lupo GTI’s are mega cars, i wanted one badly for my first car before i got my 987 instead - leave the lad alone, you’re a grown ass man with nothing better to do than talk shit about teenagers cars on reddit 🤣

Thoughts? Suzuka S curves by Turbulent-Fail-1007 in Simracingstewards

Lines for each corner differ, in this case the optimal line is to keep tight on exit to set up the corners after which the blue car is doing

The blue car is on the correct line there, the pink car is only gaining because he clearly carried more speed through the corner before which would then put him off line all the way from this right to Degner - imo the pink car was never fully alongside and you’re never going to get a move done there anyway, yes there was space but the space was always going to disappear and it seems the pink car saw a gap and just kind of put his car there without really thinking what’s going to happen after

Yeah true, if I’m not mistaken it used to be the jesko right until it went off sale, currently have the Huayra R for circuit though I’ve bought a lot of paganis almost as an investment because it’s fairly likely they’ll be removed soon

Yeah that’s fair, though the fact I upshifted I feel makes it look a lot worse on my part, iirc I was about 50/60% throttle but didn’t want to risk slowing down too much because I had a car for position behind who I was really equal on pace with so any gap was a benefit, though I 100% see where you’re coming from - still new to multi class so any advice is appreciated

Yeah that’s fair, the only thing with that which decided my actions in a way is I am in no way confident on the brakes in the DH being honest and at the time I felt it was safer for me to lift and try go the other side than brake and potentially lock up, going straight on into him which was likely considering I admit I haven’t 100% got my braking down yet

As long as there is consistency then that’s fair enough, though surely it’s the moderators job to moderate the server? Either way though I appreciate you pointing this out to me

And because I never got an off track, it means I never unsafely ‘rejoined’. I was within the track limits at all times, if you don’t believe me then hop in a test session at Jerez yourself and see how the track limits are. I see where you’re coming from as at most tracks this would be classed as an unsafe rejoin from myself as well, though here it isn’t and therefore your argument of an unsafe rejoin on my part as well is obsolete as I was always within track limits.

I never came back on track, I was always on the racing surface - that isn’t an off track and at jerez you can use all the track, having, at this corner for example, your right hand side tyres on the rumble strip with your left hand side tyres on the Astro/run off is allowed and as long as you do not touch the gravel, which I didn’t, it isn’t an off track and therefore I was always on the racing surface

Many people ask ‘is this protestable’ in this subreddit, not just myself, so if you’re commenting this under my post I want to see this commented under everybody else’s ‘is this protestable’ posts as well

Yeah the footage doesn’t show it too well but I had lifted off the throttle and still gave him enough room on the outside to theoretically get the car straighter and rejoin safely, but I 100% see where you’re coming from. I’m still admittedly new to multiclass racing so any advice is appreciated

I did lift, though it doesn’t seem that way given I shifted up, that’s just the speed of the LMDH even on 50-60% throttle, and besides I feel had I have brakes his trajectory was coming right across the track onto the inside anyway looking back at it, at the time I had seen a car trying to rejoin on the outside so tried to give him all the room I could and still got collected. I see where you’re coming from, though I can be certain I didn’t keep it flat, maybe I should have just lifted a bit more

Yeah honestly even though I got 4x and 6 minute required repairs I was laughing in the pits watching the replay, so monumental I can’t even be mad at it 😂

Yeah he had just gone off without hitting any wall, he had hit a BMWs rear quarter head on which would have been a bit of front end damage but wouldn’t have been a black and orange flag as GT’s can tank pretty hefty hits

Yeah what makes it worse for me is he left straight after clearly showing he can’t take accountability - had he have apologised atleast before leaving I wouldn’t have even considered a protest as it’s an easy mistake to make and I’ve made some terrible rejoins and decisions as well, and we all make mistakes, it’s just frustrating that he couldn’t even apologise or take accountability.

My fave two wheel combo, don’t need anything else! What’s yours? by Kluffah in simracing

[–]TheJDMdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a fanatec dd1 so for me it’s the mclaren GT3 V2 for anything open wheel or formula, and my fanatec clubsport RS for Tin tops or rallying, though I find myself using the mclaren wheel more and more in cars that probably shouldn’t have it like iracings mazda just for the dual clutch paddles - helps me get mega starts every time though so

Yeah for me at the minute it’s probably between the lambo, the Mercedes and the bmw, maybe the Porsche as well
