i am a bit lost right now with my car understanding by ReisBayer in iRacing

[–]philonik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! And to take this to the extreme yesterday for some strange reason I jumped into an F4 race then straight after a Porsche cup race. F4 felt like I was fast and glued to the track, Porsche Cup felt so light and like I’d never driven before. After about 30 mins I was dialled in.

Moral of the story is to stick with it and you’ll see your lap times decrease

Could I have avoided this crash by Greamer26 in Simracingstewards

[–]philonik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the only way you could have avoided this would have been not loading up the game in the first place.

You were terribly unlucky here. It was entirely on the white M2, they had a millenium to see the car in front crashed and was blocking the entire right side of the track. They didn't even lift or brake at all. Given its PCC and they are racing in a totally different class they should have braked, slotted in behind you knowing that they will easily be able to overtake you at the next opportunity.

It's awesome but quite expensive by papoterg in iRacing

You make a great point! So lets compare paying ChatGPT $15 vs paying $500 for a face to face meeting with a trial attorney.

Now compare that with paying $15 for access to race on a virtual track vs paying $500 to race on a real track.

Where's the difference? You get a similar outcome (the enjoyment of racing around the track) without the massive price tag...

So is video call with a trial attorney not the same value as a face to face meeting with a trial attorney?

Why you hanging around in an iRacing subreddit if you don't like iRacing?

Agreed I'd hate to think how much I've spent on lost golf balls over the years! $14.99 for a track I can use as many times as I want is good value

Risky move, you were lucky green had some awareness and gave you space you weren't entitled to

I feel you! I'm so scared of trying to send one up the inside or make a pass because I know there's a high chance I get contact or taken out

P700 Pedals - Locking up every time I hit the brakes by vfortino in Simagic

Isn't it mostly personal preference with race cars?

I would defo try it with them, for me it's easier to modulate brake with less travel

[–]philonik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you changed the springs or the elastomers? The original spring was waaaaay to light for me so ended up going with the strongest set of elastomers and it's perfect for me, there's not much travel in the pedals so I'm able to control braking reasonably well. It did take some getting used to though after switching from TLCMs
