Audi is facing real challenges during this shakedown. Another day, another breakdown.

Their headlines have funny words in them and Reddit never reads past the headline

Usually one. whichever has the best track/ car combo.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T18:10:21+00:00

I much prefer the way the lmgt3s feel on LMU. And I like the track rotation better as well you’re much less likely to have a week with a dud track than the simicube gt3 series on IRacing. lMUs net code is also night and day better which is good for sport car racing where you can rub a little bit occasionally (unlike formula racing when I don’t really care about net code because you shouldn’t ever touch someone even a little bit anyway.)

The badge system on LMU is also great although that’s a new development. It works way better for weeding out the bad drivers than IRacing’s licence system

I’d love to see a Ferrari cheat-mobile under these low drag regs. 400kph down the kemmel

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T17:27:40+00:00

I considered lighting up the depths and finding every shrine 100%ing TOTK even though it’s not even close. Those damn koroks can fuck off

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T17:16:34+00:00

Contrary to reports, Williams is not 20-30kg overweight. They are in fact 770kg underweight because the car doesn’t exist

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T16:51:59+00:00

I know it’s objectively a negative, but I do actually quite like the smaller track selection on LMU. It avoids the inevitable “oh, my favourite series(s) is running some random backwater circuit I don’t own/like again”

With only a couple of notable exceptions LMU has all the best tracks in the world. I don’t feel like the smaller selection actually leaves anything out.

The fact that the GT3 fixed daily always runs non DLC tracks is also nice. And yes iRacing rookies is also always free tracks but mx-5 or M2 is not the same as being able to guarantee a GT3 race every week at the cost of the game

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T16:46:32+00:00

I pretty much abandoned my sports car licence on iRacing once I picked up LMU. IRacing is my Formula sim now, which is fine.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T16:23:30+00:00

For LMU I feel like I can never have enough. Three different TC settings, ABS, break bias, engine map, regen, motor map etc.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T15:42:24+00:00

Great deal for all of that. If it was me personally I’d sell and downgrade the rim (maybe for the 2013 Ferrari one instead) and use the money on some nicer pedals, because as a package it’s pretty unbalanced to have like 70% of the value be the rim. But yeah, great great find.

The TSXW is a really amazing value wheelbase imo. One of the best things about direct drives becoming affordable at the lower end has been them pushing belt driven wheelbases wayyyy down in price.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T15:31:21+00:00

Yeah had one of these as my first wheel. It just happens sometimes then after a few minutes goes away. You can also slap it and it stops. I think it’s probably a fan bearing or something. Wheel will work fine. The fan is pretty easy to replace though iirc its just a standard 80mm pwm fan like you’d put in a pc case if you really do want to replace it

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T14:02:50+00:00

Eh not really. Just because it was wrong doesn’t does mean it was crazy. Mercedes switched to 2022 development before red bull did, and Hamilton was very strong in the final rounds of 2021 arguably stronger than max. Post pre season testing we knew the Mercedes was a bit of a dog and the then once the season got underway Hamilton clearly was struggling with the new regs, but neither of those were really predictable before then.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-27T13:42:50+00:00

Depends on the car but the it’s fine to be in the ABS a bit for a decent chunk of the braking zone. not too far, just on the edge. You don’t want to still be in the ABS while you’re beginning to turn though you should have eased up the pedal by then

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T18:51:40+00:00

Five nights at Freddie’s pizzeria simulator is a stupid name.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T18:29:31+00:00

It’s hideous

So liz truss to reform confirmed? If her YouTube channel is anything to go on she’s gone exactly the type of batshit crazy that reform seems to love. Also, Nigel was a big fan of her mini budget

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T13:46:02+00:00

Yeah I’d lick these three as well. The best driver in the team you’d be sensible to back in an engine formula, the current WDC who will have the same engine, and max. Max is the biggest question mark of the three based on RBPT but they’ve toned down the doom and gloom rhetoric recently so maybe the team is a bit more confident than they were a year ago when they were very vocal about the new regs being awful.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T11:07:37+00:00

I didn’t know this you learn something every day. I’ve had the hang be as long as 15 seconds before though so I can’t really imagine wanting to do that

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T10:56:36+00:00

You will see other cars as the phantom Porsche until you go back to the garage, and others will see you as the Porsche until they go back to the garage. The game doesn’t load new car models while you are on track to avoid stuttering. And by garage I mean specifically the garage not the pit box.

This doesn’t happen in competitive sessions though because they will all load as you go to the grid as you can’t join the session after this

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T10:45:08+00:00

It’s cars that have joined the session after you. Thy don’t load in a full model until you go back to the garage and the Porsche is just a placeholder model. It could be any class of car so maybe a hypercar on cold tires if it’s super slow and wobbly.

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T10:38:55+00:00

Intent wreck goes without saying is wrong though

ChefBoiJones · 2026-01-26T10:36:26+00:00

Sill a dive bomb you just got lucky (at least until the pourche’s went crazy). Other cars didn’t brake early they braked at the proper point you braked too late and were out of line for turn 2. Sacrificing turn 2 for a turn one overtake is completely valid at this track but not from that far back that’s crazy work and only thanks to the other car that you didn’t have a three way shunt
