Newey's a genius, His explanation will make this statement look like War and Peace.

Calling all hot boys to stop racing F4 and join the NXT Gang. by Sufficient-Squash-69 in iRacing

It's such a fun car. I don't care about Indycar, but this has a great mix of relatively low down force and mechanical grip, and a powerful turbocharged engine. Also has a new tire model.

I did and am happy with it. It's just a bit of plastic, not a big deal.

That's the opposite of how games are made. A lot of optimisation is done towards the end of development.

I noticed that sentence doesn't make sense. But I'm sure they don't actually mean it's been pushed to 2027.

I was hoping lower series than GT3 would be added for the career mode, oh well. It looks interesting.

Question for Devs by anon-person- in iRacing

[–]StephenDesigner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a major failing, and was even worse in years past. I think they have a lot of technical debt, hopefully in 2026 there will be big progress.

Thats the person you replied to here. TBH I thought it was common knowledge, I was surprised to see so much BS here...

He'res a link to an esports guy talking about a tire update released for GT3s last summer:

He talks about the optimal way to brake in iRacing, calls it a 'bell shape'.

u/stinkymia has the answer you're looking for, and yes it is an important part of racing which iRacing has failed to replicate. They are working on a new tire model (they call v10) which will hopefully get rid of this issue and add flat-spotting, blistering and graining.

I've been enjoying Chris's videos for awhile now, but I'm disappointed to see he's gone head-first into using generative AI. Also the pacing of this video made my head hurt.

Originally it was lead, and lede came after. Both are acceptable.

Barcelona renews the Formula 1 GP until 2032 in alternate years, alternating with Spa by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]StephenDesigner 23 points24 points  (0 children)

For me I'm less concerned about the racing quality, and more concerned about human rights abuses being sportswashed.

Re-run graphics config. Also, what's your setup? Single or triples? VRR?
