Any of you guys play simulators? Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, etc?

Gran Turismo and Project Cars.

Never really liked the feel of F1 games. 

Anxiously awaiting Assetto Corsa. 

 

[zk1mpls]

Yes, we do.

Project CARS (I'm biased )
Assetto Corsa
Gran Turismo :\

Baku vs. Le Mans this weekend.... good time to stay at home. Although I wish I was at Le Mans right now. Free Practice at Le Mans ongoing right now. Qualy in a few hours.

We used to get Eurosport, but not anymore...

I assume you guys play PS4 since GT is in rotation

I was thinking about building a gaming rig to run sims on but I might just cop another ps4 with PCars again

I still have my wheel

I say Baku since its new and apparently very fast for a street circuit.

I'm not sure what to think about all those 90 degree turns but I'll wait till i see on track action.

Talk to @zk1MPLS  regarding rigs!

Too point-&-squirt for my liking.  Drivers don't seem to be too impressed too.  Hope it doesn't turn out to be another Valencia.

That turn-8 thru turn-12 complex though... right next to a castle... a freaking castle.

Just buy an Obutto. (this is coming from a guy who went DIY )

I was looking at the ozone last summer and was tempted by the price compared to the RSeat and Playseat

You built yours from scratch? Pics?!

From what I've seen so far, I'm excited for this new track.

I really like the part where they drive uphill and downhill. Plus a lot of narrow corners. 

 

[D Double]

This part looks awesome and concerninng at the same time. Haven't seen on track action yet though.

 

[Sinner]

The track's ok... like many have said, it reminds me of Macau... just bigger, more pristine and with a nicer surface. 

That T8-T12 section is nuts.  It'll be a slow, single-file crawl thru that.  Some of the other bits are tricky cuz if you miss your braking point, you'll head into the run-off area, where a 180-turn will cost you a lot of time.  There were also a lot of issues with the curbs breaking and cutting tyres, but I think they've fixed that.  That massive straight is... massive! 

 

[Sinner]

Thought this was a cool "highway" photo...

TIGHT.

 

[D Double]

I'm so excited for this race. The track really intrigues me.

There will be a safety car for sure though.

 

[Sinner]

I didn't get to watch the GP2 race, but I think only half the field finished.  With full fuel loads, so many cars are gonna overshoot turns.  Some might brake early to compensate, leading to cars from behind rear-ending them.  It could be a mess!

I'm excited too. I fell in love with this circuit already

I didn't watch the entire GP2 race, but what I saw was great. Very entertaining and many fights.  

 

[D Double]

Hamilton looking like a real rookie today.

Dunno what changed from yesterday to today.

 

[Sinner]

Some days you got it... some days you don't.

 

[D Double]

He was up on Rosberg's time but the braking zones just caught him out more and more.

At least the race should be even more interesting tomorrow.

 

[kanyeezy411]

GP2 race was very entertaining again. Hopefully the F1 race will be similar.

Either Lewis will drive excellent to get to the top, or he will miserably crash into a wall 

 

I think that we will see Safety Car at least two times.

None the less: Go Lewis! 

 

[D Double]

I'm expecting the worse for him this race based on those lock ups in qualifying but hoping for a damage limitation race.

 

[Sinner]

Absolutely gutted for Toyota... so, so cruel. 

 

[Sinner]

Lol... and here come the conspiracy theorists!  *Opens tab for MGP's Twitter*
