If you’re new to sim racing, I suggest something like Project Cars or Assetto Corsa. Once you know what you’re looking for and are sure that you want to race primarily (or exclusively) online, that’s when you make the move up to iRacing. Get your learning out of the way on something significantly cheaper, it won’t

One big part I think is not wanting to appear to be the undercard, IndyCar wants to portray themselves as the bigger series (because apart from the 500 they’re at risk of not being anymore). Besides, IMSA already has their own full paddock of support races that benefits them more long-term than adding an IndyCar race

I know, right?

One of my favorite hidden gems of the internet. It’s amazing how interesting simple line drawings on prototype aero can be.

The best site for visualizing the differences between DPi cars and their LMP2 base chassis:

I’m sure they all have half a billion behind some seat cushions to run a competitive LMP1 program for 5 years...

Of course, then the problem remains getting two people jobs outside the city on the same side of said city, when they both work a particular industry that tends to cluster inside said city.

Totally, audio only presenting costs a lot less, with less equipment and staff. No idea how much the presenters get paid as well.

That’s how the Fox broadcasts have been. I’d love to know how IMSA Radio manages to send their commentators to every race when Fox can’t.

And the #5 got a penalty for unjustified risk pushing his teammate into the grass, which put the #22's teammate in the #2 back into the lead.

What should have been an awesome race has now been mickey-moused into lameness. Not one but TWO chicanes, and the added loop on the infield breaks up what little flow the track had before. Instead of being a challenge for the Cup drivers to really let them show their talent, it’s going to be a lame point-and-squirt

Exactly. My wife and I bought a car from CarMax last month when her old car lunched its engine. We weren’t interested in being forced to sit in a dealership when we just wanted to test drive. They not only let us test drive over the course of days before buying, but also brought in a car from a nearby lot to let us

I think it’s at least 3, rather than at best 3. I’m fine with being skeptical of their performance until we see them on track, but let’s not write them off yet.

They’ve already been slowing the OEMs every year, it just doesn’t work against the metric tons of cash they’re spending.

What makes you think they can’t fill a grid of 60 cars next year without them? Particularly with BMW joining GTE, a lot more LMP2 teams ready to compete, and what looks to be a solid LMP1 Privateer resurgence.

I’m betting against that happening. The two series need such entirely different things, I doubt they can come to an agreement.

The ACO is taking another stab at equalizing hybrid OEM cars with the P1 privateers. Between slowing the Toyotas 3s/lap and a raft of freedoms for the privateers, they might actually get there. The idea is that since they know there won’t be another factory until 2020 at the earliest, they better make sure it’s one

So does the Cruze Eco above.

Yeah. It has made me stop playing. My favorite decks to play were mill decks, and between this and Jade Druid there’s no point anymore.

Yeah, as much as I love the A10, I have no problem with a replacement. My concern is the rush to decommission the A10 with no replacement for the tasks it has excelled at, in a way that certainly appears to be disingenuous. The A10 can’t last forever, of course, but I’m unconvinced the F35 is the right replacement.
