It’s a new Low Fuel Motorsport season on Assetto Corsa Competizione, and I’ve decided to stick with the same car that has served me so well. I picked my first two ACC LFM wins in the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 last month, so I’m going to see if I can add to that tally this season.
Week one starts today at the Nürburgring, and it’s going to be tough. You’re going to see highlights from two Assetto Corsa Competizione LFM races and, between them, there’s no shortage of action. Can I add to my list of ACC online wins? Let’s find out…

Better to try and fail than not to try at all fella. My advice is don’t lose the aggression and the will to fight for wins - over time you’ll get more used to fighting at the front and instinctively rein it in a bit.

@chrisrogerssimracing 22 күн бұрын

Thank you mate, yeah great advice. And also look at it with a bit of context. 12 months ago my ACC video themes were usually ‘can I get in the top 15?’. 6 months ago they were ‘can I get in the top 10?’. So it’s a good sign of progress when I view a P5 as a disappointment 😀

Cheers, I would also have secured P2 if I’d been happy to sit behind him and follow him home on that last lap. I knew it was unlikely I’d find a way to overtake (I’d not managed to over the previous 24 mins) but thought I’d throw everything at it!

First race ..... nothing surprising. Nürburgring first lap is a Killer one. Second race .... it really was your race. I think to be safe was the thing to do but its in your nature ..... you always go all in 😉 Fantastic vidéo again.

@chrisrogerssimracing 22 күн бұрын

The me of 6-12 months ago would certainly have played it safe and followed the leader home. It would have been a guaranteed P2. But yeah, lately I’ve been making a conscious effort to be a bit more attacking. I just went over the limit here. Three times 🤣

@BOTRacing 22 күн бұрын

Personally I find that if I just hit my own marks and don't push beyond my own limits, I do much better in races. I would encourage you to do the same, just hit your own marks and what it will be it will be. Your race craft is superb to say the least and I love racing with you and watching your videos.

Wise words indeed, Adam. It would take a wise man to follow them… which clearly I wasn’t, in this one! Battling for race wins is new territory for me, so I’m still learning to find the right balance between attack and caution!

@daviddavies3637 22 күн бұрын

I had my head in my hands on that last lap. I knew you'd hit the brakes too late for that first incident before it happened. And that bloody corner at the top of the hill is a death trap for the unwary. Not sure if it's because the car goes a little light. Corner's maybe too slow for the wing to have an effect and too fast to keep the car planted to the ground as you come over the top. Got to be one of the most annoying corners in ACC. You had a difficult call to make. I'd probably have played safe because I know I tend to make more mistakes when I'm running close behind another car. But you knew he had mistakes in him as well, so can understand the decision to go for it.

@chrisrogerssimracing 22 күн бұрын

Yeah, that was a spectacular miscalculation, going into the hairpin. Definitely a case of target fixation… so much focus on the car in front, I took my eye off my braking markers for a split second. Then the next spin, well my tyres were already struggling and they were probably dirty too from the gravel trap. Add in my frustration for the first mistake, and it’s a recipe for disaster 🤣

Haha yes. My first gut instinct was to feel frustrated and disappointed, but then I quickly remembered where I was 6-12 months ago… when pretty much every ACC video was me saying “can I get into the top 15?” So to be here now, feeling like I underperformed with a P5, is a clear sign of good progress!

@neiledwards6149 20 күн бұрын

Chris, your front tyre temperatures were way too low. Should be aiming for 90 ish degrees. Tyres would have given more grip later in the race. Good luck with the next one.

@chrisrogerssimracing 20 күн бұрын

Yeah I know mate. Tyres are a bit of a lottery for me… I don’t get chance to do any practice sessions, so qualifying before the race is the only chance I get to make some quick tyre pressure adjustments. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t!

@JasonWMorningwood 22 күн бұрын

It wasn't the yellow BMWs fault, it was the ferrari behind. I know that, because I was the one driving it. The BMW got spooked by the cars in front and braked earlier than I expected and I just didn't react in time. Even got suspended for 3 days for causing a mass crash. I guess that's fair enough, feels a bit harsh considering it wasn't a big mistake or a reckless move that caused the incident, but I guess the outcome of 73 people dying as a result of my mistake is what they judged on. Either way, my bad :D

@chrisrogerssimracing 22 күн бұрын

Ahh mate, unlucky. Yeah when I saw the replay from the chopper cam, I noticed you giving the BMW a nudge. I also saw the report and the ban… I thought it was a little bit harsh! I made a MUCH bigger mistake than that in a previous race with a careless rejoin, and only got a time/SR penalty. But I guess LFM are hot on clamping down on mass crashes. Tbf we can tell it’s an honest mistake… it’s so easy to run into someone when everybody is braking at different times into that corner.
