        I can tell by how it is shifting and no clutch.

                  Garrett, we missed you!

                  Well, I didn't hit anyone lol, so that's good. Gained 3-3.5 seconds on my best time from earlier today. Was starting to run 1:49s. I had a 1:48 (I think) but it was dirty. Still figuring out where I can push the car more and more. It's fun. I also wasn't last on the time charts, so that was nice.

                    just found another guy selling something in my area, a little further out but I have to admit it looks pretty badass. He even made a youtube video showing it off.

                      Awesome cockpit build, but pretty meh wheel. Someday (not anytime soon) I'd love to build something like that.

                          I love seeing what people come up with for homemade cockpit builds.

                            Cracked 1:44:9x in practice with Swarley. I've also gotten my optimal time down to 1:44:0x. Now it's a matter of actually stringing together all the sectors without going off track... that's pretty tough for me since I happen to go off track almost every lap.

                            This week has taught me more than anything that being smooth with my steering inputs is absolutely crucial. I was having a ton of trouble with the corner right before the hill leading up to the corkscrew earlier in the week, but now I've been able to consistently carry speed through that corner without going off track. Earlier, I was throwing the car into the corner, turning somewhat abruptly to try and make the apex, but that would upset my car before I even hit the little dip in the corner. With my car already sliding, hitting that little dip would send me straight into a spin or right out in the gravel -- which then caused me to spin.

                            Now I've learned to not turn as abruptly and to simply slowly point the car towards the apex. Sometimes I miss the apex and go out wide, causing me to spin. Sometimes my car still gets upset after hitting the dip. But all in all, I'm able to hit that corner about 80% of the time with speed, whereas I was maybe hitting it 10% of the time earlier.

                              Just did another practice session. Ended up P8 out of 18 with a 1:48.4. Just working on different corners. I feel pretty good about the kink going up the hill and I also worked on the second right hander after the Andretti hairpin. Biggest turns that need work right now are the Andretti hairpin, turn 2 and the two right handers coming down the hill.

                                IRACING UNVEILS NEW CONTENT SCHEDULE

                                Hot off the heels of the release of the Dallara DW12, Tony Gardner of iRacing has released a new update, laying out the plans for releasing future content. The list is quite large, with around six pieces of content planned for release in the remainder of the year.

                                Aussies will find a reason to celebrate, with not one, but two new V8 Supercars coming later this year (they likely will not make it in time for the next build). The 2013 Holden VF Commodore will be making its iRacing debut, while the existing Ford Falcon will be updated to 2013 specs. More deals and partnerships are in the works, so more cars will likely be announced in the near future.

                                On the road course side, Donington Park is being finalized and will likely make it in time for the Season 3 build. Monza is also in development, and will follow Donington. The oval racing side isn’t being neglected either, and racers will be pleased to hear that the repaved Phoenix International Raceway has a strong chance of making it into the next build (the old configuration will also be kept, similar to Daytona post-repave). After that, Gateway Motorsports Park (a favorite among the Camping World Truck Series) will be added to the roster.
