Is left turn, sweeping curves uphill into sharp left, into five miles of squiggles, into a long straight, into a kink, into a left turn not sufficient? (I probably missed a batch of squiggles or a kink or something)

(I probably missed a batch of squiggles or a kink or something) 2:36 is the best I can manage so far. I picked a hell of a time to move to the anti-stall clutch.

Important news! https://twitter.com/iracing/status/1334173061227163650 I hope this means the LBGP track gets the Stadium Super Truck layout.

I mean, if you add ramps, the Pro4 and Pro2 trucks would be a decent stopgap until the SST would be added. SST and jumps on road courses is exactly what would get me to get out of rookies in Dirt Road

They better be adding the ability to put jumps on tracks. And not like "pick a configuration that has jumps on it" I mean an editor where you can place jumps wherever you want. I want to make a config for Okayama where you can jump over the fence at the end of the long straight and land at the end of the track.

The new 2021 car actually looks really good in that regard, although it got pushed to 2022 because of corona  I can't wait for F1 with easier passing. Car looks hot as poo poo too. So its like a Super Ultra Skip Barber. Sign me the gently caress up. Did Dallara actually build one, or is this purely a concept car?

The new M4 GT3 is coming to iRacing and Fanatec is also making a rim that is exactly the same as what is used in the car. Rims for the real car and the sim version supposedly come off the same assembly line. It communicates via CANbus or whatever protocol fanatec has with their rims. It will either be absurdly expensive, or cheap enough for nerds to buy and will constantly be broken for M4 teams. https://twitter.com/iRacingMyers/status/1335258405532000261 https://bmw.fanatec.com/ Cojawfee fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Dec 5, 2020 |

Fanatec has categorized the wheel under their "podium" line, so it's gonna be absurdly expensive.

Is it only going to work with their podium base, or will it be compatible with the clubsport base?

Just gave the rallycross stuff a shot. It's a lot of fun, but they need a beginner series that isn't "here's a 600+ HP monster try not to die"

Alright, once rallycross clicks, it's loving amazing. My second race in rookies, I qualified second so I told myself to not worry about being fast and just keep it clean and consistent. I wasn't all that consistent, but I was clean and I ended up taking first by 8 seconds with 0 incidents. My first win in iRacing - even though it was rookies so half the grid ate it on the first corner, I'm still counting it. And it left me with a huge rear end smile on my face. Being smooth on the dirt feels great and drifting is the only thing that's actually easier for me in iRacing than it is in other sims - I can really feel how the pedal brings you out and in. Plus, after you win, you get to do a stupid victory lap where you hoon it all over the track like a jackass.

Yeah, it's more like a dance and it feels really slow when you're doing it but you're actually going like a billion miles an hour but you don't notice because it's smoother and there's a lot less steering input. If you try to Ken Block your way sideways through the course, you'll end up in last or a DNF. I know, he does Rallycross IRL You know what I mean. Luckily, I grew up in a place with snow so I'm okay at modulating traction. This is the first sim that feels "right" to me. Edit: Made it out of Rookies in 3 races.
