I am not sure… Ben Braley has been kicking ass up and down the NE will be racing. I pinged him last night and asked for footage. We shall see!
(FYI he’s the fella I did my most recent “moral spot check” when I shut him out of eos turn at etown because reasons. Apologies work!)
Is it sim? Well, maybe in that some of us can’t chew gum and drive at the same time…
Goodbye, Fruit Stripe
The iconic gum, which has been sold since the 1960s, came in five flavors: Wet n’ Wild Melon, Cherry, Lemon, Orange and Peach. Each pack came with a temporary tattoo of its mascot, Yipes the Zebra.
I’ve got the clutch (and the Fanatec H-pattern/sequential shifter). I got them to simulate IRL driving, and it was great for teaching my son how to heal & toe in an iRacing Miata instead of abusing the gearbox in his real Miata.
In iRacing 99+% of the time, I just use the paddle shifters, and I only use the clutch when leaving the pits… just out of habit. That said, I just thought of this, I wonder if you could configure the clutch as a “hand brake” for drifting, trucks, etc… 
I wonder if I’d enjoy clutching. It seems slow but the Iracing has cars that need blip stuff.
Clutching is slow (and it eliminates the opportunity to LFB). You won’t achieve ultimate pace, but if you want to simulate actual driving (in certain cars), then clutch can be good. I have not found any iRacing cars that you can’t up/down shift without the clutch, but for sure some do require an manual blip when downshifting, especially into the lower gears.
At some point, also, I will emerge from my fog of chaos and start working on the stuff we discussed, fyi. Life is sort of in way.
@Awa regarding poor quality shorts…

No worries; life always comes first. I hope you and yours are well!
No clutch for me, my Heusinkveld clutch just chills in a cabinet in my office. My wheel has clutch pedals so it’s redundant. I like having the extra space in the foot area.
I’ve been doing a lot of prep for the Daytona 24. We have a really strong lineup of guys running every class. GT3-LMP2-GTP. Should be a blast!
Our LMP2 team has an average iRating of around 4500 so hopefully that gets us in the top couple of splits.
Damn your IR is getting up there!
I hit 3K a couple of weeks ago. I’m trying to get to 3.5K by Daytona, but I don’t think it will happen since I’m doing more testing/tuning rather than racing. Not bad that I’ve made it into the top 10% in only 5 months.
Probably could have hit 3.5K if I stayed out of IMSA races (giant dip in the graph). I hit 3K then dropped back down to 2700 just to grind back to 3K.
I got close to 3k and then torpedoed myself.
I am thinking I’ll start racing again. Just not sure what.
I prefer the less popular series. At times I wish there were more people to race against, but the people that are there are usually the safer drivers.
wellp my mid-oval baby indy car series seems to be wildly un-popular. I may have to dive in. Historically I not only did well at oval, I was also perfect safety rating. Which is odd given how pack stuff gets crashy.
So the simhub optional heelstop played havoc with my install. Also, Neils… some of us left foot brake… give us a longer cable length so we can widen the throttle/brake positions on the baseplate. The length of the cord limits you.
The heelstop had to come off a couple times to get stuff beneath it tightened up properly, but finally I’m done. I’m also using the optional pedal tray slider which adds a layer to the sandwich.
Edit: Tested the pedals in game. Big improvement.
It works
And in other news, my most successful sim video has hit 25K views. Who knew folks would be interested in a hopping kart.
My third most successful video is also of a hopping kart at 15K views.
I wonder how many views Norberg on a hopping kart would get.
First race in forever, didnt go according to plan 
I will check it out. Good for you though, I got my new pedals and haven’t played at all.
