BTW, I also used to own a 928, an '82. That was a fun car, but the previous owner(s) hadn't cared for it well, so it became too much of a money-pit. I got to meet some cool people though, including the folks from Devek. I got a ride in the Devek 'White Car' from Susan (one of the racer/owners).
This is the race I did today. It is broadcast on Youtube every Saturday. It's still early in the season and I'm barely leading the championship. I started 2nd, but drove like crap today and ended up in 4th. IRacing is the most realistic racing sim available. It's not cheap for a game, but compared to track days it's cheap. You only race against real people. There are license levels from rookie to pro, which is based on how safe of a driver you are. There is also an iRating which is based on how well you finish. Lots of wins and high finishes consistently leads to a high iRating. Both of those leads to clean racing for the most part. The racing ends up being very realistic and people race like real life. Most online games are more like bumper cars and making it through the 1st corner is a crap shoot.

Today's race had a lot more carnage than normal. Multi-class racing at Road Atlanta isn't easy and leads to a lot of incidents.



I really like the 928, but now that I have the M3 I'm debating on selling it too. It's very similar to the M3 in a lot of ways, just older. That's pretty cool about getting a ride in the Devek car.

Thanks, I'll watch some of that video tomorrow. It looks like some of the same wheels work with PS4 or iRacing, so if I end up getting one of those, it would work with either. That looks really great.

Yes, my 328xi reminds me a bit of the 928 as well, w/o quite as much power. But, I think it is the balance or something. I also had a Miata for a while, which has similar balance characteristics.

I will never.

From Software can eat a fat one. That game had barely any story to speak of, and the cut-scenes we pointless. It was a frustrating game for the sake of it - not a fan.

Now if they could give me a good Armored Core game...

While Farcry 5 and COD WWII look like they'd be a waste of money, I've been going old school with BF4.

Got bored of BF1. I toss in some Fortnite here and there.

Never said the game was good, but Ninja has a ton of followers and viewers..

On a side note battle royale is "in". First was H1Z1 then Player unknown battle grounds, now its Fortnite. Fortnite also falls under the tencent umbrella, as well as some other big name games. Tencent knows what they're doing. Free game to reel you in and bam you just spent 20 bucks on skins.

Black Ops 4 may have a battle royale mode instead of a campaign..

That would be a huge plus. I liked WWII, but like the PubG set up better. Glitchy as it is....

I have played a lot of PUBG and actually like it. Fortnite not so much. But then again I hate Minecraft so the whole "building" aspect just ruins the game for me.

Same. I don't think Fortnite is terrible it's just I could never could get into arcade style games.

Nah don't hate ....you just have to GG...which I still have not done .. However, I cannot stop playing these games. I will not stop until I have played all within the series...
There is no better feeling after beating a boss that you died to 100 + times ...for those who have not played Dark Souls 3 I have pity for you when you fight the Nameless King......
