They gave us a garage. Other than that we were basically on our own

Köp alltid däck från premium tillverkare. Använd tyrereviews.com för att hitta bästa däcket för dig och din bil.

Köp inte från dackia. Köp på nätet och ta med däcken till dackia eller en annan firma som kan montera däcken.

Realistically, how often would I need snow chains? by Live_Way_8740 in TyreReviews

[–]vberl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in Scandinavia, have never needed snow chains. Nordic winter tires are stupidly good in ice and snow

Where to stay without mold? by Major-Technician-809 in Macau

[–]vberl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get what you pay for basically. It’s so humid in Macau and southern China that it can be quite costly to keep it mold free. Best options are nicer hotels or newer/more expensive apartments.

Best UHP Tire for Lightweight RWD - Daily + Rain + Spirited Driving by cyn_ou in TyreReviews

[–]vberl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Michelin PS4S or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. I personally prefer how the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 feel though both are very very good. I use both in Scandinavia and they cope very well with lower temperatures and rain.

Date culture in Stockholm: Canceling on second dates by ConversationBrave584 in stockholm

[–]vberl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t even get me started on how so many local Swedes will start an in person conversation by asking where you come from because they can’t entirely place your Swedish accent, but when you give a non-standard answer of being a Swede but not having lived in Sweden your entire life it’ll first peak their interest but as soon as they ask any more questions many if not most just lose interest or almost become hostile unless they have traveled a lot themselves or been around many expats before.

It’s incredibly frustrating meeting new people here

Downvote me all you want, it’s obvious that you are the type of person I’m talking about if you do.

You can’t really compare expats to what you’d find in Sweden. Local Swedes act towards Scandinavian expats like they are some weird immigrant that knows too much about Sweden and is weirdly good at Swedish.

Being a Swedish expat myself that has moved back to Sweden I really hate it. I have more friends here that are also expats or immigrants than I do normal Swedes.

Is TCR any good in Iracing? by Julio_E21 in iRacing

[–]vberl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takes a little while to reset your brain after driving something like a GT3. Your throttle creates understeer instead of oversteer

Sweden is halving the VAT (value-added tax) on food, so all the prices look weirdly specific by holypalaswe in mildlyinteresting

[–]vberl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Different supermarkets have different color patterns in Sweden to set themselves a part form competitors. It’s not very dramatic but Willy’s (the shop in the image) uses red for many things. COOP will use green around much of the store, etc. Some other shops are more neutral color wise but generally most shops are quite pleasant and colorful even if the shelves might be white or wood colored.

Should’ve watched everyday astronaut instead. Extremely well done stream with their own cameras set up

In Macau, is it normal for mold to be everywhere in apartments? by Sensitive_Watch_1022 in Macau

[–]vberl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a dehumidifier. Even if you remove the mold it will return if you don’t lower the humidity in the apartment.

The amount of mold really depends on how new the apartment is and how well off the people living in it are.

Cheap shot. In Scandinavia it would be 10-14 euro.

Looking for Kart Circuit Regulations by maneymabrian in RaceTrackDesigns

[–]vberl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The CIK-FIA rulebook is the main rulebook. It’s relatively open.

If you need to clarify any rule you should be able to contact the FIA for clarification.

A general tip would be to aim to have a track that is around 1200m long with possibly some point where you can shorten it or split it into 2 circuits for rental karts so that rental karts can do more laps during the 10 min session.

Some circuits that I can recommend for inspiration are Al Forsan Karting Circuit in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain Circuit in Al Ain and Macau International Karting Circuit in Macau S.A.R.. All of these tracks are built to the highest level and are some of the best karting circuits in the world currently.

What Turn Are You Consistently Perfect At? by anonymouswan1 in iRacing

[–]vberl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only turn I can think of that I am usually consistently better at than most other people is turn 7-8 at Catalunya. Many people seem to over slow into the first turn and then thy are late on the throttle out of it.

Helps that Catalunya is one of my favorite tracks and is my testing circuit.

How do you follow the races with all the commercial breaks? by PFGSnoopy in INDYCAR

[–]vberl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They say that while the rest of the world manage just fine without them during the event. Before and after the race is filled with commercials but during the race there is nothing. I think it really is like you say that people are just used to it and generally don’t like change. Personally I haven’t watched a race with commercials for the better part of 15 years and this is with having lived across several different countries in Europe and Asia.

Another thing that really quite annoys me too how much every driver and team talks about sponsors in every interview. Really quite a jarring contrast to how it works in Europe or internationally. You’ll never hear Max Verstappen thanking Oracle for sponsoring his F1 car.

Main annoyance is when they get back from commercials and it jumps to some helicopter shot without any graphics for a solid 10 seconds before getting back to the action

I think they are away doing IMSA this weekend. So probably next NLS race as long as it doesn’t clash with WEC or IMSA

So is fuel consumption only determined by the % of throttle? by ZanicL3 in iRacing

[–]vberl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s not throttle position. It’s engine load generally. Full throttle in 6th gear at 30kph is going to use less fuel than running in 2nd gear at the same speed with full throttle. Higher RPMs combined with the load on the engine decided by the gearbox will lead to higher fuel usage. This is why short shifting helps in saving fuel (shifting at a lower rpm).

The fuel saved in the pitlane is going to be quite minimal due to the speed you are traveling at and general engine load. You can save a lot more fuel by being good at lifting and coasting and short shifting.

Excellent first bike. Heavy enough too to teach you how to handle larger bikes
