I've been doing some testing at Talladega with 0% humidity and 30 mph southerly wind. Managed to hit the limiter on all 3 GT3 cars. Also got the old Indycar up to 255 mph/410 kmh with the dega set and some gear ratio adjustments.

Just managed to run my first clean race... up until after the checkered flag where I ended up spinning on the turn. Also was my first top 5 finish, although I was a lap down. Still proud of myself. Dodges a crazy amount of idiots during the race. Also I have a feeling that I'm going to just end up buying the G27 through Amazon next week instead of buying a cheaper wheel that I'd just end up upgrading later.

If it's in your price range, do it. There is a massive jump in quality from everything cheaper than a G27 to a G27.

Well I just realized today that the Indy qualifying cuts off today. I've got a time in, but it's not a particularly good one, so I get into the last qual session. I've got a good run going, maybe mid to high .6, then I brush the wall coming out of 4. 4! After spending all this drat time getting 1 right, I have brain vapor lock coming out of 4

The only complaint I have with the G27 is it's been like 3 weeks now and the "new plastic smell" hasn't gone away.

Yeah, I know, but I wanted to spend several hours tweaking a setup and taking it super cereal. I didn't even consider that qualifying would end before the last race. I'm more likely to run one of the normal series this weekend now that I'd be stuck with non-qualifying plebs in the 500.

So apparently qualifying is back open since there was confusion and enough people complained. I look forward to stuffing it into the T1 exit several more times when I get home.

Couldn't get under 40.5 all week, stumbled on a setup on the iRacing forums, ran a qualifying average of 39.82  Good luck in the race, guys!

Same here, I figure the odds are astronomical against actually finishing. I should probably be in the 3rd split; I'll be very curious to see what the attrition rate is like.

I didn't realize that they had the Coke 600 launching at the same time, that seems like poor planning.

Still not as cringeworty as when the announcers say I hopes hes alright after a crash. I wish they would just acknowledge they're playing drat internet racecars already. Anything else is obscenely stupid.
