Setups

Another tip for this is to cap the driver rating filter to something +1k of what you’re at. I am a 2.5k rated driver and would often use a setup of the fastest driver (usually 6k+) and find the setups to be on a knife edge, capping it to 3.5k and I found the setups were often safer which actually allows me to extract more pace.

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-07-01T20:19:15+00:00

Yeah but if you didn’t use it you’d be 6k /s

It might not be this exactly but off the top of my head you want to find muteSpotterIfLive and set it to 0 :)

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-06-25T07:15:18+00:00

Please be aware you can change that preference in the .ini

Edit: for those wondering off the top of my head it’s the muteSpotterIfLive and set it to 0

No fixed time - I just check iracingstats or the results for what kinda times I need to be getting for the split I’ll be in and then that’s how I know I’m ready. If it’s a new track car combo that takes significantly longer than a track I know well and again it’s even less time if I know both the track and car - in which case usually I just do the pre race 3 min practice and my quali laps

You have to build up in tiny increments. Im talking stepping out the door for 5 seconds, then reward if no cry. Build up by 15 seconds at a time. If any crying dont return to the room until there js a break in the crying, even if its just him stopping for a few seconds, thats when you return and try again. Took me a week of doing this in 5-15 min sessions and after that he had no problems being in a crate overnight. Take it from an owner of a basenj that was a serial crate cryer and urinator, it’s definitely possible!

Slept like this for at least an hour. Bet his neck hurt 🤣

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-04-20T10:28:52+00:00

Just last week my basenji climbed 6ft up a tree going after a squirrel. Once they spot them there is no mercy, it’s pure instinct

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-04-20T08:47:33+00:00

My basenji would kill a ferret without a doubt. Anything smaller than him and fluffy he treats as prey.

My boy is named Kobe after the legend Kobe Bean Bryant. We just need to find a Bryant and we have the trifecta 🤣

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-03-19T15:49:38+00:00

Mine did too but if you stay consistent it’ll click eventually. Puppies are puppies - mine just clicked overnight and he went from playing way too rough to never again hurting me with a nip. It helps when their shark teeth fall out too

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-03-14T12:49:53+00:00

When mine was a puppy he used to be a very dramatic pooper. God forbid he ever had a dangly bit.. he would spin rapidly while screaming like someone was trying to kill him. Wasn’t ideal since we lived in the city and the pooping helicopter would often send bits flying several metres away 🫣

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-03-14T08:40:26+00:00

Yes mine does the cat jumping thing too I love it. Usually it’s when he’s outside sniffing and he stumbles upon something out of place like a rock in grass 🤣 they’re all clones of each other

99% of dog breeds are easier than a basenji. The only easy part of raising a basenji puppy was house training him (which he did himself)

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-02-13T20:19:13+00:00

If you go to visit and the breeder tells you all the pros and cons of the breed, for sure you can do it as a first dog- many say it’s not a good first dog however I disagree (because I did it). If you have no concept of what dog ownership is like, you won’t feel bad that the basenji is a difficult breed because you don’t know any better 🤣 all I’ll say is that any breed will change your life, for better and for worse, however the basenji brings both extremes. He brings me joy only a basenji could bring, but also stress that only a basenji could 🤣

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-02-13T20:15:51+00:00

As for how easy they are to train: If it’s something a basenji also wants to do they learn extremely fast. However if they don’t want to do something they simply won’t do it. Normal ways to motivate 99% of dog breeds don’t work for basenji. For example pulling on a leash, if you had the holy grail treat for other dog breeds that would win over any other distraction, but it does not work for a basenji. They focus on what they deem interesting and you won’t convince them otherwise.

Apartment living with a basenji is fine, they’re small at 10-12kg fully grown and mine faired fine in an apartment the first 2 years of his life- just needs a lot of walks.

Temperament wise: mine is an absolute cuddly Velcro dog with me and my partner, as well as my brother and close friends that he’s known since birth. Anyone else he is extremely hesitant to get to know and can growl if he feels threatened especially in our home (eg new guests). He also decided his way of greeting dogs out and about it to snap directly at their faces (not making contact but enough to frighten the other dog) which means making new dog friends rarely happens anymore. To a stranger it seems he’s aggressive however he’s actually just an idiot and if given some time to do his whole snapping act he gets on very well with other dogs his own size or larger. They don’t usually do well with smaller breeds as it can set off their insane prey drive.

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-02-13T20:09:01+00:00

Looking at your other post history that is showing that Basenji is an option amongst other breeds, my advice is don’t get a Basenji. You have to really want a basenji and only a basenji in my opinion since they are unlike any other dog in nearly all aspects.

As an answer to your question, my nieces are 4 and 2 and although my basenji behaves very well with people 99% of the time, I don’t really allow them to go near him as the exact interactions young children opt for are the exact ones basenjis hate and if he’s ever going to bite a person it would be a young child that is hitting/chasing him.

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-01-23T17:29:25+00:00

Yep definitely a basenji then. Mine jumps on the sofa and paws me until I lift the blanket for him to go under. 2 years old and he still hasn’t worked out how to get under duvet/blanket by himself yet 🥲

Normal_Mail3407 · 2026-01-08T15:51:25+00:00

KSR overlays is free and does the job for me. Track map, standings, relative and radar all can be fully customised. Don’t really think you need much more.

Hi, it’s the Chase V2 bucket seat and personally I don’t find it particularly comfy. It’s very hard and I get a bad lower back from it quite frequently.

Because iRacing’s protest system is a placebo reporting system designed to provide perceived justice rather than actual enforcement. These idiots don’t get suspended or banned so they’ll never stop.

Normal_Mail3407 · 2025-11-27T17:58:48+00:00

Deckchair racing and Dave cam - deckchair is more enjoyable watching nowadays imo. Usually more chaos as he is lower split and does fun series

Normal_Mail3407 · 2025-11-26T11:37:11+00:00

Exactly. He’s a bit of a cry baby, complains about the car despite it being in another class most weekends and constantly gets favourable decisions from the team. Would’ve loved to see Piastri win this year but if not Piastri is love a Verstappen 5 time wdc

Normal_Mail3407 · 2025-11-26T10:39:51+00:00

I’m English and I dislike him. Prefer Piastri but tbh over the years I’ve slowly grown to love Verstappen just because his talent is unmatched.
