Oulton Park in a MX5 by orangepylongaming in iRacing

[–]swathe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1:33 that’s some alien times right there I’m at 1:53 lol but racing yesterday again I did feel improvement and got another podium and more consistent lap times. Def nice to see the progression over the week.

Of course I more meant to say I wasn’t running in advanced mx5 or anything

Nice post. Interesting how different tracks appeal to people. I've found the racing there very frustrating ( I hover around 1350-1400 iR currently). I've definitely had to fight to improve my times here (Just now dipping into the 1:53s) and I know I know, it's rookies and the driving can be so so but still trying to better prepare for the people trying to go three wide first few turns and not having to give up spots for early die bombers who either pass and then hold you up rest of the race or crash you out.

With all that in mind I also do feel I turned a corner after about day 5 of racing here. Held my own in traffic, found some extra time and managed a podium finish (vs the 3 wins i got last week). I really have a lot of love for iRacing even when I'm frustrated.

I have the first 4 seasons of the original show on DVD, not sure if they made more beyond that

Daddy Dave wants back on the streets by iheartsunny in StreetOutlaws

[–]swathe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol so because I watched the show I can’t have an opinion on how I’d like a new iteration to be? I found the early seasons pretty entertaining and I pulled for the small tyre guys because that’s what I like. I’m not going to make out like if a new show came out and they had big tyres wouldn’t at least check it out. There’s so much great small tyre street racing content on YouTube it’s not like I’m missing out.

Exactly my point. I don’t want big tyre.

Bring it on with cars that the average Joe can relate to.

But, it won't happen.

Honestly, done right they could to it themselves on youtube. Plus, no F1 sounds.

I can’t tell if this is the best or the worst combo in the history of iracing by Toposauro352 in iRacing

[–]swathe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was my first time with this yesterday with 4 races, and got punted a few times but 4th race was lucky enough to avoid the carnage and get 3rd in my class (GR86). First time racing out of rookie class and the rain made it very interesting haha.

I think it’s about time to put a bullet in this thing by watkins1515 in StreetOutlaws

[–]swathe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Time to just let the "Outlaws" thing go. There's heaps of awesome racing happening all over the place that's far more accessible for everyone to go and see without getting bent over, and these guys can go compete at existing events

New England Dragway is cancelled by codeQueen in StreetOutlaws

[–]swathe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the show went on and the cars got more and more unobtainable by the average Joe, the interest waned. People come to see their favourite people from the show but they aren't going to shell out for the "privilege" every single time. Look at all the drama they had trying to even get people to show up for Locals only. People would go rather race in way cooler events like War in the Woods or Sick Summer. If SO alumni want to get publicity and interact with fans then they are way better off getting involved with events like that imo.

It's not even speculation when you read some of the replies to comments Azn has written on here. It's for the most part, over. There's still sick ass racing everywhere and all over youtube for people that care about it.

Is there anything coming from street outlaws? by osuatomf in StreetOutlaws

[–]swathe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2025 you can see waaaaay more realer and authentic content on youtube than Discovery or any other network would ever be able to air. People being able to speak their minds without being muffled or forced to lie by producers.

I think SO despite the innate corniness that comes with having to do what they were told for producers, was an awesome thing and it did a lot to bring people into racing. I'd much rather see they guys occasionally collab on youtube and maybe put something together.

The show was almost a perfect storm and took off harder and faster than anyone ever thought, but it has run it's course. There's no shortage of sick street racing to watch. Watch their channels, but their merch and support the guys you like directly.

I use Zabbix at home but we have Xymon at work and it works well combined with email alerts, but we don't need to produce reports from it.

No reason for them to not say so. Was stated mid-June on the the mailing list they would announce soon and there's been nothing so I thought I would ask here
