It is feel, talent and practice. The mathematical equations happen naturally through talent. If you think about all that while driving you are just overcomplicating it. Read more

When in the garage acting as engineer, yes it is important to analyze all that. But my point is that on track there is no place for it. Drive and feel the car. After you are done, look at how you can improve it by using those physics. But this is engineering car. I am not talking about that. I am talking about using… Read more

You are miss understanding. I understand how to set up a car and can, and have engineered one myself. The difference is that nerd like behavior that I exemplify when parked in the garage is left behind when I lower my visor. Then I drive and feel the car. Once I am done I put my nerd hat back on and analyze what we… Read more

Here's the deal. If you engineer yourself (which I have done) you need knowledge of the physics and what the car is doing. But when the visor goes down and you go on track that information is completely irrelevant. Drive fast and feel the car. Once you pit turn back into the nerd and analyze what you need to do to the… Read more

My water description is because it is far simpler to understand for most. And that is literally all you need to understand. Everything else is feel, talent and practice. Those that say otherwise are usually useless drivers themselves Read more

Of course. And detailing the physics is important off track especially if you are your own engineer. But that is not relevant to driving fast. It is feel, talent and practice. Understanding slip angles will not make you faster. Read more

I think you will find most of my articles are very simple and without long spiels on technique and "physics" (hence this article). That is because I recognize it is all about practice and talent. Every article I write basically states to simplify it, practice and have fun. Which is basically what you are saying in… Read more

Listen yes and be a nerd off the track when talking to your engineers. But when you lower the visor and drive. Forget the physics and concentrate on driving. Read more

We might have that in the works too. Read more

Haha, I noticed that too. Read more

Try it again now. Many improvements have been made the last few months. I was impressed. Read more

I have never played it so couldn't comment but I am sure it is pretty cool too. There are a few good ones around, many of which I haven't used. Read more

To clarify that last statement "even better." I meant it will continue to improve and become far more fined. Not necessarily better than iRacing. Only time will tell on that. Read more

I am of course only talking about the mass used online game. I'm sure many do take parts (like the graphics engine you mention) and then improve upon it, but for what I wanted from a basic online sim, I simply wasn't sold on the track renditions. And for that reason I didn't explore it - as, at the time, I was solely… Read more

I don't race IndyCar this year, so no. I have done a comparison test on a few of their cars and found it very good. As I have iRacing and others. Is SimRaceway the best? No. That's why I wrote primarily about iRacing (which I like best). But, in a year or two I believe it will be even better. Read more

That works haha. I think any politician's name could be inputted and the end result would all be the same Read more

Suggestions? By your name I imagine a sports car fan? If so, Le Mans is the 1 race left on my bucket list. If I can find a way, next year i'll be there. Read more

Actually Alex Lloyd is not affiliated with SimRaceway in any way. I did a real life vs virtual life comparison test the other day and was blown away how much they have improved things the past few months. Their F1 is one of the best I have driven. And I have driven the real thing. Read more

The only bit I didn't like with rFactor was the tracks. They are just not as real as iRacing so for that reason alone (as used it solely to pre are on the track I was going to race at in real life) I just stuck with iRacing. Read more

She is a figment of my imagination Read more
