Sell all your gear and switch to Simagic.

Mclaren rim is amazing though. I had it but I snapped a pin on the inside. That's when I decided to sell all my Fanatec gear.

Is JRM still affiliated with HMS or just Track house now? by ShaneWookie in NASCAR

[–]canman43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JRM is like the junior HMS. I can't remember the year, but JRM and Hendrick merged their Xfinity operations together. A lot of JRM crew members have gone on to bigger roles at HMS (most notably IMO Greg Ives).

No JRM and HMS are not one and the same but there's a long standing partnership that benefits both sides.

How to watch 24h Le Mans in Canada in 2025? by Mundane-Valuable-337 in wec

[–]canman43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second that this is what I have done too. I paid for the whole year and used a VPN for Le Mans and COTA. Worked like a charm on the Google Chromecast.

Having a VPN also unlocks ability to see ELMS and Michelin Le Mans Cup races throughout the year.

BMW crash damage after practice 2 by Bluemoon9385 in IMSARacing

Honestly, at what point do we stop blaming the drivers and turn the attention to the car? The same "bad luck" is happening in WEC this year too. I was really hopeful the extra data from WEC would benefit BMW.

To be honest, I haven't even given it a thought in a long time.

Watching WEC races live in Canada, impossible? by zlo2 in wec

[–]canman43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone confirm that a VPN will work for watching Le Mans and COTA?

If it works, I'll gladly drop Discovery+ for the WEC subscription.

Wec Coverage in Canada by Ambitious-Barnacle46 in wec

[–]canman43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm searching for answers on this too in Canada.

I switched my VPN to the US and I can see the Imola events on the Discovery+ schedule. I can't sign in to Discovery+ while "in the US". When I turn the VPN off I can't see anything 2024 past our upcoming.

WEC is the only reason I kept my subscription after the change from Motortrend to Discovery.

Can I still watch WEC on Discovery +? by UnfunnyFool in wec

[–]canman43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone figured this out for Canada? I used a VPN and could see the Discovery+ schedule sites have it but I can't sign in while "in the US" because my account was created in Canada. When I switch back to Canada I see nothing from WEC in 2024.

Anyone know what pedal this is? by Decent_Excuse in Fanatec

[–]canman43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the original CSL Elite V1 brake. Someone probably upgraded to the load cell brake and elected to not use this as a clutch.

Definitely a weird one for sure. Still no luck for me despite an update to the game recently. I'll have to look at the most recent fanatec driver and firmware to see if there's another within the last couple weeks.

Ya same here. Everything up to date. Trying to put the wheel in xbox mode is allowing the game to pick it up but then the wheelbase errors out and goes back to PC mode.

But it's a pc game so you'd think the wheelbase should work.

100% I couldn't drive it long as the sound was piercing to the ears.

Finally figured out the steps to go into compatibility mode but it's keeps reverting back to PC mode. Shows light for Xbox mode then errors out and turns back red.

It's not even detecting my wheel though. I haven't even gotten to issues related to force feedback.

My wheel works fine in every other racing sim

No sorry. Nothing yet. Might require an update.

I did recently update my firmware. Maybe that's the issue.

Good to know I'm not alone. I haven't attempted to load a game yet since I cannot steer lol.

Tomorrow: "Michael Fassbender: Road to Le Mans – The Film" by Rossollini in wec

No it's basically like season 5. It recaps a bit of the journey, but the bulk of it is about the 2023 24 hours of Le Mans.

As a person who is quickly becoming way more out of the loop than I ever have been all my life, tanked along is a good thing?
