Euros, as they’re currently worth a bit more.

I put both as sometimes Americans aren’t aware of the conversion rate

Even if they had an identical twin, what are the odds of their twin being in the pool of 99 other randomly chosen people?

Haha good point, i hadn’t considered the odds of 99 out of 8 billion including an identical twin

A quick approximation with a desktop calculator says 0.000001%

I’m sure I could beat 99% of a random sampling of people at any F1 track in F1 2023 or Asseta Coursa or iRacing.

It’s a niche game experience that not a lot of people really practice to get good at it, and of those that do few have spent the money on racing rigs and VR. My son and I race in leagues and do pretty well. I know it’s just a video game but I’ve occasionally gotten better lap times than the professionals.

My son got me into it and built my rig for me (which is extra special for me!) and last weekend for the first time since we started I actually beat him! He came up and I told him I got lucky because he got cut off by another car and lost control and couldn’t make up the loss fast enough and he said “no Dad, your really fast!” Hearing that from my son brought me the feels!

I’ve failed to make Asseta Corsa to run on my VR headset (Quest2). No matter what I do, it runs on the flat screen inside VR. Any tips?

I’ll ask my son. I think he uses the same headset as you.

I’m not so sure. There’s 34 upvotes on this post so far and with me chiming in there’s a confirmed 3 simracers commenting already. Probably more.

And while you are probably better than me by the sounds of it, I’m good enough in my rig that if you make a small mistake or two I have a pretty good chance. Especially if I get to pick the track.

With a million bucks on the line the pressure will be on. Have you raced for a million dollars before?

Lol no, just bragging right ls between my son and I and internet people. I’m not great in traffic, if I don’t start on front it gets sketchy for me making it even in VR.

What is your track(s) of choice?

I like the shorter faster circuits with high speed turns. Red Bull ring, Monza, Silverstone, Barcelona and maybe even Paul Ricard. Canada is fun too.

I suck at anything too twisty and technical. Can’t do Monaco to save my life.

My specific subfield in software development.

Not because I’m particularly good at it - just because it’s incredibly niche and the few dozen other people on the planet who also work in my field would probably not be amongst those 99.

Same, there’s maybe 40 ppl in the world who can do what I do professionally at the moment.

Speaking Estonian. There are few enough native speakers on the planet that the odds of anyone out of 99 being better is negligible.
