He wrote off the Aero a long time ago.
I thought I remembered you having an IPD on the larger side, like 72 or more ?

Yep, ipd 71, which does eliminate a few HMDs unfortunately.

Having a lot of fun trying out EA WRC and i haven't even set it up properly yet.
The whole tactile set in Simhub still needs to be done properly, but i think i have the basics of the motion covered.

Fingers crossed EA supprises us with a proper VR release this week
(do not buy VorpX to try WRC in VR, because it sucks.....)

I did a full engine overhaul on the BMW trackcar a couple of months ago

After that there was the mandatory run in period of 1500km, which is not fun which a car that's not ment to be driven on normal roads.

Yesterday i took to the track for the first time again. It was a wet day at Zandvoort, but that doesn't mean it's less fun.

We could have wished for better weather, but i still had a blast on the GPdays Track day on Zandvoort last week.

The first 2 hours were (almost) dry, but after 11:00 we had to switch to the rain tire and still had a lot of fun in the wet.

More pictures of the wet part of the day will be uploaded later, the great thing about the rain is that it's a great equalizer.

[HoiHman]

Thanks Peter, the great thing about the GPdays trackdays is that all pictures made that day are included in the arrangement.

 

[Peter Winkler]

Nice BMW.

Do you notice any benefits from simracing that carry over into real life track? What do you typically do while simracing to help maximize your real life performance?

Thanks,

Sim racing helps a lot for getting to know the track layout and driving lines. Especially when you race in VR with laser guided tracks it feels like you already have been there, event though it's your first time on track in real life.

In real life you will be extra careful at those corners where you easily made a mistake in the sim.

On my very first lap ever on the Nordschleife i overtook 6 cars, which almost all had more horsepower and were potentially faster. I assume they were probably, just like me, driving there for the first time

So it definitively helps a lot, but it stops there.

In real life you can only go off once. The fear factor of knowing that one mistake can be very costly and/or very dangerous is a huge factor. Second the adrenaline makes the real thing so much different from the sim.

I did catch some slides in real life but i'm not sure if i would have lost the car of not without sim racing experience, since it is a natural reaction to what the car is doing.

To sum up, sim racing does help for preparing for track day on unknown tracks of big tracks like the Nordschleife.
