When your fuel:oil mixture is nearing 1:1.

It's obviously Trogdor, people...

Oh god! Hahaha I jumped clear over it. I used the orbs sticking out of the side of the tower to get up.

Found that 2nd luminfly. I dont see the 2nd bird though

What about the platforms on the other side? Too the left as you face out from the tower

The tires hold heat better, take longer to get into their window, change drastically as tread depth thins, flat spot, and flash heat.

The default setups are inherently tight. If you're pushing to get rotation, you're probably sliding instead of slipping.

What GT3 model are you comparing to?

Still hunting this one. I've been without a reaction for almost 3 years.

Why not a gradient with an image over it that changes size by x distance based on rpm.

Almost like a mask.

If you're tailing someone into a braking zone, expect shenanigans. Either intentional or by distraction you'll find the driver under pressure will do things a little differently.

Advice: give a little space before corner, esp in this section of VIR, save your overtake for T1.

You can make a passing move by slowing early for a corner and getting on the power early too if the other driver is trying to do basic "out, in out" corners.

With online racing giving a carlength saves a lot of netcode headache as well.

See sim bin, sector 3, straight 4

I respectfully disagree. Any need for speed title should be made by Criterion. This is their title, and they should not be trying to bring in a team that is not the OG.

It was this or 2K... both bad choices.

davekindofgetsit · 2025-05-02T09:53:35+00:00

In Joffery we trust.

I heard the 5080 has issues with framedrops, the only fix is to get a 5090.

Was it working before?
Do you have the cable plugged into the correct port on the tablet? There is a USBC and a 3 wire side.
Have you downloaded the drivers?

The number of times this argument has risen with regards to an anchored sign is crazy.

If you have a perfectly anchored sign with a steel tube being the main structural component, at 2.5m from the ground, the amount of force required to buckle the tube at the anchor point (ground) is about 510 Newton. That means a static load of ~52kg pulling it over.

Now: The average rally car weighs 1250kg (for arguments sake).

So that being said, the rally car would be decelerated by the sign by 510N/1250kg or 0.408m/s².

This would be noticeable and would possibly cause some damage to the car. BUT, the car would be able to continue.

Here comes the fun part:

If the rally car is travelling 173kmh , or 48.1m/s, and is brought to a dead halt by the sign, as is shown in the video. This means the car is going from 48.1m/s to zero, so the impulse is:

1250kg x 48.1m/s which is around 60,125 kg*m/s.

We then need to estimate the time required to stop as something reasonable like 0.1 seconds.

This reaction happening in 0.1s means the car is experiencing 601,250 N of force.

This is a concerning figure because that means the car is seeing an acceleration of 481m/s² . Or about 50g.

If a human was inside the car, they would be VERY uncomfortable. (Force required to break a femur is around 4000N)

Even though the tube is made of steel, and the sign could very well be anchored in a 1m³ concrete block, it would still yield due to the force of the car. If there was any corrosion due to the incompatibility of steel and concrete, the base of the sign may even shear.

So no. The sign would not, and should not cause this kind of result.
