle of the rear bumper Islands mistake why both of them there then both did very well indeed to hold their cars on the circuit is there kid through the ice car that ice curving through flats garden Ward super quick through here and you really just have to hang on and point the car to where you know the track is you're looking over the top the Browse you can't always see where the track leads but trust me is what fish Peretz said to me the first time he bravely sat in a car going round through the Nordschleife ride an Aston Martin is it trust me the track hasn't moved since the last time you were here so if you point it at where you know it was last time it's still going to be there and how right he was and they've got a Porsche cooked to car one of the 911s coming up behind and though this could put the cat amongst the pigeons and that might be an opportunity to get a bit of a draft big time in second place here's that battle Welton Horst and BS competition the PS car just out at the pitch bump and horse come to the end of their stint yeah Lauren Heinrich tried to fight sister BMW but so Christian Khurana is trying to do his everything 0-3 and his windscreen is 1502 he's clearly second overall but he owes our submit stop as does the race leading Williams just went across the line how deep that was went across the line he would have still feeling like yeah entirely so so get on with it the circuit christian cron is nosy will be coming in this time around he has 17 laps on the board so does the car behind but Lauren Heinrich has served that third pit stop fierce competition so should be good for seconds offal I don't forget he was catching the race leader as well well it's counting down it's just over talking her 37 minutes to go in this race I don't think what time but what if you Bruce exactly what Lauren Heinrich doesn't want because he pitted early and he's trying to make up time now having said that Christian trotters did that cars fastest lap the race last time around a 52 for which was three tenths quicker than the leader but I think there's more time in the Heinrich car and I think he's beam must be failing he's being held up at the Mormons he will get the opportunity I think to go after the leader I reckon the leader around the least he could go another couple of laps what there might be gambling on here at Williams eSport is counting back from the end as the leader at this it going nor tires at the end remember they did a seven and then I think I said it wasn't five did nine it was seven and five well they could do they're on five at the moment so we know that can do at least another couple of laps for the leader and then just do a splash and stand still for fewer seconds at less time and possibly not putting new set of tires on to run to the end Bruce I think that's the East for Williams East water strategy here and they've been helped by valve and horse really slowing up and Rick at the BS competition gun they are lon I'm Ricky's best lap time seven minutes forty nine point one seconds his last one seven it's fifty two point four so you're talking two point three three point three seconds slower but don't forget these further into the stint on those tires they didn't change tires at their pit stop and oh this they're going to be hoping praying horse BMW with Christian Conyers comes into the pits this time around they wanted out of the way it's now the car up ahead is this going to be an opportunity for one to fumble I want to go on past Conyers right to the edge of the circuit I think I might be the get speed car one of the gets paid cars but they're closing in on at the moment actually but dare to take all this damage on that car it was an Audi yeah with big damage to that cars being into the the barriers are dead tip-up eyes of the one screen I'm looking at the moment I couldn't seem to know my trap map what I thought if they'll hook up this thing something dear down to prevention again this area of the circuit almost impossible if you don't get help to get by that was a big dab of the brick white Christian cronies in second place Lauren Heinrich on new retirees or people the heavier fewer Lord will be cursing his look here as the leader is coming towards the end of the lapse of a minute and 15 seconds of the roads down to just under three tenths of a second between these two the gap just concertina in and out two tenths of a second now as their head through this insanely quick serpentine park the track through the second part of plants garden he started chants down the inside of the bridge before the second carousel nor there is not stay out the gravel on the right-hand side now into the climbing carousel really much quicker than it looks that corner and both cars and both drivers taking every bit of speed they could now to the gallows head corner miss out the middle apex of that and then cook back to the right-hand side got to get on the power nice and early but you cannot run up the grass and already the second place car Christian cronies starting to move around on the road looks like Lauren Heinrich Kreutz is in the draft and just dragging gently back towards it the question for me is is the bother her scarf going to pit this lap well he may have been passed already by the time they get that he made a slight mistake that Robyn's pants and profiting ever since then has been Chris Lauren Heinrich and looked very easy in the end but Kronos hasn't quite backed out of it yet now he's gonna have to who's on the wrong side of the track but again it just showed how strong a toe you can get up through joshing at her and very very good from Lauren Heinrich but don't forget he's the quicker driver at this stage in the race and will that BMW from the white bread a blue on David's door no he's not so it made it even more important that overtaking maneuver was preceded by Lauren Heinrich absolutely see what the gap is down to the race leader don't forget before the pit stops but of course at the moment 1/16 but the car leading Dominic dive in the williams esports audi has got a pit stop to serve until there won't be new tires going on if there are it'd be disaster no they had the last time but he's going to need almost all of that advantage because Heinrich yes he's lost time behind Christian promise he's now in front of corners in the white red and blue BMW so Heinrich should be able to stretch away but I think those last two laps were very very expensive boarding it wasn't a bad lap by Heinrich nah that was out love which was 843 including the pit stop poor Crimea's did a 752 and the leader did a 750 so effectively Heinrich did it 752 as well because he was tucked up the rear wing of that the other pmw for pretty much all of that laughs and I wonder if any chance has just disappeared the Williams eSports team seems to have played the strategy beautifully I wouldn't expect Dominic's dive to be taking tires he's on lap six over a stint that will probably come to an end at the end of this warm when he's completed a lot seven rather he sees odd now he's completed six lat and I'd expected the same coming and then just have it what are we talking about four laughed - to the end of the race yeah they had fresh tires last time around in the pits for Williams eSports on their Audi that 109 car so I doubt that happened this time around and I think he should come out with about a 20-second advantage over Lauren Heinrich because Heinrich could have had a chance to cut into it but you got stuck behind Christian Conyers there did very well to get past but I think that was an absolutely key moment who William e-sports and the driver in the virtual pits will be delighted the driver who started that from pole position Sammy Matti trogon who has been the star of the race yeah we're predicting five laps to go five laps to go now timing strengths here in the RSL broadcast booth 32 minutes call it nearly 33 sore five more laps to go now you can't afford to get it wrong at the Nurburgring of course because getting even nine tenths of a lot payer is not used which used to you and going on to the last lap but being told you're gonna have to eat an extra lap admit that it's not going to happen it's in no way you've got fifteen plus miles of wealth motorsport and kind of Carnac has got to the corpse in another one of the course in racing cars the four or three over patrick kabuki could Benji Benji I think is how you said that sorry partly give up quality there he's going through in that core car and just that pretty easily on the run-up to coming in to the final Marcus circuit is it the dr. Guha yes I think it is yeah so that was the run coming up to gallon cup so that was a change of position in TC are still being led by the way let's do another rundown as we're heading into the last at half an hour odds OD that Audi dominating category talking Fran are still leads for full scent racing and he has got a good link down over Oliver acumen in second place on the move three motorsport yeah getting on for half a minute you're right six seconds further back is Mark a shirt for Schubert more a sport I'm just watching this battle for sixth gear because it's on again and the chorus car has to give best in the drafting battle at tier garden so that's kind of Carnac he's build back into six is he heading for the pits he's got to the right hand side are they're both heading for the pits norther just again trying to get a little bit of a draft of the core motorsport car is there he couldn't see it for a moment dives out the drivers left tries to kill the long way around little kink to the left-hand side before you come into turn one proper he's got position down there that is a classic overtaking maneuver as he tries to do the over and under but that was seen by Carnac nicely done and blocked it out but still the core car goes through as they head into the AMG arena so that should top Radison an Audi rs3 LMS the TCR class and even Porsche at 7:18 mark miss decked from send resets us they're still having their Butler six seconds between the door as Marcus deck seems to have found a way to pull away after syndra set SAS was sitting on his exhaust pipes for what two or three laps there in the course embracing to machine up to three or three team mate Carly answered is another 13 and a half seconds back in fourth position Lucas bula an ad hoc gaming car who's actually right there that's a battle for the last witness on the podium in the Porsche 17 class the Porsche at seven one eight plus a Robert clocks for ahsha racing twice 17 seconds other sim RC cooked to rock a Simon Crossman in the 276 team team it's a sin Racing Academy car it's next up for Mario Jewish in the to nine one that's in the Porsche cook last for nine eleven Cup cars at the head of the field Dominic stove they still got a more than a minute and 15 seconds 400 sees final pit stop Lauren Heinrich desperate to see what these next lap time is gross to see if he's being able to pull away from Christie cronniss he's taking three seconds out of druggies in the vault and Hearst car who still owes us a pit stop as well I'm looking to see who might benefit from this job said to it you know for the HDP Winwood car down he's six he might not get on the podium but he's not going to be far off as he well he's gonna have to watch because his challenge is coming from the car behind the mana racing howdy Alex Serrano don't forget that started outside of the front row that took five seconds out of him last time around so Jack Sedgwick Sedwick in the HTP motorsport Mercedes is on borrowed time but in terms of who's made the third and final pit stop he is the second best place the cars that's done that don't expect that all mean he'll get ahead of the Williams e-sports Audi he boat firing fastest and that has now come into the pit to make it final stop Dominick's tibe should stay until the end of the race according to our notes that yes agreed yes yes agreed and he will only have at the end of this laughs they're a little - so that the key what what they've done here at Williams which is very clever is there have the black timed Bruce a basically split the race in half between the two drivers that dip looks slightly odd with sunny sunny market rugged doing seven laps than five laps now Dominic's has done seven laps and he will have I think five or four laps to go it just depends when he crosses the line and how can more chicken work that output they're gonna put enough fuel to get him for that extra lap should it be required and he should get out shouldn't he he's out of the pits now you think high rigs come through has it no has it Lauren Heinrich hasn't come through so so long as the fueled that car with enough in it to get either four or five laps depending on when he started this last could be twenty chef garces advantage or there abouts okay ready to be confirmed with it typically it won't be confirmed because of course it's a different point five seconds okay that was great twenty-two all right okay it's gonna be kept because he's still getting up to speed and Heinrich of course is coming through so let's call it twenty two and a half seconds now is what it's settled down at so certainly hasn't lost anything and you've got the same vs competition must be ruing getting stuck behind they're not team car but another BMW Christian cronies for Vulcan horse didn't help them out at all but he's now had to come into the pizza that we Jordi fan and that will take a car to the end and the question will be is how far up can the race union karma look they've got the stop sauce Phoenix so it's gonna be Jack Sedgwick in the top ten who's gonna be the big winner here as some of the cars ahead and surely have to do pit stops yeah I think the big question is who is going to get that final position on the podium will it be Walkenhorst number 35 BMW then us but now almost all of the frontrunners bar the Phoenix Racing eSport green Audi that Kevin Faulk now as I said yes made his pit stop yes he has he's coming to town well that was Richard Westbrook who start the Phoenix car then Rockenfeller did a stint so it was seven six five four Kevin Volk now what I haven't got is who takes that car to the end and will it be Kevin Faulk who steers in it or will that be changed I think the only other person who can go there after Jack's henchmen is Alec Serena should be on the go as well because he stopped to cook the laps ago so he should be at the court at the end as well so the question now is an extent by the way Cody was booed Scott a 750 walk that's extra-- that's because he's beyond star rise so he's next that will show the pit stop on it as well yeah and that car still of course has them the best after is 747-8 or if you're at all and hobbyist which none of these people are on the Nordschleife er 747-8 in race conditions is what we had earlier on for that one or dying car yeah that was set very early in the race and the course at that point the driver at wheel of the 109 would in eSports Audi that Sammy Matti trogon was on his own recording out three seconds a lap on it anybody else he said that before he started getting into flapping the cars from the three junior classes the couple two Porsches a cup three Porsches and the TCR Audi's but he was doing fast lap after fast lap of the past lab remarkably good driving so whether y'all go ahead president know you've got some traffic there Marvin off the back has got plenty of company but the BMW that Christian chrono Zurich had right on his nose that's sweeping around all over the place trying to get some its some grip because they get past one of the TCR Audi's but so you've got to find a gap welcome to gap there so that's Geordie funnin is 3rd position at the number 35 bulk and horse car now he's just out of the pits and he's trying in the turtle car to go around the chat the 466 yes it is and that is the Scuderia out Rustenburg blue cartoon order at the end of the wrist in that car but that was a interesting moment for Jordi Palin who went to take it over third position Marva not about not enabled there to capitalize at the rear ceiling that's play night dog no he shouldn't in terms of the normal pace Jodi Fannin thoughts be quick only certainly right on it since he's taken over the car my heard starting to show that he does six to eight hours on a sim on a regular day so he races on the circuit in real life anger faxes the heck out of another very good in third place now keeping an eye on what Lauren Heinrich is doing lack timewise he's not really gaining he's 20 he was 22 in a second bit seconds behind the race leader Dominic died and remained that far behind so and after making the scratch he had to at the Mormont's I my computer is predicting three laps to go and that takes into account the pit stop that's just paint made by the Williams a spore thought they really were just going for a splash at the end of the race it would be a very short run indeed no need to put a new set of tires on so they looking stationary only for the time it took for the requisite amount of fuel remember you don't have to fill fall every time you they will have selected how much fuel and therefore how long there was stationary I think it's about 1.9 five liters per second the the fuel fill I need to check the regs for that so my apologies for that if I fir pulled that out the back of my mind somewhere that's the the wrong number but that's what will have been the deciding factor on how long that car was in the pit it's let's take a look and give it a naught to one or two of the drivers further down the field Maximilian Fritz is sixth for the team hoisting felt through your one car in their Porsche GT for Phillip rag now for sovereign sport in seventh elegant ice isolation at the WS e motorsport Kevin bream Bart just heading out the kleiner carousel meantime at the front of that class mark is deck and syndra SATs us new give us Bruce just a stunning two or three laps a little while ago still first and second put at the moment the bright orange simmering channel black $3.99 car seems to afford that but it does he's open heart half a dozen seconds advantage whereas before it was a tenth of a second bouncy over the curbs through tear garden at very end of the lap Marcus decades surely heading for victory in the country racing class if you've just said that I'd like to say things like that it's great fun to you baby well simracing channel black if the curse of the commentator is put on you what anything happens in the next twenty one minutes then don't see Bruce Jones remember it wasn't me that said that are those clowns just getting a little thicker perhaps that will change the track temperature still holding steady in around about twenty three twenty three and a half degrees Celsius the air temperature through the course of this 90-minute is barely change at all sitting around eighteen eighteen and a half Celsius cup to the Porsche class led by Simon Grossman force MRC and they have had a cracking run Asha racing in second thing there are there abouts and saw has sim racing Academy are you're sure that's why you've driven all of that race all of the race itself you can but you have got to notify the but not defy the organizers that you're not doing a chair Jay Haas he was so remarkable Jewry has done the whole race himself Martin ashes did half the rich Roberts took off from him in the second place car cloudiest feet did the first two stints Courtney laughs I enjoyed anyone doing a doing the whole race that's my Reshef well that is the beauty of course you can't do that Paul said racing had a good run in the 485 that sort of matte black and highlighter pen green howdy color scheme it's your Kim at the wheel of that what a risk it's been before that team they've pulled out indecent free steam led get a ledger of you start the darkness but that rich pretty much down the middle but the battle for the third place of the overall poor diem is still going on Bruce we said that that was getting a bit tasty and it certainly is now so Jack Sedgwick happened to be very all got a BMW off the side of the circuit they're rejoining was that Jody Fannin Jessica waterside yes it was his city son he shuffled down the order in fact he probably lost about three positions with that he's running third under pressure from Jack said with that said break up the third carbon auto back the race union howdy up to fourth and Alex Arana up to fit he's had a long old double stint and he's coming towards the end but he's game position of van in there was at the front of the group and now he's back three positions for sixth overall dr. buck surely needed to give us another stop or to buck it now on his downfield sore 19th black who's on his 20th lap 19 on the board and he's only done two pit stops but I've severed this time around you might get one more I can't see him getting another three laps which is what you're gonna have to do from here depending on when the leader crosses the line so a little mistake there by Jordi fun and costs in the place on the podium you'll get one of those back on the back does indeed pale off into the pit lid Sedgwick then as I suggested there my HTP windward played the long game it's their last pit stop but I fancy you know that they're watching that carefully Bruce an HTP windward with a Christian horn arbol running the real-world team and a brace and Russell Ward involved now that's the windward side averted that Christian running the team out in updates in Germany I fancy they got Jack Sedgwick and out into a bit of clean air after that last pit stop and he was able to put some quick laps in because he has made of time all right I said he wasn't gonna challenge for the lead but at the moment he is on with a chance at least of a podium sits in third with Arana sitting in behind him and we've got just under 17 minutes to go than their burger in round two with the NLS powered by VC Oh [Music] so a clever bit of strategy Alice began its by fine not a novice yarn on szura in its yarn stain favela Ted on fart read the Ashenden technology transfer from the wrench tiger of this rasa we have had to give in the father spot Vedas at Sur studies at Olin distant siren won't give in the fade on so Honda percent in Deutschland via a botnet hands float on ten GABA there is an island moment fear since motorsport via sent our own death [Music] you [Music] [Music] [Music] you you you [Music] door to the end from there it's gonna be touching gone well drive to the flag now for those of you watching the pictures the battle for third position just port stop Jack Sedgwick for HTTP women in the dark-colored AMG the series gt3 has got the male racing team for 186 OD right up his exhaust pipes Alex Iran has been turning some very impressive sector times in the last few minutes and in this dash to the checkered flag Waterfalls cars have finished their pit stop cycles it was her snazzy move by HTP win with the Gotcha out into some clear air and as the cars stopped the head that car is wound up in the final podium position chaps got to bring it home from here we are predicting with 13 and a half minutes to go two laps to go for the leader the question will be there are a couple of cars behind at this battle and certainly behind the battle for the podium who have only done two pit stops most notably Philip Nolan in the villa 14 gets paid car in sixth position he's the crackpot with Kevin bulb in the board in the Phoenix racing car but he's already done six laps we haven't seen anybody do more than seven in one of the SP night cars yet but I was suggesting to Bruce a moment of to thought that there might want to risk it and see if they can eat one more lap that may be streamed in a bit of fuel serving nor field serving required for the third and fourth and Alex er anna has a sniff of the podium I don't think he's going to get further up than third Bruce Jones but as they're battling on the far side of the circuit out in the country he's definitely if he's not got one foot on the podium he's shuffling nice and gently towards it yeah well that card was the one that sort of roll the dice first in going for a fresh set of earth fresh fresh set of tires tomorrow racing team Audi and it's been catch-up ever since it fell down to 13th position very nearly up to third now but the clock is not it friend 10 minutes to checkered flag to be unfurled and the gap between first and second by the way remains at 23 seconds as they go out of dotting her up towards tier garden at the end of another lab but looking very very good for Dominic's dive in the William T sport team but in behind but you've got to make sure the space on the track you did a front-end damage on the Malakar karana maybe got too close and maybe it's just the light as they go between the trees but that's the battle looking backwards from the HTTP Winwood Mercedes Jack Cedric holding on to third place let's go it mate that car as wide as he possibly can vs competition in the pit layer on the pits Lauren Heinrich from second place now that I was not expecting that was only let me see three laps tints or is that some kind of damage or an issue have they've been called in and wide sedgwick course white coming out of Albert rats and into the client as you can at the kleiner carousel excuse me he loses third position thinks about going up the left-hand side of the track and trying to get it back but Marla racing team get into third position for the moment through kalenkov with traffic ahead and onto the long Datuk a hurt smart move and the TCR Audi keeps out of the way a little bit of a tow there for the first part of the straight dosing of her has been passed now and a very good move there by Alex a runner up into third over which affects me good when it becomes second overall because for 4ps competition lie straight out again straight out let it read out oh yeah twenty nine and a half seconds at standstill fifty 2.9 seconds in the pit bein what was going hold on the Mercedes just gone back past Jack said we could just towed it to a part that I didn't expect that well if you're going to make a mistake the corner before the client of carousel is that the worst want to do it on you govern yourself up through the kind of carousel take a deep breath make sure you get the perfect line through the Gala's head turn and then you've got an opportunity to go back by again on the dotting at all which is what Sedgwick did and he hooks the pit wall trying to make it more difficult for the Audi to go around the outside into turn one and that's around us tries to do now can I get you snores down the left-hand side at the MGM arena recon there side by side can't afford a toe chair absolutely side by side the Audi is it the best position now with a left-handed coming up in the second part of the arena can't said to ixnay on side for the right-hander coming up he cannot and drops behind careful not to run out too far track limits there is something that's always looked out remember it's only the short version of the Grand Prix circuits on the down through the gearbox and into the right-hander the first of the hairpins that could be used on the Grand Prix circuit now the quick blast up through the chicane and then back towards the nürburgring Nordschleife er with nine minutes remaining or this is going to be tight the leader of course some minute and 16 minute there in seconds but more than that two minutes ahead of these guys there's going to be one more lap after this one unless Dominic's tab floors right down eight minutes and 50 to go and he's got a huge lead if the team can give him some news on that he may not have to do another lap if he can time he's run across the line he may not have to do another lap but it looks like he will and if he does that means everybody starting a lap now will have to as well and that could be one lap too many for some of the team's further down the field now what happened to what happened to that four series that gets paid for default card that stopped last time around it didn't unless I've gone completely mad I'm just scrolling down look ago I did indeed time yeah anybody should have stopped so he's now took three stops so the gamble for them didn't pay off so Sheila had to make that little splash in court at the end and schiller pack in the car for the run to the flag so Sheila started indeed 7 Philip Nolan did seven and seven and then he's pitted and handed over to his teammate to do the glory lap or laughs let me a couple of laps this distance just um believe that yes they are then the last car of the GT threes of the lead lap now Jack's a trick still in fourth position was in third this one and we reckon one more thing has anyone else led but Williams eSports I don't think the half rose up yes yes someone who whoever fitted last first round of pit stops ah yes some pigs landed seven I tell you great sheep you know I'm very impressed Florian bowed and went up from a two-faced fur ah very well remembered did you write that down no I lost the note if I had very good brace Jones has been with me John hangs off for this second round of the NL s the Nurburgring Lang stretchin series powered by BC or the virtual competition organization and we are maybe one more lap to go it will all depend with six and a half minutes to go where the leader when the leader crosses the line if he's at racing speed there will be one more lap he's got a decent other than what you do I mean he's got fuel I suppose it doesn't matter for Williams age sport but with a minute and 16 seconds he could slow right down and trying time himself crossing the line Lauren Heinrich in second for PS competition slightly perhaps brewing getting caught up behind valve and hast more the sport for a lap when they came out that was their first lap out of the pits wasn't it when they really had rolled the dice to try and get the performance advantage running into the last few laps and it was negated by being behind the Vulcan horse car was they were at the end of their stint in the classes let's pick good battling all the way through hasn't there bruce's we can't even respect fastest lap for course in racing in the TCR classes these six police car at the moment they for all three that was a near 45 they're sitting in 650s t3 motorsport before 7 1 v it is v sorry was the t3 motorsport fourth is the Phoenix eSport red team the four or five neg see each sport and its need heart at the wheel of the 468 to the end of Martin a mushy but motorsport TCR but it's been a story in TCR a full scent racing who've done the job best for the front-wheel drive touring cars in the 718 GT for cooked last score again with the fastest lap this for me and of a three or four car in third position in it 31 one there are just 3 seconds behind their teammates in the three or three car citrus axis who really put some pressure on the leader about 10 minutes ago little bit more than that perhaps but wasn't able to make the pass but it's still only four seconds that Marcus deck has as an advantage for sim racing channel black over the rest of field at the 399 well we are going to get one more lap Chloe because it's coming up to the oh yes I'm a niche guide he's sitting on a need of one and a quarter what one minute 15 seconds one minute 14 seconds but that's enough to get onto the final lap with two minutes remaining yeah he couldn't I couldn't have slowed back I'm suctioned four minutes of my time two minutes 59 two hours 59 on that one you two different floors yeah same as the same space anyway this is the last Locker this is definitely the last lap that they are going on to now so he couldn't have slowed down because he couldn't have eaten up enough time even if he's used up all of that one minute thirty supportin I haven't cooked then I spent a decent Bartlett's world but a shearing of meat are very impressive and they'll finish just outside of the top ten overall with Robert clocks bringing the two to seven car home ahead by 18 seconds at the moment of the sim RC come to tea Simon Grossman at the wheel of the 276 for the run to the checkered flag at Mario Yuri has driven so law for simracing Academy rate in day two nine one fabulous I in mind that stint there from from Mario and at the top of the field Dominic's died took over the Williams East board car from his teammate who qualified on pole position Sammy Mattie froggen the barely being headed only in the pitstop cyclist row said their lane a comfortable minute and 12 seconds that would be comfortable anywhere you know I've just said that and I've realized that would be comfortable anywhere except the nürburgring nordschleife are still black markers still battles to have the pass and that is where the decision-making has to be absolutely spot on Lauren Henry the Heinrich 4ps competition will bring the number 189 car home at the moment in second place and has a thirty one and a half second race to Alex Arana for mile racing team but they're still got a battle with Jack Sedgwick refusing to give up he's dropped back and cut the second but still has an eye on the podium top six meter by kevin volt for Phoenix racing and their team car with Dan long rich behind the wheel of the 14 and 5 respectively that's your top six at the moment what what an interesting race and the strategy I've got to see it for the Williams team when Sammy money came in after just five laps in the middle of the race I wouldn't if they've got that right Bruce they have not just got it right they've got it very right indeed well by the time he came in after the end of that shortened second stint they already had such a comfortable advantage over over 22nd that was something none of the other teams got to enjoy through the course this race they were sitting on a very very useful cushion and also as Dominic's dive is on their books as one of their eSports drivers they know exactly what he can do it's not like there's a great big performance drop-off so it wasn't a great mystery in that and they just had the ability to call the race as they wanted to but the spade work was done by the the Finn who started sanding Matty token and they had the luxury of sending Dominic's tie back to finish the job he's being cautious here around the final that no need to take risk what what was it 101 minutes 14 seconds the advantage over Lauren Heinrich BMW but at three homes in here I know you don't like me saying that but that's all he's got to do I'm still pointing the finger the real finger is realistic virtual finger at Bruce jobs if anything goes wrong if this is making your first foray into watching spectating odd sim-free Singh we hope that you've been convert or at least we'll give it another shot in a couple of weeks time and round three comes once again probably nürburgring Nordschleife er the Nurburgring Blanche tracker series absolutely mirroring the real world series all of the races through the year running on the nürburgring Nordschleife er with the shorter version of the Grand Prix circuit and tacked onto it for a tad over 24 kilometres off 15 and a bit miles the screaming 4-cylinder OD is what you can hear in the background of our leader excuse me this may be ten cylinder OD is what you can hear in the background from our leader Dominic stabbed through they Bridget add NAR now heading up towards the right-hander at burglar fuel tip that left-hander first a little kink seems nothing when you look at it in the track map what really needs to be driven out through Berg Berg down through the gearbox rules the car through they're not even using the exit curves now Sammy Maddox rogon's start at this car and Dominic's bringing it home he'll know he's got a lead he does not have to take any chances at all here and what he needs to do now with half a lap completed is just stay out of trouble still enough sunshine to cast shadows and it's just 22 degrees on the track it's barely changed from the start of the race went up a little bit in the middle hour then strop back again a degree Celsius for the air temperature as Dominic comes to the right-hander at the bottom of the run to the carousel the question that he will be asking his team and he will be in competition he'll be wanting to know how the track looks ahead he's got a little bit of traffic ahead of him but not too much does he now can start to pick he's way through some of the other classes Bruce Jones we've seen a three-hour racing at which relatively accurately very accurately indeed has mirrored the three hour competitions that were used to see three and four hour competitions it's green world with a sheet by a team who've had two very equally matched drivers who've had peace and who matched their strategy to the Peace of the drivers par excellence [Music] one thing that takes takes pace it different from a regular round of the Nurburgring the nls is the fact that we only have the four classes of racing which does make it less complicated it makes it clearer for teams to see exactly where they're going to be gaps on the track yeah round about 100 cars fewer than we normally have yeah exactly I just want to pick out I had a quick look back to the the Porsche 718 the Cayman cut class that's cut three and it's down to just three seconds between first and second that it score simracing still in second position but now it's not syndra set such as his teammate Carl Yan Sandy's left it very late but he's hunting down Marcus deck let's see where they sit at the end of the race which is coming up very soon because as we can see looking at the main screen the race leader is getting towards heat three course the way around the final lap 23rd and final lap at Dominick's tide stroking home one minute 13 seconds the good but still battles as I said being fought in the two in the three junior classes most notably in the Cup three girls miles kook RSL underscore studio I've really enjoyed this fascinating broadcast even took you for my one walk of the deer by the RSL audio player it was like motorsport hadn't gone away credit to all he doesn't matter whether it's full-sized real world racing skill skill real world racing of virtual racing as far as we're concerned here at RSL original limited network of channels whether the competition is big small or virtual it's still competition the racing is still real on whatever platform we find ourselves and hopefully we've managed to convey that the skill levels of these drivers is off the scale and it's been an almost perfect run poor position and then pretty much every lap at the end of the lap they've been leading they have not been challenged and Williams team eSports come through weaving side to side Dominic stab finishes off the work that he's teammate and Paul citta put in earlier on Sammy Matty trogon and Dominic star for Williams eSports wins round 2 of the NL SCH powered v AC or and even some donuts at the end of the wrist that stick some final thoughts from brace jods enjoyable way to spend three hours I really really admire not only the way this virtual racing has been developed and the accuracy of the cars the images but also the way they were raced really clean thoroughly thoroughly enjoyable and Real Racing has gone away for a while and I think it's a very very good standard and I think it obviously continues alongside when the racing continues again Marcus Dec just coming through to win the Cup to class after all that but really really enjoyed it thanks John let's quickly give you a rundown as the Civic Channel black to take that win pressure put on Marcus deck for the middle part of his stint the 399 car has come through to take that category of the Robert clot and Asha racing but win the Porsche 911 cook class and barring any issues on the final lap it will be full send racing with an 18-second lead at the moment but who should come through and your king is running nicely it's Robert clots for Ashland racing in the 227 when he's got a bit of trap to himself at the moment in the black Porsche as he comes through he'll be finishing in a couple or three minutes just looking at the top of the timing screen to see who's come through and been confirmed 23 laps completed the s competition finished a minute and 12 behind the leaders took three seconds out the leader on the last lap but really didn't have the pace today maybe didn't quite get the strategy right either they took a chance on their last stop we came in a little bit earlier Arana Alex Arana and kering a good run for Marla Racing team to get them on the podium just five seconds ahead of Jack Sedgwick HTP win would play the strategic game as well but Jack with a tiny mistake a couple of laps from the end would he have been able to hold on even without that I'm not sure so that's your top four still here tickets that's the one on dying Lina Dominic's dive continues to burn out the taste can't get told off from you team chief of course put all the revving the engine or anything still waiting for Asha racing to come through he's just taking things very easy at the moment he's about halfway round the lap I'm also picking an eye on the TCR category as well the glory sound of a flat six of Robert clots and Asha racing who will take the Porsche Cup class ring time full scent racing congratulations to them they're a little bit further round the lap at the 485 black and bright green and the rs3 TCR will win in that plastered look very competitive early on we did have that line gross of five Howdy's which got brought the knot but I think there must have been something there that happened towards the end of the race because we lost a couple of us that those frontrunners what we did I mean it what was clear was that full sound racing had the best balanced driver line-up started by Dean Leger then Europe in France brought it home that got them clear by 18 seconds at the end of the race but certainly the rest are very closely matched but I think they suffered when the SP nine cars came through that broke them up with a few little bit wide and in the final stint the race we saw I saw in the background of shots quite a few for the TCR cars trying a bit of lawn mowing at the side of the circuit so that bones have helped them too much indeed but four full same rating the 485 car really really good race to victory for them we're going to try and get a word with one or both of the winning drivers from Williams in sports at the top of the championship mid-week motorsport next week we will get at least one of them for our vc or victory circle interview that will play in the midweek motorsport on Wednesday I'm going to try and get comp from a stop at the moment they might've logged out and have other things to do we want to see these last class winners home I'll be the Audi that comes home but first of all and as I see it that was shaping up to be a cracking run just got about a couple of minutes on this lap for the Audi and from once the TCR car with pretty much the place to himself and this is a glorious feeling in some respects he knows there'll be no faster cars coming around to pass him now his team will have told them that week so can't afford to drop it it's got to get this car home at the end of the race [Music] he'll come home ahead of the Martin a came in second place just checking to see if they're on the same lap I think they are and dot XE eSports will be in third place and there were yes all on the same lap so there is still a bit of pressure for the leader there and the full scent bracing OD and with one of the 911 come two cars coming around behind you need to just let that car go no sense in fighting there we have seen strange things happen on final laps before yeah beautiful out of the throttle and Lex T faster poor should go through very smart driving from your Kim yeah and the car that the car that just passed it to 71 that's the t3 motorsport car isn't fighting physicians so neither of those drivers needed to take a risk and delete my shine going around the outside but yeah very sensible indeed of the TCR Dreiser that just bring it home just the doctor get her and the tiered garden then between full send racing and the top step on their poor diem and Steen let's get started that wrist did a cracking job bit to it that they were in with a shout for the second half of the race and that's all you can ask cars in pristine condition there well one or two of the TCR cars and we're taking a few chances earlier on and coming in to contact with the barriers but the full sent car looks absolutely pristine the batwing is straight three corners now before we can definitely say that that number 485 LD rs3 TCR is the winner of the TCR category here he comes now on to the start/finish line and that's a good run home for them second place will be the Schubert motorsport mark Nasheed car then the dot XE export they've just gone through now and we wait for the Porsches and their winners to come through we've had the key man through and there's the 22 27th the Asha Racing car Robert Klotz brings that home ahead of thee sim RC Cup in second place and those were the only two cars on the lead lap there samar sea-cook car coming through just a few seconds behind asha racing it are on the side of there and the 2 to 7 then wins that class for the Porsche cars let's take a quick look at the final results and remind you of what happened at the sharp end of things with Williams eSport winning by over a minute at the end from PS competition they saw BMW with me MW meet in the Audi bred smaller in third position HTP the first of the mercedes-benz Jack Sedgwick trying to hold on the third position in the end after some nice strategy and then a bevy of Audis from Phoenix Reyes Union and the second Phoenix car before the Mercedes and the other champs coming through at the end of the top 10 outside the top ten not it not necessarily easy runs for all of these they are class positions by the way not necessarily over all positions there were some problems further down the field for some of the SP nine cars as far as the classes are concerned we waited to see all of them come through as well and the leading Porsche coming through in 11th position overall by just fifteen seconds at the end Missy marcy and then the sim racing Academy with Mario he remember running on he's on for the haul of that race at least that was what the timing said proton racing were up there at one stage but couldn't make the podium ahead of h2 performance in the top six made up by rev-match a sports the Cayman gt4 class well that was a good battle as well wasn't it we had three and four of those cars tracking each other around the circuit and eventually in cup three that was won by simracing channel black Marcus dick pulling out to or when there was a change at the end the second core racing team lost second position Carly Hanson gets ahead of syndra shatzer so the two Koko's switching round on the last lap and have odd hop gaming there on the fourth place just off the poor teen and the TCR results we have already given you just to confirm that's the TCR that was a great win from the 485 machine let's see if we can have a chat with some of the guys from the front of the field Alex Arana are you are you able to hear or see a user was moved to your turn great to have you here Alex good run for you and a rich that you will you were pleased with could you have done anything different you will move strong at the end there yeah we are not happy about the race because your pace was really good and to fight for the win but from the beginning we got cut on the start we lose two places and from that the race was so much complicated for us we got from them a child show from rhinology district our and from that it was a difficult race because we lacked some top speed on and in the end we we reach the podium we honest we are not really happy and you know it's racing sometimes what was the what was the strategy was a stint and a half on the time it's all the time or did you change ties at each stop no we didn't change styles in the first stop because we think that it was better for the strategy traffic wise but we got damage on that the scene and the race was almost over or at least they fight for the win for us so okay you're not going to be happy Alex put getting third back at the end there Jack made a little mistake you were able to to to seize on that sort of place after the problem earlier almost not as best as you could have hoped for yeah and that was the rest of what we coul achieve after the problems so not really a shot but you know when you have pace to fight for the win is no dance and you sit back yes absolutely mullah racing team a Christine canopy no and Alex arena you back for the next round in a couple of weeks time Alex yeah for sure for sure we will be given back a stronger for the next race so we're looking forward to it okay me thanks very much it a bad luck today but third after your problems earlier on oh yeah I can see the damage on the car there thank you very much indeed Alex thoroughness loser was moved out channel there Michael can you I haven't got teamspeak open here Michael that's down in London I'm afraid so can you just tell me who else is there in the waiting room and I'll have a real to bring them in ah we've got Steen hello Steen how are you user was moved to your channel hello sting yep but you stay very well to admit win in the TCR class you had to take the start it looked pretty hairy at times there yeah when there's a cop car that spun earlier on and then we had the gt3 was coming on us in it he got pretty hectic with focusing front trying to keep up with the front three guys and watching the mirrors with all those GTS coming up on you what's the key from will drive cars around the Nurburgring you're the slowest of the classes you've got excellent battles because effectively it's an all-out e-class anywhere what's the key just keeping your nose clean and being there for your partner so that they can take it on in the second half of the race definitely keeping the nose clean is very useful their side of this race s you probably saw was a lot of the front three of us would be saving lots of fuel because the fuel time on these cars is really slow so I jumped about four seconds and stopped just by saving a bit of fuel at the start and didn't lose any track position that's a one big key of driving there TCR in general and win very good you got to be happy with that are you doing the full season hopefully so keep coming back get another win all right MIT all the best and we'll speak to you another time and hopefully you'll be you'll be back to to continue winning and miss your dad as well and always chained in watch it today thanks chase one so let's user was moved out of the world sindre if we mike syndra can you hear it it's John hind off in the radio show limited food yes yeah MIT what a race what a race you heart looks like you were gonna finish in the lead he ended up in third first of all what happened on the last lap you team me it got through yeah I am my teammate picked up some damage in the first thing so we were about eight to ten kilometers down on straight-line speed so we were talking to each other during the race and he he went on four fresh tires at the end I was on two and in the car in the lead was no fresh tires in the end so he's tried to hunt him down and I knew with the damage we had that he was gonna fly by me on the straight come that last lap anyway so I let him go into the carousel and hopefully I just hope that he could catch the leader and then maybe have a go at him but yeah that never happened so it was gonna be p3 anyway in the end there with our car was but yeah just racing you gave us some fantastic entertainment when you were right in behind the leader a Marcus for simracing Channel black I think you must have followed him about an inch off his bumper it seems for about three laps do you must know every single decal on the part of the car things go name is a sticker right in the middle of the rear bumper and all it's done that you must be sick of the sight of that white and it managed to pass it though so it was good but yeah it's it's actually so similar to the battle I had there in real and mine last year and yeah it's just crazy racing to be able to have that much fun it's so good best to you and the rest to Cheney coming back a couple of weeks time definitely all right man have a good one thanks for entertaining us in thanks let's say user was moved to hello gentlemen loud and clear oh yes I'm I'm completely done it was so exhausting it was one of the longest stints of my life I was I was very very excited and it was very intense I was completely wet from sweat because it was just so intense and with the pressure of Augustine in the first stint and also in quali but it was super cool and I also watched the stream it was super cool to watch and and listen to you guys so thanks for covering it that we did wrong it's the usual excitement and all the lord of information on the the nürburgring nordschleife thanks to say the BMW said for but again in gt3 form as well it's such a pretty car it sounds great as well does it still resist you remember it well I joined BMW in 2016 when they introduced the m6 yes I unfortunately I missed it I only drove it once during a rollout last year and I really asked for the rollout if I can do it because it's such an amazing car and I always followed it even when I was not a BMW driver before 2016 so at least I can race it in the virtual world yes it looks a well-balanced car actually and you guys did it did it spoil your strategy when you got stuck behind the the other BMW on your out lap at the end there no not too much because we had enough margin to to the back to p3 and well it was not very realistic that we could make up a lot of time to p1 so it didn't really compromise our race at all so no no problem good you for the next morning a couple of weeks time I hope so huh thanks thanks for listening to what I just said and hope to see you again in real life very soon this'll do till then they'll Philip Hank thanks for joining us me thank you let's move down my channel let's go back to the cup three user was not to your channel racing that was a position gained on the last lap from their teammates as we just heard from syndra it sets us let's let's go to the 3:04 car and hopefully Carl Johnson is listening to his car can you hear us yeah hey Carl welp second place in the end you were in third when you started I think the last lap just couldn't get close enough to the leader Oh again if everything really was not much more speed I could get out of the car there so I still think like the twenty seconds we we gained in the last stint was absolutely maxed we could do today so I mean cinder had a bit of damage on the side so he couldn't go as quick assist on the straights so we kind of like to go there in the end to try and catch up to the leader but it was just too far away obviously it's a single manufacturer single car class with all the Porsches in there Minh to ask this earlier on actually is it open setting so you're all on the same setup now we're on they're different setups it so we're allowed to do whatever we want with their car so yeah and did you feel that the car was good for you today did you have I mean it looked like the guy say we're out in front had a really good pair syndra give them a run for their money in the middle part of his stint but just couldn't make one of the passes stick um I think I think the car was the quickest today at least have not had a lot of driving on this track so he did a great job with it limited testing he had done I think he dropped us back a little bit but the car itself was amazing to go fast well we've enjoyed it you gave us some great entertainment in in the GT for the kid GT for category thanks very much for being with us and hopefully we'll be talking to you again and the next one in a couple of weeks time yeah thank you guys so we phasers move to your channel the guys our last one season has moved out of your channel worse second in TCR in the port to it Martin he's still with us yeah hey Martin good sit good to have you perfect had a really good partner in the the the Audi TT our classes it as it is with all the rs3 they're the the guys at the head of the field didn't have it all the wrong way at one stage I think there was five cars lying astern that was a fantastic battle did you enjoy it yeah it was a good battle I mean in the beginning we were not there we kind of mess of quality so we were driving kind of in the back and after that we try to maintain the pace and we yeah we catched up to the to the whole group and that some stuff happened I don't know I think some crashes happened and we moved up nicely into the field with a good last inch for me it all started when the ladies were coming through and I'm not even sure what happened but we lost a couple and things got spread out a little bit what was the tire strategy for the TCR do you have to change all the tires at every at every stop what can you managed to get a couple of stints out of them we actually only do front on the whole race so we drive with the rear for the complete race we only did the one set of rear tires to two tires on the front every time and then filling up and then we go again well it's Martin Haven a good friend of ours and sometimes speak particularly on the Nurburgring always says and he's no it's all about tearing cars he says the rear tires on a front-wheel drive turn encourages there to stop the exhaust from scraping on the ground yeah I think it's a bit more than that actually just the four classes in the NL s power 5 AC or this year you are the slowest of the classes does that make the concentration levels even higher because you've got some of the quickly classes coming through from about halfway through the race yeah it's it's it's a challenge we always make sure we have a good supporter I hadn't and yeah gives a lot of information far beyond me who exchanged a lot of information during the race especially when the TT fries are coming in its history differences hi so does some strategy management reviewing the race and that's that's cool makes it interesting that's what I like about this one would cost at least well done and hopefully go one better in the next one thank you Mark yeah yeah thanks drivers and Michael as well back at the Nurburgring thanks to Tim Greer in London and to Mike or commentator Bruce Jones we'll be back in a couple of weeks time for another race from the NL s power privacy or keep your eye open as well for every other Thursday where we'll be insert racing with a 50 car grid of M so drivers all in GT LeMond machinery but for me John hind off for the moment thanks for joining us and have a good weekend you
