@kaia woaw so much air and packaging that looks bigger than it is.

(They removed one of them?)

@snow about the right size for you

I may have had a little bit too much fun today xD But my cough got better so I got to do some more sim racing today.

Done some hot lapping around the ring in its Endurance layout that is also used for the N24.

First something I am more comfortable with, a cup car. This one is the Clio RS Cup Car (I think Mk4) from 2017. Cuties around the ring.

For whatever reason the mod for it does use the sound of the Praga R1 so it does "fart" quite a lot more than it actually really should. It does sound very cool though. The real one does certainly not sound like this. But the mod is accurate in the performance (I think ) Nevertheless its a fun car.

I also lapped it at night way slower and without the ideal line I would have seen nothing even with the headlights lol

And lastly something very special. BMW-M had some fun this year seemingly (or too much alcohol). They made an April Fools Joke last year. Showing off an M3 Touring (basically a wagon) in GT3 spec.

Well the people seemed to like the idea, so the madlads just made it happen. It exists in real! The M3 Touring 24h will be racing the Nürburgring 24h this year.

And of course it also got modded into Assetto Corsa xD. You dreamed it, we built it! Or rather modded it.

The car is fun but I am not really good with GT3s and that shows. lots of potential for a better time but still sub-9min for the Endurance-Layout is good for me I think.... (On soft-tyres and optimal track conditions)

IRL this thing laps almost like the GT3s at around 8 min

Have fun

@blub pCars 2 is also quite nice. Its online functions are pretty dead but for some AI Racing it can be good fun.

I mean the cables can be fixed for. But its also kinda nice the market has some affordable direct drive stuff availiable by now

@puniko @bunni Have a hug and a headpat

(Why are hard-drives the last few days... )

@snow thankies. I will be fine I guess. Just visiting the potty a bit more from drinking more

@aetios oh yeah AI can be hideos really. Well there is certainly other games with better AI in it. Just would need to look around. But Assetto Corsa is moddable its genuine fun.

I may have some laps in that M3 Touring GT3 later (yes it exists and its a wagon)

@lyli ye wanted to go as well but have some coughing going on so that won't fly. I feel not too bad atleast

Ah yes nothing like racing some AI in Assetto Corsa. They are so unaware its kinda funny and sad at the same time.

I was racing at the Nürburgring GP against some older Ferarri lol. Rocket on the straight but worse than my Clio Cup Car down the corners. I was keeping it at bay by getting some gap through the corners but it would catch me on the straights. Lap 4 the AI decided: "lets end this man" and spun me

I did manage to catch it afterwards sadly. p2 in the end.

btw don't ask me why the ferrari has audio desync xD

edit: it seems it was an alfa romeo 33 stradale 1967 my fault

@snow I have a can of tea atleast

@puniko Weil 1.Mai ist?

@aetios drinking water right

@aetios but a boost might help me out if you like?

@aetios I have a moza r3 here. Fun thing very nice but 280 €

But we had a dude playing on a gamepad. I was never too much of a fan on gamepads for "proper" Sims. Though assetto Corsa can be played with ome

@lukhash @aetios will be giving it a listen later.

@aetios and its bandcamp-friday as well

desea and ente actually giving me ideas now...

There is actually a thing I would want to do...

I do wonder if Fedi has People that are into some simracing?

Like I was taking part in some series this year and last year but it was all organized on discord sadly. And since I am trying to use discord less by now and I left that server.

I was having genuine fun though. I wonder if I could do something similar-ish with people on here

(Like I can't be the only one right? )

Basically what we did on there was having a so called Monthly Short Series. The admin (mostly, sometimes with a poll) would pick a car and three tracks each month and we would have some proper racing on tuesdays doing 2x 20min races.

Had much fun in some BARC Pickups, Mazda MX5 CUP, Suzuki Altos (660series) and some older Civic Cup Cars.

Cup cars are so much fun.

I wonder if fedi has other people that would wanna do that as well? Though figuring out a rules framework and all the other stuff sounds horrifiying.

I enjoyed that series because you were racing other people but the vibe was good and welcoming and its not just GT3s.

@Johann150 I know snow had some raid-issues yesterday... so it might be that

Joah das wird wohl nix mit 1. Mai-Demo heute.

Heute gibts Tee und Zuhause 😷

@desea Yeah I dunno. Just never was my jam really

I do have other creative outlets atleast
