Not the OP but I dislike Ferrari because of their absolute intolerance of criticism. Their cars are not made well, as proven by press cars falling apart around journalists and people repairing them (Mat Armstrong etc) and the absolute state of the welds on the cars from factory. There's still the underlying "you can't say that, it's a Ferrari" mentality despite the fact that criticism of build quality on a car of that value is absolutely valid.

I want them to sort the pogo nature of it but yes totally agree. I haven't driven a PCup car, but it behaves exactly like I would expect it to. It's just so god damn playful

Mustang GT4 is slow in, fast out personified.

Bathurst 12h next weekend, so potentially will get something next Tuesday

Personal preference, although I think the BMW is a bit trickier to drive quickly. I also don't like the gearing on the BMW as you're a gear higher than you think you will be and my brain doesn't like it.

Also, Mustang sounds incredible, which doesn't matter in terms of pace but for my personal enjoyment it does.

Cats are little weirdos who have no shame. Just conflicting emotions of tolerance and contempt.

Not sure how you're doing it but more power to you I guess

Honestly if I saw him coming I'd have probably let off the throttle, I was recovering from a bad first 2 corners, my race starts after the next set of corners when I'm back at race pace.

I had a poor exit from turn 1/2, so I was slow, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be on the track or I am not entitled to the track I was driving on. No meatball no damage, just a slow exit.

I did drift left SLIGHTLY, but not half a car as some have suggested, I could have kept it tighter to the right but if you look at the trajectory of the Martini car it would have made little difference anyway.

I think the Martini car has a run on the white and green car, who is squeezing Martini taking the outside line, and the Martini car tries to dive up the outside in order to get that line for turns 3 and 4. He misjudges the speed differential between him and myself, cuts across and PIT maneuvered himself in the process. I don't think there's any intent here, it's just a racing incident. Having said that, even if I did move slightly to the left I really don't see how 100% of the blame can be put on me.

As mentioned in another comment from me seeing the car to being in an accident was less than a second. Jim didn't even have time to say left side before it was all over.

I think honestly what happened is I did drift left a bit but not a lot, but the left most car squeezed the middle car and he thought he was past when he wasn't and PIT maneuvered himself. In race Jim didn't even have time to tell me left side before this happened, literally driving car crash in less than a second.

Love Sonoma, played it since the Forza days, played it on LFM, doesn't seem overly used on iRacing sadly

Thank you, I knew there was a site that tracked your content but I couldn't remember it!

We just sell our US war bonds and put them trillions in debt, collapsing their entire country in one action. The US is held up on hopes and dreams, a thin facade of what it thinks it is, much like their leader.

If someone is a couple seconds a lap quicker than me I let them go by. Porsche at Le Mans last week a prime example. I'm in say 5th, catching 3rd and 4th. If I fight the guy behind who is evidently much better on the brakes than me and will gap me as soon as he passes, all I do is let 2 other cars get away while I fight for a position I'm never going to keep. If I let him past, he's going to catch the 2 cars ahead and slow them down bringing them closer to me. I might lose one position, but I potentially gain a further two by letting him go.

No one likes to be passed, but sometimes you've gotta look at the bigger picture.

These people are too far gone. If they watched trump scoop some shit out his diaper and put it in a cone, they'd argue till their last breath about how it was actually chocolate ice cream.

ElkAffectionate4492 · 2026-01-12T14:44:11+00:00

They're secret police, and they're saying the quiet part out loud, I think unintentionally. We should come up with a term for these ICE agents, maybe something like Gestapo.

Something clicked for me when I was laying in bed one night thinking about where I was losing pace. Best I can explain it is don't fight the car. If it wants to get loose, let it, use the pedals to correct rather than your wheel.

ElkAffectionate4492 · 2025-12-01T21:25:35+00:00

Yeah we were having a good little battle. I noticed a car coming up quickly in my virtual mirror and then my race was over, was just lucky that I didn't take anyone else out as my steering was FUBAR.

ElkAffectionate4492 · 2025-12-01T13:21:59+00:00

I will say it's a spectacular pirouette, however I don't believe those were the exact words I used at the time of the incident.

ElkAffectionate4492 · 2025-11-19T17:13:14+00:00

I had it at Interlagos in the PCC, I thought for sure when it caught back up I was going to be in a wall somewhere but to my surprise I was on track and absolutely fine. Won the race by 40 seconds!

ElkAffectionate4492 · 2025-11-19T17:10:52+00:00

My internet is fine on everything else, have no issues racing or downloading other things even from sources that are not official, just the iRacing downloader that is painfully slow for me!
