 What's up everybody and welcome back to the channel I'm EvilRabbit and we are here today in Forza MotorSport 7 to talk a little bit about the new SSR season that is going to be kicking off in two weekends from now. So we are staring at it E92 M3 with that SSR door card to US EvilRabbit, Usual Suspects, Torque Drift, Fan Attack of Godot Gaming and Sikkimotor Sports and of course NRG Innovations. So I will be competing in the entire third season of SSR this year as a pro driver. I know you guys probably watched the one round I did compete in at Long Beach in my FC and I did pretty well. Won a couple battles, had a lot of fun so I was given a chance to compete as a pro driver in this season because they're doing pros and an open class and the pro drivers have the ability to go for an ESDA license which is what I'm going for. So I have a couple cars that are built that I'm still just baiting on which cars I want to run. The rules have been changed a little bit where you can it's still 500 horsepower max but now there's max tire width of 275s and you have weight restrictions for 255s, 265s and 275s and minimum the minimum amount of weight the car can be is 2,500 pounds. This car is a little bit on the heavier side not by much but it's able to run 275s which is what I have on the car. I do have a car that's also built on 255s that is actually 25... 2,523 or 35 pounds so it's like 35 pounds just over the minimum weight. So we're going to be testing these here today. The first round is at the Osmarina. I'm super excited to be in as a pro driver in the SSR season. I'm going to be doing a lot of tandem comps this season. We'll be missing round two because of my wedding that will be happening the day before but I will be doing all the other rounds. Super excited to be competing to try and get my ESDA pro license so we're gonna get into it today. We're gonna go take this E92 out to Osmarina do some practice as well as bring out the other cars that I have an idea and I kind of want to see what you guys think on which car you think I should drive this season or of the two cars that I have. I can run both but I'm leaning more towards one than the other but I'm curious what you guys think and what you guys think of the two cars that I have chosen. So like I said I have chosen the E92 and then I've also chosen another small convertible car that is 255 tires. So one's V8 the other one's V6. So we're gonna test it have a little fun with it make sure you tap that subscribe button and that like button I do appreciate the support. Make sure you follow me on Instagram and Twitter all those who found the description box below and because I've been a part of the channel for a long time you guys have know of my nostalgia wheel the Mint Green and Nero Chrome energy innovations wheel. We brought it back out here for today and for a little bit we're gonna run that and just see what we can do with this this wheel. So like I said I have chosen this car as well as another car so we're gonna rock this car first. Oh the Mint Green wheel does feel very good. I do miss the Wood Green wheel as well. I do love my Alcatara but this wood grain is definitely a nostalgia to the channel. It's the rim I started with when I modified my original G920. So the Aspirina circuit is round one here so a little bit of a take on it. I will explain it when I do a little bit of a run but we got to heat up the tires first. It's definitely a tricky course because you got to use rumble strips and if you're a wheel user rumble strips can sometimes be very bad and feel very weird on a wheel. So we've tried to get the suspension dialed very softly and be able to handle those bumps very well. So we're just gonna run it. We're gonna start at the no entry sign and we're gonna do our 50 roll in this E92. We got to do a 50 roll to the cones. Power on, initiate by the 50 sign. It's a little bit too early. Use that rumble strip, kick back the other way. We went a little bit too deep there but then you got to kick it out and try to stay as close as you can to this white line. So that was a very bad first run but of course you know got to get the bugs worked out on this car. This one is I don't have as much time on this car as I do the other one but like I said definitely very excited to be running the full SSR season this year. Big thank you to the UNK guys giving me the chance to be a pro driver in the SSR season, technically season three which the other season just ended. The one I did could be one round in at Long Beach. So definitely had a lot of fun doing it. That's what we're doing a full season minus round two but my wedding is a little more important than a round two of SSR. So we're gonna go try to get this one, do this one again. We're gonna do our 50 roll, heavy on power, initiate right about that 50. That's a little bit better. Put that rumble strip around the brakes. We can run that rumble strip and then we're gonna want to kick this to us as we can. We're supposed to run that inner white line. We can drop one tire into the blue I believe. So not a bad run so far in this E92. We're gonna do one or two more with this but you will be seeing a lot of practice here in the next week or two with some of the guys from TUS as well as some of the guys from the UNK, iTandem and maybe JSI. So definitely a lot of teams that I've gotten a chance to drive with recently as well as I think it's BID with a couple of the other guys that I've driven with. I think it's Brothers in Drift. Definitely cool guys met a lot of cool teams and been able to drive with a lot of different people. So you know Forza Drifting has definitely become a very big thing where a lot of people are you get to meet a lot of people doing this stuff. So it's a lot of fun for me. So we're gonna do this again. So the car in. It's a little bit better. Hanging out that angle. That's better than that sweeper. Not as close to the white lines I'd like to be but we didn't go over the white line. So that's a pretty decent run. So not sure if this if I do run this car this is gonna be the livery I run. It's very just simple livery blue with all my sponsors on there. You know, Elgato Gaming, Sikkimotor Sports, Energy Innovations, Torque Drift, Fan Attack. All of them are on there. And always a big thank you to my supporters of the channel and all the support I get from Energy Innovations and the usual suspects as well. Definitely very supportive team. So glad to be a part of it. They've helped me out and I've grown tremendously better in drifting having a bunch of good drivers to drive with. So we're gonna run one more time and then we'll switch it up to the other car. See if we can't get a better run. If you roll that on throttle, kick it in. Kind of straightened out there. See if we can, as a salvage still run. Throw it out there. High angle. If you break it in. We kind of saved it. Clutch kicked it out. Definitely different going from the Alcaterra suede wheel to the minty green wood grain wheel. It's definitely nostalgia flowing through this right now because if you guys, like I said, this is the first energy wheel that I got. First energy wheel I put on when Energy started joining the channel. So to me, this is just kind of like to bring back the memories in the fields of where it all started. So now we are gonna go to the other car that I've been thinking about running here for SSR. And that is actually a Fiat. A Fiat 124 Abarth. We are at 499 horsepower, 255 on street, and this car is actually 2,538 pounds. So it's almost the bare minimal allowance for SSR Pro this year. So it is a v6 watt, so it's not the factory motor. I couldn't get enough power out of the factory motor. I could get about 400 horsepower. I feel I would have been a little bit underpowered compared to some of the other cars that I'd be going against and we're just sending this car. So let me know what you guys think down below. Do you think it should run the E92? Do you think I should run the Abarth? Because both cars, I'm actually quite comfortable and I do like the E92 a little bit more just because BMW are working for the brand. But this Fiat is not a car to be reckoned with. I mean it is different. Not many people run it. I think Ueno runs one and I think one or two other people run them. But not many people run this car. So we're gonna do this one after we heat it up our tires a little bit. Get a 50 roll this. Slam this car in. It's a lot smaller. So the transitions are a little bit snappier but it is also easier to be a lot twitchier with this car because of the shorter wheelbase. So definitely been out of my comfort zone with new cars and stuff like that. Trying to find a car that I'm really comfortable in and this car just kind of came out of nowhere and was like oh hey let me try this. And it kind of was I wouldn't say love it first drifts but I was comfortable with it on a base too. So I dialed the tune a little bit better and decided that it was actually a pretty decent tuned car and it felt pretty good. So now I got to get some tandems with this car some tandems with the E92. I also have my FC on backer from last season in SSR. So if I really want to run that I can run that still. It's still tuned still very comfortable. Try this again. Flick it in nice and hard. A little bit off of that first rumble and clip. There we go. Not a bad run. Not a high scoring run if this was qualifying which is one thing they are doing in SSR Pro now is qualifying which is definitely a cool thing because before they were doing some bracketry system that I was not really understanding but that's why I ran a couple battles in the same lobby and then moved on you know but they're doing you know a 32 bracket at this time so it's definitely a very traditional tandem style and hopefully I'll be able to do good and maybe get my SSR Pro license. My SSR. I have an SSR Pro. My ESTA license got SSR on the brain right now. Been going through cars and everything. My ESTA Pro license may be able to run ESTA Pro next season. Let me bring that C5 Corvette out and actually get a chance to get into tandem battles because that would be sweet. That's a bit better of a run on that sweeper. Finish it out on the rumble strips. So like I said make sure you guys follow me on Instagram and Twitter all of which are found in the description box below. Let me know down below which car you guys think I should use. We are limited like I said to street tires or stock 500 horsepower max and minimum weight of 2500 pounds so this car is like the lowest end of the spectrum and the main 92 is on the higher end but it is on 275s on that V8 close to 499 horses so let me know what you guys think. You guys think there's another car I should use. I'd be very curious what cars you guys think I should use based on if you guys have followed the channel for a while. You guys know my style. You guys know what I kind of like. So we're going to give this one more run to end this episode off. So a little quick talk blip today here for you guys on Monday about SSR Pro and the content that will be coming out this season because of it. I wanted to bring the main green Neocrome rim back out which I feel I'm going to keep on this rig for a little bit. I am going to be bringing the G920 back as well here very soon. So as always I like thank you guys for watching. Hop you rabbit and I will see you guys next time.
