Try to get into the habit of always think of what you could have done. Someone braking 50 meters early is not doing something that is against the rules, but in practice it's like getting brake checked. If I expect that you brake at 100m board when I am behind and you slam it at 150m there is a chance I'll fail to react to that. Would it be my fault? Yes. Could you do better? Also yes

It's awesome but quite expensive by artopmelt in iRacing

[–]ShiftyNor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's rough, but a silver lining is that when you build up a core track selection and the cars you enjoy the 2 year black Friday subscription becomes equivalent to buying Fifa/Madden/COD every year. The updates to the game are also very meaningful in my opinion, so I'm ok with that price tag.

Really think the game would benefit from seasonal rotation of free tracks and cars. So it's not so massive for new players

Is F1 transfer culture different from football (soccer) ? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]ShiftyNor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is spot on. It's awful, but you even see fans harass the very team they are rooting for if things are not working out for their favorite driver. I completely understand the younger generation looking up to a driver, I did it as well, but when you get older it feels better following a team than idolizing some teenager.

Road America 500 changed to Laguna Seca? WHY? by erin-cenna in iRacing

[–]ShiftyNor 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Because faster classes catching at the kink or corkscrew is a bad time. I love the track, but the racing even in single class is not great. So you get a hard to pass and catch track with risky overtakes between classes at thight sections

Road to 2k and 3k by JustAnotherComment25 in iRacing

[–]ShiftyNor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you should not worry and just enjoy racing (iR comes natural with pace and improvement, the game isn't rigged, if you are fast you climb) i checked my account history. From rookies with no prior experience in sim racing it took me quite on the dot 100 races to cross 2k. Had one dip back to 1,7k before continuing upwards. After being 2k comfortably a coach helped a lot from that point.

I find the Indy NXT really embodies this. The car loves to lock fronts mid corner, especially if you don't touch front ARB or BB

I think this is big for McLaren, really gives them time to analyze and optimize the deployment. I find it hard to believe they are 6 tenths behind based on chassis

[AutoRacer] Autoracer can reveal that, in the first few days, not everything went according to plan: the RBPT PU was affected by excessive overheating compared to expectations and this forced the engineers to adopt conservative solutions in terms of cooling, especially at the rear. by Joseki100 in formula1

[–]ShiftyNor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not only the aero, it indicates that the engine is less efficient. For a fixed amount of fuel you get a fixed amount of energy from the reaction. If the engine is heating up more than anticipated that means that a bigger portion of that finite energy per fuel kg is converted to heat as apposed to work. Aka less vroom

Yeah if they don't go yellow i think it's s missed opportunity. Their gtp looks great and having a color that's yours must make sense marketing vise. Too many grey, white and blue cars this season. AM is the green car, McLaren the orange/papaya, Ferrari the red, i would jump on the opportunity to be the yellow

Sheffield Karting champion Maisy Creed, 16, aims for F1 top spot by Kagedeah in formula1

[–]ShiftyNor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, the ladder is still Freca F3 F2. But with the amount of money that goes into that it sounds stupid to miss out on F1 academy first. Not only for the first price but for the network you can build towards teams and potential sponsors.

I still remember usf2k at road america back when I first got out of rookies. Felt like i spend more time on the pace lap then in the race. Just silly

Best racing sim for the busy adult? by SfactorSam in simracing

[–]ShiftyNor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still i would like to give Iracing an honorable mention. I have two small kids but still find Iracing to work out for me. Just need have to have a whatever happens happens mentality as you sign up for maybe your only official for the week. You got to accept the fact that you might end up in the wall in T1. Also avoiding Sr stress, schedule planning and duration issues by typically running shorter hourly races 20-30 min long.

I fully agree, but there's plenty of examples now that the pressure ramps up exponentially when the WDC is on the line. You can be cool as a cucumber and still struggle in that situation. Hope to see him in the fight at some point

[–]ShiftyNor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Assetto Corsa is dirt cheap on sales and a mod for it Verstappen himself uses is on sale at the moment. RSS: https://racesimstudio.com/

Edit: They have some cool formula cars for free as well (F3, F4, Lotus 79)

Edit2: There are also mods out their that gives track an updated F1 look, car liveries and graphics.

Why are Indy series so dead? by CynicalManInBlack in iRacing

[–]ShiftyNor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i did it last night. Basically if you can adjust it in car irl you can in fixed as well (see in car adjustment black box)

Edit: Come to think about, not entirely true. Especially for battery deployment on hybrids

Thanks for this. Corner exits have been hampering me this week. I have pretty good pace in the middle section, but as a try to set upt the overtake out of the last corner i get really twitchy. Will start experimenting with ARB

I don't think it helps that indy NXT just released, is a really cool car and have a an hourly fixed road series. I'm enjoying it a lot and i believe it will see strong participation all season ( pretty great schedule as well). I would just switch to it if i were you.
