I'm thinking about inverting my G27 pedals aswell but they get a lot of dust on them in my house so I'm wondering how the pedals would hold up outside of their casing. Has anyone had issues with dust/dog hair after inverting theirs?
I might invert mine this weekend then. I didn't want to do it until the warranty period ran out but seeing as they don't sell the G27 anymore I couldn't get a replace under warranty anyway My rig was designed to have inverted pedals anyway haha, just never got round to doing it!
After checking the web and watching some youtube videos about the correct driving position in race car I lower my racing seat about 2 inches and i have to agree that having the steering wheel higher after some time of adaptation it is less tiring since you don't use as much the lat muscles and the arms are more relaxed.
Now I have a problem with the distance between the seat and the wheel. Since my rig of wood lack of adjustability if i crank the seat closer to the wheel, I get too crunched up with the pedals and moving the pedals back it is not an easy option since it need major modification of the rig. i was contemplating the idea of getting a deep dish wheel max 320mm that will shorten the distance of 90mm, I found 2 of the at a cheap price in ali express (i am a cheapskate!)
i had my g27 pedals out of the case and inverted for almost a year, at that time we had 8 cats and 3 dogs plus lived next to a massive field, and i think that they stayed cleaner as it was a snap to just wipe them down
i think a a 350mm wheel is way to big for rally. drove a couple of times with the raid 1 360 mm wheel the 70s class - opel kadett c ant the lancia staros and it was a pain. rotation was at 450 like every time in dirt... but the tm 599xx with the 300mm feels much better and smoother. but it could be a bit bigger...
The only thing that i dont like about this rim is the carbon fiber grip, it is very slippery and very stiff and i regret not listening the community and buy one with suede grip. I just hope that after few months of use the grip will improve, or if you have some ideas please share.
some cars REALLY benefit from particular rims and is one of the reasons i have such an obsession with them.
Deep dishes are very good in cars where you really have a lot of action on the steering wheel, and change hands releasing the wheel often, like I would sometimes take my deep dish for cars that even didn't use them, in DR at least, like group B 205, makes catching some slides a lot easier at some stages, at least in Monaco. All cars in the game that had such rims, all feel a lot nicer with them, easier to control to some extent I would say, except maybe R4s, which are fine with standard flat 320s.
Using these different rims for different cars has elevated the immersion and as a result the joy of rallying by quite a lot for me, I'd say almost twice as good if i had a single rim that would feel weird in some cars. Anyway, deep dish is the preferred rally rim for many. For precision though, in modern cars I much prefer your usual flat racing sparcos/omps/momos 320-330 dia, a lot more precise
Talking of my 350mm ones, 3 spoke corsica replica and an OMP 2 spoke one. Both very similar but 2 spoke vs 3 spoke had me wanting both already
Since 2007, Inside Sim Racing has been the number one show dedicated to the world of simulated motorsports. Every episode, we will bring you stories from a variety of genres in the world of Simulated Racing.
I have always loved racing and been enamored with motorsport. From the Subaru World Rally Team backpack I had in kindergarten to the way-too-many Hot Wheels cars I spent money on growing up, to the dozens of short-track and fairground races all around Kentucky and Indiana I drove myself to as soon as I got my license.
Fast forward to now, and still driving a 200,000+ mile full-size SUV and not yet being done with college means options for real-life motorsport have really only expanded to abandoned snowy parking lots for me.
Thankfully, that same work with DirtFish afforded me a bit of a credit toward taking my very own three-day class, something I accepted without a second thought. I signed up for the last available four-wheel drive class with open spots for 2021, and looked forward to finally getting an idea of what competitive driving might be like.
In this case, the idea is to let the weight of the car move to the front wheels going into a corner by lifting, turning the wheel to start rotation, and either waiting for the rear end of the car to come around and carry you through the corner, or applying brake as necessary to tighten up the line.
After a few sets of the slalom we went in for lunch, where after eating we could either race on simulators running various games from the DiRT series, or we could watch both historic and current rally videos in the classroom until it was time to go back out.
For the afternoon, classroom lessons continued with trail braking. The basic idea being slowly letting off the brake going into a turn to slowly allow the front wheels to gain traction from a lockup, allowing you to be more in control over the car.
An assortment of different sized and different speed corners, and a straight long enough to reach the top of second gear made this a great place to test out the car control we spent the morning learning and give us our first taste of what running a rallycross, or even just a really small rally stage might be like.
Of course, the fun came when we once again hit the course, jumping straight into the pendulum. This morning behind the wheel of car #38, with rain still coming down, and instructor Brad in the passenger seat, I set off to see what I could do to flick the car into the same 90 left as the trail-braking exercise the day prior.
After years of my only experience being racing simulators, I kept instinctively getting on the throttle too early to show-boat out of the corner, although in the real world, it just made me push way too wide and take out a bollard a time or two.
After the morning exercise, we moved on to The Link. A simple combination of the Boneyard and the Slalom from the day before, The Link allowed us to review what we learned the previous day, while getting more seat time to improve technique, and hopefully experience situations where a pendulum would present itself.
This is where I started to really see my problems with keeping my vision up come through. Most of my time on The Link, Brad was helping me figure out when it was appropriate to move on to looking at different markers, as well as a little bit of advice on improving my technique in the turns. My worst moment came when I cut extremely close to a cone and instinctively looked behind me to see if I knocked it over. I was later told the rearview mirrors were taken out of the cars to prevent this very thing.
Our afternoon course after the exercise was The Grid, one of the fastest, trickiest on the property. It has multiple linked corners, technical sections as well as high-speed sections, and switches back and forth from Tarmac to gravel multiple times, which made for tricky situations on traction, especially when the track was soaked.
By the end of the day Kip and I felt really good on The Grid, even navigating a tricky down-shift that I was unsure about going in, and by the last run he barely had to remind me to pay attention to my eyesight.
I was excited to have Michelle in the passenger seat for the morning. With over 18 years of motorsport experience, and plenty of co-driving (including this year for Lia Block), Michelle is one of the most well-versed rally veterans I know.
Our experience on Modified Link went fantastic. Michelle was great at taking the skills I had developed over the first two days, and pushing me to improve and go faster. The course was overall very smooth and a great refresher for the rest of the day, and thankfully we were all able to prove our abilities to not wrap the car around a tree before moving on.
Overall though, it felt clear to me that I was improving with each run in some way, be it linking a corner properly, nailing a shift, or simply just having fun sliding the car. Michelle even tried a few times to time me, but each time we got interrupted by having to stop for a spun or stalled car.
For this course, I had Jack as my instructor. Jack and I have bonded in the past over our love of metal music and similar sense of humor, so I was very excited to have him sit with me for the Mill Run.
Overall, I was impressed with how much the DirtFish Three Day All-Wheel-Drive was able to pack into such a short time, and even more impressed with how I was able to pick up so much of it from having no experience apart from video games and daily driving.
I plan on running my 2012 Fiat 500 sport (101hp) at some rally cross event in stock fwd this season (if we ever get back to racing) and while none of those tires I listed come in sizes really usable for my ride I found this bad boy.
Compound is more important than how tread looks. Even in dirt. Even in loose dirt. That's why snow tires work. They're soft and sticky. Having said that, those will work. Anything will work because rallycross is awesome and fun no matter what.
What kind of surfaces are you rallycrossing on? You're right that all seasons are a better choice for super hard packed dirt like a dirt oval (snows work reasonably well but get chewed up super quickly...don't even think about trying real rally tires) but unless you're rallycrossing on a dirt oval chances are the surface is loose enough that snow tires are a better choice. That said, it's getting hard to find snow tires with good rallycross tread patterns these days. The tire you showed looks decent, they would probably be good enough to be fun and reasonably fast on most surfaces and conditions, and maybe better suited to street use as well.
