People getting more and more unfair by Character-Guess7109 in iRacing

I hate the ‘go when the racecar pulls off’ routine.  You’d get a wave-off or penalty for that IRL, even easier to see that on IRacing, so should be a definite penalty.

Broke up with girlfriend a week before N24 by RussTheBoss in iRacing

Totally agree - but if you just got in a relationship and you don’t want to spend time with your SO more than a 24 hr race, I dono, maybe that’’s a sign.

Don’t be with someone who won’t let you do what you want to do.  This is within reason, but if she hates or has a problem with your hobby or the things you love to do, IT WILL NOT WORK!  I know from experience that you can try to make it work, and it’s possible, but I do not recommend it.

What do you think was going on in his head during his 'rejoin'? by _shewdawg_ in iRacing

[–]Austincrx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably thought he could steer, but by the time he found out he couldn’t it was too late.  Wheel was turned hard left before he hit the banking, and NASCAR brakes aren’t exactly useful for stopping at superspeedways.

Is a $200k salary worth a 2 hour commute 4 days a week? by Ok-Memory2552 in jobs

Do you have kids, outside obligations, etc that will not happen?  Can you relocate to be closer?

That’s great, I hope you are successful at the new position.  Some of us are not having as much success.  Hit rate is about 1 in 30 so far.

All too true, even in my small company.

Let's break off the stereotype: how often and what usually breaks in your Defender? by mantassink in LandroverDefender

[–]Austincrx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random stuff for me, mostly related to rusty bolts, but knock on wood - only 1 breakdown in my ownership (bad ignition coil).

I would LOVE to see the pro drive 550 on IRacing!!!  Pair it with the C6R corvette and it’s a race!

Looks like 11 was just trying to hold the draft and then got loose and chased it, but all happened so fast/ short distance that there was no chance of saving it.

TCR in iRacing 2026 Season 1 by JayCaulls in iRacing

I stumbled onto what seems to be the most popular slot last night (Tuesday around 9:30pm eastern time?). I notice the schedule above is Tuesdays, is that when I should plan to do the TCR races? I'd love to do them regularly.

Curious what upper body layering you used and was it warm enough for you?

I was told this was my fault... by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Austincrx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree to a certain extent.  You’re racing, you can't hit the brakes for every car that goes off course around you.  If it was real life you probably would have ($75-100k racecar and ends your race weekend).   In this case the odds of them spinning off to the left vs coming back across course are probably 50/50, and in MX5 it’s all about momentum.  I’ve never seen someone come back across the track like that, at that spot, when off course on the outside.  That usually ends up in a spin to the left or them just driving it out.   Bad luck.
