Trying some commentary, feedback welcome. Forgot to get screenshots from the replay to make more professional looking cards.

Going to participate in this tomorrow. They're going to be running the 1974 RSR and the Current GTE RSR (Driver's choice). I wish I had better internet and I would stream it, unfortunately I do not.

I wanted to try to get into sim racing at one point, but to do it right would probably cost 3k-$4k.

I'd hate to get all that invested and find out I didn't like it.

I understand that. I dipped my toe in and wish I would have spent more.

See if there's some place near you that has sims you can come in and drive for an hour or so. More and more of these are popping up.

Results from the 2.4hr Nord endurance.

Qualified : 2nd in class

Held second until my only pit stop where I fell down to 3rd. I then over-pushed the car trying to get back within striking distance of 2nd place and spun at YouTube corner. Fell to 4th trying to get the car right way around. Had an amazing battle with 4th place that last 2 full laps, each passing each other and ended up pulling away. On the second to last lap I caught 2nd place due to it starting to rain but had hell keeping it on the track with slicks until we got back to the pits. That race beat the shit out of me but was a great time.

Finished: 3rd in class

Leadsalad Leadsalad these are the cars I love to drive the most. The most insane turbo noises you will ever hear.








EDIT: the last video has the best representation of the sounds. I may not be able to get this erection to go away tonight after hearing them again.

Well, I put the air cooler back on my 3080 (worst cooler of the EVGA line up for the poor thing) since I'm not able to get a 5090 at the moment. Fired up LMU and discovered 1) I don't know how to brake without ABS, and 2) flat spotted tires are miserable.

I picked up lmu and tried to get it working but had issues with my wheel and pedals not calibrating correctly. I couldn't find a resolution on the web sadly, I'll give it another shot after a few more patches.

I built this one more than 10 years ago, when Oculus first came out, thinking it would be fun to play space sims and driving sims. I have a separate flight stick platform that can be put in for flying games. Mostly it collects dust...

This is my biggest fear.

I would like them for the driving / flight games, but worry I'd put it all together for about $3-$5k...and then it just collected dust.

I feel like it's such a niche market too, that it would be hard to get much of it back due to such a limited resell market.

You can easily get 80% back from your purchase if you buy good stuff. Finding friends to race with is what keeps it going.
