Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Has anyone tried RaceRoom? Some of the cars and tracks are interesting, especially at the Black Friday pricing.

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

How about Lance Stroll? He's got a heck of a feel in the rain, it was impressive to see him run out into the lead before fading due to the dreaded graining (from front end damage, they claim). Great drives from everyone on the podium, refreshing to see Vettel with a solid run.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

Wow, I really haven't been paying attention. For some reason I thought the Xbox backwards compatibility was broader than it is, mostly with the original Xbox--there are a couple games I've held onto over the years (like Codemasters' IndyCar) in case I end up able to play them again down the road. Bu...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Oh, I noticed and purchased it.

Of course I also decided f it, let's try a GT3 in iRacing and instantly loved driving the Ferrari around Watkins Glen so I haven't done anything other than download ACC. But looking forward to spending time with it soon.

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

Bottas is no Rosberg, and I can't figure out if it is more damning for Bottas or praise for Rosberg. Maybe both. Over time I've forgotten about just how dominant some of the Schumacher/Ferrari years were, but at least some seasons had more variability than we see today. Part of that is from Ferrari'...

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

How about the opening few laps in Portugal? The onboard from Kimi's car was unreal, like he was playing with AI set way too low on a racing sim. Seeing Sainz zip past both Mercedes to take the lead, also unreal. Once the harder tires worked into their operating window the inevitable happened, but st...

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

It's wild thinking that next season's road courses could feature a 7-time NASCAR champ and the reigning 3-time Supercars champion in addition to Dixon, Newgarden and the rest of the deeply talented Indycar field.

I'm getting increasingly worried that Williams is going full pay driver next season, if Russell's seat is secure it seems pretty easy for it to be confirmed. Ready for the Indycar finale in St. Pete this weekend, if anyone is in the area let me know--my seats purchased for March's race will go unuse...

Anyone else think Racing Point is getting off easy following Stroll's positive COVID test? Seems like they were awfully reckless, at best.

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

I enjoyed some time with ACC on PC during a free weekend and now you guys have me wanting to play it some more. I'm desperately slow in sports cars on iRacing so this might be what I need to scratch that itch, hopefully it hits a Steam sale again soon.

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

It is possible, that yes, they really are that bent out of shape. Sounds like the team is still scarred by Arrow's extreme displeasure around Hinch's appearance in the ESPN Body Issue, so wrong comments at the wrong time while driving for the wrong team. So where could he land in 2021? Or more reali...

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

Obviously a whole hell of a lot going on in the background on this move, but Oliver Askew's dismissal from McLaren really stinks. Seeing a lot of "the team has thin skin" comments online and that certainly seems to be the case. And this following the team doing Hinch dirty last year with the "he's o...

Enough about Ocon, what do we make of Alex Albon at this point? Yes, he's a scrapper and Horner really seems to like that...but shouldn't he be fast enough in qualifying to avoid a majority of those scraps with lesser cars? In the end being Verstappen's teammate might be the equivalent to Spinal Tap...

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

For a few races now, I've been meaning to ask when Ocon is going to start blowing the doors off Ricciardo. His reputation, not to mention his chances of eventuality getting that Mercedes drive, surely depend on it. In the absence of that, his best chance would seem to be having a 2021 team mate who...

I missed most of LeMans, but saw the commentators getting dragged online all day and have to say...they did not prepare me for how dreadful they really were during the nighttime coverage I watched. Had a hard time getting as excited as usual for the race in general, some of that is due to the weakne...

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

Perez-to-Haas makes too much sense not to happen, right? Assuming nothing "better" opens up, but I don't know what that would be. Haas gets rid of Grosjean at a minimum (win), Perez stays in F1 (assuming win), and Haas presumably picks up some of Checo's sponsorship (big win). If Giovinazzi doesn't ...

Re: Racing Season 2020 (Spoiler Alert)

An awful lot of the folk suggesting red flag should have been thrown seem to further believe that NASCAR's approach to the final laps is the right one, as it promotes "real racing". If you didn't laugh, you'd cry. I have...a lot of opinions about what NASCAR's "sugar high" approach to racing has do...
