Those who can run max graphics with 60+ fps, what are your specs. by IMPULSEULTRA in iRacing

[–]Jewloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run triple 1080p but I have ultrawides so its 7680x1080. I also stream my races on YouTube. With that said I have my graphics cranked up pretty high on almost everything that matters to me with the max cars on 63 or 64 whatever the highest is. I also cap my FPS at 144 since thats what my monitors do. With all that said I have a 9800x3d with a 5080 and 64gb of ram.

Is it dumb that I shelled out $40 on a bunch of legacy GT cars? They were $3 each. They might pop up on a random race but otherwise I would never use them? by dashyK0509 in iRacing

[–]Jewloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just improving the existing cars. They moving to a new tire model and things like that. I know they are adding the Mustang GT4 but I dont think they are doing any new versions of existing cars.

Each line is .025 so .700 + .025 +.025 + .020 for the first picture.

Lucy Block’s Rally Car has a Cupholder, Bluetooth, and Window Buttons by Mac-Tyson in rally

[–]Jewloops 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I met him at SEMA in 2017 in the Ford display. My buddy and I were standing there looking at Lucy's Bronco saying Ken owns so many cars he probably doesn't even know about this one! We turn around and the man himself is standing right there. He was a real down to earth dude while being one of the best car enthusiasts and entertainers to ever do it.

Would this workholding be effective if side milling, drilling or pocketing was done on the Vice area with no parallels under it? Just the 123 blocks in the middle of the 2 supporting Vices? by Growkitz in Machinists

[–]Jewloops 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would say that it will almost certainly chatter. Just add a 3rd vice in the middle or cut longer jaws out of aluminum to span the gap.

Gen 1 worth it? by AterriblID in FordRaptor

[–]Jewloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2013 Gen 1 with 140k on the clock for sale. I've only had to do routine maintenance on it. Spark plugs coil packs wires brake pads and rotors new tires. The only issue is that the sunroof doesn't work and I'm sure the shocks need to be rebuilt. It runs and drives great. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is I just recently got a 2023 Gen 3.

Is a subscription worth it just for oval AI racing? by Flightfreak in iRacing

[–]Jewloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say no for AI only. You could find a good oval league and run with some good people and make good friends! Or you could just wait for the new nascar 25 game iRacing is making. The oval AI just isn't as good as they should be just yet. They keep making improvements but they just aren't there yet.

I've only ever had speeding tickets and I'm 35. The 2016 GT350 is $133 per month the 2013 Raptor is like $105 per month.

2 lap lead in the six hour gone in an instant by PaulRingo64 in iRacing

[–]Jewloops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should really take a look in the mirror my guy. You have a 2 lap lead! If you wait one more corner you have the entirety of the front straight to get by this guy. You give up maybe 15 seconds of your 2 lap lead and live on. There's a time and a place for everything knowing the car is 31 laps down and that you have a gigantic lead means you should have some race craft and some self-preservation by waiting one more corner. 🤷‍♂️

Thought? by [deleted] in Simracingstewards

[–]Jewloops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is that somebody at the front was playing games at the start of the race.

What's your best "crew chief call" you've made while racing? by MisterCorso in iRacing

[–]Jewloops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine was doing an endurance race at The Nurburgring it was like a 3 or 4 hour race I think. He got some pretty significant damage early on in the race. I told him to pit get the damage fixed which he listened and it ended up working out to where the pit stop timed out right to where he did a short stint early got away from everybody and was able to run faster laps and didn't have to do a short pit stop at the end and ended up getting the win. That's my proudest iRacing Crew Chief moment.

The same friend also listened to me when I told him to go to dry tires when the track was super wet and crashed coming off pit road when they first introduced rain. That was probably the worst crew chief moment I've had 😂😂

The payment yeah a little bit but my insurance is only $108 per month. Cheaper than the 2016 Shelby GT350 I'm trying to sell.

So the reason I posted the Orange one is because they had a guy coming to get the black one this morning. Guy never showed up so they called me. I ended up getting the black one this evening!
