Steve realising that the petrol station in the middle of the track was the pit lane had me cracking up 😂😂

They should really embrace the meme and give this race a go with some minivans or something like that 😂

I like how two threes predicted his finishing interval. +00.033 19:00

Viewers here, hello Steve

The guy who got second place in the race where you won, his name was “two-threes” and he came second by .033. SuperGT stages races confirmed?

Dude talks without moving his mouth. Insane talent 😂

.020….. thats all it took to have the ability to say I BEAT SUPER GT IN A RACE get in there Lewis ☝️☝️😉

I feel like doing this with the Tomahawk would be fantastic, especially if you can change how the gearing would be, because a single wrong move equals the shadow realm

I really enjoy these meme oval races - I feel the move from sweat mode to fun mode creates good vibes in these lobbies. Fun races. GGs

I've heard that the Special Stage X track was designed loosely from the Expressways of Japan, and particular those between Narita International Airport, heading west to the Port of Chiba, and Tokyo Bay. One end of the loop would include the Tokyo Aqua Line, (bridge and tunnel) which crosses Tokyo Bay in Chiba. This route would also pass by the Tokyo Skytree, which a form of is featured on the track. Scaled down, this could be the inspiration for the entire circuit, but I guess only the Polyphony devs would know for sure. Also, the radio telescopes could be based upon Misasa (JAXA) Tsukuba Space Centre, built in this era to replace the Msuda Centre, and not too far away from Narita Airport (by scale). In any way, Special X seems very much an ode to Japanese high speed roads, incorporating some famous landmarks with a twist.

This race could possibly be even better if Polyphony added a side-draft mechanic on the ovals. Another tactical element to consider here

19:00 two-threes finishes with two threes behind

Ideally this is what my commute to work would look like

Dude this brings back such good memories of GT6 racing at 300 mph in our R35s and TZ3s. Back then those were like the fastest road cars in a straightline and slipstream in GT6 was just so comical and the races all came down to who timed their NOS perfectly haha.

This track is the pinnacle of racing, so difficult to get it right. Even after hours of practice it’s still hard to master this piece of engineering.

These oval races are always very fun to me

The mercedes engine seems extremely good to be run at max rev for such a long time without blowing up. The boys at the factory are doing a fantastic job as always.

Kudos to these guys for the clean racing. I tried this race yesterday and by the time we reached the first corner it was a nightmare.

The inner American and nascar fan in me fucking LOVES this raced, lmfao. I love pack racing, and I really think this proves NASCAR drivers race much more technically than most people think. (Imagine this for 500 miles!) The intricacies and precise, calculated moves are what makes oval pack racing so damned awesome in my opinion.

Always a good day when super gt uploads

Probably wouldn't work, but might have been kinda funny picking the Mazda and using all the NOS at the start. Then see how long it takes for everyone to catch up.

Appreciate the play-by-play breakdown of the winning lap immediately after the voice over breakdown of the winning lap. 👍

This race felt like an old Fast and Furious movie, especially with the nitrous and passing every car at 5:50.

I can scarcely believe I watched over 20 minutes of this and was thoroughly entertained.

I like the idea of going 270+ MPH on comfort soft road tires

The irony of 18:59 - A 00.033 second gap by the one and only two-threes! Love it.

Checking through your older content and this has to be one of your best videos with all that strategy involved.

Ahh yes, I’ve NEVER seen this kind of racing before. I’m there aren’t 200 lap 500 mile spectacles that happen four times per year in the US that look just like this

i've been enjoying the mix of voice overs and live reaction/comentary.

That end of race no 3.. my god, that was intense

Fun racing Steve, all I can say about that win is, You're Welcome 😉

The key to the AMG is to be as smooth as possible with the steering, the rear wing pops up if you are not smooth as butter and you drop a couple of mph, stay as high as possible on the banking aswell. im in 96th position on the fastest lap challenge using a controller is not easy being smooth lol.

Take into consideration the vector of the wind, it heavily affects the slipstream area by its speed and direction. The farther back you are the more adjustment to the side you need to apply, the closer to perpendicular to your vector of movement is.

Brings so many GT6 memories 😌

It took me nearly 2 years of watching SuperGT to realise that Steve is a professional ventriloquist. Pretty Cool!

Hi steve, just want to say i love your content an it keeps me going after a rough day at school. Thanks so much for the hard work an dedication ❤

I really like testing vehicle speed on this track. Sometimes I just face this track for fun. I’m glad it’s in the game

Awesome race!! Old fashioned fun 😅

They should make fuel into a factor of the race. Either push hard and pit for lap 2 ( 2 laps race ) Or save fuel to go to the end!

Feel like there's some epic free-roam potential around SSX (On top of the secret/incomplete alternative layout)

Pull-in and pull-out game level 69/10

love these races, the jostling for position and team work but self work so good

no front, DMX spinning up right before the finish line got me kinda hyped haha

Truly amazing track. So intricate and detailed. Always fun to watch, quali especially

Thanks to your tips, had my first race of this, choose the Merc, and managed to bag 1st! A little sad it doesn't count to my DR/SR ranking, but it makes sense

This race is NASCAR in a nutshell.

the third race ending had me laugh out loud, look at the name of the second place contender, then look at his delta to leader (SuperGT, obviously)...you just cant make that stuff up :D

This video is essentially “British man figures out the basics of restrictor plate racing”

You really stepped up your game Steve! Loving this new style! 🔥

I felt sorry for Dinlo on that 3rd or 4th race. "This guy behind me seems keen to work together to get us to the front..." Steve - Well if he isn't going to go back to single file I will... see ya succker... lol

This makes me think of Nascar races at Daytona & Talladega

I used to play this race in GT6 at night time. Amazing!

The start of the second race is pretty much Super GT doing his best Jackson Storm impression.

It's funny the first few times this race appeared, it was more of a joke. But you really do explain and analyze many elements of it and, I guess, this is kind of what NASCAR is about? It's psychological and all about timing, rather than straight up racing lines and corner entry/exit.

This is why I don't underestimate "stock" car racing in an oval. But good luck to me having Europeans agree with me. I think the majority would rather joke about it.

I need these shenanigans monthly.

I actually find this form of racing to be quite interesting, like Talladega but longer. It requires strategy in both driving and tuning, which is fun to see put in action. I wouldn't mind an entire game mode dedicated to this, maybe called Streamlining or something?

Was just watching your superformula video again, great timing.

That looks cool, definitely got the 1st races nos wrong, you finished with a whole 3rd of your nos still unused, that's lap time just sitting in a bottle being carried across the line. Really enjoyed the content.

I always learn so much when I watch your videos

I think this race would be fun with muscle cars or 90’s sedans and hatchbacks. Either way, love the vid and cant wait for that merch to launch!

Running 30 min enduros with Nsacar Stock Cars tuned was always a BLAST with good friends who were nuts.

love your commentary and races

Super GT transcending reality with that new classic ventriloquist live commentary

i love this vid as i use it for you explaining the main way to look at the race (:

Reminds me of an older Forza, running “nascar” stock cars around a 3 mile oval. Just pure bump drafting, intense but fun.

Like with all oval races, like Daytona and Talladega fot example, timing is key, patience is crucial and drafting is a must

Raced on this track for the first time last night (I know, I know) and it was some of the most fun I've ever had. It took me a minute to get a hang of the drafting but man did GT ever nail it. Came out of the last corner perfectly in 3rd as the 2 players in front of me were fighting for position; came out of their draft just in time to take the win. Amazing track for being so "simple" because one wrong move and it's literally over. I mean I guess that's how it is with every track but I feel it more so with one because the speeds are insane.

I'd be interested to see what would happen if you used all the NOS right at the beginning in the RX7

Absolute mental of a video, good stuff steve👌

1:01 incredible... Steve said that without moving his mouth.

I did this the other day with one of my Vipers maxed out at 256. Fun track lol

I really enjoyed my cameo in Race 3! GT-R had poor acceleration but glad I made the cut!

Winning by 0.033 against a guy called two threes is just great

Grear content as usual keep up the good work Steve. 😊

this race is like if they took the backstretch battles game from roblox, turned the straight line into a massive oval-ish circuit, and put it into gran turismo. and i love it

I actually enjoy watching you race here

Ty to the Colin McCraig guy... he was the bump and follow that got you to the front there at the end. He took advantage and followed to a 2nd. /cheers

I would love this race considering I mostly do nascar racing, working the draft and building up runs is my bread and butter 🙌🏼 this is basically nascar without restrictive plates, love it.

In all honesty, your videos about this race made me finally understand nascar lol

Excellent racing, you love to see it, Steve.

Ty so much for using the RX-7 Steve!!!!! I owned 1 back when I was younger! Hope I wi! 51 yrs young and I've never used a Wheel!

reminds me on LFS Oval racing in th BF1 lol Oval Junkies! great stuff dude, oval is something different indeed :)

Bro this feels like modern formula e where like 90% of the race is just drafting but that final power filled 10% is where the exciting stuff start happening

While i don't normally love oval maps that much, this one is a sure-go.

this is the best most optimal video to sleep to

Dude, I'm loving your content! And I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for your charitable work helping to raise funds for building schools ❤🙏 That 24hr GT race was a grueller and deserved every ££££ that you managed to raise. And the follow up video 2yrs later made me weep with joy. You're a true Gentleman. Thank you for your humanity 🙏🙏🙏❤🙏🙏🙏. I volunteer for a local charity here in the UK, for people who need Hospice care, and would love to team up with you in a double fundraiser if you are interested? I signed up to your merch site so you have my details. Thanks

This reminds me of a nascar race at Atlanta or another superspeedway. If motorsport games just made this the whole game I would be happy.

Steve’s videos goated as always

This kind of racing is nerve racking you sweat these race out just see the Nascar race yesterday insane

3:31 Yea steve I can. Its done 6 times a year. Was 4 but now we have Atlanta

Absolutely amazing ventriloquism skills on display here, I had no idea. What can't you do Steve?

Entertaining as always and I stayed awake through the whole thing. 😉 But seriously, is the Fanatec bundle open to the States? Nothing happens when I click to sign up.

It's like his thoughts are being projected as he sits silently in the box Like if you were in the room with him his voice would just be there

This was weirdly fascinating!

This race is like watching different schools of fish in a fish tank. Fascinating

These are so intense! It’s such a chess match and then it’s a free for all right near the end.

Didnt even blink the last corner.. man was focused on the victory

I remember playing this race in GT6 when I was a kid just to relax

Very interesting race, would've enjoyed it if I was on the game at the time.
