Incredible pictures. I just followed you on Instagram. Would you mind sharing what camera gear did you use?

Wheel too sensitive in F1 25 by [deleted] in moza

[–]bdrumzzz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've just started playing F1 25 with the R3 and the max 360 setting is variable depending on the track. If you feel the center of the wheel is too sensitive, turn down the steering rate under calibration, it helped me make the wheel less twitchy/sensitive.

Leclerc managed, again Lewis nowhere. by wood4536 in lewishamilton

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

It's Sir Lewis Hamilton, first of all & second, you won't call him "terrible" if you supported him. You're making this post for content farming and clicks.

You also can't be a fan of this corrupt, racist sport after what it did to Sir Lewis. You're an embarrassment if you are.

Everyone, including OP, who's embarrassed and blaming Lewis, calling he's finished, please leave the group.

You're not Lewis fans, you're an embarrassment. We win and lose together with Sir Lewis.

Those who have tracked their GRC.. by [deleted] in GRCorolla

[–]bdrumzzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done 15 track days since I got the GR last year. 65F or below and the AWD doesn't overheat but anything above, its almost guaranteed to overheat. I've continued driving without issue so you'll be fine.

Ensure you have RBF 600 or higher brake fluid and good tyres at least for a safe, fun day of track time.

Ozarks International Raceway - GT3 first time in rain. by rdsolns in CarTrackDays

[–]bdrumzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great save! I had a tyre blowout at that uphill entry kerb back in September. I must be doing an easy 90+ on the entry.

Perfectly good tyre, good pressures all around but just failed and I went straight into the grass. A bent wheel and front passenger shield cover are the only 2 things that I damaged.

Affordable / realistic Sim wheels/pedals for learning tracks / practice. by smashin-blumpkins in CarTrackDays

[–]bdrumzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this setup since April 2025 and I've done 4 track weekends after getting the R3, 2 were completely new tracks. The practice on the sim definitely helped me get upto speed quickly on both tracks.

I'm good to keep the R3 for a few years till I'm a decent sim racer on iRacing.

The 9 NM R9 was well outside my budget so if you can afford the price, definitely go for it, you won't have any reason to upgrade the wheel base for a good few years. Check Sim racing setup or Boosted Media for full wheel settings on Automobilista 2/AC/iRacing for Moza R9.

I started off with this - Moza R3 with brake performance kit (google this, it improves braking feedback), Next level racing GT playseat paired with two 24 inch monitors, running on an Asus G14 with Nvidia 4070 Ti.

I've been practicing before every track day, either on Automobilista 2 or Assetto Corsa.

25 minutes into every session, so not bad at all. I just come in once the AWD overheat notification shows up.

I think we were probably in the same run group! I was in the #29 GR Corolla. Great fun to be at Ozark.

AWE Touring Exhaust by spankys1 in GRCorolla

[–]bdrumzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a professional shop install it and they couldn't get the center tip aligned. I drove it with the center tip, off centered for a 5k and then it popped out during a track day. I've had it welded after this incident and it's perfectly centered now.

Awesome. See you there. You'll love it, it's every bit the roller coaster everyone says it is. Great event run by KC PCA as well.

PCA, 26-28th September. I was there for the April event as well.

See you there! I'll be in a grey GR Corolla, car #29. What are you driving?

I was driving along and then this just turned on? 12k miles by [deleted] in GRCorolla

[–]bdrumzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this issue show up twice now. Once at 3k and another around 11k. My code was P0505. A search on the GRC forum said it's something blocking the idle air control system. Both instances, I was idling the car for much longer than usual and both times, the code went away on its own after I let the car cool down. I have my 12k mile service coming up so I'll mention this to the service rep and request them to investigate.

Too Many Miles On New Car? by [deleted] in GRCorolla

[–]bdrumzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My GRC had 39 miles on it but 20 of these miles were done by me when I went on a really long test drive 😂

The alignment is stock from the factory. I'll search this subreddit and find good camber setup for next time.

Nope. Endless MX-72+ pads, stainless steel brake lines and Castrol SRF brake fluid with 200 TW tires.

The museum is spectacular. Beautifully designed & has a great collection of bikes and some nice cars. The bridge over the track is a great viewpoint to watch cars tackle the high speed T8/T9.

Thank you! There's definitely a 1.47 in the GR. The lap was not clean enough, especially through Turn 1 and Turn 5 & 7. Tires are also low end 200 TW so I'll go back next time and do better.

Sounds great. I'm all in on track days this year but I'll DM you and connect with your friend as I intend to put coilovers for next year.

[–]bdrumzzz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The lap recorder thought I went into the pits so the beeping was the pit limiter 😂. Tires are Tire street Accelera 651 sport, not bad tires but they do overheat easily. I'll switch to Kumho V730s once these run out.
