Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Welcome everyone to Neat Talks. Happy to see everybody. Welcome in. And, uh, we have Nina today and Esmeralda with us. Uh, so that’s a special Neat Talks. Uh, first time [00:01:00] we got two guests at the same time. Uh, they did Daytona 24. So welcome girls. Hello. Hi. Hello. Uh, so let’s start, uh, how was your Daytona 24?

What kind of issues did you experience through this race? Let’s, let’s go. Uh, I think we can start with, uh, with Nina and then Esmeralda, uh, going to tell about her experience as well.

Nina Hahn: Um, yeah, sure, so I did the qualifying, uh, which didn’t go as well as I planned, but like, you know, we qualified P9 in class, which is alright.

Um, but then, um, I dropped the start, and sadly had a spin, uh, at the start, completely like My own fault, but like, I didn’t touch anyone, didn’t touch the wall or whatever, so it was fine. I was just, um, down a couple of seconds off, like, the field. Um, but yeah, from then on, uh, we just kept it clean and, uh, maybe it was also a good thing that we weren’t in the field [00:02:00] because, like, there were, like, some, some issues up ahead that I saw and kind of that kind of stuff.

So, in a 24 hour race, there’s plenty of time to make up time, obviously. So, uh, We just, uh, completely went like, Hey, let’s keep it safe, just, um, without incidents and everything. And, uh, yeah, it was pretty much without incidents for the first, I don’t know, like two hours or something, just a couple of tracks, but nothing really.

And then, um, I already like left the cockpit. And gave it over to Sarah, I believe, at first. And then, uh, it was like between Sarah and Esmeralda for a little bit. And, um, eventually I went to bed, but maybe Esmeralda can talk about her stint a bit more then.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Uh, yeah, well, I have to be honest, I don’t remember very well. So, um, but yeah. I, I took the car, um, from, I think, from my first stint, it was [00:03:00] still without rain. Uh, stint went fine, no major issues, and then, um, in our next stint, It started to rain. Um, so that was, uh, interesting. Just a second. Um, sorry, I got a bit distracted there.

No, it was, um, pretty difficult conditions. And, uh, Sarah Dove, uh, drives, uh, with a, what was it? G29, I think, which makes it difficult to drive in the rain. So I took over. Um, yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Is

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: it your cat again? Sorry.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: It’s fine.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Um, so yeah, um, so I took over from Sarah and didn’t really have any major issues. And then I think Bajska took over.

Nina Hahn: Uh, yeah, that’s like right around the time when, when I then went [00:04:00] to bed. And, uh, obviously, as you mentioned, the first set of rain was very difficult. Very sporty rain and very, um, yeah, changing conditions. So the track was different, uh, every lap. Uh, but we fought our way. Our way back up to eighth place, if I remember correctly, and, uh, yeah, and then like with rain, it was like a bit all over the place, all teams had like different kind of like pit stops when people went on wets, maybe some people still was out and dries and everything, but.

Yeah, we just kept the clean, the car clean for, um, a very long time. And then, uh, yeah, as you said, uh, in the night, uh, Bayezidan, uh, went in and I went to bed because my stint was very early in the night. I think it was like, uh, like 3 a. m. Roughly. Uh, so in the night, um, there were like some, like one or two incidents, I think, [00:05:00] Esmeralda, um, which like lost a little bit of time, but, uh, yeah, it’s fine.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Yeah, Sarah got hit in the back. Oh, right. Yes. I, I don’t know if it was a GTP or, yeah. Oh, SpongeBob.

Nina Hahn: Yeah, it was a SpongeBob livery. Um. And I mean, yeah, it’s just, uh, they just went a bit wide into, uh, the entry of the second horseshoe and then just, you know, on the wet track, very difficult conditions, locked the tires a little bit and just like rear ended us a bit, which wasn’t too bad.

I think it was like six minutes of repair, so. It was all right. And, uh, yeah. Then in the night we had, I think, one contact with the wall of like 15 minutes of repair. And I think Bayecki went off as well. I don’t know if she had any, like, contact with that. Yeah, I think

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: she went straight into a wall once.[00:06:00]

Nina Hahn: Wow. Yeah. And then, and then we had, uh, wait, I actually have like a small recap on the side here. Uh, we went back in, back a couple of positions. I don’t remember. Oh yeah. We were up to sixth at first and went back to eighth because of that. Uh, and then when I got up, uh, it was like me and Beitske, uh, just.

you know, swapping stints. And, uh, we went back down to sixth with, I don’t know, I think like six hours to go or something when you and Sarah, uh, came back online. And, uh, yeah, from that, uh, just further, like trying to keep it clean and everything. And we managed to be in a very comfortable P4 in class. And, uh, with, like, a couple laps to the car behind and a couple laps to the car in front.

So, it was a very, um, stable condition at that stage. And then we just, uh, yeah, did our own race and, uh, kept it out of [00:07:00] the wall and everything. And that’s also where we finished. So, P4. That’s a great result. And, uh, yeah, I think also Esmeralda for you, it was like the highest SOF you ever drove in. Yeah, definitely.

And, uh, you did very well for that. So, uh, yeah, your times were really good. You were pretty consistent and everything. And, uh, yeah, overall great team. Like, uh, I’m looking forward to the next time I get to drive with the three girls and, uh, it was great fun.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. Um, you, you just said that you had some kind of like mixed, uh, conditions in the race.

I think we, uh, we had the same, I’m not sure if, uh, conditions were the same in the all. Uh, but we also had, uh, kind of spotted rain and, uh, it just, you know, started and then ended again, uh, race with Olympus Sport. Uh, this time we been in a GTP car, Ferrari, and, you know, wind up a [00:08:00] P5 and we actually didn’t finish.

So we, uh, we had like four or five hours. So the end of the race, and unfortunately we had to call in the car because, uh, one of the teammates, he just, uh, you know, braked and, uh, went straight to the wall, um, and just broke the whole front of the car. And yeah, unfortunately we’re just like, okay, we, we’re okay.

We P5, uh, like out of 22 cars. So only like four, uh, GTPs survive in the split. That was crazy.

Nina Hahn: That is crazy. Yes.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, you know, definitely. That’s the first Daytona for everybody in a racing where we had different conditions where we had rain first time. Um, would you like to have, uh, to, you know, to drive in the dry or like it was really interesting for you to drive in the rain and this mixed conditions and, um, How was it for you to, like, when you jump into the car and, uh, how was it to get used to, uh, [00:09:00] the conditions and Nina and Esmeralda?

Nina Hahn: I’ll let you go first.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Yeah, it’s fine. Um, so when I jumped in for Sarah, I, like, I hadn’t driven in the rain in that race yet, so I jumped in right in, in the rain. Um, but it actually went quite well. I was really comfortable with the car. So, I think I was really happy with how it went, because, you know, I’m, there’s nothing in that first thing that could have gone better than it did.

Um, unfortunately, in my second stint, um, as we already talked about, that we had some damage, I was on cold tires out in the rain, just got in the car, and, um, yeah, I, like, I completely misjudged the bus stop. Uh, which ended us in the wall. Uh, which was a shame, really. But after that, we picked up the pace again.

And, yeah, it was, like, It was challenging, [00:10:00] but I was also very comfortable, which was great for the circumstances.

Nina Hahn: Uh, yeah, and then, um, when I got back in, also because, like, I drove the very first Sint, and, um, it was obviously dry at that stage, and then I was just, like, around and, like, sporting and that kind of stuff, but I didn’t drive in the wet, uh, in the race until after I slept, and, um, so, yeah, I went out onto a track that had pretty st stable, but like medium rain.

And, uh, then for my second nightstand, uh, it was starting to, like, the rain had stopped just when I got back in the car. And then quite quickly, there was like the dry line really forming up. And, um, I went out. Like already on slicks again, which was, uh, which was fine on the line. But, um, if you ever needed to [00:11:00] like step off the line, then it was still very slippery.

But yeah, we, we managed to just, you know, uh, keep it on track, keep it pointed straight. And, uh, it was very fun. So I really, really enjoyed driving these like changing conditions where you kind of have to like. Judge every, every lap a little bit, like how much grip you have and just not overdoing it, but still trying to be as fast as you can.

And, uh, yeah, that was fun. It was also very rewarding because it was a drying track, so the conditions were getting better and better, and then it was just So rewarding to have like new fastest laps, like every couple of laps. And, um, it, it felt very rewarding driving in those conditions.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s great. Uh, also got questions to Esmeralda.

Was it your first time in LMP2 car or you drove this car before this race?

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: No, I’ve, I’ve, I’ve driven it before. Yeah, got plenty of experience in the [00:12:00] LMP2.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s great. You know, I found it, uh, by myself that LMP2 is a lot easier to drive in rain conditions. Like it’s really fun. Uh, if we’re talking about GDP, it’s really hard sometimes because you just.

speed because you can, uh, gain boost. You’re not breaking that hard with this car. Um, unfortunately I didn’t try Daytona in rain conditions, uh, because, uh, my stint should be like in the morning the next day and, um, the ultimate, uh, who drove, uh, before me crashed the car. So unfortunately I didn’t get into the car in wet conditions.

Um, so. How is it for you to manage the traffic because traffic at Daytona was crazy sometimes, especially on the start of the race when everybody close and you know, GTP is reaching you and you’re reaching in the same time actually the GT freeze. How did you manage to go through this?

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Nina, you should start because you started the race.

Okay, yeah,

Nina Hahn: exactly. Um, [00:13:00] so, uh, since I was down by like five seconds to like the back of the LMPG field quite consistently, you know, I didn’t really lose much time to them at the start, but like, obviously, because of my spin, I was back a bit. Um, and then, I was in this condition or like in this position where I, um, just caught up to the GT3 field for lapping them the first time and right at the same time the GTP field arrived to lap me.

So I had You know, obviously because it’s like the first few laps of the race, the GT3 field was still very tight together and I had to really try to navigate them and get through them. Um, but I also had to yield to the GTPs coming from behind all the time. So in a couple of situations, it was really tight and really difficult to find your place.

And, um. Yeah, just to also predict where the other classes go [00:14:00] and just make it very obvious with your car positioning and your kind of like language that you convey with how you position your car where you want to go to. You know, signal like the slower class that you want to overtake, but also simultaneously to the GDP that you see them that you leave them the space.

And it was tricky and I did lose a bit of time in all of that traffic then. But, um, yeah, at the end it was fine because. Especially for like the first half of the race, it was just very much like, okay, just stay out of incidents, keep the car clean, a race is still going on for so many hours that like a bit of time here or there doesn’t matter.

It’s just important to keep it out of the wall and everything.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, that’s true. Um, I think the main thing, uh, in like endurance races overall in that long races like Daytona 24, just to keep car on the track. And if you like, you know, better to lose a bit more time on the track with the traffic [00:15:00] than end up with a crashing GT3 or something like this.

So, yeah, I think I agree with you with this. And Esmeralda, how was it for you? How did you manage the traffic from your side?

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Um, so as Nina mentioned before, it was my first race in, like, this, uh, SOF. Um, so it was a lot easier than I was used to, um, because most of the time, uh, in lower SOF, it’s just less clean.

And they give you less space. Um, and also in like, I gave lots of space just to not come in contact with anyone, but I gave way too much than that was actually necessary. So, um, it takes a lot getting used to, cause the driving is way more clean than I’m, I am actually used to. And yeah, I, I still have loads to learn.

[00:16:00] Uh, so I’m taking every experience into the next race. And get better and better. It’s

Nina Hahn: also maybe a bit for context, like our, um, so F in the race of the LMP twos was I think 3. 2 K or something. And, um, you like your eye reading is I think like at like 1500 because you just don’t do that. A lot of officials, you know, there’s no shame in that.

And, um, I absolutely know the feeling. Uh, but yeah, it’s definitely that this like SF, you can really. trust the other cars around you to just hold their line. And it’s fine if you just give, like, on your, I don’t know, on your inside, to just have, like, I don’t know, 1. 2 cars of width, just giving them that for, like, a little bit of error, but, like, they will keep your line.

But if you’re not used to that, then you probably give, like, one and a half to two car widths of Space and in the inside, um, but you know, we were spotting for you and we’re trying to [00:17:00] just, um, yeah, uh, make sure that like, hey, um, you’re fine. You can absolutely do it like that. But you can also like be a bit closer people.

Uh, tend to keep their lines and you can trust them at that as well.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, you know, that’s actually really awesome that, uh, Esmeralda had this opportunity to drive with you because, uh, when you, you know, like starting, you’re not doing a lot of officials, you’re not doing, for example, a lot of, uh, endurances and you get into the team where it got, uh, uh, faster at people and who had, uh, who’s got more experience, uh, you definitely, you know, just, you know, the jumping to the next step after such events.

And I think there was a really good, those morale there. What do you think? How was it for you to to drive with like to gain experience from your teammates in this event?

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Yeah, well, we talked about it last time that you interviewed [00:18:00] me, but I then it would be a dream for me to join this team. And then a couple of people made it happen.

Um, I have to thank Nina for this as well, uh, because she, she heard it and she immediately contacted Ceci about it. Um, so yeah, it’s for me, it was really a dream come true and they can learn me so much. Um, so it’s, it’s just overall a great opportunity for me to take steps in, in sim racing. And, uh, obviously I’m not there yet.

I still have lots to learn. I have to get quicker and quicker, but I’m with the right people for that now. So, yeah, I’m looking forward to all the races that we can do together and. I was truly honored to be able to raise this with the three girls.

Nina Hahn: That’s really awesome. It’s also, um, to add to that, maybe a little backstory, we were racing at the Sim Expo, you know, you were [00:19:00] part of that.

And then, um, that’s where I met you for the first time and we got along great and everything. And then the race came on and, um, obviously I looked at like people before and saw like, okay, a 1500 I rating. That’s. You know, not bad, but like, I don’t know what to expect in here and there. Uh, but then you really, really surprised me with your lap times.

You were really quick. You were up there with like, um, really like the fastest of us. And, um, that’s when also like you mentioned that you would love to be part of your dream team. And I was like, yeah, well, you definitely have the pace. And I was like, yeah, well, you’d be a great addition. And you absolutely were, um, very happy to have you on the team for, uh, this race.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, that’s, uh, you know, a little bit tricky thing about iRacing. Yeah, when you’re starting, you, you got like 1500, but you got a really good pace. And, uh, people just like, Oh, you’re just 1. 5k driver. Like, you’re not going to drive fast. Yeah, and [00:20:00] then you’re driving fast. It’s really cool. But I’m pretty sure that Esmeralda going to gain iRacing, like, with no time.

Um, here’s a really interesting question, um, in the chat. It’s a From, uh, from viewers, uh, were there any drummers, uh, drummers, uh, in the pit lane? Uh, you know, I saw one GT3 in our race, just, uh, uh, teammates, uh, that was Matt Loveridge, uh, who’s also in the, uh, Olympus team. And, uh, when he was out, I was, uh, watching his stream and, uh, his teammates, uh, they were going and, uh, you know, here’s the last lap.

Almost, uh, next to the pit lane, uh, the guy who’s driving, and teammates, like, shout, Go to pit lane, go to pit lane, because you almost miss it, and they, they get the spitting in pits, but he got into pit lane, that was, that was really crazy, so, uh, did you have Any, uh, did you have any, uh, experience like this?

Was it pit [00:21:00] lane? Maybe, uh, especially in the wet conditions, maybe, I don’t know, some people missed the, uh, their pit stall, or maybe you had some, uh, funny moments as well?

Nina Hahn: Yeah, I mean,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: by

Nina Hahn: our smiling, you probably can guess that yes, we did have something. Um, so when the first rain hit, uh, we stayed out on dry ice for, um, quite a bit.

And, uh, but then it started raining, like, more. And, um, we were like, okay, um, the lap times are getting significantly slower, so, um, we have to pit for wet. And then Sarah was in the car at the time, and, um, we were just like, you know, okay, like, we have, uh, I don’t know, we had, just had a couple laps left in our stint anyway, so we were like, okay, we just pit, like, two, three laps early.

And then she went on to, like, the apron, and, um, like, you know, normal pit entry, and started turning left, and the car didn’t do [00:22:00] anything. Oh no. And then, you know, she, she held this, and she was in this, like, absolute aqua planning, and was absolutely dead center straight, the car did not move at all, and then she was like, oh, she’s gonna miss pit entry, well, okay, then we just do another lap.

Steered right, nothing happened. And then, and then it’s just like, okay, well, we passed it, like, we have to like, go back onto like, um, we were like, we’re like, the grass already starts at the tri oval. And then, um, kind of tried to make it on track, obviously, without spinning or hitting other cars and getting in the way and stuff.

And we actually had another team, um, message us, like, hey, Um, you’re sliding around, you should pit. And then we just like text a bet, like, yeah, we tried, like we just missed you. We a upon straight . Um, that was kind of funny. And then next lap, um, we just managed, it was just like you had like this really long straight and wide line where [00:23:00] like the water was completely standing.

Mm-hmm . Uh, so you had to really like positively cross. like that puddle to really get grip again and to be able to number one steer and number two slow down. And, uh, yeah, then later in the race, uh, I think it was like around like sunrise or something. Um, we also had one problem where, uh, we had a driver change and I think it was Bitescale.

I don’t remember exactly. But, um, When you do a driver swap, the pit limiter turns off. It’s on before, but like, since you get out of the car, which stops the engine, and then you get back into the car, that deactivates the pit limiter, obviously, and she went out on her first stint, and, um, Suddenly thought to herself like, Hmm, that’s a bit fast for pit lane.

And then Ori was like, Oh, pit limiter and slow down. But like, we already got like the, [00:24:00] um, the drive through penalty for that then. Yeah, it happens. It didn’t lose us any positions or something. That was, uh, during the time when we were already in P4 and just had like a comfortable, yeah, comfortable gap to the cars in front and behind.

So it was fine. It didn’t matter in the end, but, uh, it was kind of funny that, uh, We’re just, uh, driving and then suddenly, oh, that’s a bit fast. And I think, I think that was it for a pit lane, because since we had our echo planning at the start, um, we knew that, okay, pit entry is difficult and just take it easy.

Make sure that you, you know, don’t spin and that you slow down enough and that kind of stuff.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Well, I mean, when, um, Bicycle. tried to clear the penalty, I think, from cutting the track because she slid onto the grass. Uh, she, like, she drove one lap more and then tried to go for pit lane and also failed to get into the pit lane.

Nina Hahn: Oh, that was when I was [00:25:00] sleeping. All right. Yeah. Yeah.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: So she went straight as well.

Nina Hahn: I saw even, uh, like, in the top split, even people did that, so it was, uh, certainly, um, we weren’t the only team who had to struggle with pit entry.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: No, and now I think of it, I, uh, like, you have, on pit exit, you have the little turn.

Um, so I, I braked, uh, for the, that little turn, locked both front wheels and just slid out of the, out of the pit lane onto the track. So that got me a drive thru as well. Yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: But that’s it for pit lane incidents.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Overall, uh, Daytona pit enter is really tricky. I remember how I did, uh, oval race here with next gen cars.

And I think we had really long race, like, um, I know, like 80 laps or something like this. And we were going to, uh, to pit for a [00:26:00] fuel, uh, with a pack of the cars. So I had like, uh, two or three cars, uh, ahead of me. We pitted together. And, uh, one guy, he, uh, in the last moment from outside line, he felt like, okay, I’m going to pit with you.

guys. And, uh, you know, he just not in time. He just crossing my line. I looked up my front wheels and I just, uh, bowling the cars in front of me and we all go into the grass, you know, and then spinning in the pizza. Yeah. Even in, uh, you know, in dry conditions, uh, Daytona is not really easy to Pete’s. And, uh, yeah, as people saying in chat also first up and did it twice.

I, I think I saw that he missed the BitLane on Daytona 24 at this time. So if anything, we’re just as good as

Nina Hahn: F1

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: drivers. Yes, that’s true. Um, stepping back a little bit from the main event, uh, how was, uh, preparing for you? So what did you do? Uh, how you, uh, managed to create the [00:27:00] setup, which is, uh, comfortable for everybody in the team.

That’s the question to both of

Nina Hahn: you. Yeah, so, uh, at first we just, uh, you know, obviously had like some meetings before where like, okay, what is like the rough plan? When is everyone available and here and there? And because like we had the weather forecast as well. And then, uh, uh, it was really nice because, uh, pretty much everyone was available whenever it was the easiest planning I’ve done ever for an endurance race.

And, um, Yeah, and then we just started, uh, doing some labs. We looked at, like, we all have, like, the same conditions, kind of, roughly, and then, uh, had, I think, four different setup shops, uh, like, setups from different setup shops, and we’re just, uh, trying all of them out, see, okay, um, which one do we like best, which one is fast, and then we found one that everyone was, like, already pretty comfortable with, and then [00:28:00] Yeah, just, uh, changed, like, some, some slight things on it.

Uh, we didn’t change it a lot, but, uh, what did we change? We changed, like, um, the diff a little bit, um, just for, you know, it being more stable and secure. And then also, like, I think the third spring and the heave spring, uh, just for control in the bus stop, basically, because, uh, Again, we didn’t want to go for like absolute speed.

We wanted to go for consistency and definitely controllability. And yeah, once we had that, then we just, uh, drove in different conditions, um, made sure that the setup also works in the wet, for example, which is obviously very important. And uh, yeah, had a couple of very nice training sessions together. It was nice.

And, uh, Yeah, try to get everyone’s input and, uh, find something that fits everyone.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: [00:29:00] That’s awesome.

Nina Hahn: Maybe you can also, uh, add to that, Esmeralda, how it felt for you. I don’t know how much, how much like practice for endurance, endurance events you had before. Can’t speak.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Uh, yeah, I mean,

it depends. On Daytona, I had quite a lot of experience because I’ve been doing the 24 hour event. I think this is my fourth time doing it. Um. So, yeah, but obviously with the new tire update, the car is completely different. Um, and then I practiced more for this one, I think. Uh, because, you know, I wanted to be quick enough.

Um, and well, yeah, setup wise, I just left it to you guys. Because, you know, I’m not that great with setups, I’ll be completely honest about that, I’m clueless. Um, so yeah, I tried the different setups, and they all felt [00:30:00] okay, this one felt, for me, as the best one. And thankfully for everyone, so yeah, it was, I mean, yeah.

Not too

Nina Hahn: much to add, sorry. Yeah, that’s fine. Also like, like I, for example, was I think the only one who preferred a different setup initially. But I also mainly drive the F4 usually, which is kind of like happy on the rear axle. So I’m, I’m really used to a car that is very like loose or like oversteering that kind of thing.

And, um, but then it was also like, uh, okay, I’m fine with driving. Different, like, driving style. I had to change, like, my pedal input slightly for that to, uh, get back to the pace, but, uh, it was definitely fine, and I was happy to, yeah, change my little part for the team effort so that everyone’s comfortable with the setup.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, also, you know, just, uh, let everybody choose the set and decide what to do with it. Uh, so [00:31:00] just like guys, you just share a set with me. I’m going to get used to it. So I don’t really care about setups because I usually drive, you know, Porsche Cops series, for example, and I’m driving the open set where a car, uh, more loose and I’m driving the.

Fix it said, uh, where a car a bit more in the series. So just, uh, kind of adopt my driving to it. And, um, it’s usually for me, uh, really easy to drive and endurance is because I’m like, I’m, I’m going to be okay with whatever said you’re driving. So, uh, because you know, some people just prefer a little bit more in the Syria because it’s a little bit more safe kind of, so if they feel okay with this, I’m like, all right, let’s go for it.

So, uh, what plans do you have with Dream Team, uh, for this year? So maybe some more special events and, uh, so what, what is your plans for the future?

Nina Hahn: Um, I don’t know [00:32:00] the exact, um, events by heart, uh, that you guys, uh, wanted to do, especially like Sarah and Esmeralda. Uh, Because, like, I have to, like, see a little bit how many, like, what weekends I’m free next year, because I will probably spend, like, uh, some weekends at the Nordschleife, uh, yeah, I’m gonna update on that, like, as soon as that’s more, like, ready and stuff, but, uh, I will probably spend, uh, quite some weekends where I’m not available, also the, um, IVRA, Season, like, continues in February, in about a month.

So, um, that’s also when I have, like, my weekends, where I do, like, race control, and where I’m just, like, occupied with other stuff. So, uh, but there are a couple races. That we definitely can do together and, um, for the others, especially if it’s like a shorter one, like a four hour or six hour, [00:33:00] um, we don’t need like four drivers for that, you know, so it’s absolutely fine if, um, Sarah and Esmeralda do it, like, maybe just the two of them, or maybe also ByteSkid can join them for, like, something.

It just depends, like, when we have time. But Esmeralda, if you know exactly, like, what races you want to do. Well, I

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: know

Nina Hahn: that.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: The three of us all filled in Sebring, so that’s the first one that we’re gonna do. I don’t think Bice will be there, but I’d have to confirm. Um, so that’s the first thing that we’re gonna do as a team.

That will be Sebring, the 12 hours of Sebring. And then I wouldn’t know about the rest of the calendar. I’m trying to get everyone to drive Spa, but I’m the only one that wants to.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Why don’t you want to drive Spa, Nina?

Nina Hahn: Um, well, it’s, [00:34:00] it’s more that I don’t really enjoy GT3s that much. That’s more the thing. Um, it’s just, uh, I don’t know, uh, the car in iRacing, I’m just not. that well connected to the road in them. Uh, it’s hard to describe a little bit, but, um, for the limited time that I’ve spent in ACC, for example, it just felt more natural to me there, how the GT3s drive.

Um, but yeah, it’s definitely something that, I can get used to. So, uh, I’ll just have to see again if, if I’m free that weekend and that kind of stuff. And, uh, maybe it’s also just a nice challenge to drive something that I’m not that comfortable with and just, you know, see how it goes and maybe see that as like a little bit more of a, of a challenge to really like, um, I don’t think I’m that great in that car, but let’s still try to be fast.

So.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, that maybe can be a good [00:35:00] challenge for you. Also, a funny thing that you just said about ACC and it’s a completely opposite for me. So I just, I can’t drive GT3s in ACC. I’m really comfortable with them when they’re racing. So yeah, it’s really funny. So you said that you prefer more prototypes.

Yeah, GT3 is a little bit different. I also, you know, prefer more Porsche Cup over the GT3s, but for SPA24, yeah, I’ll be happy to drive this event because it’s, we got a new version of SPA also. It’s going to be really fun to drive here. I think it’s, it will be great. Um, speaking about Sebring 12 hours, are you planning to use the LMP2 again?

Or maybe give it a try to GTP cars or something like this?

Nina Hahn: Well, for me, I love the LMP2. It’s my second favorite car in iRacing, the first one just being the F4, my baby. And, um, I love the LMP2 as well, though. [00:36:00] Uh, but yeah, uh, GTP might be a thing. The reason why we didn’t go for that, um, this race was because you have a lot more setup options and Also like in car settings, you know, stuff that, um, you have to be aware of and have to know how to use it.

Like the whole hybrid system and then like the in car ABR, um, anti roll bar changes that you can do and that kind of stuff. Uh, so it’s definitely cool and interesting. Uh, it’s just, uh, quite a bit more complex. So, um, in my opinion, we just would need a bit more of preparation time. And that’s basically what it comes down to.

Uh, How much like preparing we have, uh, I wouldn’t mind driving GTPs again, as I said, like GT3, I’d rather not, and LMP2 is just something that I can quite easily jump into and be reasonably quick with, uh, rather quickly.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Awesome. Uh, Ms. Muraldo, what do you think about this? Would you [00:37:00] like to drive GTPs?

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Well, we considered the idea and I think Nina might have forgotten, but we talked about it for like 10 seconds, I think.

And Sarah also agreed that we just do it in the LMP2, because the GTPs are, at this time, it’s just too much work. Um, but I’m definitely interested in doing some events with the GTP, but also I have maybe 10 labs in a GTP. I own one, but Like, in, in iRacing, before you faint behind me in real life, I want. Um, but I, I have driven ten laps, maybe, so, I mean, I first have to get a lot of practice in, and then see if it’s really as fun as it sounds.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, I found it for myself. So that was my second Daytona 24 with a GTP car. First one I did was a TRS Esports and we did with BMW. There was only one [00:38:00] GTP this time and uh, Beams Audio was a little bit understeering for me and we drove Ferrari this time. It was a really good balanced car, so I really like it.

And in my opinion, it’s, uh, you know, not that complicated as LMP1, uh, which, which we had, uh, were, uh, before. And I think you should give it a try. If you’re going to have, like, you know, more time for preparation, I think you can handle this car pretty well if you’re driving LMP2 in a nice way. So they’re really close with how you’re driving them on the track.

So yeah, I think it’s worth a try.

Nina Hahn: Yeah, definitely. Like, trying, definitely. One more thing I also just thought of in this conversation was, I do enjoy Being in the middle class in endurance races or at least not the fastest or the slowest because then you just have You have like cars to overtake of other classes, [00:39:00] but you also get this like hey you have faster cars approaching you have to you know See how to deal with faster traffic, and I just enjoy that that you have like you know both sides of the Yeah,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: that’s interesting.

Um, because when you’re in middle class, uh, yeah, you, you just let go of someone and you’re overtaking the GT3 class. If you’re in GT3 class, you just let go everybody all the time. It’s, it can be a little bit annoying sometimes. In GTPs, you’re just, uh, driving and praying like, uh, I hope I’m not going to kill anyone like GD3 or LMP2, so yeah.

So yeah, as a faster

Nina Hahn: class, it’s always like, I hope they see me. And then, um, obviously, like, you know, you expect the slower classes to just keep their racing line. And then, um, not to somehow like jump out of your way in the last second, because That’s when you also change your lane to overtake them and then two cars, [00:40:00] two cars going for the same piece of tarmac is usually not a good combination.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, you know, funny thing that a couple of times I almost crash GT3s because in the last moment, so you just predicting that they will go and follow their racing line. And then last moment, they’re like, Oh, I should let go of this GTP and they like switching the line to the opposite side. I’m like, Oh, no.

That was, uh, really, um, you know, really scary to crash the GT3 because every time you, like, uh, crashing them, they’re so angry because they’re like, oh, that’s GTP again, that’s prototypes.

Nina Hahn: Yeah, like I always like for, um, endurance races or like multi class races, um, what I like to do is to, um, I don’t know, often a streamer or like somebody look at like a couple laps of other classes.

So I know, um, what like their normal laps look like. And, um, [00:41:00] also maybe where they are grip limited because maybe one, one of the corner is very understeer for a GT3. So, um, that way, if I’m in a faster class, I know that probably on the exit of this, where they are understeer. I shouldn’t overtake on the outside, but I should rather just cut back and overtake on the inside because they’re grip limited anyway.

So, um, I try to just, uh, preactive, preactively, proactively, uh, try to avoid like being in difficult situations for both of the cars.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: That’s really good advice. I think for people who’s thinking about endurance races. Uh, so for myself, uh, what I did, I tried to drive in GT3s and then in prototypes on the same track.

So you, uh, kind of see then, uh, where, where to expect, uh, LMPs in coming, uh, being GT3 class. And, uh, as a prototype, you like already know that you. Can’t overtake here, uh, because you’re [00:42:00] already so, uh, being in GT3, uh, where LMP is, uh, incoming for you. So, yeah, I think that’s a good thing. Also that you can watch maybe replay instead of jumping to the car.

Maybe you’re going to need more time to adapt to race it. Uh, so just. Jump into replay and just see where, uh, people overtaken most of the time and where, uh, as you said, GT3s, uh, have had, like, more understeer or something like this. And I think that’s a good thing. Um, so we got, uh, I said, of course, uh, Evo, which just, uh, came out to early access and, uh, you just said that you tried it on SimRacing Xbox.

Can you give me some, uh, like emotions, which you had, uh, your feedback about it. Do you like it? That’s a question to Nina and Esmeralda. Not sure if Esmeralda, uh, tried it, uh, but yeah, I’m really curious about this. [00:43:00]

Nina Hahn: Um, me or you? I mean, you go

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: first.

Nina Hahn: Uh, so yeah, we, like, first off, we both tried it, um, we, since we had, like, an exhibitor pass for the CIM Expo, it was really nice because we could just, uh, on the evening of, like, the second to last, uh, day, we just went over to the stand that had AC Evo on, and we’re like, hey, Nice We’re working on this and that stand and would it be possible tomorrow morning?

Um, because we had an hour before it officially opens. Um, if maybe like tomorrow morning we can already try it before people come in because obviously we were there for, like, to work. So, uh, we didn’t really get much time to walk around all of the stands. And, uh, but yeah, it was nice because, uh, just before, like, it opened for everyone, we just Um, could try it for a little and, uh, didn’t have to wait in line forever and, uh, yeah.[00:44:00]

So, uh, I don’t know how much has changed since then because, uh, since it came out, I had Daytona to do and then, uh, also this week some other stuff. So I haven’t played it on my own rig, uh, yet. But from what it felt like on the SimExpo, it was really a nice, uh, how do you say? It’s not as much like a sim. As I racing, for example, but it’s also way more advanced than just like an arcade or something.

It’s a it’s a really good blend, in my opinion, of a realistic feeling car, but also it’s approachable for new people who. Want to get into this but, um, want something that’s just more than, like, Forza or Gran Turismo. Uh, to be fair, I haven’t driven Gran Turismo, so, but like, from what it looks like, it seems a bit more on the arcade side.

Uh, but yeah, uh, it felt nice. It really felt, uh, like, the feedback that I [00:45:00] was getting from the car felt, uh, As I said, not entirely real, but definitely predictable, and kind of like what I would expect from a car. So Yeah, I think, um, when they bring out the full game and everything, uh, it’s probably gonna be, uh, a really nice game to just spend some time on.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Mm hmm. So what about you, Esmeralda?

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Well, it’s, um, not too much to add, I think. Um, so the last time I did a set of Corsair, it’s been a while, especially when I was at the Expo, it had been a while. Um, so it feels very different compared to iRacing. Um, for me personally, I prefer the way iRacing handles GT three.

Um, but I think it felt pretty good. It’s, it’s just weird, like the, the thing, the car slides so [00:46:00] much and I’m trying to make sense of the feedback I was getting, but I couldn’t really make sense of it. But I think that’s just because for me, it’s been so long since I did ACC, uh, and I’ve completely gotten used to iRacing.

So, like, I don’t have an opinion on it yet. I don’t know if I’m gonna get it because iRacing is my sole focus right now. Um, but yeah, it’s still an early access. There’s still a lot that can change and I’ve heard it was open world as well, which sounds awesome. But also, I think Nina is right, that it’s a blend between arcade and sim racing.

Nina Hahn: Yeah, maybe. Oh, sorry. No, go ahead. Um, maybe to add a little bit to it, again, it’s, um, iRacing is usually quite good on, like, race tires. Uh, so, from the, um, like, from the little bit of, like, race cars that I’ve driven in real life as well, um, That’s how I [00:47:00] always compare my stuff to, like, when I drive iRacing, and that feels very natural, especially in, like, formula cars or something.

Um, and Seta Corsa and also AC Evo, uh, I think what they do quite well is simulate, like, street tires on a circuit, where, um, you just don’t have this, like, absolute, like, Peak performance of a tire or something, but you have a tire that just, um, that’s more like a street tire, you know, you have way more of like a gradual loss of friction and like grip and race tires are usually you have way more grip, but once the grip is gone, it’s also like, uh, it’s way.

you have way more or way less margin from grip to no grip, whereas street tire is more like a bit more gradual from like peak grip to you’re absolutely like under steering or something.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, what combo did you try? Like car and trek? Uh, do you try like different or there was the only one [00:48:00] combo for everybody?

Nina Hahn: No, we tried, uh, or like, I tried some, I think it was a Porsche Cup at, or Porsche GT three at Ola. And uh, another one was like, I think it was like an alpine at. Was it Brands Hatch or something? I don’t, I don’t quite remember, uh, but definitely like some Porsche at, uh, Imola. Mm hmm. Uh, what about I, I wouldn’t know.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: I, I can’t remember. Uh, I don’t even know the track. But I think it was, I don’t think it was Imola. I can’t remember.

Nina Hahn: I’ve certainly driven Imola. Like there were a couple of different, um, things to try. I don’t know if you tried like the same stuff as I do, because on the Semiaxplorer it was like pre configured.

Like you had a choice of like three or four different combinations. And then it was like Porsche Cup at Imola and the next one was like [00:49:00] Alpine in the wet at this and that track and then you had Oh, I don’t know, BMW 1 Series at this and that or something.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: So I drove in the wet. I know that for sure.

Nina Hahn: I don’t know exactly like the combinations anymore, but like it was something like that.

You just had to pick one of the combinations. And, uh, I tried two of those combinations. I don’t know if you Like switched over as well, but, uh, it’s, it’s been a while since, so like, don’t worry if you don’t remember.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, so I tried it on Early Access, uh, like a couple of days ago on my own rig, uh, with my, uh, Direct Drive T818.

It felt really good, so you saying that it’s like, uh, something between Arcade and Simulator, I would say that, like, For now, for me, it feels like, uh, more like iRacing. So, uh, it’s really close with, uh, Helm Breakin So I decided to, uh, go with Porsche Cup at Laguna Seca because I did it recently in iRacing, not a long time ago.[00:50:00]

And It felt really good, uh, in, in terms that we had some kind of, uh, so base set up in AC Evo, uh, it felt, uh, almost the same as in a racing, uh, in terms of, uh, how I’m breaking, uh, what, uh, force I’m implying to the brake pedal and, uh, overall how car feels on the track. It was great. Uh, can’t tell anything about street cars, so we tried a few cars like Ford Escort and, uh.

I think Alfa Romeo Giulia, um, and I tried also BMW M2, which we got in a racing, uh, in rookie class right now. And it felt also really close to what we got in the racing. And it was really cool to see that on low settings and graphics and everything, uh, it looks decent. So I think. That, uh, AC Evo going to be a good entry point for, uh, some people, uh, especially that it’s, uh, you know, more open to everybody.

[00:51:00] Like, uh, as you said, uh, here’s, uh, some, uh, some cars with a street tires and maybe some people, uh, can be interested in them, uh, because they driving their own cars on the racing tracks and, uh, you know, just would like to drive, uh, their cars in, in the seam as well. And so yeah, I think that’s going to be a great addition and for now just feel like it’s closer to our racing than to ACC, which is I’m happy with.

And, uh, yes, performance, not the best, uh, in terms of FPS, but I’m pretty sure they’re going to, um. Like improve it after some time, uh, and it should be a really interesting, um, addition to our sim racing world.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Yeah, it sounds like, oh, sorry. It sounds like it changed quite a bit since that we tried it. Um, so in that regard, obviously we, when was it?

I think

Nina Hahn: [00:52:00] October? Yeah, it was like in October. And, um, so like I think mid of October. And also what I wanted to add, uh, keep in mind that we, at the SimExpo, we just tried it with some rig that was set up like somehow, and we didn’t spend that much time on it. And, um, and also when I, when I said it’s like between Sim and Arcade.

Uh, to be fair, I’m comparing it to iRacing, which I find usually quite realistic, and, like, Gran Turismo 7, uh, which is also, like, pretty realistic, uh, but, you know, like, more on the arcade side, so it’s definitely more on the iRacing side, um, and, like, it’s definitely nowhere in the terms of, like, arcade, like, Need for Speed.

That’s not what I meant when I said arcade, just to, like, clarify. It’s definitely Uh, close to a simulator and, um, yeah, from what we drove, um, I bet they have improved a lot since then.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, so, uh, maybe I said, of course, uh, EO will [00:53:00] be, uh, I said, of course, which I’m going to drive and, uh, like with community, maybe if we’re going to have some kind of events here, um, like maybe championships, I’ll be, uh, happy to drive it because I really like it from the first try.

Uh, yes, it’s, it’s, uh, completely different as you said, uh, to trying, uh, the new simulator on your own rig because you got your own settings. Uh, like I’m aware that I have to turn off the, you know, all this effects like spring on all the stuff, uh, they can be, uh, on, on events, uh, because just, uh, I don’t know, guys just, uh, set up, uh, like the, something base for everybody, um, so yeah, just, uh, highly recommend to everybody to try it on their own rigs, I think, uh, you’re going to like it, and, uh, open world is really interesting and, uh, not sure how it’s, uh, going to be in the game, um, but, uh, I’m so excited to see it, uh, in the future.

All right. And, uh, we’d like to [00:54:00] ask, uh, about what is your own plans, Nina and Esmeralda? So outside of the Dream Team, what, what’s your plans for 2025, like in a racing or in other simulators as well?

Nina Hahn: Um, yeah, for me, it’s, uh, I definitely want to do some, uh, events with Olympus again, since, uh, I have, like, lately I really haven’t, uh, driven a lot with the team, uh, which I, you know, I want to spend time with them again, because I’m also way more active again on the Discord, and, uh, I just miss driving with the guys, and, uh, yeah, it’s always, uh, And, uh, so like probably the 24 hours of Nordschleife is something that I’m going to do with them again.

But I’ll, I’ll see how availability is and here and there. And, uh, so who knows, maybe I’m also doing it with Dream Team. It’s certainly a race that I want to do. And, uh, [00:55:00] yeah, apart from that, there are just a couple of different, uh, things on iRacing that I want to Uh, be part of like some events from other organizations or companies that I want to just give a go and just see how well I compare against people who do that.

And yeah, and also, uh, outside of like sim racing itself, as I said, I’m probably going to spend a couple of weekends, uh, in the next season at like a track in real life and, uh, not necessarily as driving, but. We’ll, we’ll see. We’ll get to that one once that’s there. And, uh, yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: All right. Uh, what about you, Esmeralda?

What’s your plans in sim racing? Maybe in your real life as well. So what, what’s your planning for 2025?

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: In real life, um, like racing related, I’m not planning anything at all. Um, Yeah, my focus right now is on sim [00:56:00] racing. Um, and then yeah, I haven’t figured out yet what exactly I’m going to do, but we’ve got, um, buffers coming up, which I’m not sure if I’m going to, but I might do it with my own team.

And then for all the special events that we’re not doing with the dream team, I might do it with my own team. And then we’ve also got some other, uh, endurance races coming up. that are not part of the special events that I might do with my own team. And, yeah, it’s not anything exciting, but, you know, there are plans outside of the Dream Team.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, I hope you’re going to enjoy some races with Dream Team. Uh, from my side, I will do some events with Olympus Esports, uh, that definitely will be, uh, special events like Sebring 12 Hours and, like, Spot 24. Uh, some other events as well. Um, And I think we’re going to continue the [00:57:00] championship in the EVRA club sport.

Um, so probably I’m going to do a couple of rounds in it. I’m so excited about this to drive Porsche Cup once again. Um, here’s a, another one question from the chat. It’s really interesting, I think. Um, so as we’ve been talking about AC Evo, uh, so people asking, uh, Where can you place the ACC, like, uh, where it stands between iRacing and AC Evo, uh, or, like, other simulators, uh, GT7?

So, for me, I think ACC is, uh, completely different, in my opinion, uh, than iRacing, like, uh, it feels a bit Weird for me when I’m trying to drive the GT3s in ACC. I don’t know why, uh, but I found it really hard to, you know, um, just transfer my driving skills, my knowledge and everything from my racing to ACC.

So usually I’m struggling, uh, quite a lot with brakes, uh, compared to our racing. You have to really push [00:58:00] brakes hard and, you know, it took. long time to get used to it. So how is it for you, Nina? How do you feel in ACC after racing?

Nina Hahn: Yeah, so like, I don’t have that much experience in ACC. I have like, 100 hours or something.

And like, 80 of them is like, What I spend, like, continuously, like, really trying to get, like, good laps in here and there. So, um, it’s, it’s very different how you have to use your pedals. So, it’s very difficult to, like, just simply switch between them. I had to really, like, re learn, uh, how to use the brake, just as you said.

Uh, and then it took me, like, I don’t know, probably like really like 10 or 20 hours to like properly figure it out. And then I had the same issue going back to iRacing again. So, uh, also like the feedback you get through the [00:59:00] wheel is quite different, because iRacing only gives you the forces that, um, you have like in a real steering column, whereas, uh, ACC also gives you, I think, some chassis feedback and that kind of thing.

Uh, You know, which is, it’s just a bit of a different approach, uh, it’s, um, from what I felt, is that, uh, on ACC, I can understand way more what the tire is doing, in terms of like slip angle, and also how the assist systems work, so like, uh, traction control and ABS. And then iRacing, uh, especially like GT3s, just feel a bit disconnected to me, but I’m also, again, I’m not that good on GT3s anyway, uh, so, who am I to judge?

But, um, yeah, so, uh, it’s, it’s just a bit of a different approach,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: um. [01:00:00] Yeah, Esmerelda, what do you think about ACC? If you tried it, I’m not really sure in this.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Oh no. Yeah, I, I think 500 hours in a CC ’cause, um, mm-hmm. I used to do the more female racers, uh, series. Um, I think it’s really difficult to give feedback, uh, ’cause in a CC I’m a lot slower than I am at iRacing.

Um, a lot’s got to do with the braking, which I never really figured out in a CCI, I dunno why it’s just. Um, because you know, I can definitely trailbrake and in iRacing it’s all fine. But in ACC it’s the breaking zone where I lose out every single time. And I’ve looked at telemetry. A whole lot of times, but to, you know, get it right every time, it’s just so difficult.

Well, in [01:01:00] iRacing, for me, it comes naturally. Um, and then there’s the sliding. In ACC, I am sliding everywhere. The rear is just wiggling the whole lap. And, you know, I’m trying to go on onto the throttle as soon as I think I can, but it’s just every time it’s too soon, and I go sliding again. So. I can definitely drive an ACC and I’m maybe reasonably quick or just slow.

I’m not really quick, at least. So yeah, um, and where I put it between AC Evo and iRacing, it depends. If, if what you said is all correct, then ACC is definitely at the bottom. But as I tried ACEvo, it kind of felt the same as ACC with the sliding and stuff. So, yeah. With what you [01:02:00] said, with the changes, then I’d probably say Gran Turismo 7, and then ACC, and then AC Evo, and then iRacing.

And then iRacing would be the most realistic.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, as you said, I think I’m with you in this, so you said like, driving and racing, um, just Coming naturally, uh, compared to ACC. So ACC feels a bit weird for me. It was breaking with everything. So it’s really hard. Excuse me. Um, so yeah, uh, girls, it was really fun to speak with you.

That’s the first time we had any talks with two guests. It was really fun. Thank you so much for being here and I wish you good luck for 2025 with racing events, with everything. And, uh, I hope it will be good for us, uh, less crashes, uh, more podiums and, uh, fun racing. Thank you so much. [01:03:00] Yeah, same to you.

Thank you.

Esmeralda Beemsterboer: Thank you for
