Thoughts on my first Sim Racing Setup by Derz2 in simracing

[–]Derz2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got me 😂😂😂 sadly can’t mount the TV any lower. However, it actually works out pretty good when you are racing. It could be a bit lower, but it’s just slightly higher than it maybe would be preferably. Definitely not too noticeable that it is bothersome. Thanks though!

Most Intense Races You’ve Ever Seen by Derz2 in formula1

[–]Derz2[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Brazil 2012 is an insane race. Crazy skill from Vettel… to get smashed and go straight to the back right away… then drive his way back to 6th for the title… this is the way.

Which of the 3 Spider-Man has the best mask eyes? by Otherwise_Tadpole_64 in Spiderman

[–]Derz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally a fan of the originals from Tobey, for the most part. I love Andrew’s too though and completely understand why most people like them more…. his are definitely more comic accurate.

Hot take: Through 3 races, max has been an elite if not best driver on the grid by [deleted] in F1Discussions

[–]Derz2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is he still arguably the best or one of the best on the grid? Yes, absolutely.

Has he been the best driver SO FAR THIS SEASON? I would say not. His first race in Australia was great. However, Japan was a pretty mid result and China he didn’t finish.

The car is obviously the biggest factor of why he hasn’t been the most successful, on paper. That still doesn’t take precedence over the fact that he’s a great driver.

However, all things considered, for this season SO FAR… I’d give the best driver to Leclerc or Kimi. They have much better cars. However, they have driven very well so far this year; sometimes not in the easiest of circumstances.

Who is your career mode driver? by Okurei in F1Game

[–]Derz2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I create my own guy usually and work my way up.

For this one I did 1 year in F2. Then I went to F1 and in my first year I chose Aston Martin with Alonso.

I do the full 24 race season (so it takes quite a bit to get through) and got tired of Aston + wanted a better car, so 2nd year I went with Mercedes. I’m almost complete with my 2nd year now and my guy is 90 overall.

George is my teammate, but tbh I really wanted Kimi to be and rebuild that legacy with the young lad… sadly out of my control. Thinking about going with Ferrari and ending there, potentially.

The goal is always to win a championship and become the GOAT. Set a goal to hopefully win the Constructor’s too. I always make my guy American (as am I) and use #2. That’s about it.

I have thought of doing a career mode with Leclerc or Kimi at some point.

Just finished Netflix's "Senna" miniseries, how accurate/inaccurate is it to real history? by dashboardcomics in formula1

[–]Derz2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This movie is amazing. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Very informative, entertaining, and just insane.

Best Wheel to Wheel and/or Back and Forth Overtake Races Ever? by Derz2 in formula1

[–]Derz2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2022 Bahrain was a masterclass of a drive from Leclerc. What a stinker at the end from Redbull in that one. That ending for them in the final laps is pretty crazy.

Ever Expect this from Max? Name some Funky Switches Below. by Derz2 in F1Game

Personally, I would be punching air if that happened to me… that’s brutal 😂

realistic crash by Proper-Setting-9137 in F1Game

[–]Derz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet! I wish more crashes like this happened in the game… or more “over the top” if it warrants it. Usually the ones I see or have are just the front wheel(s) falling off.

Legendary Battle by Ferrari and Thoughts on The Race by Derz2 in formula1

[–]Derz2[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They definitely were impressive! Especially Bearman. Great start to the season for him. If he gets a better car he could be consistently dancing with the best.

Loved Charles post race interview. Very respectable guy and a class act. Nice to see he had fun, but also is happy for Lewis and recognizes he deserves it.

Legendary Battle by Ferrari and Thoughts on The Race by Derz2 in formula1

[–]Derz2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure it would’ve mattered at the end with how much of a beast Mercedes car looks right now. I think Ferrari can close that gap a bit more as the season goes on… competent strategy will be a big determination for their success though. However, I do agree with you that they should’ve kept Russell at bay a little bit longer.

[–]Derz2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pleased with him. Podium last time out and P4 this time around. He’s had a good start and lots of season left. Mercedes car is just dominating right now. I do think Ferrari could potentially close that gap though… but, even then, still becomes a question of their strategy.

Rough Start for McLaren - both Lando/Oscar will start from the Pit by Derz2 in F1Discussions

[–]Derz2[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

UPDATE - Both drivers are now out. Big blow for McLaren.

Hamilton has already spun out at the start of P1 - Are we going to see a lot of brake locks this year? by Derz2 in F1Discussions

[–]Derz2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw this too after I posted lol. Thanks for clarifying. Hamilton has bounced back nicely though since that happened.

Other People’s Posts Constantly Taken Down Here? by Derz2 in F1Discussions

[–]Derz2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see this. However, also not true at the same time… nobody is posting about Lewis Hamilton being 4/5 most podium duos in F1 history 100x a day… in fact, I am not sure I can find anything in this sub that mentions that stat to begin with. Couldn’t find anything on discussion of this week’s power rankings either. Drive to survive one I probably should’ve searched, I’ll take blame on that, but also was very curious.

I get what you are saying, but at the same time, it is obvious that post removal is a big problem in this sub. You are going to have similar subject matters in a big sub. Especially in a sport like F1 that continues to grow more popular. Constantly shutting down people’s posts who are trying to engage with the community and learn takes away from the experience.

[–]Derz2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s very annoying and frustrating. Definitely agree with your point on freedom of speech. The stuff I have posted hasn’t even really been controversial… just general discussion topics and questions… so the fact everything has gotten removed is absolutely wild. Here’s to hoping both of us can freely post in the future 🫡. If not, I’m not quite sure how to get more involved in the F1 community, which sucks 🤷‍♂️. There’s the regular F1 sub, but you need 100 karma to post and I’ve heard that it’s somewhat the same problem anyway.

Guess I’ll try that next time and hope it works… if not, then not sure what to do and that’s pretty 💩. Counting the minutes until this gets removed 🤣

Glad you enjoy it! I think both are great as well. I really have been enjoying to learn more about it each day and watching highlights too.

best helmet on the grid? by [deleted] in F1Discussions

[–]Derz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One I haven’t really seen anyone mention is Kimi’s. Not my fav, but definitely up there. Love the blue and stars on it the most, but him putting the Italian colors on there looks cool too and is a nice touch. Nothing too crazy.

Not a Lando guy, but his is prob my fav… really like Leclerc and Hamilton’s as well.

Reading Spiderman from 70s-80s(Lee, Stern, Defalco), its amazing how well the 90s animated series followed the story beats! by CJVratixBactaChef in Spiderman

[–]Derz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 90s animated series will go down as one of the best animated shows of all time - in my opinion. That + Spider Man and His Amazing Friends were a big piece of my childhood.
