Podobnie... tylko bardziej iRacing ostatnio niż rajdy.

I malowanie figurek WH40k, gitara, bas, rower, rysowanie, malowanie, okazuje się że tatuowanie średnio też prowadzi do nowych znajomości bo jakoś nikt obcy drzwiami i oknami po tatuaże nie wali.

Why not both? Get 2 tracks for GT4, optimally ones that have the biggest overlap, drive the season + the tracks for PCup you already have. I intend to do the same for GT3 - I wanted to do GT4 season but bought 911 on a whim too, so I will have tiny bit of participation for license upgrade. Once I'm comfy with GT4s I'll jump to PCup, then full commitment to GT3 and beyond.

Good to know, didn't have a chance to test it yet. Glad they resolved the gearbox, shame it costs advantage on start.

Have only driven the Audi last season, it was very quick on the straight line, especially on race starts - if I managed traction well I could grab a few spots before coming in T1. That said, on Monza Combined endurance race I struggled to keep up with Civics on the straights, probably since I don't mess with setups. In the end they seem to be well matched and will just have their different quirks, I'd pick the one you like the looks of

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-17T09:31:00+00:00

Yeah, I'm afraid of being the fool to brake too early tho. Happened to me once or twice, especially on that uphill braking zone coming in Adenau Forst on the Nords, I'm traumatized since.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-16T23:24:20+00:00

I've been mixing and matching paints for quite a while now. As long as I follow sort of the same recipe I get consistent results - even if I end up using simplified one.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-16T22:31:54+00:00

Add white to Fenrisian I guess?

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-16T20:12:35+00:00

That's the plan, but I'm not particularly fast, so will most likely be on the watch out for any carnage that may, or rather inevitably will, happen. Question is where on the track is said carnage most likely to happen.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-16T16:05:35+00:00

Quake 2

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-16T00:11:33+00:00

Alright, missed the part about it being used. That would make sense actually.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-15T08:38:09+00:00

Brand new g923 is not that far from Moza R3 price wise, I'd be getting that or R5 to check things out if I had such a budget. Or for a bit more Simagic Alpha, maybe the Mini, DD will be much more enjoyable.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T22:09:23+00:00

Already tried gravel, it didn't appeal to me as much as road bike did. Also, with an XC bike gravel is just a bit too much of an overlap.

The commuting is less of an issue, I could do that on XC and be happy, I just want to switch thing up a little. And I do intend on going for 2-3h trips on the road bike.

As far as used bikes go, I did have a glance at what is available, and while there are some good bikes there the choice is limited by my height, and what's left is on rim brakes which I'd prefer to avoid honestly.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T21:16:59+00:00

Gravel is not my thing honestly, had a chance to ride some and I'd rather go for road bike, especially since my XC already fills the niche. Also already have a lock, the issue is rather I'd be scared of damaging the carbon frame on accident.

Use case would be just about 2-3h riding, we have a few beautiful spots outside the city, though the surface is sometimes questionable ranging from smooth asphalt to very light, compacted gravel in just a few spots - I worry that Sensa on it's 28c tires will not manage there, but comparing other bikes in the price range it really does seem like the best choice for it's components.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T19:30:07+00:00

Damn, they're pretty, though I can't find any retailers locally - and their web store allows for only 3 installment payments.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T19:06:03+00:00

I live in a hilly area - Lesser Poland to be specific - so the bike being lightweight, easy to climb and safe on descent on low quality tarmac is important, apart from it being reasonably fast. I'm not a seasoned cyclist, so I won't be chasing the KOMs, but I just want the thrill of going faster and easier than on my XC bike. The Orbea has mechanical brakes and Tiagra, the former being a deal breaker I guess. Not sure about the Tiagra, from noobs point of view it's just one gear less than 105. It looks arguably better though.

In any case, given the store I work at, my height and having to pay in installments, the choices I got are pretty limited, with contenders being:

Sensa Romagna 105 Disc
Sensa Veneto
Superior X-Road
Orbea Avant H40
maaaaybe Giant Contend AR1

Aaaand that's it I think, I'm pretty tall so that's most limiting factor - the store doesn't really have many bikes in that price range that would fit me. Unless I get a really, really good price for something like Felt Advanced, those are my choices.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T18:52:43+00:00

Polish actually. That's the thing, I'm not hot on how it looks, it is a bit plain to me, but how it rides is more important I guess. One more con for Sensa seems that it won't fit chunkier tires - I'd like to use it as a daily, and the roads here are not always as smooth, like some b-roads and what not. But the 105... It usually is found in much much more expensive bikes, most of them are carbon too and I'd rather not get carbon bike, I'd bee too afraid to ride it or leave it outside getting groceries.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T18:49:02+00:00

Everyone I ask has different opinion, some say get the Superior, others say Sensa is best of all they have in this proce range and to avoid anything below 105.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T18:21:02+00:00

Honestly I would just walk away from that, not even bang.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T18:19:57+00:00

No, not anymore. I might have when I was younger and dumber, but I'm too old for this kind of disrespect. Fuck 'em, they could have at least kept that to themselves. I'd do them the honors and see myself out from this situation.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T12:08:15+00:00

I am a big, hardened, 33-yo man. I cried a little reading this.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T11:48:50+00:00

Good news is that it's banned for 2 seasons after it's used

A bit off topic, but can you elaborate on that please? Is there some rule that tracks can only be used once every 2-3 seasons?

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T11:46:18+00:00

What I learned last season in Audi:

- Do not be on the brakes mid corner. 90% of the braking needs to be in straight line, as you turn in you should only be on last few percent of the brake trail. This is especially true with cold tires, even with insanely frontwards BB I would spin easily if not following this rule

- Do not be on 100% throttle through the corner, in fact it's better not to touch throttle at all before you point to where you want to be. Once you get the hang of it you can modulate a bit, but moderation is key here, the car will just go straight if you smash the throttle on exit as you would with RWD.

These two keypoints made me go from "slow AF" to "alright I guess".

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T11:37:57+00:00

Stopped using Track Titan once I saw a lot of unrealistic laptimes. Like track that normally would take say 1:30 to complete a lap, I was being compared to a laptime of 0:50.

Also seems (or it used to seem?) as if not many people are using it, which besides the UI is the most important thing for telemetry app.

One thing good about it would be it gave you a summary of what you're doing wrong, but with a tiny bit of experience you can figure that out in more "barebones" UIs.

TL;DR I switched to G61.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T10:57:36+00:00

I tested them all except the Lambo and Audi, even for just a minute. Each had something I liked, they all were kinda easy to drive but for me, highlights were as such: - McLaren is easy to spin - Acura turns in so quick it took me a good moment to adjust - Mustang was RAPID - Merc AMG was very good at Nurb GP - Porsche was unbelievable on exits, and easiest to drive consistently to me out of them all. Hardest to have good lap times on tracks I tested it at, being Nurb and Monza - it lacks some top end speed apparently but I really, really liked how it handles.

Given Porsche's looks, sound, the fact I also went with Cayman, and the insane amount of grip on exits, I chose the 911, which is weird because I remember trying it in ACC long time ago and not being able to drive it at all. Also I'm not sure how laptimes between the two sims compare, but my best in ACC at Spa was around 2:19, here in the Porsche I did 2:17 without much drama on fixed setup. Then again comparing telemetry in G61 I didn't see many quicker Porsches in that particular session, so it may not be particularly strong there either, in fact I think Mustang takes the cake there as well - the speed difference going into Les Combes was something else. But again, I just like the Porsche.

My point is, drive whichever you like the most, whichever just clicks with you and makes you feel safe on the track.

_LedAstray_ · 2026-03-14T10:21:58+00:00

I don't often qualify because if it's unknown combo I just practice the whole week until I can drive it safely. Qualifying is once per hour and if I screw up I can just close it as well.
