Oh yes.
If for no other reason than to count the number of times someone gets turns 2&3 wrong.

Keith Joyce · Oct 19, 2015

Yes please. Are turns 2 & 3 even possible with WTCC?

Fingers crossed. Here's what it does during the startup calibration, just keeps going like this until I unplug it.

Excellent!
Whenever I try to recruit any of my friends into sim-racing, they usually just look at me funny.......
Then again, that's what they usually do anyway, so it's hard to tell the difference at times

Lovely bit of kit and I'm jealous, but a pit babe would have worked even better.

I think you'll find that pit-babes are a bit more expensive.*
Well.....
In the long run anyway.

* Though I suppose that also depends on the babe.....
And presumably the pit it inhabits.

I showed this to my wife, her only comment was that it would need a super strength pit babe to get me in and out of it.:(

Well crap.....
Reality rears its ugly head, and....Long story short, I gotta be somewhere tonight.
I'll see if I can get back in time for the race, but right now that is looking rather iffy.
Sorry guys.

It's my team motto at work 'Stercus accidit' (sh*t happens)

Since the servers are down none of us might be racing tonight. I really wanted some practice today ah well.
