BAM!!

​

I'm really looking forward to this season! I don't think I'll be able to make it to any races as I had hoped. The new McLaren is the nicest looking car so far, but I doubt it'll keep pace with it's looks. There will be growing pains, and the drivers know it.

Opinions on the new Sauber? I think the livery looks amateur, but it's likely that the sponsors that Felipe Nasr has brought to the team have led to the new livery.

I really hope Ricciardo can keep up his performance. Renault has claimed to have made big improvements on the power unit, so even though I'm a Hamilton fan, I hope Ricciardo can make it more competitive on a regular basis. Sunday is the start of winter testing!

And on the note of McLaren-Honda, I'm still working on that toon style MP4-4 I posted a few months back. My injury has pushed back any progress as of late, but textures are on the way! As it stands, base color textures are in progress for the gearbox and suspension. Base color textures are about 40% done.

Link works for me. If you want to get by all the swearing and room problems, racing starts at 28:25.

The lack of an H-gate shifter and clutch pedal is enough for me to bypass the 300. I've also heard from a couple folks I trust implicitly, who own or have owned a DFGT and a G27 and have had hands on experience with the 300 that it's almost as noisy as the DFGT. I'll grant the possibility exists the wheels could have been defective in some way and needed to be sent back but, their words are enough for me to say no.


What wheel are you using now, or have used?

 

[GTD_druid]

best wheel I bought t300rs, pedals massive let down but I have a very simple and cost effective solution. I got an adaptor shipped from across the pond were I know use my g27 pedals with the wheel, the company is called Ricotech for $20. I've had dfgt, g25 and 27 and I can categorically say they don't have patch on 300 it feels better you have alot more confidence in the feeling and it has definatley made me faster. The mechanism is not noisy. It is the cooling fan u can hear just like the ps3 gets louder but u dont notice it after a while

I recommend skipping to 59:25 to watch,that is when the race 1 redo starts and the other 2 races go off decently after that. It will get you by alot of stuff you dont really need to see.

Prize B New Car:Subaru Impreza TC

You can't just pick a car. Not quite yet. You, as the prize B winner can either:

1- Choose to freeze the car OR the track
OR

yaahh @CoachMK21 , iihaahh, whats toughless man? PP? Tires to use?Average lap time you archieved...

 

[watermelon punch]

You guys needs fixed host always solves the can't see others problem

Not necessarily true! It usually works, but it depends.

Was having problems last week w/ invisible cars. Multiple drivers couldn't see each other, though *I* could see everyone.

So I made a new room & put it on fixed host. My internet connection is (usually) excellent. (ie reliable)

I put the race on fixed host.
Everybody entered the track ---> NO invisible cars. (everyone saw total)
I started the qualifying...

Then when the race started there was a missing car on track on the grid.
I never saw this driver in the race. (empty spot on grid)

Others saw this driver in the race though. Just not me.
And I almost NEVER have had invisible car problems. (Even when other people have the invisible cars.)

So this happened AFTER the vision check came back everybody-seeing-everybody.
And I was the fixed host.

I've since gotten a new modem/router. And I've hosted on non-fixed host, and there was only one instance of someone having invisible cars, and it was fixed by that driver re-entering the room.

Seriously? WTH.

You need to check your racism at the door, @Schmiggz.

My goodness handle!!! Racism? Are you out of your mind?
I'll explain... at least here in Toronto, there's a saying that if you have any problem regarding electronic devices, you hire an Asian guy to fix it. Why? Because of an obvious stereotyped general opinion that Asians are amazing with electronics. That's all budz. No racism attached.

FYI:
Stereotyping is a result of racism.

EDIT: THere was also some sexism in that too.

It's not worth the effort Schmiggz. In some peoples undying efforts to be politically correct, they've effectively destroyed comic relief. If you so much as mumble somebody ethnicity, you'll be labeled a racist. Context doesn't matter anymore.

 

[STEAMER62]

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Just to let you all know, I am running a "mock" 30 Min race right now at La Sarthe. Room is now Open

Ok. He quoted me referring to the post by @GTD_druid, so that's why I thought that

I know, eh? But you know what? I fully understant how uncomfortable this matters still are to a lot of Americans as racism continues to be an enormous social issue in the United States.
In Canada we are way, way more free regarding that as racism is our social problem #563.05. Not our # 1 or 2 like over there.

I don't know; it reads to me more like Canada is just not aware, kind of like where it seemed the US was in my teens (ignorant about using stereotypes). Also, I don't think you can claim humor as a shield here. In order to do that there's gotta be some hint of something funny somewhere in there and while I can recognize that humor is subjective I don't think anyone would genuinely laugh at your stereotype. Honest question: where is the humor I seem to be missing there?

 

[Handlebar]

That is just it there really isn't any humor in this.

Any phrase that generally goes along with "Let the black guy do it" or the Hispanic guy or the Asian guy or "Have the woman do that stuff..." is probably not really humor or appropriate...

I just realized how pointless it is to try to explain racism or sexism in a post exist - intended or not - when someone can't see it in front of their eyes. Like explaining the color blue to someone who is blind.

Alright, I need to walk away from this one.

^^Generalization?

Not being nasty, just pointing out how easy it is to miss how often we do it. Even those who may think they don't generalize people, and certainly not by the color of their skin, because you know... that's a worse offense.
