Did you er…read the article or nah?
Yeah I feel you on this one- very similar situation myself! Forget energy, you’ll never have it. Just find the time, and aim racing will give you the buzz you’ve been looking for.
Racing chairs/rigs- what’s yours?
Shop Playseat Trophy Racing Seat. Features lightweight carbon steel frame, Actifit™️ body conforming material, adjustable wheel, pedals, plates and seat positioning.
Logitech have not long announced they’ve made a racing chair- I know there’s probably some you can get a lot cheaper but it looks neat! I’m in desperate need of upgrading to one of these- I currently use a desk which is not remotely suited to the job. Too high, can’t match my chair to the right angle/height, wobbles with the force of turning the wheel which in turn also wobbles my monitor etc…please tell me I’m not the only one with this setup? 😆
Group B RWD is one of the most fun rally classes to drive.
Hey! Face cam is back! Ah damn, face cam is back. Excuse the mess. Now watch this drive...
Hey everyone! I did a short stream where I drove Group B RWD for The Gamer’s Tavern Rally Championship in EA WRC. I drove the Lancia 037 and spent most of the time on full lock in some blizzard conditions and also mostly airborne 😂 I brought back the face camera so you can see how much I look like a dork while trying to fight with the car… haha. I wasn’t fast enough to catch EighthLayer this time…
We talk about driving assists in rally games using controller, we talk about weight distribution and brake bias, and we drive the hell out of this thing!
Feel free to comment and join in, I love talking cars, driving styles and all things sim racing with people!
Seemed to be- it was owned by my Mum so there’s no guarantee she’d updated firmware properly or whatever. Come think of it I do remember checking for firmware updates and there weren’t any at that moment in time, but something as severely dangerous as that tainted my view somewhat permanently of it. The only saving grace was the great acceleration: if I wasn’t quick enough slamming the accelerator down a few times I would have been smoosh by a following truck.
I agree with the angle you’re coming from and think you’re right to a degree, but I can hand on heart say Tesla’s automation is the worst I’ve experienced. Have driven the likes of Tesla, VW and Volvo with automated driving capabilities, Volvo came out on top, VW second and Tesla last. I lost track of the amount of times where the Tesla slammed its brakes on randomly when travelling on a motorway at 70mph with seemingly no trigger. The Volvo was the most rock solid where I could actually sit back and let the car do it without feeling like I needed to be ready at a millisecond’s reaction to take over.
Perhaps where Tesla falls down is claiming their software has “Full Self Driving”. It doesn’t, and none of them do- yet.
I…don’t think there’s anyone I’d trust less to create an AI for driving
Yeah it had a pretty rough ride at the start but when it worked, it was really nice tbh.
Also: 
Damn shame, tbh. Out of all of them I really like the visuals and vibe of Firefish.
Questions are growing? Haven’t they been out already for fucking years??

Modder @SpadeTheSkele has successfully made the 1999 PC port of Sega Rally 2 compatible with modern computers, enhancing its performance compared to the lower framerate of the Dreamcast version.
Hardly surprised to be honest, I hear there’s good versions of toasters to drive too
I used to love driving this thing in the OG Need for Speed games. Should really try and revisit it in some of the modern sim racers

Not at all! I share your frustration- we’re plagued by bad/ineffective CPR because TV shows and films do such a shit job of showing it. I know it seems extreme but I think it should be illegal to show ineffective CPR on TV.
For non medical readers: to clarify- the person first doing the compressions first wasn’t pressing hard enough. Not the person taking over!
Just…don’t be afraid with compressions. The only thing you can really get wrong is not pressing hard enough. For the rest of it, don’t worry about it- just keep trying to squash that heart, that’s the best chance you can give the person.
I mean the trend these days is massive preorder price then back down to a normal price after a month or so, right? :/
I know right?! It especially runs really well on steam deck, too
Wreckfest 2 announcement: not sim racing, I know...but...

Anyone interested in this? I know it isn’t sim racing but you gotta admit, sometimes it’s ridiculously free after spending hours of meticulously trying not to crash a car to just go “ah fuck it! HNNNNRRRG” steer into opponents

iRacing – Season 3 Schedule Now Available!
“As for features, we have BIG NEWS! This release will fully implement the New Damage Model on ALL VEHICLES in the entire service! That’s right, every single car will now benefit from the improved physics and visual experience brought by using the New Damage Model. A few vehicles have received special attention with this release, including the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) and the NASCAR Trucks Series Trucks. The Porsche has been updated to the latest available technical specifications, while the NASCAR Trucks Series Trucks have received significant updates and improvements based on research performed in partnership with NASCAR, as well as extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.”
Hate to break it to you, but er…yup
Yeah to be fair I’ve seen loads of examples where sim racers have multiple wheels that they use on display on a shelf and they just swap them out
I’m sure that could probably be bound to a Push To Talk button or something for extra immersion!
I legit couldn’t cope with it…
Can see that. But a piece of art that gets used or just kept safe? 🤣
Do you love sim racing enough to spend $2,499 on a steering wheel? / Sim-Lab used the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team’s technical designs to accurately recreate the team’s steering wheel for gamers.
Living room racers can level up.
Now I love me some Sim Racing. I know it’s an expensive habit that ultimately is cheaper than real life racing. But…c’mon…? Surely not?

I have a few friends who are now dropping this game (they’re on Linux). Such a dick move by EA
Anyone driven this beast? Mercedes Sauber C9
Absolute monster of a car. Twin turbo V8. The sound of it was and still is incredible. Only tried it out a few times on Project Cars 2 and regularly crashed 😂
Check out some on board footage here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OQVWvNIzVSc&t=147s&pp=ygUkUm9iIHNoZXJyYXJkIG1lcmNlZGVzIHNhdWJlciBvbmJvYXJk
What's your all time favourite track or rally car to drive?
For me, nothing comes close to the MG Metro 6R4 in EA WRC. There’s just something about how it just clicks with my driving style, along with that amazing sounding naturally aspirated V6. I can’t describe it, there’s just a mutual agreement between me and the car where it just works 🤣
Anyone else have a similar thing in other games or even EA WRC?
Who's playing Once Human here? Thoughts so far?
Seeing a lot of talk about this game- and surprisingly positive ones at that, too. I was planning to just watch and observe a bit before jumping in as I’ve made the mistake too many times of jumping straight into a game that turns out to be not ready or not what it said it was going to be.
Wow! Less than 12 hours and we've reached 58 members!
**Well that escalated quickly. ** Welcome everyone! 58 new members in such a short space of time is mad, wasn't sure whether lemmy held many people with sim racing interest but- looks like I was wrong! Feel free to post all things sim racing and sim racing. The whole idea behind this was to have an active space where we get to discuss this stuff!
Thank you for joining, and welcome!
Happy racing. Anyone got any clips of their gameplay to post?
Ford Escort MK2- awesome onboard footage - rally Wales
This is some incredible quality onboard video of Oliver Solberg (yes, son of Petter Solberg!) absolutely owning the Sweet Lamb stage of Wales Rally. I don’t think there’s much other on board footage that comes close to this one in terms of quality that gives us an insight into what those old school rally cars drove like.
Hats off to Oliver here, driving it like a man possessed and not missing a beat- also in manual as well! It always saddens me somewhat when they put sequential gearbox into these classic rally cars.
