Iracing - Skip Barber - Awesome fight at Laguna Seca

[Deniz1923]

Great battle; while the soundtrack isn't bad, would've loved hearing the engine brake noise in terms of what you guys were actually doing. Still nice job overall.

[surrehue333]

Luke Mclean! :P He's drivingin the official Road Series now. What about Max?

[MaxD79]

@surrehue333 Max is in PAUSE MODE ..will back soon probably in 1 or 2 week.

[PorschePunk]

auto trans with two-footed braking is the only way to achieve this kind of control....

[iestyn16]

Great battle !

[HotSIzZle12]

More action here than the inaugural f1 race (2010)

:D

[flyingastronomer]

stunning soundtrack Max...I know Luke from GPL, he is brill and so are some other GPL ers who dont do this sim.

Nigel

[MaxD79]

He is.

it is one of the best experience i had on iRacing untill now.Fast driver,great driver, freindly driver,fair driver.

[flyingastronomer]

Yeh ...top bannana ! U played GPL?

I have a swivel wheel/momo red....no F/F its useless-is a swivel a disadvantage, Max?

[MaxD79]

depends by car\game. 270 degree is a disavantage according to me in iRacing at least.

[flyingastronomer]

OK thanks- I was thinking in terms of stick shifter, I have paddles....and pedals too....is a g25 any better?

[MaxD79]

yeah it's really better. At first you will find the wheel a bit thin but once u get used to it, you will notice a better confort overall during races.Sry for the late reply lol

[MERSLK230]

HEY! Thats me in 3rd place.

[MaxD79]

once u get the corskrew rithm it's quite easy, important is to have a good braking line and dont brake too late.

So according to me the hardest one also becouse it's important for all the uphill straight is the turn 6.

[MakikouZ]

Can i have your impression of which corner is harder, the Corkscrew or the edgy Turn 6 before it.

[megawes5]

Awesome race and awesome job on the editing. Would have been cool with the engine sounds and an overly excited commentator. Great job!

[MaxD79]

Sorry i'm not so good in doing that. I'll try to do a better video next time (also i hate that black space around the video :-( )

[megawes5]

Yeah what's up with the black spacing. Was that from Fraps or the edit? Every time I try and record anything with fraps it shutters really bad and is unwatchable. What's the trick?

[MaxD79]

Ok solved all fraps issue. Next time i'll do in HD too and without borders. I think border things is a youtube correction. They explain how to do somewhere. I just record video from FRAPS in full resolution (1680*1050) with sound (now works) and 30fps or 50fps fixed.

[megawes5]

Cool, I'll figure that fraps thing out one day. I might just have too slow of a computer (which I thought was good enough). Anyways I'm Curious to know what kind of wheel/pedals you are using. I'm using a G25 and been iracing for a month now. Thanks Wes K.

[MaxD79]

Same m8. G25 and also Luke without andy race cockpit, we are rude old sim-player :-) Just a chair and a desk eheheh.

[megawes5]

Well that debunks my theory of you fast guys having the most awesome setup or wheel ever. I've gone the distance and made up my own cockpit. I've hung the pedals added a 13" wheel use a SST shifter have a buttkicker and even have a 4 point harness for those really long races. Some might laugh at that but it helps to prevent the old pigeon neck. Keeps me planted and relaxed. =D

[minerl99]

Max, you should post this on the iRacing forums. I can only imagine how good the World Drivers Championship races will be with 30 guys on the track all at this level. It's too bad I don't think you'll get to participate in this season's Pro Series. Should be some great racing. I expect to see you next season though. Good luck!
