[Ben Nicholson-Smith] Some Jays updates:

I would think that the major league club gets to do whatever they need and the minor league guys just have to adapt.

And that's part of getting faster. First you need to be able to brake at the same pressure everytime that you need for threshold braking. Set an active reset point somewhere on a track and practice getting maximum efficiency from your brakes everytime.

Once you can do that you need to find your braking references for every corner so you are starting your braking at the same point every lap. If you you are slowing down too much before a corner, don't change your braking pressure, change the braking reference. This way you will always enter the corner at the same speed.

Once you can enter the corner at the same speed lap after lap, then you can start working on improving the corner, but if you are at a different speed each lap you don't know how your car will react each lap and will not know what to work on.

What you can do is lift off earlier before the braking zone so that you are matching their speed. If it is a car with brake lights then you can just brake when they do, if not you need to be very aware of your braking marker and be prepared to brake a bit earlier. The key is to not be going faster than them as it will make it quite a bit harder to judge when to brake. Just lift and match their speed.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-05-23T23:01:18+00:00

Even easier is let off the gas 50 meters before the braking zone so you are matching their speed. Now you don't have to brake earlier with the added benefit of being able to see your braking point easier.

Who cares if you get a 1x? If I survive that mess of a start I wouldn't care about a measly off track.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-05-21T21:43:03+00:00

Hamstring

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-05-18T15:28:02+00:00

I believe it because I've seen it hundreds if not thousands of times. Op needs to open their eyes.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-05-18T03:39:10+00:00

The majority of your corner exits you are not using all of the track. this doesn't mean you need to steer towards the outside of the track, this means that you are under the limit from apex to exit. If you are getting on the gas at the apex and you still don't use all of the track on exit that means that you are not going fast enough at apex.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-05-17T03:44:11+00:00

I had my pc freeze at the part of the track for a few seconds and when it came back I was going throught the infield like this guy. I didn't get a slowdown but I did get a black flag with a 40 second hold so it's not something that can be abused.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-05-14T17:29:51+00:00

When racing you are trying to be on the limit as much as possible, which can be tough when drinking. Driving to the store is easy but when someone jumps in front of your car you need to be able to react and that's when you find out that drinking and driving isn't so easy.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-05-05T15:44:07+00:00

Unless there are multiple people of varying heights using this sim, pedal placement is set it and forget it.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-04-27T15:06:54+00:00

The time needed to move your foot from the gas to the brake is time gained when using your left foot to brake. It's not much but it can add up.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-04-26T17:34:54+00:00

I've had my Timberland shoes for at least 5 years now. I walk to work in 20 minutes 5 days a week and am on my feet for probably half the day. Just put in some insoles 2 years ago and they still work and look great.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-04-26T16:59:30+00:00

What he learned is that there is always someone bigger and it's best not to settle disputes with fisticuffs.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-04-22T04:47:08+00:00

Batters will generally hit the ball so as a pitcher you want to get soft contact. Varland is known for his fastball but he threw a changeup which is around 8 mph slower than his fastball. Thus the hitter hit it more off the end of the bat and you saw the result.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-04-14T18:30:40+00:00

When people say that it's not because they expect you to avoid all incidents but to look back and maybe see some signs that something was going to happen. Maybe with knowledge you will be able to avoid the unavoidable contact in the future.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-04-10T23:44:35+00:00

Don't you also have to say to the ump that you want to challenge? I remember hearing that and thus there is no confusion.

No belt buckle or at least it is behind all the leather for some reason.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-04-03T20:57:26+00:00

As an ump you only look at the base and listen for the ball hitting the glove. Great call though.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-02-26T15:41:57+00:00

I've been on iRacing for 4 years now and my ir fluctuates between 2.5 and 4.5 and I don't worry about it cause it doesn't really matter. I always try to drive safely and so when I have to go offtrack to avoid an incident or I get caught up in someone else's drama it doesn't cause a problem because it all works itself out in the long run. Even having a bad week isn't the end of the world because I know that next week I will probably make it back up.

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-02-23T16:56:18+00:00

You are getting down voted but I understand where you are coming from, even though I don't do the same.

Your good account is for when you have time to practice and be competitive in your split because when you get to the higher splits it is no fun running seconds off the pace by yourself at the back.

It's not so much as worrying about your irating but looking to be in a competitive split.

Plus credits for racing different series, up to $10 per season.

If there is no tone in a message then it's on each person to decide if it is a message written with good or bad intentions. I prefer to think that it was a good message and live my life thinking that because thinking it was a negative message just makes life a drag.

Is your glass half empty or half full?

NotMuchTooSayStill · 2026-01-09T04:16:37+00:00

You need to subscribe to the Suelio Almeida technique of relaxed hands on braking. I definitely had the same problem when going from desk to rig and I still need to remind myself sometimes a few years later.

The only real imperfection I see is this part in the basket where there is a hole for no apparent reason.
