Duval is a total cock any time I've had the displeasure of meeting him in a race, but I didn't see any problem with his driving there, just Gangi being an even bigger cock.

Lorry crashed into my garden wall a while ago. 4am watching superbowl with photoshop open, bored out my head.

It's been down today more than it's been up. I've been on and off all day, usually I do a few laps then leave a session and the membersite is down again.

Was getting terrible framerate issues since the new build, but have only just realised that it's the Trading Paints program doing it. If anyone is having FPS issues try getting rid of the TP program and see if it helps you. I've sent Steve Luvender a message with all the details so hopefully it can be fixed.

Absolutely underwhelming to the max, hopefully the tyre updates help, but since the tyres are still going to be fastest when cold and have very strange behaviour at operating temp because of that, it looks like I'l be taking 3 months off.

Quote from e2mustang :

it starts but than thats it,you cant play with mouse or kb which is bullshit

Well, the most recent version supports mouse steering. No point dismissing it completely from an ancient cracked version.

Quote from e2mustang :

im gonna fire up my cracked version tonight and see how this game is still a pos. just for fun

That version from about 4 years ago? Well, no surprise that it's a piece of shit.

In their defence, both quotes are a direct response to a question in the Impala A and Truck C forums, so maybe that's why only oval is talked about.

Possible general drafting/slipstream aero changes to all cars which should help side drafting. This will impact how the cars drive at SS and intermediates.
Possible tire carcass & compound changes to the high level stockcars (A, B, C).
Possible steering model updates to all or most cars, including the stockcars.
Track bar will have a max rake rule like was introduced past halfway this past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season at all tracks, not just SS tracks.
We are working on the new 13 cars, no eta on those.
I'm running out of time to get any other changes in for next season, but hopefully we'll have some of the above and maybe a few more minor things.

I'll give you guys a few tips leading into next season. The truck is probably going to change in how you need to set it up. These are a few things you'll need to know:

1) The tires will have less grip, this is going to be applied to the other high level stockcars too. However, over-limit tire performance will be much improved, so it should feel more recoverable.

2) I've found a problem with the collision system that is allowing the truck to achieve more rear travel than it should, hence you'll not be able to run with minimum rear springs any longer. A 450# RR is probably going to be the limit at places like CLT, TEX, ATL, etc. In fact, the same problem exists on the Impala A, although not the B or the national car.

3) I've 'plugged' a hole in the aero map that made it faster to run with the nose up. The problem was the raw numbers weren't allowing near enough downforce loss with that sort of configuration. For 2013S1 you'll no doubt have to control nose attitude much better to be able to make the corners in good fashion at the typically grip limited tracks.

Bottom line is nose down and ass end up, at least to some degree, or you'll be slow. For instance, the baked in 2012S4 Charlotte fixed set is 2 to 3 tenths faster than pole sitting, race winning setups from 2012S4 with the new changes during our testing.

Happy trails!

Pretty much half the time I go onto iRacing now I see that screen, there's always some problem or another, the other day apparently there was a "firewall" problem that took it down for a couple of hours. Honestly, they have more downtime than those dodgy free webhosts.

Full UK is going to get a shit-ton of snow, except for a small circle right around where I live. Nice.

Quote from PMD9409 :

That new Chevy sticker isn't free either, you must choose one.

At least you get 6$ credited back to you if you buy the Chevy though.

Fair enough they need to cover licensing costs, but never in a million years will I spend the $12 just for a ford sticker on the front of my A car instead of a Chevy sticker.

McLaren feels amazing, really.

Quote from Si Mclaren :

Just before people continue with the sarcasm:

There is no racing in snow, and most of the people don't drive at roads on snow unless needed, because its dangerous and can damage the car.

EDIT: Now let the sarcasm continue

Well, not strictly true. Andros Trophy is 1 example, of which Alain Prost is current champion and a few former F1 drivers race.

Quote from Keling :

For a DX11 game this thing doesn't look that impressive. When can we get a sim with PCARS level graphics and LFS/NKP level physics?

Still, definitely will buy AC. Waiting for the demo...

You're joking, right?

I suggest doing the usual Malwarebytes/Spybot S&D/combofix scans in safe mode, would have to be pretty good to dodge that. Then, start using MSE for anti-virus.

Quote from jrd.racer :

20.3 is really quick. Gl in the sof race.

On another note, the IndyCar Fixed is awesome fun at Spa.

Couldn't do better than 20.6 in Q, annoyed at myself. Just missed out on the top split race too, 54 people signed up and split it into 3, just dropping me into the 2nd split. 52 drivers and I would have made the first split, but shit happens. Had a great race in the 2nd split, finished 3rd and got a great haul of points. This L79 is tons of fun, mainly because I've never been as close to the sharp end .

Anyone who hasn't yet, sign up to the CTC and start racing in this series, it's brilliant.

Quote from jrd.racer :

DeKo you running the Lotus this week?

Its mental at Infineon

I am, it really is mental at this track, every time I go over a crest the back steps out on me. Got down to a 20.3 in testing, if I can get into the 19's I'll be chuffed.

To be honest, that lifting off over eau-rouge happens because of the netcode, people have told me I was doing it before on their screens, and they were doing it on mine.

Also, from my experience the Aussies either try to fit in races at euro/US hours or they drive the V8 supercar.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

Still costs too much to buy all the content I would want. Iracing is possibly the most pricefixed sim out there

Price fixing implies they're working with the competition to fix prices. They can set their own prices to whatever they want, and plenty of people are paying it.

Hitman is brilliant, feels like the old ones only much better.

After the last build I drifted pretty much the full track at Laguna in the Mustang, probably could do so at Okayama too. It feels a lot easier to drift now.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Got a source for this.

Have to resist getting excited until see something coming via official channels but damn it's hard to resist.

Mackie, most of the info is from the magazine out last week, full PDF with all the info can be downloaded here. 18 pages of info.
