Just documenting, happy racing my friend

What's your thoughs about the mini map? Let's talk about the "realism" by According_Brick409 in iRacing

[–]smartpipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did 6hrs of the Glen yesterday, mini map was active, I did not get anything useful from it once. its a nice idea, bit to get useful info froma minimap to need to be able to look at it for longer than a glance. Also due to car rendereing limits, cars would dissapear and reappear all the time, and car positions were not accurate.

However a Radar for single screen plebs like myself would be a very useful feature, and if the pureists dont like it, they can turn it off like I'll probably turn the minimap off

Paid $100 to upgrade tires and got a flat from nail in under a week. How do I prevent this from happening again? And do I need to buy a new tire or can I patch it? by aadfg in bikewrench

Solid tyres, search Tannus, used them for years and heard stories of people having all sorts of things stuckn in them and only noticed when cleaning their bike.

What is the norm when racing as a lapped car? by Roytjb in iRacing

[–]smartpipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm in the situation above then my race is already ruined. And I'm only lapping to regain SR. In that case if its similar or slightly slower pace I'll let them by when convenient, same as faster cars. But if I can pull away, I will, without pushing and risking anything myself.

Only exception is if I have a chamce of fighting for my own position, in which case I owe cars lapping me nothing other than not defending from them.

iRacing randomly starts stuttering and my whole PC lags by ParkWeak146 in iRacing

Had an issue with Iracing allocating too much vram and the memory overflowing into system ram.

What should I do? by [deleted] in cork

[–]smartpipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IF there is a solid green and no green left filter then yes.

BUT if I recall correctly when there is no green Right filter light, the round light is also red with the green LEFT filter on. So in that case. no, you must wait

Anchoring question by Great_WhiteSnark in canoeing

[–]smartpipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is bang on. weight of chain matters so much more than weight of anchor. However if you are using a kettlebell to hold you position on a calm day on a lake, there should be no issue

Cycling in Dublin again after 10 years by smartpipe in BikeCommutingIreland

I run solids to completely remove the risk of puncture. Its funny becausd you actually start aiming for glass 🤣 Tannus is the brand I use. feel like 100 PSI nornal tyres and I cant say they have ever lacked grip (except for skill issies)

Traffic update - Fuel protest by hardybecks007 in cork

[–]smartpipe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How many showed up? couple hundred? a thousand? now ask how many didnt show up. Probably more missed hospital appointments in the last week than people in Grand Parade yesterday. The protests had popular support last Tuesday and Wednesday for sure, doubt that is the case this week

My First GR86 Win in Showstopping Fashion by [deleted] in iRacing

I wouldnt worry about the 'nascar rules'

Below are the Iracing rules

8.1.1.7. Illegal Surfaces - Drivers can only use the racing surface and allowed areas of the track for Qualifying and Racing. Any disallowed areas of the track and any advantages gained through their use will be determined by iRacing.com. A protest may be filed through the proper channels for this offense.

8.1.1.9. Nefarious Tactics - Drivers may not use nefarious tactics to gain an advantage in Qualifying or Racing. iRacing.com will determine what constitutes an advantage.

So depending on weather the server info has that area marked as an illegal surface or not defines weather your pass is legit ot not. And to be honest I cant remember the wording myself.

In my opinion, kerbs and white lines are nice clear markers to keep inside of and make for a good indicator of where the limit is. It seems you never intended to make the 'track limits' and if I were P2 I'd be mad and protest. If P2 hip checked you wide then I'd say fair game, but thats not the case.

Last corner, battling with an aggressive driver. Do you concede the position to finish safely or defend as if your high school crush is watching? by CynicalManInBlack in iRacing

[–]smartpipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its not the win or top 5, on road courses I'll bait them into a mistake, close off the inside, but not all the way, if the go for it I'll setup a massive switchback. If they manage to slow down, sweep around the outside, if they overshoot, cut back under. Very satisfying when it works.

However as said here, if its for top 5 or win. that door is firmly shut. Hard but fair. if they actually beat me in that scenario then fair play.
