This is the final stint for Max Verstappen in the iRacing 24 hours of Daytona. Some might say that Team Redline slip streamed their way to victory, but this was the perfect strategy to get the team win and not as easy as it looks!

i was watching live on Steel river Sims stream, and rewound it to see it again.... it was going into turn 1 in the heavy braking zone.....he wasnt bump drafting there. Apparently his teammate in front had a tiny bobble and Max had to brake harder than expected to avoid hitting him, which caused the spin into turn 1. Luckily no GTP's/LMP's directly behind him, so there was no damage, only lost 6 seconds, and Max actually drove quicker to catch him.

The number 198 ART car was actually like 10 laps down from quite early on in the race so from that point on they only stayed in to help the 199 ART car. At some point they had another incident to cost them another 15 laps though, so the 199 car lost quite some time when they didn't get a draft for 15+ laps. But that's all part of endurance racing. You need a bit of luck and consistency to stay out of trouble to win as well as talent.

@dbzcollector9963 4 ай бұрын

He’s bump drafting to help the other car and himself catch up to the lead group or sometimes people use it to break away from big groups it’s a very common strategy. Basically it’s faster to bump someone making them go slightly faster and staying in the draft than going for a pass that isn’t gonna stick. On tracks like this that have long sections without turns it’s not gonna be an easy pass cause of the draft. If he tried passing he’d just lose time cause eventually the other car will gain draft speed and go for a pass as well making both drivers lose time.

Number 2 car was 33 seconds behind and after 1.5 hour 34 seconds. Perfection?

They should make the cars overheat if you do it so much I think. At least run hotter than normal and lose a bit of power.

When Max drove through the pace car at 0:21, I nearly died laughing. 🤣👍❤ I bet Max only does this to refresh his memories of what it's like when somebody actually overtakes him. 😂

@@marvinkruse But how does Max's car benefit from being a lap ahead and then just sticking behind his teammate car, right on its tail. Why not switch position? Also, must be stressful having a car follow this close. Is it not risky?

@@BombdiverBT Bumpdrafting benefits both cars, not just the leading car! Also they do switch later on, so Max is in front as well. I'd say if done by good drivers, the risk of bumpdrafting is minor/worth it, especially if both drivers know what they are doing. I'd assume the amount of stress is probably lower the more experience you have doing it, in Oval racing it's just normal I think? I personally am not really comfortable doing it as much, as I would 100% mess it up at some point 😂
