    How distracting are touchscreens in cars

    Lol - and it will happen. "So why are you trading in your 320ee again, please?" "Well, sat in traffic on the M62 again and the streaming of Smash My Backdoors In v.62 wouldn't skip to the shower scene. It's knackered."

    How distracting are touchscreens in cars

    Exactly this. It's far easier and simpler to present everything through a screen than to have physical representations of buttons and dials, etc. Added to that, today's obsession with society to customise everything 'becoz I can'. The manufacturers will get far more Likes due to Karen switching...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Every now and then I check what insane stuff Overclockers dumps out in terms of the 8Pack PCs. Genuinely interested in who would buy something like this? I mean, having three 3090s onboard and SLi now strictly only being a two-card option these days - it clearly leaves the third 3090 for the...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Really am curious as to where a 3080Ti is going to be pitched between these two. Assuming they release one as per previous generations of cards?

    Battlefield 1

    It's interesting watching those back. Quite often, you're not leading the moving targets at all - instead aiming at the body of the target itself and firing, which clearly works. I'm wondering if the game engine is much more player 'friendly' towards planting the crosshairs on targets you want...

    The 'Where's my old Clio' Thread.

    The only four cars I have ever owned. Sporting - now tin-cans/landfill. GT Turbo - same fate. Evo VI - probably more structural content within an Oxo cube wrapper than in the bodywork itself. I know the shell was scrapped, but the engine lives on. Shame the image has a V front bumper and...

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    Definitely. The player stays in the same spot and has minimal inputs to think about ‘outside’ the helmet.

    Engine Dynamics - Experiences?

    I had Engine Dynamics do the remap on my engine after the rebuild. I'm eight months on and it's not missed a beat. I'd personally recommend them - especially with them being very familiar with Clios. edit - And distance is irrelevant should quality of service ring true. I'm north of Manchester...

    WRC 2 Fiesta R5 testing @ Greystoke, Cumbria

    I honestly don't know how he keeps a level head with it all. I was chatting to him the other day about something completely different and he just converses like anyone else would. Oh, but by the way you've got this whole WRC thing going on this year too....! o_O Still kind of chuffed how I used...

    WRC 2 Fiesta R5 testing @ Greystoke, Cumbria

    Nice to see Gus progressing at Ford! :) .....lol at the arch-gap, though no doubt on these rockets, that is most definitely needed. https://www.wrc.com/en/news/season-2020/wrc/greensmith-heads-youthful-m-sport-ford-line-up/?fbclid=IwAR32BHd_z-g3TAi0pvW7AQOS2ZQjyTHtEDHHlXeaaINM17n7QywhEmHXGJk

    Engine spluttering and running rich

    Yep - another nod here to the issue probably being down to the injectors. Quite impressed at how long my OEM ones lasted, tbh.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    And there we have it. The single reason why I've gone absolutely nowhere near it. When the DLCs sprinkle down and a GOTY Edition exists - I'll take a look. Until then, I have plenty more other stuff to spend time on.

    JDM Imports - Canada

    I bet it is! It's great hearing about some bonkers JDM models that you've never heard of before. If those lottery numbers came up, I'd be flying to Japan and end up like a kid in toy shop at one of those auctions.

    JDM Imports - Canada

    Only the Japs would have the awesome logic to make a force-fed RWD version of safe, practical 4WD model that already exists!

    Bioshock Infinite

    Another series on my list that I’ve not really progressed through! Working through the first Bioshock (admittedly rather slowly) before getting to the second game, then this. I recall getting it some 7+ years back and trying it on my PC at the time. Looked good, but wanted to complete the...

    DiRT Rally 2.0

    Had a dabble with the rallycross daily challenge earlier and though I was WAY off the pace in terms of times, it's easy to see where a lot of progress could be made. However, I'm puzzled (and admittedly sceptical) about some of the stage times posted. Just did a New England stage in an Evo X...

    My Sunny Gti-R

    @Mark.B - are the comments about chocolate gearboxes all true? Or are they a lot more robust than that?

    My Sunny Gti-R

    Thing is - that's about the only similarity. 85% of Joe Public today would love a Golf R because it's a Golf and quick. "Stomp on pedal - car goes BWARP *fart* BWARP" Even a minter GTi-R would see the majority of the 2020 populous sneer and roll their top lip in disgust. "A Nissan? Ugh" Hence...

    DiRT Rally 2.0

    Bought my four-car stable of Group A cars yesterday and got an achievement for it. Apparently only 0.4% of players have that? As @Steve_RS said - I prefer the slower, less powerful cars. You need to be really smooth with them to extract the best out of the small amounts of power.

    DiRT Rally 2.0

    Got promoted to Clubman level last night and stepped up to a Seat Ibiza Kit Car. More than double in terms of BHP - it's proving to be a bit of a handful in comparison to the Lancia above. Btw, the GOTY Edition for PC is down to £7.49 on cdkeys at the minute with all the DLCs...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I might hang fire until the DLC extras have been added. I did the same with Witcher 3, but then again I haven’t really played that either! Time will tell if CDPR come out of this still smelling of roses. The decision (be it financial, board level or just pure arrogance) to push this out on...

    DiRT Rally 2.0

    Think I've settled in well with the Lancia Fulvia. Low power rev-happy thing that doesn't 'feel' unwieldy, regardless of the weather. Did have a slight mishap at the start of the New England rally though, meaning the radiator was damaged. Got it fixed in the 30min window I had between stages...

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    Still gets me just how well optimised this game is. Had another defence round last night with the other three players higher rank than I and it was total carnage. Held out until Wave 25 and the amount of fire, explosions and enemies onscreen at once didn't slow the game down at all. On the PC...
