Review from Sim Racing Paddock


978
Glad to make it in the end. The little guy fell asleep on the sofa so managed to jump straight into qually but didn't get too many laps done and started 10th.

Had a little battle with killa on lap 1 but then was hit from behind going into T1 on the second lap and lost about 8 places, was back in 19th. Someone apologied but unsure who it was. Was some good racing getting back through the pack and made up a few places, but being back there I wasn't able to put in a good lap time which then impacted my second race start position of 12th or 13th. Last night I did a 1:44.7 on the practice server so was hoping to be nearer the front.

Race 2 was good fun with a few good side by side battles with several people and I could spy my nemesis Mael close ahead. In front was a big group of cars but with my heavy restrictor I'd catch up through the first two sectors in the corners then loose them all again down the back straight. Somewhere nearing the end killa outbraked himself going down the inside of the last chicane and hit Diehard. I had to nearly stop to avoid it which lost the pack of cars ahead. Finished 10th but had hoped for a bit better overall.

School holidays next week so will miss the last round.

Probably gonna miss this one; little dude is unwell. May make race 2 but will see.

Lol, wouldn't help much Wally, they are Fanatec CSP's, which don't have pots but work by magnet sensors. I think the term is "Hall effect". For once I wish they had pots, much easier to fix.

Sounds like time for a pedal upgrade Rob!  8)

Here's a little preview of the wheel at the sim expo in Germany this weekend:

It doesn't look like it needs to go anywhere specific. It's just it's own windows app and you populate the IP addresses are ports. You may not be able to run it with stracker though, but I think stracker has a proxy feature so you'd need the details of that within this app.

Maybe good for practice, but some of us do get the occasional spikes that then settle down again so would suck to get kicked for that happening.

After doing a lot of practice during the week, but none on Thursday, I was just not as comfortable in the car as I had been, on race night  :'(
The highlight of the second race was coming up the startline straight with Joe on the inside , me overtaking Joe and Seanus overtaking me on the inside heading towards turn 1, I knew it would not end well.
Looking forward to Mosport.

Haha yeah you two buzzing past at such high speed was what made me look at my pedal app and see it maxing at 70% acceleration. One second you looked quite far back on the map and the next second you were right in my mirrors!

985
That was a shame. Got quite into the car in race 1 but race 2 felt wrong. Thought i didn't load setup initally but then after getting smoked down the straight realised my accelerator was only going to 70%... usually fixed by a quick replug so pulled over to do it but unplugged the wheel first by accident. Doing that looses all ffb and game needs a restart and was already a lap down so didnt seem worth it.

Believe Helicorsa works with VR, it's just you can't force the virtual mirror on.

As a separate issue:
I don't know who was doing the speaking on Teamspeak, but could you please keep your indignance and outrage for after the race, and do it here; or don't push your button and make your significant other listen to it. I know it's frustrating, but I'm not interested in hearing it during the race. I'm trying not to hit people, avoid accidents, and drive as fast as my slow arse can manage.
Cheers

If you mean me raging, Sorry, I very rarely speak during a race, it takes a decent grievance for me to speak up , but if it needs saying I will say it
I am sorry you cannot concentrate with some background noise, I have music blaring during a race and forgot not everyone does that

I agree with doobs here, and it wasn't you Phil; you waited till after the race. It was very early on. Not sure who it was as was a voice I didn't recognize. It sets up a negative atmosphere for the whole race.

Im just surprised mael lasted not 1, but 2 races without crashing.

989
Enjoyed that and did a lot better than I thought I would with the 87% restrictor.

Race 1 got a pretty good start, slight touch with someone of the second apex of the double apex at the bottom of the hill. Think I got past GymnasticHippo at one stage but he got the place back. I was on his tail as he seemed to be struggling more with tyres but I couldn't make a pass and finished 4th (I think)

Race 2 started 3rd and had a few people take me off the line, then went wide onto the sand a little on the double apex and lost several positions due to that but at the next corner there was a spin; think somebody hit Freezer and I managed to get around the outside and into 4th. Seanus gave a good chase and we had some good side by side battles for a bit but he eventually got me down the back straight as did AB. After that I stayed fairly close to AB with Freezer slowly catching me but managed to keep it clean and finish 6th.

Good results but probably not going to help me in the restrictor department for next week  :o

What the deal with cars this season? Do we stick with one the whole season, or mid season change, or can we just change whenever we want? I haven't tried the Mclaren; just jumped straight into the Lola for R1.
