Magnussen did well in all sessions, glad he did good. Also props to Kvyat, might have had an excursion at the end but at least he got it into Q3.

Also, cool to see the crowd so into Ricciardo.

Not normally a fan of supercars, but this one feels pretty good.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :So fairly similar to my PC that I built, except I went for a better CPU.

I get 100 FPS in AC.

Deko just needs something that runs.

Must be hardware dependent, with the G27 it has literally been plug and play for me. Just went in one time to turn off the curb effects.

Yeah, this is one of the rare times I'd say to have both. Then get the BMW when that comes out as well.

Wondering why I wasn't getting pushed exiting T3, and it was because it was the last lap. Thought for sure I saw 41/42 going into T3. Oh well, I blame Deko not saying "WHITE FLAG" like he normally does.

Quote from Kristi :I was thinking about jumping up to Class A and starting the FW, but it seems to be extremely fast and I'm afraid I would be just a backmarker. How hard is it to jump into that league? What are the "proes"? How can you even reach Pro licence?

It's as hard as you make it. If you practice a lot and try doing a lot of setup work, then it can pay off well and you can do pretty good. But to qualify, you want to finish in the top 10 in points in either season 1, 2, or 3. Season 4 you then have pro series, where I believe you must finish in the top 20 in order to obtain a DWC license. Pro series is a 10 week season (skips Xmas and New Years) that is normally messy as people scramble to get points. In the past, playing it safe in Pro can almost ensure you a DWC license. Please note though, that pace in the Class A series does not always relate to the Pro/DWC level whatsoever. Rarely you have a top driver go through A class anymore, most of them currently aren't top 10 material (no offense to them, just being honest).

In the end, you would have to see if you even like the car. Being consistent in it as well with good pace is probably the most important thing. If you can't stay concentrated for 60-90 minutes straight, you're going to have problems later on when racing.

Quote from Kristi :So I guess I'm the only LFSer that doesn't mind sitting on high-Class C and being matchmaked with Class A drivers, because I'm interested in the RUF Cup anyway. I thought about going up to Class A just for the F1 league, but meh... I don't think I can do anything significiant there.

Nah, I think many do that. If you don't plan on driving the F1 car, why have an A class license?

Quote from menantoll :So can't tell if I'm being an **** or being an ****?

Neither. (Though maybe ignorant has a different meaning in this context in US.)

Ignorant: lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.

Admittedly I forgot that fast track didn't exist in 2008.

Wasn't really going for an insult, just wondering how on Earth you were trying to make that comparison.

Personally, iRating doesn't mean all that much at that low of a level. Gaining iRating in D class would probably be easier than gaining in rookie, as the chances of you being taken out have dropped some. You can start from the pits and still either gain iRating or remain the same. In most rookie races you'll have drivers dropping like rocks, allowing you to gain positions. It only takes four races I believe and you can be out of rookie, so why not take that opportunity, evening out your iRating as your worst possible outcome and just move to D? If you believe you won't be gaining iRating at D class level, then it isn't entirely other cars to blame.

When quite a few of my team mates were moving from LFS to iRacing, they went from Rookie to A class in 3-4 days, only buying the Star Mazda outside of the F1 car. They got out of rookie ASAP, and then gained all their iRating using the Star Mazda so they could reach the top split races in F1 by the next weekend. Trying to juice everything out of the rookie class just isn't worth it in the end.

Going to compare the first season of iRacing to now, k. Not only is everyone in rookie at that time, but you couldn't even advance licenses until after the season is over with. So basically can't tell if trolling or if you are being that ignorant.

I'd rather face idiots in class D than idiots in Rookie.

On your part.

The rant clearly shows you do. Try just apologizing for a bad assumption instead of embarrassing yourself further.

Guy complains without knowing "Nissan GT-R Nismo 2014 and GT-R GT3 already announced time ago".

To be honest though, I didn't even remember that.

Quote from PhilS13 :Got that a couple times. Huge grab on T2 inside curb at the nurb, the kind that makes you spin.

T3 curb gets me good. A couple at Silverstone do it too, one being Becketts. Sometimes I think I'm clipping inside the curb and that's pulling the inside front tire, but then sometimes I'm just barely on the curb and it sucks me in. Not really sure why. The curbs on exit don't really bother me, as normally that is predictable.

It's not really the curbs giving me silly bounces, but instead the random grip and grab I get from the inside curbs in low speed. Maybe it is my imagination, I don't know.

Enjoy the T125 even though I'm not a single seater person. Driving it reminds me that I wouldn't mind the curbs getting a rework on some tracks.

Quote from Fordman :PMD over £130 for a gfx card to get me by, seriously.....there must be something cheaper that will work with AC...as a standard FPS rate?

You can get by with this and this, but you probably won't be impressed with the FPS.

Things progress, and in order to keep up you will have to spend a pretty penny at times.

EDIT: And +1 again to the above.

GTX 560 Ti works fine on 2560x1600. I can't max things out by any means but I get by rather easily.

For short term, the 660 listed above would be your best bet.
