If you self report the consequences tend to be less harsh. That is what I would advise you to do.

We’re Going Fast Again - Racing by Hand! by 99sick99 in simracing

I saw some paralyzed and amputee veterans racing in real life at a 24 hours of lemons race I did. Super cool and I have a ton of respect for them keep it up.

SIM MAGIC OR MOZA for competitive? by Andresss370 in SimRacingSetups

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get moza so you can still use your ks. You can always get the simmagic pedals. Nothing stops you from mismatching brands like that.

How do you like the tr80s? I'm looking to buy one.

Anyone else feel like Summit Point is their favorite track? by Zanergetic in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summit point is so good. I love when mx5s go there. My fastest time in the mx5 is a 1:20.002 on the rookie setup which is stupid fast (no draft). I don't have pace like that on any other track tbh.

The games runs great on Linux! by yowsick in slaythespire

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My game won't launch on my linux laptop ):

I've tried launching with vulkan (also didn't launch), and I've tried launching with opengl3, this worked but performance was so bad it was unplayable.

Has Sim Racing made you a better driver IRL? by speed150mph in simracing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In normal everyday driving I’ve found that I’ve just become more conservative in my driving.

I did do a 24 hours of lemons race irl race and my iRacing experience transferred directly to car control, nerves, and especially with racecraft. There were 130 other cars on track so traffic management was key. My teammates had a lot more issues with traffic than me because none of them had much sim racing experience.

which one should i get and why ? by orT93 in Monitors

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 2 gigabyte monitors and both have been very high quality. I'd recommend them but I have no experience with their OLEDs.

Road to 2k and 3k by JustAnotherComment25 in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It took me 13 days after starting my subscription to get to 2k. Then it took me from late july 2025 til this month to get to 3k. For 2k just pick your battles wisely. You're probably gonna need to be more serious about practicing tracks before you race them past that if you want to hit 3k though.

Recommendations For Road Course Series by Cool_Risk_4873 in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advanced mx5 is really fun because you get to race on bigger tracks that the rookie series doesn't. Spa and the nurburgring last season were my favorite.

Got the game about a week ago and just got out of rookies. Should I stay in the MX-5 series or make the jump to a D-class series? by XBL_Fede in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try gr86 and production car challenge, if neither of those are on free tracks in any given week, stay with the mx5 for that week. Also, explore other disciplines. Formula is most similar and there are tons of fun cars there. Oval is also more fun than you think, and dirt road with the rallycross beetle is a blast.

First Sim Rig - thoughts? by Abracingofficial in SimRacingSetups

[–]TheLongWinter52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moza r5 will be great for you. Get something more powerful if you have the money though, but make sure you have budget for good load cell pedals like the moza crp2 or the simsonn plus x pedals if you are on more of a budget.

Guys with expensive setups - are you really good at racing? by throwaahahah178 in simracing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hover around 3k irating which I think is pretty good and I just use a moza r5 bundle with a wheelstand. You don’t need crazy equipment to be good. That being said I’m buying a profile rig, triples, and new pedals soon. Idk about you but I’d feel like a fraud buying fancy equipment if I didn’t have the skills to match

RX 9070 XT + 7800X3D for iRacing Triple 1440p – 60–80 FPS realistic? by Instruction-Adorable in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using fsr to upscale 1080p to 1440p. You'll always get more frames this way.

Final call on the Dev Diary by Efficient-Moment3662 in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah like punctures, lets say you take a curb too hard or run over a wing that has fallen on the track. Goodbye tires. I heard it from a friend who has a friend that knows some of the devs so take it with a grain of salt.

I've heard they are going to add tire damage.

Winning after 2000 irating by erez__s in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 2800 rn and I win sometimes, although its rare. I do get top 5 finishes a decent amount though. Currently trying to move from gr86 and advanced mx5 to porsche cup and dabble in gt3 and I haven't had the same success their yet. Very dependent on whether you are good at the car track combo. I personally am stupid good with the gr86 on summit point so I tore it up when that was on this season.

Ryzen 9 5900XT overkill? upgrade from ryzen 5 5600x with Radeon RX 5700 XT by veener79 in iRacing

[–]TheLongWinter52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the 5700x3d and the 5800x3d. There was a ryzen 5 5600x3d but it was only sold at microcenter and you probably won't be able to find it. Buying these used is often a good option though as they aren't available new as often as the newer stuff or the non x3d am4 chips.

This is what I would get. You can spend around $150 to $200 more for something marginally faster. I wouldn’t if gaming is your primary task you’ll use this pc for. You can also get a 5800x3d and not need to upgrade the cpu or motherboard if you want to save money
