I enjoyed it cool stuff

[@CameronMcMillan22]

Given that it is AC trailer day, 'Mod(erator) Support'?

[@simmerdowntom]

"Traxion Control"... Still top of my list for a potential name...

[@simmerdowntom]

Also, John!! A "name-storm"?? 😂😂

[@PJTierney]

Traxion Control is a damn good name.

[@EikeSky]

Does this mean that episode after episode, you're going to become more and more safe with your opinions and the tangents are going to be less and less? :D But also, by this logic, this episode is TC0, and having ACE be part of the show is *chefs kiss*

[@projectkurvz9424]

Good format, shame that Fanatec are in the position they are, but hey really dropped the ball and became very complacent, I hope that Corsair make a decent effort with it. I'm still rocking a DD2 will use it till it breaks, will choose what is the best from my needs and budget when the time arises, keep up the good work lads, BTW 30 something old hahaha I'm still on the sim rig but every year I get a new ache or pain to deal with. When I had speed and reasonable reaction times I didn't have the kit I yearned for now I can afford better kit I'm too damn old and slow (born in the 60s sim racing towards the future slowly !

[@TraxionGG]

Thank you for listening and keep up the sim racing!

[@Nick_Kearney]

You guys keep referring to those old Codies games as TOCA. For us in Australia many of those games were called V8 Supercars.

[@TraxionGG]

Yup, and in Germany DTM Racer we believe too!

[@PJTierney]

Nice, new podcast format 😎 Suggestion in your description: You don’t need to put the end timestamps for your chapters, it may cause functionality issues on some devices. Starting timestamps is ok, check any of the major podcast channels on KZbin and you’ll see the template/format 👍🏻

[@TraxionGG]

Thank you for watching PJ! Apologies, that was me being dim-witted with the timestamps, thank you for the flag and they have now been amended - THL

42:56 - the pun police on their way to the scene of the crime

[@simmerdowntom]

Tama-dog-chi... there's really no excuse for that...

[@deanothemanc5281]

Good stuff, enjoyed this format. Good banter with some interesting topics. Had to skip the Grand Tour bit as I've still not watched the last one. Keep up the good work. Potential future subject could be the history of perifials in sim racing.

[@TraxionGG]

Thank you, we shall make more soon!

[@EikeSky]

Got every intent to be chatting to you all at SRE! Will be lovely to meet Tom in the flesh... The Tom I haven't met already XD

[@Gdad-20]

Nice one again fellas 👍

[@TraxionGG]

Cheers!

[@flightis3dollars]

Good stuff fellas.

[@TraxionGG]

Thank you!

Ironic you’re talking about Trak Racer bringing in sim racing hardware while talking about Fanatec’s awful customer service… Trak Racer’s customer service is just as awful. Wouldn’t touch their own products with a barge pole. Just a comment on this podcast though - I love it. Keep it up, as there aren’t many, if any, in sim racing with the insider knowledge you guys have.

[@TraxionGG]

Thank you, we shall aim to create more!

Nice idea!

[@madhaz3359]

First! Makes a change lol

[@madhaz3359]

I bought into Fanatec very recently - I ordered the 8nm ready to race kit with the bmw csl wheel - after 2 weeks the wheel would sometimes fail to shift up ( gutted) I didn't want to be without a wheel for weeks so I ordered the Mclaren gt3 wheel to tide me over while I sent the BMW wheel off for repair. Not Ideal but... Fanatec handled it all very well . Support ticket excepted no problems , wheel replaced without question . All this during their most turbulent time? I don't regret buying into fanatec atall and look forward to the future. I do hope under corsair we get to order fanatec stock from other retailers though.

[@TraxionGG]

Bravo!

[@TraxionGG]

@@madhaz3359 Happy to hear it and enjoy your new sim setup!
