    Hey, it's technically ended, but I've not been well of late and haven't caught up with life enough to be sorting out the next one, so I'd be happy for you to submit an attempt over the course of this week :)

    Pisses me off no end when companies cheap out on IT equipment. I work in a place where a large number of us will be on £35 - £55k, yet the IT budget for each of us is less than 1% of our salary over 3 years.

    It's crazy. Don't employ professionals then give them low end enthusiast gear.

    That's a stonking lap mate. Hopefully I can find some time to attempt it later this week, but idk if that happens. I'd like to see what I can do with a better T1, Degna 1, and Spoon.

    Just watched the video. Your line through turn 1 is lovely. I'll have to use that on my next attempt. I was amazed by how later you brake in to the hairpin, but then you locked up and I felt better about myself haha!

    Edit: I'm sad we're the only people attempting this one :(

    Yeah, I'm definitely from the school of Jenson Button. You seem more Alonsp-esque, throwing the car in with more rotation on the wheel then letting the car grip mid corner.

    Things I'm taking from your video:
    -Degna 1 is flat holy crap.
    -Spoon cost me dearly.

    If I sort just those two things out, I'm easily on the 1.29.x range.

    It makes sense that the ERS system can be changed. It's one of those things that people can easily understand. Maybe I just change the rules there.

    I'm down to a 1:30.7, but I've realised I was running with Hotlap energy deployment. I'm pretty sure that's not the default though :/

    Another race for me in the MX5 at Rudskogen which started as well as it could and quickly went downhill from there. Can I recover and make it back to the podium postitons? Hope you enjoy it!

    My guess is that he's going to return. Can't see why you announce this early if he was leaving. I'm very torn here. I believe that most people deserve a second chance, but eurgh.

    No surprise there for the winner. Felt like an odd race, some really good passing, but somehow not that exciting. Thoughts?

    There's a delayed start to 17:05 local time. That's 35 minutes later than intended. This could be a very interesting one depending on what the very variable weather decides to bring today!

    Who will take pole today? Why am I asking, we all know it'll be Max ahahah. Still, the battle for P2 could be interesting, right!?

    Who will take pole position in today's qualifying? Will we see a surprise pole sitter? Will we get any running at all? I'm holding out for a competitive session, but I'd put it as 50/50 that it actually runs.

    We all love Spa, right!? Tell me about your favourite moments at Spa! I'm a big fan of [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yveFVn1DXPo): ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/53736d3e-c745-4349-86ac-83a794d13393.jpeg) But there have been many epic moments. Come join us over on [!simracing@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/simracing) where Spa is the current track for our Hot Lap Challenge!

    It's nearly time for lights out! Will Lewis be able to fend of Max? Can the McLarens move forward? Will the Alfas manage to stay high up the order, and can Danny Ric score points on his return to Formula 1? ~~Find out all this and more, next time on Dragon Ball Z!~~

    Hi all, Thanks for voting! The breakdown is as follows: ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/aec1470b-b948-40b2-a82d-295278fcc7b2.png) Surprised to see how low iRacing was here! AC, ACC, AMS2 and PC2 look to be the most popular track titles, with Dirt Rally 2.0 being the most popular rally title. Perhaps our hotlap challenge could have a short rally stage or two in it!

    Simple question really! Are any of you running a Custom ROM? Furthermore, are any of you running a De-Googled ROM? Why do you run your custom ROM, and what are the drawbacks?

    If lemmy.ml gets taken down, !simracing@lemmy.world now exists. I've locked it to mod posts only for now. I'll try to find time to backup the hot lap challenge threads. See: https://lemmy.ml/post/2286939
