You took it waaaaaaay farther than Racer Y.
Imagine having been around since late 2002.

Unless you're making a Gran Turismo game, in which case you need every variation of the Nissan Skyline ever made.
Depending on when you stopped playing, it's possible you missed the last physics updates in 2006 and 2007 that made the tyres much more forgiving.
FWIW, I had an Act Labs Force RS, and it's utter rubbish compared to a Logitech G25/G27, let alone the more expensive options.

If we're talking 600-class supersports, I'd argue they're currently all about the same, such was the pace of development in the last 20 years.
At the track, Suzukis are popular because they tend to be cheaper, easier to work on, and have slightly more horsepower throughout the rev range. Yamahas are popular because they tend to have the best handling. Hondas are notorious for being difficult to work on and fragile (especially the forks), but also for being more user friendly (easier/less work to go fast up to a point). Kawasakis don't generally have the best reputation and I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was because they were generally the heaviest, although that may have changed with the most recent generation.
Mostly though, these are minuscule differences that racers tend to exaggerate when talking about them.
I was referring more to Standard/Classic and Dirt ergos rather than Supersport.
I like to refer to this as correcting cruiser ergos. Who thought having the rider's feet out in front rather than directly under was a good idea?
False equivalence. Stories like this are trotted out by white supremacists and racism-deniers alike as a means to silence discussions on privilege, racial power dynamics, and abuses of police power.
Yes, it's sad Lion (and I'm sure many like him before and since) was killed, but there's a big difference between a robber shooting someone and a police officer (or in the case of Martin's killer, a neighborhood watchman) doing the same. Should we not hold the latter to a higher standard of conduct?
More details here:
"It is true that the Marley Lion case received little news coverage outside the Charleston area, but the comparison to the Trayvon Martin case is something of a false equivalency. In the Trayvon Martin case, there was never any doubt as to the identity of his killer (George Zimmerman), yet several weeks elapsed before the shooter was charged with a crime and taken into custody — a fact which created controversy and fostered the public perception (correct or not) that the case would never have been adjudicated had it not been widely publicized in the media, and that the race of the victim was a significant issue in the decision about whether to prosecute the shooter (as well as an element of the crime itself). In the
Marley Lion case, the identity of the killer(s) was initially unknown until likely suspects were determined through police investigation; once those suspects were identified, they were promptly arrested and charged with a multiplicity of crimes, hence Lion's murder was never associated with a public perception of "justice denied" or the suggestion that his race was an element of either the commission or prosecution of his killing.

The motorbike racer in me cringes at the ARMCO so close to the outside of the track.
Laptop overheating is caused by:
1: Dust clogging the inside, blocking airflow
2: Broken fans
Open the laptop and remove the dust. Replace any broken fans.
