00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.679
This week on the I Racing Down Shift, we get
2
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.240
into all the latest from NASCAR twenty five and I
3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.400
Rasing Arcade. We cover what's happening in the world of
4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.719
I Racing esports, and we talk a little bit about
5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.440
how safety rating works. All this and more is to
6
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:23.000
strap in.
7
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.359
Welcome to the I Rasing Downship, Tummy. He's Greg West,
8
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:37.799
I'm back of the boys, Kevin Bobba and Chris.
9
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:42.439
Leoni and sound Guyshan We're back. It's been like two months.
10
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:43.759
It's been a while.
11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.920
In a minute more often, Yeah, I blame you, But
12
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.119
how many times? How many times have I asked about
13
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:50.799
doing the podcast?
14
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.039
Lots? I've been busy. There's been so much going on.
15
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.320
We have been busy. But we got a great show
16
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.280
as usual for everybody.
17
00:00:58.479 --> 00:00:59.439
You said that every time.
18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:01.840
No, no, that's not true. I had not say it
19
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.840
every time. Last time I said we had an okay
20
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.159
show or our mediocre show.
21
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.719
So this one's going to be I like it.
22
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:09.159
This one's going to be great.
23
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.920
Have a great debt, love it, love it all Right,
24
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.159
we're gonna talk about what we've been up to. I'm
25
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.439
reading Chris's outline, you know, he puts it in Microsoft Word,
26
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.319
but I don't have word, so then it's.
27
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:23.079
Kind of weird.
28
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.319
I don't know that sounds like a skill issue.
29
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.599
We've moved up, We've moved on from talking about APA formatting,
30
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.040
so ay, we're gonna talk about NASCAR twenty five. I
31
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.120
rasing Arcade, Black Friday Sale, a bunch of stuff with
32
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.079
the esports. Sorry, Chris, I don't see much about dirt
33
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:40.840
on there. I don't know if you'll work it in
34
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.239
and I believe in it. And we've got some special
35
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.159
events to talk about, not to mention a little bit
36
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.680
of a tease on the season one built, and then
37
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.280
we might we might just throw a wrench into things
38
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:53.319
and talk about some.
39
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.439
Conversations from the forums that could be spicy.
40
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.359
Load full transcript
Oh boy, sounds Kevin.
41
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.239
What you been up to? Lots lots going on. Let's see.
42
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.560
Was it sim Racing Expo with you and Angela? That
43
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:08.280
was a good time.
44
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:09.199
Yes.
45
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.000
Off in Germany, so many, so many great partners and
46
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.560
friends over there. Got to catch up. Talked a bit
47
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.199
about I racing, studios, I racing all of our products.
48
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.039
But it's always always a good time to catch up
49
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.280
with people. It's such a good community event, exciting that
50
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.719
they're bringing it over to Charlotte next year too, so
51
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:29.479
that's pretty cool.
52
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.599
Yeah, they're busy already and we'll be.
53
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.360
There so more to come on that at some point.
54
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.240
I was talking to Luke earlier this week, Luke Crane
55
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.240
from Redline, who was also the MC from the event,
56
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.000
and he said they are already starting on Charlotte.
57
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.759
There is no ain't no rest of the Wicked. But
58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.759
what about your golf shirt? You're I Racing Racing golf.
59
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.759
That's it got pretty positive reviews. But I will say
60
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.240
you either love it or hate it right who everybody
61
00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.919
at the x Bow was trying to buy it from.
62
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.039
I could have sold that shirt off my back, which
63
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:03.479
would have been weird, but I could have done that.
64
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:05.319
Please spare us.
65
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.199
But it's a great golf shirt, so you know, I
66
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:11.319
like to represent the brand.
67
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.479
It is not a great golf shirt. For anybody that's wondering,
68
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.680
this is not a great shirt.
69
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.159
Oh my gosh, I don't know what to say.
70
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.240
I mean, I was supposed to get an I Racing polo,
71
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:21.280
but somebody didn't bring.
72
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:22.479
I will give you the golf shirt.
73
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.360
I'm good, I'll make you wear it. So no, no,
74
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:27.759
thank you.
75
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.120
Tony likes the golf shirt. Steve likes the golf shirt.
76
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.680
You know one of those two is listening to this podcast.
77
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.960
A lot of them we don't know, and that's why
78
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.039
we think before we speak.
79
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.960
That's why Sean can edit this thing we do.
80
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.719
Thanks Sean Real, MVP of the show, Chris, what have
81
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.159
you been up to?
82
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.479
I just got back a couple of days ago from
83
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.199
the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Did you get another
84
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:50.759
suit this year?
85
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:50.919
No?
86
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.120
I did not get another suit this year, but my
87
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.039
friends at rally IX took me up with some gears,
88
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.599
so I did not come out of Vegas without new clothing.
89
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.039
So we're on a streak of that that I hope
90
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.520
to continue. I was walking the floor, had some conversations
91
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.319
with some great folks that hopefully you'll see in the
92
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:12.039
I Racing Paint Booth in coming seasons. But I also
93
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.439
got to be the camera person inside the rally xFC
94
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.240
one during Optima Unleash, so it was fun. I have
95
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.279
one camera that's filming Kevin Erickson as he's driving. I've
96
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.439
got one camera that I've got pointed outside of the
97
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.319
car and in the meantime, while he's doing donuts, with
98
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.040
the eleven hundred horse power car. I'm just trying to
99
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.120
make sure I don't hurl on my open face helmet.
100
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.480
So that was a blast all electric horsepower, which means
101
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.480
I know it's Kevin's favorite car. And the only downside
102
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.800
is the experience has probably ruined roller coasters for me forever,
103
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.160
because nothing is going to compare to being in that car.
104
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.439
We went from zero to sixty and under a second
105
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:49.879
and a half. It's pretty wild.
106
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.639
The real question, the real question is did you come
107
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.600
home with any new diecasts for once?
108
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.560
No, because I needed to load up on all the
109
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.959
free ste up from the show floor. So I got
110
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.040
the cylinders, I got some decals, I got a few
111
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:04.600
other things.
112
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.639
Kevin, whre is it than the employee handbook about gifts
113
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.800
and receiving and having to get permission depplicit permission from
114
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.120
the cylinders?
115
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.439
I handed out that seema usually are not appropriate to
116
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:16.639
hang in an office wall.
117
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.879
Here, Muscle cars come on? Yeh, when was the last
118
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.560
time you
went to SEMA? Okay, it was all fifty
119
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.439
sixties hot rods. It's a good deal. It's worth every
120
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:29.240
penny I paid for it.
121
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.040
All right, Well, what about you? Greg? What have you
122
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.439
been doing besides racing Expo SIM.
123
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.240
Racing XPOL is a good time? I can I had
124
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.480
a you know my rental card. I can tell you
125
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.399
the number. It's electronically limited to. I'll tell you that
126
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.759
privately though. On the Autobahn so perfectly legal. What's a
127
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.800
special experiences when you're at that number and then you
128
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.800
get passed by a yellow porsa GT two?
129
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:53.040
Is there? Is there anything else you want to talk
130
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:59.600
about on the autobon? No? No, no, leave that alone.
131
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.399
Then that's right?
132
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:01.959
All the time?
133
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.560
Holiday show, Holiday show. Yeah, no, we'll leave that alone. No.
134
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.879
When those cameras in the flash red, I don't know
135
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.480
what those red lights meeting. I don't know if those
136
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.879
red lights that is that a bad thing? So we'll
137
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.000
know how bad of the thing it was.
138
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:18.160
I don't think it means you won.
139
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:19.319
Yeah, but I don't know.
140
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:20.079
We'll find out.
141
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.360
But all right, let's get into it. I Racing Studios,
142
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.360
NASCAR twenty five. It's getting a pretty good reception, isn't it, Kevin?
143
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:34.759
Oh, It's been very well received both the NASCAR community
144
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.759
the gaming community. People are loving it. Tons of great feedback,
145
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:44.120
tons of great reviews. What else can I say about it?
146
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.319
It's the next step is that it comes out on
147
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.160
Steam on the eleventh, which is on Tuesday, a couple
148
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:50.439
of days from now. I don't know when this is
149
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.879
actually hitting Sean. When this is going out Sean around then.
150
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.240
It's Friday today, so maybe this will be out Monday.
151
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.399
I don't know something like that unless we make Sean
152
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.319
work over the weekend. Should we do that? That's nice?
153
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.920
But now, But anyway, NASCAR twenty five has got an
154
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.399
awesome career mode. I think I made an announcement yesterday
155
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.399
that I won my Expanity Championship yesterday.
156
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.959
So the congratulations, you know we're gonna move what different're
157
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.000
going to move up from rookie.
158
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.639
I have now won more races in NASCAR twenty five
159
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.720
than I have in I racing, So that tells you
160
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.399
something about my skill set. Really anyway, Okay, super fun.
161
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.920
What else? Oh, there's a DLC PAC coming out soon,
162
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.000
which will be I don't know. Can we talk about that, Chris,
163
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:31.959
I guess we've talked about it.
164
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.720
Yeah, similar to the last one, you know, we'll have
165
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.759
We'll have a substantial amount of paint schemes, you know,
166
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.240
across all the different series. You know, it was part
167
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.360
of the part of the Season Pass and part of
168
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.720
the Gold Edition, so you know, just adds a little
169
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.959
more realism to to your opponent car experience and when
170
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.600
you're playing as your favorite driver and single player yeap.
171
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.040
And Career Mode is super fun, and I know Chris
172
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.279
has been hard at work putting a lot of walkthroughs
173
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:00.560
on the site so you can kind of of get
174
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.839
a feel for what it's about before you buy it,
175
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.519
but definitely check it out. Career Remote, I think is
176
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.560
super fun. I love that on these types of games.
177
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:08.759
So yep.
178
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.680
Certainly lots of tips and tricks and strategies things like
179
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.720
that in there. You know, as with anything, you know,
180
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.079
the more strategic you are, the better result you can get.
181
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.000
You know, you've got to manage those employees, you get
182
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.240
to manage that equipment, and that's how you get the most.
183
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.240
Out of it. Yep, yep. And what else was I
184
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.759
going to say? I don't know, I don't know, I
185
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.120
don't know. I thought I had something else to say
186
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:32.639
about NASCAR.
187
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.360
You guys been making any fun paint schemes on the booth?
188
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.360
Painter no, so I no, I have to say no.
189
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.320
Good Paint NASCAR twenty five dot com is where you
190
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.759
can learn more about it and figure out how to purchase,
191
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.320
or I Racing
Studios dot com that works as well,
192
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:51.879
so lots of options there.
193
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.279
We also have I rasing ArKade. The demo is out.
194
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.720
It's been a lot of fun to see the reception.
195
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.279
We had that at the Fantasy booth at the at
196
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.639
the SIM Racing Expo. They set up a couch with
197
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:04.799
a big screen TV.
198
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:06.600
So it's just perfect. That's why I played here.
199
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:07.879
It's fantastic.
200
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:08.759
Yeah, awesome.
201
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.000
I'm curious how many controllers they went through because it
202
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.720
was a wireless controller, and I'm curious of how many
203
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:14.399
walked off.
204
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.960
Hopefully none. Hopefully some community was good to them.
205
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:20.720
But no, there was a line there the entire time.
206
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.320
It was cool to see the reception. It was the demo.
207
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.720
If you haven't tried it, go try it. It's free.
208
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.480
It's the Portion nine eleven GT three Cup car at Sekuba.
209
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.080
It was one of the top fifty most played demos
210
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.720
during Steam Nextfest and we're excited for December second full
211
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.200
launch of the game. I think you will probably see
212
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.840
some more stuff coming out in the near future, maybe
213
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.240
Kevin a def diary.
214
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.519
I know that we are working on a lot of
215
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:49.360
cool stuff, So dev diary is coming maybe next week ish,
216
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.480
depends on when we get all pieces put together, but
217
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.080
lots more social content will be pushing out to make
218
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.759
sure you follow the social handles because you'll get to
219
00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:59.960
see more cars, more tracks, all that kind of stuff
220
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.159
to really get a feel for the game.
221
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.120
So yeah, we've announced that one.
222
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.240
So we've announced all the cars and all the tracks
223
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.440
at this point, so seven cars, fourteen tracks, uh, and
224
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.919
there will be more to come after that. And once again,
225
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.720
that's on a PC only released on December second, and
226
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.200
we'll have Xbox in PlayStation in the spring. Don't have
227
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.120
a date yet, but looking forward to uh to getting
228
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:20.679
that knocked out, and.
229
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.480
We're probably worth mentioning on that. That just a reminder
230
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:28.320
the game is designed for controller roller. There's wheel support.
231
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.519
It's not built for that. It's not that sort of game.
232
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.279
So let's just get in front of that so that
233
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.279
people aren't wondering why the wheel doesn't work. It's not
234
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:34.799
supposed to.
235
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:36.919
It's not supposed to. We tried it.
236
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.440
The way the physics is simplified and designed, it just
237
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.440
does not work with wheels. Uh so this is controller
238
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:43.440
and actually keyboard.
239
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.799
Keyboard is a but.
240
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.360
It's it's great on a on a like an Xbox controller,
241
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.960
you know, plugged into your PC. It's it's you can
242
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.679
tell it's made for that really drive. It's really fun.
243
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.799
It does say arcade right in the title.
244
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.799
Yes, that's a giveaway, right, Yeah, that's with that right,
245
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.799
but you know, I just wanted to point that out.
246
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:05.759
What's really cool too is you don't have to have
247
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.799
a high powered PC to run this. I've run it
248
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.080
on a PC that was not a gaming PC. Just
249
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.600
the regular Intel built in graphics card will run the game.
250
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.559
So yeah, really excited for them. Yeah great, all right,
251
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.679
moving on I racing news. It's that time of year, Kevin.
252
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.679
Black Friday is back. I can tell you that the
253
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.159
marketing team is tired of me talking about Black Friday
254
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:31.039
because it's Yeah, it's a big promotion, you know, the
255
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.720
a lot of little pieces that go into it to
256
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.480
make sure it all works right. So we've been working
257
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.080
on for a while, but it just started this week
258
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:40.000
and it runs until December. Second, is that right, Chris?
259
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:41.799
I always have to look at Chris. Yeah, make sure
260
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.840
I have my dates, right, I should know that. But yeah,
261
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.399
so fifty percent off new memberships. If you're not a member,
262
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.799
you can sign up for any four of the membership
263
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.240
types we have one month, three month, twelve month, twenty
264
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.879
four month get it half off. And if you're an
265
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.679
existing member or a member that
has let their membership laps,
266
00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:59.879
you can get twenty five percent off when you've signed
267
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:04.000
backup or early renew for twelve months or twenty four months.
268
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:06.200
Not a bad not a bad thing.
269
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.639
All the details are on iRacing dot com slash black Friday,
270
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.279
and I'm sure the support team or something, right, So,
271
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.279
I'm sure the support team would like us to clarify
272
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.200
that if you do that twelve or twenty four month
273
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.759
renewal as an existing member with a current current subscription,
274
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.360
that it tax on to the end. That's right.
275
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.759
I lose count every year of how many emails we
276
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.279
have that discusses that particular fact. So if you do
277
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.720
it now and your membership was going to expire on
278
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.759
Jan one, twenty twenty six, then with the twelve month
279
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.960
it'll expire Jan one, twenty twenty seven.
280
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.000
Just to be abundantly clear about.
281
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.279
That, Yep, yep, absolutely so. I racing dot Com slash
282
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.759
black Friday for all the details.
283
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.279
Check it out.
284
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.240
All right, e Sports Championships, we got a bunch going
285
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.960
on right now. If or Esports Global Championship presented by
286
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.360
Mosa Chris thirty nine battles going after thirty five grand
287
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.240
and we're about to start the well, I guess third round,
288
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:02.919
second weekend.
289
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:03.720
Yeah.
290
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.240
So the most fun thing about this series to me
291
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.159
is the fact that you don't know where you're racing
292
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.600
until twenty four hours beforehand. And to me, coming from
293
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.919
the forms of racing that I come from, I love
294
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.840
that you can't You can't just spend all sorts of
295
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.159
time practicing, practicing, becoming a robot and just nailing your lines.
296
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.399
You got to get in there, you got to adapt
297
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.600
real quickly, and so Henry Moore was the first person
298
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:28.320
to be able to do that.
299
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:29.279
Take the victory at.
300
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.519
Zandvoort, Dana Moore at Road Atlanta. So if you want
301
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:38.080
to watch these races Saturdays nineteen zero zero GMT November eighth,
302
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.159
November twenty two, December sixth, that's when we've got the
303
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.759
remaining three double headers of the season, and somebody's going
304
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.679
to walk away with a nice little check at the
305
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:47.039
end of this.
306
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.159
Yeah, and some really close racing the four cars. I
307
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.600
think the Road Atlanta race was less than a tenth
308
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.799
of a second line, so really good racing.
309
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.759
And to tie that back to I Racing arcade doesn't
310
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.879
have four car in there, right, there is an f
311
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.879
F I a F four car. Pardon me, I got
312
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.399
the name wrong, but that's a fun car in our
313
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:08.240
arcade as well.
314
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:12.720
We don't have Road Atlanta yet, No this time, maybe
315
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:16.279
maybe some time, right, we might find it if they're listening.
316
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.720
We also have the MC Esports Global Championship kicking off yep,
317
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:27.840
fourth season, Chris go for chrism.
318
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.600
Sorry, I've been watching the I've been watching the World Series,
319
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.320
and I watched that catch at the bottom of the
320
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.120
ninth and I guess I just ran you over there, Kevin.
321
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:37.679
But we're going nextra innings now.
322
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.799
So you're turning it over to me, even though no, no,
323
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.720
oh god, I.
324
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.960
Was under the impression Kevin was talking about.
325
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.759
I'm happy to the Esports Global Championship is already running, right.
326
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:58.600
We had Round one kicked off November. I think what
327
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.159
else can I say? BMW red Line one, GTP Classy
328
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:06.159
Sports Run one GTD that was at Rhade Atlanta. We've
329
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:11.080
got Seabring, Long Beach and Daytona and in December, right Christmas,
330
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.120
I'm gonna ends. Uh.
331
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.559
Daytona closed it out December seventh. But yeah, the interesting
332
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.240
thing about the November twenty third round is the GTPs
333
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.960
are going to go to Long Beach and the gtds
334
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.960
are going to go to Vio.
335
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.240
We've split the races. I forgot. That's that's new this year.
336
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:26.879
I think we didn't do.
337
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.639
First time it's happened in series history. See, that's why
338
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:31.559
I called for the fly ball because I was ready.
339
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:33.799
You knew I
was going to flow it.
340
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.639
We've never done baseball analogies on the shelf.
341
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:38.159
Yeah, I don't know that.
342
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.960
There seems to be something ironic about that to me,
343
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.600
if you if you really think about it.
344
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.679
Yeah, yeah, not lost on me.
345
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.360
But let's also not forget the grid Finder LMP three
346
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.399
Challenge support races for these two remaining November rounds, where
347
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.759
there are going to be some all stars and there
348
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.519
are going to be some people who have qualified in
349
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.279
with the community, some twenty minute sprint races with the
350
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.600
LMP three car. That's going to be a blast. That
351
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.320
is such a fun car to drive, and I think
352
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.559
that's going to put on excellent, very popular support.
353
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.080
I will be clear, since it's all stars, Greg, myself
354
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:10.919
and Chris are not going to qualify.
355
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.399
For that accurate that is that is an accuracy.
356
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.200
When have you ever seen me go out for a
357
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:15.799
road race?
358
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.480
Come on, yes, two does it occasionally?
359
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.000
Yeah, but I did a couple of staff races back
360
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.480
in twenty twenty when I made you do that.
361
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.039
So I'm pretty sure I did Crandon on a controller
362
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.759
and that was about it.
363
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.919
Okay, Yeah, all.
364
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.080
Right, special events. We got a bunch of them coming up.
365
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:39.480
Suzuka one thousand. This weekend, No, next weekend, No, not
366
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.039
this weekend. Yeah, not this weekend. Sorry, I'm looking at
367
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:43.480
the Yeah.
368
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.519
No, that's true.
369
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.559
We're doing the verification today. It's remember fourteenth through the sixteenth.
370
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.879
There we go, it's this weekend as this airs.
371
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.360
In the future. Yes, it's like the last podcast shifting.
372
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:02.120
We're doing time shifting. Yeah, alright, Tony, really sorry, I
373
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.320
promise we're good at our jobs.
374
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.039
Please. Yeah.
375
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.519
But Suzuka one thousands, So we've got GT three's racing
376
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.079
there at Suzukah Obviously we've got the sec A runoffs. Chris,
377
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:18.279
how many eleven eleven sixty car fields of eleven GT
378
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:20.359
three manufacturers?
379
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:22.119
Off the top of my head?
380
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.680
I know this sounds pretty good.
381
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.440
Does anyone remember we used to just be able to
382
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.480
put six cars in the sim?
383
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:30.359
Yeah?
384
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.759
This is where this is where Kevin's going to say,
385
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.039
I remember we could put one card. I've been here
386
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.599
since before we had a product.
387
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:39.960
If you wanted to point that out, that is true.
388
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.359
So I think the thumbnail for this needs to be
389
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.039
Kevin walking around with the I Racing sign and trying
390
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.440
to get in the shot and speed channel.
391
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:51.279
That's that's how long Kevin's been here.
392
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.000
That's a blast from the past.
393
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.319
Yea, I have been here a while. What can I say?
394
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.119
All Right, So scc A runoffs Chris, Yes, Classes November
395
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.839
twenty second is the big day. We're running the super
396
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.920
session format again, I believe Greg. Yes, Yes, so super
397
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.279
session format, which is really cool. You run races all
398
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.119
week long and those determine what split you're going to
399
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.559
be in when you run the super sessions on the weekend.
400
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:23.079
So six classes here, USF two thousand, GT four Spec Racer,
401
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.079
Ford Global MX five, Cup, Renault Cleo and Formula V,
402
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.599
which you know, if you love if you love road racing,
403
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:33.720
that that is one heck of a lineup right there.
404
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.440
And I believe we said Road America for this year.
405
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:38.920
Yeah, Road America, because that's where the runoffs are in
406
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.039
real life. And it's really interesting if you go look
407
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.759
up videos of Formula V racing at Road America because
408
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:50.440
it's basically Talladega, especially this straight away going to turn five.
409
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.880
You know, you just draft locked. This is one of
410
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.720
my favorite special events of the year. The way we
411
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.039
do it with the broadcast team and you just get
412
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.480
basically six hours of racing. It's just like watching the runoffs,
413
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.079
and you get a variety of names that you don't
414
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.359
necessarily normally see because you
have to qualify in.
415
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.880
It is a little different.
416
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.960
There's a lot of opinions on it, but it's the
417
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.640
one that I like to sit back on the weekend
418
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.000
and just watch a lot of good racing. So looking
419
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:20.079
forward to that might dip in USF two thousand. I'venna
420
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.079
to show up and show and go that one a
421
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.519
little bit to USF two thousand and Rotomax good combination,
422
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.319
but yeah, that one's exciting. We've got twenty twenty six
423
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.359
special event calendar, as a reminder, usually comes out around
424
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:35.839
the first week of December, about halfway through.
425
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.880
It, so we're sort of on track for that.
426
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:39.359
We are on track for that.
427
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:39.799
I love it.
428
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.119
We're trying. It's the big chess game of the year.
429
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.480
It's you know, balancing all the special events with all
430
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.559
the special series and all the other stuff that's going
431
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.279
to pop up and trying to make.
432
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:49.960
It not overlap.
433
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.200
So it will be out hashtag soon, hash tag soon.
434
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.119
We also have the Winter I Racing NASCAR series, which
435
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.920
has the best acronym in all of these sports, win
436
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:05.319
wins hashtag wins. Then in nineteen eighty seven NASCAR Cup Cars,
437
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:10.079
we got both fixed and open setups back. Really excited
438
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:11.680
for that one as well. I know that community is
439
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.559
gets fired up for that. Now the NIS is over,
440
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:16.799
you still have something to do over the winter time,
441
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.960
so it should be a really good time there. And
442
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.119
then we also have the twenty twenty six season one
443
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.880
build coming out second week of December KEF very soon,
444
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:28.920
very hashtag.
445
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:32.039
Soon, very soon. And I'm pleased to tell you that
446
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.480
Greg Hill's dev blog is in the works and that
447
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.880
is actually coming out soon. I would expect that next
448
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.400
week so or this week, depending on when you're listening
449
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.079
to this. But it's in the works and that will
450
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:47.200
have much more detail as to what's coming. Can't really
451
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.359
spill the beans yet. Greg asked me not to he
452
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:54.440
wanted to other Greg, that's right, I wouldn't listen to you,
453
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.480
but the other grad did this.
454
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:56.400
I'm used to that.
455
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:01.119
No, So Greg's working on it. It'll be out next
456
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.640
week and that will kind of give you the lay
457
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.920
of the land. What's coming in December. The December build
458
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.119
is on the sixth or seventh.
459
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:11.440
Remember that Tuesday is yeah.
460
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.799
Whatever that Tuesday is so in about a month, so
461
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.920
this is typical timing for the dev dev blog. But
462
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:21.839
be on the lookout for it. I'm sure let the
463
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:22.880
community know when it's out.
464
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.400
So this is a few weeks for marketing with the
465
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.960
NASCAR NASCAR twenty five Steam release, I've got Iris and
466
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.559
Garcade coming out December second, and then following week got
467
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.440
the season season one build.
468
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.559
So hey, speaking of marketing, what did you guys think
469
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.160
of the the NASCAR twenty five spot with Dale Junior.
470
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.519
I thought that was that was pretty cool, especially I
471
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.240
had no idea that was happening, and then I saw
472
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:47.839
it natively.
473
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.119
I was like, whoa, what is this?
474
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:50.880
Where did this come from? Yeah? No, we have to
475
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:53.200
thank we have to thank NASCAR for it. The NASCAR
476
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.519
productions did all the hard work. But it came out
477
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:59.960
really great. I thought, really quality piece. So nice to
478
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:01.599
have the support from NASCAR on the game.
479
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.519
All right, Moving on, this is the one that that
480
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.880
Kevin confused me on on whether we were doing this part.
481
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:14.079
I thought we were gonna do some little spicy We're
482
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:16.240
gonna talk about something from the forms that people will's
483
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:16.799
talk about it.
484
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.720
Let's talk about it, Kevin.
485
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.200
Safety rating. I mean, you've been around since the beginning.
486
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:25.119
You were you know, you've at the beginning of safety rating.
487
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.039
Yeah, I have been. What do you want to talk
488
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.359
about it?
489
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:35.359
The weekly thread of safety grading?
490
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.599
Okay, yeah, I
was probably being too nice there, the
491
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.519
daily thread at least by yeah, every other day.
492
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.319
Safety rating is not fair. In the real world. You're
493
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:47.920
not punished if somebody else makes a mistake.
494
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.200
It's a pretty sure system, I think, But go ahead.
495
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.799
I've raced in the real world. Again, it was just
496
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:01.920
Formula V. But Kevin, you've done some lemons racing, right, yep. Yeah,
497
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:07.039
if somebody else makes a mistake and hits your car,
498
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:08.960
what happens.
499
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.079
I probably get upset and then I bring it back
500
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:15.519
to the paddock, and I get my check book out
501
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.599
and I buy a new fender or suspension part or
502
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.480
something like. It's on me. It's are you my problem?
503
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.720
Right, So you do receive some negative impact if somebody
504
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.920
else makes a mistake in the real world, and usually expensive, right.
505
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:30.720
It's usually it's usually dollar signs.
506
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.519
I think maybe we just need you know, that needs
507
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:36.519
to be like the new tagline of safety rating, it's
508
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:40.359
it's just about it's about the money somebody else hits you. Yeah,
509
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.880
we messed up with safety rating points. You should have
510
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.519
made it dollars.
511
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.880
Safety rating is about everybody is involved in the incident
512
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:47.640
is impacted.
513
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:48.119
Yep.
514
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.599
There is no assign blame. It's an automated system. Right.
515
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.119
We have thousands of races every every week. Right, there's
516
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.200
no way to manually review review every incident. I mean,
517
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.119
think about how many corners of there are too. The
518
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.839
math is it's.
519
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.920
Impossible, ridiculous.
520
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:08.200
Yeah, and this is this is a system that works.
521
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:12.000
I mean we have there is a protest for other things. Right,
522
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.039
if you think somebody's driving into you intentionally, that's a
523
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.160
different story, right, But in the end, your card's still damaged.
524
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.799
In the real world. You know, if somebody in the
525
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.559
real world intentionally wrecks you, they may get suspended from
526
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:26.319
the series, right because they violated series rules, But your
527
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.440
car is still mangled, right.
528
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:28.839
Yeah.
529
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:31.039
I think it was the old FIA rule.
530
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:32.640
I guess they changed it what two years ago, but
531
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.920
it was like if you caused an incident the other guy,
532
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:37.559
might you know, take a fifty g impact into the wall,
533
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:43.279
five second penalty, right, right, So I mean there is
534
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.680
president for this, but yeah, it's I think the other
535
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.039
part of it too is it is, uh, when you
536
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.079
get digcause somebody else makes a mistake, you go back
537
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:54.279
and look at it. It's you can always find not
538
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:56.160
always most of the time. I mean sometimes you're in
539
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.240
a bad spot and that that's called racing. But yeah,
540
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.359
you can look at it like could I have done
541
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:05.759
something different? Could I have seen that coming? Because that's
542
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:07.880
that's racecraft. You can't win it and turn one. You
543
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.079
can't win it on a lap five. You have to
544
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.119
be there at the end. And being there at the
545
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:15.279
end is standing out in trouble too, including other people's trouble.
546
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.440
I see this forum thread all the time, and you
547
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:19.960
know you don't want to jump in and start an
548
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.960
internet argument, but I really do want to. I did
549
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:25.160
want to bring that up and say, no, there is
550
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.079
precedent in the real world for how we do things.
551
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:28.920
Is it perfect?
552
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:29.039
No?
553
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.880
Absolutely not.
554
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.240
Are the things that you know probably could be looked
555
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.680
at and continually improved. Hey, that's why we put a
556
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.359
build out every ninety days. We're always looking to improve.
557
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:42.640
But I think once the red mess clears, if you
558
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.279
look at it, you can usually find some stuff that
559
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:45.839
makes sense.
560
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.119
So the other thing to consider is like, if you
561
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:49.759
are in an incident and you get a four X,
562
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.079
it doesn't really move your safety reading very much. And
563
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.599
your safety writing isn't a score anyway, Like there's no
564
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:58.519
points for having a four point nine. You know, it's
565
00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.880
it's just a number. It's just rating, just an average, right,
566
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.559
So if it moves up or down a little bit,
567
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:07.279
it is what it is. Keep racing, have a good time.
568
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:09.359
Same thing. I rating is not a score.
569
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.519
But I think there was a lot of people on
570
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.519
the Internet that would would debate the battle.
571
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.880
Start an argument, I rating is a matchmaking tool. No,
572
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.680
I rating is the score. Gosh, it is a match
573
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:22.160
making tool.
574
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.200
Speaking of arguments, this is a segue into something I
575
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:27.880
want to do on the next podcast that Tony brought
576
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.200
up is let's have a discussion about who we think
577
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:33.440
the top I racers or top SIM racers have been
578
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.880
over the over the years. Tyler, bring bring a few names,
579
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.319
we'll discuss them. Maybe we'll get some comments from people,
580
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.440
because I'm sure we won't have it right according to
581
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:44.319
some But I think there's a lot of good names
582
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.400
out there. But I think we should, uh, we should
583
00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.200
all bring a list of who we think would would
584
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:51.799
belong on that that that top list.
585
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:53.960
I think the hut has definitely got to be in
586
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:56.480
the conversation, Greg, you were not far off the mark there.
587
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.599
Sorry, yeah, I would. I'm not not joking at all.
588
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.039
He throw a tea hut in there's an og for sure.
589
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:05.480
But no, we should, uh you know, when we do
590
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.319
social on this, let's let's put it put in the comments.
591
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:10.720
Let us know who you think the best SIM racers
592
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.880
are of all time and why and and maybe we'll
593
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:16.640
read a couple of comments on the next podcast. I
594
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:18.480
didn't run that by anybody. I just I did say
595
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:18.920
that right now.
596
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.079
I love it. And you know, and for those that
597
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:24.039
are asking, how are you rating them, it's up to you.
598
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.319
You know, are they the fastest, are they the most consistent?
599
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:30.319
Did they contribute the most to Samarasing? However, whatever your
600
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.160
criteria is, it doesn't matter. Just just tell us who
601
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.519
you think would be on that list and why.
602
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:42.039
All right now, under section four B, there's it says,
603
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:43.839
whatever else we can bring out?
604
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:46.279
Do we have anything else we need to bring up?
605
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.279
You know I can't. I can't think of anything.
606
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.160
But all right, well hey when look when I send
607
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.000
you guys the the outline, I give you every opportunity
608
00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:58.880
to add things in there.
609
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:02.000
I just it is I adjusted it, did I not?
610
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:03.640
You?
611
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:05.960
Did you took one or two things out?
612
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.839
And I reordered it and I added the safety rating
613
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:15.319
discussion I contributed. You get a thank you, thank you, Mark.
614
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:17.480
It's all I wanted. That's all I wanted is a
615
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:23.000
good job. Thank you. My day is made, all right.
616
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.599
