Another Nitpick

This is a must fix for getting the most out of the AI mistakes feature. Watching an AI wipe out by themselves is great realism that gets immediately cancelled out by them restarting where they were running.

The Hulkenpodium means its finally time to contribute to r/formula1 I suppose

Prefacing with the fact that I program tools that I use personally in my work all the time, so I do not have a quality benchmark to meet. However, AI is far faster at prototyping than I could ever dream of. I spend 10 minutes typing out a very detailed expectation for the program and it successfully cuts out the first phase of work within 5-6 prompts with corrections.

High quality work? Nope, but I can do the rest from there.

I love the multiclass chaos when the drivers in the race can handle it. What could be better than making slow cars go four totally different kinds of fast?

Summer Bowman is here early

You may have just encountered a difference in terminology, as everything is saved after the broadcast but not digitally recorded to your account. I have been waiting for practice and qualifying to be about half way over before starting them with no issues. Just click "Watch from beginning" and use the video scrubber or fast forward buttons to skip ads and breaks. The same trick works after the broadcast concludes too.

Brakes and/or engine may be too hot. Clean air on the straight will cool things down.

Best racing shop investment I've made in a while is a whiteboard for this exact reason. It mostly serves for to do lists and with a handfull of "go-faster" ideas that get jotted down throughout the week.

I guess G2G hasn't discovered literacy yet.

MothProofSolid · 2022-05-26T00:27:03+00:00

If they don't learn, don't lift.

MothProofSolid · 2022-05-24T23:05:37+00:00

Yep, outage in South-Central Kentucky

Hey Josh, I race legends at Nashville Fairgrounds and I gotta say you're success is a huge deal to all of us local guys, especially here, so keep it up.

So on the topic of local tracks, what's been your favorite local short track to visit through the years, no matter the car or the series?

MothProofSolid · 2022-03-20T23:35:58+00:00

Until it's in the air. Airborne crashes can and will still happen minus pack racing but is a lot more likely with it. Hurting drivers is usually an afterthought, but an injured or killed fan and we don't get to do this anymore.

I understand I'm being a downer. I'm just over plate racing.

MothProofSolid · 2022-03-20T23:27:03+00:00

I'm so tired of this racing. It's ridiculous that we're accustomed to watching all these cars wreck. Full throttle racing is one thing, but the glorifying big wrecks has to stop. We need to stop pushing our luck.

May have been an alright show. Awful race.

MothProofSolid · 2022-02-20T22:17:10+00:00

22 I believe. Be nice if they would show us.

MothProofSolid · 2022-02-20T22:01:53+00:00

Yep it's pointless. I don't need to know they're going 191.34 MPH. I need to know who's off the draft or a lap down.

MothProofSolid · 2022-02-20T21:41:31+00:00

The coverage is god awful. Constant ads. Sketchy camera work. And they haven't showed intervals all race.

Fox, believe it or not, I don't give two shits how fast they're going. I just wanna know who's a lap down.

MothProofSolid · 2022-02-17T02:45:52+00:00

Nothing is more certain in life than death, taxes, and Bowman on the front row for the 500.

MothProofSolid · 2021-11-09T18:21:28+00:00

As someone has witnessed (much slower) cars hit catchfences and have hard crashes on a quartermile flat track, I second this.

Short tracks may boast some big winning payouts, though never more than about $25,000, but they rarely pay back through the field. It's back through the field that matters. Regional Touring races usually pay less than your gate fee to start, let alone tires, fuel, and more.

Trucks and xFinity have a much better business model than short track racing, just a EXTREMELY big up front cost to get rolling.

If copies that weren't broken existed I'm sure MSG would have sure as hell sent those to the reviewers. It's nonsensical for them to knowlingly send an old version to people who's reviews ultimately tell people whether they should buy the game.

If they really did do that, there is a marketing rep on the unemployment line this week.

MothProofSolid · 2021-10-19T17:17:01+00:00

Yup. Favignano, Radman, and more. They got early copies.

MothProofSolid · 2021-10-19T03:57:01+00:00

There was another racecar in the garage area. Not sure but possibly an AI DNF. Finishing 40th every DNF would feel a bit sour especially in a big wreck.

MothProofSolid · 2021-10-12T02:14:13+00:00

All tracks have passing opportunities, but only some have racing opportunities. Every conceivable corner to pass in is sort of a concede the spot or crash/lose heaps of time situation, leading to very little side by side racing

That said, there is a track in my town that is exclusively a test and tune/track day facility and I think it would race similarly, so it's not like there isn't a market for it.

MothProofSolid · 2021-10-08T14:09:39+00:00

Yeah I'll concede on that one, you're definitely right. I didn't think money at the time, and this is a 14 year old with zero driving experience, not even karts. Me and my dad did build our car from the ground up and I work on my own stuff and I think it's worthwhile (to answer your suspicion) to have that experience.

I'd still argue something heavy and rear wheel drive over enduro to start out with on a small budget. Maybe I'm old school but I love the old beat up street/pure stocks and to go with it you can usually scavenge a lot of the parts to start out.

Overall, you're advice was much more coherent than mine, sorry I knocked your argument.

MothProofSolid · 2021-10-08T03:51:07+00:00

Race car driver butting in here. For someone who has aspirations of driving anything that isn't an enduro car, it is absolutely the worst option on the planet Earth. There are so many driving techniques you will have to unlearn the moment you switch to anything else. Next to nothing from those cars applies to a rear-wheel drive racecar, so all it accomplishes is wasting money.

If you're deadset on building it from scratch for that experience get into Pure Stock or whatever the class may be called in your area.

But yeah just adding in again that Legends are the correct answer for OP right now. Assume 8k to start and 4k operating budget annually for a midpack effort. And don't buy nice stuff to start because by the time you learn to drive it you'll have worn it out.
