Uncover why a basic piece of equipment is now indispensable in simracing. It ensures your concentration remains sharp and your body temperature stays low throughout demanding races, enhancing peak performance and reducing overheating disruptions.

 

Finally got a chance to run an imsa fixed race at silverstone! in iracing.

Weather said rain unlikely: that was a lie.

It lightly rained the whole race.

Qualified P2 with a lucky lap in the wet, but fell back to P3 at the start of the race.

Tried to overcut P2, but didn't have the pace.

P3 finish in the LMP2 class.

Super fun race.

 

They're going to be hosting a tournament which is really neat. #

 

Week 6 of Season 4, 2024: Got in a few races.

Started off with IndyCar Fixed at Long Beach, started 9th and finished 6th.

Next, IMSA Fixed at Road Atlanta (one of my favorite tracks!), started 14th and finished 11th.

Ended the week strong with a P3 finish in the PCC at Road Atlanta!

How was your week?

Alright fair enough. Though it seems this whole thing feels a bit fabricated. Alot of local people said they were booing not max but Gregg abbot who was presenting as a lot of people do not like him,however it's being spun as max being the target.

Don't drivers usually have some sort of body guards pretty often? I've seen lewis with guards before but it wasn't at mexico.

 

hey all, I've been using the Buttkicker Gamer Plus for a few weeks, and I must say it's honestly been a great addition to my sim racing setup.

For those who may not be familiar with it, this device allows users to physically feel sensations through vibrations. The Buttkicker Haptic System can replicate sensations like engine vibrations, tire slip, the texture of the road, and gear shifts, elevating the virtual driving experience to a whole new level of realism and engagement.

A more in-depth review, with pictures, here!

TLDR!

  • Provides feedback where it is essential (tire slip, etc)
  • Performance Boost: Improves driving skills and lap times(I find myself at a negative delta when its turned off, eventually I get back to pace)
  • Considerations: It makes noise, so depending on living situations, it is something to consider. There are cheaper DIY options, but this is a complete no thinking solution.
  • Easy Setup: Quick and straightforward installation.
  • Customization: Fine-tune settings for personal preference, you can do this via iRacing directly or with buttkicker-provided software.
  • Optimal Feedback: with the controller, you can quickly turn it up and down which is nice
  • Verdict: Highly recommended for affordable immersion in sim racing.
 

No issues, great quality videos.

That fact that it seamlessly blends with my car's interior. Here is some info about it.

No need to worry about Polestar 2 lacking a built-in dash cam; FitCamX has me covered with an easy, 10-minute installation.

What's in the Box:

- Dash Cam

- Pre-installed 64GB micro-SD Card

- USB SD Card Reader

- Plastic Pry Tool

- Power cable

- User Manual

Key Features:

- Discreet design around my rearview mirror.

- 8MP CMOS sensor for clear 4K video at 30fps.

- 170-degree field of vision.

- G-Sensor & Lock for collision footage protection.

- Loop Recording (supports up to 128GB SD cards).

- Access footage via the FitCamX app.

I'm loving the hassle-free installation and superb video quality day and night.

hey all, I have seen a couple of comments discussing foldable simracing rigs. I've had the chance to get my hands on the Next Level Racing GT-Lite Foldable Simracing Rig, so I wanted to share some insights.

If you want to dive deeper into this, check out a more detailed review with more pictures right here!

tldr:

  • Assembly: Putting it together is a breeze, and it's versatile enough to work with various setups.

  • Adjustments: You've got some flexibility in customizing your wheel and pedal positions, but the backrest angle is set in stone.

  • Comfort: It's pretty convenient, but it does make a few comfort sacrifices in the name of portability.

  • Space Savings: If you're tight on space, this rig is a godsend. It folds up neatly for effortless storage.

  • Conclusion: Looking for a robust and portable solution to bring realism to your sim racing adventures in a cramped space? This seems like a solid solution.

You should see some of the first iterations of this rig. Scary stuff

[–] Elegast@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

You're not wrong! Just a proof of concept that ended up working pretty well

If only their UI wasn't so trash I'd only ever use weather.gov

ATM beeper Facebook bridge works fine. Use it daily. I'd prefer to self host beeper/matrix/bridges but haven't had time to set it up and got an invite to beeper a few weeks ago.

Wow that's really neat. I'll check it out then. Cheers

I'm running triples 1080 @ 75hz. Outer 2 monitors are curved. They were just monitors I had around and were not bought with sim racing in mind. so the bezel is not the same across all devices, but eventually Ill get new monitors.

I just recently got the Buttkicker and man was that worth it. It adds so much immersion. I don't like racing without it anymore.
