Also another thing i saw (also from Nico on instagram) is that in the very sharp hairpins it helps massively to run an open diff (so at 10% diff lock in your MFD panel in F1)

[somber elbow]

Somehow doubt this'll really help frankly

I gave up on no ABS

I lock up way too frequently and there's no way around it

I guess I could change brake linarity

[jaunty crater]

im sure its more difficult on your controller

i dont think i could do it without adaptive triggers

my gas and brake pedal springs stiffen up when they are on the limit of breaking traction/locking up so i have a feel for it

im running the evil @pastel ocean FOV

[somber elbow]

Yeah i have no such liuxury

[somber elbow]

Actually I play in cockpit cam too now

I feel like it helps me better than the camera above

Oh and by the way

I've started my Team career mode

[misty elk]

I wish there was a steering wheel with adaptive pedals

Or ffb pedals or whatever

Pedals that act like how a real car would

[jaunty crater]

there are

load cell pedals

look it up

[misty elk]

How much are they tho

[jaunty crater]

expensive

[misty elk]

They’re probably ridiculous expensive

Like 1000s

[jaunty crater]

but Moza offers a load cell upgrade for their brake pedal for 40$

[misty elk]

Oh not bad

[jaunty crater]

but thats just for the brake

its still insane vfm tho

[misty elk]

Ah I’d want it for all lol

The ultimate driving feel

[jaunty crater]

to have 3 pedals youd have to just buy 3 brake pedal thingies

and change the springs to softer ones for the other 2

[misty elk]

Ah

[jaunty crater]

if you want to do it economically

otherwise idek how a good load cell kit costs

[misty elk]

I need to buy a whole setup when I have the money lol, flight sim and racing sim stuff

For flight sim I’ll need multiple controllers for different styles of aircraft

[misty elk]

£120 for Logitech RS

Only two pedals tho

75kg load cell & Hall effect

[misty elk]

Oh nvm clutch module sold separately

Fanatec CSL load cells is £180

Nvm €180

idk why but i have this little unwritten rule in GTA Online:

[somber elbow]

@jaunty crater I believe I've discovered the best way to play the game in a way that the difficulty feels correct and not unfair

I am doing a my team playthrough and our car is relatively on-par with Haas'

So I load up time trial, I choose the circuit and do a lap around it with the Haas, the best that I can

Then I enter my time into the machine, and whatever number it gives, I round it up to 5 and then add 15

So for example it gave me 62 for Bahrain

I rounded it down to 60, then added 15, to 75

And the AI actually felt appropirate

I was able to pace decently, and didn't fall behind or overperform

Via some great driving, I was able to get a P2. It was super lucky given Hamilton had a slow pit stop and I waas battling him hard beforehand

I am setting some of my best times now that I have a decent grip on the fuel management on this game

Essentially, on straights, I go into rich and use ERS, then around turns, ERS off and down to lean so I don't spin out

This helps massively on catching up and pulling away

Though it can't be overdone on the more straight based circuits like Vietnam or China given the battery would run out or my fuel would start to strain

Also, ABS is such a blessing. I could not drive without it on controller

I actually feel like I am starting to get a grasp

I believe I could add a bit more as well to the difficulty

Right now, it feels right

[fervent shoal]

I knew you'd find the way

Tweetman Steiner is sad to lose his star rookie tho

[somber elbow]

Not entirely lost still

Tweetman Steiner will rise again

I feel like I know the way now

[somber elbow]

Your confidence in me is astounding

I genuinely wish I could hug you right now

[somber elbow]

@fervent shoal a restarted Haas career mode, this time with K.Mag as my teammate
Australian qualifying went well, as did the practices. I could done it a bit cleaner, but I was able to qualify P11 for the race

I hope that is satisfactory Tweetman Steiner

[reef sleet]

At this rate. They'll add anything as long as the pay is good. Even if it's "Cringe"

[fervent shoal]

Just happy to have you back on the team

[jaunty crater]

Fortnite has always been cringe. Thats what makes it appealing and fun.

[reef sleet]

[jaunty crater]

its a game for kids mate

[somber elbow]

Definitely

[thin mesa]

[somber elbow]

Hehe, pleased to be back

[next crane]

i can hear the loud ass XMB (still the best XMB for me)

this game introduced me to Pendulum and i am forever grateful

[somber elbow]

@fervent shoal I messed up a bit today sadly

I qualified P11 for Australia and after a hard fought battle, was able to come ahead of Gasly in P9, thouygh it could have been P8 but I just had no chance agasint Albon's Red Bull

Then in Bahrain, I managed to qualify P7, and was able to get to P4 early on, battling with Ricciardo to hold that position, even after the pit stops, which somehow Charles was able to pass me through his pitstop somehow

Then a battle for P5 began, but sadly... disaster on the final lap

I had been running rich on the straights to try and keep ahead of Ricciardo and Perez, but then my fuel ran out on the 2nd to final straight, and so many cars passed me by

Ended up sadly finishing in P14

Shameful honestly, I really could have had a top 10 finish had I been running my fuel setup better

The whole weekend was going so well and then the race went like that

Being a driver at Haas is rough. We really need better ERS too

So far at least 2 points

[fervent shoal]

Wait what?

Is this real?

The graphics look so real

[jaunty crater]

just wait till you hear about my imola

i was third the whole race with the wets my team told me should go to the end

last lap i got a puncture turn 3

dead last after that

[somber elbow]

Daaaamn. Now that's unfortunate

So you've had similar blunders too

[jaunty crater]

nothing you can do really

i dont even blame it on me my tire died and my engineer never told me about an alt strategy or that i need to pit

[somber elbow]

It's hard not to want to push to keep that high position you know?

[jaunty crater]

i had to push 200% because the car is so shit i have to defend every turn after a straight

[somber elbow]

Very weird. Mine is very vocal about alt strategies

[somber elbow]

Hehe, yeah I am a similar situation. It could have been a top 10 finish for us both if we had stopped pushing

[jaunty crater]

generally is yeah, this race he just told me you can go to the end and forgot about me

[jaunty crater]

@somber elbow this is probably the best lap ive done in monaco, and coincidentally its the first time pierre made it out of Q1 too xd

[somber elbow]

Interesting bad luck then

[somber elbow]

Holy crap, P2 at Monaco, that's some impressive work

I am definitely moving to Alpine for 2021

[jaunty crater]

its just Q1 so i gotta do the same in Q3

ok mini we might just have pole position

holy fuck what a lap

theres 3 you can get for your 10 million+ dollar mansion

you have Angel (the girl from the clip) who is very sexual.

theres Haviland who is just a usual butler and stuff calls you sir

then theres OG constantly using Street slang and calling your character "brah" or "sis"

[sick pagoda]

Gooner game

[median mortar]

Gooner game

[somber elbow]

@jaunty crater I think I've figured out a bit to be a bit faster. I needed more straightline speed. I went for a more speed focused setup for Australia and the drivers behind couldn't catch up even with DRS

The Haas has no downforce or nimbleness

[jaunty crater]

i was talking about it with a friend that has been playing 2019

[somber elbow]

So may as well focus more on the straights so I can either gain or not lose positions there which is more typical to happen and ahrder to defend

[jaunty crater]

apparently in 2019 and 2020 the game doesnt automatically choose the best downforce setup for the circuit

[somber elbow]

So if I can keep positions on the straights

[jaunty crater]

you have to do it manually

[somber elbow]

Corners are easier to defend

By the fuck, FUCK ALBON

that fucker nearly destroyed my car with his fight through a corner

[somber elbow]

Oh no they don't. It's your choice what you go for. One of the practices even demands you change setup

Safe to say, I'll be running more speed for Australia, Bahrain and Vietnam for now

I'd say china too, but China's first sector is far too technical

And its 2nd sector

Essentially, the rule of the thumb is that if the first and final sectors are more straights than they are corners, it's better to run a more speed based setup

At least in the haas which has no performance, but a decent engine it does have

[jaunty crater]

might have to look up a guide or something with what wing setup to run on which track

its something most teams irl agree on so it wouldnt be debatable on what suits someone

[somber elbow]

I want to, but at the same time It'd feel liek cheating

[jaunty crater]

i mean it kinda isnt, youre the driver your team should do it for you

in the new games it automatically selects the optimal wing

[somber elbow]

Guess this game leaves that up to the drivers

Wonder if that's how things were back in 2020

[jaunty crater]

i mean in 80% of the tracks id argue it has always been the same

theres a few on the calendar where youll see teams debating between low df and medium

[somber elbow]

Yeah I can imagine

[jaunty crater]

but something like monaco

[somber elbow]

I think it's also car dependant

[jaunty crater]

its the track where you must run very high df

[somber elbow]

yeah i definitely will

[jaunty crater]

every team runs it, if im not mistaken monaco spec wings are special

[somber elbow]

that's actually explaiing alot

Regardless, the Haas that we run definitely prefers a speed setup so far

So that's what I'll go for in Bahrain and Vietnam

Also, as fun as Vietnam's first couple sectors are, the final ones are hell

That final turn, just pure hell

[jaunty crater]

i mean vietnam and baku are super high speed tracks right

they have huge straights

so it makes sense

[somber elbow]

You can't be fast enough and also make the turn withoyt crashing into the walls
Was it so hard to give us some run off area Vietnam?

Yeah I definitely made a mistake before running high downfroce there

Baku's castle section and Veitnam 3rd sector aren't technical enough to warrent going for anything besides high speed

i am sorry eitherway Tweetman

I kept fucking up

I'll see if I can improve a bit in the first 5 races before I say I did well

I managed to barely finish P4 in Australia

Leclerc had engine failure and Albon was pestering me all the way through the last couple laps

[jaunty crater]

i mean you could without issue just remove vietnam from the calendar

F1 never managed to race there after all

we dont know it might have been a disaster track

[somber elbow]

Well I can't change the calender to remove selec trakcs unless I am running specifics

[somber elbow]

Frankly feels like it would have been a worse Jeddah

[jaunty crater]

oh i thought after your first season you can do a custom calendar

[somber elbow]

You probably raced there

[somber elbow]

I have yet to finish my first season..

[jaunty crater]

yeah i did play on it a few times in 2020

never particularly stuck with me though

its forgettable as a circuit imho

[somber elbow]

I am surprised it never got used at all post 2020

Like it feels like a cucking situation

They paid FIA to have it on 2020 Calander
Why couldn't it be included in 2021

[jaunty crater]

not really, they couldnt race in 2020 for obvious reasons, and then the circuit was abandoned by vietnam themselves

it was lack of maintenance and abandonment that lead to it never being included in the calendar

[somber elbow]

Damn, a case of bad luck and never caring afterwards

[jaunty crater]

its fully abandoned now afaik

[somber elbow]

I guess nothing of value was lost at least

It's not fun to drive around

[jaunty crater]

the tracks that are truly missing from the calendar imho are turkish gp and malaysia

[somber elbow]

I'll see how un-fun tracks can be once I get to Sochi
The most infamous modern F1 circuit

[jaunty crater]

at the very least those two

[somber elbow]

Don't forget the Nurburgring GP

[jaunty crater]

but you could argue for hockenheim, valencia, jerez, other classics

nurburgring at least is very popular in endurance

[somber elbow]

so are the others no?

Turkish GP is a very active circuit

[jaunty crater]

it is yes but as far as wec goes i think the lemans 24 and nur24 are probably the most popular races all year

[somber elbow]

Of course

Hard to compete with those classics

I hope we can do decently here

so that when I retire to play Le Mans ultimate

I can do decently

[jaunty crater]

thats a game i really wanna play lately too

ive recently been very into hypercars

[somber elbow]

Le mans ultimate had alot of doubts surrounding its release

Like it was very frowned upon

But it actually ended up being pretty great after it was released

the polar opposite of Project Car 4

[jaunty crater]

sure, but now i only hear the best

[somber elbow]

They just look way too cool

[jaunty crater]

like after iracing (which lacks variety and is too sweaty/professional) to have lemans ultimate as the second most realistic wec game is crazy

also they have actual endurance online events which you can take part in for free...

[somber elbow]

God bless

An actually enterable sim game

What a rarity

[jaunty crater]

yeah its a diamond in an otherwise bucket full of shit

[somber elbow]

Mmhm, a shame really

But at least le Mans ultimate proved us all wrong

And made something fun

Hopefully for it to grow ever bigger

To me, the F1 games are the standard of what sim games should aim for

Content for both offline and online

I want to see the same come for Le mans Ultimate

[jaunty crater]

i raced them in grid autosport, and also bought the '21 #7 toyota hypercar in gran turismo, man what a beast

[somber elbow]

If only there was a good game that had all of tehm

Thankfully, Le Mans ultimate exists

I definitely wanna drive the Alpine, the Ferrari, the Peugeot and the Lamborghini

Spanish Grand Prix, Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, 1993

The race began with two bangs. The one worth mentioning the most was me climbing the entire pack from dead last all the way to first in 3 laps, all in my slow ass Jordan 193. The other bang was me hitting the brakes way too late into the Repsol corner in the first lap, ramming Fabrizio Barbazza and his Minardi M193 into the dirt. Barbazza did not recover from this blight at all.

I was let off with a slight warning

At Lap 40 I drove into the pit lane and dropped to 4th place, behind Alain Prost, Damon Hill, and Ayrton Senna, before coming out with a fresh set of tires. I recovered my lead within the exit lap.

At Lap 56 I finally had a chance to lap Erik Comas in his Larrousse LH93, but not without him spinning me out on the way out of the Würth corner. I somehow held onto my lead, and managed to lap Comas once again at Lap 58.

Comas would attempt to clip me through the Europcar corner within the lap, but I maintained momentum.

The race ended after 62 laps. I claimed 1st place and shared the podium with both Williams drivers.

Johnny Herbert set the fastest lap at just under 1 minute and 24 seconds.

My teammate Rubens Barrichello managed to climb from 19th all the way to 15th by the end of the race

Also watching myself utterly destroy Barbazza from Philippe Alliot's perspective is pretty funny

I will post in #1168676455346098216 tomorrow

ALESI HAS FUCKED UP

Said Murray walker

[somber elbow]

@jaunty crater @fervent shoal Things are finally looking up, hehe

I don't think I overperformed honestly. I was on as high a difficulty as before, and I just managed to do so well with the tune I had and pulled away from Verstappen behind me
Leclerc overtook Max before safety car, and then he broke my front wing on the 2nd to final lap
I didn't stop attacking and got back my 3rd, and Charles fell back to 5th and Lando took 4th

I had qualified 3rd too. This circuit just really suits the Ferrari PU

It's the best one this season

[jaunty crater]

That’s very well done

Also I imagine the Mercedes fucked off in the distance as they should in 2020 lol

But anyone else is beatable

[somber elbow]

Hehehe, yeah after first turn, they began to pull away. To be fair, I almost had hamilton after the safety car restart, but I just felt like it'd be needless risk and defending it would be difficult

We went nearly 3 wide into the first turn

[somber elbow]

I schooled Max today lol

He annoyed me on the first couple laps

But after pit stop, I truly fucked off lol

This engine is soooo good

It truly is the only thing giving the Haas any advantage

[jaunty crater]

Man max in 25 they’ve turned him into a monster especially in the rain

The mclarens are 99% of the time too fast

[somber elbow]

I've heard AI is broken in Rain in 2025

[jaunty crater]

But as soon as there’s a drop of rain that guy gets 10 fastest laps in a row

[jaunty crater]

Yeah they are fucking fast, you chew up tires if you don’t drop back in clean air

[somber elbow]

Very odd then

I hoped they would have fixed it by now

[somber elbow]

Max is very overrated then xd

He was barely that fast in actual 2025

But that's F1 2025 I suppose

Fine game overall

But the balance is skewed in the Mclaren and max favor

[somber elbow]

I think I made history here too, given Haas I don't think has ever had a podium

[finite barn]

Canadian Grand Prix, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, 1993

The Canadian skies threatened rain for most of the race, but began to part about 25 minutes away from the final lap.

I took extra caution overtaking Fabrizio Barbazza after our snafu in Barcelona, then quickly made my way through the pack. Once again, I reached 1st place by Lap 3.

I witnessed Riccardo Patrese hitting the Wall of Champions and dropping from the visible grid on my end, but did not see how many times he had hit the wall until after the race.

This misfortune left Michael Schumacher to carry the Benetton torch until the very end.

As a matter of fact, quite a few drivers seemed to be magnetized towards the Wall of Champions. Alain Prost and Damon Hill had a particularly rough race after their great success in Barcelona.

McLaren, on the other hand, had a much better run here than in Barcelona, with both their drivers finishing on the podium. Interestingly enough, Michael Andretti outperformed Ayrton Senna, finishing in 2nd with Senna in 3rd.

The race ended after 63 laps, and I finished in 1st place once again.

Johnny Herbert once again set the fastest lap in his Lotus, with a time of 1 minutes and 22 seconds.

Rubens Barrichello improved slightly on his Barcelona results with a 14th place finish.

This under the bridge shot is one of my favorites; Polyphony COOKED with the cinematic replay for this track

Prost started in 1st, but fell a bit behind after me and Michael Schumacher, and this NASTY double overtake by his teammate Damon Hill

However, it was with this first hit into the Wall of Champions that Prost's falloff began

And it was even more heartbreaking to watch it in the replay, because it was here I found out that it was not one single crash that fucked up his race...

...but SEVERAL

[finite barn]

thank youuuuuu 🙏

[distant mica]

And I was not immune to the crashes either, I hit a wall within the esses in Lap 11 and dropped to 5th, spending the next few laps trying to close the distance on Michael Schumacher

[somber elbow]

God these cars look sooo good

[distant mica]

I found it funny that the Sauber and Minardi cars from that year were basically inverted color schemes of each other

Sauber with the black body and white wings

And Minardi with the white body and black wings

[somber elbow]

Yeah it's very odd honestly

Given how we're typically used to seeing Minardi be black

[distant mica]

I bet Prost was wondering where he was, doing double takes everywhere

"What the FUCK is a Larrousse"

"Who the FUCK is Philippe Alliot and why am I defending my position from him💀"

And Rubens' POV had to be hilarious too

"HOLY SHIT IS THAT A WILLIAMS WHAT'S IT DOING ALL THE WAY BACK HERE"

[somber elbow]

Hahaha

These cars are perhaps overperforming a bit

@fervent shoal @jaunty crater Never mind, this is our best result yet! A first, in a Haas!
We had a great time in qualifying somehow, and I defended like a freaking lion on the last couple of laps. Holy shit Leclerc was on a charge too
Best part? Lewis waas being an absolute bitch attacking me for 1st through the post pitstop laps
However, I ended up unintentionally spinning him out due to him brake checking me and then got stuck and got disqualified. Oh my god is it so good to see. We almost got a podium without Mercedes, but Valterri took 3rd from Max. The Mercedes is just unstoppable

[distant mica]

But yeah

Canon Williams been moving more like Atlassian Williams today in Montreal

[somber elbow]

Hehehe

Perfect

Thank you guys

[somber elbow]

I was able to take the 2020 Williams onto Albert Park and get a P9 courtesy of Max DNF'ing

After a rather slow qualifying no less at P18

And on the 95 difficulty rating

[jaunty crater]

little update on the rivalry

tsunoda got gapped, now need a few more points to dust hamilton as well

[somber elbow]

Damn man

So you can have more than one rival

Man I am jealous

[somber elbow]

You know the worst feeling playing an F1 game for me?

If I do badly, I get depressed
If I do well, I believe I underscored the AI and got a cheap victory and still get depressed

I have never felt a difficulty rating judge me so badly..

[jaunty crater]

yeah, tsunoda immediately got replaced by antonelli as my rating rival

hamilton is my points rival, since by round 13 ive somehow managed to pull 3 wins off my ass

silverstone went extremely badly though

i had forgotten how shit our engine is

got a harsh reminder

[somber elbow]

I genuinely don't understand you

Or how you play

You play on the ahrdest possible conditions

You dont' use flashbacks much

Still get wins and good results and also extremely bad results all the same

You're playing an actual F1 experience

While I feel like I am doing a make belief

[jaunty crater]

i use like 3-4 per race on 25% length

most uses are because the AI still doesnt have good room awareness and sometimes they just bash you for no reason

[somber elbow]

mine is usually 10 at least

[jaunty crater]

idk man im not doing what youre saying

[somber elbow]

Reaosn being I somehow lose traction at a certain corner and then spin out when I didn't two laps ago

[jaunty crater]

i enabled TC even, because my friends play with it on so im using the same settings for offline and online to not overload my brain

[somber elbow]

You were playing without ABS and TC though

[jaunty crater]

im still playing without ABS

[somber elbow]

I had to turn ABS back on

[jaunty crater]

no abs is easier than tc off

imho

[somber elbow]

You're right

Without TC it's so easy to spin out

Sooooo so insanely easy

[jaunty crater]

the AI have bullshit levels traction in rain post 80 difficulty

[somber elbow]

How do F1 drivers drive these cars man...

[jaunty crater]

well they dont use controllers thats for sure

[somber elbow]

They make it harder for themselves

and still outclass us

I know we're never gonna be on par with F1 drivers

[jaunty crater]

a pedal has 1000x the precision potential of a trigger

[somber elbow]

But I think I've gone into genuine seasonal depression

[jaunty crater]

also youve been playing for not even a month

theyve been at it since 3-4 years old

[somber elbow]

No they havent

[jaunty crater]

yes they have, since 3 and 4 their goal is f1

[somber elbow]

I don't mean it like that

I mean that they do it anyway

They just do it

[jaunty crater]

they are 18 with 14 years of experience

[somber elbow]

IF Max can do a fast lap on game as well as he can in real life

there's no excuse

[median mortar]

They ain't even tryna hide it anymore

[jaunty crater]

did you see him do it on a controller

[somber elbow]

I bet he could just as easily

[jaunty crater]

not really, most drivers arent good at games just simulators

[somber elbow]

Man...

I genuinely think I am close to wanting to off myself

So it's not even my fault?

It's the system's fault that I am so slow?

[jaunty crater]

theres a reason in a 100 person leaderboard theres not more than 5 controller players

[median mortar]

I can't drive on wheel in games

[somber elbow]

Then I just don't understand..

I've restarted my career like 4 times by now

Every time it felt undeserved

I don't like this, I hate it infact

[jaunty crater]

idk man all that difficulty changing and stuff

[somber elbow]

THE GAME JUDGES ME

[jaunty crater]

i dont do that

i changed it once

70 to 85 after the first race

[somber elbow]

This is fucking retarded man...

[jaunty crater]

gonna keep it for the season

[somber elbow]

I can't have shit

[jaunty crater]

if you lets say

put AI on 110

full race length

and race on a haas in 2020

or alpine in 2025

you realistically will have a season best result of 17th

if youre lucky

[somber elbow]

This is what I don't understand

Why do we have difficulty ratings

[jaunty crater]

idk man sounds miserable to me

[somber elbow]

When 100 and 110 isn't realistic even

The game is just horribly out of balance

The Mercedes are fast, but am I outpacing the Red Bull

[jaunty crater]

the game operates on hypotheticals from the previous season

[somber elbow]

Hell, I don't understand if I am even faster or if I am just holding the grid up

[jaunty crater]

noone in 2020 knew the redbull would come back from the grave

[somber elbow]

in F1 2020 Red Bull are always 2nd best

[jaunty crater]

in 2025 the game thinks the redbull sucks

because it sucked season end of 24

and that the ferrari is second fastest car

[somber elbow]

so the games aren;t even accurate to their own year?

Isn't that the point of the patches?

[jaunty crater]

while ferrari irl flopped and were at most 4th fastest

[jaunty crater]

patches balance the cars for time trials, online play, next season careers etc. A career is randomized on some level

otherwise everything would be scripted to what happened in real life, plus your driver'

[somber elbow]

It just doesn't make any sense

I think this is less so an issue with the games

and the real sport in general

Why should teams like Sauber or Haas even race

When they're permanantly useless additions to the grid

[jaunty crater]

even 9th to 8th place in WCC has a huge difference in payout

[somber elbow]

It's not even worth it

i'd be frankly depressed even if I was being paid to compete

There's no point in F1 unless you're aiming for WDC or WCC

And whatever money the teams get paid to compete next year rthey've already paid to even be in F1 to begin with

I'm driving a Haas, outpacing a Red Bull somehow

And I still feel like shit, and I'd feel like shit with their real useless performance as well

I don't understand the point of F1 anymore..

I think F1 2020 has genuinely made me lose my nerves

I don't understand anything anymore..

Why would any player even choose to play as the backmarker teams...

You would only buy these games to play with Ferraris and Mercedes and Red Bulls..

I need to play the championship mode..

@jaunty crater I am sorry

[jaunty crater]

rip rivalry

ooo which team this time?

do i...

[somber elbow]

not sure if I would

You're doing pretty well at Alpine

[south prism]

Am I allowed to share my game here? I have a racing game releasing soon on Steam that I'd like to share with you guys

[somber elbow]

Mods, what do you think?

[jaunty crater]

i wish you the best with your game but i think thats stretching the rules a bit too much id rather you don't

if it was an active member i'd look past it but i'm fairly certain your main goal by chatting here is to promote yourself

[south prism]

no worries

[somber elbow]

We've been having some great results with the Force India Championship. I love this team, the car is just the perfect amount of competitive to keep things interesting @jaunty crater @fervent shoal @pastel ocean

At Zandvoort, due to a bad pitstop, I lost my podium qualifying, though I went on a charge to nearly overtake Charles for P4, but sadly I could only do as well as P5. My teammate however, Sergio managed to get to 3rd perhaps based on my mistake, and ten went on to score a beautiful podium for us. I love this circuit, it's definitely a favorite of mine

And the good news don't stop there either

Another podium for me at Spain, after I managed to overtake Albon and Hamilton via a safety car through a pitstop. That was an intense fight ngl

and the best of the bunch perhaps, turning down difficulty and enjoying a dominant ride to our first win at Monaco

[fervent shoal]

Wooooo

[finite barn]

Nima is cooking rn

[fervent shoal]

And here I am, spending over an hour failing and circuit Gilles-Pisses-Me-Off-eneuve on Gran Turismo

Can't get this SF23 better than fifth in the weekly challenge race here I'm so TIRED of every corners utter bullshit at this stupid hateful little mountain bike track

[somber elbow]

Man I get what you're going through

[somber elbow]

Thank youuu

[somber elbow]

Hehehe
This is me right now then

https://tenor.com/view/fernando-alonso-fernando-alonso-cooking-alonso-gif-3623929366175175004

It's hard to be competitive

That's what I've noticed most today

The RP20 is truly leagues above rhe Haas and the Alta

You don't think the car is actually that much better

But then you actually drive it and Holy shit

The Haas was a pain to get through any circuit

This thing? It keeps up with the best of cars

The Ferrari powered cars are really bad in F1 2020

The Ferrari itself has alot of understeer too

The Mercedes, Red Bull and Racing Point are in a league of their own with how good they are

Safe to say, I'm never trying to overperform a backmarker car again

Also I noticed one thing which is rather funny about the Williams

While every car has the digital display set on the steering wheel
The Williams is instead static and set behind the steering wheel

Makes it hard to read with how far away it is

The Williams really is a poor team

[fervent shoal]

Hopefully someone in a faster car than the Haas picks you up

I just wanna be competitive in formula cars. It's the freaky inboard suspension systems I just CANNOT wrap my head around that Super Formula car.

Ill obliterate everyone at my level in a jag e type or a Renault Avantime or a Hyundai Ioniq 5n, and I'm on the pace in all the classic racing cars up to LMP1 and Hypercar... But can I get within a second a lap of what I need in formula cars? Not a chance

[somber elbow]

Yeah it just makes my head spin

[somber elbow]

Open wheelers are truly a league of their own

They function so dissimilar to other cars

It makes my head spin

Hence why I gave up on driving without assists
It just isn't fun

[somber elbow]

Yeah I hope so. I hope for 2021 season i get picked for Alpine

I love their car's design and also just how much more consistent they are

[fervent shoal]

The GT assists slow me down so so so much and won't stop you from spinning out on wheelspin.
Polyphony really make a choice to make them training wheels, that you really need to take off to be competitive. I just need to Get Good

[fervent shoal]

Ooh I hope there is digital Alpine chaos that would be amazing!
Was 2021 the year random celebs started investing or was it 2024 🤣

[somber elbow]

Hehe

I think it was primarily 2024

When F1 came to Miami and Vegas

That was when it got espiecally bad

[somber elbow]

I could be the driver to either replace Ocon or Alonso or Ricciardo, hehe

One thing is for sure

Now I understand that if I do a career of Haas

I am very rarely gonna get into points

I should get used to the subpar performance and not being able to keep up with better than P12 or such

A point finish here and there is possible

But I'd need to overfuel the car so that it can actually go somewhat fast on straights

Oh you know I have an idea

I'm gonna overfuel more frequently

[fervent shoal]

Roll with your options, you're not gonna be rookie winner with the Haas, you just need to look good enough to move up

[somber elbow]

Exactly

Unless I'm brave and stupid enough to want to turn Haas into the next 90s Williams lol

But nah, Haas is hopeless mostly

Unless we can upgrade the car enough for 2021
I probably won't stay with them

I could be the earlier version of Ollie Bearman lol

[pastel ocean]

are you turning lance stroll into a competent, much less hateful driver? well done mate sounds like you've had some good battles

[somber elbow]

Heheh
Thanks so much FC
I've been doing my best
And indeed I am making Lance into an A-tier driver

Both me and Sergio are pulling RP into 3rd in constructors

[somber elbow]

@pastel ocean @fervent shoal @jaunty crater Today was a great day for us at Racing point. I managed to fight Hamilton for P2, then Valterri had an engine failure when he was P1, and so we got promoted. And later, Perez was able to overtake Hamilton into turn 1. I saw the chance and decided to lose my P1 to help defend Perez agasint Hamilton, as I had alot more energy. I gifted this win to Perez, but honestly he deserved it for making it from P4 into P2 during the pure chaos of lap 1. A double podium finish for Racing point at the Baku GP

we had a stroke of luck at Canada too. I managed to hold onto P3 agasint valterri, who had another engine failure and retired, so I didn't have to defend agasint the next car, being Ricciardo. but then the weather worsened and it began raining. Max who was in P2, began to struggle to keep his 2nd place, as I overtook him into the final chicane on the 2nd to last lap, scoring a second place finish. Our car is brilliant in the rain. Lance really is a rain master now

[drowsy grove]

truckin

[next crane]

i cant get over how detailed this engine is

this here roblox game has more detail than Forza Motorsport from 2023

like zamn

[wraith crescent]

haven't played mrt in so long, is it still good

or still best car game on roblox

[next crane]

FUN FACT: not MRT

also fun fact: yeah MRT is actually even more peak than before

[somber elbow]

jesus christ

[next crane]

new update really pretty :)

[finite agate]

How does this increase defense

[somber elbow]

Eyy, ironic timing

[somber elbow]

Not as impressive of a time on France's circuit. I have never driven around that circuit in fairness, so I was very new to it, and I did manage to make decent overtakes into P7, but that was the best I could do there. Austria however, it began raining in the race, and I helped Sergio get to the podium with me by defending agasint Bottas who was inbetween us

Silverstone wasn't such a good time however. Don't know, the maggot and beggets bit I could just not get it right

[somber elbow]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/F1Game/s/8Uphgm9rL4

The way the debris flew over from offscreen lol

[somber elbow]

Qualifying was less than stellar, and the Hungaroring isn't a favorite circuit of mine
But I managed to score an unexpected win. Yay

[fervent shoal]

FOHHHIN RENALT CLIO MATE YESSHHHH

[finite barn]

[fervent shoal]

Abused so many coppers with that beast

[somber elbow]

Euyy, beautiful

[somber elbow]

Seems like we might have a decent season. We are able to put up a fight but not too much so. Vertsappen had a seriously bad pit time strategy which put him from P3 into P13

[formal kayak]

Oof

[somber elbow]

Indeed, I was shocked to see him in the pits after everyone had already pitted

He either had a very late pit and stayed out too long on his first stint tires

Or he had some sort of damage, likely to his front wing in a collision with the Mercedes guys, and had to come in for repairs

[formal kayak]

You did decent btw

[somber elbow]

hehe, thanks alot man. This might be the best result we get honestly

The car is quite slow

[formal kayak]

Upgrade heh

[somber elbow]

Yeah we upgrade it as much as we can

Upgrading the engine, durability, chassis and aero

But the gap to the race winning teams is quite a bit\

Hopefully we can do well enough

[formal kayak]

Good luck

These games are a lot of grind

[somber elbow]

Indeed they are...

Makes you feel insane for trying this hard

[finite barn]

Man im gonna miss this game for sure

[distant mica]

I don't have enough space on my phone to play that now

[somber elbow]

A shame that like 90% of the content of the game will be inaccessible now that the servers are gone

[reef sleet]

I ain't gonna miss it

[finite barn]

i didnt play the game at all for years

only came back because of them going

[reef sleet]

Hey looking on the bright side they got No Limits to Milk the shit out of anyway 🤣

[somber elbow]

Hehe

Very sadly true

[distant mica]

Maybe this'll be an opportunity to take the Real Racing name and make it a proper console/PC title

Then again it's EA so it might still be shite

[finite barn]

True

[jaunty crater]

i dont think its returning, they had a project called real racing next and it was recently found that it was scrapped

[somber elbow]

I sadly don't see it returning either. Not only that scrapped project, but also the fact that Real Racing as a whole had been held on by hopes and dreams primarily for such a long time.

[jaunty crater]

hopes a dreams i wouldnt say, id argue it was the insane amount of microtransactions required to play the game properly (remember, just because most people with a brain jailbreak it, doesnt mean that is the intended player experience)

[somber elbow]

Oh I don't disagree. Real Racing 3 was one of the first examples to lean so heavily into the whole Microtransactions system so far in.

It was practically baked into the game's DNA. And it is a big reason of why it was kept going for so long, and not getting a Real Racing 4 because of it.

It is a shame honestly, cause I still consider Real Racing 3 a genuinely good mobile racing game, especially in the niche of track racers on mobile devices.

But it and NFS No Limits had to suffer so much because of the practices EA was following. And still follows no less.

Just with No Limits and NFS Mobile China now.

[jaunty crater]

its all the same

RR3 did it, No limits did it, asphalt did it

practically every single mobile game worth a dime does it

[somber elbow]

Indeed, that whole period began with it it seems. As soon as mobile devices got good enough to get such high fidelity games, so came the horrible practices.

And now, no Mobile Game on earth is free from it. Partially because the games are free, but also because there's no real profit otherwise.

Even paid video games do micro transactions now, so even that cannot be excused.

I remember someone under a YouTube short announcing the ending of Real Racing 3 saying something in the lines of:
"I have been playing the game for 8 years, and I have still not been able to finish the campaign."

[jaunty crater]

i dont know what it requires you to do

but thats just terrible practice

[somber elbow]

I believe the campagin, from what my memory can recall, was primarily you being put in normal racing scenarios, circuits, laps, drag racing, and such to complete them.
Requiring you to upgrade your car as you went on to stay competitive.
But the game was also with its own fuel system, which meant you couldn't grind.

And I recall in high definition, that as soon as I finished the first chapter of the campaign, and ran out of fuel during the second chapter, the fuel prices went up tremendously to refuel instantly.

The game's mechanics are very predatory, very slimy and deceptive.

Like you said, while an average player with a brain would know not to spend over 5 month on a mobile game just to drive a particular car, the average player, being children primarily, will fall victim to these practices.

[sick pagoda]

🤌

[jaunty crater]

cumworthy car

excuse my horniness its just for the vantage i promise

[sick pagoda]

i feel you bruh

[somber elbow]

That's a tight road.

[misty elk]

UK moment

Some of our roads are tiny

Can barely even fit one car down some of them

[somber elbow]

If the real roads are anything like this, driving there would prove quite challenging.

[misty elk]

Eh tbf we do have our fair share of wide roads

So driving here ain’t that bad

Just don’t go into the countryside unprepared

[left token]

An affordable dream

[somber elbow]

Fair enough. I should keep an eye out.

[somber elbow]

Affordable and beautiful. One day. Aston Martins deappreciate so nicely.

[left token]

I think that's the cheapest Vantage rn

150k miles, what a trooper

[somber elbow]

Taht is quite impressive actually yeah.

A shame that it is 18K poounds however
They used to be even cheaper.

I imagine you can find a DB9 or a Vanquish for even cheaper.

[reef sleet]

In this shitty economy rn? I doubt you'll be getting any lower

[somber elbow]

You're not wrong about that
But sometimes bad enough examples do show up

[misty elk]

@sick pagoda become subjected to 2:34 of my terrible driving

the poor engine and gearbox

surprised it didnt break lol

especially when i slammed into a wall

[left token]

how do you, with a wheel, drive worse than me on my dualsense BEFORE I CONFIGURED IT

nah that's on purpose

okay nah

[misty elk]

Slow reaction and playing with all assists off

I had it set to pro difficulty thingy

Also having to wrestle the wheel while i shift as it’s super twitchy in AC for some reason

[left token]

skill issue

[misty elk]

I’m getting a slightly bigger rim tho, so maybe the added weight will help stop the jittering

[sick pagoda]

Ok honestly i expected a lot worse

[somber elbow]

Given my own similar struggle, not too bad zaimee

[distant mica]

zaimee

[sick pagoda]

Ill post a video of me driving a 959 on a touge today

That thing's crazy

[misty elk]

Tbf I’m not really used to stick shift

Especially in a sim like AC

I usually use auto or paddle shift with no clutch

Or stick shift with no clutch

[sick pagoda]

me with me keyboard 🙂

[jaunty crater]

your new rim will be lighter than a factory simwheel one

rims made for cars are light on purpose, rims made for sims are heavier

[misty elk]

It’s much bigger than my current rim tho lol

13” compared to about 10.5”

And I’ve seen other people say that they noticed a decrease in FFB with a 14” rim

[jaunty crater]

yes its simple math

[gusty light]

It's going.

[somber elbow]

Unfortunately

[somber elbow]

It was almost a P10 actually, but I ran out of fuel just short of the start finish line and Vettel just passed me by.

I drove without TC as well. I am honestly rather proud that I managed it.

[lavish apex]

[somber elbow]

You might like this one

So you know how there was Eddie Irvine right? 2nd driver at Ferrari during the late 90s of Ferrari. Well I decided to make a new playthrough roleplaying as the man

And given as his next venture was through Jaguar, I thought I'd take him through F2 as a Red Bull academy driver, and then join Alphatuari after F2 ends

And hopefully join Red Bull mid-season

However, when I went to choose the announcer name, no Eddie nor Irvine, which was odd given Herbert and Hill were on the list

I saw "murphy" and I deicded "I'll call myself Eddie Murphy Irvine"

And only afterwards did I realize I named myself Eddie Murphy lol

[fervent shoal]

Eddie married Eddie

Love wins

[somber elbow]

Maybe not that way lol
But it was pretty funny

I didn't think that one through at first

I only realized it mid race lol

[somber elbow]

That honestly fits in a very odd way

[somber elbow]

I must say, I quite like driving for Renault. The car is fast, but not overly so, it can score points, and it actually feels quite unique to drive. Esteban nearly did an Esteban on me during the race however.

During Bahrain, Perez was just too quick and I could not keep up despite being able to make up alot of positions on the first turn

[somber elbow]

F1 25 is 50% off for winter sale
30 euros is still a bit much

[somber elbow]

ngl, moddiing F1 games isn't fun

[harsh sluice]

uh fixed a few things like exhaust backfire, license plate light and car sound (yes not sounds, still having a problem when it decel)

[misty elk]

We need to figure out how to break the engine so that we can add entire new cars lol

Instead of replace

Also reverse engineer so when EA tries to take the game from us we can say fuck you EA

[harsh sluice]

If only we can get the dev frosty

it's a game changer if we did have that

You're just superior mario

I genuinely am embarrassed for myself and how even in success I hate myself

[jaunty crater]

average f1 online race with the mates

[somber elbow]

They're a whole 2 sectors behind lol

[somber elbow]

here's a question you might be able to help me with

I am sure F1 2020 and F1 2025 have some handling differences, given they simulate different cars, but on F1 2020, I generally almost always feel like I get quite a bit of understeer out of the cars. Is there some technique you yourself use to minimize understeer?

Without losing too much speed

Should I take corners wider perhaps, or less so, or something else

If the Monaco hairpin is anything to go by, going wide is sometimes the fastest way to take a corner, especially on street circuits where there's not much curb or run off area.

[somber elbow]

@fervent shoal @jaunty crater I remember trying something quite funny on F1 Challenge 99-02 which was quite funny. Essentially, I wanted to give the best drivers the worst cars and vice versa, to see whether if they'd still be able to perform
So I put Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine in Minardi
Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard in BAR
Luca Badoer and Marc Gene in Ferrari and etc
And the results were quite funny. Sometimes I saw Michael pull that Minardi into the top 3 on qualifying. I think with it being an old game, it was limited somewhat in its technical aspects
So instead of the drivers being limited by the cars they drove, the drivers' own stats overrode the AI cars' performance

[jaunty crater]

Forever actually, it’s an Easter egg ending

[dawn flicker]

This is funny asf

[somber elbow]

hehehe

It is indeed a possible ending

You can, if you dare to, beat the first boss initially, and end the game right there

[somber elbow]

ironically it has a usage outside of jokes as well

Because in DMC games, traditionally, you need to play the game in one difficulty in order to then unlock the next higher difficulty

By finishing the campagin on this boss fight, you can unlock the next difficulty earlier as it counts as a campagin completion

[misty elk]

Get a PS Vita

Best financial decision

[fervent shoal]

I have had a vita since 2012

[somber elbow]

Very nice

[somber elbow]

That's a really nice paint scheme

Japanese Grand Prix, Suzuka Circuit, 1993

The climb to 1st was much more of a struggle in this race than in Montreal. I spun out twice trying to pass the Ferraris, on Laps 2 and 3 respectively. Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger were both employing the "fat girls in the school hallway" strat

Still, much like the aforementioned fat girls in the school hallway, the task of getting where I needed to go may have been a nightmare, but the view from behind was something to behold

I would finally claim the lead ahead of Alain Prost by Lap 10.

Anticipating a downpour, I pitted for wet tires on Lap 11. Most other drivers were not so smart, and I would easily scoop up all positions I lost in the pit lane, reclaiming the lead through the esses in Lap 12.

The Benettons, on the other hand, were much more strategic.

I would spend most of the race fending off my lead from Michael Schumacher and Alessandro Zanardi, curiously.

Watching the Williams drivers once again bottle their race was saddening, to say the least.

My teammate, Rubens Barrichello, had his best race yet, taking advantage of the rain and securing a 9th place finish and even the fastest lap of the race, just over 1 minute and 40 seconds.

[somber elbow]

Man.. you're dedicated

[distant mica]

Insert funny Alonso quote here

[somber elbow]

I don't even recognise half the cars because the liveries all change so much

This is the Jordan right?

[distant mica]

Yep

Me and Rubens Barrichello

[somber elbow]

Fuckinh hell.. I was so sure I was wrong

I never even knew Rubens raced for Jordan

Who have you replaced?

[distant mica]

Thierry Boutsen

[somber elbow]

Can't say I've heard of him so probably a good guy to replace

[distant mica]

Well that was the guy who drove in the most races

[distant mica]

Yeah when I played the F1 2016 demo I joined Renault and replaced Jolyon Palmer because I didn't recognize his name

[somber elbow]

That's fair, thats usually what I do too

Replacing the least memorable driver

[somber elbow]

Ah alright then

It's really cool shots you got

Even customised each car

I don't know if GT7 is done

But now we really need a 2000s F1 car

[distant mica]

Yeah I hope they add an F3000

[somber elbow]

Yeah cause 3.0 V10s

[distant mica]

And even an F2400 for the pre hybrid era

[somber elbow]

And possibly an option for a V8

[somber elbow]

There's endless possibilities

And I frankly hope they keep it going

Beyond just F1

They have super formula already

A bit faster than F2

Could add FE

Maybe even Indycars

Then again, Forza had the license for Indycars so I don't know what happens to that

[dawn flicker]

Heaven

[somber elbow]

Hehehe

Those engines are instantly iconic

[dawn flicker]

Fm8 getting insycars was such a random move lol

And yet, not many people cared about them

[somber elbow]

I assume it was intended for if the game had succeeded

A shame honestly

Cause those last 2 updates were very promising

But sadly, it all ended up being a glimmer of hope when it was too late

[somber elbow]

They gey their usage

[dawn flicker]

Yes exactly

The new updates were turning the game into a better experience

[distant mica]

I actually did this race a few days ago, I just finally made the time to post today

You liking the photos too Furxy?

[dawn flicker]

Where

[somber elbow]

For sure. A shame it was all for null

[dawn flicker]

Motion blur isn't available in photo mode?

[distant mica]

Not in replay

[dawn flicker]

Oh

[distant mica]

I couldn't use Race Photos, I had to screenshot the replays or the game would crash

I get a few good angles in Replay mode, like the one on the hairpin

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve also has some amazing camera angles in Replay mode

[dawn flicker]

Are there any cool angles at Bathurst?

[distant mica]

Some

[dawn flicker]

I'm pretty sure you could do some pretty cool shots there

[distant mica]

But I haven't tried out that track much in replay

[distant mica]

Holy shit I just noticed

This race was a Jordan Lotus Larrousse podium

@distant mica

[jaunty crater]

@somber elbow GT3s are good fun

[somber elbow]

Hehe, this is really cool. You're doing some good moves I gotta say
Max would be proud with you driving his car

[jaunty crater]

i own one with a redbull livery, but for the DLC races, you gotta rent the car xd, this is running the default red with the black stripes

[somber elbow]

Oh, fair enough, I thought it had the livery

A shame that you cannot run your own for DLC races

[sick pagoda]

eh?

WAIT A MINUTE

why does that have 3 mirrors?

[eternal wing]

add a 4th wing mirror

make it symmetrical again

[sick pagoda]

nah its funny how the testarossa normally has 1 mirror, which is also asymmetrical lol

[somber elbow]

Here's the basis

The Cheetah in GTA VC has three extra options for its mirrors
Wither no mirror, one mirror or two mirrors

With the VCPD variant always defaulting to the two mirror model

However, in the defective edition, the VCPD version is bugged and spawns with all side mirror extras active

Just another of the defective edition's fuck ups

And how faulty of a port it is

[somber elbow]

Honestly it shows immensely why being so critical due to heat of the moment is such a common thing. And that it isn't always going to stay a valid opinion of the game later on. I enjoyed FH4 for what it was, and I am glad now that it isn't the subject of needless hate, it can enjoy being seen for the brilliant game that it was

[dawn flicker]

I'm discovering the internet

How do you do that

[somber elbow]

Here's how mate

[Here you put the text you want](here you put the link that you want)

[finite barn]

easy

[somber elbow]

Then it'll auto correct itself into the text and it'll become an embedded text

ive done that before but thought it was an accident lol

big if true

[jaunty crater]

@fervent shoal would you happen to know much about this car

iirc it holds the record for the fastest electric car around the nurburgring (still a minute slower than the 919 EVO)

but do you think it could be competitive against hypercars

[fervent shoal]

It's faster

It's faster around most circuits than group 1. The downforce is endless

And while the 919EVO is faster round the ring, the IDR has an extraordinarily low top speed, because it uses the VW ID3 motor

Well it uses two of them, but those have rpm limitations from being road car equipment

And it also holds the outright pikes peak record, and that would be far closer if the 919 Evo had ever run that

[jaunty crater]

so the nurburgring and lemans are 2 outlier tracks that make it slower, while its faster around all the shorter ones

interesting

its for sure a good looking car

i knew it did well in pikes peak but im not familiar with the layout of modern pikes peak

i guess having no regulations helps make it much faster than the normal lmp1/hypercars

makes you wonder if you could ever have full electric endurance racing, that doesnt involve swapping multiple chassis

[fervent shoal]

Battery swapping is a mature technology now, all it'll take is someone to ask the Nurb24h team to let them do it.
N24h has a whole little paddock thing to support "alternative fuel" racers, and Aston ran a hydrogen car once.
NIO has thousands of swap stations already, with a couple dozen in Europe too.

Also, @jaunty crater buy the IDR it is very fun and wacky. It doesn't even have doors or headlights

[jaunty crater]

i asked you because i wanted to buy it anyway, it looks awesome sauce

but now that you say that, i will not be taking it to a 24 hours of anything by accident XD

ill save up and get it, im only missing this, the Nismo LMP1 that shat itself at lemans, only FF from 4WD worked and all 3 of them broke anyway, and the R18 from 2011 thats 3 million

from modern day LMP1ish designs that is, the old ones i have none 😭

[fervent shoal]

Well the GTR has been updated to 4WD by Polyphony, so now it's sort of almost competitive

[wraith crescent]

how did the drivers get in? do they just disassemble the chassis, make them go in and then reassemble the chassis while theyre inside?

[jaunty crater]

The stupid hole in the roof

[fervent shoal]

That fast while barely getting past 260kmh...

[wraith crescent]

are you serious

[jaunty crater]

yes, insane car

[wraith crescent]

they go in like its a manhole

[jaunty crater]

lil hatch on the roof

[fervent shoal]

Did a championship one-make with it once. Absolutely brilliant for strategy

[jaunty crater]

@fervent shoal as promised

[fervent shoal]

have fun in wacky time trials

[jaunty crater]

Might rig a race at a small tight track when my friends come over so I pick this and they lose

[fervent shoal]

Suzuka 👍

I think this is the fastest real tin top in the game 😱

[jaunty crater]

now i only need this..

and ill have every single modern lmp1/hypercar

[fervent shoal]

I love the stupid GTR LM
