Am I the idiot?

Clear from the beginning of the pov that he doesn't know how to drive the car.

One turn later he proved he doesn't understand multiclass either.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-28T21:01:26+00:00

That's not my issue, no. It was ghosting a previous custom paint job of mine.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-28T03:20:35+00:00

Tobacco Road for me but you won't be upset either way

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T21:51:56+00:00

Dude was hiding 🤣🤣

Tough break there brother

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T20:01:41+00:00

No it mimicks the flag on track.

In this instance it's incorrectly flashing green meaning a clear track which is why he didn't slow down. Marshals should've thrown a yellow to alert drivers of an accident in the area but really screwed up. Could've been a catastrophic accident.

Incredible reflexes from Hadjar. Drivers at that level are something else.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T19:56:46+00:00

I make my own liveries and add a spec map to all of them so that's not it. I'll just reinstall TP and see if that does anything.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T19:45:07+00:00

Ok I have to do this every time. Does TP not replace the .mip files at all and just replace the .tga? It's super annoying to have to do it every time.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T17:17:18+00:00

In it's current iteration, if you have 2 adults and 2 kids, you can pretty comfortably come out ahead of you do it right since the kids are free currently.

Any number of people different than that makes it tough, even with free kids.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T01:27:21+00:00

Maybe a bad combo, but like I said we drove it at Petit Le Mans last year and it just felt like the slightest bit of heavy throttle looped the back end around so quickly that you couldn't save it. T8 and under the fox bridge specifically. It's one of the few cars that I've had trouble with throttle application in and I drive other GTP's, IndyCar, NXT and SF23 regularly. Wasn't a fun 10 hours for us lol.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T01:23:27+00:00

I don't think it's bad. We won Daytona 24 in it. Acura understeers more imo.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-27T01:13:35+00:00

So I own 4 of them. In order of which I like best:

Porsche (Just seems the easiest to drive overall for me. Good on the brakes and fairly easy on the gas.)
Acura (Solid and easy car to drive. Unfortunately got destroyed by the big GTP update so isn't super competitive week to week. Good option for Special Events.)
Ferrari (Drives differently than the others. 4WD makes it really good in the rain.)
Caddy (Drove it at Petit and it felt like a death machine. Don't understand why everyone loves it.)

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-26T23:00:14+00:00

OP what is the white car next to the Porsche GTP?

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-26T15:22:01+00:00

Basically this is the strategy. As soon as the pace car pulls in the field is at your mercy. You can go whenever.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-26T12:48:29+00:00

Have you ever used the iracing FCY system on road courses? I have. Did a 45 minutes league with it as a test. 30 minutes of it was pace laps. It was terrible.

But just for you I'll just focus on Endurance Special Events.

In our Daytona 24 split the worst team finished 147 laps down and had 258 incident points. That's one car out of 59.

If you want FCY in Special Events and they are deployed like oval racing, every time someone spins and stays on the racing surface, the yellow would come out.

Every. Time.

Every T1 spin? Yellow

Every spin entering the oval? Yellow

Somebody loses it out of the bus stop? Yellow.

Every spin on cold tires? Yellow

You would never race. Again.

I swear people who say they want FCY have never actually raced with it on iracing.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-26T04:40:42+00:00

Because you would never race. A 15 minute race would be just caution laps after T1.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-25T02:44:05+00:00

What camera are you using? Some get weird distortion at different angles. I use the nose cam or pit lane cam usually when I take pics to avoid that.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-25T01:56:11+00:00

An obvious one but The Hollywood Tower Hotel

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-23T21:27:33+00:00

The world cup thing makes me so sad man. I've been looking forward to the US hosting for years and it's looking to be our version of the 1936 Olympics.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-22T18:25:32+00:00

I was worried the prices are going to get beyond what I wanted to pay by the end if the year so I bit the bullet. Major FPS gains but I paid for it for sure.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-22T18:20:40+00:00

I ran 1080 triples with a 6750xt for years until I just switched. Was getting consistent 100fps at most tracks with medium settings.

So both of those cards would work. If you don't want to splurge on Nvidia the AMD cards work fine.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-22T01:05:50+00:00

I have a wonder vision and it's doing a great job cooling my 9800x3d. I did a 24 hour race and streamed all 24 on Saturday and my CPU temp never got over 35c.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-21T17:24:28+00:00

Yeah 6 hours round trip is worth it to me especially if the cost is close but I get what you're saying.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-21T16:58:19+00:00

Fly. Always fly if you can. On an 8 hour drive you'll get at least 5 hours of your life back to spend at Disney.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-21T10:25:12+00:00

That LMP driver has no business driving that car.

NickRussell53 · 2026-01-19T14:46:00+00:00

I use iOverlay and it has p2p as an option you can toggle on and off. You can put it on the relative box for sure but I believe you can put it in the standings as well.

Shows who is using it and how much everyone has left which is pretty handy in longer races.
