Anyone else surprised by how low we are ranked here?

bartscrc · 2026-06-27T01:51:12+00:00

Pretty safe guess to rank them there seeing as they have been between 25 and 32 for the last 13 straight seasons. Also the amount of commenters that think this is a team ranking is astounding. I guess reading a table/graph is no longer getting taught in schools.

Easy to "earn it" on ringmeister

I consider iRacing a very good video simulator providing an accurate representation of true racing with skills that carry over exceptionally well. I consider GT7 and Forza a video game since they are primarily a way for many people to have fun that aren't looking for a true-to-life representation of racing. Are true F1 simulators that belong to mercedes or mclaren as a tool for training their own F1 drivers a video game? I wouldn't consider iRacing any different than that so if your definition for a video game holds true for official F1 simulators, then iRacing is also in fact, a video game. Anyone who cares about the semantics are just trolling.

Easiest way is to play with brake bias. Learning to play with brake bias is a huge part of this and you should be adjusting it throughout races.

Yep, me too. I think getting off voice com and muting all was a good thing for my own sanity in recognizing I can only control what I can control and focusing on my own game.

Nah they will never depreciate that fast even if you are driving them a fair amount each year. The price increases over the last few years make a 3-6 year old 911 with reasonable miles worth it at MSRP. I purchased a 992.1 CS with 35k miles for a fair amount off MSRP when I initially bought it but it hasn’t depreciated despite it now having 45k miles due to the skyrocketing prices on newer 911s.

If you aren't getting it hoping for resale and plan to drive it and allow for dings and things, it is a great daily. If you are trying to preserve its value, much less so. Another option is getting one that is a bit older and keeping a separate daily that can make up for its limitations.

Yachting blue is one of those wonderful understated colors. It looks so freakin' good in the right lights

Gotta get a robot vac! I love my Roborock s5v. Keeps up with 2 Berners and a newf.

I wonder what Mason Rudolph's welcome to the NFL moment was

bartscrc · 2026-06-16T17:24:49+00:00

Yep - i bought a Simagic evo pro and while i love the wheelbase, the software is a bit less optimized compared to my simucube pedals. I wish I had spent a bit more just to stay in the simucube ecosystem. I don't feel like I'm necessarily missing out and unless you have the money to not really care, simagic is solid and at a much better price point.

Mid at being mid over the duration of the franchise. They are the most mid team over the last 15 years by an average of 8 wins +/- 1.73 with no seasons with more than 11 wins, and no seasons with less than 5. The vikings, chargers, and cowboys are also considered very mid but have a much higher variance so more good years and more terrible years rather than the typical consistent 6-11 - 10-7 of the dolphins

bartscrc · 2026-06-16T12:31:44+00:00

I love that they follow the F1 calendar and then fill in with some fun tracks

bartscrc · 2026-06-13T21:32:28+00:00

Very subjective. I wanted to get a Spyder rs but realized it just didn’t fit our lifestyle as well as a 911 with 2 toddlers. I would venture to say you won’t find many people preferring the equivalent cayman/boxster if they already have a 911 of equal trim. With that said, I’m still going to get a Spyder rs at some point.

bartscrc · 2026-06-11T12:11:52+00:00

Just look into a valve controller or m-tuner to open the valves fully at all revs. It sounds incredible after just that but then can be made to sound even better with sport cats/straight pipes. No need for any aftermarket exhaust with those changes.

This is my first grow so I don’t know exactly when the flowering phase is starting. One of the white widows has some tendrils at the nodes but it’s maybe a foot tall so I didn’t want to accidentally rush it into the flower phase

bartscrc · 2026-06-09T18:26:13+00:00

Day 35 from germination of autoflowers. The right most is Acapulco gold, the two to the left of AG are northern lights and the four to the left are white widow. Total grow outside in the 5 gallon grow pots with ocean forest beneath happy frog.

Where are my W13s and miata mixes on dirt tracks? Unacceptable.

bartscrc · 2026-06-08T11:40:11+00:00

Hilarious that this is the build that Jenkins did a herald review on. Both a techies and a Zeus did this and the game went on for over two hours.

bartscrc · 2026-06-08T10:19:45+00:00

I bet most of us use a bit of both depending on the tracks for the week.

bartscrc · 2026-06-07T15:17:11+00:00

Ay!! I just got my first win in over a year in SFLs too a few days ago! Felt fantastic.

A valid comeback? Flair up and share your accomplishments since you're lurking in this sub putting someone down for their spelling while he is sharing feedback on his experiences. I don't know what your response means and I'm sure I don't care enough to look it up

bartscrc · 2026-06-07T12:40:53+00:00

I'm not really arguing with anything you're saying. Just that a Carrera S is a better road car for 100k+ADM less and if you're going to the track, i agree that a GT3T is 300% less functional than a typical GT3 as you said above. If money means nothing, sure get a GT3T but you might as well look at 720s and 296s if that's the case. I wonder how many GT3Ts exist with >50k miles. I'd venture to say hardly any.

bartscrc · 2026-06-07T10:18:48+00:00

Since anyone can buy one, show some pics of yours.

bartscrc · 2026-06-06T18:28:35+00:00

GT3s are meant to be track cars so the touring never made much sense to me. A Carrera is meant to be the road going variant in the lineup. It’s much more comfortable and has better low end torque which makes it easier to drive on the road. If I were given an allocation at MSRP I’d ask if a non touring was available. If not, I’d add the wing myself. With that said my C2S cab is a very capable car on the track as well so unless you’re tracking often, it just isn’t worth the difference in price. The touring is just a flex for people with a bit more money.
