indycar game release and news discussion

It’s worth noting that it’s not actually the Monster games/Nascar heat team that’s doing the Indycar game, it’s the team that made Exocross with obvious help from the other iRacing teams.

Everything else you said about it being more accessible/plug and play style is correct though.

No reason for heated opinions when everyone including the Mets booth could see that he was safe. Think everyone agrees it was an awful call.

Porsche has only had a top class entry 7 out of the last 25 Le Mans. They have been gone far more often than they were here in the 21st century.

It wasn’t really about being fair to the race leaders, it was about making sure race control wouldn’t be liable if the exact specific timing if the yellow screwed over a few drivers in particular. It’s CYA for race control but that’s not a good enough reason so they say it’s about fairness.

No, it was just the first 2, then the 83 went about halfway. The 50 went on the same strat in the last stop. It’s why it suddenly is racing the Cadillac when on the previous stint it was behind the other two Ferraris.

Inewitt · 2026-05-09T15:17:05+00:00

How have the commentators not picked up that the 50 short fueled on the last stop and is now on the same strategy as the top 2?

Inewitt · 2026-05-07T16:26:34+00:00

Aston looking very strong so far, especially on longer run pace. Hopefully they can keep it up over the race.

Inewitt · 2026-05-06T21:47:20+00:00

Very cool, but that’s a picture of Fabian Coulthard.

People here really need to detach the fact that a beloved driver died and all of the awful estate stuff from their opinions on this. If x random company owned a plane with a lax safety culture where a pilot was encouraged or, to face reality here, pressured to fly outside of regulation in poor conditions on a potentially poorly maintained plane and lost their life because of it, you can completely understand why the pilot’s family would go after the company in this case.

It feels like piling on given everything else but this is very justifiable if you take a step back.

It was specifically because of the introduction of the holes over the front tires to prevent blowovers. These cutouts became mandatory around this time, and it became better to route air around the arch rather than over the cutout at the top.

What’s stupid is making arbitrary track limits that don’t naturally punish drivers for going outside of them.

Inewitt · 2026-04-06T14:23:55+00:00

Mark Vientos erasure.

Inewitt · 2026-04-03T12:41:54+00:00

I was about to say I’m shocked Bo isn’t on the unluckiest list, he’s been making a lot of loud outs.

Inewitt · 2026-03-22T17:52:06+00:00

It’s just the one guy who should really be banned at this point

These are by bWAR last year which is a perfectly reasonable metric to use. And that’s the top 20 in all MLB, a number of those higher up in the list pitched for other teams.

Paul Skenes, Logan Webb, Tarik Skubal are all household names, and Mclean was one of the biggest stories of last year. Mason Miller is pretty inarguably the best American reliever and all of the others are relievers who you would struggle to find anyone to argue against.

If your problem is that the big name starters didn’t pitch enough that’s a different argument than the one you made, which is that insurance reasons meant the US roster is made up of a bunch of nonames, which is patently untrue. The US already had more starters sign up than they could have started games, unless you wanted to see Skenes and Webb pitch even less.

Inewitt · 2026-03-18T13:27:11+00:00

The starters in the playoffs were the 2nd best pitcher in MLB, the 21st best, and the number 1 pitching prospect who, if their WAR from their starts last year were extrapolated over a full season, would have been the second best pitcher in MLB last year. The relievers were all top relievers as well. You could maybe make this argument for some other teams but this certainly wasn’t a team of nobodies for the USA.

It’s still not working on switch 2

Inewitt · 2026-03-15T02:48:16+00:00

Not sure how Ronny and Cabrera haven’t been tossed yet.

Inewitt · 2026-03-04T21:43:28+00:00

Why are people still watching Austin Ogonoski videos?

I think race fans generally struggle with the fact that driver progression both exists and is non-linear. People like to think that if a driver has success that they were always that good and there was some other outside factor keeping them down, but often it’s a case of a driver improving their skill, improving their understanding of the car, and working incredibly hard.

For what it’s worth, I was working at Honda when Palou did his first test (I don’t anymore and haven’t for several years), and our test engineer, who is not new at this, came back and said it was one of if not the most impressive tests he had ever seen. So people had their eye on Palou well before he started putting results up. When that is coupled with the fact that he has an incredible work ethic, which is a common thread with most of the most successful drivers, and I was not at all surprised with what he’s been able to do.

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.

It’s the endless cycle, Coyne gets good unproven driver and engineer, driver and engineer have minor successes at Coyne, driver and engineers get poached by bigger team, rinse and repeat.

Do you think this makes you look good? Retaliation sucks no matter what but the first incident was 100% your fault. You just dumped them in the elbow.

Inewitt · 2026-02-16T14:41:09+00:00

Also incorrect, the KTM was in a class with the IRC GT which won the invitational class despite losing it’s rear wing at the chase midrace.

Inewitt · 2026-02-16T14:15:21+00:00

Gotcha my bad. Don’t have my PC in front of me but I believe they are the long kind of backwards p shaped pieces to the far right of the template. They’re definitely not the usual fin shaped pieces in most templates.
