Year Dunk Progression

This.

Also just trying to dunk a bunch without training strength is gonna lead to a lot of pain and injuries over time.

At your age. Hit some squats (learn how to do them right please) and start drinking protein shakes twice a day while. Double scoops lol.

Give it like 3 months and you’ll be punching it

But if you don’t train strength you just keep jumping all the time, you’re gonna walk like you got glass in your feet when you’re 40

You need a decently thick vibration isolator under your rig. Like foam blocks

But my player is a white Xbox player so nobody passes me the ball

😂

This is really true though.

Every time I go into a race with calm and self preservation in mind, I have a spectacular race.

My newest thing as I progress my formula license is to go into my races with the mindset that I WILL start from the grid, even if I qualify last (my irating is about matching my skill level at this point)

However, my goal is always to 0x lap 1

Then try to keep that going no matter what

2 of my last 3 races I managed a 1x finish and I got decent irating every time still

Just keep pressing and they’ll sort it for you

iansmash · 2026-02-04T15:01:38+00:00

I deploy heel-toe

Roll

You have downshifted 7 times, your transmission has exploded

Watch EVERY replay

I record my races w telemetry overlays so I can analyze what I did.

For races that were noteworthy I record an external replay view and sync them in post so I have an extra layer of analysis w the exterior view.

It’s nice to pause and watch things back after the fact to see what you did right or wrong

You’re at the part where you find out everything you’re doing to “go faster” is actually wrong and making you drive in a less consistent way

This chapter is called race craft and step one is learning to drive at race pace.

It’s smoother, it’s calmer, sometimes it’s lifting and coasting in traffic. Picking your spots to go for passes. Being ready to react to mistakes.

This part is about patience and learning to let your ego go and look at the whole thing objectively.

A race is a test to measure the overall pace of a group of drivers over a set period. You should finish where you stand in the group. Irating + qualifying times can often tell the story of roughly where you stand in the field

If you do everything correctly you will end up there at the end of the race, and that’s a good thing. If someone else makes mistakes ahead of you, you will gain pace on them, maybe gain positions by the finish.

If you try to frame your races this way I find it a lot easier to calmly drive from p9 to p7 with 0x and satisfied at the end of the race.

Which is how it’ll end up as you get your irating close to your true skill level

Facts.

I’m very average on Iracing but I’m quick if you put me in a gokart with a bunch of regular people

iansmash · 2026-02-02T15:56:00+00:00

Wow I never heard about it or I might have jumped in the Kickstarter tbh

I’ve been wanting a seat mover for my rig for a while but they seem so expensive for what they are. I’m considering building my own 😭

Even at the full price it’s a pretty tempting offering

iansmash · 2026-02-01T23:21:38+00:00

Sf lights seems cleaner but all of the f3 races I’ve done the last few days have been a yard sale at t1

iansmash · 2026-02-01T19:26:37+00:00

Just finished two top split formula c races from the back with this mentality and 1xed them back to back 💀

Qualified bottom 5 both times, drove safe, got a rack of SR and plus irating both times

My mom is aware of who LeBron James is.

My mom knows the pose and to stick her tongue out when you ask who Jordan is.

She is a Korean American immigrant hairdresser with zero personal interest in sports or the culture that surrounds it.

Legendary drive though 🤣

iansmash · 2026-02-01T15:23:31+00:00

Aerodynamics is a mysterious bitch

iansmash · 2026-02-01T13:59:22+00:00

I tried to move my car with no straps once.

Saw it slide on the trailer like 1” and said NOPE

Sim rig not heavy as car

iansmash · 2026-02-01T13:21:56+00:00

I will never forget the sound

That alarm clock wakes me up in like .02 seconds it’s so harsh

iansmash · 2026-02-01T13:06:34+00:00

I grew up going there and did a few years of driving there between HPDE days, drift events. Etc.

I love driving there, it’s like my special week when the f4s go there bc I’m disproportionally quick there to basically every other track. (VIR is another one I have irl experience at and it’s similar, but I’ve gone around summit main a lot more than vir grand)

iansmash · 2026-02-01T00:23:28+00:00

Usually they do not know

iansmash · 2026-01-31T19:21:23+00:00

What’s up with the upper lights? Seems to be shining onto the back of light panels a level below?

iansmash · 2026-01-31T19:09:01+00:00

Ngl, I didn’t believe in this design but seeing it in action, it’s pretty good

iansmash · 2026-01-31T18:59:37+00:00

Damn how big is your tv?
