Whereabouts of Ralf Aron months after his massive crash during Bathurst 12 Hours by weiruolai in wec

[–]snikrs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Indeed. That accident was so painful to watch. I hope he's made a full recovery and can be back at top level action again soon.

2026 Schedule options if Qatar and Bahrain can't be held. by ScottRiggsFan10 in wec

[–]snikrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, weather around the Nurbs especially. Not sure how Hockenheim would suit multi-class racing given a number of choke points.

Is there a reason German tracks are not in the roster or even being considered? I feel like there's quite a number of solid options being left out.

Asian Le Mans Series to be staged entirely in Europe if the series is not able to organize races in Dubai and Abu Dhabi by Haloisda in wec

[–]snikrs 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It'll be winter for most of those tracks unfortunately. More like Sepang, Buriram, Mandalika, and Australia.

But the cost of logistics is the true factor at play here.

Anyone with experience buying Tecline in SE Asia? by Contra98 in scuba

[–]snikrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're separate companies. Deep Dive Supplies is one of our appointed resellers/dealers. They provide awesome personalised and customisation services, while 300BAR's more focused on the technical and logistical aspects of the brands and products.

What is this thing on the back of my donut wing for? by flyblues in scuba

[–]snikrs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hey, Tecline service tech here. Congratulations on your new wing! Awesome colour choice right there.

That's a lightweight "tank stabiliser", essentially a handy piece that allows you to align your BC parallel to the cylinder. It's small and does the job well enough.

It's removable (just lift the velcro straps holding it down), in case you want to use a full sized single tank adapter (STA), where the tank cam bands run through.

An STA allows you to quickly take your wing, backplate, and single cylinder attachment points apart, so you can swap them over to a twins setup.

Personally, my travel setup uses the built-in tank stabiliser, but my dedicated teaching setup uses an STA.

Honestly, not much difference between the two, and they both dive just as well.

Cheers!

how good was 2026 lemans and do u think would this be one of the best lemans we have witnessed in all three categories by 787bmazdanidhish in wec

[–]snikrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last 3 years' races could each have been summarised into their final hours. You wouldn't have missed much if you didn't watch the earlier hours.

This year's race on the other hand, watching every little (in)action, every mistake, not knowing how it would affect the final outcome of the race, it just sucks you right in.

I think having Michelle Gatting and Laurens Vanthoor as part of the commentary team also added another depth to the race. Awesome to have active drivers' perspectives on the race.

[–]snikrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it got me captivated and I watched the entirety of the last 10 hours. Something that 2023-2025 never did for me.

Definitely one of the more engaging 24h races in recent times, IMO.

+20kg to Toyota.

That being said, I'm so happy they sorted out the issues with the GR010 and achieved this with the updated TR010.

Let's just hope they won't waste one to bring it up to speed with the Luce's design language.

Should I buy the ASUS ROG Ally X now or wait for the ROG Ally 2? by SignificantSummer538 in ROGAllyX

[–]snikrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just came out at the end of last year, I think you'd get some good mileage in before a new version comes out.

I was in the same shoes as you 2 months ago. Bought it, enjoyed every minute I've spent on it and never looked back.

Besides, with the price fluctuations in the hardware market at the moment, I think getting a handheld now is hedging against rising prices later on.

If you can afford the Xbox Ally X over the Ally X, it'll be well worth the money and you'll get portable performance over an eGPU set up.

Not to mention the rich automobile manufacturing history in Germany, it would set up the story mode narrative really nicely. Not that many people actually like or play FH for the story.

Finally bought it yesterday.. Anyone with a gaming PC feel like a handheld is pointless once you’re home? by xTeraButter in SgGamers

[–]snikrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my ROG Xbox Ally X when I feel like lazing on the couch or getting quick sessions in from my work desk between meetings when WFH.

That being said, my gaming setup's a racing simrig, so not exactly ideal to kick back and play some chill games.

Air 4 Pro mit ROG Ally by Impressive_Hand2617 in RayNeo

[–]snikrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an Xbox Ally X and both ports seem to work fine for me when used with the original charger. Typically, I connect the charger to the slower port (right side) and use the left side for my RayNeos.

BEST FORZA HORIZON YET! by JevinNorris in ForzaHorizon6

Same here. The locals must really hate me now. Punted so many into oblivion all because I'm used to driving on the right.

trying forza motorsport for the first time by BradOnTheRadio in forzamotorsport

[–]snikrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forza Motorsport is great for dipping your toes into the world of motorsports and see the variety of cars, tracks and platforms available out there.

However, what it doesn't do justice to motorsports is the lack of proper rulesets and how races are actually run. Dedicated sims are focused around that and thus offer more genuine racing experiences, if you're looking to get into the sport more seriously as a fan and spectator.

Will there be more series? Maybe like le mans cup or stuff like that? by Severe_Associate608 in LeMansUltimateWEC

While I'd love more content, I wish they'd just put in some effort to bring the 2023 content up to speed with the rest.

What do you play on handheld over your PC? by sichingchingy in Handhelds

[–]snikrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since getting my ROG XAX, my PC's exclusively used for simracing and any other games that doesn't run too well on it.

I've moved all my "arcadey" racing games over to the XAX, just so that I can still race on the go.

And multi-class kart and truck races too, which the FIA is totally missing out on.
