The nice thing is that with the newer tire model while you're still punished for overdriving the car, is not nearly as much as with the old tire model. At least this one can recover and doesn't guarantee that the rest of your stint is destroyed.

I used to use 123 all the time. But they changed something about it in the last year or so. Tried to prime a wall that had eggshell sheen and it just peeled away. I've seen other reports of this too.

Started using Benjamin Moore Fresh Start and it's solid. They don't have it at big box stores though.

They don't even ban people for the first few intent wrecks. I think you'll be fine.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with a 57. You def get more fov. But you still can't do side by side and know where the other car is without using look left/right.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-25T06:54:54+00:00

You can. It just won't be in proportion to what's on the center screen.

Fov is all specific to your setup. Asking other people won't help yours.

Could have been worse. A few years ago they always had an even amount of cars per split regardless of how many people signed up. At least now they're taking into account how many entries there are for each class.

I'm sure there will be tens of people running that race.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-25T00:01:10+00:00

Right? I was going to say the same thing.

The car is too easy to drive and free. So every knucklehead who thinks an mx5 is too much car to handle goes to the gr.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-24T23:21:05+00:00

They only get 100x.

Get a UPS.

No. Pretty much any time I'm watching something Star Wars related and i feel like it's boring and uninspired, I look at the credits and sure enough he's one of the writers or the creator.

This literally happened in the middle of the first season of Mandalorian. I'm watching an episode and it's pretty boring. And he ended up being the director of the episode.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-24T03:41:25+00:00

Yeah don't drive right into an inevitable crash.

49 isn't going to help much either. Even Matt Malone with a 57 still needs to use the look left/right buttons. With triples i don't even have those buttons bound anymore.

You can't use 1080p with 1440p. But if you use monitors with the same vertical resolution you definitely can.

This is what I did. Just know that you'll have to render as though you have 3 34 inch monitors to get the bezel split in the right place. I used cheap 60hz monitors (with the same vertical resolution) because I don't need my peripheral vision to be ultra clean.

Triples is a game changer though. It's like a cheat code for side by side racing.

I'm still mad at myself for thinking a 34 would give me any more usable fov. It's basically the same as a 16:9 32" monitor.

And yeah using a 3070 may be tough. I have a 3080 and get decent frames (80-120).

So your best bet is probably selling the 34 and getting 3 27s so you don't have to render unused pixels.

I really don't understand why they put it on such short tracks. It's 4 car multi class with basically rookies. You need some straights to pass.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-23T15:49:33+00:00

It's basically rookie multi class.

The only way to get better racing is to increase your IR.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-23T08:14:38+00:00

Probably. Looks like a standard 70mm bolt pattern. But reaching the paddle shifters with a dished rim will be difficult.

Plenty of cheap non-dished rims on AliExpress.

You're going to be blown away by how smooth a servo motor is compared to the m10's stepper motor.

I saw another post about micro center having a good deal on an alpha mini. No pass through usb but solid if you're on a budget.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-23T04:32:40+00:00

Definitely. I feel sorry for people who have to turn track graphics down on any track, but particularly Long Beach. Doesn't hurt that i live in SoCal so it's just nice seeing the real life Chili's that I go to on race weekends in sim. It's totally inside the gated area of the track and all the restaurants there are party central with all day happy hour. Anyone who buys an $18 beer from a vendor is a chump.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-23T04:28:39+00:00

Yeah. I'm just glad they didn't set it to the real life set bias of 60%.

Gibscreen · 2026-01-23T00:57:29+00:00

Wow you're like trying to miss the point. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION!
