Blokko Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Nice set-up! I did an rFactor season a few years back. It was fun for a little while, but I wasn't very good at it and I struggled to make the timeslot every week due to work and personal commitments. I use Project Cars on the PS4 for an occasional blast around Donington in a Caterham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan3030 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Blokko - Always a race on iRacing, every 30 mins. All the MX-5 leagues require (esp the entry level - Where you won't need new tracks) is the yearly fee ( you can get it for $50 discounted to join) and a cheapo wheel and pedals setup for $100. Licensing cleans up the races as you advance as it's a safety based system Mike - OK now that hurts a bit... JK. Seriously though, now you're going to force me to supercharge that little 1.6 and get some more NJMP track time in advance (Driver enhancement training is required) so I so I can feel a little less shame and earn a proper award next July... As far as iracing, I tend to run mid-pack in the top split (how they group 12-20 cars out of 100 entrants) for MX-5, skip barber and GT3 etc, when I'm practiced up mid-winter.

jimrankin Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Your right Alfonse, I guess that the video driving just isn't right for some of us, especially us pre video game old guys. I have lots of hours in stunt planes, ocean sailing, cars trips on twisty mountain roads, some in other countries with no guard rails or signs I could only sometimes decipher and have never had a moment of motion sickness. Then I got invited to an open house at a high end car "clubhouse" and got into what I guess is the ultimate "sim racing" console. You sit in part of a race car that kind of "moves" and completely wrap around 3-D "windshield" screens. I lasted less than 10 minutes before I had to bail. Tried it again later with the same results. Now know what people with motion sickness go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
