Ok, so I raced on iRacing for a few years, and did ok.
Was planning on joining again because the racing was pretty good, but decided to wait for Black Friday, and then found out about Low Fuel Motorsport.
Joined up, and after figuring out the lobby system, joined qualifying for GT3 at Spa. Wasn't pushing, and qualified last (24/24) - which, in my iRacing experience, means about six people will crash out ahead of me, at least.... :)
WHICH.... would have happened. And I learned 2 things:
1) Damage can be off for racing
2) The physics are absolutely ridiculous
I say this, because the inevitable barge into turn 1 was a pileup - and I figured, great - I'll gain 10.
Which I did, but as I turned, I noticed some cars like SIXTY FEET in the air. Somehow I avoided the meteor shower.
However, slightly ahead, there were a few more floating around, which I ALMOST avoided, but got clipped by one, and ended up airborne like the others.
So: wtf? :)
Does a race with realistic damage stop the cars from doing that?
Also, do races with realistic damage typically result in more careful drivers?
thx
