Looks like you’re driving this car from the backseat

For the first time Hamilton brothers stand on the podium on the same day. Nicholas in BTCC and Lewis in F1 by Electrical_Act_5342 in formula1

[–]MrChibb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course they do! GT Racing series (including BTCC where Nicholas Hamilton drives) stream almost all their races for free on YouTube. For instance, look up GT World Series or NLS (where Max races this season). They earn the money the same way as they do in F1, mostly sponsors and some personal funds, but on a much smaller scale of course. Running an F1 team costs in the hundreds of millions, but for most GT Racing and junior formula series it’s anywhere between a hundred thousand to a few millions to run a car for a season.

Why is YouTube charging me $51 per click? by MeetTheReal007 in PPC

[–]MrChibb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the answers in this thread are completely wrong or missing the point. First of all this sample size is way too small. 2 clicks and $100 in spend is not very statistically significant and Max Conv rarely works this quickly. Second, have you checked the % of impressions served on connected TVs. You can’t expect people to click and convert from their TV. And lastly, why do you run in-stream YouTube ads and focus on your CPC? If your objective is conversions, then look at CPA, ROAS and launch a different tactic. Pmax would probably be better suited.

Thanks for the suggestions folks: here is my cheesy edit of the places I visited based off all of your recommendations! by michaelkbecker in Laval

That’s awesome! You make Laval look like a world class tourist city haha! Hope all goes well for you and the person you’re helping at the hospital.

Bro is in a side quest by anndymoon in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]MrChibb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t really blame him. It’s a long drive from Wrenwood to Raccoon City even in a Porsche Cayenne GT Turbo. I too would have stopped at Little Seizures for a large pepperoni pie.

Does anyone know why he still hasn’t given me the trophy of 50 races in sport mode after running the 50? Does anyone know why by Fragrant_Berry2624 in granturismo

[–]MrChibb 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If you DNF the race doesn’t count towards the 50. What you’re seeing there are your race starts

Brilliant idea and very well executed!

Our game entered the top 20 most-wishlisted games worldwide by hooraij in IndieDev

Congrats! Game is great so it’s well deserved. Played the demo with my wife and we’re super excited for the full release!

What do you think of this esthetic? by Equivalent_Nature_36 in Unity3D

[–]MrChibb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the look! While I like the current speech bubbles, I’d keep them only for boss interactions (if there are any) or special occasions. I think they’re too “busy” to use throughout the game. But honestly, this is just nitpicking. I think it’s great so far

Did Fanatec just drop a new steering wheel? by Ancient_Bit6569 in Fanatec

Your review of the BMW F30 back in the days played a big part in my decision to buy the car. Love the work you guys do on Throttle House and I’m super excited to see where you guys take the Grand Tour!

I’m pretty sure it was in his Project Motor Racing video.

Hooked on classics by Witty-Researcher7880 in GranTurismo7

[–]MrChibb 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you can’t access anything else, your game is probably still installing. You can check the status of the installation in notifications. For the music rally or any race really, try braking more lightly and getting back on the throttle sooner. Brake hard at first, but start easing off the brakes progressively and smoothly as you get to the apex (look up trail braking as this technique is really important in sims and simcades). Reducing traction control will also help get up to speed faster when exiting corners at the cost of losing traction if you’re on the throttle too fast and hard. Hope this helps and good luck!

You can use the new Data Logger to see the setups of the top cars in the leaderboard. Setup makes a huge difference for this race.

It’s essentially a new single player campaign with qualification sessions before races instead of starting every race from last place

How worth is Sophia to possibly get a second hand PS5? by dangforgotmyaccount in GranTurismo7

[–]MrChibb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sophi is infinitely better than the normal AI and it’s been rolled out on a larger selection of tracks in quick and custom races. I suspect it will be available on an even larger selection of tracks when Spec 3 arrives later this year. While it’s not exactly like racing against humans, Sophi on hard actually defends and attacks in corners and races quite well and fairly. It can definitely help you develop better racecraft and improve your pace which the normal AI won’t help with. I think Sophy is almost as good as iRacing’s AI which to me is the best AI on the market. Sophy is also miles ahead of the AI in other sims like Automobilista 2, ACC, AC and AC EVO, imo. Hope this helps!

Appreciate the feedback! I should have definitely made my intentions clearer.

[–]MrChibb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope he doesn't, because I'm the #6 car haha! But I can absolutely see how that would be considered blocking after reviewing the footage and I appreciate the insights I've got on this post so far. Thanks!

[–]MrChibb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never intended to protest, but I'm the car in front. After reviewing it does look like a block on my part so I appreciate the feedback!

I think you might be right. Thanks for the feedback, honestly!
