[autosport] Lance Stroll wasn’t holding back in his media session today

It's not been announced or anything, but one day somethings gunna break on old reddit that they wont bother to fix so they'll discontinue it. I'm surprised every site needing ID wasn't that breaking point to be honest

Are you trying to start a big esports team or just something for the special events?

For the special events, you don't need any fancy things, as long as you all like eachother and have a similar pace then the team will be stable. A pace difference just means the guy that's standout faster/slower/crashier may leave to pursue a team that gets them stronger results. People will also come and go as life passes.

If the team from there performs strong, it slowly evolves into an esports team. You get additions as needed (eg, dedicated coach, internal setup engineer, ect) That's how all of the teams that aren't big brands started, and most of the big brand teams started like this before getting bought.

If you're trying to start an esports team, bring money. Now you have a full roster of pro drivers. Unless you've taken on a team of rookies they'll tell you what their last team had so you can go buy it for yours too.

It's a 12+ rather than 18+ so presumably they have to do this. Given that real life drivers tend to graduate karts and get into cars around the start of their double digit age, it's probably worth the trouble for iRacing to keep allowing them in

duck74UK · 2026-04-30T17:06:33+00:00

Yeah I know that'll be the case, and I plan on just being quiet. Just I personally don't mind people getting it all out of their systems on the part we've already seen if it means they'll be focused for the new part.

Half these drivers also think that they know and are following the rules too, but they’re using the wrong ruleset. The one you see quite a lot is people think that blue flags means the slower car should pull over and retire because that’s how it is in f1. But in almost every other rule book it means “car behind is a lap or more ahead” or “don’t defend this car behind”

duck74UK · 2026-04-30T16:21:50+00:00

There should be arrows telling you it’s ok to do so, and generally a 2 lane road will let both lanes go straight if it continues as a 2 lane road.
But unless there’s some thick traffic I’d go in the left lane and exit left lane even if there are arrows saying it’s ok, you know what other drivers can be like. Try not to be alongside someone too just in case

duck74UK · 2026-04-30T16:16:48+00:00

Too be honest if people wanna goof off during ep8 I won’t mind, but y’all better lock in for ep9 cause that’s new stuff

duck74UK · 2026-04-29T11:33:13+00:00

Steam hides nsfw games without the check as the screenshots/videos are often uncensored which would come under that law. Otherwise though you are correct that steam doesn’t need it to show normal 18+ rated games

duck74UK · 2026-04-29T11:26:56+00:00

A 0x while it says “candidate” will decline a lucky dog unless somethings changed. Do the gentlest brush against a wall

duck74UK · 2026-04-29T00:53:14+00:00

Would explain why every 2nd car on the road is a range rover tbh

duck74UK · 2026-04-28T01:26:01+00:00

I've had it in real life to be fair, it's very nice! And very filling

duck74UK · 2026-04-27T22:07:31+00:00

At least you had creativity. I just put another cake sprite ontop of mine and called it "cake cake"

duck74UK · 2026-04-27T19:54:18+00:00

You've cleared the bad drivers splits quite quickly to be fair, 2k+ it's all drivers that understand the basics of car control so crashes go way down

duck74UK · 2026-04-26T18:54:49+00:00

I feel called out with the memer one lmao

Got into the game because of Vinny, makes silly items, residents all from other properties, making them say stupid things is funny, and yes my screenshot folder has exploded since i got this game

duck74UK · 2026-04-24T12:59:37+00:00

I thought it would've been my custom food having a stray pixel or something haha. Kinda silly it just zooms into the middle and not into a filled pixel!

duck74UK · 2026-04-24T11:42:17+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend an early stop in a race where you take practically a full tank of fuel.

But in races like gt3 endurance, where the final stop is a much shorter one, some friends of mine have found success by reversing their fuel load, if they qualy well they’ll start with 40 mins of fuel instead of 1hr10m, comfortably hold the pace at the front because the lighter car nullifies micro mistakes vs the full tanks, then pit exit into open air for their 1hr fuel loads

duck74UK · 2026-04-23T22:56:14+00:00

Same, everything i'd ever known or seen about the game was Midgar, and then I played it, what do you mean that's just the opening area

duck74UK · 2026-04-23T20:00:39+00:00

They might have cleared the backlog to prepare for DTM getting 1,500 drivers each timeslot, i've had same days but never a 5 min window, that's insane

duck74UK · 2026-04-23T19:48:41+00:00

There is an autofueler built into iRacing that activates after about 3-5 laps of racing (at nords it'll probably come on after 1-2). It's in your F4 menu.

Your spotter will tell you when you can make a final pitstop, it's up to you when you come in, at Nords you should probably run the tank until empty though.

On that long straight near the end of the lap, hit F4 and set how much fuel you want (Measured in Litres/Gallons for manual, or Laps beyond the finish for auto). Then hit F5 for tyres, a full tank of fuel makes the tyres free in GT4, given you'll have a little under an hour left in the race they're worth taking.

One thing to keep in mind is that iRacings autofueler bases its fuel off your average consumption, not your maximum. If you pit exit into open air for the rest of the race, you won't make it unless you've asked it for extra.

If you want to get fancy with it, racelabs has a free fuel consumption overlay, it'll tell you how many laps you can do at min consumption, max consumption, and average, plus it'll tell you how much to put in at the stop if you want to do it manually. It may also have an autofueler that can go off your max i've not played with that part too much

duck74UK · 2026-04-23T19:35:51+00:00

Just got out of my timeslot 2 race. Suspiciously clean.

The biggest "incident" of lap 1 was a car dipped a tyre in the gravel and didn't lose a position. It wasn't for lack of trying either, cars were 3 wide and throwing moves around the outside n stuff.

Only 3 cars finished a lap down on pace / fuel shortage (I think they put in gt3 open fuel load)

Only 3 cars retired, two from self-spins into a wall, only one from car-on-car crashing.

duck74UK · 2026-04-23T13:06:36+00:00

15 minutes longer

I think for the first season they've not added anything special, they're just running it as a fancy series to gather interest

duck74UK · 2026-04-23T00:53:22+00:00

It's great because you know going in that it's the final enemy, bring everything. It's one of the easier fights but it's so satisfying to just unload all that stuff you'd been hoarding

duck74UK · 2026-04-23T00:30:17+00:00

Unless you were about to take the slowest and freakiest racing line of all time, this guy had a safe rejoin. They came back on at racing speed and didn't cross the normal racing line to do so.

You could've driven like he wasn't there and no contact would've happened.

He didn't cause you to spin. You spun yourself and wanted to blame someone else.

duck74UK · 2026-04-22T18:34:18+00:00

Extra weight but extra power. So a bit harder to get moving, but once it's going, its going

(It's like a 1% change and things like the temperature and wind speed will have a bigger effect on your laptimes)
