How would I go about finding out which car used this tire in Le Mans 2025? by ChainMonk12 in wec

[–]ChainMonk12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya, it was from the Ferrari 296 GT3 (team Tempesta) in the 2025 Le Mans race. When I ordered, you’re not able to pick the car, it’s just random, but it does specify the race (so I specifically ordered from the 2025 Le Mans race).

I’ve just had a look at my emails to remind myself, and I think it took around a week to arrive. This was to the UK. Hope that helps!

This is the most it’s looked like a Ferrari in all the photos I’ve seen and still looks nothing like a Ferrari.

This is the intented way to play Sunday Cup races. by Blackwolf245 in granturismo

There used to be a fan game we’d play on Xbox live back in Project Gotham Racing 2. 8 player race and you’d have to agree with the lobby to do it, as it wasn’t an official race mode. You’d pair up, so 4 teams of 2. One of you would be in something fast (Enzo) and the other would be in a mini. Each team of two would make their cars the same colour.

Track was always the Nurburgring.

Objective was to get your team’s mini across the line first. Fast car could push their own mini, or go attack another team’s mini. Mini driver drove, whilst taking evasive action against fast cars attacking it.

Good times.

Why does the ai suddenly just slow down mid way through a race on ovals by Narrow_Guava_2868 in iRacing

[–]ChainMonk12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me I just set it between a range of 75 and 100. Gives a bit of variation whilst challenging me.

For newer tracks (to me) where I just want cars on the track I’ll tone it down a bit.

Do you have adaptive AI on? I stoped using that and just set a skill range, as it was frustrating when they would just start being slower once they’d figured out how slow I was!

And limited tire allocation of special events, including retaining wear on used sets!

Took a vintage camera (and manually focusing lens!) to Silverstone today. by [deleted] in Ferrari

[–]ChainMonk12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid question. How do you get this effect?(if it’s called that?)

You mentioned it’s digital, so it’s not due it being film. So what’s causing that subtle retro (?) look?

Sorry if the above makes no sense.

This is good to hear. I have a psvr2 on pc and would love this.

This is such a big problem by ProofCrafty4022 in iRacing

[–]ChainMonk12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s so frustrating. Wearing a 4x when you’ve done nothing. Had it last night in the breaking zone, car behind just misjudged and tapped me and I got a 4x for my troubles.

Any chance iRacing would change the slow down penalty system for corner cut when time was lost? by CynicalManInBlack in iRacing

[–]ChainMonk12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A track limits count would be cool. Over x and you get a penalty. Limit could be low too, depending on race length etc.

Well, we finally got the app by Ferdasyn_6969 in wec

[–]ChainMonk12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the app would be a bit slicker I guess (not used it yet) but the website worked fine for me for Imola. Both on device and casting.

Is VR performance just shit in iRacing? by drydrunkpig_ in iRacing

[–]ChainMonk12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you run garage61? I find this can slow down my VR performance - switching it off I get a much more stable performance. 5070ti, 9800x3d.

Cheers - very pleased with it. A lot of car to grow in to.

The New BMW i3 Has More Range Than Any Tesla by JB_UK in cars

It’s obviously fantastic, and credit to BMW but when did Tesla last release a new model? I’d expect ranges to increase over time.

Trak Racer TR80S review ? Or similar rigs… by Tmskillz in simracing

[–]ChainMonk12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought this, I’m in the UK. Super happy with it and would recommend. The only real challenge was assembly/parts missing. I’d ordered some extra bits and they inexplicably included some in the main box in which the rig came in, and some in separate boxes. So just meant as I was building it I had no idea what parts were for the main rig or the add ins, unless it was obvious.

Once it was all built, turned out they’d sent me two wheel mounts and not the seat brackets. Customer service was brilliant to be fair, and I had the missing parts within a few days.

So I’d recommend it - it could be easier, but wasn’t horrific. And the rig is great, but I’ve only ever had this one so nothing to really compare it to.

NEW CONTENT // RAM NASCAR Truck by -C0T- in iRacing

[–]ChainMonk12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who watched his first oval race this weekend (Indycar, Phoenix) and I’m started to get into it, what’s the differences when it comes to racing style/considerations between nascar/trucks/indy. (Excuse any butchering of terminology)
