GWJ's Racing Dorks

The Racing Dorks League is going to take a holiday for the upcoming Holidays, but we do plan on having a silly race for no points but all the glory. This would be the perfect time for any of the Goodjers who are a bit intimidated by our racing prowess to join in for some silly you probably won't finish with all four wheels action.

One of four upcoming Black Friday deals at Fanatec:

Offer 1 is the fancy inverted pedals, but no one seems to like the loadcells Fanatec use on those.

Too bad it's Xbox.

It works on PC too.

I know, but I have a PC and PS4.

It's official! We are having the silly race tonight at 9pm EST. Come and join us. We don't know what we are going to be racing, but it's for no points and all the glory.

Welp, it is time to wreck some havoc. The next event has a date. It will be Wednesday the 17th at 9PM EST. Why will havoc be wrecked you ask? We will be at Monaco. We couldn't make it around Zolder without one car blowing up. Imagine what we will do at Monaco.

You should have an bet on how many meters are covered before the first real wreck.

We couldn't get through turn one, lap one at Hockenheim or Silverstone. This is going to be spectacular.

Like a Michael Bay movie.

Will this be the first race where we invoke a restart?

LTTP, but are you still playing Project Cars 1? On PC?

We are. I think we mentioned switching games next season but nothing concrete.

We'll switch to Pcars 2 when Pcars 3 is out.

I just put in a ton of practice laps and... this is going to be something.

My fastest lap didn't feature any of my fastest sectors and I also duffed the barriers at Portier with a sideways slide. So that's fun.

With a heavy car and 4x tyre wear this is going to be more of a survival horror game for cars.

That sounds amazing.

With Pcars wonky collision physics I will be suprised to make it past lap 1.

Netcode is going to fire someone into the harbour. My money's on toph.

I'll be putting the "dork" in Racing Dorks from here on out.

We'll probably be fine at Monaco provided it doesn't rain...

I've started a playlist of my stream archives, including ours most recent race. I'll try to keep it up to date as the season progresses:

Lupus - what happened at the 12:40 mark? Run out of gas or something?

Also, when a car is a red dot or green dot on the mini-map, what does that mean?

Red dots are cars that are in one place directly behind you. Green means they are cars that are one place ahead. White/Grey dots are cars that you have either lapped or have lapped you and won't change your place if you pass or get passed.

Nevermind, I didn't realize you were still running test laps.

If you're watching that first session (Oulton) that looks like it was during qualifying, and I figured that last lap I put in was about as good as it was going to get.

Red dot is the next driver ahead, green dot is the next driver behind.

Well, I would just like to apologize in advance for the...colorful language that will come out of my mic.

Oulton Park - Race One Start

Oulton Park - Race Two Start

The grid for race two is reverse of the race one finish. Race one winner starts in last place, which leads to... shenanigans.

Silverstone - Race One Start

Silverstone - Race Two Start

*Silverstone note - We found out you can completely cut corner one without penalty at Silverstone. We decided the best way to deal with this was just to let everyone cut.

Scary Tree 300 - Race One Start

Scary Tree 300 - Race Two Start

This is what the front of Oulton Park Race 2 was like.

I think my tyres were a lap older than Mav's, so I was braking earlier. On that last lap my braking caught him by surprise and he had to swerve to avoid me, which is a shame as that was a really fun fight.

I don't buy it, Mav. I zoomed in and saw him drop some caltrops and oil. I'd protest the race if I were you.

Bismarck won again!
