Huge fan of this iteration of my rig

Just added the tablet live dashboard to my ever-changing sim racing rig.

I really like the way it turned out. It's just an old Galaxy Tab4 attached to the desk with a car mount. Running SimHub and Simhub Android app.

It allowed me to stop using RaceLabs Advanced Panel Overlay which I was looking to do. Plus it looks neat.

Some info about the rig for anyone who cares...

3 random 24in curved monitors. 75hz, 144hz, 75hz mounted to a desk via monitor arms.

The next thing I'm looking to upgrade to is a better triple monitor mount. My current setup allows for too much sagging.

Cheers!

Update 2.9 Has Been Pretty Great

I've been rocking OTA 2.9 on my Polestar 2 for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's been an impressive update.

One of the standout features for me has been the improved efficiency app. It's a fantastic addition that I've been enjoying watching the graph change based on my driving and the road.

There was a poll a while back about Pilot Assist holding too far to the right or left. It was interesting to see mixed responses. Some folks agreed while others claimed they hadn't experienced the issue at all.

I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced a problem on a particular stretch of highway where Pilot Assist would uncomfortably stick to the right side of the lane. However, with update 2.9, I haven't encountered this problem again on the same stretch of road. It's worth noting that there haven't been any documented changes to how Pilot Assist functions, nor any modifications to the road (like repainting the lane markings, for instance).

All in all, I believe the 2.9 update is a significant step in the right direction for the Polestar 2. It's great to see the company actively working on improving the driving experience. Kudos to the development team!

Competitive Options For Assetto Corsa

My obsession with sim racing has grown significantly, and I've thoroughly enjoyed pushing my limits to enhance my skills. I wanted to keep track of my progress and potentially participate in competitive events in Assetto Corsa.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon some fantastic options for competitive racing.

One of my personal favorites is the World Sim Series (WSS), which boasts a user-friendly web interface and offers a wide range of racing opportunities.

Another exceptional choice is United Racing Data (URD), a comprehensive platform that caters to all your racing needs.

For thrilling live hot lap competitions, I highly recommend checking out SetupsAndTimes and RSRLiveTiming.

To experience a more realistic racing atmosphere, Sim Racing System (SRS) organizes races where participants are required to register using their legal names, ensuring fair competition.

If you're interested in learning more, I've provided additional details about each of these options.

Are there any other platforms you use that I haven't mentioned?
