I love having a guest leaderboard

[u/Judah--]

My brother (blue) is slowly coming closer to my times, I’ve taught him everything he knows, but not everything I know. My dad is getting better every time he visits and it’s fun watching all our friends try to beat each others lap times. I have a running offer of $100 to any friends that can beat my lap.

[u/guiiruiz]

This is a great idea to foster guests to time attack competitively. Dooope!

[u/bimmer26]

This makes me miss top gear.

[u/LogicalEquipment1848 → u/bimmer26]

No lies told man

[u/virxtra → u/bimmer26]

I need to make a replica lap time board now

[u/NayveReddit]

Great idea! I have a sim rig, now I need friends !

[u/Judah-- → u/NayveReddit]

Took my months to get all the names on F4 lmao

[u/AllTheWine05 → u/NayveReddit]

Came to say, ditto.

I've had exactly 3 other try my rig, my gf, my mother, and one friend Brian who loves F1 but sucks at driving. Hell, my two car buddies from HS aren't even in the same state anymore.

[u/Friendly_Cantal0upe]

Not everything I know

Fucking A brother, love it

[u/pr1ntscreen → u/Friendly_Cantal0upe]

Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

[u/Friendly_Cantal0upe → u/pr1ntscreen]

Oh shit I just realised. Although it is funny so I'll leave it

[u/bobandiara → u/Friendly_Cantal0upe]

Are you a Lannister?

[u/jew_blew_it]

This is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing

[u/free_reezy]

I do this with Watkins Glen and a Ferrari GT3. 2-5 are within half a second of each other. They got competitive.

[u/BossTriton]

Thanks for sharing this, I will start doing this

[u/tbr1cks]

I’m gonna shamelessly copy this idea

[u/Judah-- → u/tbr1cks]

Do it!!

[u/sledgehammer_44]

I always wanted to do similar thing but wondering what car.. great selection of tracks that is short enough so people actually learn the track. Spa is a nice track but people will give up by the time they get 1 lap in. Sub 1 min laps is what gets people hooked so you have to drag them out!

Still indecisive on what car.. TCR is safe, but I main V8SC and want to show people what I muscle around 🤣

[u/Judah-- → u/sledgehammer_44]

Yes. Short intuitive tracks are the most important thing. If folks can’t make a lap they get very frustrated and tend to give up quickly.

[u/East-Independent6778 → u/sledgehammer_44]

Watkins Glen short or Limerock no chicane would be my pick. Fast and flowing, short enough to memorize, but still require skill to master.

As for the car, a GT4 would be a good starter car. Less power and aero than GT3 but still fun.

[u/fleeteryeeter01 → u/sledgehammer_44]

Tsukuba-Mazda mx5 cup

[u/drabadum → u/sledgehammer_44]

Tsukuba!

[u/Accomplished-Gur-916]

My brother and I used to do something similar, but with football matches played on Pro Evolution Soccer😆

[u/BobbbyR6]

100% stealing this soon. Moving out of a janky apartment and whenever I get around to having peeps over, this'll be set up :)

[u/MJFox1978]

dad needs to get his stuff together, those are rookie numbers!

[u/shewy92 → u/MJFox1978]

Kat V meanwhile...

[u/psychoholica → u/shewy92]

Yeah why are the top 2 names crossed out but poor Kat is proudly on display dead last? 😂

[u/Judah-- → u/psychoholica]

Me and my brother.

Don’t necessarily need mine and my brothers actual names on my Reddit acct

[u/MJFox1978 → u/psychoholica]

to shame her!

[u/iamgeef]

What sim do you use , and do you allow any assists? Some of my friends who have tried my desk-rig struggle with iracing and with f1 they have assists on .

[u/spcychikn → u/iamgeef]

F4 at lime rock tells me that this is probably iracing, but i could be wrong

[u/shewy92 → u/spcychikn]

Also their user flair says iRacing so it's a good bet

[u/Judah-- → u/iamgeef]

Iracing. No assists. Paddleshifters.

If they can’t figure it out 🤷‍♂️

[u/Stellar-Hijinks → u/Judah--]

Do you have other games setup? I do most of my racing in iRacing but I've been putting guests in assetto corsa because it's prettier.

[u/Judah-- → u/Stellar-Hijinks]

Nah. I have triples and iracing is pretty seamless for getting triples setup

[u/Stellar-Hijinks → u/Judah--]

Thanks! AC has all the same settings they’re just in different places. HMU if you have trouble.

[u/Judah-- → u/Stellar-Hijinks]

Iracing has just done me so well, I see very little point in having another proper racing game.

I love BeamNG, but that scratches a different itch than iracing

[u/Nwrecked]

Great idea. Going to put this together this weekend.

[u/LorDFaKeR85]

Seriously gonna steal that Idea! Great!

[u/Judah-- → u/LorDFaKeR85]

Please do!!

[u/5pitt4]

How do you rearrange when someone beats a record?

[u/Judah-- → u/5pitt4]

They’re whiteboard magnet strips, you can move them around as much as you like

[u/boooooooring → u/Judah--]

How do magnetic strips stick to a wood paneled wall?

[u/Judah-- → u/boooooooring]

There’s a magnet strip behind them

[u/Newer-neanderthal887]

Love this!! I did the same a year ago with F4 at Red Bull Ring and am installing my second board because I ran out of space. It’s a fantastic way to share the fun.

[u/jokeboy90]

Now just make up another entry as "Stig" and a very unrealistic time to beat.

[u/r1ckeh]

You should do it on the Top Gear Test Track and reveal the times to them, digit by digit

[u/Judah-- → u/r1ckeh]

I actually love that

[u/Novel_Radish_1697]

Awesome!

[u/Business_Egg_4387]

Is that Cole Palmer with a 1:01 🥶

[u/kuzared]

Really great choice of car/track combo, especially chosing shorter tracks that are easy to learn quickly.

[u/ChansonPutain22]

Yeeeeeesssss i love this,,, thanks for the inspiration!

[u/nomowolf]

/u/Judah-- great idea. Some questions on the details so I can copy (or anyone else wants to weigh in with ideas)

Do you have preset conditions? e.g. datetime/fixed weather? How do you save it? Or just use default and static weather?

What assists do you allow (I can imagine some friends/family just spinning/crashing and getting frustrated otherwise). If so which ones? Race-line? Auto-blip? other?

[u/Judah-- → u/nomowolf]

70° F, 30% humidity, 30% starting track state, auto clean marbles/dust for all sessions.

I use a 20 minute AI quali session with one AI driver so it’s very simple to click a button and have it already set up.

No assists except anti stall clutch. Trial by fire. Some get it, some don’t. I enjoy teaching.

[u/Acridine_ → u/Judah--]

I did a few laps at Lime Rock and was way off the pace. Turns out you're using the classic layout.

[u/Judah-- → u/Acridine_]

Yes lol LR classic is the only true layout

[u/Stellar-Hijinks → u/Judah--]

Smart, i'll try that setup. When you get a faster time during a race you do you update the board?

[u/Judah-- → u/Stellar-Hijinks]

I won’t set laps unless I have guests over, and anyones fastest lap as long as there are no off tracks counts for the board

[u/Jecht_S3]

I want this more now. Thanks you

[u/BallsackOnMyFace]

This is a fantastic idea.

[u/vroomvroomspaceship]

such a cool idea!!! might implement it in my dorm after break :))

[u/racer-lars]

Oh yes I am starting this!

[u/Masenkou1]

"I’ve taught him everything he knows, but not everything I know." damn that's a cold line 🥶🗣️

[u/Emotional_Cucumber40]

That’s awesome 👍🏼

[u/Available-Angle-7106]

Dad is slow))

[u/Judah-- → u/Available-Angle-7106]

Booooo dad gets 2 or 3 hrs a year on the rig he’s plenty fast for the amount of time he’s put in

[u/Available-Angle-7106 → u/Judah--]

it was a joke indeed all my respect to your dad

[u/iambolbol]

Hey man can I come visit? $100 wouldn’t be too bad 😂

[u/Judah-- → u/iambolbol]

Which board you gonna go for?

[u/iambolbol → u/Judah--]

I was just kidding 😆 I will try to beat your time at Lime Rock Park, though. Can you share the weather conditions for it? Was it the fixed setup?

[u/Judah-- → u/iambolbol]

70°F, 30% humidity, 30% starting track state. Open set

[u/shewy92]

I like how only 2 people get censored lol

I'm surprised the GT3 isn't getting more love.

[u/Judah-- → u/shewy92]

F4 has been going for months I just put GT3 and F1 boards up over Christmas while my dad was here.

The 2 censored names are my brother and I

[u/Hellinar]

Who’s the pros that need to have their names redacted

[u/Judah-- → u/Hellinar]

My brother and I. Don’t need our real names on my Reddit acct lol

[u/Negative-Gas-1837]

Oh this is brilliant

[u/SergeS2K]

Nice dude, I have a similar setup. Definitely a ton of fun when you have some local competition

[u/RamboRigs]

I don’t even know that many people 😅

[u/Judah-- → u/RamboRigs]

It’s taken months to get the board this full lol

[u/Merlino9]

Now all u have to do is charge $5 for 20 laps and it will cover the $100 and then some. Because You know once they get going you can't stop! I have also thought of some kind of board but I love the idea

[u/davey-15]

I’m doing this now. That’s awesome!!!

[u/Alechilles]

That's a great idea haha, I might have to try that

[u/GoatBotherer]

This is a great idea!!

[u/Physical-Result7378]

Damn I wish I had guests…

[u/Successful_Smoke4921]

Some of your friends have weird names

[u/Judah-- → u/Successful_Smoke4921]

Rank them from weirdest to most normal
