Skip to the 32:00 minute mark. Small talk of iRacing possibly showing its face on PS4 & XBOX One. Nothing set in stone. But there is talk. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XFJt81g97k#t=1817">YouTube Link</a>

Nice.

Congratulations on that Red. Very impressive.

Not much racing going on over here. As JT would say. It's like a ghost town

Cool beans. And no, not surprised. Great achievement considering you jumped on the scene of iracing not too long ago.
 
Hey guys, I hope life is treating all of you well!!

I recently did an upgrade to my G27 pedals that I wanted to share with those of you with G27's. I installed the GTEYE brake spring. It's a progressive spring that changes rate the further you push it. It simulates the feeling of a real brake system that builds pressure as you press harder. It was super simple to install and made a huge difference in my braking. Instead of relying on how far you push the pedal to repeat braking, you can rely on muscle memory and how much pressure your foot encounters. They are real affordable, and I highly recommend that you guys do the upgrade!!

I did a couple other upgrades that some of you may like. When I had my pedals opened for the brake spring upgrade, I put the old brake spring on the clutch pedal and put the old clutch spring on the accelerator. Since the brake pedal is stiffer I didn't want to mash the throttle all the time because I was used to the heavy brake spring. I also inverted my pedals so they operate like a real car. Instead of going down into the floor as you press, they hang and feel just like a car. Since my racing rig is in a unfinished section of my basement, I hung the pedals on the wall. I switch the accelerator with the clutch and hung them upside down on the wall. I have a simulated floor board in my SIM that is 6" off the floor, so the pedals hanging on the wall feel perfect.

If anyone has questions, let me know. I'd be happy to post pictures if anyone is interested. I hope I didn't bore anyone too bad.

We now return you to your normally scheduled programming........(insert cricket chirping)

Thanks, I've been pushed into division 2. The level of competition is insane. I've learned to cherish every win. Because god only knows when the next one will be. I can seriously go 3 + months without one! I ended up wrapping up season 3 of the Grand-AM series (Daytona Prototype, McLaren) in 15th place out of 249 driving the McLaren. I was only able to mustard one win in the season. Not bad considering the competition. Being division 2, I end up running in the top split with the quick guys. I'm basically an average Joe amongst them!
 
I hear they removed the Delta Dong
I think ownership of "The Dong" changed which probably affects licensing I guess. I got to say it was probably in my Top Five to Drive.

Nurburgring crashes for 2013 what is it about that turn? Slight crest on the turn and cars lose traction?
 
Hey guys. Just checking in to say hello. Miss the race nights with you folks but my life turned into a big mess last month. Chaos. Lost interest in video racing and haven't played in weeks. A word to the wise to those with family...they need lots of real quality time.
 
Hey NCR, hang in there bud. I hope things work out for you. Family is much more important than video games. You know where you find us if you ever need to chat. Best of luck.

I'm really sorry to hear that, NCR. As Red said, family is WAY more important than some silly games.

I've been going through a tough family thing too, which is why I have not been around for a while. Although I did pick up F1 2013. Man, is that sucker tough. For me, losing my self in a game can be a nice relief.

Enough gloom, GT6 is out in about 3 weeks and I hope to see you wackos driving around shiny new cars on shiny new tracks. JT, please don't scratch my bumper. I think we may have to pay for repairs.

Ok girls. GT6 releases the 6th. Friday. Are we meeting to race online the 11th or the 18th? I propose that our first race utilizes the SLS GT3. Jersey Host will pick the track. I'm sure it'll be a sweeper track.
