 What's up everybody and welcome back here on Forza Motorsports 7 for a recap of round 3 of SSR at Board Atlanta. We are going to be taking a look at my qualifying runs. So the qualifying runs were pretty decent. I ended up getting an 80.5 which put me in the 11th spot for qualifying, which I was very happy with to get 11th spot. And you know it was definitely a good time to have a little bit of a pressure off because there was not 24 drivers that made it into qualifying so there was only 22. So I needed to make sure I just got a points on the board and I was into the show. I didn't know that and after my first run it was like and that's what you do to get into the show and then I sent it a little bit harder on the second run. It did get an 80.5 so it was definitely cool to get the 11th spot and the 11th position in qualifying and actually qualify for the round not just you know qualify in you know last place since just because I made it in because there wasn't enough drivers I was up there in you know the bracket tree. So going into the battles. Going into the battles was very interesting. I was originally seated up against somebody but I think they dropped out last minute so I ended up getting a buy run into the top 16. So I needed to make a buy run. I needed to not zero the buy run and I almost zeroed my buy run. If I were to zero the buy run I wouldn't have made it to 16 so I accidentally made a mistake going on the exit of the final almost the final turn of road Atlanta and I had to clutch in e-brake real quick to keep car angled. You guys will see that in the raw footage after I'm done after I explain on this. I'm going to show you guys the raw footage from my buy run as well as my tandem run. So we went into top 16. We were going against Wented. Wanted. Wented. I'm not really sure how it's pronounced. So he was very consistent. was a very consistent driver all day and very consistent driver all around in his ATSV. I was supposed to face him in round one but I ended up not getting a chance to. So it was a battle that I was anticipating and I wanted to do. So we went against him. I had to chase first because he was a hot top qualifier higher than me in qualifying. So I started off you know with the 50 roll and we went into initiation. Well he snapped the angle real quick. I kind of had to like finesse the car into angle on entry because I was a little bit focused on trying not to hit him. But that kind of left me at a little bit of a you know a deficit because I was a little bit behind. I was able to pick up the pace. I was had to sacrifice some angle to kind of keep up with him because his ATSV was really quick. And I had to sacrifice angle and then the judge noticed it because they wanted me to be in more angle from their commentary. But unfortunately I had to stay a little bit shallower to keep up with him. His car was really quick and I wanted to I was trying to sacrifice angle to gain proximity and it was kind of just you know my initiation I know made the mistake because I didn't get to angle as fast enough. I got to the angle he was at but it was a little bit too late. So we were at a little bit of a deficit going into our lead run. So lead run goes. I got a good jump off the line. I think he maybe knew he had an advantage. So we kind of backed up a little bit. I had anthem doing some you know spotting for me letting me know what's going on. And so I left the line got a good jump on him. Initiated hard in the first turn got real quick angle really nice initiation really high angle right online right on clip and just continued the course wanted was right there. He was a little bit further back but then I was in some of the parts of the track but he was able to catch up to me. I was able to hit all my clips and where I needed to be and finish the run strong with a high angle exit going up to powering out up the hill. The judges took a little bit to deliberate because you know I had a really good lead and you know but it was just not enough to overshadow the deficit I had on my chase where I didn't get to angle right away and I had to be lower angle when I was chasing him because I couldn't keep up with the car. So the 370 I also had to cut the last clip on my chase as well which unsettled the car when I hit the rumble strips. 370 is very very dependent on weight transitioning and hitting that rumble strip and like clipping the grass a little bit kind of unsettled the suspension and the judge has noticed it. So unfortunately we took the loss in 16. I don't feel bad. It was a great it was a fun time you know bringing out the 370 for the first time. Definitely very comfortable in it looking forward to round four at Homestead where they're going to be going on the bank. So it's definitely going to be fun going in round four. I had learned a lot in the round with the 370 with just a little bit I drove. Learned a lot with the tuning from I tend to Maddie helping me out with Anthem and Renga and all the guys helping me get this car dialed. So I'm looking forward to round four not going to let it bother me because you know this is all for fun you know I'm doing it because it increases my driving yes if I get an USDA license it'd be even better but I'm doing it because I enjoy it. I love doing it. I love bringing you guys the content of the competitive side of Forza for Forza drifting and the competitive side for me and the learning curve that I'm going from with this being technically other than the one run I did in my FC last season that first event at SR this is you know my first real you know drive into competitive drifting at Forza so it's a big learning curve for me and you know I'm I'm learning a lot and I'm gaining more knowledge and I'm getting better and better every round so I'm not upset that I lost in 16 I will get some points but I'm also not upset because he went on to take the win overall in the event so I ended up losing to the guy who won overall so I don't feel bad at all like I said I do this for fun so make sure you guys follow me on Instagram and Twitter all of what you found in the description box below I'm going to leave you guys with the raw footage with Anthem and I from my buy run and my tandem run against Washington in round three so I hope you guys enjoy it hope you guys come back more torque drifting stuff coming this week as well as preparation for round four at Homestead which looks like it might be wet so we're gonna end this here with the commentary leave you guys with the raw footage you'll hear Anthem and I him talking about my runs and everything like that and I hope you guys come back and as always I'll see you guys next time that was almost really bad that was almost really bad oh that was almost written to last corner I don't think I don't think I zeroed I don't think I came out of drift but holy crap that could have been bad uh you had a major major correction but you should be good that was almost really bad that was a major correction like at the end yeah like quala right now said it ain't zero but yeah so pretty much it's your battle I'm gonna meet you Mike you're luck buddy oh yeah let me know when you have finished your first run all right I tire dropped on the exit of the last turn uh that wasn't that bad uh you you still have the battle chance but uh also you were uh in the initiation you were pretty much on the same angle as he was so all right so I'm gonna go try to lose him all right try to lose it keep your line oh that was so close dropping two at the end holy crap you had a better lead than he did you were on the better uh that entry though it was pretty good you wanted me to throw more angle I threw more angle for you that no dude that was perfect that was nice but I feel that you were I was more angle on entry though oh yeah definitely but I don't want to say it but I'm thinking that you I had a better line yeah and I had more proximity yeah yeah so this you never know it's really quiet this might be on t but yeah you were playing with the last corner at the line like you exit you were you were fucking playing I was tickling that zero that could have been that I was couldn't go any further yeah that lead was good though I believe that when you chased you said that you dropped on the exit I don't believe that you dropped because I it was so close but you were on rumble I believe hopefully I thought I dropped it I just can't I just didn't get the angle when I've chased him that was my that's my
