I just got the system & am trying out games for it. What game is the best for Le Mans type endurance racing?

Of course I understand that if you take the average sim player & plunk him down in an actual WRC or F1 car that he is not going to do as well as the actual drivers, I get that. What I mean though is...

If want them to never leave the ground lets reduce the horsepower to 200, increase the weight to 5k, make them block shaped & add a parachute to each corner.

Seriously. While all efforts to make...

The F1 race in Dallas? I don't know that I would point to that as an example, as it seems just about dead out of the water before the first race.

A couple of years ago when I predicted that no one in the US would ever again try & stage a street race this is the reason why. I'd make the same prediction again (seemingly this should be the final...

You might be right but still the IRL spent more time at speed than any other OW series in history. Compared to CART or CCWS the IRL raced at a higher speed more often than either of those two. And as...

I don't buy that it had any more propensity to get airborne than any other OW car. It just had more chances to get airborne because it was spending much more time at high speed than any other OW...

Yes and no. IMO if Dan's car would have been any manufacturer 2011 F1 & it crashed in exactly the same way the result would have been the same. Also, while it's true you can upgrade & make...

The thing everyone seems to be looking at and wanting to blame is the style of racing. Fast, close, wheel to wheel action on ovals. That being taken into consideration there has been just the one...

Thanks. Not more free time but I'm a fast builder & I juat spend (some) of my free time doing this instead of going to football games/walking the dog/going fishing/watching TV etc. It's just a matter...

There's about half a dozen guys who have made it their purpose in life to complain about and second guess every move Indycar has ever made. The amount of glea it brings them to run to the forum &...

Scalextric plastic track w/copper tape laid over the rails. It's the silvered copper which I think looks better.

Thanks guys. I will actually moving this out to make room for a new project soon, which means I hope to sell it. I've worked on it on & off for 4 or 5 years. It's Scalextric track that has been...

A little project I've been working on, enjoy!

The car will be safer than the old car. It will be faster than the old car. I believe they designed it to be "racier" than the old car in that you will able to pass.

Jesus Christ you guys sounds...

OK, fine. But SCCA club races aren't televised live w/a fixed time spot nor are the racers competeting for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money at the end of the year. IMO it's a whole...

First off I'm basically indifferent, if they want to go to standing starts on road/street circuits I'm OK with that. It changes things up a bit. Just keep the rolling starts on ovals.

That being...

Make it so the fan has to be there in attendance or call within 15 minutes to win. In other words, if Weldon wins, & they pull Larry Jone's name from Boise ID. out of the hat, he needs to call within...

The world of motor sports is constantly changing, whether it be NASCAR, F1, NHRA or Indycar. There are empty grandstands in all four major series. We are going through the worst economic downturn...

That's one way of looking at it. The way I would handle it though if they don't get any legit contenders who want to take a swing at it is to have an ad campaign that says:

"We offered 5 million...

Yeah. And it was also be interesting to see how much faster a Top Fuel dragster could accelerate than an F1 car. Or how much faster an F1 car would lap than a NASCAR. Or how much faster an LMP1 Audi...

To be fair many of these street circuits are much "tighter" than anything any other OW series races on, the cars are closer together speed wise (increasing the opportunities for close racing vs...

I'm OK w/a lotto for one race a year. I'm more than fine with it in fact, I think it's a good idea. The only downside was the long drawn out drawing.

If you can't get from the back to the front in...
