    Hello my Peregrini friends!!

    Another video is up.
    In this video we will distribute all the drivers into their respective groups for the races. After tweaking a lot with my video editor, I learned how to properly make an animation showcasing how the distribution occurs. I also made a few adjustments - group 1 will have 8 cars. Before was group 3 - as a result of my excel formula becoming more compact and better performant.

    Attending Ari suggestion, I decided to drive in the game, something I actually have barely done. It wasn't the best, but it also wasn't the worse. So I did a good lap in comparison to my AI friends. Kind of mid to bottom-table performance.

    Here's the video for convenience:


    Enjoy!

    Hello my Peregrini friends!

    Guess what? It’s race day! We’re kicking things off with Group 3, just like we chatted about in our last video.

    Cian Falloon is leading our group today. He’s also in the driver’s seat for the whole championship, with just a 1-point lead over Salomon Puma. This race is super important for him to keep that top spot!
    And keep an eye on Jolanta, who’s starting in 7th place. She’s really hoping to break into the Top 7, so this is a big moment for her.
    As for the rest of the drivers, their scores are all over the place, so it’s hard to tell who’s going to do well. But trust me, they’re all ready to fight for their place in the championship!
    Let’s cheer for our drivers today!

    Did you change graphics for better? The environment looks much more realistic that before, in my opinion.
    Overall, really great video!

    Hello my Peregrini friends.

    I has been a while I don't upload and I don't come here. Been working on something else and it kind of worked as a break from making the videos. But here I am, back on it.

    The second part of our racing day has arrived. Our next drivers are ready to take on the track, and to be honest, quite anxious. We will watch the second group with Salomon leading them all. Salomon who is battling for the first position of the championship. It is also crucial moment for Zacharias who is at the bottom of the table and has a big chance to accrued some very important points, provided he finishes this race Who is going to be the fastest today?

    Thank you!

    One more great video today!

    Hello my Peregrini friends!!!

    It has been 3 weeks since my last upload. Been busy with some other stuff and kind of bored with the Camera Path creation part of this video. Camera Path creation is kind of tedious and I find it hard to keep doing it, even if for a 7 minutes video, usually takes a couple of hours... so, yeah, I allowed boredom intervene in the process and my bad. My sincere apologies for those who enjoy the videos.

    The third part of our racing day has arrived. Our next drivers are ready to take on the track, and to be honest, quite anxious.

    We will watch the third group with Nina Hill leading them all. Nina Hill is the best qualifier in the season having 2nd as her worse starting position, but has failed to finish a race in a good position, if any at all.

    It is also an important moment for all drivers as the majority is at the bottom of the table, so a good finishing position will contribute to a potential huge jump in the table standings.

    Very cool concept, liked it.
    Will you do an oval race with them? Like on the WCUSA oval or other oval

    That is good idea. What about a dirt oval race with some derby-like cars?

    Would be cool too, but the AI doesn't slide too much in the dirt making the race very bland if it is on a oval

    Thanks for the suggestion fishbazookas

    I personally don't like ovals, and there's a channel that does that already. You may know him, or may not. so here's the link:

    Hello my Peregrini friends!!!

    I come here to announce a huge milestone, and another episode, to those who follow this series.
    I've reached 50 subs. Yupi!!!!
    It definitely isn't much, but for a person who is learning how to "entertain" without being over the top, that means a lot.

    In this episode, Ari challenged me to a head-to-head with the goal of putting me in the driving seat as he knew I wouldn't match his skills.
    As challenge given is challenge accepted.... Of course I did.
    The funny part is that this video was in production right when I reached 50 subs.... so then a bigger reason to release it just made itself known.

    Apart from that, I had a breakthrough regarding the AI behavior which I'll post in another thread at some point
    Enjoy the 50 subs special!!

    ps: all musics were made by Ari

    Watched the video... well, I mostly said everything I wanted in the comment section. Just congrats on 50 subs! Not much, but that is a great starting point! I more believe in you than me lol, because in average your content is more popular.
    And just starting channel as a musician is much harder (in terms of getting popularity), than making full videos. The only thing why I have at least some subs, is because i promote myself on forum and discord servers, and also you promote me too (like in this video) so, thanks to that very very much!!!!! :D

    I always wanted to make music, but I suck for this art, so I can listen to it, and study how the notes work among themselves to provide myself a better listening experience. Also, I'm getting old, so not much time to learn something new, thus creating incentive to those who are younger to continue following what they like doing has become kind of mandatory for me. I'm so egoistic that for me to be happy, others have to be happy, so I'll try to create an environment that supports that, as the end is me being happy :D

    I'm getting some sort of mid-life crisis, even though I haven't reached 40 yet. Not managing to get a job, any job, is frustrating.

    Hello my Peregrini friends!!!

    I would like to announce that 2 episodes are not up since my last update. I completely forgot to add it here, my apologies.

    We have entered the last race for the ETK Series, in this race we will discover who is the best AI driver in this series.
    But first, we need to qualify them to the race and we started with the bottom 8 drivers at the standing table. The video is up for a few days already:


    And today I've released the quali round for the mid 7 drivers:


    I'm quite anxious myself to know who is going to be the best, also, who is going to be able to recover or not.... a whole new dynamic is starting to appear, maybe because it is the 5th race?
    Well, I don't know, but this will be the last race of the series :p

    I hope you enjoy!!

    Hello my Peregrini friends!!

    The last qualifying round has been uploaded to YouTube.



    In the next episode, we will get to know who goes who and then races.... who will be our champion?
    That is the last event of the Series before going silent.

    Hello once again my Peregrini friends!!!

    The final event has reached it's 50% of completion. All drivers have qualified and it was left for us to discover which group each one of them would go to.
    And today's video is exactly about the group distribution.
    I made it as short as I could with some footage of the truck delivering the first 3 of the table.
    Enjoy me rambling about the drivers :D

    Hello my Peregrini Friends!!!

    The final event has come with the race for the Group 3 with Cian Falloone (Irl - 01st - 52pts) at the pole position looking to reach the max points to secure the championship.
    We will also have a huge battle between Eleesha Brooks (Jam - 09th - 25pts) and Donatella Vitello (Ita - 11th - 24pts) as they fight for the best position amongst themselves.

    Who is your favorite? Who is going to win our ETK Series?
    While we still don't have this answer, you can watch who is going to be able to get closer to the trophy!
