I picked up Automobilista during the Steam sale, but I also wanted to pick up Assetto Corsa and I forgot. It's back up to regular price. Bummer.

its not that the 2nd tier sims necessarily have too much grip overall, its that they recover grip too quickly. | |

Well i know Tommy is a fan of these old fox bodies so i had to give this RaceRoom challenge a try. the track and car were both free to use during the challenge i started out in 404 place, then 276, then 192, then 97th, and finally ended up with this lap moving me up to 41st place! i lost probly half a second going too deep into the cork screw, but didnt feel like trying again. first lap is TV view, second (same) lap is cockpit view, sorry about the pixel look, its my stupid Pinnacle Studio software after doing some research this was actually Bruce Jenners race car, then i knew for sure this was for Tommy! |

As Cory mentioned earlier in the thread, give iRacing some time. I was lucky to have these guys to guide me and keep my cool in the beginning. Race a lot, race clean, worry more about racing clean than finishing position, and you'll do just fine. I started in September, and I'm B class now.

Neither Me (lost connection) nor Steve (DQed for not repairing car) were able to finish the CF Monza race. i felt like i could have finished mid pack. So "we" have sponsored a "second chance fun run" with the CF guys. Quote:

That sucks about the race, but I'll be available on Sunday to do the fun run. I won't be available tonight to host, but could tomorrow or Sunday. We should discuss plans on some endurance racing, too! |

I'm down for Sunday as well, hopefully. EDIT: Not feeling so great today, thought it was just the usual early morning stuffiness and scratchy throat but it isn't going away. Hoping it's just the change in weather, but strep and bronchitis have been going around here so we'll see. Last edited by hpiguy; 01-06-2017 at 09:33 AM. |

Congrats to wingnut for starting last and finishing first My video excuses: - was starting to move up. extra draft speed caused me to lock up. i could have made the corner had i been by myself, but in this case it would have meant taking out my teammate Steve. so i chose to go straight and miss him. - then i loop it -im 51 seconds back but holding pace. i held the 51 seconds for the duration of the race. -until i high centered |

I downloaded RaceRoom. I like the graphics. I first raced an Audi street-based car and I thought it was too easy. I lapped more than a couple AI cars in my very first race. It was nearly impossible to lose control of that car. All settings were default. Then I raced a more powerful car (offhand I forget which one) and I struggled with that thing. The traction was like a light switch. Either you had a ton or you had none. I'm definitely going to play around with it more. I like the hill climb races, but I only tried one or two and those are really tough without knowing the course. |

yes every car is SO different. i found the same to be true. some were too easy, some were well above my skill level. after our CF DP race last night i jumped on RR for a few and did the GTO challenge but picked the old Nissan(300zx?) this time. SO different than the mustang. it was hard for me to be as fast because power had to build. im more used to instant V8 torque when you back on it at apex. i havent got to try the hill climbs yet, but i like them. |

So apparently the base game of RaceRoom is free? Are you guys running free cars / tracks or did you buy stuff? Gonna try and get the AC challenge in before the cutoff today.
