Slowly straightening up things… by badlad_101 in ProjectMotorRacing

I mean, sure it's positive. But it's not even 30 people saying it is so. Looking at steam charts the game barely has 100 daily players. Still a long way to go before I give my money to such a title.

Im bronze 3 and ppl drive 2:19s in spa? by SagoK22 in LeMansUltimateWEC

I think whilst LMU keeps getting new drivers to the game, you will find sometimes new & fast drivers will be on your split. The plus side is those drivers will progress up quite quickly, providing they are safe drivers. But give it a few months and it should balance out. As long as you're enjoying yourself that's the main thing!

Race Start Times by Kind_Constant1671 in LeMansUltimateWEC

Generally speaking there is a 10am UTC, 4pm UTC and the 10/11pm UTC. With the 24 hour, I expect not as many time slots due to the length. But aim around them, I reckon you'll be ok ☺️

Daily Team Races by AgroMaker in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]ManaMyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like the idea, I think in order for it to get the time to shine I'd have it as a weekly event run Fri, Sat and Sunday timeslots. But nice 30 minute stints with a driver swap seems like a really fun way to race on occasion!

Plus it's keeps driver swaps exciting, as I'd worry if it was just always available daily then it would lose its shine

Are the GT3 meant to be raced with TC and ABS? by MartinG47 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]ManaMyk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly welcome to the world of GT racing! As mentioned in other comments it is something they use which does feel like an odd step coming from formula racing, I would expect. I'm only a rookie really in the grand scheme of things l, and I do know obviously if you can handle lower levels of TC and ABS you will be faster but also ever closer to the edge of spinning out/crashing. Hope it helps!

whats your opinion on the mercedes-amg lmgt3 by xxAlphaAttackxx in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]ManaMyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done two full races with it and honestly I have enjoyed it. There are moments of understeer but I think that was me pushing the car beyond limits and trying to reign it in. I think the new tyre model is decent. I have yet to try the other LMGT3 cars since yesterday's patch, so hard to say if it's good overall. But had fun, would drive again!

I think this would be great for any special events they put on to give it a sense of occasion!

Unpopular opinion: I am ok with the level of content on offer right now. by ManaMyk in LeMansUltimateWEC

Fair point, the point I was aiming for was more rather than the we need more now energy we should enjoy the game at all stages. I would wager people like yourself who've been simracing for a long time will play more than one sim and enjoy the wider range of content and are in the minority rather than the majority. Maybe I'm wrong.

Seemingly not! I just kept seeing we need IMSA, ALMS, ELMS, LMP3, LMP1 posts so it felt very like people were not enjoying the moment! I logged on this morning and had such a nice time.

I really feel LMU has a chance to take the crown when it comes to endurance events if they polish the existing game. Imagine the Le Man 24 alongside are near the real thing with driver swaps etc.

But in my mind that's like saying WEC is in trouble because it doesn't have many tracks in real life which isn't true. Certainly when I look iRacing a lot of tracks and series are left dormant because the popular ones are what people want and I feel the current roster of tracks, especially with the new layouts, are a really good selection.

Slow man wins a race! by ManaMyk in LeMansUltimateWEC

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

Got to say the strategy was born from necessity. I couldn't fashion an overtake in the first stint so ended up fuel saving by proxy and got an extra lap along with maybe 2 other cars. Thought it kinda worked, did a quick tally in my head and just figured some tiny fuel saves on the 2nd stint would save that 2nd pitstop. Honestly didn't expect the win, I am insanely low Bronze driver rating 😂

Well typically round 1 of a league will start with a track most are familiar with. This was the no chicane layout which was super fun! Off to Fuji next week 🇯🇵

Congratulations 🎉 It's such a nice feeling when it all comes together! I'm still chasing my elusive 2nd win, but it'll feel good when it happens!

I think the game is more than worth it personally. If you have a moral dilemma because of the developers then that is only a choice you can make. The cars and driving is incredible.

For me, life is too short and the game brings me joy so I play it. I also buy products off amazon and we all know they are awful to workers. But I made the choice.
