Still haven't found the fast part but I definitely found the spinning part.

Got a link for that Rift news?

IMO they need more work with their driver/SDK than the screen.

I read that news story and I think it's bull****. It was written by outsiders who were speculating and making a lot of mistakes and bad assumptions about the development. 2016 will be too late for Oculus, they have to get the first mover advantage with CV1. If someone releases some crappy VR it could really put the market off VR. That's the balance they need to strike, be out there first with a product that might be less than they want and miles better than anything else.

It would make most sense to do a 1440 screen at 80 or 90hz, then CV2 could have some time for the standards to support 4K or do a double screen. I predict we will all be racing in our consumer version rifts by next Christmas. I feel like it's the software that needs to catch up now. Anything running DX9 gives some judder.

My apologies Tom. I don't have any excuses. I closed up quicker than I expected, through that section and must have gotten a really good run over the hill. That must be a place where we take very different lines and mine was faster at that point, because I didn't see any mistake on your part. I tried to type sorry, but my comm channel got buggered.

Good win Tony, hope I made you sweat as the gap was closing every lap!

Nice race guys, Internet booted me first time that has happened in about a year. Justin was fun there for awhile, you had a couple good saves.

Yeah, it was fun Burkey. I don't think I've gotten slower... at least I hope not. You guys have all gotten a ton faster.

Where are we headed for next season? Another place in North America? Europe? Asia? Maybe we should pack up our gear and tour the southern states next.

Sebring, Daytona, Barber, COTA, Indianapolis, Charlotte

Thanks Justin. Ive actually been trying to control my driving. If I am lucky enough to be a decent amount ahead of the person behind me. Ill drive 75-80% to ensure I dont make a careless mistake. With that being said…I wasn't paying attention and you went from being 7sec behind to 2sec behind. Yes, for every second of the last 5 minutes I was sweating and waiting for the with flag. lol

Jim had me driving in my mirrors, but I definitely controlled my emotions better this week.

If I didn't bullocks it up in the last two after passes, I probably would have three straight top fives. -_-

Stephane: "your OTHER LEFT."

LMAO. I didn't know you were talking to me and I was trying to get a tow down the back straight.

Justin, no more DanLisa scoring?

Sigh...fun race until I decided to loop it in T5 about halfway through. It's pretty frustrating because consistency is one of my strongest points in the real cars, but just can't seem to get it in iRacing. Oh well...more practice can't hurt.


Congrats on the win Tony. I agree with JustinL, a lot of people have gotten a lot faster since our last season, pretty cool to see.

Great racing for sure. Chris I kept hoping you would make a mistake but it'd had to be a big one as we seemed stuck at a 0.7-0.9 interval! I just could not make it happen. Kick *** time for sure.

I hate Mid-O but I think this is the 2nd time I've run here with you guys where I've finished with 0 incident points. LOL.

Hell of a finish for 5th with Phil.... sheezus! That was close!

Video compiling now, will upload overnight, should be ready in the morning.
