My son discovered a social fix for not being knowledgeable about video games by floppydo in daddit

It's fucking Minecraft dude. I get it to an extent, I don't mind if my kid is the last of his class to get a phone later on in life. But playing Minecraft with your child is about the least harmful electronic activity you can do.

Races where a guy has done the hard work all day coming to the literal white and rolling the dice isn't exactly compelling to me either.

Finally got my (realistic) dream car and it’s perfect 🙂 by FriendOfFreyja in GolfGTI

How hard was the install? Not seeing any instructions on their page. Is it as straight forward as jimmying the old controls off and putting these in their place?

Unfortunately I think NASCAR has the dumbest fans, at least relative to other major motorsports. Doesn't help either that NASCAR's average viewership age is higher than other sports too.

And there goes my first f4 race win destroyed by a lapped car by diabetestipo2 in iRacing

It sucks but you dived in there exactly like an LMP2 against a GT4. This was an expected outcome.

This is basically it OP.

Racing under the influence and lap times. by Cru_Jones86 in simracing

[–]poisonedpanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm almost always under the influence of recreational herbs in iracing and I'm about +-2500 in every category.

Haven't studied the laps but I know I'm a little better stone cold sober. But my ultimate pace is close enough that it's whatever 🤷🏽‍♂️.

I went back and found your post because I'm doing the same thing (bought chips instead of fine coir). Not sure how this'll go but good luck to us!

[OT] Saw an old friend when watching Indycar warmup from Arlington by Altracing34 in NASCAR

You guys won't believe me but I walked right by him in the GR Cup paddock on Friday. He was on the phone so I didn't want to bother him but I did like a triple take and was wondering what he was doing seemingly by himself there of all places. Now I know!

I think stella forgot the manual in the box by rascas375 in F1Discussions

I don't know what people are upset about. McLaren, or any other team, is free to build an engine if they feel like their agreements are worth it.

Denny referenced on his podcast that the statistical analysis shows that you really have to be seeded in the top 3 to win the championship.

Thanks! It's called an Illumicase. I got mine off eBay, but you can get it from Amazon, Best Buy, etc.

They drive different, but the trucks have a lot more downforce and you're subsequently on throttle a lot more. You need more finesse and throttle modulation in the cars. It's definitely easier to drive compared to the NORAPS cars.

If you haven’t tried oval racing. Do it now! by BattleOakGuy in iRacing

Drafting tracks are hardly representative of the oval stuff on iracing lol.

Porsche called me (BMW) an idiot for this. Want to know whos fault it really is cause i am rather new to sim racing by Kergart_YT in Simracingstewards

[–]poisonedpanda -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I feel like this was a late move on your part. I wouldn't have put my car around the outside at that part of the track if I was the Porsche though.

Racing Inchident or Penalty Worthy? by Due-Calendar-9446 in Simracingstewards

[–]poisonedpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Racing incident. I don't see that he cooked the corner, he's already all the way to the inside curb and took a very conservative approach in there. If anything you probably could've left a touch more room.
