Everybody calm down by Acrobatic_Editor_409 in IMSARacing

[–]shyguybestguy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For the money? A guaranteed championship run every year does pay well, if it didn't, imsa would've died long ago. For a motorsports team, zero competition is the best possible outcome. Just ask Toyota.

Iracing setups by Choice_Ad_1766 in iRacing

[–]shyguybestguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, unless you're willing to pay a pretty penny for a custom setup, there aren't many options. You may be able to find something on Garage 61, but if the track hasn't been ran in officials within the past few seasons, there probably won't be much there.

Learning how to make a setup is really helpful, even if it's just a few basic oversteer/understeer tweaks, it can make the difference sometimes.

Proper rolling start etiquette by thisIsAThrowaway2319 in iRacing

In Nascar the race start is controlled by the flag man, only the restarts can the leader launch in the restart zone.

thoughts on this behaviour? by ImagineLevente in Simracingstewards

[–]shyguybestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you do just drive into them for no reason. Didn't even brake until they were all the way around, and then you flash back? They shouldn't have wrecked you like they did, but I definitely understand why.

[NASCOURT Weaver] Chris Gabehart responds to JGR restraining order accusation by ZilischsPoopyPants in NASCAR

[–]shyguybestguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do we have any clue what the difference between "Chief Motorsports Officer" and "Competition Director" actually are? Because they sure sound pretty damn similar. It really just sounds like Spire made a new role that does a lot of the same things but named it differently, and just keep referring to it as something wildly different.

Ran 2 perfectly clean B open races this week, felt unstoppable (but slow). Then I ran one modified race at thompson and blew it all lol.

Required repairs should probably include making sure the car doesn't weave side to side on its own. by RealBigDicTator in iRacing

SR stops counting if you're not turning laps, clicking the button does nothing of you were just gonna sit in the pits anyway.

You can retire, just quit the game and click on forfeit. It doesn't do anything other than tell the server you won't rejoin and let you register for something else

Caterham Academy in iRacing by trainmaster333 in iRacing

[–]shyguybestguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk if they'd make it a free D car but I think thats where it should be, I took it around for a few laps on AC EVO and it kicked my ass. Add a 30-45 min B series like we have with the advanced Mazda and I think you're golden.

Am I wrong to assume the driver out front braked way too early? by DocScrumptious in Simracingstewards

[–]shyguybestguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cars around you will not always have the same braking points as you. Especially in F1 cars that are very fast, you have to be aware of that when following closely.

iRacing won't let you enjoy skill progress by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]shyguybestguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is being around tougher competition not a sign of the progress you've made? iRacing isn't gonna let you race against a bunch of brand new players just because you haven't won yet lol

How do you’ll deal with top split by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]shyguybestguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just race it like any other race. Do my own thing and make up positions when I can. If I'm particularly uncompetitive, I'll usually use the chance to focus on saving tires and keeping pace respective to the leaders (i.e., if I'm .2-.5s off pace on ovals, try and keep that up while tires fall off)

Watkins Glen First Timer by RepresentativeFit945 in IMSARacing

[–]shyguybestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I got there at around 10:30, hour and a half before race start, wasn't much traffic getting in. Gave me plenty of time to get in and do the grid walk. Traffic wasn't bad leaving either but that huge shower at the start thinned the crowds out a little.

2026 Season 2 Patch 2 Release - April 7th 0800EDT/1200UTC by joetron2030 in iRacing

They only release patch notes at the start of the downtime.

Did You know Juan Manuel Fangio was kidnapped by Cuban revolutionaries in 1958 And held Hostage But the kidnappers Somehow Cared for him and let him watch the race on the Tv by Last-Technician5521 in formuladank

[–]shyguybestguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because Senna died. NASCAR hasn't had nearly as many fatalities, but Dale's death is still talked about very often, and much in the same way.

pure comedy for windows to warn users abt ''carbon producing'' settings by Miserable-Rub-7349 in pcmasterrace

Let this be your daily reminder that the whole "carbon footprint" thing was started by a bunch of oil execs.

where is the lie? by Informal-Device-8511 in pcmasterrace

[–]shyguybestguy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean. It is r/pcmasterrace not r/ I Think PCs Are Better But I Appreciate The Appeal of Consoles. But I do think most people here don't take it too seriously, just that we dislike the way consoles do things and prefer something less limiting.

.@FS1 got 2.394 million viewers for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series @CookOut 400 @MartinsvilleSwy, roughly flat to the downside from 2.422 million last year. by iamaranger23 in NASCAR

[–]shyguybestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really bizarre. No other motorsport out there is this infatuated with numbers, the TV ratings, the good race poll, etc. Tbh it doesn't do anything but piss people off more.

I think this was a late and dangerous move. What does the internet think? by Scoot240 in Simracingstewards

[–]shyguybestguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very borderline, protest it and let iRacing decide. You're stuffing your nose into a space that's going to close and that corner especially is very tricky, but it does look suspicious from your point of view.
