I BOUGHT iRacing. Here's What Happened...

[Music] i'm gonna have to do it i'm finally going to have to give in hold on can i reach that please no damn it was it already on oh it's not connected okay [Music] oh my why is it so hard it turns i know a lot of people were roasting me about the cpu cooler i'll fix that later okay right now we're doing something else if you've been following sim racing on youtube throughout recent events you may have noticed that iris and content has seemed to be pulling in quite the viewership numbers naturally this got my interest you know i'm really tired of losing out on all of these views so uh one month three months one year okay how much do i want to spend um two years i don't know if i'm going to be simmering in two years one year seems like a good deal but sixty dollars just for the membership do you know what i could do with sixty six dollars you could go like to a nice dinner not that i have anyone to take you know what i'm doing it i don't care i'm tired of losing out on all these views i need to do it referred by i wasn't referred by absolutely anyone but i'm going to be a good samaritan and give this free referral to one of my fellow youtubers who i don't even know personally and he probably doesn't even know me but this guy plays everything right dave dave where is your referral i'm gonna become the new dave cam guys where's your referral oh here it is dave if you're watching this you're welcome all right back to pulling this out total cost 69.96 all right this is the part where i actually start to contemplate life if i pay this will you guys promise to actually watch these eye racing videos because i need to do i really wanna and your card has been declined and before i even knew it i had embarked [Music] let's go i'm part of the cool kids club now after spending seventy dollars and that's not even all i have to spend i'm pretty sure i still have to buy cars and tracks and welcome to iracing we're excited to have you with us blah blah blah um i need the i need to download irising i was saying oh i'm spending too much money on this hobby and why do i actually download so many things jesus man just let me play already installation complete am i ready to start which one do i open let's open this one [Music] connecting to eye racing whoa oh i need to log in again i'm complaining way too much it turns out the i racing installation process was a lot more tedious than expected after downloading the software now i need to download more stuff why didn't you just download it all at once all right whatever i don't even know what i'm agreeing to but whatever as long as you don't spam my email um what no so i don't really know what to do but my career seems like the only logical thing is that me that's just not what i look like this kind of looks like you know hold on uh never mind i was gonna say it kind of looks like valtteri but not really i'm gonna need to figure out what to actually do at this point i read some stuff in the iracing website and gave myself the confidence to pretend i knew what i was talking about okay so i figured something out so when you start off you start with your license class um you start with rookie and then it's you know you advance the ranks now to actually climb the ranks you have to complete series like official series and seasons the problem is the new season doesn't start up until uh september so i can't actually start the series from my understanding i don't really know what i'm doing if you guys haven't noticed so so i went downstairs to have my lunch during which i watched some videos and read some forums regarding what a beginner should actually do okay so to probably nobody's surprise turns out i was wrong at least i think i'm wrong so from my understanding there is a list of series which i am allowed to race in based off of my rookie rating and the only one that i have complete access to and don't need to buy anything separately for is actually the one that i am most interested in and that is the mx-5 cup so this race it's gonna start at four it's currently 327 so i am going to do a few practice laps to get everything ready in terms of obs and then hopefully by the time the race starts i'll have everything ready and figured out at least that's in the perfect world you know it it doesn't always go this plant so so the race is starting soon unfortunately um throughout the last hour i spent more time figuring out stuff in terms of recording and making the quality of the video look high rather than actually practicing so i'm not very optimistic coming into this race but i guess it'll make for at least something entertaining to watch hopefully so [Music] it was time for my first ever official eye racing race after doing a record breaking two practice laps on a track i've never even heard of i managed to qualify third but before going any further it's very important that i mention this you see i recently installed a cool carbon fiber button box from the guys over at custom sim engineering onto my phenetech gtd pro a lot of excitement to use it on iracing i thought it would be a brilliant idea to bind the ignition and start button onto it cool right wrong in all the years i've been sim racing i've always had the game automatically manage that meaning i've never had to do anything to fire up the engine [Music] seconds away from the race starting i was making sure i was recording my screen making sure the audio levels were right and making sure the image looked adequate needless to say the last thing i was thinking about was manually turning my car on i think you know where i'm going with this okay here we go focus speed i am speed and it's lights out and away we go yep that's me you're probably wondering how i ended up in this situation okay so needless to say i panicked i pressed everybody i had access to until i got my car into gear man i was panicking so hard i even put it into reverse gear by accident once i had finally taken off i had went from third to plumb last and the only thing i could do was take the out and keep pushing [Music] this being a rookie race you already know there is going to be some carnage my main goal is to simply stay out of trouble and run a clean brace to ultimately increase my safety rating from the extensive research i had done beforehand i learned that increasing your safety rating is the quickest way to get out of the berkey save class from myself [Applause] [Music] honestly that's all that pretty much happened in this race i tried my best to remain consistent and out of trouble and near the end of the race i finally started to nail some competitive laps it turns out practicing does actually help anyways i started third immediately jumped down last and after a pretty stale race i managed to finish in fifth most importantly though i stayed out of trouble and my safety rating increased rounding out my first ever race on eye racing and just like that this wraps up my first ever eye racing experience though my wallet still hurts i am excited to progress through the rankings and have some good fights out on track remember that this month i'm giving away a moza racing cs wheel rim to a lucky winner anywhere in the world subscribe leave a like on the video comment if you want and click the link at the top of the video description to enter with all that being
