NASCAR 25 on my ClubSport DD+ feels pretty good! Only thing I dont like is having it hooked up to my PS5 instead of my PC. I might get my old T150 out the FFB is great but its not detailed enough to need a direct drive wheel.

Controller was starting to get frustrating

My problem with NASCAR 25 is my immersion breaks too much and i have to mess with 5 of the different sliders to maybe fix it

Zack @dreamyzackracin.bsky.social · 1d

They should have checked if kyle busch was actually in the car

Arcadey like driving is fun and the car slips sometimes on corner exit. Feels good on controller. Definitely not as sim as iRacing.

Zack @dreamyzackracin.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah getting to level 5 is just like. Oh. Okay. I assume everything gets more expensive in higher series but no rivals system or. anything else that really carries over is kinda lame

Im a perfectionist im sitting here like trying to make the ai pit strategy less stupid and make our tire wear equal bc i win too much but higher difficulty is too hard in qualifying and oh i want skill range tighter but level 1 equipment doesnt really work without a 50 skill spread i think

I kinda hate how obsessive i get with all the settings in nascar 25

Zack @dreamyzackracin.bsky.social · 2d

Like time loss? Ive lowkey noticed that too but sometimes its fine

I feel so vindicated seeing everyone turning against the playoffs this year. The cutline drama was great until it wasn’t about the racing anymore; and that’s just not worth the legitimacy we lose with this format.

I’m a Roval truther. That race was good and so was the playoff drama… until it became something we’ve seen many times before.

Check out the episode on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts 🙂

I am working on something about this, but the ultimate irony of the Richmond 2013 fallout is that NASCAR has now created a culture where 12 years later, Richmond 2013 happens once every three weeks in the fall.

THANK YOU for saying the race was good. Was sick of hearing Gluck & Bianchi shit on it lol.

And for talking about IMSA! Dane Cameron drivers in LMP2 now and is the favorite to win the title. Matt Campbell & Mathieu Jaminet are leading in GTP.

Denny Hamlin and Joe Gibbs have had small cracks in their relationship, and I believe the first major showing of this is whatever the hell is going on with him and Ty Gibbs.

Question, cant find this anywhere:

Does NASCAR Cup run the short track aero package (simplified diffuser) at New Hampshire or Gateway?

Hows the GT4 Mustang in iRacing?

Meh, i think Jeff is legit a fan/still respects what NASCAR is supposed to be.

like i really want to see multiple premier teams compete with each other so closely and your work in the last 33 weeks has totaled to closing it out and being perfect in the final 3. It wont happen every year. But it will happen a few times and we will NEVER forget it.

just season-long points talk
