Glad to see you doing stuff on the oval side, Dave. I feel like so many European racers look down on it, both in sim and in the real world. I'm a big road racing guy, but NASCAR represents some of the closest, most dynamic racing on the planet. Simple formula, yes. But the talent levels, technical constraints, the consistency required, the reacecraft and strategy needed... all off the charts. Good luck as you progress, sir!

I was that european driver until I tried myself 😂 And from the ARCA in iRacing it was the most tense,stresfull and rewarding in a same time race ever. I don't think Im that focused anywhere else then doing ovals in iRacing 😂

Don’t get me wrong I love F1, IMSA etc, but there’s just something about banging doors at Bristol that gets the blood pumping. But the heart and soul of America are the local short tracks. On the dirt is where it was born. That and running moonshine. Great history behind how NASCAR became what it is. To see a race is person is an experience. 43 going by at once makes your organs vibrate. Making me want to race ovals again. Dang it lol

@@davecamm Someone said those trucks have a wedge setting. If this is adjustable on track, the same as weight jacker in the Indy cars (oval only) that's massive. It would mean you can adjust tightness/loseness on the fly, for clean/dirty air and tire condition.

@FlowStateEnergy 18 күн бұрын

As your tires fade you can run a higher line to maximize momentum. Add a round of track bar to the right rear and help you rotate better. Adjust the ride height down. Play with tire pressure before making significant changes to set up. Lots of little things that can be done. Loving the oval stuff! Give dirt oval a try! That’s some intense racing!

@liammangs 18 күн бұрын

Overall, very solid! As a recent race winner on this track starting 17th with a best lap time of 31.046, I have a few recommendations. When entering turns 1 and 2, don't hit the brakes; you can go full throttle on fresh tires to gain a momentum boost down the back straight if you need to overtake. This strategy does wear out the tires but can be useful for passing someone. Focus on maintaining a wide line and cutting down to the apron/white line with half throttle to keep up the momentum. Then, full throttle as you exit, allowing the truck to naturally slide up to the wall with minimal steering input. Turns 3 and 4 are very tricky and took me a long time to master. I didn't brake at all during the race (unless avoiding contact). I would partially let off the throttle entering the corner, using the last sticker on the outside wall as my marker. Then, I would casually steer the truck toward the apron and, once it hooked up, go full throttle out, letting it naturally slide up to the wall and run to the line. I managed to run 40 laps on the same set, towards the end everyone was fulling off but I was able to stay in it a little longer and get some passes done. The key with the new truck model is maintaining clean air in the corners and preserving momentum. Hopes this help mate! Hope to see you in a lobby soon. Keep up the ovals, absolutely loving it.

@simnutracing 21 күн бұрын

Impressive without much practice. You were hit and miss with 3 and 4. When you were taking the lower line late in the run, you were blipping the throttle on/off, then picking it up to accelerate. Sure you know already, that only causes the nose to come up briefly causing more understeer. When you took a slightly higher line, you were letting the truck roll a bit further through the center, then picking the throttle up a lot better and didn't slide the tires and scrub speed. Watch the difference on laps 73-75. Rooting for ya Dave!

Good racing, Dave! HAHAHA, Casey Ryback. That's Steven Segall's charachter's name in the movie, Under Seige. Oval racing can be a ton of fun, but it can also be nightmare. I think there are many iRacers who may be in the lower ranks who just don't take it seriously enough, turning it into a demolition derby and think nothing of it.

@krusty783 20 күн бұрын

Good racing Dave. You’re learning that oval racing can be quite difficult. Yes, you need to get comfortable with letting the rear end step out a little. If you get comfortable & good at controlling it, that can make you stronger at the end of a stint/race when the tires start to wear a bit and the cars get oversteery. Also, do some practice laps and try to minimize time off the throttle. Try dropping to 75% or 50% throttle at corner entry. Dropping the throttle to 0 really kills your momentum. Watch the video and you can watch yourself losing ground to the guy in front because he’s entering the corner at part throttle and you’re completely out of it. Over an 80 lap race, that will add up.

Great first Crack at a new track/car combo on the ovals Dave. Keep up the great work. Your learning quickly. Once you start getting more comfortable with the cars, try some side drafting on the bigger tracks like these. If you can get beside someone down the straight if you get tight to them you will slow them down and allow you to make the pass easier. Keep searching around. Finding the lines that work best for you and your car.

@MikeBoire 22 күн бұрын

Dave great fun watching you as usual. My advice is do more practice laps for the track your gonna run on. Get to know which line is fast, which line is easier on tires and which line you can save til the last 5 laps to make things happen. Only time to really push is the last 5 laps. But keeping in contention til then without burning up the tires requires track knowledge, which comes from practice. Also you should learn more about wedge settings and track bar settings so you can tweak the set up to help your driving style. I would recommend watching tommy brandon on you tube. He has alot of good videos that could help you quite a bit. Keep on it Dave, i see a win in the future in the ovals👍

Just a quick tip. For ovals and nascar as a whole, when on the back striaghtways you need to be door to door with the cars outside going into the corner. You’re gonna get abused going into a corner so shallow!!! Try to keep the same arc you use regularly while under them. Sure you know but just a heads up for anyone!!!

Thanks for your comment. I'm also a foreigner (Oz) trying to get the hang of the finer points of turning left. I know that saving the front right is everything and yet I'd been watching Dave chop his throttle on entry and wonder how does that help? I've been doing alright but I gently back off the throttle on corner entry. I was thinking maybe I'd missed something basic and was starting to doubt my own approach. But what you said cleared things up in my mind. Cheers most sincerely.

I know exactly how you will get better. 1 and 2 you did pretty good but 3 and 4 you need to wait 1 second longer to get back on the gas, early throttle is making you push center off. My suggestion is to run it in 3 a little deeper and lift for 1 second longer. So you can hook the bottom center off.

I was going to say the same thing, from my lowly position on the ovals. I'm very safe but not very racey (A rating with ~1.2 iR) and yeah, when you're out of the draft of the cars in front don't fight the guy near you, work together to catch up. The draft is strong in the trucks, especially with the new model. Everything everyone else has said about searching for lines and being earlier or later on/off the throttle is probably great advice but right now above my pay grade :) The low hanging fruit is drafting
