Sim Rally & Racing

Easily one of my favourite, hair raising and break neck rally stages across any game I’ve played, I reckon.

Have you ever experienced cheaters in simracing yourself?

Logitech have not long announced they’ve made a racing chair- I know there’s probably some you can get a lot cheaper but it looks neat! I’m in desperate need of upgrading to one of these- I currently use a desk which is not remotely suited to the job. Too high, can’t match my chair to the right angle/height, wobbles with the force of turning the wheel which in turn also wobbles my monitor etc…please tell me I’m not the only one with this setup? 😆

Hey everyone! I did a short stream where I drove Group B RWD for The Gamer’s Tavern Rally Championship in EA WRC. I drove the Lancia 037 and spent most of the time on full lock in some blizzard conditions and also mostly airborne 😂 I brought back the face camera so you can see how much I look like a dork while trying to fight with the car… haha. I wasn’t fast enough to catch EighthLayer this time…

We talk about driving assists in rally games using controller, we talk about weight distribution and brake bias, and we drive the hell out of this thing!

Feel free to comment and join in, I love talking cars, driving styles and all things sim racing with people!

The title promised by Assetto Corsa modding group turned game developer REG Simulations has entered early access on Steam.

Argentinian studio REG Simulations have been promising over the past year a sim racing title featuring content pertaining to their home country's racing scene, such as Turismo Carretera and TC2000. Along with that, many tracks within the Latin American country including Autódromo de Rosario, Autódromo Roberto José Mouras circuit and Autódromo San Nicolás are part of PISTA Motorsport.

It's that time again! Here's my gameplay from the first event in #TheGamersTavern EA WRC Championship!

This was based in Oceania and I was driving a 1988 BMW M3 Evo Rally. I had some real sketchy moments in this event, especially in the pouring rain during the night stages! Check it out below on our own hosted instance of PeerTube!

Anyone interested in this? I know it isn’t sim racing but you gotta admit, sometimes it’s ridiculously free after spending hours of meticulously trying not to crash a car to just go “ah fuck it! HNNNNRRRG” steer into opponents

🤤

EA WRC - TGT Championship - Rally Chile

I was absolutely flying in this event, only for it to tragically end in the last sector of the the last stage! 😫

Check it out below! :fediverse:

“As for features, we have BIG NEWS! This release will fully implement the New Damage Model on ALL VEHICLES in the entire service! That’s right, every single car will now benefit from the improved physics and visual experience brought by using the New Damage Model. A few vehicles have received special attention with this release, including the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) and the NASCAR Trucks Series Trucks. The Porsche has been updated to the latest available technical specifications, while the NASCAR Trucks Series Trucks have received significant updates and improvements based on research performed in partnership with NASCAR, as well as extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.”

Now I love me some Sim Racing. I know it’s an expensive habit that ultimately is cheaper than real life racing. But…c’mon…? Surely not?

EA WRC - TGT Championship - Rally Oceania

The next event in The Gamer's Tavern EA WRC Championship in Oceania with the McRae R4!

My entry could have been so much better if it wasn't for an incident in Stage 3! 🌉🚫

Check it out below! :fediverse:

A nostalgic racing game that combines the charm of classic retro style visuals with the thrill of international rally competitions.

It reminds me of Colin McRae Rally 2.0. What do you think?

EA Sports WRC is due for its latest update, 1.9. Included in the update is a whole raft of changes to the 'Moments' mode as well as VR adjustments and career mode changes. The main headline of this update, however, is not positive. EA's anti-cheat will be included and is rumoured to break the game entirely for users on the Steamdeck. Time will tell if this is indeed the truth.

A screenshot from EA WRC of a Peugeot 205 with serious damage but continuing to drive on valiantly!

Absolute monster of a car. Twin turbo V8. The sound of it was and still is incredible. Only tried it out a few times on Project Cars 2 and regularly crashed 😂

Check out some on board footage here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OQVWvNIzVSc&t=147s&pp=ygUkUm9iIHNoZXJyYXJkIG1lcmNlZGVzIHNhdWJlciBvbmJvYXJk

For me, nothing comes close to the MG Metro 6R4 in EA WRC. There’s just something about how it just clicks with my driving style, along with that amazing sounding naturally aspirated V6. I can’t describe it, there’s just a mutual agreement between me and the car where it just works 🤣

Anyone else have a similar thing in other games or even EA WRC?

Here's a post! Check out what happens at the end. That black car got some karma for agressive racing..

**Well that escalated quickly. ** Welcome everyone! 58 new members in such a short space of time is mad, wasn't sure whether lemmy held many people with sim racing interest but- looks like I was wrong! Feel free to post all things sim racing and sim racing. The whole idea behind this was to have an active space where we get to discuss this stuff!

Thank you for joining, and welcome!

Happy racing. Anyone got any clips of their gameplay to post?

This is some incredible quality onboard video of Oliver Solberg (yes, son of Petter Solberg!) absolutely owning the Sweet Lamb stage of Wales Rally. I don’t think there’s much other on board footage that comes close to this one in terms of quality that gives us an insight into what those old school rally cars drove like.

Hats off to Oliver here, driving it like a man possessed and not missing a beat- also in manual as well! It always saddens me somewhat when they put sequential gearbox into these classic rally cars.

Richard Burns Rally turns 20 at the start of July. With a title that has had such a monumental impact on the world of rallying in sim racing, what better way to look back at where the title started before the mods came into play...

I found some comedic value in this clip!
