Elz Indriani: Hey everyone, hello! Hi Sophie! Hi Yvonne! Hi everyone! Welcome to Initalks with Love46. [00:01:00] Hello! Hi Liv! Oh yeah, I have this. Cup also. Coffee. Hi!

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. Hi everyone. Welcome.

Elz Indriani: Oh my god. Finally. Finally it’s happening guys. So I’ve been wanting to interview her for a long time and now the day has come. Oh my god. I’m so happy.

We had, we had some chat before we started streaming right now. Like during that opening, opening scene, we have like, we were like having a chat about iRacing and stuff. Oh my god. Hi Liu. How are you doing today? How’s everything? How’s life and everything?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, doing really well. Thank you so much for this interview, for this opportunity to be on the stream.

I’m so happy to talk about simracing, racing, and yeah, and everything with you. Yeah,

Elz Indriani: oh my god. I was, I was having a little chat with her and I feel like I’m learning already. So I’m so excited to have more a deep talk about simracing and Some stuff with [00:02:00] Love46. Hey, by the way, Sophie, Yvonne, if you have questions, feel free to drop it in the chat for Love46.

Alright, so, Liu, so, um, you are, you’re starting from Real Racing before you got into SimRacing, right? If I’m not mistaken.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, that’s right. I started when I was nine years old from karting. Then I won four times championship of Kazakhstan. Uh, then hopefully we had the circumstances which, uh, give me opportunity to get into open wheelers.

And, uh, I spent two seasons. Uh, in open, open, open wheelers, there was a formal masters, uh, Asia cup series in, uh, Malaysia. Um, and yeah, then I took a part in W series selection event in 2019. And then I did, uh, formal four in 2019 as well. Uh, there was formal four South Asia. Uh, we race two rounds at [00:03:00] Spank.

Um, unfortunately in 2015, when I finished, uh, Formal master. So finish a P4 in championship, uh, with, uh, some podiums. Um, unfortunate Sonoma to sports. That’s my team who sponsored me and supported me in my way in racing. Uh, they decided to shut down, uh, the racing program in Kazakhstan. Uh, so yeah, that’s the reason why I just stopped racing.

Um, so yeah, this, this is how it happened. Um, so grateful that I had this, uh, in real life experience and, Uh, met a lot of, uh, nice people also, and, uh, some people, uh, helped me to get into sim racing. So yeah,

Elz Indriani: so then when, when, when was your, like, when was the time when you’re like deciding to, okay, I’m sim racing.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, that happened by, I think, by [00:04:00] accident, so I, uh, so I’m from, yeah, I’m from, from Elmwood.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, so how was it, like?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, I just, uh, so I was living in Almaty in Kazakhstan, uh, then I moved to Moscow, uh, because, uh, people suggest me to work here as a coach, uh, racing coach on the, on the racing track. Um, and, uh, then one of my friends, uh, just suggest me to go to some racing club, uh, to have fun in sim.

And um, I just said like, yeah, let’s go. Why not? Uh, so, and then after some months, uh, I started to work with them as a coach, uh, as a manager of, uh, this location. Uh, started to get into simulators deeply. Uh, had I think one moment with, uh, sim racing before that. So I was practicing the track, which I, uh, had to, I see, had to.[00:05:00]

Had to race, yeah. So my first simulator was race 07. Um, I practiced track for the formula race. And, uh, yeah, and then, uh, fully diving deep into SimRacing 2017. So, I was working as a coach on this simulacation. We had, uh, Seto Corsa, uh, with, uh, motion platforms, with, uh, DD wheels. And, uh, so we had everything.

And also, I raced on Dirt Rally. Oh,

Elz Indriani: what? In Dirt Rally?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah. Yeah.

Elz Indriani: Okay. And then? Okay. So, yeah, casting up my microphone in the meantime, by the way. All right. . I’m a pro streamer at this point. Wait, guys is better. Oh. Oh, good. . Is it better now? Hi, Nina. Nina. Hi. Welcome. Welcome in. Oh my God, Nina. Hi, Nina. Mac. Hi Sophie.

Oh my God, guys. [00:06:00] So a bit better. I think this is like the maximum. Yes, okay. Okay, if it works, it works kids. Okay, so I don’t know why because I just got back from Dallas So basically this setup has been like yeah I don’t know and by far when I was like like testing it before it was fine. But Yeah, okay, well, it works now.

So, by the way, hello everyone. Hello Nina, hello guys. Welcome to Init Talks with Love46. So, we were having a chat with Liu at this moment, at this moment, not like at this point, at this moment, like, about how did she get into simracing, and also, like, her story. Experience racing in real life. And that was like really cool because, Oh, I know the track by the way, Sepang, because it was like pretty close from where I live.

But then like, I live in Indonesia and Malaysia and Indonesia is like very, very close. So yeah, I heard a lot about that track and I wish I knew you back then so I can fly and [00:07:00] actually watch you racing. How is it like racing in real life? Like, yeah, you feel the G force, right? Like you feel, you feel like more details than when you’re like, Raising in the same, of course, right?

Or, is it like, close enough, like

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Um, for me, it’s close enough. You, so you, you, you’re not having this, uh, G forces. Yeah. Uh, in some racing, but overall, uh, the, like the excitement and, um, how you focus on racing and, uh, how you close to your opponents on track. So that’s the same. And I think. That’s my opinion, uh, but, um, I think that sim racing more competitive than some in real life series.

So of course I’m not talking about like maybe super cop, uh, or formal one or super, super eight. Yeah. Or something like that. I know that this series is really competitive, but when I race, uh, Asia cup series or formal [00:08:00] four, uh, we didn’t have, um, you know, that really close battles, which I’m getting. So you just jump into a daily race and you get in, uh, really competitive, uh, people around you.

That’s really cool.

Elz Indriani: Um,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: so yeah, I, I just. So you, that’s a, I was using raise your seven. That’s really old, uh, seam, which is, uh, basically as I remember a factor, not, not second, that’s a first or factor. Um, uh, then I did some, I said, of course, so I didn’t know about, uh, I racing at all, so I just, uh, worked in a sim racing center, then moved to the different, uh, sim racing company.

Uh, and here. Uh, we had a guy who had, I think he, he’s got like 5k iRacing or something like that. So he was [00:09:00] really into, uh, GT3, Blimp R series. Uh, so he, yeah, he tried to get into, uh, the pro series. Uh, these days there was 2012, something like that. Uh, so he first time showed me iRacing, but Uh, I was not really excited about it.

I don’t know why. So maybe I just, uh, wasn’t that, uh, um, you know, we wasn’t exciting about some racing, uh, so it was, uh, busy with some other stuff. Um, yeah. And then when I met Vlad, uh, this is my husband, uh, he also, uh, come to work in the, into this company. So we met, uh, met each other here and, uh, he just showed me a racing.

And I remember he. He put me, so, like, let’s, let’s get a count in iRacing and you, you’re going to RaceMix 5 today because it’s Summit Point, that’s a great track.

Elz Indriani: Oh my god, so basically Flat [00:10:00] was the one who introduced you to iRacing.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yes, he, he really, like, put me into a simulator with iRacing and, um, Just show me everything.

He showed me also all those real likes. So I did some street stock races at Charlotte So yeah, that’s how I get into iRacing that happened because of him and into streaming That that’s also because of him and we’re working on this on our channel Love heuristics channel together So, yeah, yeah, it’s really fun

Elz Indriani: Yeah, you guys like working together like you’re so basically flat is pretty much like coaching you sometimes or Yeah, how did you like learn or get better in in iRacing?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, he teach me a lot of stuff. Also, as this friend who tried to show me a racing, he also tried to get into Blimpo [00:11:00] Pro Series. Unfortunately, these days, they had like team, team racing to get into Pro Series. So sometimes he had issues with his teammate. That’s, I think that’s the reason why they didn’t get, uh, into the series.

So either way, they’ll be in the pro racing series and race GT freeze. Yeah, that’ll be a really cool. Um, so yeah, he, he just, uh, teach me a lot of stuff in streaming, uh, how to set up everything, uh, how to set up iRacing, um, how to, you know, Like fight better with people on track. Um, because no matter that I, I had my in real life experience, that’s.

Not really, uh, big experience, which I get, uh, because we were really, really limited with the financial side and everything. So I just didn’t get a lot of time on track, a lot of races as [00:12:00] some other people, like if we, uh, go into look at, at Max first up and he did a lot of in real life races, like four more free.

And, uh, he just. Spend all his life on the track. So I didn’t do in this way. Um, so yeah, and I think that during this four years of streaming and, uh, of racing in iRacing, I, Learn a lot, uh, like I’m better on track, I’m, I understand better how to, uh, fight with people, how to improve my lap times and everything, yeah.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, so basically like sim racing is giving you like unlimited sit time, unlimited experience you can get. Because yeah, it’s, it’s not like, even Max Verstappen like, yeah, he race a lot in real life, but he’s not doing it like full. Yeah. 12 hours a day or something like that. Meanwhile in simulator, we can like keep on practicing, keep on improving and Yeah, [00:13:00] I think that’s how I see it.

Like sim racing is giving you like accessibility to to well to improve yourself in racing in terms of getting faster or also like practicing your racecraft and Yeah, gaining experience of many tracks basically Because you don’t need to fly to Australia to learn butter. You know what I mean? Like you can just stay at home and actually like practicing it or you know

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, that’s the main thing.

So If you raise a new series and you didn’t have opportunity to Just go for it practice. Yeah, because it’s so far away and it’s expensive. So you just jump into the sim Uh learning the track here at least when you arrive for for the real practice you’re going to You Going to know the track and all you need just to adapt to the car and adapt your driving to the track Which you got for practice.

So yeah sim racing [00:14:00] just incredible and nice tool for racing drivers and really fun thing overall

Elz Indriani: Right. Yeah, I don’t know why, Sofie. So basically this is like the maximum of my microphone that I can get right now. I gotta check it, but yeah, it’s right behind my setup. I will try to speak louder then, I will try to speak louder then.

By the way, Bickel is here. Oh my god, uh, Liu, let’s get out of here. Bickel is here.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Bickel, hello.

Elz Indriani: Bickel! Hi, welcome, welcome in. Oh my god, thank you so much for the follow. Bickel, how are you doing today? How are you doing? Hi, by the way, wait, wait, I think Dina said something here in the chat. Vertical Gs always weird me out.

Vertical Gs.

Hi, by the [00:15:00] way, hi, Jacob. Is it fine? Okay, so it’s confusing for some people. It’s like my voice is totally fine, but for Sophie and Maki’s I think my voice is a bit too low. Huh. It’s so confusing. My microphone is right here By the way, hi guys. Hi

Alright, right, right. How about this?

All right, so Liu, all right, so we’re still having, like, an audio issue moment.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: All right, I hope I’m not, I’m not too loud now.

Elz Indriani: No, no, no, no, it was from my aunt, so I turned off your volume on the call, so you know what I mean.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Hey Sophie, hi, welcome.

Elz Indriani: Hi Sophie! Oh wait, were you guys racing together in MFR?

Which season was that?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Oh, we raced, I [00:16:00] don’t remember what season that was, I raced with Vlad, this one, and we raced Lamborghini Super Trofeo ST, so that wasn’t like GT3 car, it was special Trofeo thing, and, uh, We were struggling to set it up. I remember this and I was really pissed when we, uh, we raised like overall top five, we were in pro am I think, uh, us and I peed it for tires and changed the driver and we, we get this, uh, really nasty bug and I said, of course competizione was, uh, uh, so we had locked controls for two minutes.

So we were absolutely out of fight, out of everything, yeah.

Elz Indriani: That was sucks. Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. That sucks. What? Huh. So, I didn’t know you guys were racing in MFR. Because, well, I was a newbie back then. I joined in Season 4. [00:17:00] So, um, were you back on MFR back then for Season 4 or not?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, no, we did only this season.

Uh, then we had emotional damage with the set, of course.

Elz Indriani: So she got emotional damage because even low 46 emotional damage. So, okay, everybody can get emotional damage in a sim race. And just

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: get really, uh, complicated relationship with a set course competition, unfortunately.

Elz Indriani: So you’re, you’re the most Don’t ask her about R Factor. Oh my god, the R Factor is like my emotional damage sim, by the way, because What’s up with R Factor, by the way?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Air Factor 2, I really like to, I really like to race in it, but when we race with Virtua Liman, I raced it two times, first time that was with the W [00:18:00] series, we didn’t even get on the grid, so we just get into grid, and for my teammate, Air Factor 2 just completely shut down, and we couldn’t return back, That was really weird because, uh, you know, we waited, uh, some time for someone to join the session.

And then when this bug happened to us, so organizers said that. Okay, race is over for you, and we can do anything from our side. So that was really weird for me, um, that this has happened. Yeah, because they could just, you know, maybe restart the server and, um, give opportunity. Because, uh, our car disconnected, and I think, uh, two cars at least, uh, disconnected as well.

Oh, so you are not

Elz Indriani: the only team who got disconnected.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, yeah, we’re not, we’re not only one team. Uh, we, yeah, so this thing happened to [00:19:00] us. Yeah, that was weird.

Elz Indriani: Right. So, and then, uh, second time when,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: yeah. Second time when we raised virtual Leman, Uhhuh, uh, Bo, both of my teammates, they had, uh, , uh, wheel bases.

Mm-hmm . And, uh, the same as Max first. He race also Simco this year. And, uh, their wheel just, uh, you know, disconnected in the middle of the sane straits. Oh. So when car, um. Went fully to the left and crashed.

Elz Indriani: Uh huh. Right, right, right. And of course it’s damage and stuff. Yeah,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: and two times that happened to us.

That was really sad because we were

Elz Indriani: That was really sad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you cannot even finish the race in RF.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, hopefully, absolutely no issues from my side, from my, like, SimReek and everything. So rFactor 2 was really kind with me. I don’t know what, [00:20:00] what happened with guys.

Elz Indriani: And Sophie also said that she couldn’t make, get the RF to work properly.

Like, what? I don’t know. I mean, I, I only raised in rFactor like one time, one time, and I can’t remember any of it. But I think as far as I remember, I feel like it was fine, but I just don’t understand the UI and everything. I think the problem was more like on my end. Hi, by the way, Steve, thank you so much for the follow.

Thank you. Thank you. Enjoy your time here. You guys. Very awesome. Oh my God. That’s a really cute emotes. Lost. That’s cute. Yeah. So, so basically mostly like you’re racing in, I racing mostly in like special events, like In Screen2Speed also, you were in Screen2Speed Holidays, right? [00:21:00] Wait, yeah, Screen2Speed, we were having it in iRacing, and then you were in Porsche also, right?

And then what else did you join, like, some big events?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Um, some big events, you mean what I did in racing, yeah?

Elz Indriani: Yeah, yeah, in sim racing, like in iRacing specifically.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: There was the Porsche All Star Series, uh, so race for the second season, uh, with them, with other streamers. And, uh, also we were part of, uh, EVRA, uh, club sports series. We finished P5 with Olympus Sports in Porsche Cup, uh, class, uh, and our second team in Porsche Camp, uh, finished P6, so we had really strong season.

Um, and previously, uh, also race, uh, Alpine sports, uh, as trimmer, uh, in the set of course, we had, uh, some races in GT force that [00:22:00] was, I think, uh, the most fun experience in the set of course. Because I really enjoy, uh, GT4s in this simulator. Uh, they’re really fun to race, uh, especially in rain. They’re so fun.

Um,

Elz Indriani: so yeah. What else we

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: did?

Elz Indriani: Oh,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: yes. Uh, VCO. ProSim. Uh, we did this, uh, two or three times. Yeah. So two times we did Infinity. Uh, first Infinity I did with my own team, Love46. Um, Previously, we race, uh, ProSim, uh, like two times before that and two VCO Infinity events. Yeah. And then two times, uh, Virtual Le Mans, uh, which, uh, first time I did was W Series.

Uh, second time there was, uh, uh, Graf by ATRS Sports. Uh, there was, uh, Absolutely [00:23:00] amazing team and a unique experience for me because I was driving LMP2 car, uh, it was also fun and nice. Even, even we finished, uh, not on really good position, uh, in virtual Le Mans, I enjoy, uh, driving with team, uh, with, uh, pro drivers.

Also, we had, uh, um, driver who race, uh, LMP2 in real life and race 24 hour of Le Mans. So, yeah, that was, that was really, uh, nice. Yeah,

Elz Indriani: and the VCO, uh, wait, so, um, wait, VCO, the last VCO was the Infinity, I think. I think it was like last month? Last month, I think. Yeah, like a

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: month ago or two months ago, yeah.

Well, we race with, uh, Olympus sports. That’s my main team. Uh, also got good, uh, story about this team. So we actually [00:24:00] met with my manager, Charles Bushell, uh, before in Instagram. So he’s following me, uh, from my racing career. Then again, Get into, uh, sim racing and streaming, uh, he appear on the channel. And, uh, then like in one year or so, he started, uh, Olympus eSport team.

And now we got huge team with a lot of drivers. Uh, we started only like with three or four drivers. Now that’s a, uh, good eSport team with a really fast, uh, and. Nice people. So I’m so proud to, to be a part of it, Uhhuh, because I was like in the beginning of the team and I’m still racing with them, uh, from time to time.

So some Endurances, uh, and, uh, some events like, uh, YA club sports series, uh, and we having fun together,

Elz Indriani: so, oh yeah. By the way, Nina and Yvonne were also racing in, in the physio Infinity. [00:25:00] How was it by the way? How was the competition? This is the question also for you, Yvonne and Nina. How was, how was the VCO?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: VCO was incredible. I really like, uh, so we decided that I’m going to drive, uh, Xfinity car, Xfinity event, Xfinity car. Yeah,

Elz Indriani: yeah, yeah. I always get confused, like, infinity, Xfinity. I keep on saying VCO, Xfinity, and I was like, oh man, that was wrong. B

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: class NASCAR car. So that will be easier for people to understand.

Yeah. So maybe, uh, some people not familiar with, uh, Xfinity. Uh, so that’s, that’s like a previous gen, uh, NASCAR cars. Um, and yeah, we race them at road courses. That was really fun. I, I get a lot of new experience and new emotions. Uh, I really like it. I race, I race more. No, no, no, not really. I [00:26:00] really, yeah, I enjoy in this car at road courses.

That’s, that’s really challenging and rewarding at the same time, because even if you get to the finish line, you’re like, wow, I did it. I

Elz Indriani: tried to drive it, I think a few weeks ago in iRacing, we were having the Xfinity at Road America. So basically I was like trying to driving that car in road course. And.

Oh my God, that was hard. I think the Xfinity is like harder than driving the cup car in road course. It’s like scary. Thanks, Glenn. I can drive, I don’t mind, like, I don’t mind and I’m so happy to drive the next gen in road course, but once I tried driving the Xfinity in road course, I got emotional damage because, like, that was like challenging, but I bet it’s so rewarding, like, once you know how to drive it.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: It was really hard because you, uh, when you get out of the, of [00:27:00] the turn, you have to, uh, keep the throttle like on 70%, you can go to 100 because every time you go to 100 directly, you’re just spinning the car because it’s just too much power for, for this road courses. Um, so you have to keep like 70 and then as you feel that okay, car straight, you then can.

Elz Indriani: Then you can go

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: for 100%. Yeah. So that was really cool. We race. So race Monza, road Atlanta, and I don’t remember. I think I raced another one track. Oh yes. Phillip Island. And I raced Monza with a super formal lights. Yeah. That was really fun.

Elz Indriani: The super formula is a fun car to drive. I haven’t like got into the official, but yeah, that was fun.

I only do it like one, two times in fast rush. You cannot wait for the Corvée in the Six Hours of the Glen. Oh my god, oh yeah, when [00:28:00] is it? Is it next month, or is it this month? Uh,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: that, that’ll be, I think, next week, so people tell me that it’s going to be 14th, uh, 15th.

Elz Indriani: Oh my god, is it, is it this week? And next week, I mean, is it?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let me Google it. I didn’t see. Six Hours Glen, oh my god, so I’m planning to do it, guys. Liu, I’m planning to do the Six Hours of the Glen. And is it, I thought it would be like next month, you know, like, okay, I just got back from Texas.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: No, no, this month. Yeah. Hi,

Elz Indriani: Steve! By the way, welcome!

14 to 16, oh my god! Hello! Hello, Steve! Welcome, welcome to Welcome to Indie Talks, and I’m Els, I’m your host for today, and I got panic attack right now. Your host got panic attack. Oh my god. Alright, and by the way, are you doing the six hours, Leo?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, I think so, I have to, uh, ask my Olympus Esports [00:29:00] friends, uh, for the teammate.

Elz Indriani: Huh, why don’t you race with us? If you’re, if you’re thinking about it, like, if you’re looking for a teammate, maybe you wanna do it. I wait, but that will be like such a different or such a huge gap of irating between us. I need to reach you first, I think, before we can read. Do it solo.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Do it solo, yeah. Can

Elz Indriani: we?

I wait, can we do solo without getting disqualified? Uh, not

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: really sure about this event, but you can do VRS Endurances, uh, without getting disqualification now, so you can do 3 hours Endurances and GT3s solo.

Elz Indriani: Huh, so you can do IMSA and the GT3 solo then? Yeah, yeah,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: right.

Elz Indriani: Oh, interesting. Maybe I should try to do it sometimes.

Huh. Oh my god. Yeah, some androids you can all check. Thank you. Thank you, Steve. Oh my god. [00:30:00] Oh my god. Oh wait. Um, Liu, by the way, did, did you, did you do the Coke 600 a few weeks ago, two weeks ago? Or were you doing the Indy 500? Yes,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: we did Coke 600, I think we finished P7. Yeah, P7. Yeah, it was good because it was a quite competitive split.

Uh, so we did, didn’t get into crashes, uh, had a lot of, uh, green flags during this race. Yeah, Indy 500, unfortunately, uh, didn’t go as expected, uh, we crashed on lap 57, uh, that happened on restart, so just the cars ahead of me slowed down, I slowed down with them, so I had a really small gap to the next car in front of me, uh, and, yeah, just the person behind didn’t react in time, uh, crashed into my rear, and, uh, spawned me, I get into the wall, get the wheel damage, [00:31:00] and, um, Uh, we get like, uh, five minutes required repairs, and unfortunately car was, uh, undriveable, so decided to, uh, to stop, unfortunately.

Sorry for the

Elz Indriani: spectacular crash. Yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: You know, I wanted to fly over the Indianapolis or something like that, but that was the ridiculous crash which happened.

Elz Indriani: Oh my god, that sounds like Me in Talladega, Bicol, if you remember. What happened to Liu was like exactly what I did to someone accidentally in Talladega, if you remember.

Oh my god. Okay, it appears to be minimum of two drivers. 46 hours of the Glen. I see, I see. Yeah, okay, I’ll try to do it. Like, two drivers, maybe. It’s gonna be multi class, right? The Glen.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, Glen? I think that should be GT Freeze only. [00:32:00]

Elz Indriani: Oh, Glenn is YouTubers only. Oh, I see, then. I think so. Is there a problem, then?

Indoor trauma. At least the Yeah, I got trauma, be cool. I got traumatized. Oh, wait. I thought, I thought six hours off with Glenn is like multi class. I was, I’m dumb. I’m so dumb. No, it’s IMSA, six hours.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Ah, IMSA. Okay.

Elz Indriani: Oh. Oh. Yeah,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: then multi class will be, yeah.

Elz Indriani: I

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: just remember that previously we did Glint 6 hours and we had only GT3s.

Elz Indriani: Oh yeah, sometimes you can get like the GT3 only split. I don’t know how did that happen, but I think when I was racing in Daytona 24 with Ash and Sierra, I think we were like in GT3 only split. Daytona should be multi class, right? So it was like, okay, it’s better, I think, if it’s not multi class because sometimes I’m afraid of, of the GTP drivers.

I don’t know why. [00:33:00] Ah, so scary. Your first NEC, you had the GT3 only. Right, right, right, the GT3 only. Hi! Oh my god. I think, I don’t mind doing a multiclass race, but if I have a, if I have like, um, like a spotter, I feel like, okay, I’ll be fine. But if I don’t have a spotter, I’m a bit afraid of some prototype drivers.

Do you like it, by the way, the multiclass race, or not really? Not really a big fan of it?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: I’m a big fan of multiclass racing, because, uh, you just Basically, you have to stay out of troubles. You should be fine. And, yeah, sometimes you can get a lot of positions because people hurry. GT3 is not paying enough attention if you’re in GT3’s class.

So, sometimes that’s some freebies for you. Some

Elz Indriani: freebies. Oh, right. So, any tips for [00:34:00] slower class car, like the faster class car? Any tips for it? Oh, I get this. Thanks.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, I get this question a lot in my streams, uh, when we raise some multiclasses. Um, so main thing will be that for me you have to try to raise And you have to try to race at least an LMP2, uh, for the one race, just to understand where to, um, like where prototypes can jump in and, uh, like overtake you as a slower car class.

Uh, and for slower car class, you’re also going to understand where they can jump and you’ll be more careful in these places. Um, so yeah, you’re just watching for the relatives, um, like if car 1. 5 away from you, you have to be ready that any time on the right, on the left, so here is a prototype can be. [00:35:00] Uh, and just.

Trying to escape from the situations where, like, you got, like, two G3s, maybe two wide, and here is another prototype, so you just have to let go situations sometimes. Yeah, you just let go people. They crashing and you just continue the race

Elz Indriani: So your tips is You have to try at least driving in different cars on that series.

So you yeah Yeah, you get how it feels to be the to be the prototype and to be the GT3 car

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, I think so because that you’re going to understand how to behave and Faster car class and in slower car class also, um, I think my dream to make it mandatory for everybody to, you know, to race both classes, uh, before joining like maybe big events like six hour of Glenn or something like that.[00:36:00]

Elz Indriani: Maybe if I want to get into insight at some point, I will try to like practicing the way you do it. Like practicing like the different class of that session, like, yeah. Interesting, that’s very interesting. Driving the faster cars will help you learn to help them get by. This is a very big word. Slowing down.

Right, right. That and being able to adapt to any situation is perfect. Right. Because in the end, like, um, In the end, like, yeah, you cannot, like, keep on, like, blaming or pointing finger to someone in the race when something happens. Like, you know. And the slower class in multi class because, uh. Because I sometimes try to do it faster, probably because I have to watch myself to get around everything.

To be that slower class, right, right. Because sometimes when I see, like, okay, [00:37:00] back in the day I used to do some IMSA, like, I don’t know, it was like one or two years ago, probably, like, yeah. So I was like, I don’t know, like, in, in IMSA, every time. Every time, like, I don’t know, every time I’m getting into a decision, it’s always a chaos, like a big chaos, and everybody just, like, I don’t know, like, blaming each other for the crash.

I don’t know, it’s just so absurd back then. At least for the faster class, in my opinion. In my split, in my split, by the way. Because I About,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: uh, slow

Elz Indriani: Uh huh, what’s that?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, about, uh, slower class, I can add that, uh, you have to be predictable. So the best way to be predictable for fast cars that just stay on the racing line, even, uh, so when you see someone jumping and doing dive bomb, of course you’re leaving space on the inside.

Yeah, but before that moment, you’re not moving from the racing line because that’s the, Uh, how you can be predictable for [00:38:00] everybody because I saw a lot of crashes when, uh, just GT3 tried to let go the prototype in, in the line where prototype like shouldn’t be. And this is where the crash happening. So, uh, the best way just stay on the racing line.

Uh, just be ready that any moment a car can jump into inside or can be on the outside. Uh, and yeah, that’s it. I think you should be fine and should be safe on track.

Elz Indriani: Because in the end, it’s like the faster class car job to overtake you safely, right? Like, to pass you safely. As long as, like, you’re being predictable, you’ll be fine.

Like, stay in the line. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah, must make the pass safely. Yes. The slower traffic should be predictable. Right, right. I got into the habit of looking into my mirrors before every turn in the braking zone. Oh, yeah, that one. [00:39:00] Use your mirror at the right time, I guess. Use your mirror at the right time.

Oh, by the way, Liu, what’s your current favorite series in iRacing? Speaking of Because we were talking about the multi class The multi class racing, and now I got into this question. Like, what’s your favorite series in iRacing right now?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, if we’re talking about, uh So we got a few licenses. Yeah, we got like sport cars now, formulas.

And some ovals and some other stuff. Uh, so if we talking about GT cars, sport cars, they’ll be Porsche cup for me. Uh, if we’re talking about formulas, I really like to race a formal one 600 because here’s a like pure racing and a really fun races, uh, because you, um, staying in draft, you side by side with everybody, uh, all the time, uh, because this car is not [00:40:00] really fast.

Um, so they’re really fun to, um, to fight on the track and about ovals. I think I got a few favorite series here. Uh, there’ll be a Draftmaster. She

Elz Indriani: likes Draftmasters too, guys.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Okay,

Elz Indriani: what else?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, Draftmaster, and I really like Gen 4, as that’s really fast car, and on some tracks you can save tires, you can also do some different strategies compared to other people and gain some positions because of that.

And I think Xfinity is really good in B class, uh, people usually really polite. In this series, I don’t know why, so you’re getting into C tracks, here’s the most toxic people all over iRacing. They’re here, but yeah, in B [00:41:00] class, in Xfinity, really polite and nice people, and I really enjoy racing here. Yeah,

Elz Indriani: I just got my a license by the way, so thanks to the coke 600 I gained so much safety rating after my second try So i’m in a class right now, and i’m so excited to try out the a class So how is it by the way in a class?

I mean, I I love oval, but I never got into any official session in next gen. So Um, you got your a license already right in oval. So can you share something a bit for me about the a class race? If you’re doing some,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: um, next gen cars, uh, the most, the most important thing to stay in the draft, because when you, uh, like on tracks, Daytona or Talladega or something like that.

If you, uh, further away than 0. 3 tenths from the car in front of you, you’re just losing the draft, like, [00:42:00] massively. You’re just, you’re going to be so far away from the train, and you’re going to lose opportunity to, um, gain positions. Yeah, and back in the draft as well. Um, So the most important thing just to stay in draft and usually people when they race Daytona and next gen, uh, they just, uh, racing really close to the on the outside line.

So you have to learn how to be close to the wall on the outside line also. Yeah, that’s it. And, you know, just as always, trying to be a ninja in crashes.

Elz Indriani: Right, right, right. So, basically, in next gen, you cannot lose the draft at all. Like, don’t lose the draft. I see. And I can practice that in Draftmasters.

Steve also loves the Draftmasters, only when people cannot crash me. Sometimes, like, trying to avoid the crash in Draftmasters is fun. I don’t know, it feels so rewarding because, yeah, people is like just crashing everywhere. So, here’s the pattern that I [00:43:00] realized in Draft Monsters. So, at the first one or two laps, there will be a crash, and then, seven going to ten, normally, you will have another crash.

And, I think the most incident happens in lap 18 or 19, something like that. I think that’s the pattern of Draftmasters that I realized. Yeah. Like, at the start, in the middle, and at the final. At the final lap. Or the last two laps. Like, yeah, that was crazy. But yeah, I’m, I’m so excited, honestly, getting into the A class next season.

Because yeah, I wanna learn. Not like I wanna learn, but I wanna get better in drafting the next gen. It’s, it’s not my favorite in overall. Maybe because Yeah, maybe because in Superspeedway, for example, you need to like actually like sending it, keeping it on the draft. Like, keep it close to everyone. I think, yeah, that’s like, that’s like my challenge for now.

Like, argh, it gives me anxiety sometimes, guys, to stay [00:44:00] close, to stay close to each other. Well, I, I enjoy it, but yeah, I still need to, like, practicing on it, like, get better at it. Do you forget the most important things? If you’re going to crush, make it spectacular. Yeah. Did you have, like, so much, so many spectacular crush?

In Draftmasters?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, well, I think I had a few spectacular. It was like, rolling around the track many times, yeah.

Elz Indriani: That’s crazy. Yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, I think that’s typical Crash for Draftmasters.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, the typical, what do you expect from Draftmasters?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah.

Elz Indriani: That’s crazy. Oh my god. And by the way, since you’re like, You’ve been streaming for four years and you’ve been doing a lot of race in iRacing, so I’m assuming you have like a pretty high iRating, not like super high, high, high, [00:45:00] 12k, 15k, but I mean, you’re, you’re considered as a pro in iRacing, right?

Or at least that’s what I’m thinking about you.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, well, uh, in Rhodes, we had 5k a little bit, so it’s a 4. 5 right now for formulas and for GTs. And, uh, as I’m aware, 5k, that’s like top 1 percent of all iRacers. So, yeah, I think that that’s really good iRating, which I’m having. Yeah, and in all, um, in all, my rating is really struggling, but we were, yeah, we were really close to 3k.

I was, uh, 2970 or something like that, but then I just dropped down and, like, maybe four races in Draftmaster or something like that happened.

Elz Indriani: Oh my god, you lose a lot from four races. Oh my god, what happened? Crash, we crashed, spectacular crash, haven’t we?[00:46:00]

But that’s that’s also very high like So i’m working on my way to get into the 2k at least I want to get it like in two weeks I think it’s very doable. Like i’m very close to it So any advice for me and everyone here in the chat who wants to improve their rating to get the 5k in the end? What if, uh, okay, what if my goal is 5k eye rating?

Quit signing up for the posters! Ha ha ha ha ha! So, yeah, Liu, so basically, what are the advice that you can give to me and everyone who wants to improve their eye rating? That’s either good or awful.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, if we’re talking about road races, yeah, let’s talk about them because I still struggling how to, uh, you know, gain a rating and, uh, you know, I understand that, you know, once you have to do maybe tracks, which, uh, you good [00:47:00] at, maybe that there’ll be short tracks, maybe that tracks like, uh, Kansas, uh, where you have to save tires, uh, this is how you can overtake a lot of people and gain a rating and, uh, Uh, for ovals, I think open, um, open races with open set, uh, will be better to gain a racing, um, about road racing.

Uh, you just have to think about, um, practicing the track, improving your mistakes, uh, to be able to gain like 5k, you have to be at least, uh, like maybe 5 tenths from the fastest lap times on track. Um, you have to qualify really good. So if you’re qualifying. Um, top five or top seven, you, um, you’ll get more opportunities to get positions and to get a rating as well.

And the most important thing I noticed that if you qualify in [00:48:00] top five and wrote a series like maybe Porsche Cup, GT3s and, um, some formulas as well, you just escape from all this, uh, bad crashes, which happened and usually, um, you know, like close to top 10, top 15. Um, So, yeah, you just have to focus on your lap times, how to improve them, uh, get really good qualifying, and then clean, clean race, uh, without crashes.

Uh, but if crash happen, you lose, like, some high rating, you just, uh, have to jump to the next race and, uh, do this once again, because that You know, that means nothing if one crash happened, that’s nothing because you then can gain a rating in the next like five races or something like that. So it doesn’t matter if you’re going to lose like 100 rating in one race, so then you can just return back everything in the next races.

So yeah, basically just think about racing. Think about your driving instead of thinking, are you gaining [00:49:00] a rating or not?

Elz Indriani: Right, right, right. So focus on your race craft and everything and yeah, put aside the irate in first, in the first place. Stick with what, with one car also help, but that’s not fun. Yeah, that’s my thing.

Cause sometimes I’m like trying different, different car every week. Like, I don’t know, this week I want to do this next week. I want to do that. I don’t know. So do we really need to stick in one car? If we want to act well, if you want to improve, of course, you have to focus on one car. So we had this conversation before, before we started the stream, right?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: I just, uh, suggest all people who’s coming to my stream, they asking me, uh, like what GT3 to try on this track, on that track. I just telling that you have to choose the GT3 which you best with. You feeling comfortable, you feeling, um, Confident in this car on the track. So that’s the most important thing because we got like, and if we talking about G freeze, [00:50:00] here’s the like 40 minute races, that’s quite a long time.

Yeah. So, uh, here’s a tire wear effects on the lap times on driving as well. Uh, and you really have to be confident in the car and comfortable on the track to be able to finish this race and to gain positions and yeah, finish then. Uh, so just. If that’s your first season, G3, second season, uh, you don’t have a lot of experience, uh, back then, just, yeah, focus on one car and, uh, um,

Elz Indriani: yeah, focus on

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: one car, just take your time to learn tracks, how to be better with them and, uh, correct your mistakes.

Also, the most important thing, uh, just not put Four hours, six hours for the practice. Yet, uh, you have to practice, um, how I’m doing this. I’m just, uh, [00:51:00] trying to, um, watch the video, uh, where I can see the breaking points, uh, from the other fast person. Uh, you can find them on YouTube. You can use Garage 61, which is free.

Uh, here’s some, uh, data from other people. So you can compare it on the website, and it’s really easy to use. Um, it’s going to help you to find your mistakes. Uh, and also, usually I’m starting from learning the breaking points, entry points to the corners, exit points. So I’m trying to use the whole track, trying to, like, improve my breaking points, and, uh, just be focused on this.

And You just jumping to the session doing some labs if you see that you’re consistent enough you then go into Like garage 61 compare your data to faster people See your mistakes where you’re losing and you’re trying to focus on this like exact T1, [00:52:00] T2 or T5, yeah, and you’re doing that for like maybe 30 minutes, then you, um, taking the break, then maybe return back for another one hour practice or so, uh, because it doesn’t matter if you’re going to be like four hours.

Uh, without analyzing. Yeah. So just talking that, uh, you have to analyze. So if you’re doing like one hour practice, but you analyzing and you’re trying to improve and correct your mistakes on track, that’s going to be better practice overall, then instead of you, you’re just putting four hours on the track, you’re just racing.

It’s because you’re just going to race the same mistakes for four hours. That’s not going to lead you anywhere to better lap times.

Elz Indriani: Isn’t it two laps of quali enough practice? No, Bickel, if you want to survive the race, or go faster, you need more than two laps of practice, Bickel. Yeah. And you need to get into more races, Bickel.[00:53:00]

Like, you’re, like, subscribing to iRacing, yet you only do, like, one race in a year. Like, wow, Bickel, that’s crazy. But never forget to have fun. That’s true. Never forget to have fun. I’m having so much fun guys still in iRacing Well, I got some emotional damage, but that was more because of my internet but not specifically on iRacing No It doesn’t give me any emotional damage.

Just my connection I hate it All right. So by the way Liu any advice for the girls out there? For everyone, like every girls out there who wants to get better in simracing. Or who wants to start getting into it. If you know what I mean.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Well Just can give advice here for everybody for everyone if you want to get into sim racing and Like if you got friends who’s telling you all that sim racing not for you Just say goodbye to this friends.

[00:54:00] You’re going to find new better friends in sim racing

Yeah, I think that’s if you want to start something You just have to, you have to go for it, follow your dreams, yeah, if you want to start sim racing, you just have to jump and start sim racing, we also got, uh, Nice opportunities right now, and I think in many cities, so we got like some racing centers where you can just Take take a rick yeah for our and try it.

Yeah, if you Kind of thinking if you want to get your own rick yet at home So maybe you just want to try it you can you got this opportunity and how to improve that’s once again Uh, put more time to, uh, practice with analyzing your data, analyzing, uh, your labs and, uh, analyzing other, other people labs, yeah, which, [00:55:00] uh, who faster than you.

Uh, this is how you can. Be better and be faster on the racing track, in sim racing and, uh, in real life racing that’s working the same way. So yeah, just, uh, the main thing, follow your dreams and, uh, no matter what, uh, people around you going to tell you, you, uh, if you want something, you have to take it.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, true. Well, yeah, when someone said like, you, you cannot do it. You can’t do it. Sim racing is not for you. And yeah, Liu was right. Find a new friend. Find a new friend. So yeah, we, I think we have to say goodbye to Bickel. Liu, you and me. We say goodbye to Bickel. Bye, Bickel! I’m just, I’m just joking, Bickel.

By the way, hi! Transmission motorsport! Tasha! Tasha, right? Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but hi, by the way. Hello. Welcome. Welcome. And of course you can ask question In the init is in the init discord. Yep. Yep. Sure. You can where where do you [00:56:00] shoot the questions? By the way, yes, you can, if you have any questions for me or for Liu, you can, you can drop it in the chat or you can drop it also on our discord.

So if you haven’t joined our discord, feel free to join by typing the comment discord and you should able to get, to get the link. Okay, hold on. Let me see. We can continue the conversation on discord you guys Yep. All right. So Leo by the way Yeah, so basically, thank you so much for joining Today today’s interview.

I had I learned a lot from you and also like well, thank you so much for coming in today I really appreciate you. Thank you so much But I’m struggling on the next steps. What’s up with that? What’s up? What’s up? Yeah, so by the way, Biko, Jacob, Makis, and everyone, if you guys have [00:57:00] a question for Liu, we can drop on the questions.

You can drop on the questions right now Before we end the stream. So this will be the Q& A session Q& A session for everyone. What’s up, by the way, Tasha? Struggling on the next step? Where did you, uh, ask the question, by the way? Is it on? Wait, is it? Hey, by the way, how was the screen to speed? How was the screen to speed spring cup, by the way?

Yvonne! Sophie, how was the screen to speed spring cup? I saw the, um, I saw the replay that Sophie shared to me, like, a few days ago, I watched it and I was, like, working on the clips and everything. The Suzuka was crazy. The Suzuka was crazy rain back then. Elio, by the way, do you play Gran Turismo or not?

Not really.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, no. No, because I don’t have PlayStation. I always had [00:58:00] PC. So, yeah, I never tried Gran Turismo. Yeah.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, but you did some Forza sometimes, right? Like Back in the day. Yeah. Forza, because it’s

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: available on pc.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, yeah, yeah. How was Forza? Was it fun or because nothing looks really good. Not what?

What,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: what Forza do you mean? Do you mean the horizon five? No, not the horizon or motor sport.

Elz Indriani: Motor sport. The motor sport.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: ModaSport 1, it was fun, uh, we did some TCR races, I think in it, uh, it was really fun. I love it. But I don’t really like ModaSport 7. It was a bit weird. So I think the new one, uh, a lot better with, uh, how car feels on track, especially TCR.

Don’t know about other cars because I tried road cars, uh, in Forza and not really familiar with road cars on racing tracks. So, yeah. I really like the TCR

Elz Indriani: here. The TCR, I see. [00:59:00] Uh, you’re still, you’re still working with Purple to help her learn to be predictable. To learn how to be predictable when, when being lapped.

Yeah, I think, yeah, just as Liu said, like, be predictable when you’re like, yeah, being the, being lapped by people. Like, doesn’t matter which team. Are you, are you guys playing? But Liz, advice earlier, you can like apply that in every game. Everything, if you know what I mean. Oh, are you going, are you going to have a s in cafe?

When is, where is it going to be? The s in cafe? Still working on for some more support for screen to speed. Oh, I see. Good luck by the way. So Sophie Sophie is the one who’s um working on the calendar on the schedule and everything for the screen to speed. GG Sophie. GG. So for the upcoming screen to speed.[01:00:00]

For the upcoming screen to speed summer cup we’ll be having it in iRacing, F1, and so on. Uh, GT, in GT also, or correct me if I’m wrong, but one thing for sure, we’ll be back on iRacing. Finally! I’m so excited. So, by the way, Liu, in the upcoming Scream 2 Speed, we’ll be having like a championship kind of thing, like a championship for women, so we’ll be I’m planning to have like all the girls, all my friends, racing together.

In this championship and well, we’re still working on it and we’ll be racing in F four. So for you as a pro, um, I have this question, what do you think if we are having a championship? A screen to speech championship and we’ll be driving the F4 and I’m talking about some technical track like in butters Let’s say or we put you guys in road Atlanta.

How how is it? How is it going to be? Prediction prediction. Is it going to be fun or is it going to be like what [01:01:00] a spectacular well

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: I think, uh, Formal 4. Yeah, you, you, you tell me about Formal

Elz Indriani: 4. Yeah.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Um, Rolls Royce should be fine for this, for this car. About butters, I think they’re going to be a disaster.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, because I think I’ve had, I’ve seen you, like, doing the F4 butters. Like, back in the day, in your stream. Like, I was working back then, right? So, how was it? We’re doing butters, butters. Oh, I don’t

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: remember. It was refreshing. Wait, I think I didn’t do butters with Formal 4. I saw that this combo happened like two weeks ago or something like that, but I didn’t do this.

Uh, but I think the butters is really, you know, complicated track, uh mm-hmm . Even for GT cars because wolves are real close and, uh, a lot of fast and blind corners here. Mm-hmm . Uh, so yeah, for foremost, they’ll be really hard track, uh, to drive .

Elz Indriani: Yeah. I think I remember like [01:02:00] we had, we had a GT three race.

Like, we had a GT3 race in a, um, but it was like a fun race back then, remember? Like, where we had, like, three race. First one is Mote Rallycross, second one is GT3 at Butters. I forgot which one was that, but I remember like we raced together in that time, and first lap at Butters in GT3, I remember there was like a big parking lot going uphill, like that was so crazy.

Like once, once someone crashed, once someone spun and hit each other, and it’s just a parking lot scene for me. Butters, that’s so crazy, oh my god. I feel bad for putting these girls into Butters, because that was my idea. But it’s gonna be fun, it’s gonna be fun.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Like one car spawned in top 5, here’s the rest of the field just a parking lot, yeah.

Yeah,

Elz Indriani: just stuck, just crazy. Yeah, so I will be a beginner on iRacing trying to drive the [01:03:00] F4. I think in my opinion F4 is, I’m not saying F4 is beginner friendly, but um, it’s so fun to drive. What do you think by the way, Liu?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Well, I think all formal is they Quite friendly with beginners. Uh, I mean like Formula 3, Formula 4.

Yeah, because a lot of downforce in this car. So it’s, uh, Forgiving in some places so where like GT cars You know, we can see some mistakes with your driving. Formals, they’re more forgiving, uh, because they’re faster. They got downforce, so it can rely on downforce of this car. So yeah, why not? So if you starting that racing, you can try Formal 4 or Formal 3, uh, but.

Yeah, it has to be, um, a very open code, which can happen because these cars are really fast and especially when you go in with a bit different lines for the corner, uh, side by side with someone, you have to be aware of this and just leave enough space for the [01:04:00] car next to you. Uh, and also, yeah, just leave enough space because every touch can give you big damage to the car.

So if you damage the front wing, you’re going to lose a lot of speed. Yeah. This is a really important thing for Formulas.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, I feel like in Formula, it really teaches you about giving space to everyone. I think. Yeah, really. That car is so fragile. Like, yeah. One little touch, you’re losing your front wing or your rear wing.

Like, yeah, that. So be careful, but it’s a fun car to drive still, by the way. Tasha, if you want. I had a crash on Butters. One car spun, I hit him, and I went so high I got reset back to Yeah, I think the best so when when there’s like a parking lot scene and you are stuck in it Like I think it’s better to just hit the hit the escape button, right?

Because you’re you’re cause you’re causing a well you’re causing a scene right there and you cannot go anywhere So [01:05:00] yeah, what would you do by the way if you’re like stuck in the parking lot, for example, like okay crash You cannot go anywhere. Did you just hit the escape button back to the plane or you’re like trying to like Well, it depends on the situation, of course, but what if, like, there was, like, a total parking lot, like, yeah, you cannot go.

Just, you just hit the escape button, and

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: I don’t know, if car is okay, I would just, uh, would just wait till they go, go ahead. Ah, I see, so you’re just like Make a space for

Elz Indriani: me. Coming through,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: choo choo! Yeah. So yeah, if car is okay, you just can stay and chill with everybody till people going to move, yeah, and they going to move anywhere.

Anyway, so yeah

Elz Indriani: Just go. Oh here. Uh, okay steve got a question So leo as you have driven f4 in real life How does the iris in one drive [01:06:00] compared to the real one? Is the real that sleepy in real life? Okay How is it?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Well that depends on the You know, set up, uh, because in the racing got open set and real life.

We had a fixed set also for everybody. I drove it at spunk. Um, and it’s a punk. We had a really high temperatures on track. So track temperature was around like 58 Celsius. Uh, so tires warm up. Pretty fast, but also you could overheat them a little bit and rear, um, become a little bit slippy. Um, so I can tell that, uh, formal for which we got in a racing as that’s the same chassis, which I drove in, uh, formal for Southeast Asia.

That’s Mugel, uh, French chassis, uh, for formal for they really close. Yeah. To what I’ve felt with this car in real life and how it just, uh, driving and [01:07:00] how it feels on track. So yeah, I think iRacing did an amazing job with this car, definitely.

Elz Indriani: Huh, so it’s close enough. Close enough to how it feels, and Huh, I see.

I see. Huh, interesting. They crash well in iRacing, just like in real life. Wait, do you guys like crash a lot? Not like crash a lot, like a lot. I mean, this sounds like a dumb question, but Okay, the type of crash in real life, was it like Quite absurd like what happened in simulator or it could be like that upset I mean, I saw some crazy video crazy crash on youtube.

Yes. So some of them can be like pretty spectacular, but I think you mentioned it earlier, right? Like the crash in real life like people don’t really like crash like crazy that much people people like more careful like not Not like careful, but it’s not like people like, you know, like it’s different of [01:08:00] course

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: I think that for formal three and formal four, uh, Kind of the same situation as in iRacing because, uh, these people, they just come from karting.

Um, I know they’re really hot and, uh, they just, uh, really young. Also, you, uh, able to race Formula 4 at 15, 15 years old. So that, that’s really, um, you know, young people. So yeah, I think a lot of spectacular crashes happened in the Formal 4 and Formal 3. The really dangerous, uh, I had one crash in, uh, Asia Cup series.

There was Formal BMW. So guy, he was like, Maybe 0. 6 behind me, 0. 7 on the last lap. He just, uh, uh, did a dive bomb, locked up, uh, on brakes and, uh, crashing to me, pushed me out of the track. Yeah, this is how it happened. So that was crazy. That

Elz Indriani: was crazy. [01:09:00] Oh my God. Yeah. I mean, I saw some videos like the karting, the karting crash, something like that on YouTube, on Instagram.

Steve just said, said right thing.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Just you, you touch tire a little bit and you just flying over the car or something happened and it, you know, Formula is really dangerous.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, it’s very dangerous. Can we do the same like in video games? Oh my god. Oh my god. Often wheel crashes are crazy, especially when the tires just, yeah, the tires touch just, wow.

Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, that’s crazy. Oh my god, what was the most? Okay, this is a question from me to you, Dio. What, okay, what was the most memorable race in real life, the IRL race that you had in your life? Any mem the most memorable one.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Oh, I remember one race that was, uh, in Formal Masters, we race, uh, Sochi Autodrome, um, [01:10:00] that’s Formal 1 circuit back in days, um, and it was going, uh, P3, I know what happened, uh, because, you know, uh, the curbs, uh, on this track, they had curbs, and then some, like, sausages, the Uh, so maybe when I cut curves, I just touched them a little bit and damaged my front wing.

Uh, so I was going through the DRS zone that was last lap of the race, uh, was going P3 and, I remember that front wing just fell down a little bit and for a moment I lost, completely lost the grip from my front tires because they didn’t touch the, um, the tarmac at this moment, yeah, because here is the front wing, uh, just broken in front of the car.

And I was breaking, um, after the DRS zone, that was the longest straight on this track. Uh, and I was just [01:11:00] praying that, uh, you know, car going to steer into the corner or if, if it’s not going to steer into the corner, I would just go directly to the wall on the last lap. And hopefully. Hopefully, hopefully in the last moment when I was braking, uh, car started to lose the speed and maybe some vibration, uh, returning back the, the front wing to the car and it just started to steer into the corner and I got a really fun picture.

I just crossed the start finish line and, uh, you know, car looks like, uh, I’m trying to get away the snow in the winter time.

Elz Indriani: With the wrong

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: wing.

Elz Indriani: Oh my god, you should share. I have to make this funny after this. I wanna see. Yeah, I

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: can share it. I can share it, yeah.

Elz Indriani: Formula Plo. Oh, by the way, I didn’t see your supercar.

Yeah, that was really fun. Yeah, that was memorable. Oh my god. Oh yeah, [01:12:00] I know the Sochi Autodrome. That was the, yeah, the formula. The formula circuit. Oh my

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: god. Yeah.

Elz Indriani: F4 didn’t have Halo when you were racing them, right? Or were you? Did you get the hello?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: No, we didn’t, we didn’t have hello. We also informal masters.

I raised in 2015, so that’s a taters if a zero 10, you can raise this car in a set of course. Um, it has a stick gearbox, so that’s a like sequential, but with the stick, no, with the pedal, pedal shifters. It was like, really, really cool. Yeah.

Elz Indriani: That’s really cool. Yeah, yeah. But you didn’t have the Halo. Right.

That’s scary because the Halo. Yeah, I

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: didn’t, didn’t have, yeah.

Elz Indriani: Yeah. Because Halo really saved your life, right? Yeah. Ah. Ha. I see. And, by the [01:13:00] way, be cool, and Steve, if you have another question, and also Tasha, if you have another question, feel free to drop it here in the chat because, um, I’m going Because we are, we’ll be done in about two minutes from now.

So we’re, we’re giving you guys two more minutes for few last questions before we end the stream. I need IRL Halo, yeah, because I need it. And I need helmets also, because when I’m driving my small cars, yes, I need it, because Hey, by the way, guys, I don’t know if you can see it, but I have new Pokemon.

That’s a sneak peek over there. I got new Pokemon. And I even have a Pokemon car in iRacing. Oh my god. Oh my god. So, by the way, Leon, um, Are you streaming? Are you going to stream anytime this week for the rest of the week or not? Feel free to, feel free to promote your upcoming stream here in the, in the stream.

In, in the talk [01:14:00] so we can like, yeah, we can hop on on your chat sometimes. Thanks.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Oh, Saturday and Sunday I’m going to stream 100%, so I’m starting usually at 3 4pm GMT. So you can find me, find me on my Twitch channel. Yeah, I’m Love46 on my Twitch channel.

Elz Indriani: Yeah, so guys, this weekend if you guys got nothing to do while you guys waiting for the upcoming Screen2Speed Summer Cup broadcast every weekend, you can hang out in Love46’s stream this weekend from 3 4pm GMT.

Between 3:00 PM or 4:00 PM GMT. So are you going to do the some, I don’t know, with 13 race or what you gonna do in this room? I

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: think we’re going to race, uh, just week 13’s crazy races.

Elz Indriani: Oh yeah, like what you did yesterday. I was hanging in your chat like yesterday, right? Like I was like, yeah, putting back my camera and everything back in place.

And yeah, so, oops, I dropped [01:15:00] my keyboard. That’s so dumb. All right, we got it back. So I put my. So I put my keyboard here on top of my P818 like this. And it’s like Question. Masang or dekorfer? I haven’t tried it, but it’s on my card, so I haven’t tried it. So Liu, which one?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, we tried them yesterday and I can tell that, uh, the Corvette for me, because I’m feeling more confident, comfortable on track.

Uh, we did some testing at Rolls Royce with a Mustang. I did one minute, 20 seconds and zero, uh, with the Corvette for the second lap, I did 19 and two. And then we did 19 and zero. So I’m just like one second faster with this car. Uh, it feels really, uh, balanced on track. I really like it. So for me, if we put a scale, so here’s like a Ferrari and here’s a Porsche 911.

So [01:16:00] Corvette will be somewhere here, uh, closer to Porsche 911, uh, which is really good, so it’s a, uh, really predictable car. You, you, you know, Just rear really, um, you know, not really sensitive to make you spin. It’s really balanced so you can put car into the corner in the right way. And yeah, you can be fast and this car is really predictable and nice.

Elz Indriani: So it handles better for something. Right. And Bickel, you like the Mustang more? I got both of the car on my cart, so I don’t know, I’m just gonna buy both and see which one that I like, but

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: yeah. Yeah, about Mustang, so we can place Mustang, I think, alongside with Mercedes and BMW, and this car definitely will be, um, On the first place for me, out of these cars, because I’m not really, um, [01:17:00] confident in BMW every, I don’t know, is it me, is it only me, or maybe you’re feeling the same, but every time getting into BMW, that’s like you, um, I know you’re jumping from the Porsche cup car to BMW GT3, and you’re like driving the big American track.

Elz Indriani: Oh, I see, I see, I get what you mean, right, right.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, just really weird, maybe, sitting position, or just how the cockpit builds, so just, uh, yeah, give me the feeling that I’m really high in this car, sitting, and, uh, that’s Uh, completely like turned around all my feelings of the tracks and everything.

Elz Indriani: Ah, I see.

Right. But we could like it there. We could like the Mustang more. I feel like I love the BMW. Don’t get me wrong. I like the, I don’t know why this is so weird, and it’s just my thing. I think I, I like the BMW in a CC, it’s super fun, but I [01:18:00] am not a big fan of BMW in everything yet. For me, it feels like drafting a book.

American classic, better sound than handling. Better sound than handling. And we also got some new tracks, right? How many, how many new tracks do, do we got?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, we got, uh, One Speedway, Navarre Circuits, and I think another one, Circuit. Yeah, Navarre is, uh, kind of fun. I really like this, uh, this track. This track is free in iRacing, um, which is also good because many rookie people, uh, new people in iRacing go on to drive this track.

Uh, it has really a nice flow, reminds me of, uh, Fuji together with maybe Suzuka and, um, so yeah, it’s, it’s more like Suzuka for me. So this track is really good.

Elz Indriani: I see. Uh uh. [01:19:00] Yeah, I, by far, I’m only planning on buying cars. I’m not planning to get some track, I don’t know. We’ll see. Cause, I don’t know, lately we’ve been having like so many new tracks, we had, I only raced like, I don’t know, three weeks in total in iRacing this season.

I feel like season two is like my kind of part time iRacer era kind of thing, you know what I mean? Yeah.

Which is the MotoGP track? Which one is the MotoGP? Question for you.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Um, Navarro Circuit, so that’s Spain, uh, Spain track, yeah. So they race, I think they race MotoGP here. I think, as I’m aware, yeah.

Elz Indriani: Oh, yeah,

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Zaxxon Ring, we also got Zaxxon Ring.

Elz Indriani: Oh, yeah, I’m looking at it now. Ooh, what track is that? Oh, in German.

Oh, [01:20:00] okay, okay. Yeah. Have you tried this one?

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: No, I didn’t try.

Elz Indriani: Oh, I see. Huh. Interesting.

Interesting, huh. But as I’ve driven it more, I do like the handling. I don’t like how loose the rear car can get though. I see.

Okay, is it worth it to buy a Bicol? Are we going to have like so many race at this track next season? Because I don’t mind doing some road, you know I don’t mind doing some road especially if we are having nis in road course like 10 out of 10 i’m doing it Rico I’m doing it I’m doing it So are you doing some nis?

Or not really you’re not really into it the nis

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Oh, what sorry

Elz Indriani: the are you doing some nis the nascar iracing series [01:21:00]

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Ah, Nascarra Racing Series, uh, well, maybe, maybe we’re going to do some of them. Yeah, because I really enjoy, uh, Coke 600 and, uh, probably we’ll do some other races as well.

Elz Indriani: Oh, I see. But you’re not like, want to do it like every week, every week.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Uh, no, no, definitely. So I’m just, uh, you know, I’m doing Arca, Gen 4, Xfinity, Next Gen sometimes, sometimes that’s Nascar racing series. So yeah, I’m basically doing everything. I want to really want to do street stocks because we got Two additional Street Stalks, which looks really, really cool. I want to try them.

Elz Indriani: I saw that one. I saw that one yesterday. Yeah, that’s same like me, like, I do whatever I like. You know, for like, this, this, this, this. Not like, not like, I want to do NIS. Every week, I don’t know, I can’t. I’m working too, sometimes I’m like, [01:22:00] gone for the weekend. So it’s not like I can do like a lot, a lot of NIS.

The Super Stalks are great. Oh, is it? I haven’t tried it.

Lyubov Ozeretskovskaya: Yeah, just trying to do, you know, races, which I enjoy, which I’m where I’m having fun. Yeah. If, if that’s a like championship, uh, which I’m doing. So this is for example, either a club sports series. Yeah. Here’s, we got like, uh, races every two weeks. So yeah, I’m doing the whole championship here, but, uh, for officials, um, that’s more to have fun, to have fun with the chat on the stream and on the racing track as well.

Elz Indriani: Exactly, that’s what I’m doing in every official. I’m just having fun. I’m just having, I cannot, I cannot wait to get back on streaming, really, like, chilling, doing some silly officials. But, I don’t know, so, Beagle, by the way, I’m having a dilemma. So, this weekend I’ll be streaming. So, I’m planning to stream this weekend, but, [01:23:00] On the other hand, I also want to go to Sonoma because we’ll be having the NASCAR at Sonoma this weekend.
