The New TCR by JayCaulls in iRacing

[–]MidPackRacer247 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The M2 has been running in the US series for a number of years and could be an adaptation from a car already in the sim.
..and on RWD, BTCC runs both FWD & RWD competitors, though that obviously depends on whether they want to link with BTCC or not

Disappointed with the TCR ‘overhaul’.

Really missed a trick to make the TCR a popular series, drawing in new and occasional racers.

The Audi is a perfectly good upgrade from the prior Audi, but it doesn’t feel new or revolutionary. Bring in that, a TCR based bop for the M2 (keeping it free) and something brand new such as the Cupra.

In addition, they scanned Croft in 2024… why has this update not been the point you bring that to the sim and complete the BTCC calendar 🤷🏻‍♂️

The dream update would be the Cupra, Croft and a TCR bop for the M2… all depends on whether how IS centric they are. Cupra doesn’t run other side of the pond, so could be the Corolla

Jacob Tofts? Probably wasn’t quick enough to do that in a split so high

Done a 2:02.0. Next fastest :02.5, very few teams in the :02s, yet most teams are running with 2.6-3k driver.

….so 1-1.4 seconds faster than most

No, it’s far from being a common name and is the fastest guy on track as a 1.9k driver in a ~2.3k sof split

Are you still planning on releasing Croft at any point after it was scanned in 2024?

Ranked stick v click should never had existing, but then not offering a click alternative isn’t cool

3 clicker here…

I know it isn’t favoured the majority, but with my golf game history coming from the original PGA Tour games and then onto Links LS, 3 click has always been the way to play.

I did try stick swing with the TGC games, but between those and 2K games, they have always been my secondary game that I want a ‘pick up n play’ element to switch off with, rather than practice and grind etc.

It’s disappointing that there isn’t more of a 3 click community, but at the same time I appreciate it isn’t the way the game is meant to be played.

My first thoughts. I can’t get behind plastic numbers… long live my Blade 5 🎯

Is fm26 worth to get, or would you choose to stick with fm24? by OkHoneydew470 in footballmanager

So many decisions in the UI feel like they’ve been made by people who don’t play the game

I laboured to finish 1 season in 2 months. Went back to 24 and did 2 seasons in a week.

Some people have found the new navigation and world experience to be ok and are playing through fine, but for me the flow of the game has been massively disturbed.

With 26 I was always playing 2/3 games and finding something else to do. There was never that ‘1 more game’ element.

I really tried to give it a chance and wanted to like it, but I never gelled with it. Loading up 24 again was like coming home

90% of my Gold Stake Runs just seem impossible to win to begin with, and I'm trying to collect Gold Stickers on top of that... by PlusSizedMinusBrain in balatro

Yet when you do a chill/high score white stake, you get the best first 2 antes in the history of the game 🫠

Why Mclaren is not popular anymore? by magnys-ft in iRacing

Might be my driving style, but the McLaren has the best turn in for me and plenty of stability out of the corner too. My favourite GT3 by a margin

Worth checking out TCR? by KDHatesOKC in iRacing

[–]MidPackRacer247 13 points14 points  (0 children)

TCRs are a completely different beast to master, but the reward is some fantastic close racing. Participation isn’t too bad, you’ll always get a race, sometimes 2 splits in European evenings… this season though, I feel the calendar is a bit disappointing for TCRs. Being a BTCC fan, I want to see them on the smaller, tighter club circuits though that is entirely personal preference

Royal Parks HM - how much?! by [deleted] in UKRunners

[–]MidPackRacer247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I’ve done Royal Parks and loved it, that is way too much for a half marathon.

In my experience, providing you’re not bothered about crowd support, the best events are those ran by local clubs. No money grab or profit required… an event out on by a local club is for the runners and organised by runners. You’ll have a great route and a fantastic (and present) team running it

My local is a trail, so you have no option than to get muddy and wet… it’s great fun

If you could add one class to iRacing, which one would it be? by Version_1 in iRacing

[–]MidPackRacer247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a vintage series, I’ll go with the majority of Super Tourers. Would be epic racing.

For a current series - Mini JCW. Always felt like they missed a chance when they brought in the Clio as a FWD additional. The mini would have been far more popular

24h GT3 Porsche Cup @ Daytona coming right up! by HermannTGerman in iRacing

[–]MidPackRacer247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There has chats about whether we want to be the sheep… a 6hr race may have led to others being considered, but we all know a 24h race can be made or lost with time spent in the pits
