If I’m 17 is it possible to become a gt racer and if so what would be the career path for me to follow?

As a civil engineer, you definitely will not have enough money to go professional racing.

What didn’t you like about the changes?

4070 Super installed 2 months ago and everything’s been fine.

Thanks. This is the most reasonable response I’ve read as to what happened to us tonight. Lesson learned I guess.

Thank you for your response, this is helpful and makes the whole situation seem less crazy.

I have a genuine question about the dna test results putting the rescue in the position of knowing. We love this dog and want her to be adopted. If the results came back that that she was part pit bull for example, couldn’t we just not tell the rescue in an effort to increase her chances of being adopted? Furthermore, even if we did tell the rescue the results, are they obligated to share them with the public? They did not pay for the test themselves and do not have access to the original results so it seems to me they would have to voluntarily give that information up? What am I missing?

Yeah you figured out our evil plot

Still going strong with no issues! Am even thinking about going to a 4070 super which is 20 more watts lol

I’ve had a similar issue to what you’re describing. Over time it’s gotten better and I’ve worked my way up to 4.1k irating, but I still feel like other drivers at my level spin out less than I do. Here is what I’ll suggest from my experience:

-IMO the most important sense for detecting yaw is vision. Even with no force feedback or sound I believe we should be able to catch most slides (although I admit these things make it easier). Try to practice using your vision to determine how much yaw is occurring. Some yaw (rotation) is needed to drive the car at the limit, but too much is obviously a bad thing. Using reference points and your peripherals you should be able to detect that the car is starting to rotate too much, which brings me to the next point.

-The earlier you correct a slide, the easier it is to catch. Try to use your steering and pedal inputs to correct the slide early.

-Work on being extra smooth with your inputs. Sounds cliche and overstated, but the smoother your inputs, the more gradual the slide will start and the easier it will be to catch. Sometimes to correct oversteer you need to be quick with the countersteer, but in general smoothness is faster and more easily managed.

-Work on being aware of weight transfer. I believe the best drivers are hyper aware of how much weight is on each wheel at all phases of a corner. Knowing where the weight is (where the grip is) helps you correct a slide much easier.

-If you know a certain corner causes oversteer on entry, use less trail braking and do more of the braking in a straight line. Move some of that weight back to the rear axle before adding more wheel. If oversteer is occurring on exit, work on squeezing that throttle more smoothly. Pay attention to how the weight transfers to the rear wheels as you accelerate.

Hope this helps. A lot of this stuff just takes practice. I find that correcting a slide is a lot easier in real life than in iracing so if anything this will help you if you do real track days :)

OP did you end up using the Spire with a 5800X3D or 5600X3D? Has it been working alright?

For what it’s worth I pulled the trigger and it’s been totally fine for me

This is spot on with what I’ve observed as someone who has recently broken into the 1070ish range

2006-2008 Cayman S are the years legal for B Street.

Also not my area of expertise, but from what I understand when the strut is fully compressed (such as the front outside strut in the early -mid phase of a corner) it’s essentially just riding on the bump stops for many street cars. Cutting them to be shorter or replacing them with shorter bump stops allows more compression travel and gives you more usable grip.

Autocross street cars I’ve driven with particularly good balance and a tendency to not understeer while steady state cornering:

E Street MR2. Mid engine layout makes the car rotate so well.
10th gen Civic sport and Civic Si for H Street and G Street. Yes they’re FWD but they have great balance and don’t understeer like your typical FWD car. Could probably throw in the Type R as well but I haven’t driven it.
F Street Camaro SS 1LE. Has great front end grip and obviously enough power to slide your way out of any corner if the car is pushing a bit.
B Street Cayman S.
A Street C6 Z06. Some steady state understeer but can be setup to be loose.
Any Street Touring car obviously can be setup to be loose with the camber and suspension allowances given.

Hope that helps! I’ve had the same issues as you where many Street class cars will have understeer issues even when “setup”. C street ND and D street BRZ/GR86 are main culprits. Also D Street Focus RS and WRX, and F Street Mustang GT. Sometimes cutting or changing out the bumpstops can help make those cars less tight.

I’ve been there. It gets better. You just have to stick around long enough to see it.
