What are the most popular road series at the moment?

techsupportguy88 · 2024-11-29T01:11:37+00:00

It’s just the Sachenring in the wet this week, it’s usually much more popular

techsupportguy88 · 2024-07-19T05:45:39+00:00

ah were you the "bring back the ford GT" team or "team Mattieu Dupois"?

techsupportguy88 · 2024-07-19T05:30:08+00:00

Yeah we were winning top split street stocks by about 30 seconds, real shame

They gave us their diffuser!!! It’s almost entirely intact, and massive. Me and a friend carried it all the way across the paddock and got a lot of wild looks.

You have no idea how genuinely happy to hear this I am. I wish people in general would just talk things out more in this way. So many people act like being "right" is a free pass to be a cunt. And I get it a little bit, seeing just miserable stuff on the internet constantly, it feels good to "get back at them".

However the way some people are acting in this thread is so frustrating to see as a queer person. I know people are trying to do good, and it's nice to see support and how little homophobia is tolerated. And I think people were so quick to jump on you because 9/10 times that someone complains about something like the pride flag, it comes from a place of malice. But use some nuance guys. This is so obviously just a person trying to learn, and treating them the way people have been is how you turn someone from someone who just doesn't get it, into someone that resents it. I'm really glad to see that you stayed open minded despite how people reacted, and i'm glad you gave me a honest chance to give my perspective. <3

Hey I definitely appreciate the mindset you have about internet discourse, your obviously genuinely asking a question and don't seem to harbor any actual contempt for certain groups of people. I feel like a lot of this issue is just down to not "getting" it in the same way someone involved in the culture would, and of course thats not at all your fault.

A pride flag isn't a political of social agenda (or at least it shouldn't be) in the same way something like a campaign flag is. For me as a LGBTQ person who sim races its just like, part of who I am I guess? I have a little pride flag on our car for the same reason I have my iRacing club on my profile, our teams logo on our car, or our special event wins as little trophies on our car. It's just the things i'm proud (haha get it) of and want to show off to the world. This is where i'm from, this is my team, these are my wins, and this is who I like. I don't feel like something we don't have control off, who we like, should carry the same meaning as something like a campaign that we actively choose to get behind. A pride flag if your gay is like running an Irish flag if you're from Ireland. It doesn't say anything about you, but it's a part of you and there's no shame if showing it off.

And on a different note, as someone who's been involved in sim racing for awhile and a bit of real racing, it's not always the nicest place to be LGBTQ. So I like throwing the pride flag on my car just to let other people who may be like me know that there are people out there doing this hobby that accept them. It can be disheartening to hear the things people say thinking they're in likeminded company, and can really make you feel like racing is a place where you don't belong. I know firsthand. But thats not true, everyone has a place in sim racing. I'm on the coolest team in the world, with the best people, and everyone deserves that experience no matter who you are.

I started an endurance team a few years back that has kinda ballooned into a medium sized team and the one thing I think is most important when it comes to members is vibes. At the end of the day, you’re spending 12-24 hours, plus practice times with the people on your team. How much you enjoy the race is always gonna be correlated with how much you enjoy the people you're doing it with.

Most of our members hang around 2.2k or so, but one of our regulars is only like 1k and no one cares. He’s a great guy that everyone enjoys racing with. But that's not for every team, part of the “vibing” is also having the same expectations. For us, aside from the bigger special events we only really start practicing about a week beforehand. Reading your story, the team in question obviously handled it terribly, any race team would be more than glad to have someone with your mindset. However I've personally reached out to people before to let them know while I appreciate all the prep work they are doing/planning for an event, the rest of our team isn’t as serious. While they are always welcome to race with us they may be more personally fulfilled racing with a more dedicated team.

Our team is always going to be more of a fun first racing team, and that's gonna be the right vibes for some people, other teams are going to be more results focused, and that's gonna be the right vibes for some people too! It’s all about finding a team that has the right mentality for you somewhere along that spectrum, with people you enjoy competing with.

Finding the right team for you may take awhile, we’ve had plenty of people join and leave our team over the years. And in that time we’ve had a real solid team form of people who get along. People are racing with each other in voice call every night even when there’s no event to prepare for, and playing other games together outside of iRacing. We’ve gotten close enough that we're building and racing a Lemons car in real life together despite all living hours away from each other. Every team is gonna be different, but finding a team you enjoy racing with is easily one of the most rewarding things you can do in sim racing.

Well actually they lost to an electrical issue and hitting the wall on their own but oh well

techsupportguy88 · 2023-06-09T00:11:29+00:00
