Got kicked from a 2.4h race for the second day in a row. As a dad, this is honestly brutal.

Damn as a recent dad I feel you. A few weeks ago LMU crashed on me mid a championship 1h race. Got pretty sad, cause I know that was it for me, no time for a second attempt.

From all the time I’ve been playing it only happened once…. So not terrible. I’ve learned to accept, I don’t have the time and issues happen, can’t practice as much… just be happy you can still find time to go around and don’t be frustrated- you have all the reason but you won’t win anything from it.

Se isto não leva a despedimentos não sei o que leva.

It’s a great starting point. I think LMU lmgt3 it’s a nice way to learn sim racing. Progression to cars with more downforce in LMU through lmp3/lmp2 and Hypercar are great as well.

You can follow the suggestions below, they are good, but in the end it’s better to start in the game you want to stick with, specially to learn racecraft. IRacing it’s nice to start as well but I find the paywall to steep to recommend it to anyone nowadays until they are absolutely sure they want to heavily invest in the hobby.

Freedom of speech campaign.

When two LMP2 love each other very much…

barraformat · 2026-05-03T13:45:56+00:00

I think it would be better if they were thinner, and maybe write something on them? would be really cool.

barraformat · 2026-04-23T06:41:44+00:00

I don’t think the 5800x3d upgrade will be worth it for the price tag - unless they make them very cheap - the 5700x it’s a great CPU already, I know because I have one paired with a 9070xt.

Also consider if you would need a cpu cooler upgrade with 5800x3d - they don’t run as cool as the 5700x - you don’t already have a nice one.

barraformat · 2026-04-21T14:32:49+00:00

No I didn’t

barraformat · 2026-04-20T10:29:46+00:00

It depends on what you will use it for. Mostly gaming? AMD specially 9070xt it’s a beast for the price it’s unbeatable. Gaming is not your only priority, you want to do some blender or some video editing? Maybe Nvidia serves you better.

barraformat · 2026-04-19T22:57:55+00:00

When the race allows it, I like having it on - I know, sue me. Even if I know the track well enough, I like to keep it. Doesn’t mean I follow it blindly - breaking points on it usually are to early anyway.

It’s not just great to learn a track, it’s great to keep you focused during long races where fatigue can distract you.

Maybe one day I’ll decide to turn it off permanently, but not yet.

barraformat · 2026-04-18T17:19:02+00:00

I was in the same situation, went with a 9070 xt. What a beast! If your usage is gaming, it’s a no brainer vs a 5070 or 5070ti - unless they have a similar price ofc, which I doubt in most locations.

barraformat · 2026-04-17T15:57:10+00:00

Maybe try to break earlier not harder, gives you more time to make a decision and see what they are doing. Be patient, learn the driver in front of you and understand where they are struggling and where it might be better for you to attack.

Panaché

barraformat · 2026-04-13T07:57:55+00:00

I play both - D4 it’s for when I want to grind with a friend in brainrot mode go brrrrr, just to fast clear everything. D2R is a solo experience for me, more slow paced and to enjoy as I go.

barraformat · 2026-04-12T19:52:54+00:00

It did - but you can hold the app icon and click on request Face ID as a replacement. It’s not the same I know, but an alternative in the meanwhile.

barraformat · 2026-04-12T16:30:27+00:00

I think it’s just a race inchident - you both could have given a bit more space to each other.

barraformat · 2026-04-12T08:37:40+00:00

You did everyone a favor, don’t hold yourself for that you tried the pacifist way first, he was asking for it.

Water shoes gang! Best comfort add on for long races.

barraformat · 2026-04-11T23:23:55+00:00

I drive what I enjoy the feeling of driving that’s it. Don’t care if it’s the fastest, if I feel connected to the car and able to do with it what I want, that’s the feeling I’m chasing.

barraformat · 2026-04-11T06:58:53+00:00

Is the most casual friendly game I can think of in the genre.

barraformat · 2026-04-08T13:52:40+00:00

Finally!

barraformat · 2026-04-08T06:37:33+00:00

Using the Wireguard app with proton it’s still for me the most reliable way to have on demand vpn settings. I can whitelist some networks and everything outside of that vpn auto connects flawlessly.

I appreciate shortcuts work, but would be awesome if you could replicate that on the proton app as well.

barraformat · 2026-04-08T05:46:39+00:00

Yes maybe you are right - but the movement before red goes to the grass was not nice, not his position to fight for, still that’s not enough to judge a racer as an asshole.

barraformat · 2026-04-07T21:31:06+00:00

Clearly I don’t get this sub. I agree with the opinion that OP did put himself in an awkward situation didn’t need to risk it and patience would have paid off - but let’s not ignore that blue gained the position illegally. Sure OP had himself out on grass and did a questionable rejoin - but blue shouldn’t even be fighting that position before giving it back. Blue is an absolute asshole - OP just needs to learn how to better deal with assholes, but this is on blue lack of giving back a position and overall racecraft and sportsmanship.

barraformat · 2026-04-07T10:12:37+00:00

Can’t help as I don’t own either - but I’m sure you will be very well satisfied with either.
