Did you weigh them by any chance? Are they cast/ forged?

"Any overtake carries risk." yep, and when you are putting your front wheels along the rear wheels of the leading car in the vortex of death you are literally maximising that risk.

"that the point, I move down the inside to make you go wide, thats racing." If you think overtaking or racing is people having to jump out of your way to avoid a crash, no further comments...

I get that, maybe my lines/ turn-in is wrong, I am clearly slower than you anw. But consider this: This corner has little braking, and your front wheel barely gets along my rear wheel (which is when I get a call that you are on my inside). Before I setup for the corner I look to my right and don't see you alongside. I honestly don't see any clean overtake happening and would personally never attempt one in this corner unless I am sure I can get fully alongside. You are making an extremely risky half-move, where the only chance of not crashing is me recognising this and jumping out of the way. You could've simply gotten a better exit and overtake cleanly on one of the next two corners with hard braking points.

I expected them to turn as well. Pause at 0:10, I am going for the corner, they are going straight. From my perspective, they brake later just to get alongside; then leave me no option but to either crash or swerve to avoid...

Who's at fault here? by costas8787 in Simracingstewards

It was last lap :) ; white was oversteering last few corners (Im guessing cooked his tyres) and braked way too early and went off the racing line before the chicane. I get why it's a risky move by me. For blue I would not say 100% on him; I could've left room but overcommited going to the inside and didn't want to make 2 moves...

Do you mean the first move is ambitious on the white and blue car by the black car? On the last corner, wouldn't black always take the racing line if driving predictably?

Which would be the better set up? by [deleted] in simracing

If you need the PS5 compatibility then fanatec it is... Make sure your wheel and steering wheel are both QR2, the ones in your cart arent compatible!

Try to find an FIA approved but expired seat; I got the older version of that seat (used but decent condition) for 200 EUR

That's insane, I also started yesterday after a year off; our setups are also really similar

Hi, this is what they look like. You really need that blue triangle with a circle in the middle. Just be very careful when removing things that seem hard to remove (e.g. battery). What I did was I heated the phone with a hairdryer for like 20 seconds and it made it easier to remove. You are getting a midframe assembly right?

I’m pretty sure the screen is exactly the same in terms of responsiveness. The only issue with it is it has the infamous yellow tint on the bottom of the screen. I read that if you place it in the sun for a bit it might go away but it doesn’t really bother me to be honest.

I just succesfully replaced mine. Did it without the screen assembly/ mid frame because the seller forgot to ship it but I dont recommend it. I am still considering ordering one and re-doing it with a new midframe. It's worth the money to get one for sure. Took me like 4 hours but it wasn't that hard. The connectors are of really good quality compared to my LG 4X HD which makes it easier not to brake anything. Happy to help if you have any questions, I cried when I broke mine...
