turn one at VIR, two wide, i stomp my race spec birks into my loadcell utilizing all 200kg its rated for (im a beast). my race spec birk clad foot blasts my poor brake pedal out of my wood rig proving how powerful i am. i hear the all too familiar sound of a hole being punched into drywall, my race spec clad birk foot collapses under the pressure and folds into my clutch pedal. boys i am limping right now what the hell i was just playing a game

obligatory rig set up in last pic. happy holidays! ill be back iracing, i will be back.

Bro was so excited to play he just grabbed the shortest screw he can find (should really be a bolt and nut here)

It happens. That was me with the g27 pedals back in the day with velcro. Only took few times rallying in GT5 for the accident to happen
