Well considering I've driven a Miata cup car, star Mazda, skippy, and currently a formula Renault. I think I could have a say on the Star Mazda and Skippy. As for the F1 car. I'm trying to talk to Mr. Nakajima to try and drive the 09 Williams for his comparison.

I'll report on how Motegi feels compared to the real version. Rounds 3 and 4 are at Motegi next weekend.
That is sweet!

I considered making a thread in the Motor sport forum. But just figured not many people would pay attention to it.

Its a series in Japan called Formula Challenge Japan. Uses a Formula Renault 2.0. And is designed to find the next Formula 1 driver for Japan.

On another note. Did my first iRacing race in awhile. Finished 7th. Dropped a wheel under braking and got a bit of damage from the wall. I think a 4th could have been achieved.

Did my first NASCAR A-Class race, was much slower than EVERYONE since I was running the fixed setup, but due to the nature of pack racing, I was in 4th under green around lap 45/70. In lap 47 there was an accident I got caught up in, flipped a few times, fun stuff. 12 minutes of optional repairs after 4 minutes required repairs. Ended up finishing 16th I wasn't expecting to finish 4th, but the pack I was in was a good 25-30 seconds ahead of the next pack, so I could have finished top 10 easy

It was AWESOME though, the cars are so easy to drive, that you don't have to worry about getting loose unless you really suck badly. So you can concentrate on the pack racing. I think I'll be racing this series as often as I can too

@Tyrgaus, Felt so great when I claimed my first wins in Oval & Road. Happened back-to-back too. So congrats!!!! May you experience many, many more

@superbike, you're doing pretty good yo I noticed your stats this morning when I saw you were online

@Kamuifanboy, that is very, very awesome! Can you tell me your youtube link so I can watch your videos?

edit -nvm, I just remembered you posted some HPD vids awhile back I'll get it that way

The last one I recall watching was the Skip Barber one a long time ago when I first started. Was really cool your times matched up (in iRacing and real life) from what I recall. If you ever do make a post let me know so I can check it out too.

make your own website, if you dont have already one, and keep posting updates there, then link them here with onboard video - just as i do after every race weekend.

On this note, i also may add, that im going to be running the 24h nurburgring race in an SP7 Porsche GT3 997

Sounds you're tight if its that easy to drive. To quote "Days of Thunder"
Cole Trickle: Whoa. Her ass is all over the place.
Harry Hogge: When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control.
Try letting it loose and see if you get around any quicker. I watch a lot of Nascar and they make it look like they are planted but the truth is, they fight to keep the cars nose going forward more than most people realize.

Yeah, I'm still new to NASCAR and oval racing in general. I figured it was so easy because it was the fixed setup, I'll try to hunt down a competitive setup in the forums since I know nothing at all about setting a car up for oval racing.

Thanks for the advice!

zedfonsie Honey badger don't care
So I have a tough choice, My parents are going to allow me to work at there shop for minimum wage (7.25$), at the end of July I will have gathered a little more then 1 thousand dollars.

What do I do with it? Do I spend it and make a great iracing computer?
I have an hp slimline right now with a 5450, I still get 80fps on medium settings and I have no plans on running triple screens.

Or I can buy gizmos and do-dads
Such as:
DSD seq shifter-150$
Csp v2-250$
Button box- 100$
Some iracing tracks/cars- 200$
Grant gt steering wheel-100$

Save the other 200$ for a new phone when my contract ends in october!

Gizmos. Computers are nice. But unless your looking at triple screens 2. I would pass for gizmos. Or possible just a bigger monitor if I've got a small old one. Feel always comes first to pretty ness



I don't have face book anyways. I would love for someone to print the solder picture
