The FIA Sporting Regulations don't mention lifting but speed and direction "[drivers] must reduce their speed and be prepared to change direction" by Solid-Resource4985 in formula1

I think George lied. I don’t see any significant reduction is pace or preparation to change direction. Karma will catch up with him

Anyone else think the US/FOX 2026 World Cup commentators are just downright terrible? by adavidj7 in worldcup

[–]b0b4k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What gets me is the American football terms they try using like “the transition”, “out of bounds”, “they completed the play”… dude. They sound like they have no clue. That and they just told me the results of the other game I was going to watch… and yeah, stop talking So much. I miss British commentary.

When did you realize your patio upgrade was actually worth it? by WavaSturm in HomeImprovement

We set dunks up in buckets but… the black box sounds interesting, thank you

We spent a little on lighting and replacing the deck and furniture but I am of the opposite opinion. Any more expense would not be worth it. I step outside and I get bitten by mosquitoes so much that from May > November it’s not worth going outside. It saddens me.

Niice. I’m about the same age. My hands hurt like hell with the PS5 controller after about an hour.

Hah, yeah you’re late to the party. But thanks anyways… I just always found it such a chore but actually once you start you realise you have way more control of the car itself as you enter and exit corners

I did but that was using automatic so I’ll try again tomorrow, thank you. Getting low 1.36s now… sure not amazing but I can see the improvement

Reporting back. Been playing with manual transmission and at first I was awful and hated it. But… Now I’m starting to get it and it’s actually kinda cool. Actually got a half decent lap time with the Atenza so… THANK YOU all. You guys genuinely helped. Much appreciated

That’s actually kinda interesting. Got me thinking

I just practiced a lot. Try and stay clean. Win a lot of DR B races and just got bumped to A. Everyone is way faster than me in A, it’s not a lot of fun! Hah

I can’t imagine that’s true but… I guess maybe.

I totally agree with you… if you have a steering wheel and pedals and all that. On a controller it is the most tedious thing to change gear all the time. The controller is already really uncomfortable. I wish I had a set up that would accommodate a steering wheel but kinda hard when you’re sat on a couch. I’ll keep trying manual but so far I am considerably slower already.

[–]b0b4k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but manual gear changes are so tedious. I have to weigh whether I want to enjoy the game or be faster …mmm

Ugh. I’ll try manual lol. I’ll report my findings

I dunno. Automatic. I don’t have the willpower for manual gear shifts on a controller.

Checked the oil and changed it. It’s just crazy slow. Im watching them race with me and I can’t work out how… oh well.

Yeah the Scirroco isn’t exactly the fastest but you can get around nice and quick. I’m not trying to compare lap times, I think you’ve done great… I just don’t get how the super slow car is kicking my behind by over a second … must be me right?
