 What's up, everybody? I'm EvilRabbit and we are here staring at my SSR FC that I was using to compete this week in an SSR round six at Long Beach So today we're going to take a look at my battle runs and uh commentate on them a little bit And uh, you know give you guys a chance to see the competition and everything like that from my point of view So it was a lot of fun doing it had a lot of fun some great battles with some old friends And some uh new friends as well So we're going to get right into talking about the battles So my first battle was in basically, I guess Poliminaries top 32 I guess you would say they run a weird bracket systems You ended up having to win two battles in order to go to top 16 So my first battle was up against jonesy Um, very solid driver. He uh had won his earlier battle his first uh his first run I was heating up my tires and getting my car all set up Uh, we were running a little bit laggy timed Because uh the discord was a little bit slow, but um Overall, um, it ran very well. So like I said, my first battle was against jonesy I was in the lead position in the start Um, you and k t john you guys know big uh big time Member of the channel been here from Forza horizon three days. It was our gate person So we made our first run we were in the lead in the lead position against uh, Jonesy 50 roll up to the 500 and we initiated in right before the two So my first initiation was a pretty good. I was a little bit off the clip Jonesy was right there with me was able to transition close to the wall didn't hit it And was able to keep the car over that bump and not totally spent on almost lost it there Flicked it a little bit too hard was able to recover it But at that point I was like, okay That's kind of a bit of a deficit because I over rotated through that section and I was like, okay Well, I'm gonna have to do something major in the chase in order to get this battle win. So We ended up looping it back and uh getting ready for our second run We were getting ready for the second run I was trying to heat up my front tires because I noticed on initiation My uh front tires washed a little bit that kind of pushed me a little bit wider than I wanted to on initiation So that's why we decided to uh heat up our tires a little bit in the front so then I went into the chase position against Jonesy and uh Very solid driver like I said before he was very smooth in his uh battle before Um, he was going against me like I said, we were waiting on the gate car was definitely kind of very nervous Um after throwing in a little bit too hard, but I kind of calmed myself down and just realized it was just another tandem battle No big deal nothing to really worry about at first. I was like great I got a bad start But then I was able to get up to the 50 roll get up there right with Jonesy And uh flick it in and try to flick it right on his door stayed off the rumble curb A little bit of a straight in there, but it wasn't too much And then I was able to basically pour on the pressure with Jonesy a little bit over rotation there again Through the fountain, but I was able to keep the car in control and this is where it all went wrong for Jonesy He uh Overrotated on the final turn and came into my door So because of that the judges deemed that as a spin Before the end of the run because we had to power out that section before the end of the run So I was given the win against Jonesy because he had uh Made a mistake. So it was definitely um dinners were gone. First battle was out of the way I had one more to do to make myself into top 16 So like I said, I was given the win on that battle and then we went into the battle of Well something someone who has been in the channel prior before and is a big long time uh member of the channel for You know back in the Forza horizon three days. So we were waiting to see who actually uh Was going to give me if I was going to be given the win or anything like that. So we decided to uh Get all Parked up and wait for our next battle and our next battle was against T John himself and uh, well, we lined up with T John We uh, we were in the chase first and then we had our lead. So the first uh the first battle between uh T John and I was uh, definitely very intense and uh T John like I said a long time uh Long time member of the channel been around for the whole Forza horizon three days We did a lot of tandem and stuff like that and it was a lot of fun, you know going against him in ssr. So We were lined up waiting for the gate car to go T John was in the lead position at first and uh, I was in the follow so The nerves were a little bit uh a little bit gone at this point and I was just more like, okay This is T John. I've tanned him with him before. He's a good driver I can throw it in there and have a good time with it because From what I was singing and practice with him and stuff like that and seeing his driving He's very smooth So the worst part about this whole competition was sitting at that gate car waiting for the run because the only communication We really had was through the uh discord So i'm sitting there, you know waiting and then you know the gate car finally moves It's like, okay. I got to make sure i'm uh, you know get off the clutch right and don't stall the car So I can get a good Uh chase we get up to the 50 roll we start rolling in T John initiates. I initiated in there right with him I fall back a little bit because a little bit of bobble on initiation but then i'm able to suck back up to T John's door and kind of uh Kind of stay with him trying not to overdo it through that uh fountain section because that is a bad section to uh Overcharge in there. So I was not all the way out to that out of touch and go T John smacks the wall there and uh kind of straightens up a little bit so With that we went into uh the chase position Uh for T John and I went into the lead position for our second run. So At this point I knew I had a little bit of a deficit with the straightening But then T John hit the wall so it kind of I guess evened it out So we were kind of at I guess a stalemate in a sense And it was more so I need to do something on my lead To fully stand out in front of T John or if he was better in his chase, you know I was going to take that loss and not make it in the top 16. So I was just focused on my initiation point trying to make sure I initiated right Didn't wash out didn't hit the rumbles didn't uh write the car off into the tire barrier Which we saw a couple times prior to my runs So the second run with me and the lead and uh T John and the chase Um did my 50 roll hard on the throttle shifting in the third Flicking in right before the 200 didn't do that much of initiation But it was a good initiation T John right there tapping me a little bit and then initiating back and forth This port I was a little bit better on that key Um on the base basically keyhole around the fountain So my lead run I felt was so much better and then I was a little bit shallow there and I ran the curve So I'm sitting there like okay. Well, I made a mistake on my lead, but I felt like T John fell back a little bit Well, the judges could not deem a winner so that we ended up going one more time They the judges know him T so T John and I had to line up again and go one more time and you know what? I couldn't been happier with a one more time because I knew the mistakes I made I knew I could correct those because I had I've been able to make those clean runs after that So we ended up lining up for a one more time battle T John and I definitely uh You know like I said a very good guy a very good friend of mine. So we lined up for a one more time battle for um to find out who was going into top 16 and um The nerves were like I said the nerves were not really there anymore It was just another tandem battle. So we went into our one more time battle I kind of stalled a little bit T John was nice enough I noticed to slow up to make sure I could get up with him and then we did our 50 roll We went in T John initiated really close to the wall I initiated right there with him a little bit farther back and this is workout a little a little sketchy They said I straightened out. I don't see a straighten out there at all But they were saying that I had straightened up In drift and they almost wanted demon is zero now there. I could see it was possibly a straighten But T John was a little on a weird Weird, I guess line that I wasn't ready for so at this point. I kind of knew I was at kind of a Disadvantage going into my chase Or going into the lead of the next run So we went back around loop back around lined up with the gate car and uh We're waiting just for the gate car. I'm going through my head. I'm like, okay I need to make sure I just initiate correctly make sure I throw some angle Don't straighten up make sure that hump way before that You know water fountain turn. I don't let it, you know disrupt the car too much. The FC was running very incredible I definitely like how this car handles definitely using this car more so It was my lead run for the one more time battle 50 roll up initiated hard in Definitely a lot more angle than all my other ones T John's still right there But he faltered off a little bit there I was able to keep my composure and work my way through get over the bump, but he had misjudged The transition and he ended up hitting me and it made him go back pretty far There and then right there. He kind of misjudged it a little more I threw on tons of angle at the end of the run gladden the wall so T John and I Were super excited about that run. We're waiting for the judges call and We uh, we're wondering, you know, what was gonna happen and uh, well T John I think either he knew what happened or he just Decided to go full send because well he ends up you know on his lid in the fountain section and definitely kind of a funny Funny instant to come around to just see him send it into the wall and end up on his roof You know T John great guy great battle against T John definitely was excited to go against him The judges deemed me and gave me the win which sent me on to the top 16 Now top 16 was where it got intense for me because I got bracketed up against my Usual suspects teammate to us anthem who also helped me to the car and made the paint for me So it was kind of like a all right. Well, this is just another tandem with a t us guy if I lose if I win Whatever this is t us guy going into grade eight So I got bracketed up with my t us teammate t us anthem for the top eight and uh, well we're gonna take a look at what happened there because uh I kind of made a little bit of a mistake And it cost me the run uh t us anthem a very solid driver and uh, he's definitely a Very good pro driver for sure So because he's also has his ssr pro license. It was definitely a very solid driver So like I said, we got bracketed up against him for You know top 16. So him and I lined up gate car went I was not Really ready. I kind of got a bad start, but we were right there with him I kind of bumped him a little bit because I was not set so I kind of started off a little bit behind him And uh, I kind of got a little bit left behind by him He was definitely on a very fast tear his car glitched a little bit there I was able to catch up a little bit, but Almost happened the wall there definitely was super scared that I was going to write that off But I was able to kind of catch up and stay in Chase so my chase run in the top 16 was not that bad I was a little bit far back, but it's not like it was an incredibly Currently billiard bad run, you know anthem very solid lead driver very solid chase driver So it was time to flip it up and give me the chance to Throw down my lead run, but this is where A mistake was made on my part. I misjudged something. Unfortunately. The win did go to anthem You know, like I said, I was not upset to lose to t us anthem in the top 16 So we did our 50 roll hard on throttle. I wanted to initiate hard initiated through on some extra angle, you know, kind of Guess clipped out a little bit, but anthem was right there. I was able to Definitely run this section probably best I've ever run right through there right on there Right here is where I made the mistake through too much angle there Accidentally mis-anticipated the transition slowed down way too much on the handbrake and That last turn is what did it for me and what caused me to lose to to lose that battle You know, I misjudged it. I misjudged the transition. I threw too much angle in there in the first one So big, you know, congratulations to us anthem for moving on to grade eight Unfortunately, he got knocked out in the grade eight, but you know, not a Not a not a bad way for me to start my first competition and first, uh, you know comp run Because this is my actual first competition that I've ever been in and for as I've been trying to qualify for Yes day and stuff like that, but I never got a chance to actually compete So this is my first competition to us anthem and I had a nice little parade lap back next to each other rock in the same Leveries and uh, it was just a great experience for me to compete in ssr I had a lot of fun with it gained a lot of experience in competing and uh, definitely excited to do more ssr competitions maybe some kdf's and Continue my goals to try and get into the s into esda So we're gonna be competing at the next ssr round.
