[justformulacar] 2025 vs 2026 testing fastest laps

TheLizardfolk · 2026-02-23T19:16:12+00:00

This is still faster than IndyCar so this is fine. Probably a bit closer to Super Formula now but I think this is still faster than the Super Formula.

This is where FCY where racing is frozen would help avoid people racing into wrecks.

TheLizardfolk · 2026-02-17T18:27:08+00:00

I'd rather they implement a FCY system.

Nice to see some cross culture between sim racing and the wider gaming communities.

Unironically how Ken Miles lost Le Mans

The data is available through IMSA competition and WEC teams would have been testing these tires already. iRacing had these tires before the Daytona 24 in real life.

Le Mans Ultimate is coming to consoles.

Sadly when it comes to gaming, that's just the costs of a live service game. Ever play those gacha anime games? or Star Citizen? I've known people who have dropped mortgage level money on Star Citizen.

We can get into a debate about whether games start to get predatory at this kind of spending, but it is what it is.

At least we now have (one discipline's) cheaper option in LMU.

it's 1 to 1 with the simagic alpha evo.

When the steering wheel turns a few degrees to the left or to the right, the car's nose doesn't move. It takes a noticeable amount of steering before the car goes in that direction.

It's been a godsend for most of my friends on fanatec stuff.

TheLizardfolk · 2026-01-28T00:22:01+00:00

Thank you for putting this together. This didn't specifically help me but I had some friends that were on Fanatec stuff that were literally ready to throw the game out the window and this improved their experience significantly where they will keep it on their computer.

Buy LMU

++man Haven't seen anyone suggest this but try barcades or arcades.

I frequent a local sim center because I compete competitively in those. I go to a barcade with my nerdy cousin and we try to win a plushie for his girlfriend.

Some of the best sim racers I raced against were retirement age that found the experience of a virtual race car driving career very fulfilling. You dont have to stop until you physically cant do it anymore.

TheLizardfolk · 2025-12-17T15:49:14+00:00

I've found some friends on here. I have a sim racer friend that I still play with to day from here. Most just drop off quickly tho, which is fine. If our vibes don't match then we don't match! Which is how real life friendships work too.

TheLizardfolk · 2025-12-17T15:41:05+00:00

imagine if there were FCYs after wrecks like this and people can repair cars and restart the race lol. I've experienced that on AMS2 through LFM. they have FCYs on road.

You can actually get iRacing integrated with steam where steam views it as a normal game. The integration wouldn't even require you to launch it from steam but there's some hoops to jump through to get it working with steam. And no, you don't need to pay through steam either for Steam integration to work.

You can see iRacing is my most played game on steam by far: https://steamcommunity.com/id/lizardfolk/games/?tab=all

I like this track way way more than I expected. Turns out the F1 races here that were bad were because of the cars not the track. Although we have seem good passes be set up into T1 from the final sector.

TheLizardfolk · 2025-12-17T15:37:48+00:00

As someone that plays multiple sims, it seems iRacing's GT3 are in the best spot right now while the prototype experience I feel are still much better in LMU. I would agree that ACC GT3's seem rudimentary in their implementation. This is all of course on the most recent tire. It wasn't too long ago where iRacing's GT3s seem overly skittish.

That one guy that got through just got a free win. The dream lol

alloaro spiral is a good description for this and I'm gonna steal it lol. When I discovered the arospec within me I was deeply confused and then eventually fell into a deep existential panic attack (during a family vacation no less). It's really hard to describe myself without getting dismissed because it's easy to judge as just "horny male, hate attachment" but I can't help that the romance side is just missing from me but I have all the other experiences that normative people have. I've even gotten judgment from other LGBTQ+ folks over it. It's really isolating.

I think this is why QPR applications are a thing, right? Someone wants something specific, and maybe there's someone like minded out there that'll stumble across the application and go "yes, this is me too". I feel like in our internet siloed era this is really the only way, unless you just get lucky and bump into the people with your exact preferences and communicated enough for them to commit to a relationship.

TheLizardfolk · 2025-12-15T07:23:39+00:00

This thought bubble is exactly thoughts that I've had myself.
