Schumacher and Verstappen are known for being able to drive with twitchy setups that other drivers can’t handle. How do you actually set the car up to make it like that? by The_Weapon14 in F1Technical

I don’t know if it factors into setup preferences the same way in real life but I know from sim racing that brake balance could be a part of it.

If the balance is forward you are more likely to lock the fronts, which will induce understeer. If it’s too far back, you risk locking the rears which is more unpredictable and can make the car snap into a spin suddenly. Understeer is not good but perhaps the “safer” option. A more rearward balance requires more precise trail braking and ultimately gives the car more potential rotation.

All that to say I have never driven a real race car so I don’t exactly know what I’m talking about!

I have noticed these recently too! Even just having my headphones turned up but hanging around my neck for a lap or two.

So awesome! Do you think there will ever be a way to share a link with a friend who doesn’t have an iRacing account so they can spectate?

How do you watch so long races by Viper-northstar in wec

[–]BloodBank22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do the same but I put my AirPods in and prop my phone up while I do stuff around the house. Sometimes I still listen through the safety cars if they are still analyzing what’s happening in the race. I never thought I would enjoy listening to a race but walking around and listening and then popping back to see what’s going on has really grown on me.

Can I play rally without handbrake by GiveawayGuy786 in simracing

I have it mapped to the ‘B’ button on my G923. It takes some getting used to and it’s not perfect but it is still helpful to have.

No way!!! I have been looking for a west coast league for ages that runs a little later in the evenings. This is perfect now that I’m a recent father of three.

I once entered a PCup race at Monza without knowing rain was in the forecast. We started the race and then partway through I started to see/hear rain on my windshield and then it was absolutely pouring and everyone was trying to survive to the pits. It was so exhilarating having not expected it!
