Dropped the foot pedal plate from my T300 onto my foot the other day and limped for the better part of a week. Apparently sim racing is a contact sport.

So basically I ate poo poo in qualifying and the 1st race gambling on lower tire pressures, the final race would've been a decent recovery drive had I not run the tires down to the cords with three or four laps to go which meant the thing just had horrific understeer.

Best part about this will be Daddy Palmer's outraged reaction to Abiteboul telling him that Jollyon has been shitcanned, and Abiteboul's subsequent reply.

Yes, I have walked along the path of evil many times, it's a twisting curving path, that actually leads to a charming block garden, but beyond that evil!

I was watching some Formula 2 stuff, and the announcer kept saying Charles Leclerc first name like Char, so the nerd in me will call him the The Red Comet while he's with Ferrari.

He won't you know. Palmer is in formula 1 so Daddy can sell corporate track days to people in the paddock, formula e is a whole different market. He might get a drive in WEC or another tin top series though.

I somehow doubt the tiny msv logo on his helmet is selling anymore palmersport days. Even though they are pretty much one of the best track experiences you can do.

You guys do remember that every time the worst thread hypes someone or something they turn out to be a massive disappointment right? Kube is going to be a fan favourite, finish in the points a couple of times and do gently caress all else.

Nah, I had tires that I kinda thought would be marginal throughout the day and it was pretty obvious with 3 or 4 laps left to go that something had happened because the kart just had horrific understeer. the other side had the same thing but just not as bad. The club switched what tire brand you could use over the winter and these wear out way faster than the old ones.

It's a hobby and I'm skeptical that I'm going to enjoy it that much more spending money to buy new tires. Plus there's poo poo within the hobby I'd rather spend my cash on like a trailer and tools that isn't going to vanish in 3 races time.
