My messy corner. And my somewhat compact rig. I've never posted before so unsure what information to include but I'll give it a go.

  • T300RS
  • R838 Mod wheel
  • ebay arduino handbrake
  • TH8A shifter
  • Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals
  • Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0
  • Some pieces of wood
  • Acer Nitro 37.5" QHD+ 3840 x 1600 display

I'm a bit insane... so I drive all the displays with a Radeon W6800 Pro which works surprisingly well for gaming despite not being intended for it.

I use Linux exclusively and have for over 10 years now. Racing is a more recent hobby but I've been gaming much longer than that. Despite what all the youtubers say it all works mostly fine. Though I found hid-tmff2 to be the most mature of the wheelbase drivers outside of logitech which is why I haven't picked up a used DD wheel base just yet.

EDIT: Dunno why the pic won't upload, maybe a bug with Lemmy 0.18.1? Anyway I added an imgur link instead.

Comments and (kind) constructive criticism welcome. I’m still a newbie and looking to improve.

I had this fun race a few days ago; not my best performance but it had a bunch of action in the first half.

Comments and (kind) constructive criticism encouraged. I’m still a newbie.

I’ve never modded AC before, but I’m looking for some new content.

What are everyone’s favorite mods?

Any good tracks with elevation changes?

I finally upgraded from a G27 to a CSL DD. Wow what an upgrade. If you’re on the fence - do it. You feel so much more of what’s happening on the road. Instantly became more consistent and a tiny bit faster.

Are there any communities for Assetto Corsa Competizione particularly? I can't seem to find any. If no, is there interest in one? Looking for my daily dose of ACC :)

There aren't many if us here, but it might be fun to get some friendly competition on the go. Maybe run a sim / track / car combination for a couple of weeks and keep a leader board if we're feeling fancy.

Just added the tablet live dashboard to my ever-changing sim racing rig.

I really like the way it turned out. It's just an old Galaxy Tab4 attached to the desk with a car mount. Running SimHub and Simhub Android app.

It allowed me to stop using RaceLabs Advanced Panel Overlay which I was looking to do. Plus it looks neat.

Some info about the rig for anyone who cares...

3 random 24in curved monitors. 75hz, 144hz, 75hz mounted to a desk via monitor arms.

The next thing I'm looking to upgrade to is a better triple monitor mount. My current setup allows for too much sagging.

Cheers!

My obsession with sim racing has grown significantly, and I've thoroughly enjoyed pushing my limits to enhance my skills. I wanted to keep track of my progress and potentially participate in competitive events in Assetto Corsa.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon some fantastic options for competitive racing.

One of my personal favorites is the World Sim Series (WSS), which boasts a user-friendly web interface and offers a wide range of racing opportunities.

Another exceptional choice is United Racing Data (URD), a comprehensive platform that caters to all your racing needs.

For thrilling live hot lap competitions, I highly recommend checking out SetupsAndTimes and RSRLiveTiming.

To experience a more realistic racing atmosphere, Sim Racing System (SRS) organizes races where participants are required to register using their legal names, ensuring fair competition.

If you're interested in learning more, I've provided additional details about each of these options.

Are there any other platforms you use that I haven't mentioned?

My pick is crew chief for a better spotter alternative.

So I was thinking we could do a hosted race on iRacing or in a Assetto Corsa lobby with everyone here. What’s your take on it?

193
 
 

I regularly check racedepartment.com and used do check simrace247.com but the latter is kinda overwhelming.

What sites can you recommend?

It's silly week at iRacing and I had quite a surprise start at VIR. P21 to P5. This is just a clip opf the start of the race; the rest of the race was pretty boring so I didn't bother posting it.

I'm on the list but jonesing for more impressions of Rennsport's beta.
