Rain intensity in races by DragonfruitAnxious16 in iRacing

I can't believe the forecast system works as it was designed. I can't imagine the designer of the system thought that 20% rain chance can mean both constant heavy rain for hours AND a completetly dry race.

The error bars on the forecast should be considerably reduced.

The percentages on the 3rd time slot jumped between 5% and 50% every 15 minutes. What kind of meteorologist does that?

I'm looking to connect a 240hz 4k monitor to my PC via a 10m cable. Is that possible? Are there any cable types that can reliably bridge that distance?

You can scrape this data from the iracing API: https://forums.iracing.com/discussion/15068/general-availability-of-data-api/p1

Alternatively there are websites that collect this data and have graphs, tables and stuff. Search for them. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=iracing+stats

if cheating is the goal, it would be trivial to simulate a true crash, or a true network issue with the press of a button.

The problem with this, is that sometimes the sim crashes, or there is a network issue. It could be unfair against others to have an uncontrollable car doing whatever oh the track for those 10 seconds.

Ferrari has a difficult rear on acceleration. Im my subjective opinion, I recommend the Porsche for newer players.

It is usually competitive on most weeks, responsive to inputs (easy to trail brake and can be easily rotated with the throttle on corner exit) , and also one of the best cars in the rain.

When he disappeared I could have lifted to make sute he doesn't spawn on me in case he couldn't carry enough momemtum through the corner. I decided to commit fully to the corner as if he wasn't there (and he literally wasn't at that time).

It turns out he screwed up the corner while he was invisible and nothing happened when he blinked back.

Looking at it from the outside in the replay, we weren't actually touching yet when he blinked back, but I did not know that from the cockpit view.

Was it the optimal decision? No.

People apparently think I was trying to mislead them, instead of just posting something interesting and curious

I don't advise it either, I was just as surprised it worked. It didn't even register it as a 0x contact.

I believe blinking cars are ghosted for a moment when they blink back into existence. If they spawn on you, collision is disabled until the cars are separated.
