Hi all, thought I'd share this here - I've figured out a way to have ASW turn off automatically, and successfully, every time I jump into VR. It's a bit of a process but works really well and I never have to remember to check that it's off anymore.

Yep I picked that for sure, it's such a great effect. We use it for my team paints also, we have a pattern that fades from being a different colour from the base to the same colour but different spec

Nice! Love the black/grey pattern of the bottom layer especially

My team has a fair few people in it who pretty much only do the big enduro events, and it bugs me how they can not touch the sim for months and still be so dang fast ๐Ÿ˜‚

Haha maybe I'm not used to Lemmy/Jerboa or I'm just blind, but I did not realise that post was a poll... I just replied. So that's one missing vote for iRacing.

99% of the time it's iRacing for me, I get way more from well structured racing against real people than anything else so nothing else is really going to compete

Also Dirt Rally 2, and I need to try a fully modded Richard Burns Rally again, been too long

There are often very cheap deals for new subs for a few months, and if you love it you can resub on black Friday for a discount also.

I've definitely spent a lot more on it now, but I also took a loooong time to spend anything more than the sub price. And now there's even more base content than when I was new. I was happy racing the mx5 for ages before being tempted into any purchases. Now you got those, GR86, Vees, FF1600 and more, all great cars. Plus oval stuff

Surviving lap 1 at Spa (clips.twitch.tv)

Classic wreck on Lap 1 at Spa up ahead. I immediately assumed the car to my right would move over into me, so I went to the grass... This was a mistake and made braking a whole lot more challenging but somehow (and with a lot of luck) I still managed to pull it off :D

Very nice. That same thing took me a long time, as well as learning to deal with the pressure while doing so.

Giving too much space is tricky too, I still struggle with this when I'm entering a corner side by side. It feels safer to leave a bit of a gap, but then you're entering really shallow and it actually makes it more likely to come together, gotta stay close right up to turn-in instead.

Every battle is an opportunity to improve!

Nice work! One point of advice - try to think about the defense more on corner entry (like you're doing) but less on corner exit (unless the attacking car is really pushing for moves like over/unders, or if the exit immediately sets up the next corner).

Basically, you're losing time by not using all of the track on exit. When you've defended the entry, your next goal is to get the smoothest and fastest exit possible, and start leaving them behind :)

Just excited to see this here, that's all. Looking forward to being a part of it!

What has everyone been racing this week? I jumped back into some ovals, I'm going for my C licence so I can race some Street Stocks whenever they go to a road course, so much fun
