@@yellowflag9945 you mean back like posting? I’ve been building a little something special for 12 hours a day every day for the better part of a year. Every millimeter, exposed surface etc was considered. It’s mostly to aid my weekly videos during the season. Lots of people are talented, brave, or dedicated to racing enough to actually go on track line this OC. So I’m Going to try to help ppl see the value in sim racing. It’s not a just a gimmick. So if a dummy like me can build from scratch solely with my hands something KZfaq hasn’t seen, it’ll prove literally anyone can. Did I underestimate the intensity of the learning curve especially in software? It’s possible haha but now that I’ve spent 80% of the time failing in what doesn’t work, I’ve truly worked out what does and what is most effective to get people racing to help them fall deeper in love with racing. That’s the strategy atleast. I’ll have the largest manufacturers in sim racing as sponsors and collaborators. My only weak spot right now is pedals. This way I can do giveaways, contests, etc all directly funded and distributed by the actual manufacturer eg Next Level Racing. It’s all built just got a late sponsor who may be interested with Ascher Racing sniffing around. I’ll finish pitching them today. But I don’t see any reason I can’t start my “Sim Saturdays” Series before end of February . At that point things will kick off like normal but even faster with a few going out a month on top of weekly race stuff

you wouldnt let go off your wheel, would you?. he had less than 0.2 sec of reaction time and the white car took the half of the road when he crashed, (the front was to the direction he was turning to) so he would have to go on grass turn right to go back on the track, which then he would have to turn right as there was a turn, with wheel damage and front wing damage, and a nearly destroyed wheel.
