@@ryanleigh9417 LOL

the MX-5 who flies by us at the end getting pushed by a GR86 lol

@Sheppardd lol, it's what I thought 🤣 playing with matches, eventually you get burned... that track and the race finishes though, never ever the same finish as much as one might strategize ahaha

@@ScientiaCras2 yeah for sure, that's the one thing i really enjoy about these slipstream tracks with the MX-5. you just can't predict or set anything up, and it's always a mystery until that last straight to the finish line.

oopsa ^^

@ yeah, my friend was driving the car who bumped him. the cars ahead were 4 wide and the highest car got loose and shot up into the barrier, then down the track directly at the pair of cars. the car ahead braked hard with my friend too close behind from bump drafting to be able to react in time and he spun his rear around. this message ended up coming like 2 laps later lol

@@DexterStanley-ee4nc Hey, thanks for the kind words! The setups I run for the Global Mazda MX-5 Cup car are made by my good friend Michael Folds, who builds setups over at outlierspeedco.com/ .

@@mdpsimracing yeah, this crash was with an AI driver, and was caused by some issue briefly with the internet of the server host

The rookies showing on the leaderboard are AI drivers added into our weekly test server for my iRacing setup shop team (outlierspeedco.com/). We add some AI for testing to get a better feel when driving the car in a large pack, and they're also just fun to mess around with and battle in practice. The usual tell for a real driver vs. AI on a standings overlay from apps like Racelab, Kapps, etc, is if there's an iRating value displayed next to the Rookie license. Rookie drivers, though not displayed on the iRacing app anywhere, still earn and lose iRating as rookies. If you see a rookie license with an iRating value, it's a real person. If it's blank, then AI.

yes i see ;-) 56..... my best is a 57.1

@@GluecksGaertner nice time! it’s pretty tough this week, especially with the night time and the cool track. tire warmup takes a solid 3-4 laps. i know some drivers will pull as low as 56.0 this week, which feels like a massive amount to find with the limited corners. i think part of my issue is that i right foot brake and its hard through the first few corners to switch pedals quick enough to keep the car balanced

@@GluecksGaertner its also worth noting that you can turn in slightly earlier at turn 4 , running the right side of the car over the inside kerbing, to get a better line and carry more through the corner + get on throttle earlier. i ran out slightly wide on this lap but it was my fastest race time

@@Chestaa_ This is the Nikodem Szaszka Box 5 Formula Polish league

@@abcarpinchosimracer thanks, i felt confident in the setup but had just too much understeer for my liking

@@Sheppardd yeah, I always feel the A320 Neo lacks a bit of downforce, the Boeing 737 instead is a bit oversteery on corner entry, making it faster but also trickier to taxi with. I think we need to adjust the rear wing levels

Thanks Anto

Yes,.. awesome! Almost 3 sec fatser than G'n'G reference lap!

@ Hope my lap can help! The setup I use is from outlierspeedco.com/

I say very nice driving there

@@30SRacer appreciate it

yay

@@jd2012 yes i do, but note that this replay lap was saved by a friend in another country and there is a lot of latency when he spectates me, causing the downshifts/upshifts to sound quite weird compared to how they normally sound. i left this practice server without saving the replay file by accident

@ Would you say it is a lot slower to learn blip by myself? I would like to feel the car more mostly for irl purpose, but I am curious if people on your level drive without any shift aid and still can be that fast in mx5.

@@Sheppardd.

@@jd2012 A lot of top drivers in the MX-5 Deep Dive Discord community did a lot of testing and telemetry analysis to determine that auto blip is equally as fast + consistent as manually blipping. It apparently used to not be this way at some point but isn’t the case these days. My biggest issue is that I right foot brake lol. Updated Detroit lap with quali + lap WR, i’m going to unlist the video we’re commenting on now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h53VlJ6AZslrjtEsi=rqbPfQC9qjsHAqMU

hey there im new to iracing, have you changed anything about the mx5 setup? Im running the standard setup currently and dont know anything about it and would like to improve. Thanks

Yeah the MX-5 is an absolute blast to drive. Glad my comments in this race could help out!

HTC VIVE (original/1080p), NVIDIA 3080TI GPU, I9-9900K CPU, ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero board, Corsair Vengeance 64GB ram. This was recorded a couple years ago but regardless of specs, I think what makes this single screen interpretation look so clear is the plugin I used to capture it within OBS. I used OpenVR input 1.1 (obsproject.com/forum/resources/openvr-input-plugin.534/) which gives a more accurate field of view and less warped perspective by pulling a feed directly from the mirror surface in full res, vs doing a display capture or window capture of my SteamVR/AC window.

that’s awesome!! i was just spectating my friends on this stream as they raced, unfortunately i didn’t race this year

@@jamesmini-cooper2352 Hey! I run MX-5 setups built by Michael Folds at Outlier Speed Co ( outlierspeedco.com )

@@Sheppardd does the OSC one work for the Nurburgring gp?

@@Sheppardd do you use the okayama setup on the nururgring

@@jamesmini-cooper2352 I use the Nurburgring GP setup. The Okayama setup is for the upcoming week of Advanced MX-5 which will begin on Tuesday in GMT (Week 6). The current week at Nurburgring GP ends today
