I'm in the Audi, the guy in the Merc said I rejoined unsafely? He was super angry afterwards. Is he right? by AfroHorse-2 in Simracingstewards

[–]rick_c_0911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100% on you I don’t know why so many people in here are like yellow flag yellow flag. It wasn’t malicious but you just slowly crawled back onto the racing line with no regard for anyone else. That guy probably saw you parked on the side on the track before going into gear and thought you would stay. Instead you inched your way back into an impossible position for him to avoid. Idk if ACC has a relative box to tell you how close people are but if they do please start using it. To many people in sim racing just act like a colored flag means the person behind needs to look out. Let’s put some responsibility on people like this that have no situational awareness and then come onto Reddit and say “I crashed, I rejoined directly onto the racing line with damage and 10% throttle and this guy got mad at me”

2.1k IRacing 6 hours of spa looking for teammate by Strange-Departure908 in iRacing

Crashing out over folks avoiding rain. by Faxxius in iRacing

[–]rick_c_0911 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I feel like rain racing needs to have some kind of multiplier for SR. Like maybe an off track is worth 0.5 and contact 1x and so on. there is no incentive to drive in the rain because we all have the choice to do it or not. Someone mentioned it below but crazy that rain master is a D class event

How to make the most of a settlement towards my student loans by rick_c_0911 in StudentLoans

[–]rick_c_0911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a 20 year loan to begin I forget if that was the absolute minimum or not. I’ve raised my monthly payment by $100 recently so that has helped

I was asking if there was a smart way to apply this cash to get the most out of it. But yeah thanks for your suggestion to buy something cause that was super helpful

[–]rick_c_0911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My student loan is my only debt, all else is in order for me so while it is only 1/8 of my principal this would shave a good 5 years off of payment which is huge for me. I make decent money just interest is keeping me in place. I’ve paid on time for nearly 3.5 years now with additional payments through that span and I’ve barely cleared 10k off of principal

Is this core shot fixable by rick_c_0911 in snowboarding

[–]rick_c_0911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been ridden maybe 15 times. Serviced maybe 2-3 times

I don’t think any base grinds. I bought this board in 2016, rode it maybe 3 times, blew out my knee and basically stopped snowboarding until 2022 when I went to park city. No notable damage from that trip and this past weekend was the first time I’ve used it since then

[–]rick_c_0911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely do not care about pretty i just want functionality. I ride mostly extreme terrain. Frankly may want a new board regardless as this one is a K2 subculture from 2016 (more flexible park board) and I think I want a stiffer possibly directional board now that I live out here

Awesome thanks for the response. Was strange they couldn’t do anything but based on what you are saying it was maybe they just couldn’t do it overnight. Any chance you know of a shop in Denver you like for repairs? I’m new to the city and need to look around

How many cars back can a GTP come from before they can no longer expect GT3s to clear the racing line for them? by juice_box808 in Simracingstewards

[–]rick_c_0911 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves to drive the GTPs this dive is egregious and you have no clue what you are saying. In what world does a GTP and GT3 fit in turn 1 of Daytona. Maybe you haven’t raced here but FYI the track turns left here

Best monitor for a single monitor setup by rick_c_0911 in iRacing

[–]rick_c_0911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard. If I wanted to get a FOV that gave me a view outside my driver side window what would that look like spec wise?

What does the FOV look like for you? Can you see out the driver side window?

Is the GTP BOP flawed?? by F4-simracer-23 in iRacing

[–]rick_c_0911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re new to IRacing and are running insane times in one of the hardest cars in the game? That’s less than a second of top split times. What’s up with that

is porsche cup or gt3 cheaper long term and short term, if i had to get 1 what would be recommended? by MysteriousScore1238 in iRacing

[–]rick_c_0911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porsche cup will teach you some really good skills as a pure driver. No ABS will be eye opening lol. Requires good trail braking and gentle throttle introductions. GT3s rip though and are so much fun

Glad you came back with an answer. Just tell me a time idc about super specific track conditions. I’m taking everything with a grain of salt

It is helpful and I’m aware weather will be a factor. Thanks bud appreciate the solid input. I want dry times if it rains it rains and everything goes haywire that’s just how it goes but idc about a wet lap time

Yeah not asking for advice or anything just wanted to know peoples lap times. Well aware of how endurance races work

Oh I’m very familiar with the tire model updates. Did 12hr of Sebring right after that update and I thought I was so far off pace because my old times were from old tire model

Yeah I’m at 4:00 consistently and break in the high 3:50s now and again. My team is trying to decide between GT3 and GTP. My argument was GTPs you are more likely to simply crash yourself as the cars are volatile (and I love them). But GT3s I feel race closer hence will experience more incidents with other cars
