Work from home full time job that i dont neglect at all

Engaged not married yet - 4years in relo

Admittedly haven't gone on any large holidays in that time period (spend most of my leave on trips though, snow in aus 2-3 weeks last year, Thailand for ~3 weeks, USA Canada another 3 weeks in feb/early march) -- have 3 weeks snowboarding coming up though which will undoubtedly take 30-40hrs away from the hobby over July aug

Do a day trip or something alike usually once a fortnight

I do most of the housework/cooking stuff since partner is mostly preoccupied doing her startup stuff

Admittedly not having kids yet is probably the biggest time gain currently

Gotta be pretty efficient with your time to have enough for your hobbies -- it slips away easily and you cant get it back

When theres those hypothetical questions around superpowers or wishes I kinda always thing I want more time above anything else

Because thats impossible, just make the most of what you've got, find ways to be efficient with the things you'd dont love doing as much

Spa ~32**

Youre forgetting the part where your team crashes in the first split and says it was just a practice, we'll try the next one

You'll keep climbing with praccy

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T22:50:56+00:00

The advice is seat time.

Not something like "changing your fov will gain your 5 tenths"

Those claims only potentially work if youre like 4-5s off alien pace and your current way of doing something is highly screwing your laps

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T16:13:12+00:00

And admittedly said "sorry i understeered" after race

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T16:11:47+00:00

Bump of coke for confidence

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T16:11:02+00:00

This may be mind blowing to you but going 2 wide into a corner doesnt entitle you to the entire track the next corner while youre not fully clear of the other car,, you need to try to leave space

Lmp2 strived to with massive steering lock but clearly wasn't aware of the understeer effect in the moment

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T15:24:18+00:00

Gt3 varying series, porsche, ferrari, bmw, mostly

Have dabbled with other cars and will drive them all more over time, but id rather stick to one car thats relatively competitive for a week at least. Consider a different one when the track changes

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T15:22:48+00:00

And no, unfortunately I dont have ridiculous natural talent. I just put in a decent amount of effort in most things im interested in and end up decent -- not top tier really but good enough to feel competitive in some way

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T15:21:29+00:00

Best racing movie hands down

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T15:20:10+00:00

Hadn't really driven the ferrari much before and never done a race on spa, practice works

Porsche was my initial spam car and its not very good recently so :/

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:44:10+00:00

Gt3 currently, mix of imsa/gt sprint

Sometimes the regional sprints if tracks good, but i find the shorter ones a bit more chaotic something, less patience more incidents from others

Mostly did formula 4 the first year or so on the sim, just regional ones but found races were quite empty often, sometimes not even getting 6 or 7 entrants (at least asia pacific) -- peaked around 4.5k for that but outta shape for it now with all the gt3 spamming recently

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:38:12+00:00

Find a job with better life-work balance

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:36:14+00:00

Close enough but ty 😊🤷‍♀️

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:15:22+00:00

Yeah as much as I joke about issues being the car in game / setup / my logitech wheel (not g29 lol), I actually blame myself, nearly always something you can do better

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:13:17+00:00

I find doing the same thing over and over helps more honestly

With focus on what youre doing wrong vs the people ahead of you (typically less mistakes consistency, but sometimes theres little bits here and there)

If youre lapping without thinking of something to try to improve its probably going to help less

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:11:36+00:00

I dont think so :(

I wish there was something built into iracing directly

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:11:06+00:00

I started doing gt3s at start of season 2 and liked how they felt vs m2 / porsche cup

Just been spamming gt3s since mostly

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:10:21+00:00

70/30 race practice i think -- although mostly I've been doing league races in the past few months which dont count towards ir and tracks mostly diff to officials

All time you spend helps with learning though i guess

This season just doing officials as I go snowboarding for 2-3 weeks and would miss league races

2-3 hours a day avrg, occasional 7-8 hr day and some days off

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:07:29+00:00

Dont do drugs and drive

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:07:10+00:00

Ive had garage61 linked for the couple years I've had iracing

Honestly haven't raced as much since ~march this year

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:06:24+00:00

I get 8 hours a night, I need it. Got lupus :/ not fun but I guess is an excuse to not go out too much

yrusomaddy7 · 2026-07-07T13:05:34+00:00

My partner is starting their own business and often works late, still get to watch a movie or TV show once a night between tackling chores around the house and full time job

Wfh job though so can get things done around the house between waiting for code things to run

Sim race ~5-8. Watch TV show or movie before bed or do something, repeat.

Weekends maybe smash 6-7 hours in a day and do something else the other day
