@WoomyNNYes It happens to the best of us, do not worry in the slightest. I let my PS+ subscription lapse in June and surprisingly it didn’t affect me too much, so I’m waiting until I get a stronger urge to use it again. Usually they’re no damage, but automatic reset to track, and ghosting with lapped cars. I’ve taken seven or eight wins, and some of them are the stuff of legend.

My favourite one was when I was racing an Aston Martin Vantage V8, and qualified P12. Had a good start, passed a bunch of cars, and ran super deep into the race (Laguna Seca, 13 laps), pitting and emerging in the lead. Made no mistakes and won by almost ten seconds, against some pretty good competition. I still have the entire race video saved on the PS5 hard drive.

There’s no incentive to prove yourself online honestly. Only do it if you can take it, and believe me you need to have a calm mindset when racing online.

Currently playing:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Persona 4 Golden
Dragon Quest XI S
F1 23
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Is racing online competition that difficult match or keep up with?

@WoomyNNYes Seems Daft Punk made an incredible comeback just to present the Ballon D'or!

@TheJGG Is anyone streaming/airing F1 testing? I thought I saw, perhaps, two weekends here that they were testing this season's cars.

@WoomyNNYes Yeah, testing's being broadcast on television. The first test was treated by F1 as a shakedown and therefore there was't any live timing or broadcasting. It's in Bahrain, where the first race is, and judging from last year, there could be some sandstorms in the region. I'll definitely be watching it when it happens on March 8-10, from GMT 8am onwards, I believe.

@TheJGG I can't believe this was the kid I was riding, and chatting with at the skatepark/pumptrack yesterday. I thought he was just the nice, local kid that shreds on his bmx bike; He's 16, doesn't even have his drivers license yet. XD

Anyway, I saw this clip of him, didn't realize it's actually the Laguna Seca corkscrew. The slow motion part is impressive. Since this clip is a youtube short, it can't be embedded. You'll have to click the link.

@WoomyNNYes Happy coincidence! Conquering Laguna Seca is tough, on two, or four wheels but wow. Going into the corkscrew that fast doing a wheelie... talented for sure.

@TheJGG and anyone else,

F1 at Monaco, and Indy 500 today. I'll check out Monaco, and watch the end of Indy 500.

Leclerc crashed that vintage Niki Lauda car in the F1 pre race show. XD Oof. Not on purpose, obviously. They revealed the brakes failed. It was cool to see it run, though. ......there wasn't too much damage, mostly spoiler damage.

Travis Pastrana getting extreme, does a grind with a car. A proper grind, too. The active aero on this car is pretty cool. I like the jetski guy that jumps the car's wake at 6:00. It's impressive and funny.

I posted the video so it plays at the grind

@WoomyNNYes
That's amazing!
Travis Pastrana was my OH's hero. There's one where he's doing a loop on a bike which he's modded so the forks spin 360? The bike comes apart mid air and he has a very bumpy landing...
