Ok, then, yea its gonna be a total time suck and have to analyze your lap times with software to determine braking, throttle, brake points, wheel spin, tire wear, etc



If any of you sim racers wonder how closely the data analysis graphs in your sims resemble what real race car drivers look at, here's an old picture I took in the pits during IndyCar qualifying at Laguna Seca. This is Shinji Nakano looking at his data overlaid with the data of his teammate Adrian Fernandez. At the top is the speed graph, you can follow all of the turns at Laguna. Just below that is throttle. I don't know what's below that. At that moment, Adrian's 70.4s lap was middle-of-the-pack, and Shinji's 71.9s lap was dead last. Overlaid on the speed graph, you can see a red horizontal line and a green sloping line, that I think indicates their growing time gap over the course of the lap.

Below is a pic of my setup.



GT Omega Prime Cockpit
49" Samsung Monitor
Thrustmaster TS-XW Wheel Base
Thrustmaster Open Wheel & Sparco Wheel
Thrustmaster T-LCM Pedals (not a fan)
6 Aurasound Bass shakers (seat, pedals, 4 corners)
Wind simulation
Custom PC

I mostly drive GT3 in Assetto Corsa Competizione. I do play around in Assetto Corsa with some F1 cars every now and then.

I've recently gotten into time trial racing up Pikes Peak.. thats a lot of fun.

Nice, I race mostly on iracing and mostly W13/F1, have done GT3 racing too but I just really like open wheel. Do want to get into LMP so I can do some endurance races.

I got two Grandstand 1 tickets. Nice price after the USD - CAD conversion.

Trying to get two more in Grandstand 12 but the site is crashing.

Same.. I'm hoping the new LeMans game will be good. Would love to do mixed class WEC racing.

You will probably have to get them aftermarket, around 500 per is my guess.

We did hiarpin through the site and hoping next year to get the pre-buy for Grandstand 12. Will do Grandstand 12 on the aftermarket.

Rennsport? I'll be interested to see, but i just really love iRacing's format and management of drivers with the safety rating system.

I'm newer to F1 but this feels like the case for 3 straight years now, I think?
