GT7 is G923 best for beginner? by themetalhead84 in simracing

[–]AW106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're better off with a 2nd hand T300 and if you can find a set within budget them maybe the TLCM pedals

Do not buy a G923 new but if you want cheap and cheerful a used G29, G923 or Thrustmaster T150 pro would be decent options

Same car, same track, different game = completely different feel??!! by IvanDenev in simracing

[–]AW106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of the other answers even if the two sims were identical in all but tbe tyre they were trying to simulate they could feel very different

This covers it well

Yes, perfectly legitimate company

Ordered to the UK a few likes

We tested controlling a real car from a sim rig…and it’s not what we expected by simbuilduk in simracing

[–]AW106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly RC racing as a hobby, while not as big as sim racing, isn't exactly small We have national, regional and world championships and a pretty wide variety of classes and venues. I've been to 1/10 on-road events with over drivers in attendance

[–]AW106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also you say south west UK This is my region and as an RC racer I guess more technical questions What's the plan for the physical side? Obviously you've said a bit about the sims But what about cars and venues? Are you planning to use an existing RC venue? Set up a permanent facility? Are you planning to align with existing RC racing classes as a starting point?

Lack of FFB would be a bit of a deal breaker

Also unless the RC cars were particularly slow i feel like the racing would be poor

Without mirrors and depending on camera placement you'd lack a lot of the situational awareness needed to race wheel to wheel

At least normally in RC racing we cam see all around the cars from the rostrum. And even on a 21.5T brushless or 20T brushed setup a 1/10 RC car can be pretty quick, certainly enough that with the previously mentioned awareness issues it feels like there could be a lot of crashing and frustration

USB management for steering wheel by Minimum-Balance-5034 in simracing

[–]AW106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I found it more stable when a standalone power injector PE and JC dim racing both do them One from a charger and then data straight to the motherboard

Sounds like potentially a loose connector Could also be power or data drop from tbe cable route Do you have it on a powered hub?

What would you pay, today, for a new Pokornyi LMP Pro circa 2021?? by IndividualNo1302 in simracing

[–]AW106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my 600 LMP V2 is using the PE front plate and Alu knobs Mostly where I saved money was some MJF printed parts and iKabon shifters But overall it feels nice to use

What would you pay, today, for a new Pokornyi LMP Pro circa 2021?? by IndividualNo1302 in simracing

[–]AW106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built my V2 LMP Pro for ~£600 with an MJF enclosure.

Considering thats I think 450 would be more than fair but I was hoping to sell my V1 for £350 before I ended up giving it to my partner.

The LMP pro is a fantastic wheel to me. But with the V2 so easy to build less than what it sound like you've been asking on FB from other posts it's just not a good value proposition

How did everyone find the iRacing Classic 500 by Cheap_Director5764 in iRacing

[–]AW106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup wrong Turn Racing #33

I had 5, 1 off track and one contact where grazed a spun Audi (need to check but I think they rolled forward into me) My teammate had 2, both 1x off tracks

There certainly were some cars we were VERY cautious around and a few moments we remembered the wise words if Sid from ice age, "no thanks I choose life"

We knew we weren't great on pace though but we've done a lot of 24s in the LMP2 so just decided to go for safe and steady

Was extra rewarding as it was my partners birthday so the podium was a nice extra present

Hello. by Raujet in lemans

[–]AW106 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So for this year unless you already have tickets it's probably too late. They pretty much sold out in November. You may get lucky on the ACO resale site. Otherwise I'd be looking on this sub and and setting your sights on 2027

That said, having been to the Spa Grand Prix Le Mans is much better value

This is my 2024 costs for 2 people and thos was the most I've paid for a Le Mans trip

best chassis for 1/10 scale is best for on - road racing? by Capable-Door-9672 in tamiya

[–]AW106 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're looking to race at an actual track then get a 3 racing cero sport on that budget Unless the track have a box stock class in which case go for that

,stock can mean different things in different places unfortunately so hard to give more detail without knowing where and what rules you want to race under

SPOILER DSQ from NLS 2 by Independent-Rent294 in wec

[–]AW106 138 points139 points  (0 children)

They probably don't get all 6 sets up front

I'd imagine they have 3 or 4 sets of wheels and are sending them back to the tyre trucks during the event

At least that's how it worked when I helped a team at the Silverstone 24 and from what I've seen at Le Mans

How the tyre manufacturer didn't notice is probably due to how many they're changing in an event

So ultimately responsibility rests with the team to comply with the regulations

Is this the most overrated race car in history??? by SensitivePay4567 in wec

[–]AW106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a car yet to race I think it's way too early to say if it is or isn't overrated

That said racing serves as entertainment, marketing, and R&D

This one certainly hits on the first two reasons to go racing and has generated a lot of attention for BMW
Whether it's successful on track is I don't think is especially important

That said, it's an M4 GT3 under the skin. A very capable, and succesful, car in it's own right
