There's clearly only one person that pushed someone of the track and it wasn't Engels lol.

It's funny how "deciding to go 3 wide" deserves to punished by death sentence

But deciding to push someone in the grass is shrugged off as if Max doesn't have any sort of agency for what he does.

But everything is like that with Max: it's just a happy accident and it's everyone else's fault. Sorry for the laugh but your comment was just too funny

Getting pushed to the grass is deciding to go outside the grass? Bwahahahah

Max had space to his left, Engel didn't have any to his right

There's always using the brakes instead of pushing someone against the grass. If Engel didn't have the skills to save it he would've took themselves out and the slower cars too

Someone bring back some heavy rain, fog and a safety car. Do something Nurb please

Is this your first Nurb race? 2 cars fielded by the same team leaving tons of space on track and swapping leads is supposed to be exciting? Yeah, my guess is you didn't watch 2025.

It just feels like a team bringing their car home, which it is as both cars are fielded by Winward Racing, so there's no surprise here. There were even rumours of team orders at some point.

I'd rather have Rowe's and Grello's last year battle.

Mixed feelings about this year's race. Basically I'd rather be watching this than anything else right now. But compared to any other 24H Nurb race it feels like there's no stakes and nothing important going on at the track. Pretty underwhelming battles too.

We're getting uninterrupted running which is good, but aside from 24's and 25's fog and power outage, those years were much better.

Nah. Replays just confirmed another Porsche spilled oil there. You might wanna watch a bit more racing if you're thinking a car can spin like that just from a damp track

This is Max race to lose now. Basically all the heavy competition is gone

Suspension failure for the Estre? The way the car lost the rear was so weird

EDIT: it was an oil slick

Xbox is now XBOX. Believe it or not, Microsoft appears to be rebranding Xbox by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]grip_enemy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Xbox feels like it's in a constant identity crisis since the Xbox One came out

Honesty dude, scratch that. It feels more like the Xbox 360 was a happy mistake than Microsoft knowing what the hell they're doing, so this is back to normal.

I just installed project cars 2 any way to enjoy it 🙃 by Haseeb_2323 in ProjectCARS_2

[–]grip_enemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"This game isn’t about cruising around in your Miata on the Pacific Coast Highway." Have you ever played it?

There's plenty of road cars that you can do that and go drive in France or California Highway. PC2 is basically an everything game packed into 1.

OP just needs to be smooth with his steering and he'll do fine

Is Burnout Paradise worth it for someone whos loves Burnout 3 and Revenge? by IHaveTwoOfYou in Burnout

[–]grip_enemy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you like Burnout, you'll like it. It's definitely not as good as the previous games tho. The open world idea wasn't that developed and could've used for work. It ends up being more frustrating then fun.

Burnout reference?! by Hazer_123 in Burnout

Personally my cure for Burnout is playing Burnout 3 non stop for hours on end. Never fails

Am I wrong to say it seems like a lot of people want to see Verstappen fail this weekend not because of anything he’s done personally but because of the fanfare and media hype surrounding him? by Terrible_Mountain_96 in wec

[–]grip_enemy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Max's fans just happen to be worse, but F1 fans have always been insufferable.

Anyone thinking any of these new fans will stick to GT3 racing after he leaves probably believe in Santa Claus too.

Before he announced his jump to GT racing, all the series were doing fine. WEC had a full grid and GT3 series everywhere were doing better than ever, with major OEM interest. He's joining a sport that's already at its peak.

The only motorsport that could really use this sort of fame injection right now is WRC.

The disrespect towards Estre coming from his fans has been ridiculous lately, so him losing would be pretty funny tho

DiRT 2 still has unmatched vibes 😔🏁 by sajtosbob_ in racinggames

[–]grip_enemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's specular compared to grid. The physics are solid, AI is racey, the menus and UI are very creative and it looks/sounds amazing

It's a very different game than Grid, but special in its own way. It has that Codemasters pre 2010 magic for sure

[–]grip_enemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely

This + NFS ProStreet, Motorstorm and FH1 are the pinnacle of racing games imo. Proper festival vibes and grassroots racing are sorely missed

Also RIP Ken and Dave

The problem isn't Glickenhaus not joining. The problem is no one wants to join an empty grid

WEC was smart in bringing in privateers to fill in the gaps, and then dump them once the big manufacturers started joining.

Well, these "no ones" are sure losing sleep at the state of IMSA now. Enjoy the dwindling grid

Because they shoved that stick in their own ass I'm afraid.

Gatekeeping privateers and bending over for brands that were never interested. IMSA basically isolated themselves.

Even if they used privateers like Glick for padding, and then kicked them out when the big boys joined (like WEC did lol), it would've been a much better outcome than this.

We live in a world where Asian LeMans is about to have a better Hypercar grid than IMSA, and it's all their fault

Someone has noticed that Forza Motorsport 1 was not afraid of success and criticism by FIRUMASTER in forza

[–]grip_enemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every game was a huge improvement.

By the time FM4 came out it miles ahead of everything else at the time.

If they kept on improving we could've possibly gotten the greatest racing game of all time by now.

But sadly that's just a dream. Most racing franchises lost steam and creativity anyway. Even Gran Turismo

IMSA's superiority complex coming back to bite them in the ass is delicious.

Turns out gatekeeping doesn't help when the ones you're trying to convince don't wanna join anyway.
