  • The non PP limited races are a joke, IMO those should have the payout linked to the PP of the car. You take a 450 into a 550 race, double payout. Take a 650 in, half payout. Also maybe dont call it PP because it makes talking about it sound like a dick joke.

    IMO if you turn the difficulty up to hard and turn all the drivers aids off its plenty challenging for people new to sim racing, I see how veterans might find it a bit simple.

    I can almost write a dissertation on this shit but the advice I give anyone who is stressing about the scales is a bit counter-intuitive.

    Weigh yourself 4 or 5 times a day and write it down but dont give a fuck about the number for at least a month. If your diet and exercise are on point you just need to trust the process.

    Some people fluctuate wildly based on body water, women especially around their menstral cycle. If you wait a whole week between weigh-ins and you had a salty carb heavy meal the night before your weigh in you can have lost 2lbs but be holding 3lbs of water thats going to disappear by the end of the day.

    Essentially you need to get a feel for how much your weight swings on average throughout a day so when you have been doing everything right but the scales dont refect that you have a set of data you can examine to make sure you are overall trending the way you hope.

    Wrong terminology, It’s denser.

    If you take 2 people who are otherwise identical one with 10% bodyfat and one with 30% with the difference made up by muscle the 30% bodyfat guy will look way heavier even if they read the same on the scales.



  • I treat this one with a grain of salt, because its very good at some things and utterly fucking useless at others.

    I needed to know what company made the gearbox in a certain car. No matter what I searched in 3 different search engines all I could find was people wanting to sell me stuff for the gearbox or gearboxes. I spent an hour before I asked ChatGPT and it immediately spat out “The gearbox is a 4l80 produced by Aisin transmissions” which I then spent some time verifying. At the core if search engines hadnt been enshitified, ChatGPT would be nothing more than a novelty. But because they have, its a sometimes useful tool that anyone with half a brain verifies.

    If you treat it like gospel, yeah… your an idiot.


  • Its like when I talk about cars.

    I dont speak in make and model, I speak in chassis and engine codes. Replacing an engine is a 1 weekend job that I could do half drunk back when I was drinking. Unless you’re swapping the engine for something not meant for that car I would describe that job as big but easy.

    And then I remember a lot of people know make and model and thats it.
