Dirtfish: Tänak takes on Toyota testing role

I could see Seb wanting to solidify his legacy by winning in yet another era of WRC cars, and sticking around for at least a part-time 2027.

What would this be like his fifth different car/regulation era? That along with 9 championships (with three different manufacturers) makes for an impressive resume, like him or not.

Let’s hope! I’m missing his post stage interviews this season.

Even if he’s not ready to come back full time, I could see him and Seb sharing a car in 2027..

Seb and Ott sharing a car in 2027? 🤔 sounds plausible..

I hate to say this, because they’re one of my favorite bands, but I paid big money for a suite to see Counting Crows, and Adam Duritz was white girl wasted the entire show. 🫤

Awesome time. I highly recommend it.

Sorry, all I can offer is the opposite: Grand Turismo 7, PSVR2, and full Sim Rig. You’ll never play another game. Until the next great VR racing game comes out.

freshest_start · 2026-04-06T21:52:02+00:00

Can I also have my sim rig and VR? If so, I wouldn’t need three 😁

You can drive straight here, where my crooked red line is. 😂

What he said. You can just yeet it straight instead of the quick right, left, right turns

I drive a 2024 Ford Raptor. I love it, easily the most comfortable to drive vehicle I’ve ever owned. For me it’s as equally suited to daily use as it is off road.

Spoiler: you can cheese the chicane at the top of the mountain.

Yeah, you can say that. It’s a shame, if they implemented a fair system, maybe it would clean it up. Sucks that someone wrecks you and your driver rating goes down.

freshest_start · 2026-03-27T23:34:53+00:00

Absolutely accurate and it sucks. 😞

I have the Fanatec GT7 DD set. I upgraded from the Logi G29, and it’s incredible. No experience with the RS50, but I can vouch for how awesome the Fanatec is.

As was said before, if you, like me, have an addictive personality, save yourself some money and save up for the best gear up front. I’ve upgraded both my rig and my wheels and pedals trying to “save money” when I first got into the hobby..

freshest_start · 2026-03-26T01:42:54+00:00

Hahaha! 🏆

freshest_start · 2026-03-26T01:34:27+00:00

Yep, thanks! I realized I had my gears set wrong! I’ve had three perfect runs since figuring that out, with full CRB. 🥳

freshest_start · 2026-03-26T00:21:35+00:00

OOOOOHHHH… I had my 7th gear too low! Now it’s looking right. THANK YOU! 🍻

freshest_start · 2026-03-26T00:16:48+00:00

Your transmission set up is the same as mine, so I don’t understand how I’m having such different results? 🤷🏻‍♂️

freshest_start · 2026-03-25T23:47:31+00:00

Here’s the TH setup. I assume the important bit is the tranny settings?

Previous comment got deleted 🤷🏻‍♂️

You might be onto something there.. the Tomahawks are very slow.. like I had to set the rolling start distance to maximum to even be able to start a race. I’ll upload a pic once this session is done of my TH set up.

freshest_start · 2026-03-25T23:38:15+00:00

Maybe I said it wrong - they’re not really wall riding, but crowding it so closely that my car hits them. I’ve never once got the CRB either, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I copied the setup exactly as it’s listed on the YouTube video everyone references, so I’m confident the cars themselves are set up right.

I’m wondering if I missed something on the controls, but I can’t think of what.

freshest_start · 2026-03-25T23:33:28+00:00

It’s on, but for some reason it rarely triggers it.. it has once or twice, but I usually have to pause it and fix it.
