    There is a picture of a circuit on the top of the page on vodka diaries. Does anybody know what circuit that is?

    Is it me, or do the mirrors look wrong??? When I look in that mirrors, I got the feeling that they are set up very much to the side of the car, instead of showing what is behind..... I don't know if that is like it was with that car or something, but atm it just looks wrong to me ;)

    He probably didn't bother adjusting them seeing as he was the only one on track.

    He was also wearing a crash helmet and full racing overalls and got his missus to stand in front of him during the loading screen whilst dressed as a pit girl and holding a placard bearing his name.










    Disclaimer: None of the above may actually be true :D Thanks for the video Jon.

    The fireproof underwear really itches after a while. ;)

    The gloves are for the video, I mainly use them in real racing, but I thought I would give you all something to talk about (They were in the Spa video too, no one seemed to notice).

    Let them mock you, they arent real simracers. I use my work out gloves as well. If your hands arent sweating after hotlapping then i'm curious to see how they lap after one hour.

    Try running a 3 hour stint with a suede wheel without gloves. It will rip you hands to shreds.

    Well, having suede steering wheel is not because it looks more cool. There is a reason for that... and having racing gloves with inner section made of suede is also not without a reason. You want one, then you have to have both. Otherwise, stay with standard wheel :)

    I've done 2.4hr road races and 500 mile oval races and have had no problems without gloves. I use a gt3 rs fanatec. I'm not a death gripper though. Maybe that has something to do with it.

    Me too, CDN. No white knuckles here and I don't have issues. :) I do have a callus on my paddle finger though, have had it for years.

    To be fair to those who do drive with gloves; most of us(who are adults) are spending a substantial amount of money and effort for a "game." That being said, to poke fun at someone for wearing gloves seems kind of silly. No I don't wear gloves and yes I do make my wife refer to rFactor as a sim, not a game. :)

    "Wrong way" is still there :( I hope we can turn it off. There is no need for this. Its annoying when I need to roll back 20 meters in practice after some mistake in rF1 and get DQ! And I know for sure what way all tracks go, I don`t need to be reminded.
