I do completely understand why Facebook keep getting targeted for these attacks, but the things is, this is now the fourth, maybe fifth time there has been a data breach where this type of information is leaked/published. The first time it happens, it's "okay" but after that, you'd think they'd stop storing this type of data in plain text.

The G29 is the biggest pile of turd Logitech has ever made. There's a reason why used G27s are selling for more than new G29s. I shouldn't have sold my G27 when I had it, then I could have incrementally upgraded it to a Fanatec Clubsport wheel. You'd be better off buying a used T300RS than a new G29. If I can get my G29 fixed, I'll most likely start iRacing again from Monday, or maybe Tuesday because that's when the track rotations are.

It's an old Fiat. OTR price of those when they were new was £6200 (£9700 adjusted for inflation). Those were built to be as cheap as possible, so they have no luxuries at all. Not even a glovebox, instead you get a hole in the dashboard. There are some pros to it being made as cheap as possible, primarily the weight of the car which gives it really good handling. The top of the range model weighs 750kg. For reference, the average family hatchback at the time (Ford Focus) weighs 1250kg. Here's a video showing these cars driving on the limit. The only modifications they have is a roll cage and they replaced the driver seat with a racing seat for safety reasons. EDIT: The more I see this, the more I want to buy it. I just had a look at the tyre price and these are the expensive ones. The cheap ones are £25 each For reference, my bicycle has

All the things you want in a sports car.

The problem with that is if you want to create an account now, you have to use your phone number. You can't just put a generic number in either, it has to be a mobile number so they can text you a verification code. I don't really want Facebook to have my phone number at all. Not to mention the other data leaks they have.

Source I honestly have no idea why people still use Facebook. They've had several serious privacy breaches over the last 3 years.

No idea. They're geared are/were 380 km/h so it could be done without gearing issues if it hasn't changed. It does seem like it has changed for 2019, a lot of the cars seem to be on the RPM limit at top speed in 8th.

Source This is one of those "Technically correct, but ..." things. Either way, I'm actually surprised at this. I didn't think there was that much of a market for APUs.

Yeah, he's really annoying ?

I only have DT770s. They're pgood fam.

The new tyre model for iRacing does look pretty good. Cold tyres no longer have more grip than warm and the grip levels seem more realistic. However, they still don't have flatspots. The tyre model developer really needs to find a way to impliment that. At the price iRacing is, not having a tyre model that supports flatspots is a joke. Live For Speed (free demo, £36) had flatspots since at least 2008. But still, it's a massive improvement.

I'm not going to put this in a spoiler because there's no real point. The Belgian GP was ruined for me by Reddit as well as the F1 YouTube page (don't subscribe to them if you care about spoilers). What I will say, is that the race wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Still a good race though, much better than France.

I thought the developers went bankrupt? Nice that they haven't, they do a really good job at making realistic looking game engines. I hope this means there's going to be a new Crysis game soon that will use 5.6.

F1 Qualifying: Some awful news in F2. There was a really bad crash at the exit of Raidillon that resulted in the death of Anthoine Hubert. The other two drivers involved are in a stable condition. Here's the statment from the FIA Hubert was definitely a promising driver, 2 wins with 16 starts. That sounds pretty bad, but it's a 12.5% win rate. For reference, Michael Schumacher has a win rate of about 29.7%.

Dirt Rally is an Oculus Rift exclusive ? I can't get it to work at all with my Index, nothing gets it to work. These types of exclusives are very dumb and I'm glad it didn't work out for them. Otherwise, it's a very good game. Both with a wheel and controller.

That's usually where F1 drivers go.
