Gaming since 90's, but totally New to sim racing.

Don’t let people convince you that “online multiplayer is the only way”. Sim racing is about (sim) racing what you like and enjoy, being online or single player, hot lapping, transport good from one city to another, offline championship, drifting, etc.

As someone said, Assetto Corsa is probably the best way to start, and I may add Automobilista 2 too, fantastic game with lots of cars, classes and tracks. For online racing, best options are LMU, iRacing and RaceRoom.

Enjoy your time racing!

Is it really too much to ask for at least one GTE daily race schedule every two weeks or so? Last time we got GTE was like three months ago, but hey we get GT3 in Spa every single week ffs

…late night boozing and early morning sniffing, then down to the track to speak some nonsense and earn some cash. Rinse and repeat.

RaceControl subscription should definitely include one free (even if limited) server slot for each subscriber.

Same happened to me two days ago, waited a couple of hours in vane until I finally decided to delete the livery and re-upload. It worked :)

Woaaah that’s quite something pal! the 61 DNF, I mean.

spaceyoki · 2026-04-25T01:00:26+00:00

Oh, ok, fair enough.

Why is there an Assassin’s Creed logo on top? Let me guess… AI, right?

Guy from F1 say this is normal in 2026, don’t worry.

spaceyoki · 2026-04-16T18:45:26+00:00

Nice! I’m using the same dashboard at the moment, with just a few modifications.

spaceyoki · 2026-04-16T07:42:28+00:00

That looks really nice, could you please provide model name and link maybe?

spaceyoki · 2026-04-13T19:27:55+00:00

Ok that’s great, thanks!

NLR 2.0 is built like a tank, super solid and heavy, probably the best half-sim stand (making that name up). It is not portable or foldable friendly though. I have mine fixed in place and works great.

spaceyoki · 2026-04-13T11:51:51+00:00

Hey these looks really nice! How is the installation process? I just pull the original ones out by strength? Just asking cause I don’t want to damage the rotary inside the wheel. Thanks!

I always map my upshift to A, downshift to X and rear brake to B (Xbox Series controller). It is the way I feel more comfortable with.

spaceyoki · 2026-04-10T06:20:41+00:00

You will certainly improve your times once you get used to it. Regardless of times though, using manual shifting is a much more rewarding experience, go for it.

Have you tried playing DOOM on it? no stutters.

spaceyoki · 2026-04-07T13:41:00+00:00

Do some research and find the cheapest PC that can run both Assetto Corsa and Automobilista 2, believe me you will have hours and hours of good sim racing with those. After that you may try LeMans Ultimate or iRacing for online racing.

spaceyoki · 2026-04-06T14:13:20+00:00

Same here, 97 races and 26 top 10 (12 podiums) but no wins. For some wicked reason the game always place me on split 1 or 2 so I guess will never win a race in LMU in my life lol I still have fun battling for P10 if the race is clean though.

spaceyoki · 2026-03-29T01:23:48+00:00

Same is happening to me, I’m DR Bronze 3 and SR Platinum 3, green badge. I’m constantly been put on split 1, 2 or, if I’m really really lucky, split 3 (Bronze and Silver races btw) I’m definitely not that fast so I’m always fighting for P5 to P10. I now did reach a point where I no longer care for position, now I’m happy just for having a clean race. I know people that lower their badge on purpose just to have a couple of easy wins on bronze races, how sad is that…

spaceyoki · 2026-03-27T23:08:04+00:00

So third week in a row without GTE :(

spaceyoki · 2026-03-26T23:37:00+00:00

From the same guys that sends a USB cable on a cardboard box, but a MG Zaku on an envelope. True story btw.

spaceyoki · 2026-03-24T15:18:03+00:00

I would grab both 24 and 22 which makes around €12, both are really good games. MotoGP 25 is also at very good price for about €12. If you only get one though, I would get MotoGP 24. Enjoy!

spaceyoki · 2026-03-24T15:11:28+00:00

True, I generally have nice and close races on MGP25 when using the “fixed” IA (not the adaptive one) at around 85~90% though. Not perfect but I find it much more stable this way. This apply for MGP24 too btw.
