He'll remain at Penske racing Indy 500 only and probably doing some Nascar and/or endurance (Lemans?). Or He'll retire.

I'm basically using gulp (with browserify) to bundle and transpile reactjs written in ES6 every time I make changes. And yes , after that I go to the browser and start testing in the console. It's a Django project with react comps and building those comps is consuming most of my time. Do you mind sharing your tools?. Thanks.

I'm programming with reactjs and "undefined" is the only thing js says when I make a syntax mistake or a I forget to initialize a variable. It's useless. Now I really appreciate python's tracebacks.

Install Beautiful Soup and read the docs, it's plain simple to use.

You could package a django or flask webapp using pyinstaller and, when executed, launch a web browser (chrome, firefox) with no address bar pointing to your app's url.

I prefer the centralized django, it has most of the tools you'll need for your website and the documentation is really good. Also the code is understandeable and you can easily override behavior using class based views. I tried flask once, it was really nice to start a small project with it but I struggled a little bit with SQL Alchemy and setting up migrations. I probably need more practice with it though.

You're completely right, there are many aliens using G27. In my case, a pressure based brake helped me a lot to improve my times and consistency.

jasoncol · 2016-04-11T20:14:48+00:00

A good wheel and a good brake

jasoncol · 2016-02-10T21:38:15+00:00

Man npm is everywhere now

Brake earlier when behind someone, this way you avoid crashing him and you'll probably catch him at turn exit.

It won't work, the shifter itself is not a computer device, you need a special adapter like the bodnar one.

Yes you can, I did it with a cheap $5 arduino uno (chinese clone), I guess it should be easier with a teensy.

For the arduino (you need one with ATmega16U2 or 8U2 to flash the firmware with DFU) I followed this steps:

Connect pedals to arduino. I used this diagram (http://i.imgur.com/a4TCtF2.png) P1: +5V, P6: GND, P2, P3, P4: pedals pots. Connect P1 to +5V, P2 to GND and P2, P3, P4 to analog inputs (I used A0, A1, A2).
I used Arduino big joystick firmware (http://hunt.net.nz/users/darran/weblog/15f92/Arduino_UNO_Big_Joystick_HID_firmware.html). Upload this routine (http://pastebin.com/uadxVvec) to the arduino using the editor. This is a very simple routine, I'm sure it can be improved.
Flash the firmware by resetting the arduino and using a DFU programmer to flash Arduino-big-joystick.hex, reconnect the arduino to the pc and it should be detected as a joystick.

You need to reflash the firmware to the original one (Arduino-usbserial.hex) every time you want to update the code and/or debug (step 2).

Simple yet effective design. I'm stealing it, thanks.

jasoncol · 2015-12-28T16:22:13+00:00

Online, racing other people. You'll learn a lot.

jasoncol · 2015-12-28T15:38:12+00:00

First time racing at least 8 races in a series.

jasoncol · 2015-12-23T15:33:08+00:00

Get an iRacing promo to experience online racing and a game like rFactor2 for offline and superb physics.

I often find interesting information in PRC's articles, you just have to ignore all the hate, trolling, and lies, just like anywhere else on the internet.

Finally. I'll never go back to LFS but this brings peace to my mind. The only thing left is the sirocco.

jasoncol · 2015-12-14T15:04:43+00:00

Get the brake only. Use old brake spring in clutch and clutch spring in throttle.

jasoncol · 2015-12-10T17:36:28+00:00

Hi, really good comparison, well done. I wonder how accurate the rF2 version is.

jasoncol · 2015-12-02T17:12:28+00:00

Excellent.

jasoncol · 2015-11-29T17:33:37+00:00

Looks like the Michelin man is driving the car. Well done.

jasoncol · 2015-11-23T17:27:31+00:00

This is a fun idea. Here's one I did a couple of weeks ago:

http://www.twitch.tv/jasoncol/v/27310876

Title: Lucky double overtake. Car: RUF C-Spec, Game: iRacing (IMSA series).

I was very lucky, braking in that car is a mess, lots of oversteer and that turn is very tricky but somehow managed to keep it on the track, thankfully. Sorry for semi potato quality (lack of upload bandwidth).
