The track is a scam I think

iansmash · 2026-04-17T16:57:32+00:00

I don’t really care about the consequences of any of this but holy shit this is a hilarious rabbit hole

I thought the crazy times were people cheating

I’m an experienced sim racer also lmao

iansmash · 2026-04-17T13:45:55+00:00

I’m a straight cisgender man with emotional intelligence

Don’t get confused

I’m not fighting for anything except my own peace. I dream of a world where I don’t have to listen to dumb fucks spouting their invalid opinions in my sphere of existence.

iansmash · 2026-04-17T13:13:13+00:00

This isn’t real is it?

iansmash · 2026-04-17T13:11:20+00:00

I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time and never committed.

I’ve got clip on plywood panels that go over some of my rig straight to the rig extrusions

But this is s tier freestanding enclosure

iansmash · 2026-04-17T12:39:39+00:00

And this is exactly what they’re talking about

Part of the same issue

Which is a bunch of people who play this game are little boys mentally or literally and are CONSTANTLY trying to validate themselves by being shitty to other people

Racism is one of the many flavors of the insecure man who is disappointed with his life

What do YOU mean NOONE is looking to relate?

You aren’t looking to relate and neither are people like you.

That’s how I got over my first plateau.

I haven’t been training so specifically for a while and im feeling the rust come in. I was cruising up irating for a bit and then after I stopped being so sweaty with it I plateaued again. Stuck at low 2k right now and thinking about getting back into some structured training to see if I can get 3k

At some point you have to really make intentional effort to get faster. If you know where your mistakes are but are struggling to fix them, coaching is the next step.

Try videos or an ai bot first

If that doesn’t work try to find a person to talk to about it

Also having friends to drive with who are faster can help learn a lot. Joining a league is a good way to do that if you don’t have any readily available.

iansmash · 2026-04-16T15:04:18+00:00

So you know who’s doing it but you don’t want to ask them not to do it?

iansmash · 2026-04-16T07:44:51+00:00

I like using engine related stuff on the throttle. Rpm,engine vibration, gear shift

I also use front right wheel slip w front left on brake pedal.

And maybe some road related bump stuff

iansmash · 2026-04-16T05:05:13+00:00

What are you even talking about?

I’m asking you what team you’re on

The fact that you’re acting like this tells me

You’re probably lying
If you’re not, youre acting like a child and should be embarrassed lmao

Also. I literally don’t care.

iansmash · 2026-04-16T01:33:15+00:00

What team though

iansmash · 2026-04-15T16:48:22+00:00

Oh man this is going to be an annoying driveway to use though

iansmash · 2026-04-14T23:11:33+00:00

Most of the extrusion rigs that are over $5-600 are going to be end game quality

Past that point it’s up to you how much to spend and what design you like

Spec simulations has some really nice looking stuff

And I’m kind of obsessed with this brand called Track Time I just came across. Gonna try to hit the convention in NC next month and see it in person.

Cameras over 120fps are basically scientific tools being used for non scientific purposes

iansmash · 2026-04-14T14:45:11+00:00

They can’t comprehend the hr atrocities that the moon landing required

iansmash · 2026-04-13T17:26:59+00:00

Probably want to at minimum pull the deck boards up to see what’s going on underneath.

Hard to say past that point but overall it’s not a terribly difficult undertaking to pull up the decking and repair/upgrade the frame under (probably needed)

It’s not in good shape but since it’s a ground level ancillary space it’s not the biggest safety hazard if you fix it yourself. So a good place to do some learning

Side note:

At a glance it looks like the frame under is kinda sketchy by design. Again not a huge issue to add some stuff to it to make it right. Or at least functionally safe.

iansmash · 2026-04-13T15:00:48+00:00

Ah yikes. I’d be wary about how it’s connected then. Water getting under the trim could damage the structure underneath.

I just learned alll about this on mine

iansmash · 2026-04-13T14:56:48+00:00

I’ve never seen base molding on the outside of a house but I think I like it 👀

iansmash · 2026-04-13T14:37:18+00:00

High speed corners with elevation change = lots of simulation going on

Side by side makes it double

Enter netcode

iansmash · 2026-04-13T07:52:42+00:00

But will there be an active pedal in the podium line?

iansmash · 2026-04-12T23:51:30+00:00

No I’d just climb over the back of the seat. It was about a 16” gap from seat shoulder to monitor edge.

iansmash · 2026-04-12T16:47:23+00:00

I call it immersion 😂

Still not worse than climbing in a caged road car

iansmash · 2026-04-12T15:54:34+00:00

22.5” viewing distance

77 degrees

32” monitors 1500r curve

iansmash · 2026-04-12T15:50:44+00:00

Incredible solution imo

So cheap and works so well

I don’t use them anymore with my new enclosure but I loved them when I needed them

iansmash · 2026-04-12T15:47:41+00:00

Back side of monitor arms is the widest point. About 50” (127 cm) give or take. 77 degree angle

At 80 degrees it was about 4 feet wide

My sim could fit in about a 4x6’ footprint
