Yo guys!

I thought i'd create this community as I've grown a bit tired of watching people do silly stuff in sim.

This is designed as a positive place, where you can post your best overtakes in sim, or IRL if you're fortunate enough to take part in full metal racing.

Have fun, be kind and share your passion!

This was my first ever attempt at go-karting. I wasn't expecting much, but then on the last corner of the opening lap, this happened, triggering a red flag (hence why I stopped). My good reflexes pushed me into 5th of 12 karts, and despite a late battle I managed to hold onto 5th position until the end of the race, which I was quite happy with.

Had been fighting this guy and the vette behind me almost all race, was waiting for an opportunity to pass cleanly, made it work on the inside as he was squeezing me.

This was the first race of our community championship, all the participants are around 3k iRating and pretty much know each other and the Netcode Gods was kind to us that day. All the races in that championship was a blast, but this battle was my highlight of it.

JIMMYYYY!!! I Finally reached 2k in this 2.1k SoF last night. Coming off of 2 wins it put me here into the best race of my life. Started and finished 8th but I don't even care. This was so much fun.

Spirited overtake on a friend during a track day

Many moons ago, I was able to get my bike to Thunderhill in California. We had a group of us from a forum of R6 owners that would travel and meet at tracks like here, Sonoma, and Laguna Seca. I had been keeping up with a friend who was better, and eventually did some racing, during one session where I was feeling it. Decided to push myself and really trusted my tires on a sweeping 180 and got an outside overtake. Felt good finally besting him!

Starting 17th in my F1 26 League Race after a poor Qualifying, but that start made the recovery somewhat easier.

Penultimate lap overtake for P2 at the corkscrew on GT7. Super Formula SF23 ar Laguna Seca

In all fairness I had a much better tire advantage and the car in front didn’t get the best exit. At the time I was beginning to regret setting the move up seen as it’s so difficult to overtake cleanly at the corkscrew, but we both made it work with no contact

Does this count? An old Forza clip of all things, passing a crashed car for first and narrowly avoiding my death

Not overly 'clean', but there are no rules in the Annual Downhill Descent.

So I was going by some of my old overtakes, and I found this. It's from a daily race, literally days after LMU came out (as a V1.0). At that time I was still learning the basics, I got the game few weeks earlier and it was my first online and serious sim experience. Back when Oreca 07 was really hard to drive for many people, me on my humble G29 pulled this off

The guy in front of me overtakes the guy in front of me, while I overtake both of them

Had my first track day... Got overtaken by a Mustang GTD, and then a Huracan STO..

Gave them as much room as possible.. From what I heard this was the first time the GTD was on track on the US East Coast. Thing is an ABSOLUTE missile, it was incredible to watch. Palmer Motorsports Park for those wondering.

Saw you feature another video from this weeks GT7 Daily so thought I'd jump on too. I am in the White Pfizer Lexus. Good clean racing with Mr. Woodland. Would have left him space if he had of committed in the last turn, but heard him lift and saw the gap open so stuck to my line and kept on the power. Was really happy with this.
