Hot Lap Challenge | Round 4
  • Hey, it's technically ended, but I've not been well of late and haven't caught up with life enough to be sorting out the next one, so I'd be happy for you to submit an attempt over the course of this week :)

  • It's license renewal time and we're trying to cut back. It's not going well.
  • Pisses me off no end when companies cheap out on IT equipment. I work in a place where a large number of us will be on £35 - £55k, yet the IT budget for each of us is less than 1% of our salary over 3 years.

    It's crazy. Don't employ professionals then give them low end enthusiast gear.

  • That's a stonking lap mate. Hopefully I can find some time to attempt it later this week, but idk if that happens. I'd like to see what I can do with a better T1, Degna 1, and Spoon.

  • Hot Lap Challenge | Round 4
  • Just watched the video. Your line through turn 1 is lovely. I'll have to use that on my next attempt. I was amazed by how later you brake in to the hairpin, but then you locked up and I felt better about myself haha!

    Edit: I'm sad we're the only people attempting this one :(

  • Hot Lap Challenge | Round 4
  • Yeah, I'm definitely from the school of Jenson Button. You seem more Alonsp-esque, throwing the car in with more rotation on the wheel then letting the car grip mid corner.

    Things I'm taking from your video:
    -Degna 1 is flat holy crap.
    -Spoon cost me dearly.

    If I sort just those two things out, I'm easily on the 1.29.x range.

  • iRacing | The one where I DROPPED it - YouTube

    Another race for me in the MX5 at Rudskogen which started as well as it could and quickly went downhill from there.

    Can I recover and make it back to the podium postitons?

    Hope you enjoy it!

    No surprise there for the winner. Felt like an odd race, some really good passing, but somehow not that exciting.

    Thoughts?

    Rain

    We were going to make this a wet weather challenge, but wet weather requires paid mods. Please let us know if you're happy for that. We will write up a guide for this if we have a wet challenge.

    This one proved more popular! SimpleDev took the W with an outstanding lap.

    2023 Belgian Grand Prix | Sprint Race

    There's a delayed start to 17:05 local time. That's 35 minutes later than intended.

    This could be a very interesting one depending on what the very variable weather decides to bring today!

    2023 Belgian Grand Prix | Sprint Qualifying

    Who will take pole today? Why am I asking, we all know it'll be Max ahahah. Still, the battle for P2 could be interesting, right!?

    2023 Belgian Grand Prix | Qualifying

    Who will take pole position in today's qualifying? Will we see a surprise pole sitter? Will we get any running at all?

    I'm holding out for a competitive session, but I'd put it as 50/50 that it actually runs.

    2023 Hungarian Grand Prix | Race

    It's nearly time for lights out!

    Will Lewis be able to fend of Max? Can the McLarens move forward? Will the Alfas manage to stay high up the order, and can Danny Ric score points on his return to Formula 1?

    Find out all this and more, next time on Dragon Ball Z!

    Which sims do you own results.

    Hi all,

    Thanks for voting! The breakdown is as follows:

    !

    Surprised to see how low iRacing was here! AC, ACC, AMS2 and PC2 look to be the most popular track titles, with Dirt Rally 2.0 being the most popular rally title.

    Perhaps our hotlap challenge could have a short rally stage or two in it!

    Do you run a Custom ROM?

    Simple question really! Are any of you running a Custom ROM? Furthermore, are any of you running a De-Googled ROM?

    Why do you run your custom ROM, and what are the drawbacks?

    Which sims do you own?

    Hey all,

    Just a quick question to work out what sims we're all using here.

    Yes, I know they're not all technically sims, and that some of them are simcade, and some are arguably arcade. You know that's not what this is about haha!

    Yes, it's also very PC centric. Mainly because I only have a PC, but it seems that most sim racers are on PC too.

    So, I think we all hated the Audi, yes?

    Hopefully an old school F1 car on a modern classic track is a little more popular haha!
