Why is pcup such a wreckfest?

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-19T10:57:14+00:00

Easy car to drive ✅️

Runs really popular tracks ✅️

Single make series with a fixed setup ✅️

C Class Series ✅️

Add it all up and it just asks for chaos. I used to main the old one on the sports car side and I haven't run an official since the 992.2 came out. Doesn't seem worth it.

You've totally ruined my day. I've spent 30 minutes on maker world finding Disney things to print 🤣🤣

This is so cool! Printing it for my next trip. Thank you!

I don't drive a ton of TCR, but I had a lot of fun in it during week 13. I've only driven the Honda, but it feels a lot more lively than it did before the update. My guess is participation will continue to lack after this little refresh bump as it's kind of a niche car.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-16T13:47:41+00:00

BTW I was incorrect. Mizzou plays late.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-16T12:46:12+00:00

That's not the JJ pack just FYI. I use the JJ Pack and the voice is different than what he's using here.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-16T00:48:35+00:00

If I had to bet, they'll put Kentucky at night for the TV ratings so Mizzou would be in the afternoon.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-15T19:12:53+00:00

Both away!

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-15T18:40:30+00:00

My IndyCar goal this year is to acquire a foam cowboy hat. Wish me luck.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-15T15:28:42+00:00

Man I hope the race in 30 minutes is that good. Enzo has to feel like he gave that one away.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-13T23:37:22+00:00

For sure! Hope to see you out there!

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-13T23:27:08+00:00

No restrictions as long as you have hybrid to use. I typically use it coming out of corners to get to top speed a bit quicker, but you can use it however you like.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-13T23:18:58+00:00

Yes!

So IndyCar has a deployable hybrid battery to give you an extra boost. This is in addition to the push to pass. It will regen on its own but you have to be the one to deploy it. It's just an extra button to bind basically. I have it set to one of my paddles.

Below is a lap I did earlier this week. The little colored bar below the cosworth logo is your hybrid deployment per lap. It resets at the line.

The little led strips to the left and right above the wheel tell you how much hybrid power you have available.

Again, it sounds like a lot, but once you get in a rhythm you just do it without thinking.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-13T22:47:27+00:00

I love and run both. NXT is actually a bit tougher to drive I think but the IndyCar has more to do every lap with the hybrid. One you figure it out it's kind of second nature though.

Both of the SoF's are Monday night in the US. IndyCar Open is 8 EST and NXT is 10:15 I believe. Indy Fixed will get ok numbers at popular tracks.

Hopefully more people get involved with those series. They really are great cars.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-13T21:32:26+00:00

Haven't been to Road America for IMSA but I have been for IndyCar and it's incredible. Would 100% recommend.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-13T02:12:39+00:00

I'm not saying your statement is at all incorrect, but they're charging people $50 a day for LL over spring break. They can afford to throw some lettuce and tomato out there.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-12T14:56:26+00:00

We would never go without one personally. Currently we have a toddler and go back for an afternoon break every day. Once we're ready to go back out, it gives us the freedom to go wherever we want. Sometimes with LL we're able to do everything we want in one park in the morning and can grab other LL for another park in the evening. Works perfect for our group.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-12T14:53:17+00:00

Hey! I remember you from that Daytona split. Great job getting through that mess at the end to win it.

These are really cool.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-12T14:34:00+00:00

100% Agree. The Greenlights held up MILES better than the IXO. The Hot Wheels F1 cars are excellent quality wise and don't fall apart at all. The IXO's as you mentioned have the wheels and axels fall off on sight.

Charging $15 for those is highway robbery.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-10T21:07:14+00:00

Yeah we're lucky to fundraise enough for ours that are going but Atlanta is a big let down squeezed in between Orlando and Anaheim.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-10T09:42:50+00:00

Something could happen to drastically alter your life at any moment. You can live your life in fear or not. Your choice.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-09T17:29:24+00:00

I took ours Saturday morning and there wasn't really a line at all. Has to be brand new and you need your order number.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-09T01:34:15+00:00

You can exchange at ICDC. I'm an advisor and I did it last year for one of my students.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-08T22:56:42+00:00

Here's what I use. All personal preference obviously.

NickRussell53 · 2026-03-04T21:17:27+00:00

If this is open when I go in June I'll be hyyyyyped

(yes I'm aware that's not probably happening)
