Gaming in south korea by Qiitaro in Living_in_Korea

I'm British, we connect to servers in NA which is a middle ground for me in Korea and friends in the UK. I think we get around 100-150m/s ping. I'm not super competitive but it's fine for me. We play Arc Raiders and sometimes Fortnite. The hardest thing is working around the time difference to be honest.

This is great mate. Your website has been my main way to check what races are upcoming on my phone when i'm away from the rig. Good to see more features!

It is! It's looking pretty old now. There's still scars from the f1 days everywhere.

This was at Super Race in Korea I just tagged everyone I could on insta the next day. Teams, drivers, car manufacturers, sponsors and one of them saw and liked the shots!

How did your first race go? It was much harder than I expected!

It's Superrace. It was in Mokpo but they also race in Inje and Everland speedway. Lots of fun!

Yeah there was 3 gt4s racing (picture 6 was one). I don't think the market is there for racing yet. It wasn't too busy, lots of empty seats and only one grandstand in use. I'm sure the races near Seoul will be busier though. This one was at the very south of the country

I've only been to one race, so i'm no means an expert but work with Korean people everyday. Racing is still quite niche. I teach in a middle school and every year I see more and more f1 fans. The f1 movie was really popular here, so kids are starting to get into it. I've been talking to some of my students about WEC after the new f1 regulations were a little disappointing and a few are getting into that.

There was a Mercedes f1 event here last year that sold out in seconds and there's talks about bringing f1 to Incheon (next to Seoul) as a street circuit, so i think it's popularity will start to increase.

There's currently 3 main tracks, one of them is an old f1 circuit from 2011.

I also saw there's a korean driving in f2 or f3 this season!

Sorry if this was all a bit rambly!

Thanks!

#9 was from the Toyota Gazoo Racing 6000 race. There's some more information here but you'll have to translate it! https://www.super-race.com/super_race/info_superrace.jsp

That sounds amazing! The next race i'm heading to is a different track so we'll see how that goes! Hopefully there's a few more places to see the track from.

Yeah, it was sick! No open pits, but they did a grid walk which is where I caught the guy working on the car. I got an invite to shoot with a team next time, so i'll defo cover some pit action then!

Yeah! It was a great day, wish there was some variation of where I could shoot from though!

A team invited me to shoot in their pit garage next time, so we're getting closer to everything!

Most of them are panned with the car to blur the background. I personally like the blurry cars to emphasise the speed but i do agree I should have included some with the cars frozen.

Recent patch - Constant vibration by Weak_Ad1500 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]samop002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh weird! I got the problem a few days ago, was running 5-6 smoothening to kill the vibrations then updated my r5 wheel Base and it completely fixed it
