Another Wild 87′ Save at Dega

87’s at Talladega were wild last week. iRacing posted a clip, reminiscent of last weeks Moonhead Twitter clip, of a pack of 87’s loosing it at the front of the field but somehow they all save it.

What Regrets Do you Have?

La Broca Sim Racing posted a video laying some of his regrets regarding the amount of money he has spent in a year and a half on the service. He provides good advice on what content you should or should not purchase. When and when not to make purchases.

In March 2022, La Broca indicated he has spent $231 Euros. Averaging out to be $21 Euros a month. Honestly, does not sound that bad.

How much have you spent?

No FFB, Motion Only

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvuuZ0Qa5ro

I turned off the Simucube force feed back and used only the the motion from the Imsim rig and couldn’t believe the results! For years i believed the motion rigs are distracting in simracing driving but after that experience i redefine my opinion forever !

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Race :  Michigan

  • Wed Open:
    • Ellis – p19 – Got as high as tenth at one point but would fade on longer runs – ended up short pitting the gf stop, and shook out to be lucky dog – decided to save the last set of tires for the next cautio, but there wasn’t no caution…. Faded from p12 to 19th
    • Kyle P – P7 Started P6. Did my best to save tires but found myself fading so decided to push hard and the car got loose after an early race adjustment. Adjusted back to the original setup and the car was comfortable again but now it was time to move back up from 19th. Slowly worked my way up through the field and just couldn’t get that top 5 finish I was shooting for. Bringing home a P7.
    • Tony R – P10 was too loose start of the race. 1 caution burned up my tires on 2nd run 17th to 5th in 5 laps and faded hard and couldnt catch the leaders after
    • Tyler – P29. Was running around 20th as green flag cycles were wrapping up when I brushed the wall in between 3 and 4. Couldn’t get off the wall and spun out completely. No caution and just decided to pit. Was hoping for a late caution to get the lucky dog but was not luck. Bummed out. Solid set. Thanks Tony for the help. 
  • Thurs Open  

Ellis – p8 – Car number one, started 15 no cautions green flag run – some people short pitted i didnt waited until 3 laps of fuel left had pitted from 5th, ended up about 10th when it shook out then caution w 20 to go. Then another caution w 3 to go went from 10th to 8th…
