Hold on.
1:36
Okay, is it better now?
1:38
Is it better now?
1:39
Oh my god.
1:39
Belle, I even messed up the audio on the screen.
1:43
I understand.
1:45
It's probably because I'm here, I've cursed it.
1:47
No, you're not.
1:47
The psychological difficulties have passed to you.
1:51
You're, you are, you are a blessing in this community, Belle.
1:54
Seriously.
1:55
You want me to send my husband over?
1:56
He'll fix it.
1:58
Your husband is the technical.
2:00
guy behind everything.
2:02
Oh, is it better?
2:03
Okay, awesome.
2:05
So I was using, okay, so guys, long story short I just come back from
2:09
Chicago for the NASCAR Chicago, so this is my first day turning on my PC.
2:16
So if something mess up, please understand.
2:18
Okay?
2:18
I just don't know.
2:21
So by the way, Val, how you doing today?
2:25
Very good, very good.
2:27
Very good.
2:28
Have you had a good day?
2:29
So, how's it going?
2:30
Like, how's SimRacing?
2:32
And, how is streaming?
2:35
Uh, pretty good.
2:36
It's pretty mellow.
2:37
I actually like streaming a lot more than I thought I would.
2:41
Especially for being, like, quite shy.
2:45
I enjoyed it a lot more than I ever thought I would.
2:47
And the community that it's made.
2:50
Very nice.
2:51
So how long you've been doing this?
2:53
Streaming and SimRacing.
2:57
I've been doing it since about 2020, almost, maybe?
3:03
I took a break for like six months in the middle there, but right
3:06
around 2020 is when I started.
3:09
Oh wait, so you've been streaming since 2020?
3:13
Yeah, it's been a while.
3:15
A COVID streamer, COVID iRacer, COVID pride.
3:21
High five.
3:21
We are the COVID generation of simracing.
3:26
Hi Sharksboy, Bell is so kind and funny, hacker for Razer.
3:30
I completely agree with you on that.
3:32
By the way, Sharksboy, hello.
3:34
Yes, Bell is one of the best.
3:36
Like, I'm watching your stream sometimes.
3:39
Like, when I'm working, I'll be lurking on your stream.
3:42
Like, I don't know, like, everyday you're doing random stuff.
3:45
Like, sometimes you're doing IMSA, sometimes You did the IMSA Vintage,
3:49
I think, when I was watching you.
3:51
And then you do, I don't know.
3:53
Yeah, that's my favorite.
3:54
I do love Oval, yeah.
3:57
I don't do as much Oval as I used to, but I still like the Draftmasters a lot.
4:01
Why do you like the Draftmasters?
4:03
Oval is so fun, and Dirt Oval is also really fun.
4:06
I like those in the sprint cars.
4:09
Oh yeah, Dirt Oval is so fun, but I never got into it.
4:13
I don't know why.
4:15
It's really fun, it's like a complete different, I started in ovals, I was
4:19
intimidated by roads, and I couldn't, I had a hard time memorizing tracks,
4:24
there's so many left turns and right turns, and the oval was just like
4:28
left, left, left, left, I could do that, I could start there, because
4:31
there's people all around you, and I was worried about touching everybody.
4:36
Small.
4:36
Yeah, oval, I feel like in oval you don't need to memorize the track, but it's
4:42
more like you're focusing on your race.
4:44
Yeah, and like momentum more.
4:47
Yes, momentum.
4:48
It's definitely different.
4:50
It's, it's a different road to road racing, but I feel like you can bring what
4:55
you learned in OVO into, into road racing.
4:58
OVO.
4:58
Yeah.
5:00
Definitely.
5:00
Uh huh.
5:02
Fluffy A5.
5:02
And it's like vice versa, I think, too.
5:05
Yeah.
5:06
So, um.
5:07
Belle's cat would like to be interviewed too.
5:09
Hi!
5:10
Belle's cat!
5:12
This is Ivan.
5:13
Ivan!
5:14
Oh, that's Ivan.
5:15
Hi!
5:16
Oh wait, you have a dog too, right?
5:17
So you have a cat and a dog.
5:19
Oh my god, here's your dog.
5:20
Can we see your dog?
5:22
Oh my god, guys.
5:23
We have specially summoned him.
5:25
Timmy!
5:26
Timmy!
5:29
Fluffy Ivan.
5:30
Yes, Ivan is so fluffy.
5:32
And I wanna see the doggo too now.
5:35
Belle, I'm sorry I put you into work in this interview.
5:38
It's okay.
5:39
It's okay.
5:44
This is Timber.
5:46
Timber, hi!
5:48
Hello!
5:48
Oh my god.
5:48
Oh, got a treat.
5:50
Hi, Timber.
5:50
Hi, Ivan.
5:51
Oh wait, they get along together?
5:53
Like the cat and the dog?
5:54
Um, now, kind of, yeah.
5:57
For the most part.
5:59
They didn't before.
6:01
It took about a year.
6:03
Oh.
6:05
It took about a year for Ivan and Timber to get along.
6:08
So, yeah.
6:10
The cat is still really mean, but Denver is fine.
6:13
You're so mean.
6:15
No.
6:16
Even your profile picture, I think.
6:18
Your profile picture on Twitch.
6:19
Yeah, it's Ivan.
6:21
My new cat.
6:25
Sorry about the Dutch team.
6:26
Oh yeah.
6:27
Wait, what's happening in Europe right now?
6:29
Guys, can you guys give me a little explanation about what is
6:32
happening right now in Europe?
6:34
Like, is it like the Euro?
6:39
I don't know what's happening.
6:40
Oh, soccer?
6:44
Or football?
6:48
I do believe, yes.
6:49
I actually was just playing, um, I don't think they call it FIFA anymore,
6:53
but I was playing the soccer game on.
6:55
Oh yeah?
6:55
Oh yeah?
6:56
I came past with my husband.
6:59
So I think it must be.
7:01
The European Championships football.
7:03
Right, right, right.
7:05
Yeah, it's so Every time I'm checking on social media, like Twitter or
7:09
something, like, we won't have someone talking about it, like, to the
7:12
point, like, what is happening here?
7:14
Like, I thought there's, like, a World Cup happening.
7:19
So, Belle, by the way, um, so, you said that you started streaming.
7:25
Since 2020, so that is pretty much during the pandemic, Emma, and
7:31
what was your first game back then?
7:34
Was, were you like, got into iRacing directly, or?
7:37
I think it was F1, we probably started with, I don't remember if it was
7:42
F1 2018, or 2019, was there a 2019?
7:46
Or if we started with 2020, but it was definitely the F1 game.
7:49
Oh.
7:50
And we had our driving lines on and everything, and we were just
7:52
playing with the controller.
7:54
Mhm.
7:55
And then we saw, uh, I think Jimmy Broadbent and, like,
7:58
Matt Malone on YouTube.
8:00
My husband likes to watch YouTube videos of people and, uh, saw them racing
8:04
with the actual wheels and he was like, Oh boy, I think we should try this.
8:09
I think we should get a wheel.
8:10
Yeah, I think we should try this and I was like, okay, but you have
8:14
to put it away every day because it takes up a lot of room Yeah, and
8:18
I don't think we put it away ever
8:22
We bought a new one, a bigger one, moved it into the middle of the room
8:29
That's my biggest problem with simracing, cause simracing takes a lot of space,
8:35
like I don't need a lot of space I think that's the downside to me speaking
8:42
about simracing, but other than that, I never regret my decision about
8:46
getting into simracing, like, really.
8:50
Same.
8:51
So much joy has come from it.
8:52
Mm hmm.
8:53
Yeah, it is.
8:53
So much fun.
8:55
It is.
8:55
And, were you, like, I don't know, like, How did you get
9:00
into iRacing at some point?
9:02
Because you're starting from F1 game and you said like I think just watching
9:07
the other streamers on YouTube.
9:08
My husband found the game and Oh I think we just tried it.
9:13
Mm hmm.
9:14
He had an account just for himself and I was like, Oh, this kind of looks fun.
9:21
And eventually had to get it for myself.
9:23
Uh huh, you got your own subscription, and then you just, uh Uh huh, which was
9:27
kind of nice, he knew all the things I already, like, the tracks that I liked,
9:31
and the cars I like to practice in, so We bought all that stuff at once and
9:35
got him at, like, I can't remember, the 50 piece club or something of iRacing?
9:40
Oh!
9:40
Yeah, we committed.
9:41
Wow, you're fully committed to iRacing.
9:44
Yeah.
9:45
I just found a resale.
9:47
You just wanna race, huh?
9:49
Interesting, and it got me to another question.
9:51
So, were you coming from, like, a motorsport family,
9:54
like, family who's into racing?
9:57
Not at all.
9:58
My family is, like, not into sports at all, not into racing.
10:02
Uh, my dad would play video games with me when I was little, but,
10:07
really not into sports anybody.
10:11
I really like video games.
10:13
I think I'm probably, I just played volleyball in high school and that's
10:16
really, I'm not that into sports either.
10:19
I like to participate in them.
10:21
That's the only sport that you do?
10:24
Yes, I did track and field, but yeah.
10:27
Volleyball really was the main sport I did.
10:31
Racing.
10:32
Right, right.
10:33
And what makes you love racing?
10:35
Like, what makes you really into sim racing?
10:39
What makes it fun?
10:40
It's like really adrenaline y. It's so fun.
10:43
You race with other people, but it's also against yourself, which I really like.
10:47
I love beating my old times.
10:49
I like besting myself.
10:52
I also like seeing, um, how all the people, like different people around the
10:57
world, you can race with all of them.
10:58
iRacing is just so cool like that.
11:01
I was thinking about the old games that I would play on the Xbox with my dad and
11:04
you just play like, Side by side with your friends and stuff and now you can
11:09
play with people across the world and like 30 different people Real people, not AI.
11:14
It's crazy.
11:15
It's still hard for me to believe that they're all real They're all real?
11:19
Yeah, it's so cool Well, Belle, if we are on the same split one day racing,
11:26
you will see me racing like an AI.
11:27
Don't worry, you will meet your first AI ever We've all been
11:31
there Hi, by the way, Aaron!
11:34
Aaron!
11:34
Transmission!
11:35
Oh my god!
11:37
Ash!
11:37
Hi, guys!
11:38
Hi!
11:39
Welcome to the 13th episode of In It Talks with me, Elf, and my dear friend, Belle.
11:45
So, we all know it's just one of her many personalities.
11:50
Brian.
11:50
So, Brian is the other personality, I see.
11:57
Hi, guys.
11:57
How are you doing?
11:58
Love you, guys.
11:59
Thanks for hanging today.
12:01
Finally, I'm back.
12:02
So, yes, last week, we didn't have, we didn't have an in it talk last
12:07
week because it was the 4th of July.
12:09
I was literally inviting Belle, like, Belle, let's do it on Thursday.
12:14
And Belle was like, like, cool.
12:16
Cool.
12:17
That's a really great idea, Els.
12:19
And I look into the calendar and I was like, Jesus, okay, 4th of July.
12:24
We had to postpone the interview because everybody's going out, you know.
12:31
When did you get back from the NASCAR in Illinois?
12:34
When was that?
12:35
Um, yesterday.
12:37
Oh my gosh.
12:38
Yeah, I literally just got back.
12:41
So I kinda extend my stay in Chicago, like meeting people and stuff, so yeah.
12:48
But it was so fun.
12:49
Have you ever get into the NASCAR race before?
12:53
Never?
12:54
Never.
12:55
Uh uh.
12:56
I thought about it, we looked into it, and we just never pulled the trigger.
12:59
I would definitely Yeah, I think I would go see something smaller maybe
13:03
to start, but I just don't know.
13:06
Something closer would probably be better, and closest to me is Vegas, I think.
13:11
Is it Vegas or Phoenix, the closest to you?
13:15
Um, pretty equal, really.
13:17
It's probably about six or seven, eight hour drives.
13:21
It's not that bad.
13:23
That's pretty Well, it's very warm.
13:25
Yeah.
13:26
But, I mean, if you want to go to Vegas, I can, I can take you to Vegas.
13:30
There will be another race in Vegas, like, in October, I think.
13:34
NASCAR.
13:34
Yeah, I think that's when it was last year.
13:36
Yeah, so.
13:37
That's when it's not super hot also.
13:40
No, no, no.
13:40
I would never go to Vegas like during the August, July.
13:44
It's so crazy.
13:45
Yeah, in the summer.
13:46
Yeah, summertime is hot.
13:49
Too hot to be outside.
13:51
Do you get a heatwave in Utah?
13:53
Oh, by the way guys, Belle is from Utah.
13:54
Uh, right now, yes I am.
13:57
Right now, for sure, it's definitely hot, like a hundred degrees, I think
14:01
tomorrow's gonna be a hundred and one, and the next day, and then it cools down.
14:04
Oh, Jesus, that's crazy.
14:06
Yeah, it's hot.
14:07
It's like being a body of water or inside.
14:11
It feels like you're like simracing in the oven, like crazy hot.
14:17
Yeah, sim racing in the summer feels much sweatier than the winter.
14:21
I'm ready for the winter to come back.
14:22
Yeah.
14:23
I'd say that's a downside of sim racing too.
14:25
True.
14:26
It's very hot in the summertime.
14:28
I just, I just noticed that when I moved to California.
14:31
Because in Chicago we don't really have that.
14:34
Like, it's not really hot in Chicago.
14:36
So, I never got this kind of struggle in my life.
14:38
And then I moved to California.
14:40
Now you're like dripping.
14:42
I was dripping so bad.
14:44
Every time I'm streaming, like, dude, this feels like sitting on a real race car and
14:49
you're like, I don't know, just sweating.
14:52
Okay, it's our practice, Belle.
14:54
It's our practice to become a race car driver for one day.
14:57
Yeah, I was sweating.
14:59
I can't imagine wearing like a helmet and full gear and stuff.
15:03
I can't even wear gloves.
15:04
It makes me too sweaty just thinking about it.
15:06
Yeah, like those Race car drivers are crazy in my opinion, like, yeah, those
15:12
suits and everything, helmets, balaclava.
15:15
And you're sitting in a race car, it's not like you're having an AC inside.
15:19
You don't even have an audio player.
15:21
Adjusting your vent to blow on you.
15:23
Yeah.
15:23
Adjusting.
15:25
That's why I've said like, one day if I become a race car driver, I
15:28
just want a CD player on my car.
15:31
Please let me listen to a song when I'm racing.
15:34
I do love that.
15:35
Some people don't like listening to music when they race.
15:38
I have to.
15:39
Yeah, me too.
15:40
I have to.
15:40
It distracts me in a good way.
15:43
Do you play music sometimes in your stream?
15:45
Um, I don't play it over my stream now.
15:48
I know you can do like a There's a way you can do it so that you
15:52
don't get the copyright strikes, but I've never troubled to find it out.
15:57
Ah.
15:59
Yeah, I played sometimes and sometimes my thought got muted.
16:04
Like, in the middle of the stream or something like that,
16:06
but at this point, I don't care.
16:09
Like, if you want to be Yeah, right, if you don't reach the limit, you're fine.
16:12
Yeah, as long as we're not reaching the limit, we are fine.
16:15
Oh wait, 106 two days ago for you?
16:18
That's crazy!
16:20
I was like, 101 and I already like, you know what?
16:23
I'm gonna turn on the stream now, end the stream, and I'm gonna Time to go.
16:28
Yeah, time to go.
16:30
I need to get a fresh air.
16:31
I'm so crazy.
16:34
All right, so, Val, bye.
16:37
Elves only listen to gangster rap when she drives.
16:40
Yeah, so I can become more brilliant in Dwarf Masters, you know?
16:44
It gets you in the right mood.
16:46
Yeah, the right music for the right race.
16:48
See?
16:49
See?
16:49
As I always Gives you the right mood, the right zone.
16:54
Good music, good mood, good mood, good race, good race, good stream!
16:57
So, yes!
17:00
You understand.
17:02
I understand the assignment here.
17:04
Don't worry, Ash.
17:05
So, by the way, Belle, So, were you like, struggling getting
17:12
into Irising at the first time?
17:13
Or were you like, instantly loving it?
17:17
Uh, I pretty much loved it right off.
17:20
I didn't love it Like, as much as I love it now, it was a slow growth, but
17:24
I definitely was fascinated with it, and I loved, I kind of like crashing,
17:29
but it's kind of a fun thing to do.
17:31
You can't do that in real life.
17:33
I like that you can just be reckless, like, recklessly fast and try stuff,
17:37
but then also, in the races with people, it's like, you just tone it down.
17:43
I tone it way down in the races.
17:46
I go from, like, wrecking all over the place in practice to, like, Just
17:50
following people very slowly, but I like that you can try all of it there and
17:54
iRacing and it really all feels so real and now with the rain, it's even better.
17:59
Do you like it, rain?
18:00
It's all so different.
18:01
Yeah, it is.
18:03
I don't know.
18:03
I still struggle.
18:04
I don't, I don't feel confident driving in the rain in all visuals, yeah?
18:09
Cause, I don't know, like, it's weird.
18:12
It is scary.
18:13
And it's different in every car.
18:15
Like, I was just in a Mazda race the other day and I didn't expect it to be raining.
18:21
It was not what I remembered the other cars feeling like in the rain.
18:25
The Mazda felt completely different.
18:28
Very spinny.
18:29
I love that it's also different.
18:33
Belle is the happiest I've ever seen when she wrecked or got wrecked.
18:37
Were you happy?
18:39
Like, super happy?
18:42
Do you like actually enjoy it?
18:44
Because some people kinda, not like afraid, but they get stressed out when
18:48
they're losing eye rating, safety rating.
18:50
Yeah, I don't get stressed out about the eye rating loss.
18:53
If I like reckon to another human person and they're mad,
18:57
or if it's bad and I feel bad.
18:59
Really murdered them, makes me feel bad, that's when I don't feel good.
19:04
But if I'm just like, wrecked myself or made a mistake,
19:07
no biggie, I can try again.
19:09
I learned my lesson.
19:11
That's the best way for me to learn lessons, is crashing my car.
19:14
Yeah, sometimes you have to take a risk.
19:16
Like, yeah.
19:18
I think my problem is like, I don't really Brave enough?
19:23
I don't, I'm not brave enough to take risks.
19:25
That's how I feel in races.
19:26
I'm too scared to take risks in the races because I don't want to upset anyone.
19:30
I don't want to break the car.
19:31
Exactly.
19:32
I don't want to upset everyone or I don't want someone to
19:36
report me to sign a report.
19:39
Yeah.
19:40
Or like ruin somebody's day.
19:41
I don't want to ruin anyone's day.
19:43
I want everyone to have fun.
19:45
Yeah, me too, but sometimes accidents happen, so I ruin someone's day sometimes.
19:49
Oh yeah, they pulled me before.
19:52
Days have been ruined.
19:56
I only got mad on the internet.
19:58
Yeah, I mean, of course, Belle, I was racing in IMSA, okay?
20:01
We were in the formation lab, okay?
20:03
I, I was pretty confident with my result.
20:07
Like, oh yeah, I got this.
20:09
And I got disconnected!
20:10
Like Oh no!
20:12
Of course I'm mad, Ash.
20:14
Of course.
20:14
It's a good one.
20:16
Of course.
20:17
It's like, oh my god.
20:19
So, what's your favorite series in iRacing?
20:22
Like, I saw you doing a lot of Insa, so I'm assuming you, the Multicars.
20:28
I'm actually, I'm really afraid of Multiclass.
20:31
But that's a new love of mine, the fast cars and Multiclass,
20:35
because it's very exciting.
20:36
It makes the races go by super fast.
20:39
I also love P Cup.
20:41
Probably.
20:42
That's my favorite car, so maybe my, I don't know if it's my favorite
20:45
series, but I like to drive that car.
20:48
I really like all the series.
20:49
I like to do Draftmaster, Ringmeister is, oh, I love it.
20:53
Yes.
20:53
I feel like that was made for me.
20:54
I love, I love it.
20:57
It's so fun.
20:57
It's really fun this week too.
20:59
Have you ever, speaking of Rally.
21:02
And crashing.
21:04
Have you ever tried the Mount Washington track on iRising?
21:08
Yes, I did.
21:09
I did a dirt, like, yeah, like the softbox race kind of thing, like with the skidder.
21:13
You're just going downhill, like, oh my god, that's super fun.
21:17
That's super fun.
21:18
I'm very obsessed with that right now.
21:20
For some reason, I like crashing down the mountain, like, Crashing
21:23
down the mountain, because, I get it.
21:25
Just going as fast as you can, and sometimes you don't make the corner,
21:28
but when you do and you, like, hit the apex, it's, It's so fun.
21:32
It feels so fun.
21:34
It's super, super fun.
21:36
Yeah, there's a lot of things you can do in Andersen.
21:39
Like, you're not just doing the GT3 race, like the sports car, in road course.
21:44
You can do a lot of things.
21:45
Even just going down the mountains.
21:47
Like, you can do that.
21:49
And the time attacks and stuff.
21:51
Sometimes I like to just drive as a ghost in the top splits and
21:55
follow the fast people and see how fast it takes me to, right?
22:01
Trying to keep up.
22:02
Right, I mean, so you did some practice sometimes, like, you're driving as a ghost
22:08
in the top split, and how did you see yourself, like, if you compare yourself
22:13
to the boys, to the guys in the top split?
22:16
Uh, I feel way slower.
22:19
I feel way slower, and I can, like, kind of mimic what they're doing for a little
22:22
bit if I'm right behind them, but I think there's a lot of stuff I don't I don't
22:27
understand, like, the techniques, and I don't know, the, like, details of racing,
22:33
it takes me a longer time to grasp.
22:35
I feel like my husband understood Apex a lot quicker than me.
22:39
I'm still looking for him.
22:42
Your husband understands Apex more?
22:45
I mean, sim racing, I feel like sim racing is not easy, as in like, it takes
22:49
a lot of time for you to actually learn.
22:52
Yeah, there's a lot of details like trail breaking and stuff that took me a long
22:57
time to understand and like oversteer and understeer and all the little like lingo
23:02
and It's just bit by bit as you learn it.
23:05
It's very a slow growth.
23:08
Yeah Do you see yourself as a fast learner like you're fast at
23:13
learning some things in synthesis or?
23:15
Do you feel like it takes more time for you to learn new things?
23:19
Uh, I think it depends on the, it depends.
23:22
Some things I'm faster at learning, and some things it
23:24
takes me a longer time to grasp.
23:27
If that makes sense, like, Like, uh, it takes me a long time to memorize
23:31
the left and rights of a turn, but, like, the feeling of a car and having
23:35
it, uh, like, I cannot describe this.
23:40
Like, the weight transfer, I feel like I understand that in my, in my body more.
23:46
And I just, the logistics of, like, left and right of a track and when to
23:52
accelerate, that's a little bit harder.
23:55
Yeah, um, for me But, like, some things are much easier to grasp.
23:59
Memorizing the track can be a challenge for me.
24:03
That's so hard for me.
24:04
Yeah.
24:05
Like, but I just think it makes everything feels natural.
24:09
Speaking about driving, that's how I feel.
24:12
Like, you can actually feel your tires.
24:13
And that's what I like in a sim.
24:15
Bye.
24:17
I need to feel my tires, and sometimes in other sims I don't really feel
24:20
it, so it doesn't feel natural to me.
24:24
Like, I need to try harder in other games, but in iRacing, I need to try sometimes.
24:30
I can be a tryhard, but iRacing the sim itself really help you to
24:36
understand things, that's how I see it.
24:38
Mhm.
24:39
Oh, by the way, Luka!
24:42
Hi, Luka.
24:43
Hi, welcome in.
24:45
Welcome to Indie Talks.
24:46
And yes, Tor Malina is the one who raced in the Porsche E Cup Superstars All Stars.
24:51
Oh my god!
24:53
Oh my god, we need to talk about it.
24:54
I got the, I got the topic in my mind.
24:57
Like, we need to talk about it.
24:59
Bel, how was it?
25:02
The Porsche E Cup.
25:03
Like, you were racing with a lot of big streamers, a lot of pro gamers.
25:09
That still makes me nervous just thinking about it.
25:12
That is crazy.
25:13
It made me a lot better though.
25:16
Talking about sponging people, I felt like I sponged some of them.
25:21
It helps to watch good people race.
25:25
Which makes sense.
25:26
It's like learning.
25:28
So, how was it?
25:29
How was the race?
25:30
And, tell me more about it.
25:32
Like, how did you get into the Porsche?
25:35
Like, did like, uh, contact you?
25:38
Or like, how on earth?
25:39
Yeah.
25:40
They con I think they had somebody, a couple people drop
25:44
out before the season started.
25:46
And then they contacted a couple streamers to fill in the gaps.
25:50
And I was one of them.
25:51
Surprisingly.
25:52
I was like, are you guys sure?
25:53
Have you seen me race?
25:54
I'm like, I could be a 600 iRating, I could be a 2000
25:57
iRating, it depends on the week.
26:00
It depends on the week.
26:03
It depends on the week.
26:04
And, but, you took the, you took the opportunity.
26:07
Yeah, I'm so glad I did.
26:09
It made me so nervous.
26:11
I think it's good to do things that scare you, though.
26:14
This thing makes me nervous, too.
26:15
It's not that bad.
26:16
It's not as bad as the Yeah, I mean The Portia All Stars,
26:21
but it still makes me nervous.
26:23
But I think it's good for you to I like doing things that scares me.
26:27
You like doing things that scares you.
26:29
That's a really good point, like, yeah.
26:32
You like to decorate, basically, though.
26:34
Yes, I feel like that leads to growth, usually.
26:39
Cause, seeing you, I see you as a unique girl.
26:44
I don't know how to put that into words, like, I can see that you're a
26:48
bit shy, like, Shy in a cute way, okay?
26:51
Like, I see you, like, every time I'm watching you streaming,
26:53
like, Oh, she's so cute.
26:54
Like, you're like shy, but on the other hand, you're also like brave
26:59
enough to crash to take a risk.
27:01
So, I don't know, for me, you got the personality that what
27:06
every streamer got to have.
27:08
Like, you're having fun in your stream.
27:10
It doesn't matter whatever they're doing.
27:11
Yeah, I feel like fun matters.
27:14
It is.
27:15
It is, like, really, like, you're amazing just the way you are, Belle.
27:20
Like, really.
27:20
You're so nice.
27:23
That's why I feel when I come to your stream, you're just having fun.
27:25
I swear you're always in Draftmaster when I read you.
27:30
I'm kind of avoiding it now, Belle.
27:32
I got traumatized by Draftmaster.
27:35
I've been there.
27:36
I took a break.
27:38
It's just, well, Draftmaster is great if you want to learn how to drafting.
27:42
Like, yeah, okay, the race is not long, 20 laps.
27:45
But Yeah, it's like trial by fire.
27:47
You're like, you gotta learn this, and you gotta learn it quick.
27:49
There's no yellows.
27:50
It's all, you gotta go now.
27:52
Yeah, go.
27:54
Don't use your brain, otherwise you'll get busted.
27:56
Yeah, never live.
27:57
Never live.
28:00
What is a yellow?
28:01
What is a yellow?
28:02
Yellow doesn't exist.
28:03
But, right now, I'm getting more into the A class phase, I think.
28:07
I'm getting into NIS a lot.
28:09
Have you heard?
28:10
Oh, fun.
28:10
I used to love those.
28:12
With the pit stops, it really can like change the strategy, especially
28:16
with the, like, I'm not as aggressive like we were talking about, and
28:20
uh, that helped with my oval a lot.
28:22
That was like playing into my strategy of gentle, gentle tire wear and no wrecks.
28:30
No wrecks, yeah.
28:31
It really teach me about taking care of my tires.
28:34
Like you really do it when you're like.
28:36
Killing your tires.
28:37
Yeah.
28:37
And the ovals.
28:38
Yeah.
28:38
And you're like drifting up towards the wall . Oh yeah.
28:41
So this car never turn.
28:42
This car doesn't like to turn like Yeah.
28:44
It really teach you about driving a broken car.
28:48
That's how I feel.
28:49
Oval.
28:49
Like my cars.
28:50
Oh.
28:50
I also like doing that.
28:52
I don't mind driving with a meatball.
28:54
Sometimes it's fun to see like how the cars break and the ones
28:57
that are completely undrivable.
28:59
Yeah.
29:01
You're not gonna drive a broken car in real life, but it's weird to.
29:04
I wonder, I'm curious how realistic it is, feeling like artful to the right, when you
29:11
smash into the wall and get wheel damage.
29:15
Oh wait, um, you've got to change an alternator in my charger.
29:19
Ooooooh.
29:21
Good luck have fun, by the way.
29:22
Good luck have fun!
29:24
Thank you so much for hanging.
29:25
Thank you.
29:26
And, well, by the way, ah, just, so, how is it like back again to
29:33
the Porsche, to the Porsche event?
29:36
When was it?
29:37
Uh, I think that was Was it like, beginning of the year?
29:41
That was like, I think it ended around February, maybe?
29:45
Or March?
29:47
Oh!
29:48
In the winter, maybe?
29:50
And then there was like, Twitch Rivals.
29:51
A lot happened all at once for me there.
29:53
It all kind of blurred together.
29:55
Mm hmm, mm hmm.
29:58
And Wait, um, so you were racing with Love46, Matt Brody.
30:03
Yes, yes, and Emery.
30:06
Oh yeah, Emery too, oh my god.
30:09
She's, she's crazy.
30:10
It's kind of like, both of them is like, they're so good.
30:14
They're so good.
30:15
They're so fast.
30:17
Emery, Emery is so good.
30:19
Like, she's so good.
30:20
She's good at everything.
30:21
She knows a lot about cars.
30:23
I don't really know anything about cars.
30:24
I just like to drive them.
30:26
Huh, yeah, me neither.
30:28
I don't know a lot of the cars, but I think Emery, Emery is like, I think she's
30:34
racing in real life too, like sometimes.
30:36
Is she?
30:36
Yeah, she is.
30:37
Oh, that's so cool.
30:38
Uh huh.
30:39
That is, oh, that's so cool too about iRacing, like Swaleo.
30:42
Oh.
30:43
And he, how he made the transition to real life racing and watching him do that.
30:47
Mm hmm.
30:47
It is so fun.
30:48
I'm like, proud of him.
30:49
I'm so proud watching him.
30:51
And he's doing really great.
30:54
He's doing so good.
30:56
Jesus, like, every time you see him, you see his race result, like,
31:00
on social media, on everything.
31:02
You will see him in the podium, or he will be I know, it surprises
31:05
me when it's not a podium.
31:07
It's, yeah.
31:08
It's just the guy racing now.
31:10
Yeah, I'm, Swellio, he's really good.
31:12
I got his He's really good.
31:14
I got his online course, like, I bought it, like, last year.
31:18
Yes, yes.
31:19
And it really helps.
31:20
It's, he got a really good It really does.
31:23
He has like the details that I was talking about that my brain just I don't
31:26
even think about that stuff like opening corners and Yeah, he talks about it.
31:31
Very helpful.
31:31
There's all kinds of YouTube videos and There's all kinds of weird resources To
31:37
help you learn how to drive Yeah, so, um, I feel like you can see a lot of
31:43
sim racer going fast But it's not like everybody knows how to teach people
31:50
And Zoelio can do it He knows how to teach people how to coach people.
31:56
I would love to book his coach, like the one-on-one coach one day, like just to
32:02
see if he notice something on my driveway.
32:05
Uhhuh and what to I'm sure he would.
32:06
Yeah.
32:07
I'm sure he would.
32:09
Ah, he will see.
32:11
He will see something that I never seen in my life.
32:13
Like, yeah.
32:15
Oh, by the way, transmission motorsport, thank you so much
32:18
for something to storm Melina.
32:20
Yes, guys.
32:22
If you guys got a lot of free time, on the weekdays, you should turn
32:26
into Stormalina's Twitch channel.
32:28
So, are you streaming everyday, Phil?
32:31
I actually only stream Friday, Saturday, Sunday usually, when my husband's at work.
32:36
I used to not even, we actually started streaming together like way
32:41
back in COVID started and we would be like side by side doing ovals
32:47
and uh he stopped and went back to work and I used to be a nanny and
32:53
I just never really went back to my nanny jobs because the moms were there
32:56
now and I just started raising more.
33:00
I just started raising more.
33:01
So like it's Streaming is like your full time job, or are you still like
33:07
No, I'm a pet sitter and dog walker.
33:10
Dog walker?
33:10
That's my main job.
33:11
Yeah, I do kind of odd jobs all over, but that's my main job.
33:15
Ah, I see.
33:18
Animal lover.
33:19
Oh my god, you really like animals, like, you love them.
33:22
I do.
33:23
I see.
33:24
Yeah, I would do that for free, I'm I would do that for free?
33:27
I'm willing to do this.
33:29
Oh my God.
33:30
I mean, I love pets.
33:32
I really love dogs and cats, but with my schedule, like travelling and stuff,
33:38
I feel like I just don't wanna live.
33:40
Yeah.
33:40
My baby behind, they tie you down.
33:43
Yeah.
33:45
. If I go camping for like one night and I leave Ivan, I'm like, we should go home.
33:49
We should go home.
33:50
Yeah.
33:51
I gotta go home.
33:52
That's make it, that's what makes it hard for me, like to
33:56
actually commit to having a path.
33:59
Because, yeah, I travel a lot to a racetrack, and I don't think it's
34:04
wise to bring your pet to a racetrack.
34:07
Like, I don't know if they'd enjoy that.
34:10
Maybe a dog.
34:12
Can they actually bring a dog to a racetrack?
34:14
That's the question.
34:17
Probably.
34:17
Probably.
34:18
Probably.
34:19
But yeah, that's still my biggest concern about getting a pet, getting
34:24
a new family member, new addition to the family because I travel.
34:29
I'll be your pet sitter.
34:30
Oh my god, I would love to.
34:32
If I knew you live in Utah, I should have visited you during my trip from Illinois
34:38
to Cali because I literally passed Utah.
34:41
I was thinking about maybe I should stay, like me and my family thinking like that.
34:45
Maybe I should stay like, one or two nights in, in Utah, because I love Utah.
34:49
Utah is really pretty.
34:51
Southern Utah has all the national parks too, like Zion and Bryce.
34:55
It's so pretty.
34:56
Utah is pretty.
34:57
Like, even one day if I'm old, and I got this retirement money from the
35:02
government, I'm gonna move to Utah.
35:04
Like, I'm gonna move to Utah and actually enjoy it.
35:06
Like, so pretty.
35:08
It is really pretty and it has snowboarding.
35:10
I love it.
35:11
It has all the seasons of sports and all the fun stuff.
35:14
Oh, no big masks or tracks.
35:17
I actually think they do have a Utah motorsport campus or something which has
35:22
really fast go karts, which I should try.
35:25
Because I've tried the slow go karts at like, uh, family fun centers,
35:30
but I've never done, like, I think these are really fast go karts.
35:34
Oh!
35:34
I can't remember how fast they go, but I think you have to get
35:37
maybe a license or pass a test.
35:39
Which sounds like fun.
35:41
I think you, I, I'm not sure if you need like a certain license for it,
35:45
like I'm not sure, but I think if you want to do it like casually or for fun,
35:50
you can like, you can just go, right?
35:53
I mean, karting, with karting.
35:55
I'll look into it, that would be really fun.
35:58
Yeah, have you tried karting before?
36:01
I've never done super fast karts.
36:03
I've just done like at mini golf centers.
36:06
I think they probably top speed is like 30 miles an hour.
36:09
I'm not sure.
36:10
Right, right.
36:11
But do you want to get into it one day?
36:15
Um, I've never really like had that be my goal, like into real life racing.
36:20
Kind of more go with the flow.
36:22
I wouldn't say no.
36:23
But I've never really, I've really never even thought about racing until COVID
36:31
and we were racing in the Sims like this.
36:34
Yeah, cause, again, as you said before, like, I didn't even know it was a thing.
36:39
Yeah, like, your family is not into motorsports, not like
36:43
making you into a race car.
36:45
Same as me.
36:46
Yeah.
36:48
Yeah, are you the only one into motorsports in your family?
36:50
Mm hmm.
36:52
The first one, in both sides, my mom and my dad's side, like, I'm
36:56
the only one who got into sim racing, got into, um, motorsports,
37:02
and I would say doing a modern job.
37:05
You know what I mean?
37:06
Like streaming, content creation, and stuff.
37:09
Yeah.
37:10
I'm the first one in the family, so most of the time, I have to explain what
37:15
content creation is to my big family.
37:19
Sometimes it's probably a little rough.
37:21
Yeah.
37:22
I tried explaining, like, streaming to my grandma, and she was just
37:25
like, I don't think I understand it.
37:27
And I was like, okay, we'll try again next time.
37:29
Yeah, we'll try again next time.
37:31
We'll try again.
37:32
It'll sink in eventually.
37:35
Yeah, so that's my job right now.
37:38
Streaming, making a content, and working full time in esports, in gaming industry.
37:44
That's really so cool.
37:46
Do you love it?
37:48
I love it.
37:49
Cause it's really so fun.
37:51
Right now, you're not just learning how to play games, or how to be good in
37:56
video games, but You're learning a lot.
37:58
It's more like you're doing your job as a professional like you're going into
38:02
the meeting every week Yeah, you have like a day job to do like basically
38:08
it's like a not like another job But it's in gaming so you know like and
38:15
you love it, and you're like passionate about it, which makes it feel less It
38:21
doesn't feel like working, you know?
38:22
Like, it's more like, you're having a fun project every week.
38:26
Like, oh, we're doing this!
38:27
Oh, we're doing that!
38:29
Oh, we're doing something cool!
38:30
A fun project, when you're interested in doing what you're doing, learning
38:34
what you're doing, it's great.
38:36
Yeah, that's I like learning, after all, maybe.
38:39
Like, I don't mind struggle, like, in simracing or at my work.
38:44
Okay, just It's kind of torturing my soul, but I love it.
38:49
You know what I mean?
38:51
I understand.
38:53
It's satisfying.
38:55
Yeah, it's satisfying.
38:56
Like, super, super satisfying.
38:58
Like, I love it.
39:00
I love my job.
39:01
Until now.
39:03
That's so great.
39:04
What did you do before?
39:06
I was a graphic designer.
39:09
A UI UX designer.
39:11
I work in UI and graphic designer.
39:14
And then, during the COVID era, I switched my job, I switched my career into a gamer.
39:19
Wow.
39:20
So we are the pandemic baby, very much.
39:23
Yeah, that's a huge change.
39:25
It's a huge change.
39:27
Especially back then, like, you know, like, a lot of people like losing their
39:30
job and stuff during the COVID era.
39:34
And, I was the one who switched jobs.
39:37
So I quit my job.
39:38
Like, I quit myself.
39:40
Nobody fired me.
39:40
That takes bravery.
39:43
That takes a lot of bravery.
39:45
Yeah, but, but then when I started, like, I didn't know the way.
39:50
I didn't know how to get into where I am right now.
39:53
I just hit the like button with five viewers per day.
39:58
Uh huh.
39:59
At that moment.
40:01
Yeah, just doing it.
40:02
I don't know.
40:03
If you ask me, like, how I got into it, like, just press the live
40:07
button, like, almost every day.
40:09
I think that's what I do.
40:11
Hitting the live button and rising, getting into championships, and
40:16
stuff, so, yeah, like, I don't know.
40:20
It is what it is.
40:22
But my mom started to understand.
40:25
My mom started to understand, yeah.
40:28
Like, she likes to tell everyone, like, at her church, and something like,
40:32
Oh yeah, that's my daughter, she went to NASCAR, and, like, That's so cute.
40:37
That's so cute, but again, like, a lot of her church friends, they're
40:41
really like, Oh wait, oh, the racing.
40:43
They're like, what's that?
40:45
Racing, oh, driving cars?
40:47
Oh, is she like driving cars?
40:49
No, she's not driving cars fast.
40:51
Driving cars fast?
40:52
Like, what?
40:54
Yeah, I was like It's kinda, it's kinda unique.
40:58
Trying to explain what's My job, what I do to my big family, like, they're
41:03
like, Oh, you have a very cool job.
41:06
We don't understand, but that sounds very cool.
41:08
I was like, oh yeah, that's cool.
41:10
That's pretty much the response I get if I tell people I stream video games.
41:13
Like, I don't get it, but that's neat.
41:15
Yeah, I don't get it, but that's neat.
41:17
Yep.
41:18
I was like, I feel the same way.
41:20
I feel the same way.
41:21
I don't know what I'm doing.
41:23
I don't get it, but it's neat.
41:25
But it's neat.
41:26
I don't get it.
41:28
So, Belle, are you?
41:30
Thinking about maybe one day you want to get into it, like, as a full time,
41:35
like, do you ever think about gaming as your full time job, or as your career?
41:41
Cause you're shiny, really bright.
41:43
Totally would.
41:44
I would totally stream more.
41:46
I probably still would Petsit forever because I like to be
41:49
around the animals and that really doesn't take too much time.
41:54
But usually on the weekdays it's My husband and I will go snowboarding if
41:58
it's the winter or in summer we'll go camping or paddle boarding or really
42:03
I just go do other things right now.
42:05
But I would definitely, I probably would stream more.
42:10
I don't know.
42:10
I've never, I haven't thought about it too seriously because it kind of just like
42:13
sporadically happened this whole time.
42:16
Just going with the flow.
42:19
My mom thinks about it like that a lot more, and she's like, Maybe
42:23
you should, she like wants to make little emotes and stuff.
42:26
She's so cute.
42:27
She thinks about the, she thinks about my stream more than I do sometimes.
42:32
More than you do.
42:33
Yeah, I mean, aww, that's so cute.
42:36
So, you're coming into Twitch, you're coming into streaming with,
42:40
let's say like, zero plan, like, go with the flow and see how it goes?
42:45
Yeah, pretty much, pretty much.
42:48
I do, I really like racing a lot and I've never thought I would, I don't know.
42:54
Now it's kind of like changed my plans.
42:57
I would definitely do something in racing.
43:00
I really, really do enjoy it.
43:02
Yeah.
43:03
I mean, I can tell you really love playing games, you know, like build up games.
43:08
When you, when you say like, I love playing games.
43:10
I can feel it, and I believe, like, Mekis and everyone who's watched
43:16
your stream can feel the same way.
43:18
Like, yeah.
43:19
She, she loves video games.
43:21
She likes to play them.
43:22
I like to play.
43:23
I like to have fun.
43:24
Yeah, I like to play games.
43:26
I like to play games.
43:29
Yeah, so what's your, what was your highest I rating in Road to Hell?
43:33
Oh, I don't know, maybe 2.
43:37
5. I honestly don't remember.
43:40
There's a chance it's gone up to 2.
43:41
7, but that might be my imagination.
43:45
And then it almost always comes like plummeting back down.
43:48
It's always a track specific combo, like car track combo that I just We'll
43:52
repeat over and over and over that I really really like and then I'll get
43:56
a skewed eye rating and the tracks change and I go somewhere I don't know
44:00
and I'm like don't even know if the track goes left or right and then it
44:04
all equalizes and I come back down.
44:07
It's kind of fun to look at my eye rating graph.
44:09
It's very like a mountain range.
44:12
I think I said that we had this conversation like in the previous info.
44:16
I forgot, was it with Sierra, or was it with Jamie, or was it with Cleo, but
44:21
we were talking about you back then, like, yeah, Stormalina, Belle, I mean,
44:26
you will see her, like, rising up, and then tomorrow, she will, like, drop
44:29
down, but don't worry, she'll get it back, she will get it back, once, yeah,
44:34
she'll, it's not time to worry yet.
44:38
I like it.
44:39
I feel like I don't want to go into a track or the next week
44:43
and have my iRating be like 2.
44:44
7 and then I'm in the top split.
44:46
I like when it comes down because I don't know what I'm doing.
44:49
I don't know the track.
44:50
I need to learn it.
44:51
Put me back in with like the 1k people before you put me in with
44:55
the top split because that's scary.
44:58
Yeah.
44:58
How was it?
44:59
I need to learn it.
45:02
Never, or I barely got into the top split.
45:05
It really depends on the time.
45:07
Were you like hating it, like, in the top split, or?
45:11
I'd get in the top split with weird races.
45:13
Like, sometimes if I couldn't sleep, I'd do a Ringmeister late at night.
45:18
And it would be like single split or something.
45:20
Or P Cups at a weird track.
45:22
Or, um, the Cleos in the PCC are usually top split.
45:26
Or the Mustangs used to be top split.
45:30
You really do.
45:33
I was scared.
45:34
I'm I, I do like to do everything.
45:36
Everything.
45:37
Like, don't, here's the correct example of using this, using your
45:42
Irising subscription in the right way.
45:44
Do everything.
45:45
Don't just do one.
45:46
Try everything.
45:47
Wreck everything.
45:49
Yeah, everything.
45:51
Win everything.
45:52
And win everything.
45:54
Yeah.
45:55
. So that's a slope.
45:56
Progress , I feel.
45:58
But you've got your first win in Irisy, right?
46:00
You've got it, yes.
46:02
Yeah, my first win was on Nords life.
46:04
I think it was maybe either in an NEC or just, uh, the life
46:10
itself, Nords life itself.
46:12
And it was in a peak up, I think it was an NEC.
46:16
It took me a long time to win a road race.
46:18
Yeah, me too.
46:19
I just, I just won mine like one week ago, so I think I like Oh really?
46:24
Yeah.
46:24
Were you driving?
46:28
Yeah, that's like how long it took me to get my road one.
46:32
Yeah, my road, I don't even know back then when I just bored, I cannot sleep.
46:37
So I just turn on my PC and see how it goes.
46:39
Oh, oh, what's this?
46:41
A new track?
46:42
Okay, I'm gonna try.
46:43
And then, um, and then I was like bleeding by two seconds.
46:48
I don't even know how did I?
46:51
Like, I was leading the quali by 2 seconds, started in pole, winning it.
46:56
I mean, I was like, oh, is this even real?
46:59
Is that even me?
47:00
So I was that good on the stream?
47:02
Like, maybe I should stop streaming and focus on my race more.
47:10
If you're not ranking, are you even trying?
47:12
That's a good question.
47:13
That's a good point, Ash.
47:14
That's a good point, Ash.
47:17
I mean, if you're not crashing it I mean, I don't I'm not encouraging
47:23
everyone to crash in the race, but sometimes you have to.
47:26
That's how I learn in practices, and that's how I learn my worst lessons.
47:29
I'm like in first or something, and you go around a corner too fast,
47:32
and then you bend it, and you're like, okay, let's not do that again.
47:36
I've learned my lesson.
47:39
Learning from our mistakes, yeah.
47:43
I've heard this else person is like a professional driver.
47:46
Yes, I do, Matthew.
47:48
Hi.
47:49
Welcome.
47:50
Pro, pro NASCAR driver.
47:52
I don't know if you guys see it, but yeah, I was playing a
47:55
NASCAR video in the background.
47:56
But, it's on pause.
47:58
It's on pause.
47:59
I need to turn it back, but who cares.
48:02
Hi, by the way, Matthew.
48:04
Hi.
48:06
I think that Stormalina person has the most laughs around Lords.
48:09
Yeah, she does a lot of Lords.
48:11
You don't know.
48:13
I've only been here for a short time.
48:15
Some people have like, 14 years.
48:18
I can't believe iRacing has been around that long.
48:21
Oh yeah, they are.
48:23
Like, since 2008, something like that.
48:25
I was, yeah, uh huh.
48:27
I was still in high school.
48:29
I don't even know, like, back in the day when you, when iRacing is just
48:33
released to the market, like, do you guys even play with a steering wheel?
48:38
Yeah, were they playing with wheels?
48:40
I was just wondering that.
48:41
When I was playing on the Xbox, like, Need for Speed and stuff, I
48:45
had the Mad Catz steering wheel that was, like, this big and it was tiny.
48:48
And you'd, like, bolt it to the table.
48:51
It was so small.
48:52
Uh huh.
48:53
Yeah.
48:53
Don't force feedback, but it was entertaining.
48:56
Yeah, I mean, that's how we all I got introduced to racing games, to city
49:00
racing, from the arcade game, from Need for Speed, from Forza, from Gran Turismo.
49:06
I think I started from Gran Turismo.
49:10
Is that what you started in?
49:11
I've never had a Playstation, so I've never played it.
49:13
But it sounds really, people love it.
49:16
Like, very dear to their hearts.
49:18
Gran Turismo is like, one of the The gateway game.
49:22
Like, yeah, that's That's how most people got into racing games,
49:25
either from Forza or Gran Turismo.
49:29
Like, the console people play Gran Turismo.
49:32
It's like the I must say, like, Gran Turismo is like the main
49:35
game, like the official game.
49:37
So every time PlayStation is, like, releasing the console, we will have, like,
49:41
this Gran Turismo game, like the official.
49:43
So, yeah, that's how I got into it.
49:46
But, now I don't know how to play Gran Turismo anymore.
49:50
Like, I dunno how to play anymore.
49:53
Like do you just do iRacing for the most part now?
49:56
Yeah, I do.
49:57
And a bit of F1, like right now I'm competing Inri speed Summer Cup.
50:02
So in speed.
50:04
We are now having it in iRacing in, um, I saw that.
50:09
Yeah.
50:10
And Grand Tomo.
50:11
Yes, in grand too.
50:13
So we're trying our best to cover every platform, so, you know, because.
50:18
Yeah, we have a, we have a loyal fan base in iRacing, like, we have a bunch of
50:23
people, like, a bunch of girls racing in iRacing, but in Gran Turismo, so we are,
50:28
we want to, you know, get into it, like, finding more girls, and hopefully they
50:32
can grow, get into iRacing, and hopefully put her in, in a real race car one day.
50:39
Yeah, make the transition.
50:41
I would love to put you in a race car one day.
50:44
That would be so crazy, I can't even imagine.
50:47
Oh my god, I wish I knew you, like, a lot earlier than now.
50:52
Cause, one or two years ago, I think it was like, two years ago?
50:56
No, one.
50:57
So, Screen2Speed, the first Screen2Speed, we were having
51:00
it in Las Vegas more speedily.
51:02
Oh yeah, it was like, crazy big, with Pennzoil, and it was like, I think
51:09
they made a documentary about it.
51:11
Yes, and we were on the front page of Twitch, also the broadcast, everything.
51:15
That's so crazy.
51:17
And the winner got a chance to drive the Porsche in real life.
51:21
Oh my god!
51:22
That's your favorite car, right?
51:24
That's your favorite car, right?
51:27
I think that probably is my favorite car.
51:29
Yeah, so we really hope that one day we will have another
51:32
event like that, like during the NASCAR event or even during IMSA.
51:36
So I would love to have you back.
51:38
You have to wait it out.
51:39
Yeah, just let me know.
51:42
I'll let my pet sitting clients know.
51:45
Yes, I mean, I would love to see you, like, actually racing a real race car.
51:51
If you like the course, maybe one day you'll drive the course.
51:55
And I would love to hear it from you, like, is there anything that
51:59
you learned in the simulator that I mean, that's the feeling that I
52:04
want to, I want to feel one day.
52:06
Um, I don't know.
52:07
I feel like, honestly, the thing that I've taken from sim racing is accident
52:11
avoidance, which is like I mean, just, like, someone's parked or a mail
52:17
truck will swerve out in the middle of the road and you're just like, With,
52:20
like, natural reactions, you don't even, like, even notice, and I was
52:23
like, That felt like Draft Mastery.
52:26
And, like, moments like that in real life can be scary because it really
52:29
just takes one second to, like, I don't know, someone's texting and
52:33
you don't see it, and then you get in a big car accident, and so sad.
52:37
But, I feel like, Iracing has helped me with reactions to stuff like that.
52:41
Even just like, on my feet too, I notice things.
52:45
Like, I notice accidents that maybe could happen.
52:49
Like if I'm walking dogs and I see, uh, cars driving weird, like
52:53
I saw a tire fall off of a car.
52:55
I just feel like I notice weird things now.
52:57
I pay attention to cars more than I'm used to.
53:01
I see cars that are like, I didn't even used to look at cars.
53:04
I'm like, ooh, that's a cool car now.
53:05
I, I recognize cars now from the service, like little touring cars.
53:11
Oh, I also love touring cars.
53:12
Those are fun to drive.
53:13
Oh, you like it?
53:15
Huh.
53:15
I got the car, but I never really got into it.
53:18
Is it like super fun?
53:20
Yeah, they're really fun.
53:21
They're different, a whole different thing.
53:24
Yeah.
53:24
The Clios are fun too in that way.
53:26
I don't have the Clio.
53:29
I don't know, like, cause if, I was thinking like, if I wanna
53:32
drive the Clio, I already, I already got the touring cars, like.
53:36
The Honda and everything so I feel like Yeah, I was like I like the Elantra Oh,
53:42
you like it, huh I got both of them but I never really like got into it I actually
53:50
end up driving those for endurance races a lot with, uh Some of my chat people
53:56
from Twitch that I've become friends with And I like the, the touring cars are fun
54:02
for endurance because you're the slower class, you know It's less Press for me
54:06
because everyone's going around you.
54:08
Yeah, you're just waiting for everyone to pass you.
54:10
I think that's Hopefully.
54:12
Hopefully they make it into the corner.
54:14
Hopefully and not rear end you.
54:15
Yeah.
54:16
Hopefully the faster class will pass.
54:20
Yeah, I think for me, after I'm getting into the multi class, uh,
54:23
racing, I'll pick the slowest car because I haven't got any experience
54:28
driving, like, the prototype.
54:31
Yeah.
54:32
I just don't want to kill anyone.
54:34
I know, it's a bad feeling.
54:36
I don't like that feeling.
54:37
I like to avoid it as well.
54:39
Yeah, me too.
54:41
What do you mean I'm causing the chaos, Ash?
54:44
I never cause a chaos!
54:46
She would never.
54:49
The real OG will remember the Mario Kart split screen battle mode.
54:53
Oh my god, I kinda miss Oh my god, Mario Kart.
54:58
I kinda miss having like, that feeling, you know?
55:00
Like, playing video games with a Playing a racing game with a split screen.
55:04
I love it.
55:06
I love the online competition right now, but sometimes I just miss the old days.
55:11
I know, like local co op and yeah.
55:14
Sitting side by side with your friend holding a controller.
55:17
It's a fun feeling.
55:19
Yeah, yeah.
55:20
That's what I like.
55:22
Sometimes I feel like racing games, you have to enjoy it.
55:26
And sometimes you want to enjoy it for yourself.
55:28
And sometimes you want to enjoy it with your family.
55:31
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
55:34
Have you had your mom try or any of your family try your rig and
55:37
stuff like try and drive any?
55:39
Is it hilarious?
55:41
Yeah, I, my dad, um, I, my dad tried out my sim setup, so
55:46
he was like trying to drive.
55:47
But what I noticed sometimes, like, when people driving, like, when people who
55:53
doesn't come into racing games and they try to drive a simulator, they will turn
55:57
their wheels, like, in real life, you know, like, And sometimes it's like, no,
56:03
you have to like, Put it like minimum.
56:05
Oh, this is minimum?
56:07
No, no, that's still a little bit too much.
56:09
Oh, you know, it's so fun to watch like people trying out their sim setup.
56:14
It's so fun.
56:15
Like, oh yeah.
56:15
It really is.
56:17
Like, is this what I used to look like when I tried?
56:22
That looks like me in the beginning.
56:24
So, okay.
56:25
Yeah, it's okay.
56:26
We got hopes.
56:27
Everybody got hopes in sim racing as long as they're trying.
56:30
It's easy to get hooked.
56:32
It's a fun thing to get hooked on.
56:34
He wants to use all the nine hundred, yeah, ten eighty, more
56:37
like ten eighty, decreased rotation, Ash, more like driving the truck.
56:44
So, by the way, Bells, um, I got another question for you.
56:48
So, you get into streaming, you're streaming since the pandemic era,
56:52
have you ever got into, like, some kind of awful situation?
56:58
For example, like, getting into, I don't know, some toxic people, getting touched?
57:03
Um.
57:04
When I, I think actually one of the first multi class races I did,
57:08
I, I definitely wrecked somebody.
57:12
It was a bad move.
57:13
I said sorry.
57:15
But they found my stream after and they definitely weren't nice.
57:19
Uh, my moderators were quick.
57:22
They left.
57:23
No big deal.
57:24
And that was it.
57:25
Honestly, that's like the worst thing that's ever happened to me
57:28
on Twitch and it wasn't that bad.
57:32
I'm honest.
57:32
I'm so shocked that it has been So much more positive
57:36
than I ever expected it to be.
57:38
I'm very pleasantly surprised.
57:41
Yeah, I mean, I, if you look into some, I don't know, some articles, some
57:48
videos on internet, on YouTube, you will see like a lot of streamers getting
57:51
like, An awful experience on Twitch.
57:55
Something like that.
57:56
Yeah.
57:56
I've seen, yeah.
57:57
I've definitely seen it happen to some streamers and like, it doesn't matter if
58:00
you're a big streamer or a small streamer.
58:02
Yeah.
58:03
I've seen it happen to a lot of people.
58:05
Mm-hmm . I don't think anybody's immune, yeah.
58:08
Happened to me.
58:09
It hasn't, like I really am surprised that it hasn't been more issues.
58:14
Like I think I can count on one hand the number of mm-hmm . moments
58:18
of people coming in my chat.
58:21
Right.
58:21
Really, people are very nice.
58:23
I'm quite glad.
58:24
Awww.
58:25
Mekis, do you hear that?
58:27
Mekis, Ash, thank you so much to all of you here, who's tuning to InidTalks
58:32
and also to our stream, Belle and mine, like, yeah, thank you for
58:37
keeping us happy and safe on Twitch.
58:40
Like, thank you for creating a, thank you for being nice to us.
58:44
Right.
58:45
It's nice to have a good chat.
58:46
It's nice to have, yeah.
58:48
It's nice to have a good chat.
58:49
My chat will, like, cheer me up and just spend four hours telling me jokes.
58:53
It's really just a fun time, usually.
58:56
Haha, yeah.
58:58
Yeah, there will always be a negative person online where
59:02
they can hide behind a keyboard.
59:03
Yeah, true.
59:04
I mean, you cannot control people in the end.
59:06
Like, you cannot expect everyone to behave nicely or Someone with kindness.
59:12
Yeah.
59:13
But, I don't know.
59:14
Most of the time, I'm just like Don't care.
59:17
Like, okay, it's something negative, but you know, there's a
59:21
button, there's a report button.
59:23
I live it.
59:24
Right, yeah.
59:24
Like, I know who I am.
59:26
I know, I know who I am.
59:28
Yeah.
59:29
It's more like, I know who I am, I know my values, so I'm good.
59:33
You know, like, yeah.
59:35
But yeah.
59:37
So, by the way, Belle, um, what's your goal in life in Sympathy?
59:42
Like, this year or maybe in five years from now?
59:45
I don't know how I would do that.
59:47
I don't really have like a numbers goal or anything.
59:50
I just want to get faster.
59:51
I want to get better.
59:53
Hard to like Can't really put a number on that.
59:55
I want to get faster.
59:56
I want to get better.
59:57
I would love to race everything.
59:59
The things that I haven't raced yet.
1:00:00
I know I'm missing some.
1:00:03
And I also really, really want to work on like, confidence when I'm racing.
1:00:09
But I know I have to, I have to like, practice a little before I
1:00:13
do races, which is weird for me to get the confidence when I'm racing.
1:00:17
But I want to be more confident when I'm racing.
1:00:19
Because usually people come up behind me and I'm like, Oh my god, they're
1:00:22
so much faster, I gotta let them go.
1:00:24
I should just lift right here and just let them go.
1:00:26
Like, no, they're faster than me.
1:00:28
Even, like, they might not be faster.
1:00:30
I just get very intimidated.
1:00:32
Yeah, I They flash their lights at me, I'm like, You're right, you should go.
1:00:36
No, I let you go.
1:00:38
Yeah, I mean, building your confidence, building confidence, also my kind of
1:00:43
struggle in sim racing, like, it's easier for you to catch someone than Defending
1:00:49
your position from someone behind you.
1:00:51
So bad at defending.
1:00:53
I'm so bad at defending.
1:00:54
I like chasing people down and then when I get to them, I'm like, I don't
1:00:57
need to pass you, I don't want anyone to pass me, let's just hang out right here.
1:01:01
Let's just hang out right here, yeah.
1:01:04
I need to practice more on that.
1:01:05
Like, yeah.
1:01:07
I think most of the time, every time I want to get better at
1:01:10
something, I will go to low 46 too.
1:01:13
Like, I will watch a racing like, Ha!
1:01:16
That's how you do it.
1:01:16
That's how you become a racer.
1:01:17
Yeah, or overtakes and stuff.
1:01:19
I need to learn how to do overtakes from a Whenever I watch people who I've had
1:01:24
a little bit more practice with driving like Quirk or Malone or Dan Suzuki Sam
1:01:30
Soyed, you watch them overtake people or Casey Kirwan I was watching the P.
1:01:34
E. S. T. All Stars back and you watch him like go through the reverse
1:01:37
grid and Yeah, yeah, yeah He's like, he gets super dickered He like
1:01:41
predicted my slowness perfectly.
1:01:43
I was just, everybody is such a good driver.
1:01:45
I want to, I want to sponge all of them.
1:01:48
Jesse is like, I don't know, he's like different.
1:01:52
He looks different.
1:01:52
That's how I, that's how I describe him.
1:01:55
I bet his brain just computes it different.
1:01:57
I think everybody computes it differently.
1:01:59
That's what's so fun is everyone's so different and unique.
1:02:02
Like we're all gonna race differently and make different mistakes.
1:02:05
It's, it makes for an interesting race every time.
1:02:09
So I was.
1:02:10
I was racing with, um, so I did the Six Hours of the Glam back
1:02:14
in the day, like I don't know, it was like a month ago probably?
1:02:18
I forgot.
1:02:19
It was fun, but I was like racing with someone with, yeah,
1:02:22
5k, I don't think, basically.
1:02:24
And I was asking him, like, how does it feel racing in the top split?
1:02:29
Like you racing against someone at your level.
1:02:31
And he said, like, Basically, once you're in the, in that split, in the top split,
1:02:37
everybody can read everybody's mind.
1:02:39
So, it's more like, driving is not really an issue anymore, like, everybody knows
1:02:44
how to get fast at this track, so It's like a lot more mental than physical.
1:02:48
Yes, it is.
1:02:49
So Yeah.
1:02:50
It can be tiring sometimes, but people read each other mind in the top split.
1:02:54
It seems like everybody's like connected, their brain is
1:02:57
like connected to each other.
1:02:58
They can, like, actually predict, like, Oh, you're slow at this corner.
1:03:02
I will take you out.
1:03:03
I will take you out.
1:03:04
That's what I noticed in the PESC.
1:03:06
I kept thinking, like, I should just lift for, because everyone
1:03:09
was so much faster than me, I would almost get, like, lapped by the end.
1:03:12
So, one of the races, I almost got lapped.
1:03:15
And I was like, I should just lift for the leader.
1:03:16
And my chat was like, you don't need to lift.
1:03:18
I can't remember who it was.
1:03:19
I think it was Casey.
1:03:20
And we were like, he knows what to do.
1:03:22
Like, you don't need to baby him.
1:03:24
You're gonna wreck him if you do anything weird.
1:03:26
Just behave normally.
1:03:29
He knows what he's doing.
1:03:30
He'll drive around you.
1:03:32
He's a pro.
1:03:33
They are pro.
1:03:34
They know what to do if they want to, yeah.
1:03:36
But, you can actually tell a player in iRacing, like, if they, if they
1:03:41
got like, I don't know, like, 5, 10 years into the service, and you can
1:03:45
tell, like, why he got, like, why people got, like, such a high iRacing.
1:03:49
And, I can say, like, iRacing kind of tells you where you are, where, yeah,
1:03:57
like, where you are standing in the scene.
1:03:59
Like, Okay, like 5K, I know, like, okay, these people can get his
1:04:05
5K, I don't think, like, well, 46.
1:04:08
She's like 5K right now, and she drives different than me, the
1:04:13
one that is below 2K, you know?
1:04:16
Uh huh.
1:04:17
Everyone's 5K is different.
1:04:19
Yeah.
1:04:20
2K, probably.
1:04:21
Probably.
1:04:22
The 2K, probably.
1:04:23
I don't know.
1:04:27
I go from like, I have no idea because mine just goes all over the place
1:04:31
and it will be me from feeling like I feel really confident in races and
1:04:35
I'll like race really good and then my I rating will go up and then even
1:04:38
if I'm not feeling, if I still feel good, my I rating will come down.
1:04:42
It doesn't really matter.
1:04:43
It goes up and down.
1:04:44
It didn't.
1:04:45
It doesn't really matter.
1:04:46
As long as you're still learning.
1:04:48
That's what I learned from Jamie.
1:04:50
Jamie Derrick.
1:04:50
I don't know if you know her.
1:04:52
Like, Jamie is my favorite.
1:04:55
It's fun to watch learn.
1:04:56
Yeah.
1:04:57
This is how I felt at the beginning.
1:05:01
I was like, what's the yellow flag?
1:05:03
What's the yellow flag?
1:05:04
What's to do here?
1:05:06
Jamie is so fun.
1:05:07
Like watching her, like you're just vibing with her in the chat.
1:05:10
Like, Oh yeah.
1:05:11
Okay.
1:05:11
She is learning.
1:05:12
And Oh yeah.
1:05:13
She's fun.
1:05:13
She's hosting a lot of, uh, a lot of like practices.
1:05:19
I like that.
1:05:19
Yeah, I like to join.
1:05:22
I like to join sometimes, but every time she starts streaming, I would, I'm still
1:05:27
working, I'm still at work, so I'm, I cannot like actually like join every time.
1:05:32
Uh huh.
1:05:34
In my opinion, I feel like you could get any ID, you just gotta work for it.
1:05:37
That's true.
1:05:39
Same.
1:05:39
Yeah.
1:05:40
I mean, uh huh.
1:05:41
Your practice kinda determines how your race will go.
1:05:45
That's how I feel.
1:05:46
Like, I need to get into one level of confidence.
1:05:49
That's definitely how it is for me.
1:05:51
Maybe it's different for other people, but that's how it is for me.
1:05:55
I have to feel like I have to feel confident.
1:05:57
I have to practice a little bit.
1:05:58
I can't just go in there and, like, pretend to be confident.
1:06:01
Yeah, yeah.
1:06:02
I won't be on the track.
1:06:04
I need to do, like, at least 50 laps of just driving in solo.
1:06:08
And then after that, I'll throw myself into the public practice sector.
1:06:12
So, how do you practice?
1:06:15
Um, I either, I call them practice races.
1:06:18
Like I'll do a race on Monday or something or Tuesday when they first
1:06:22
change and people haven't really done a bunch of them, or I'll do a ghost race.
1:06:27
Like I was talking about if I don't have very much time or can't do a full race.
1:06:32
Cause I don't mind doing a race.
1:06:33
I'm like trying to find, follow people and losing eye reading being at the back.
1:06:37
I don't mind doing that as long as I kind of know the track I can.
1:06:42
I actually like learning like that, following other people.
1:06:44
That's probably my favorite way to learn.
1:06:47
I used to follow my husband around the track, because we have two
1:06:50
separate rigs now, because we have the Logitech, and then he bought
1:06:53
the, this, direct drive, nice one.
1:06:58
So we can race at the same time from time to time.
1:07:01
And I like to follow him around the track and learn from him.
1:07:04
Or my Twitch chat, I'll follow them around the track.
1:07:07
They'll teach me the line.
1:07:09
Yeah.
1:07:11
Practicing with other people really It's more fun for me.
1:07:15
Yeah.
1:07:15
I find it boring right now, if I just do like a solo, when I
1:07:19
really need to do solo as well.
1:07:21
Yeah.
1:07:21
It's boring.
1:07:22
Like, you know.
1:07:23
I'm trying to.
1:07:24
It is boring.
1:07:25
I'm trying to do like a time trial face off with some people from my
1:07:29
chat, and it's like I hate learning the tracks by myself, but I feel
1:07:33
like it's teaching me a lot too.
1:07:35
They're definitely way faster than me.
1:07:37
I was like, whoa, I lean on you guys a lot.
1:07:39
I can't do this without following you guys.
1:07:42
But it's helping me learn it in a different way.
1:07:45
I feel like it will help long term with other, like,
1:07:48
learning different new tracks.
1:07:49
Quicker too.
1:07:52
And I definitely like to start in a slow car when I'm learning tracks like, oh
1:07:55
yeah, Mazda or epr RI try an MP two.
1:08:00
Sometimes we go, whoa, too, too fast.
1:08:02
That's too fast.
1:08:04
Yeah.
1:08:04
Faster than, I don't even know the track.
1:08:06
Yeah.
1:08:07
Yeah.
1:08:07
I, I think that's the reason why I don't really drive a lot of.
1:08:13
Cause that character is so fast, like, I need more time to react in
1:08:17
every corner, like, give me some time.
1:08:20
I like to do it.
1:08:20
They are fun though.
1:08:21
Have you tried the LMP3?
1:08:23
Oh, I like it.
1:08:25
It's a good gateway one.
1:08:26
Yeah, I like it.
1:08:27
I like the LMP.
1:08:27
Oh, you do like it, okay.
1:08:28
Uh huh.
1:08:29
I like it.
1:08:30
At least, at least that character kinda makes sense to me.
1:08:36
I don't get, I don't know, like, I'm not a fan of LMP2.
1:08:42
I don't know, I feel like I'd rather drive the Super Formula.
1:08:45
I'd rather drive the open wheel, like Super Formula, I think.
1:08:50
Oh, are you, are you into open wheel?
1:08:53
I don't, that's probably the car I drive the least.
1:08:55
I do F3s and I do F4s fairly frequently.
1:08:59
Uh huh.
1:08:59
And I used to do the F1.
1:09:02
Back and they did a new release of it, and I never bought the new version, so
1:09:07
I haven't done that for a while Mm hmm.
1:09:09
Oh and the super formula lights I did a little bit in the rain, but mostly
1:09:12
I've been doing road cars of recent like since the rain came out But I do go
1:09:17
through phases of depends on the track combo Yeah, I'm looking more into that I
1:09:23
haven't gotten into like fully committed to one series You know like in iRacing
1:09:28
we have our There's so many options.
1:09:31
Yeah, like, it's hard for me to commit to one series.
1:09:34
Like, I want to do this, but next week Cause I look into
1:09:38
the race based on the tracks.
1:09:39
If I like the tracks, I will do it.
1:09:41
More than the money.
1:09:42
That's how I do it.
1:09:43
That's how I am.
1:09:44
Yeah.
1:09:45
I'm trying to force myself to do tracks I don't like.
1:09:47
Which, sometimes I'm like, oh, I kinda like this now.
1:09:50
And sometimes I'm like, yep, don't like it.
1:09:52
There's one track that you will always hate it.
1:09:58
Do you have a track you don't like?
1:09:59
Oh yes, I do.
1:10:01
I hate the Barcelona.
1:10:04
What about you?
1:10:06
I don't love Silverstone.
1:10:08
I'm trying to like it.
1:10:10
I like it more than I used to.
1:10:12
But I still don't love it.
1:10:14
Yeah, Silverstone is quite a challenging track for me.
1:10:17
I liked Silverstone in the F1 games.
1:10:20
I remember loving it in the F1 games, but in iRacing, I don't know what it is.
1:10:24
I don't know what it is.
1:10:25
I just don't like it.
1:10:27
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:10:28
I'm not, I've never been a big fan of Silverstone, but
1:10:33
it's an okay track for me.
1:10:34
Like, I, uh, oh, but I cannot say that because I don't have
1:10:38
it in iRacing, but I have it in another game, so I cannot judge it.
1:10:42
So you know what it's like.
1:10:44
I know pretty much.
1:10:45
I used to race it in ACC like two years ago, but the Maggots,
1:10:50
Becketts, um, I forgot the other one.
1:10:52
Uh huh, it was like trick corner.
1:10:53
Yeah.
1:10:54
I remember liking that one.
1:10:56
I I struggle with that in Silverstone, I think.
1:11:01
And also like the chicane.
1:11:02
Not like a chicane, like, you know?
1:11:04
Oh yeah, that's a hard one too.
1:11:06
I forgot the name.
1:11:07
The walls are so close.
1:11:08
Yeah.
1:11:10
I've never been a fan of it, but Yvonne, um, our community manager, she
1:11:14
raised in Silverstone in real life.
1:11:17
I don't know, maybe like two, three years ago, like, yeah.
1:11:20
Oh, that's so cool.
1:11:21
Yeah, she was raised in Cyprus.
1:11:23
I think, I thought her partner too, Sophie, also did, um, I
1:11:27
think she got to raise brands.
1:11:28
Brands hatch in real life.
1:11:30
That's so cool.
1:11:31
Wait, wait, is it?
1:11:33
Wait, Sophie, were you?
1:11:35
Ah, wait, Sophie was in chat.
1:11:36
I forgot to say hi.
1:11:37
Gran Turismo is the gateway drug.
1:11:40
Yes, it is a drug.
1:11:42
By the way, Sophie!
1:11:44
Were you raising in brands?
1:11:45
I know, I know, you fall.
1:11:46
I thought I remembered you saying that the momentum on that hill that you
1:11:49
go down is like, pushes you against the seat like a roller coaster.
1:11:53
I think that's what I like about real racing and karting.
1:11:57
Like, you feel the G force like Oh, I can't even I love roller coasters.
1:12:01
I would probably I think that's why rally in real life probably feels so crazy.
1:12:08
I can't even imagine.
1:12:09
I bet, I bet.
1:12:12
Oh, you were Oh, it was just your race license.
1:12:15
Oh, oh, were you Were you getting your license back then and you
1:12:19
were like testing it at brands?
1:12:20
Oh, that's so fun.
1:12:22
I would love to get my license one day.
1:12:24
Like, if I really wanted to get into real racing, I would start thinking
1:12:28
about, you know, like, getting my license and So you have to get a race license
1:12:32
to participate in, like, race races?
1:12:36
Yeah, I believe And you do that by track days?
1:12:39
For track days, I don't think you need, like, a specific racing license
1:12:43
for that, but once you want to get into racing, like, from the different,
1:12:48
from the lowest class, you, I believe you already need to have, like, a
1:12:53
racing license, something like that.
1:12:57
But karting, as a start, I don't think you need a racing license for karting.
1:13:04
I want to go racing.
1:13:05
Yeah.
1:13:06
So you should join the screen to skip.
1:13:09
I would love to have you in Scrinters Pit next time, because
1:13:12
I saw you, you were in it.
1:13:13
Yeah, the summer series.
1:13:14
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be out of town for the later ones in August,
1:13:18
one of them for my brother's wedding.
1:13:21
The other ones, there's a chance I'm working, but I'm not positive yet.
1:13:26
I see.
1:13:27
I see.
1:13:28
But yeah, if I'm available, I'm totally in.
1:13:30
Mm hmm.
1:13:31
I would love for you.
1:13:32
What was your last race in Scrinters Pit?
1:13:35
Was it the Woman's Day?
1:13:37
Yeah, it was the International Women's Day.
1:13:39
Oh yeah.
1:13:39
Which was fun.
1:13:40
That's New Phoenix.
1:13:41
Was that in Phoenix?
1:13:42
Yeah, that was in Phoenix.
1:13:44
That's Phoenix.
1:13:45
I was not on the simulator even.
1:13:47
Hahaha.
1:13:50
I was, oh yeah, when that event, when that event is happening,
1:13:55
I was on my way to California.
1:13:58
I was on a road trip.
1:13:59
Oh, wow.
1:14:00
So, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:14:02
That was so fun.
1:14:04
Normally for crack days, you can't get like, Oh, a license for five days.
1:14:11
Okay.
1:14:13
I see.
1:14:13
Huh, interesting.
1:14:15
So like drive, drive, drive, like a race car driver.
1:14:20
Uhhuh, . Otherwise you have to drive kind of normal.
1:14:22
Normal.
1:14:23
I have no idea.
1:14:24
I have no idea.
1:14:27
Like So have your own car.
1:14:29
I'd be afraid.
1:14:30
I would love to do a tech day.
1:14:32
One day, like, um, I live very close to Sonoma.
1:14:37
Sonoma Raceway.
1:14:38
I live like, very close to that track.
1:14:40
Yeah, are you by like, Laguna Seca?
1:14:43
Or, what else is Sonoma is in California?
1:14:46
Yeah, Sonoma, uh, Laguna Seca, we have Baton Velo.
1:14:52
But Baton Velo is not on Irizing, so, yeah.
1:14:55
I, I don't know the track.
1:14:57
But, the closest one to me is the Sonoma.
1:15:01
So, I would love to.
1:15:03
That'd be a fun one.
1:15:04
Yeah, that would be fun.
1:15:06
From my place to Laguna Seca, it still take like, Three hours I think?
1:15:10
Two hours?
1:15:11
Three hours?
1:15:11
It's still pretty far.
1:15:12
That's a lot of California.
1:15:14
Like half of California.
1:15:16
California is big.
1:15:16
So long.
1:15:18
Oh yeah, the Long Beach also.
1:15:19
I mean, Long Beach is technically not a permanent track.
1:15:23
Not always there.
1:15:24
It's not always there.
1:15:25
Just like the Chicago street course.
1:15:27
I do love Long Beach.
1:15:29
I think the GR86s, or the GR86s are there right now.
1:15:33
Oh my god.
1:15:34
I gained a lot of irony doing the GR86 at Long Beach.
1:15:38
Super fun.
1:15:40
I love fun, I love those.
1:15:41
I don't know why, but they're very entertaining.
1:15:44
Yeah, I love it.
1:15:45
I think I just think kind of makes me loving in the strict, the strict course.
1:15:50
I don't know.
1:15:51
'cause I used to hate doing the strip course 'cause Yeah,
1:15:54
because the walls are so close.
1:15:55
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:15:56
It's like a narrow track and Yeah.
1:15:59
But I dunno, since I'm getting into the Long Beach, I feel
1:16:02
like, oh, it's pretty fun.
1:16:03
Being close to the wall is fun.
1:16:06
Like, oh, I agree.
1:16:07
I haven't fallen in love with Belle Isle yet, but I really
1:16:10
like Long Beach quite a lot.
1:16:13
I've never done Detroit.
1:16:14
We have Detroit on iRacing now, don't we?
1:16:17
Yes, we do.
1:16:17
Or Chicago?
1:16:18
We have Chicago, Belle Isle, and Long Beach as a street track.
1:16:24
So, I think my last street track that I need to buy, guys, is the Belle Isle.
1:16:30
I don't have that.
1:16:31
I don't think I own that track.
1:16:32
So that will be the last street course that I need to buy.
1:16:36
It is a fun one.
1:16:38
Oh yeah, and Willow Springs!
1:16:41
Ah, is that not free?
1:16:43
I thought that was free.
1:16:44
I might be wrong.
1:16:45
Oh wait, was it free?
1:16:47
Something's there this week.
1:16:49
I think Imza Vintage is there this week.
1:16:51
Oh yeah?
1:16:52
Ugh.
1:16:53
I like the track in Gran Turismo, but in Irising, not really my favorite, honestly.
1:16:59
Yeah, I don't think I own it, maybe.
1:17:01
If it's not free, I don't think I own it.
1:17:04
I don't know what it looks like.
1:17:06
Yeah.
1:17:07
It's like Do you have Sonoma?
1:17:10
I do have Sonoma, yeah.
1:17:12
So Cause I used to do just the, like, NASCAR.
1:17:15
Uh huh.
1:17:15
And that was one of the, one of the few road ones that they would do.
1:17:19
That and COTA.
1:17:20
Oh yeah.
1:17:21
I actually liked it.
1:17:22
It's so small, but, but I like tracks with elevation.
1:17:25
Like, Bathurst and Nordschleife.
1:17:27
Oh yeah.
1:17:28
I love it.
1:17:29
I love track with elevation things.
1:17:31
Cause it really teach um, how you break it.
1:17:34
But it's, you know, like, the trans compression kind of thing,
1:17:37
I learned that from Surilio.
1:17:39
Yeah, going up the hill or down the hill, I was like, no,
1:17:41
I've never thought about that.
1:17:43
Yeah, how you brake, when it's going up, when it's about to go down.
1:17:47
Do you think about those things in real life now?
1:17:49
I never used to, but now I do.
1:17:51
I do now.
1:17:52
I do now.
1:17:52
Like, driving in real life, I'm like, oh, I'm going up the hill,
1:17:55
maybe, you know, change the braking.
1:17:57
I'm going down.
1:17:59
It kinda works.
1:18:00
Why am I thinking about this?
1:18:01
This is so weird now.
1:18:03
Yep.
1:18:04
And it makes me kind of feel smarter on the road right now, like, you have
1:18:10
a faster response about everything than other drivers on the street.
1:18:14
That's how I feel.
1:18:15
I can, I can like yapping, like, ah, this guy is so slow at this point.
1:18:20
Like, ah, I don't know.
1:18:25
Oh wait, Willow Spring is for sale.
1:18:28
Oh my god, go buy it.
1:18:29
Yeah, okay, I will work hard so I can buy the track and I will host, I will
1:18:35
host, um, a screen to speed event in Willow Spring if I own the track.
1:18:40
For practice.
1:18:41
Yeah, for practice.
1:18:43
A warm up.
1:18:45
For the real life.
1:18:46
In North, you can go around without a license, but it costs.
1:18:50
Oh, wait, even if you want to race the Nordschleife, you need
1:18:53
a special license for that.
1:18:55
So even if you already have like a racing license, if you want
1:18:58
to race in the Nordschleife, You have to get Nordschleife specific?
1:19:01
Yeah, like additional license.
1:19:04
That would be my, that's probably my dream location.
1:19:07
If I could pick a track to go to, that's where I'd go.
1:19:11
Nordschleife?
1:19:12
Yeah, definitely.
1:19:14
So, do you actually know the track?
1:19:17
Like, do you actually like remember the whole track or not?
1:19:19
Uh Probably, yeah.
1:19:21
I think I could safely say yes.
1:19:24
I remember it.
1:19:26
I don't, I don't remember the time.
1:19:28
I still get lost in Nordschleife.
1:19:31
It took me a long time.
1:19:32
That was probably, it was more like a self challenge.
1:19:35
I was like, can I learn this?
1:19:36
I was like, I don't know.
1:19:37
And then I, turns out I can and I love it.
1:19:40
It's so fun.
1:19:42
Very satisfying.
1:19:44
How did you learn the Nordschleife?
1:19:46
Did you actually, like, Maybe we're on a traffic coordinator?
1:19:50
Probably doing races and being like, I'm gonna make a lap and then I'd
1:19:56
crash like right before the final thing and just learning the hard way.
1:20:00
I was in a very low I rating land for a long time, kind of going through some
1:20:05
growing pains, learning how to drive.
1:20:09
And definitely following people has helped so much, like following, um,
1:20:14
Most of my chat, most people on iRacing, I feel like, are better than me.
1:20:18
And so just following them around would teach me a lot of things.
1:20:23
And that's really, like we were saying, so much more fun to learn.
1:20:26
And they, my chat has given me lots of tips.
1:20:29
They, like, can see what I'm doing wrong much better than I can.
1:20:34
I'm not watching myself.
1:20:35
And they'll, like, adjust my breaking or tell me when to shift.
1:20:39
And sometimes I'll fix it.
1:20:42
It definitely helps me a lot.
1:20:43
Become a lot faster, a lot quicker.
1:20:47
And is there any like struggle, not like, not like a struggle, but
1:20:53
challenge, more like a challenge.
1:20:54
Like what are the biggest challenge that you've got in Simracing?
1:20:59
Uh, probably technology.
1:21:01
Probably when I try and turn on my stream and it's like not working
1:21:05
or it won't load in, something's wrong with the triple monitors.
1:21:09
It's really just technological difficulties and probably that I'm.
1:21:15
Well, that doesn't matter with simracing, that's with streaming, that I'm shy.
1:21:19
Simracing is really, I'm just kinda, I don't know, I don't
1:21:23
know what the struggle's been.
1:21:24
That I'm a little bit nervous, maybe, but that kind of helps.
1:21:28
I feel like it's good to be nervous.
1:21:30
You can use the nerves if you can.
1:21:33
You can harness them.
1:21:33
Sometimes I feel like they're just gonna make me throw up.
1:21:37
That's really true.
1:21:38
That's really true.
1:21:39
Like, nervousness is good.
1:21:41
I think I learned that also from Like a good stress.
1:21:45
There's a good stress and there's a bad stress.
1:21:47
And sometimes I can like, harness my stress and sometimes my stress is just
1:21:52
like It makes me want to throw up.
1:21:54
I can't control it at all.
1:21:56
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:21:57
I was really on that.
1:21:59
But now I feel like, I've been racing for two years now.
1:22:04
This is my second year.
1:22:05
And I still feel that nervous every time I'm trying to, I'm getting into a race.
1:22:10
But it kinda, it's more like something that I can control now.
1:22:15
Yeah.
1:22:17
Yeah, it's like a free, like, sport excitement now.
1:22:21
It's less like, I'm gonna vomit and die, and Like, when I first
1:22:26
started doing, say what is it?
1:22:28
Yeah, I could barely breathe when I first started racing.
1:22:31
I don't know, I was, I was so afraid of wrecking other people or
1:22:35
having other people be mad at me.
1:22:36
I really don't like upsetting other people.
1:22:39
Yeah, me too.
1:22:40
I don't want to ruin someone else's day, but yeah.
1:22:44
Yeah, exactly.
1:22:45
I would much rather wreck myself because I can get in another race
1:22:49
and be like, eh, no big deal.
1:22:51
Yeah, yeah.
1:22:51
You're so mean, but now I'm starting to get somewhat, not like ignoring,
1:22:57
but things can happen to everyone.
1:22:59
So if I made a mistake, I'm sorry.
1:23:02
I'll be like that.
1:23:03
Yeah, I'll say sorry.
1:23:05
Yeah, if we made a mistake, we say sorry in chat.
1:23:08
We say sorry.
1:23:11
My number one used quick text.
1:23:13
Sorry.
1:23:14
Sorry.
1:23:15
Sorry.
1:23:16
I have that on my wheel.
1:23:18
I have that.
1:23:18
I should probably put it on my wheel.
1:23:20
Oh yeah, it really helps.
1:23:22
Cause I don't like to get into the voice chat.
1:23:24
I never, I never.
1:23:25
No, I don't either.
1:23:27
I never have and I don't want to.
1:23:29
I don't wanna, like, you know what, sometimes every time I'm getting
1:23:32
into the race, I treat myself like, guys, I'm just a ghost.
1:23:36
Yeah, nobody sees me here.
1:23:38
I'm just an AI racing.
1:23:40
Just another AI in the race.
1:23:46
Yeah, I'm just like, I never talk in the voice chat.
1:23:50
Like, Sierra, she's so bubbly in the voice chat.
1:23:52
Like, she can be in the officials and, Hi!
1:23:56
I was like, oh look, you're so brave.
1:23:58
I was like, oh no!
1:24:01
Or when somebody crash.
1:24:03
She will be like, yo, why are you crashing into me?
1:24:07
I was like, wow, she's so brave.
1:24:08
I want to have her braveness in my life.
1:24:11
Like, she's so funny.
1:24:13
I love how different everybody's personalities are.
1:24:17
I love it.
1:24:18
I love all the different collection of, like, iRacing streamers.
1:24:21
It's such a eclectic bunch, but we all have the same love in common.
1:24:26
You can tell we all love iRacing.
1:24:28
Mm hmm.
1:24:29
Yeah, that's That's what I like, like, I've been interviewing,
1:24:33
like, a lot of streamers here on this Init Talks and I feel like,
1:24:38
yeah, every girls are different.
1:24:39
So, the way you talk and everything is like, Huh, that's how, oh,
1:24:43
that's how my friend behave.
1:24:45
Oh, that's really cute.
1:24:47
Oh, that's so fun.
1:24:48
You know, like, it's so fun to meeting, like, a bunch of different
1:24:52
girls who got into sim racing.
1:24:54
Like, we have the same hobbies, same passion, but our characteristics.
1:25:01
are different.
1:25:02
That's how I see, like, we're so different.
1:25:05
Like, for example, like, me and Love46, our energy is like
1:25:10
a totally different person.
1:25:11
Yeah, completely different.
1:25:14
I'm more like a clown, and Liu, Liu is more like, okay, I'm getting into
1:25:19
the race, I'll be serious, like, yeah.
1:25:21
So serious.
1:25:22
Cheers.
1:25:22
Love to watch you both, and it's like a totally different
1:25:25
experience, both of the streams.
1:25:27
I love it.
1:25:28
Yeah.
1:25:29
So, I feel like if I wanna hang out, like chilling, I'll be going to this streamer,
1:25:34
but if I wanna learn something, I will go to Love46 and Emre, like that, you know?
1:25:40
Yeah, it's like what you're in the mood to I Twitch is so cool.
1:25:43
I was thinking about what a different like when I was a kid, I'd get
1:25:46
home from school and like turn on one of the 12 channels I had.
1:25:49
Mm hmm.
1:25:50
And now it's like you could come home from school and turn on the
1:25:52
internet and there's so much stuff.
1:25:55
It's so crazy.
1:25:56
Yeah.
1:25:57
I I don't even know what I would be doing as a teenager now.
1:26:01
I think it would be so different.
1:26:04
I mean, I love it that now the internet is
1:26:10
Keeps, how do you say, like, the internet world, social media, everything is like
1:26:15
growing so fast and you have a lot of options to do right now, like, if you're
1:26:19
bored, I can just hang out on Twitch, like, learning, or watching, in like
1:26:24
numerous different channels or streams, there's always something going on,
1:26:27
it's like there's a party somewhere, there's always a party somewhere, and
1:26:31
there's always something happening, like, if you turn into Madmelon's
1:26:35
stream right now, and you're still You're tuning it like later, you will
1:26:38
see like something like different.
1:26:40
So it's like an endless entertainment, but I kinda back again, I kinda
1:26:45
miss the old times when you're like having this local one event, playing
1:26:51
with your family, I kinda miss that.
1:26:54
Like that schedule, you'd look up the TV schedule in the newspaper.
1:26:59
Yeah, the old times, I must say.
1:27:02
Kinda miss the old times, like, yeah.
1:27:03
Yeah, it's changed a lot.
1:27:05
It's fun, it's really unique how much we can connect now across all, like, so far.
1:27:12
Like, I have a friend in France, I have friends in Germany, friends
1:27:15
in England, friends everywhere.
1:27:16
Yeah.
1:27:17
Friends from, like, sim racing that I've met in Utah now.
1:27:20
Oh!
1:27:21
It's crazy.
1:27:22
Yeah.
1:27:22
And it's like, I never, my friends, when I was growing up, none of
1:27:26
them even liked video games.
1:27:28
I didn't have any girlfriends that would play video games with me.
1:27:31
And it was like me and my brother and I could get my dad to play with me.
1:27:35
Mm-hmm . So it's really cool that you can just make these kinds of easy connections
1:27:40
and like screen to speed has the whole, like a whole collection of awesome
1:27:46
female sim racers, andrs look up too.
1:27:50
And it's so I really love the Twitch is cool.
1:27:54
Did you, did you enjoy your time raising script to spend?
1:27:58
Yeah, definitely because it's like, it's chill.
1:28:02
It's mellow, but I also, it's like, it is, uh, what's the word, it's
1:28:08
like real, much more real than an official race and Yeah, yeah.
1:28:12
Uh, iRacing, like I get nervous for that too, but Oh yeah?
1:28:15
From the screen to screen, there's like broadcast and stuff, my heart
1:28:18
is like, It's a lot, just, uh, league races make me feel like it's
1:28:23
a lot more serious Mm hmm, mm hmm.
1:28:25
Than official races.
1:28:27
Yeah, I feel like, I do more of league races than the officials, no?
1:28:31
Oh, I do a lot more officials.
1:28:34
I don't know, I feel like, right now, I learn a lot in a league race because
1:28:40
I got into this league race in Oval and most of the guys are like 5k, 3k, so I
1:28:47
feel like I learn things in a hard way.
1:28:50
So, don't worry guys, you'll be fine with me.
1:28:52
It's hard not to learn.
1:28:53
Yeah, beat me real hard.
1:28:55
So I can learn something, I can bring that to officials.
1:28:57
I think that's my practice right now, do a lot of race in, in the league race and
1:29:03
then Getting to the officials so I can like, beat everyone in the officials.
1:29:09
Yeah, then you go in with confidence in the officials.
1:29:12
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:29:15
That's the thing.
1:29:16
So, I'm thinking like, maybe?
1:29:18
It really depends, but if I got the time, I will get into the
1:29:21
screen to screen iRacing, because we are racing in F4 this season.
1:29:26
The open world, finally.
1:29:28
I was I saw you doing, um, time attacks too, I think?
1:29:32
Yeah, we did.
1:29:34
We did the time attack.
1:29:35
So you can go to iRacing, look at the time attack, and we have the script to script.
1:29:39
So, yeah, basically we do the time attack before the race.
1:29:43
and that the result in the time of night kind of determine like where you stand
1:29:48
on the grid so that's like oh fun that's cool i like that yeah so if you're
1:29:53

1:30:12
welcome you're also welcome Oh, the time attack is separate from the race, right?
1:30:17
So the time attack is separate from the race.
1:30:19
But you can do the time attack.
1:30:21
I'm pretty sure you can do.
1:30:23
Like, you can score.
1:30:24
Just to see, like, just to see, you know.
1:30:26
Like, the upcoming one is far.
1:30:29
Oh, wait.
1:30:31
We're on maintenance right now.
1:30:33
Bam!
1:30:33

1:30:35
We're on maintenance.
1:30:36

1:30:40
Whatever will we do?
1:30:42
What we gonna do?
1:30:44

So, on the top 5 ladies in Time Attack, um, will get like a bonus coin.
1:30:52
Bell, you should do it, Bell.
1:30:53
You can do it, Bell.
1:30:55
Guys, do you guys think that Bell can be the fastest on the grid?
1:31:01
So you get, like, an extra point, basically, from the time attack.
1:31:04
And I like it, which is very cool.
1:31:06
Like, you know, like, we have our brands, um, We have our brand, the
1:31:10
Screen2Speed in iRacing UI, and I don't know, I just look into it,
1:31:15
and I'm like, wow, this is so cool.
1:31:17
You know, like, yo, Screen2Speed, so cool in the time attack, yo, let's go.
1:31:24
It is cool.
1:31:25
I think I've seen it when I, um, scrolling down to my mountain time attack.
1:31:29
Oh, to your mountain time attack.
1:31:31
Right, right.
1:31:32
Yeah, it's on top, so it's not hard.
1:31:34
Uh huh, and I saw the little logo.
1:31:35
Woo hoo!
1:31:36
The logo, the summer, the summer logo.
1:31:39
And, yeah, we will have this upcoming, um, screen to speed, I call it screen to speed
1:31:44
summer party, because it's summer, it's hot, so we'll be doing, like, a showcase,
1:31:50
like I'm, I'm planning to invite all my streamer friends, and I, I invited you.
1:31:55
I will give you more details about it later after this interview, and I would
1:31:59
love to have you race with us, Belle.
1:32:02
Please.
1:32:03
Please, please, please race with us.
1:32:04
Because you're so fun to be around, and I don't think I've raced with you.
1:32:12
I don't remember.
1:32:13
Did you do, I feel like you did maybe one of the, was it the Spring Cup I
1:32:17
did before International Women's Day?
1:32:19
I can't remember what I did before that for Screen to Speed, but I feel like you
1:32:22
were maybe in one of the races there.
1:32:25
I just never saw you.
1:32:27
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:32:27
I, I, I can't remember.
1:32:31
Because I don't think I did the Spring Cup.
1:32:33
Because the Spring Cup was not on iRacing.
1:32:36
Maybe it was the fall cup.
1:32:40
It was a long time ago.
1:32:42
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:32:44
I'm planning to get into the iRacing.
1:32:46
The iRacing one.
1:32:48
Yeah, it really depends because normally, like, the NASCAR thing
1:32:52
and stuff, the racetrack, and yeah.
1:32:56
I'm so happy actually, like, finally the pandemic is over,
1:32:59
we can go to a racetrack, we can travel, that's the fun part.
1:33:04
That is fun.
1:33:05
You're probably tired from all the travel and fun.
1:33:08
Yeah, I'm still not feeling well, but I don't know, like, every time
1:33:13
I hit the stream, start streaming button, it's just like, I cannot,
1:33:18
not like I cannot forget about something, but I just become like, ah!
1:33:23
And then when I Shut it off.
1:33:25
I'll be like, Oh God, I'm so tired.
1:33:27
You're like, Okay, alright, I need a nap.
1:33:29
Yeah, I need to rest.
1:33:31
Okay, my bad.
1:33:32
Especially after like 5 hours stream, like racing and stuff, like You're
1:33:36
like, I can't sit here anymore.
1:33:38
Yeah, yeah.
1:33:40
Do you like that also?
1:33:41
Like, after streaming, like, Oh God, I'm so tired.
1:33:44
Yeah, and I don't usually notice.
1:33:46
And then I stand up and I'm like, Ooh, my knees, my hips, my back.
1:33:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:33:51
You won't notice that until you get up.
1:33:53
From your SimRig, like, okay, my bad.
1:33:57
But then I also get up and I'm like, oh, I want to sit down and race more.
1:34:00
Just like, one more.
1:34:01
Yeah, yeah.
1:34:01
Just one more race.
1:34:02
Just one more race.
1:34:04
When you're in the hype on that, you don't want to stop, you know?
1:34:07
And then once you're like, okay, the race gone bad, okay,
1:34:09
this is, um, a nature call.
1:34:11
The nature calling me to stop.
1:34:13
Like, yeah, no.
1:34:15
You can't till the adrenaline runs out.
1:34:17
Yeah.
1:34:20
And Matthew, Matthew, he said, like, you get more nervous in, um, you get
1:34:25
more nervous in the league racing.
1:34:27
For iRacing.
1:34:28
I think I do.
1:34:30
I felt like I did, because you see them every week.
1:34:33
You're like, you really don't want to wrong them then.
1:34:35
Yeah.
1:34:36
Maybe from your buddies, kind of.
1:34:38
You don't want to cause any problem with someone you race every week.
1:34:42
I don't like drama.
1:34:44
I like drama free, chill, nobody be angry, everyone have fun, that's all I want.
1:34:49
Yeah, everybody have fun.
1:34:50
Everybody wins in my race.
1:34:52
Yes.
1:34:52
I want everyone to win and everybody to have fun.
1:34:55
Everybody's a winner!

But don't worry.
1:35:37
Don't worry.
1:35:38
I got you covered.
1:35:40
By the way, Belle, I remember I had to ask you this question.
1:35:45
But I forgot!
1:35:46
Now I remember.
1:35:47
So I got to ask this before I forgot again.
1:35:50
So what's the story behind your name?
1:35:52
Why Storm Malina?
1:35:53
Oh!
1:35:54
It's my childhood nickname.
1:35:57
Oh!
1:35:57
From, like, being a toddler.
1:35:59
My I used to throw a lot of tantrums.
1:36:02
I love to yell no and throw stuff.
1:36:08
I was a little bit of a problem child.
1:36:11
And my parents would say, here comes Stormalina.
1:36:14
Because my middle name is Malina.
1:36:16
So like, Hurricane Malina, you know, Stormalina.
1:36:19
Come through.
1:36:20
Come through making messes, throwing stuff around, crying, wailing.
1:36:25
And it stuck kind of my whole life, so when I was being like,
1:36:29
annoying as a teenager, my parents would be like, don't be Stormalina.
1:36:32
Don't be Stormalina.
1:36:34
And I don't know, when I was signing up for my Twitch account,
1:36:37
I was just like, this kind of fits.
1:36:38
And it's not my real name, really, it's just my middle name, so.
1:36:42
Right, right, right.
1:36:42
It's Maureen Cognito, which I like.
1:36:45
You're having a Like, Love4T6 also, right?
1:36:49
Like, Love4T6.
1:36:50
Her name is like, Liu, but Love4T6.
1:36:53
I wish I could be more creative on finding a pseudo name for my channel.
1:36:57
Now I'm kind of stuck with Elsinreani.
1:36:59
That's my real name.
1:37:01
I think so.
1:37:02
It's, it works.
1:37:03
It's perfect.
1:37:04
And you can call you El or Elsie.
1:37:05
It really just, it works.
1:37:08
I like to make it short because a lot of people kind of, not like
1:37:11
hard to say my name, but people kind of like Just say it differently.
1:37:15
So I'm just gonna l that's it.
1:37:17
L. L. Sure.
1:37:19
Keep it simple.
1:37:21
Yeah, keep it simple.
1:37:21
Just L keep it simple.
1:37:22
L. Can't mess it up.
1:37:23
Yeah, you cannot mess it up.
1:37:25
If you're still messing up, then I dunno what to do with you anymore.
1:37:28
Like, okay, we're working on it together.
1:37:31
, LZ.
1:37:32
Oh my God.
1:37:32
Yeah.
1:37:33
Lz.
1:37:33
Like L and z. Yeah.
1:37:35
Sometimes I like it like that way, like lz, like lz, rowina, rowina.
1:37:41
I like mal.
1:37:42
But Stormalina is like, I don't know your name, like your brand name, Stormalina
1:37:49
kind of stuck in my head right now, so every time I'm talking to someone
1:37:53
like, for example like, I'm about to interview Belle, but I wouldn't say your
1:37:57
name Belle, I'll be like Stormalina.
1:37:58
Yeah, Stormalina, yeah some people don't know what to call
1:38:01
me, I'm really fine with anything.
1:38:03
I mean, if We don't have to put our real name in iRacing, you can
1:38:08
just put your name StormMalina in the race, you know what I mean?
1:38:11
I think you can.
1:38:12
I don't have my actual, like, government name.
1:38:15
I have my, my husband's name.
1:38:17
Like, Felwolf isn't my government name.
1:38:20
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:38:22
My husband's name is my last name.
1:38:23
So I don't think they, I think it used to be much more strict with the, I
1:38:27
can't remember how they used to do it.
1:38:29
Like, I had to be a name on a credit card, but I know they
1:38:31
let you make some adjustments.
1:38:33
Yeah, yeah, especially if you're like a streamer, you can
1:38:36
like change it a little bit.
1:38:38
Yeah, maybe I should contact Iris and be like, just change my name, I don't know.
1:38:42
Cause it's just like, I don't feel comfortable, like, to
1:38:45
use like a full legal name.
1:38:47
You know Like, I, you know, like, I just like to keep it like, if it's
1:38:53
gaming, just keep it on gaming.
1:38:55
Like, I don't really like to associate.
1:38:58
Yeah, I like to blend in, in my little world.
1:39:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:39:03
Yeah, I don't know.
1:39:04
Maybe I will contact Aisling after this.
1:39:06
Can I change my name?
1:39:08
To my streamer's name?
1:39:09
That's it.
1:39:10
We'll see.
1:39:11
I hope they'll let me.
1:39:14
Nah, they won't.
1:39:15
I hope.
1:39:15
I hope.
1:39:16
But they would.
1:39:17
Yeah.
1:39:19
And by the way, Belle, down to the last question.
1:39:22
It's been really nice, by the way, chatting with you and
1:39:23
sending you, like, a big hug.
1:39:27
I love you.
1:39:27
I finally made it.
1:39:29
I'm super happy.
1:39:30
Because yeah, your name is like everywhere.
1:39:32
We, everybody like, not like everybody talking about you, but
1:39:35
we always have a topic about you.
1:39:38
Like you're the one who's having fun on the stream.
1:39:41
And yeah, you, you really enjoy simracing.
1:39:44
And that's what we love about you.
1:39:47
And I wish, I wish I could be like you more.
1:39:51
Like actually enjoy it.
1:39:53
If I crash, I crash.
1:39:55
You know, like, if I crash, I crash.
1:39:57
There's definitely moments where I'm like, ugh.
1:40:01
There's definitely moments where I'm a little upset.
1:40:04
But usually, for the most part, it's just very fun.
1:40:07
That's what's so great about iRacing.
1:40:08
Like, there's another race in half an hour.
1:40:10
All week.
1:40:11
It's all, it's there all week.
1:40:13
It's great.
1:40:13
Try again later.
1:40:17
Yeah, I mean, I should be more chill like you, I mean.
1:40:20
Cause, again, I started to become a tryhard.
1:40:22
Like, argh, I want this.
1:40:24
I want that.
1:40:25
I want this.
1:40:25
Yeah, I've been through that.
1:40:28
I was like, I want this podium.
1:40:29
I'm gonna have to kill you.
1:40:33
I don't know how to overtake, so I have to kill you.
1:40:35
I have to, I'm sorry I don't know how to overtake you safely, but I
1:40:38
will do it the hard way for now.
1:40:39
I will learn the soft way.
1:40:40
Yeah, the hard way.
1:40:43
We're practicing, I'm sorry, you have to be part of the struggle.
1:40:46
Yeah, you have to be a part of the lesson.
1:40:49
A part of the lesson, yeah.
1:40:50
You'll become a part of the lesson, though.
1:40:52
A casualty.
1:40:55
So yeah, since you're like really fun to be around, you love streaming, and
1:40:59
yeah, you have that regular stream schedule, basically, like on the weekend.
1:41:03
Yeah, I'm kind of all over the place.
1:41:04
It's for like when I'm free, really.
1:41:07
Yeah, so is there any streamers or sim racers or Old that you
1:41:13
look up to your inspiration.
1:41:17
Well, I love, love 46 and Emory.
1:41:20
Those are like, I would love to be as fast as, they're just so good.
1:41:23
They're very talented.
1:41:25
Mm-hmm . They're probably the first ladies I noticed.
1:41:28
And then the iron dames in real life, they're always winning stuff.
1:41:32
Like they're impressive.
1:41:33
They're, it's so cool to have like an all ladies team and they're
1:41:37
just doing great out there.
1:41:38
Mm-hmm . I like when my cat keeps me up to date of them.
1:41:41
And then, I also just like the streamers that are having fun,
1:41:45
like Matt Malone and Quirt.
1:41:48
I feel like I learn a lot from Dan Suzuki.
1:41:51
Every time I break something on the triples or the display, my husband has to
1:41:56
watch a Dan Suzuki video to fix it, so.
1:41:58
He's been very helpful.
1:42:00
Yeah, Dan Suzuki, some sort of, like this year, or about the triple
1:42:05
spin tip, something like that.
1:42:07
Very helpful.
1:42:10
Yeah.
1:42:10
Even I have learned how to like adjust triple settings and like, whoa!
1:42:14
Oh yeah, yeah, It's fun to learn all this stuff.
1:42:17
Iracing has taught me a lot about computers, accidentally, because
1:42:21
you kind of have to, I don't know, sometimes troubleshoot some stuff.
1:42:26
Right.
1:42:26
It's good though.
1:42:27
I feel like I should know more about computers by now.
1:42:31
Yeah, I don't think, well, simracing in general is more
1:42:33
technical, that's all I'd say.
1:42:35
It's so technical, like you at least have to know how to plug in a USB.
1:42:39
As simple as that.
1:42:40
My mom struggles with that.
1:42:43
Yeah.
1:42:44
Before I get into simracing, I don't think I know how to build
1:42:48
a PC or how does the PC work.
1:42:50
Like, inside the case, like, I don't know how it works.
1:42:53
It's more like a magic for me, but Yeah, after I'm getting into sim
1:42:58
racing and iRacing, I build my own PC.
1:43:00
Like, I feel like I'm proud of myself.
1:43:03
That's so cool!
1:43:04
Well done!
1:43:05
I wanna build one.
1:43:06
I'm gonna take this one apart and try and put it back together.
1:43:09
Try and put it back together, like a Lego.
1:43:12
Yeah.
1:43:12
If I don't stream on Friday, we know what happens.
1:43:15
I'm planning to build another PC, like, for streaming.
1:43:19
Probably, like, next Friday.
1:43:21
Oh, that's so cool!
1:43:22
So, everything is, like, cheap, on discount.
1:43:25
Maybe I'll get Uhhuh, you know?
1:43:27
But Yeah.
1:43:28
'cause building a, building a pc and I don't know, like I would love to do that.
1:43:33
I just wanna know.
1:43:34
I can do that.
1:43:36
It's fun.
1:43:36
It's really fun.
1:43:37
It's really fun.
1:43:38
It's like, if you know how to build a Lego, you'll get the logic.
1:43:42
Yeah.
1:43:42
It's like Legos.
1:43:42
Yeah.
1:43:42
Mm-hmm . You'll get the logic off building it, I mean.
1:43:46
Yeah, well, testing it, turning it on after you put everything is the
1:43:51
scariest part of building a PC.
1:43:53
And then waiting for it to like register on the desktop
1:43:55
when it comes to the screen.
1:43:57
I need to see the Windows logo.
1:43:59
It's probably such a good feeling though when it turns on.
1:44:02
Yeah, yeah, it is.
1:44:05
Like, when I, when I succeed building my PC, building my sim setup and everything,
1:44:11
I feel like that is like the biggest achievement for me in sim racing.
1:44:15
More than winning the race.
1:44:17
That's cool.
1:44:18
That's hard to do.
1:44:18
I have no idea how to do that.
1:44:22
Did you just learn through YouTube videos or how did you learn?
1:44:25
Oh, trust me.
1:44:26
I learned from YouTube University.
1:44:29
That's how I learned how to be a plumber.
1:44:31
Yeah, that's how I learned.
1:44:32
And also I read some articles on Reddit.
1:44:35
Like, yeah, just reading articles on Reddit.
1:44:39
I don't really like dive deep into it, but just look on the surface and just to
1:44:44
see a little review about what you want.
1:44:47
Yeah, and then you're like, here we go, let's try it, and you did it.
1:44:50
Like, yeah.
1:44:51
That's awesome.
1:44:53
I think to build a PC, you should know what specs do you want in your PC.
1:44:58
If you know what you want in your PC, then finding the piece of it,
1:45:02
like going to Micro Center, or like Best Buy or something like
1:45:06
that, it's not that hard, you know.
1:45:07
As long as you know what you want.
1:45:09
What you want to maximize in your PC.
1:45:11
I think that's how I do it.
1:45:14
For me, when I build this PC, I want to, I don't care about the rest, because I
1:45:18
was focusing on my GPU, my graphic cards.
1:45:22
So, for my graphic cards, then I will start like, finding the
1:45:25
guide about which motherboard, what RAM, CPU, and everything.
1:45:31
Nice.
1:45:32
Yeah.
1:45:32
Build it around there.
1:45:33
Uh huh, yeah.
1:45:34
That's how I do it.
1:45:35
That's how I do.
1:45:36
Building my PC and learning from YouTube Universe.
1:45:40
And we go from there.
1:45:41
Yeah, we go from there.
1:45:43
If we made a mistake, we learn something from there.
1:45:45
Yeah, we'll learn from the mistake.
1:45:47
I'll take it.
1:45:48
It's just like iRacing.
1:45:49
Just like in iRacing.
1:45:51
Yeah, I mean, after all, like, iRacing is really, like, teaching
1:45:55
us about a lot of things.
1:45:56
Not just iRacing.
1:45:58
It's so good.
1:45:59
It teaches you, like, to fail and keep trying.
1:46:02
You're like, okay, you didn't win.
1:46:03
Let's try again.
1:46:06
It's not the end of the world.
1:46:07
It's still fun.
1:46:08
And it really teach you like, oh yeah, and it's time for you
1:46:12
to actually learn this thing.
1:46:14
Because if you're not learning, you're not like, you're not
1:46:16
progressing, you're not improving, so.
1:46:18
Yeah.
1:46:19
Yeah, that's why I'm like, okay, it's time for me to actually
1:46:22
go fast at least, right?
1:46:23
Especially like Yeah, definitely.
1:46:25
If you ever find yourself in like, autopilot days, and you're
1:46:28
just like, what am I doing?
1:46:29
Yeah.
1:46:30
I don't know, am I driving?
1:46:31
Am I driving or am I not driving?
1:46:33
Who's driving?
1:46:34
Yeah.
1:46:37
Iron Dames for the win.
1:46:38
Yeah, they're, they're exceptionally good.
1:46:41
Like, yeah.
1:46:42
I think they won the Imola.
1:46:44
Wait, were they on podium?
1:46:46
I think they did.
1:46:47
Were they winning the Imola?
1:46:49
I forgot, but you will always find her, find this Iron Dames
1:46:53
in podium, winning the race.
1:46:55
Oh yeah.
1:46:56
It's so impressive.
1:46:57
It's, like, inspirational.
1:46:59
I want to be fast.
1:47:00
I want to beat the boys, too.
1:47:02
I want to beat everyone.
1:47:05
I want to beat everyone, yeah.
1:47:06
I want to be fast.
1:47:08
I want to be fast and beat everyone.
1:47:10
I really like to beat myself.
1:47:12
I think that's why the rally has been so fun lately, because it's just yourself
1:47:15
on the mountain and you're just, like, trying to beat your old times.
1:47:18
It's very fun.
1:47:20
I think you mentioned also earlier, you like the, you
1:47:23
like the Richard Burns movie.
1:47:26
Yeah, that was really fun.
1:47:27
I just barely, my husband just barely installed that for me, and it's,
1:47:31
it's like, oh my gosh, there's so many different rally cars, so fun,
1:47:36
different rally tracks, I would love to get more rally tracks on iRacing.
1:47:40
I was wondering, as I was driving up the canyons by my house, uh, it would
1:47:45
be so fun to get, I wonder if you could make canyons, like, how do, how do they
1:47:50
make the tracks on iRacing, how do they make the tracks for, Like Pike's Peak.
1:47:54
I want to make the track by my house so I can race them.
1:47:58
I wonder how people do that.
1:48:00
Yeah.
1:48:00
It got me wonder also.
1:48:03
But iRacing did such a fantastic job.
1:48:06
Scanning the car and the track.
1:48:08
I know for a lot of people iRacing can be pricey because you need to pay the
1:48:13
subscription you need to buy the content but I feel like you get what you pay.
1:48:18
Like, I feel like okay you need to spend like a certain amount of
1:48:24
money and Yeah, you have to, like, pay for something, but you don't
1:48:31
actually get what you pay, so yeah.
1:48:33
Yeah, they have options too, like, I love that they do the
1:48:36
participation thing if you do.
1:48:38
It's eight races out of the season.
1:48:40
You get credits like seven bucks or eight bucks for a class.
1:48:43
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:48:44
I do that every season.
1:48:45
So it's like free car.
1:48:46
I love it.
1:48:47
Mm hmm.
1:48:47
Mm hmm.
1:48:48
I like that they have that.
1:48:49
Very cool.
1:48:50
Yeah, the participation program.
1:48:52
I love it.
1:48:52
Like, yeah, I wish I could be more committed to one series instead
1:48:56
of like keep on jumping to every.
1:48:59
Oh, leapfrogging around.
1:49:02
But my problem is like, I cannot race every race.
1:49:05
Like, yeah, that's That's my biggest issue with commenting.
1:49:09
Flavor of the week for me.
1:49:10
Not every, I can't do everything.
1:49:12
Yeah, yeah, that's what I wish.
1:49:16
We'll see, we'll see.
1:49:17
Maybe I will get into more simracing when I'm not traveling
1:49:20
after the NASCAR season done.
1:49:23
When is NASCAR season over?
1:49:25
November?
1:49:27
The final will be at Phoenix, so I might go to the final.
1:49:32
I would love to have you!
1:49:33
On the track, let me know if you are planning to go, if you
1:49:36
wanna go, seriously, let me know.
1:49:40
Yeah, if I end up doing my first race, I'll let you know.
1:49:43
I'm gonna do one eventually.
1:49:44
I'm like intimidated by the crowds.
1:49:46
I really don't like large crowds and loud noises.
1:49:51
I will take you to somewhere nice on the track, don't worry.
1:49:55
I'll take you somewhere nice at the track where you can sit, there's not
1:49:58
many people around you, because I don't like being around a lot of people, like,
1:50:03
you know, in the middle of a concert.
1:50:06
Uh huh, yeah, exactly.
1:50:08
Why are you standing so very close to me?
1:50:12
There's the unbreathed air.
1:50:13
Yeah.
1:50:14
Don't take my oxygen.
1:50:16
Not like that but, Don't breathe in my air.
1:50:18
Don't breathe my air.
1:50:20
That's my air.
1:50:20
Give it back.
1:50:22
It's more like, I love being around a lot of people, but if it's too
1:50:26
crowded with music, people talking, people chatting, like a lot of
1:50:30
things happening in one time, in one area, it really stress me out.
1:50:35
I think like overstimulated, like the baby.
1:50:38
Yeah.
1:50:39
. I dunno what to look at.
1:50:42
. Yeah.
1:50:44
And Oh, oh yeah.
1:50:45
Sophie said you could make a track on Aceto Ora.
1:50:48
We don't mop.
1:50:48
Oh.
1:50:49
Do you get into Aceto Ora or not?
1:50:52
Not really.
1:50:53
Uh, I'm pretty sure we have a CC.
1:50:55
I don't know if we have just a set of corset, but I know we have a CC.
1:50:59
Ah, AZA is crazy.
1:51:01
Like the community.
1:51:02
That's one.
1:51:02
Build it on.
1:51:03
Yeah.
1:51:04
The community is like.
1:51:06
It's not usually.
1:51:07
I feel like it's only five bucks on Steam sale usually.
1:51:10
Yeah, yeah.
1:51:12
Assetto Corsa is like a perfect sim to start.
1:51:15
If you want to get into the PC, sim racing on PC, you should go to Assetto
1:51:20
Corsa like the best of the best.
1:51:23
I should try more of them.
1:51:24
I like to see the differences between them all.
1:51:26
You should try.
1:51:27
You should try Assetto Corsa like one time.
1:51:30
ACC, I like it, but ACC is quite limited because most of the time
1:51:36
you're only driving the GT2, GT3, GT4, um, in the track that is like
1:51:41
racing in SNO, motorsport event, like, yeah, ACC, I like it, but it's quite
1:51:49
limited, that's how I describe it.
1:51:52
But in Assetto Corsa, the sky is the limit, well, really.
1:51:56
The sky is the limit, like, you can find I don't know,
1:51:58
look into that, I love freedom.
1:52:00
I love freedom.
1:52:02
You can find lots of freedom in Assetto Corsa, like, really.
1:52:04
Oh, lovely.
1:52:07
You can do drifting, if you're into drifting.
1:52:09
Oh, fun.
1:52:11
Have you tried drifting?
1:52:13
Uh, like, not on purpose.
1:52:15
Not on purpose, but by accident, yeah, sometimes.
1:52:17
Going around some corners, and you're like, ooh, that felt fun.
1:52:22
Yeah, if you're interested to get into drifting, I think, um, yeah,
1:52:27
I think in screen to script we will have like a drifting coaching
1:52:30
program with, uh, ESDA, so.
1:52:33
Oh yes, I think I saw something about that in the chat.
1:52:37
Yeah, so if you want to get into it, like, I don't know, just
1:52:40
try and find out if you like it.
1:52:42
Let us know.
1:52:42
Yeah.
1:52:43
Like we will have coaching.
1:52:45
Yeah, we'll have coaching and stuff, so.
1:52:48
Feel free to join if you're interested, like, let us know if you want to join.
1:52:54
If you want to join, yes.
1:52:56
Yeah, and for all of you guys also in the chat, Ash, Cheese, everyone, if you
1:53:01
guys want to get into some drifting, we will have a coaching, we will have a
1:53:06
coaching program and yeah, let us know.
1:53:09
Maybe I will get into it.
1:53:11
I think I never got into it.
1:53:13
You haven't gotten into the drift yet?
1:53:15
No, not yet.
1:53:16
Early in drifting?
1:53:17
No, I haven't yet.
1:53:20
Spend so much time, so much time into it.
1:53:22
Yeah, it's like a whole different, they could have a license for that on iRacing.
1:53:26
Yeah.
1:53:28
Oh, by the way, have you tried, um, dirt roads?
1:53:32
Uh, Dirt Road I've done a few of, like with the rally jumps and stuff.
1:53:37
I went through a phase of that with the jumpy trucks, those are really fun.
1:53:41
And then I kind of, I lost interest with those, I stuck with the dirt ovals more.
1:53:45
And the sprint cars, the 305s, those are so fun.
1:53:48
Oh god, the 305s are so fun.
1:53:49
They sound like little mosquitoes.
1:53:51
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:53:53
Matthew, Matthew is the dirt oval driver, like he drives in real life.
1:53:57
Um, Window TV.
1:53:59
He was in the chat.
1:54:00
And yeah, he drives the micro, wait, uh, Matthew, I forgot.
1:54:05
Were you driving the, uh, the micro sprint?
1:54:08
Like the car in rookie class, you know, the new car in rookie class?
1:54:12
There's like, one of them is wingless and one of them has a wing.
1:54:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:54:16
The wingless one is really hard for me to control.
1:54:19
Ah, the wingless is.
1:54:20
I don't know how to describe it.
1:54:22
A wild ride.
1:54:24
But the wing is super fun.
1:54:25
Like, that guy likes to scream.
1:54:27
It's so fun.
1:54:31
And you're just going in circles.
1:54:32
But everybody can, I don't know, I saw a lot of airborne in the movies.
1:54:37
Yeah, they roll.
1:54:39
They're fun.
1:54:40
Yeah, that's super fun.
1:54:42
Yeah, I used to do a lot of Dirt Oval, like when I got burned out from Oval, from
1:54:47
Ruth, I would throw myself into Dirt Oval.
1:54:50
Yeah, it's a nice change, it's fun.
1:54:53
They're really fast too, they are over in like 15 minutes.
1:54:57
Oh yeah.
1:54:58
Some of them can go longer.
1:55:02
Yeah, it's like 15 20 minutes of freeze, I think, most of the time.
1:55:07
So it's like, I never got serious, like really serious, into third level.
1:55:11
I'm doing it for fun.
1:55:12
So, I'm, I'm literally just throwing myself with zero
1:55:15
practice and just doing it.
1:55:17
Yeah, that's how I feel with all of it.
1:55:19
Maybe I want to try and take it all just a smidge more serious.
1:55:23
I still want to have, like, all the fun, but I do want to be a little more serious.
1:55:28
Yeah.
1:55:28
I feel like I understand a little bit more now that it, I can, before it's,
1:55:33
it's like, I don't even know what a green flag was, I didn't know what a yellow flag
1:55:37
was, I knew what a checkered flag was.
1:55:39
Yeah, all you know is the checkered flag.
1:55:41
Blue flag, I was like, what's that, what's a meatball, I don't know any of this.
1:55:45
I just understand so much more.
1:55:46
I feel like I want to, like, try harder.
1:55:51
So I can get better.
1:55:52
That makes sense.
1:55:53
Yeah, well, it really depends.
1:55:55
Maybe like one day if you got into the, like a league race or something that
1:55:59
is like high competition, high level, then you wanna start to get serious, but
1:56:04
in my opinion, as long as you're doing like officials on daily basis and you
1:56:09
are doing it for fun, don't lose it.
1:56:11
Like, don't do it.
1:56:12
Yeah.
1:56:13
Yeah.
1:56:14
I, sometimes I'll be, like, racing and I'm like, this isn't fun, and then I
1:56:17
have to take a break for, like, the rest of the day, and then I go back
1:56:20
to the next day and it's fun again.
1:56:22
Yeah.
1:56:22
Sometimes you have to, like, take a break.
1:56:25
Like Just need a breather.
1:56:26
Yeah.
1:56:27
Take a step back, touch some grass in real life, and, you know, like, yeah.
1:56:31
Go pet my dog.
1:56:35
Meatball flight means you're hungry inside the car.
1:56:37
Yeah, now I'm hungry.
1:56:38
I'm hungry, I need a snack.
1:56:40
I need a snack, I need a meatball.
1:56:42
Oh my god, my first time learning the meatball flight,
1:56:47
I learned it in a hard way.
1:56:48
So, I was like, doing the GT3 endurance, I think it was at Sebring, I crashed.
1:56:55
I got the mid move flag, but I feel like I still can drive this car, so it's fine.
1:57:00
I did three laps, I got disqualified.
1:57:02
Now I know.
1:57:03
No!
1:57:03
Oh, no!
1:57:04
My car was fine!
1:57:07
So funny.
1:57:08
I can drive the car!
1:57:09
This is soft, people!
1:57:10
Not that bad!
1:57:11
Not that bad!
1:57:11
I can drive on it!
1:57:13
My wheel wasn't even I don't know, my wheel was straight!
1:57:17
I got the meatball, I know.
1:57:19
But, I was like, what is that?
1:57:21
I got that kind of meatball.
1:57:22
Nothing's wrong with it.
1:57:24
Just irising.
1:57:25
Like, I can do this irising.
1:57:27
Take out that meatball flag for me, please.
1:57:28
Don't doubt me.
1:57:30
Don't doubt me.
1:57:30
Do not underestimate me at driving a car.
1:57:32
There's nothing different with a car.
1:57:36
I learned it in a hard way, so That's so rough.
1:57:40
That's funny though.
1:57:41
A good rough memory, but a funny one.
1:57:44
Yeah, but at least I learned it.
1:57:45
Now, every time I'm getting a meatball, I'm back to pit.
1:57:48
Like, yeah, bro, I will fix it.
1:57:50
Like, yeah, bro, I will fix it.
1:57:52
Okay.
1:57:54
Meatball Marinara shop, yeah.
1:57:55
Meatball Marinara.
1:57:59
Oh my god, by the way, oh, Jesus.
1:58:01
See, I've spoken, it's two hours, I keep on saying it every week to
1:58:05
everyone, it will be a quick interview, one hour, we'll be chatting, and
1:58:10
it's down to two hours now, and my record was with Jamie, I think?
1:58:16
It was like, there was like one talk that is like almost hit three hours mark.
1:58:20
What?
1:58:23
Time flies.
1:58:24
Time flies, I know right.
1:58:26
And by the way, before we end the stream, I don't know if you can
1:58:30
see this well and everyone, but this is what I got from Chicago.
1:58:38
What is it?
1:58:38
Can you describe it to me?
1:58:39
I got sunburned, Belle.
1:58:41
I got sunburned.
1:58:42
Oh, you got sunburned?
1:58:44
So bad.
1:58:44
This is what I got coming back from Chicago.
1:58:47
Ash.
1:58:48
A souvenir.
1:58:49
A souvenir from Chicago.
1:58:50
Like, I was this white and now I am this tan.
1:58:53
Like, from two days.
1:58:55
It's two days trip to a racetrack, I believe.
1:58:58
So I think I'm slightly sunburned from paddle boarding.
1:59:01
Can match.
1:59:02
Ahaha.
1:59:03
So next time, if you go to a racetrack, don't forget to bring your sunscreen.
1:59:06
Always sunscreen.
1:59:08
Always sunscreen.
1:59:09
Yeah.
1:59:11
Yeah, it's a 10.
1:59:13
Yeah, I know, Ash.
1:59:14
Yeah, This is like a milk and a coffee.
1:59:16
That's how my mom say it.
1:59:17
Like, you, you look like a milk coffee.
1:59:19
I was like, what milk?
1:59:21
What?
1:59:21
What, what, what?
1:59:22
What is milk?
1:59:23

1:59:24
You know the white one is milk.
1:59:26

1:59:27
I was like, haha.
1:59:28
So funny.
1:59:29
It hurts.
1:59:30

1:59:31
It's burning right now.
1:59:32
I put burn.
1:59:34
I put a lot of olive.
1:59:37
I touch grass.
1:59:39
I touch grass, I touch the McDonald's bridge, I touch the Nascar Chicago
1:59:44
walls, I touch everything last weekend.
1:59:46
I'm touching everything.
1:59:48
Oh, it's so fun.
1:59:49
How fun.
1:59:51
I touch the tires.
1:59:52
I always want to, I, I can obsess with tires, so every time I see tires
1:59:56
on the pit lane, I will touch it.
1:59:57
I don't know, I will touch it for no reason.
2:00:00
I feel like that makes it more real, more tactile too, when you're seeing all this
2:00:04
stuff on the, the sim in the game, and then you can like touch it in real life.
2:00:08
It's a pleasure.
2:00:09
Yeah, every time I'm going to a racetrack, I got that feeling in
2:00:13
me, like, I wanna drive that car.
2:00:14
Probably for real, like a dream.
2:00:17
Mhmm.
2:00:18
Like, I wanna drive this car one day.
2:00:20
That's what I keep on saying, like, when I was in Chicago, like, Bro, these bro
2:00:25
are driving so fast, like the sound of this cop car are so brutal, like brr, brr,
2:00:31
brr, you know the sound of a stop car.
2:00:34
Like you can feel it in your, in your chest.
2:00:37
Yeah, and I want to be a part of that, you know, it gives me that feeling,
2:00:41
so hopefully one day I'll be able to.
2:00:45
I'll be able to, yeah, drive in real life hopefully one day.
2:00:49
