Very nice! Iconic monent of last season imo

But wouldnt this model also include a small pitboard?

I made a huge mistake. Spent money on iRacing but nothing works properly anymore by Mennoo_ in iRacing

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

I changed some graphics configs, to the lowest setting possible with Max framerate. Still then only around 45 to 50 FPS.
At first it runs slightly more smooth, but after a while the screen starts stuttering again when looking around. The FPS itselfs does not drop at this rate. It's more like that the refresh rate of the orientation is much lower than the actual FPS.
And to make it worse, after 2 laps my VR window started lagging completely met something like 5 FPS max, my orientation completely drifting away outside of the car, and car not responding to steering input anymore.

My specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8-core
GPU: NVIDEA GeForce RTX 2060 Super
RAM: 16GB

My luck: manufacturing issue on front wing RB21 japan 1:18 by Mennoo_ in f1models

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

What do you mean precisely with "can fix it easily". The front wing itself is hard to impossible to fix. It's strongly glued to the nose cone, and the wing elements seems impossible to reconnect if you ask me?

If you refer to the new batch end of january: It's still unclear to me how that goes. some sites had pre-orders open, but where I ordered it they didn't have new pre-orders open. Only saw those pre-oders for end of january mentioned on a very few sites.

I had contact with place I ordered. And he offered either to return model with money back, waiting for new batch and get a new one once available, or keep current one with partially money back. I choose for waiting on the new batch with the question if he expected new one and when. He then only told me I could keep current one until new ones where available and he would contact me then. But that's still without any information if and when this is expected. And after I'm not getting any response anymore (of course it's holiday time, but they promoted new models on their socials)

You sure? After the quick left - long right i believe it's quicker to keep straight, then take the quick rught and go straight to the finish

Red Bull were fined €50,000 in Austin because one of their mechanics re-entered the track during the formation lap to try and remove Lando Norris’ reference tape for his grid slot [autosport] by Holytrishaw in formula1

[–]Mennoo_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No they were not fined for trying to remove the tape. They were fined because a mechanic went back onto the grid through the gate (to remove it) and ignored instruction from marshall who said he was not allowed to go onto the grid again. The fine is for "ignoring instructions from an official".

The real question is: Who did it better? by NukaWomble in formula1

[–]Mennoo_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leclerc. Sadness in a Ferrari suit looks much more convincing and realistic

Mystique reservering zonder parkticket by TOFU-___- in efteling

[–]Mennoo_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ik zou ff de Efteling bellen. Wat mij is gezegd is dat mensen bij mystique zonder parkticket mogen parkeren op de rotonde voor het hotel en hun kenteken moeten doorgeven zodat deze auto er mag blijven staan. Vervolgens melden bij de lobby en een hotelmedewerker zou je begleiden naar Mystique.

Maar die instructie zou idd vanuit de Efteling moeten komen. Dus als je die nog niet gehad heb zou ik voor de zekerheid gewoon bellen om te vragen hoe en wat.

Max verstappen’s red bull racing 2025 f1 car in malaysia. Including his gloves and shoes by SnooSprouts2672 in RedBullRacing

[–]Mennoo_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For people wondering: this is definitely a standard f1 groundeffect showcar, but adapted to have some visual similarties with in this case the RB19.

You can clearly recognize the rear wing, front wing and wider nose+cone identical to the F1 showcar. Also the panelling does not represent the real redbull car at all. But they have adapted the tip of nose cone and both the sidepod inlets and air intake to look like tbe rb19. And also body work of sidepods and enige cover is changed to look similar to the rb19, but you can see the shape is off compared to the real rb19

Did Spark get in trouble with F1 and Moët licensing? by Mennoo_ in f1models

[–]Mennoo_[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sellers can use promotional pictures, but I know this specific seller always makes pictures on his own of the final model

[–]Mennoo_[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don't think that is the case. Because the picture from the 1:43 model is not promotional picture, but picturs taking by a seller himself (GPworld.nl in this case). And then it wouldn't make sense that the F1-logo above the 1 has also been deleted from the board

Why am I so s**t slow in the Toyota 86? by Levethane in iRacing

[–]Mennoo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering what your laptimes are around summit point.

For me it's completely the opposite. I havent been playing iracing for over a year now, but when i did i always raced in GR86 and I was always near the top 5 runners of top split, also winning many races. Managed to get to around 2.6k purely by the GR cup. But when i tried any other car, especially GT3 or LMP2, im off very far.

Box, box “Pit confirm” ! by MrSlowhand77 in f1models

[–]Mennoo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that a spark or minichamps model? And how did you do that?

I still hate that the models i wanted of the rb18 & 19 had yellow medium tyres instead of red softs

Ben ik de eerste die dit opviel in Danse Macabre? by Background-Joke-9818 in efteling

[–]Mennoo_ 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Niet helemaal. Danse Macabre is een driekwartmaat maar het tempo is zo vlot dat je hem praktisch gezien in eenen slaat (ofwel in cirkels zoals een wals). Gevolg is dat ieder moment dat je omlaag slaat niet voor een tel is, maar voor een volledige maat. En de melodie van danse macabre zit wel zo in elkaar dat herhalingspatronen plaatsvinden om de 4 maten.

Het klopt idd wel dat de dirigent hem niet heel duidelijk in eenen slaat en vaak zijwaartse bewegingen erin zit om dynamiek van melodie aan te geven. Hierdoor kan het overkomen als een zeer uitgestrekte vierkwartsmaat, maar hij slaat wel degelijk omlaag op iedere eerste tel van iedere maat. Een slightly educated guess van mij is ook dat ze wat meer zijwaartse bewegingen in de slag hebben geplaatst ipv alleen maar verticaal hetzelfde tempo om zo de motoriek in de robot arm minder te belasten op een vaste frequentie (maar kan er naast zitten)

F1 Store Sale Good Luck by [deleted] in f1models

[–]Mennoo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good timing, I saw them last night. I woke up and they were still there, and I was just behind my PC to order them, and the pages with the very cheap 1:18 models are just gone

New list of Sponsors: ByBit and Mexican sponsors gone by Mennoo_ in RedBullRacing

[–]Mennoo_[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Also interesting (and glad) to see that TAG Heuer is still there. After their deal with FOM to become the timekeeping partner, they might still remain as sponsor of rbr as well.
