I am struggling to find a way to record trackir data with any software. Would anyone know if LFS records the trackir position in the .raf file for data analysis? I am trying to think of a workaround.
Chris Harris is the best presenter they have by a milllleeee so give him a break.
The rally cross thing is, from a practical standpoint, stupid. The whole point of reasonably priced car is that conditions, well as best as you could hope, were equal. Having dirt and jumps adds so many variables that comparison times become almost pointless.
It was terrible and totally misjudged on almost all counts
Watched Top Gear Extra, and Chris Harris was by far and above the best element. The fact he wasn't used in the first show goes to show how wrong they got it. Matt and Evan might LIKE cars... but they don't come across as particularly car people.
on TGE Rory Reid came across as a kids presenter. The guys knows his cars, but instead they had him reading off a card? If they use Harris more, and let Reid be himself, there's a future for the show. As it is though.. dreadful
Calling AC arcade, in any manner, is absurd. People seem to think race cars should be impossible to drive. I tested with Ginetta a few months ago. Apart from some handling quirks it wasnt exactly hard to drive.
Pretty good popcorn movie. Paint by numbers but it did look visually brilliant. It's the kinda film that hypnotises you at the cinema, but you watch it home and think "huh, thought it was a bit better from memory"
No I wouldn't. I wouldn't care one bit. It's THEIR RIGHT in a free market economy to charge as they wish. You kind have to be a bit strange to take personal offence to a price point for a product. When you buy something it doesn't give the right to be an entitled douchebag.
haha, see they really don't like it when the tables are turned. People start questioning their behavior and they go off like fireworks... but of course it's fine to moan at people that have actually CREATED something.
Why would Zandvoort sign a contract that gives iRacing exclusive rights over the track unless iRacing offered serious cash... Is Zandvoort really that in demand?
The only good thing about my wasted money on Dirt Rally (I hadn't realised it wasn't a full on sim) is it's motivated me to get RBR working on my PC and wheel.
How come BBC can still have rights to the title "Top Gear" when all 3 presenters of 20 years and producer will make it by themselves?
I wouldn't care if that would be called "Top-ish Gear" or whatever - that would be "the real deal" TopGear anyway.
I feel like we're missing out because of the perception that "faster is better".
Imagine a world where the top pro drivers were competing in an International series running 911s like we see in the video there.
Top drivers would get to the absolute laptime limit of these cars within 20 laps and then get so bored they'd want to throw themselves into a wall. These videos are most often fun to watch only because the drivers in it are normal drivers making a bunch of mistakes on relatively easy cars to drive.
Well actually a lot of historic events draw in professional and retired professionals from all over. It might be "for fun" but driving standards are higher than you might think.
I seriously dispute the idea that drivers would be bored.....why, because they're slow? That's a bit like saying a Rallycross car would send an F1 driver to sleep after 60mph. It doesn't work like that, and I don't think you can seriously claim that an old Porsche would be less entertaining to drive (for anyone at any level) than a modern GT car.
Finally, I'm not sure why being at the lap-time limit in these would be any different to any other class, except that it would look a hundred times more spectacular than most other classes. How would these be any easier to lap consistently than a modern 911 cup car with its paddle shift and ABS? To answer my own question: they wouldn't.
PhilS13 is making the assumption top drivers aren't already in historic racing. If I know anything about motorsport is that those who were perceive to be the 'top' drivers, rarely are in fact that.
On that note the best karting championship in the UK this year is based on karts from the 90s. Historic racing has an actual definable purpose, it's an actual tangible thing, You drive the cars/karts/bikes primarily because that's what you derive most enjoyment from driving. Nothing is purer than that.
The rest of motorsport is a cascade of rich morons ejaculating a false sense of driving superiority because they happen to race in an 'elite' level championship.
