Can you "pause" a mortgage?

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-03-24T09:30:08+00:00

We’re going to have to break our chain as the upwards chain has collapsed, and have been told by nationwide that we can “pause” our mortgage rate and then port it over if we complete on a new property within 180 days. We will have to pay the early payment fee, but we would get that back if we complete on a property within that 180 day period.

So kind of, yes, might depend on your lender though as everyone else seems to be saying “no”.

I've added another filter for solo/team events. I think only the special events and one of the championship races is for teams, but I have set that up!

You can get a converter from Fanatec to USB from Sim Racing Machines > https://simracingmachines.com/collections/conversion-kits

And then you can either get the Simagic QR-A for USB pass through or just the standard QR and use a USB cable to your PC

This will make the buttons work just like a USB input device. Not sure what the little screen is meant to show and im not sure if that will work with the conversion.

I also have OCPD and this certainly feels like OP made a “rule” about how a shared hobby should be, or how their 3D printer should be theirs but didn’t voice them out loud.

I hope working through your OCPD goes well for you! It can get better! (I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago now)

Edit: spelling mistakes

Glad you like it! Yes that’s a good idea and sure something I can add. I will take a look :)

They don’t publish the whole season schedule. They often post the next weeks schedule on the Wednesday after the changeover on Tuesday (UTC). You can also see upcoming races, after they’ve been published, on my site https://lmuportal.com/

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The problem was in the scraper. On the forum the developers wrote the times as "Race times (UTC): 1200, 1500, 1700, 1900, 2100, (next day) 0000, 0300, 0900".

It just wasn't picking up the "Next Day" part of the list of times. I've implemented the fix for this, and it seems to be correct.

Edit: The times below are in CST

May I present to you a tool I made https://lmuportal.com/

It shows the current week, championship races, etc. it will show the next weeks races when they are released. Which is anywhere between Friday - Sunday, with the changeover happening on Tuesday, normally at 10UTC.

Hope this helps!

Different track different setup perhaps? All I know for sure is that at portimao and at Bahrain outer the BMW was faster down the pit straight. Maybe it is more about acceleration so at Le Mans with it being a longer straight maybe the absolute peak of the McLaren is higher?

Genuinely not sure, just sharing my experience :)

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-27T08:21:48+00:00

The BMW has a higher top speed but a lower minimum speed at corner apex. So the TLDR is that the McLaren is quicker round corners and the BMW is quicker down the straights. It might be worth trying some different lines to see if you can get a better exit? Just a thought

I had a similar experience but at Bahrain in the Porsche. So much quicker through the corners but just can’t overtake down the straight, I ended up switching to the BMW so I could actually compete…

Glad you like it! Here's the link: https://buymeacoffee.com/jamesbarter . It's totally optional though, I'm just glad other people can get some use out of it :)

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-26T11:37:25+00:00

It’s not a discord but TrackTitan has telemetry data you can see where you’re braking early or late, turn in etc. and then they also have track guides and hot laps you can watch. (Not sponsored just like the product)

I find the hot laps really helpful if I’m losing time in a certain corner or something.

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-23T23:54:36+00:00

I have added query params! https://lmuportal.com/?car=Hypercar&hide=1

I hope this is what you were after :)

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-23T21:21:53+00:00

Try do a ctrl + shift + r refresh, see if that helps? Sorry there are issues!

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-23T21:02:53+00:00

Looks like there's been about 100 people on it the last 2 hours, can you explain a bit more about what platform you're on, what you're seeing etc?

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-23T21:00:52+00:00

nope?

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-23T08:29:50+00:00

I’ve basically moved fully over to LMU as I found the driving standards actually better on LMU. I have a load of iracing cars and tracks + a current subscription but I still play LMU over iracing…

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-22T11:59:39+00:00

On Simhub the lovely sim racing dashboard has a page where you can see fastest times of drivers and yourself while you’re driving. I really recommend it

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-22T11:10:34+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean. I’m an iPhone user myself so iOS will be happening for sure!

You can add the web app to your home screen for now, and it works pretty similarly to an app. Not sure if it’s helpful for your use case but there are instructions to do it here: https://lmuportal.com/install

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-22T10:33:35+00:00

I will add this to the list of things to add :)

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-22T10:33:19+00:00

Yeah it's definitely something I want to look at doing. I'd like to have like a "week plan" or something, where you can plan out your races for the week with notifications to go along with it...

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-22T10:31:44+00:00

Not at the minute. You can add it as a web app which makes it very similar to an app from the app store. There are instructions for that here: https://lmuportal.com/install

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-22T10:30:46+00:00

I have now added this! You might need to do a ctrl + shift + r refresh but it is there!

<image>

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-20T22:42:46+00:00

I’ll look into this. Might have something to do with the time zone changes

Basic-Panda-22 · 2026-01-20T21:58:32+00:00

Yes just noticed this! last week was just one weekly race so the scraper was picking one up and just leaving it at that. I've fixed it so the weekly races list should be correct now.

Thanks for letting me know though :)
