We have reactors from the 90s, so called generation III reactors, that have passive safety features that make them as safe as we realistically can. These 'traditional' designs or more modern gen III+, either are good options to build.

I quite like the ideas that Oklo have put forward with their liquid metal reactors that safe automatically should coolant flow stop. In a similar vein, pebble bed reactors can also offer similar fail-safe systems. Ultimately if they can bridge the gap until we figure out fusion which some very exciting advancements have been made in recently, even if still decades away is still within the life span of current nuclear reactors. Then our possibilities are limitless.

As for a timeframe? Yesterday would be a good start... I think they should have already been built and that much of the scare mongering regarding nuclear energy has in many ways exacerbated our present situation. The inherent fear that people have needs to be reduced before it is even anything more than a pipedream. The reality is that nuclear power takes huge investment and lots of time to build while also being a political football. But at the same time there are very few, if any, renewable sources that can provide as consistent power.

Agreed. Nuclear is great at providing a constant baseload that renewable energy can supplement. Combine with some form of energy storage to store the excess energy generated and you gain the ability to cope with rapid changes in demand as nuclear has a much slower ramp up/down time. Some countries are doing this already with their battery stores.

It's an open source project so you're in luck! Submit your own pull request so it can be reviewed and included! If you've not the skills to do so then you'll just have to have patience. :)

They'll get there when they can!

Especially in tight carparks, it's much easier to get both in and out with a large vehicle. Plus you can see much better which on a car with no reverse camera is a big plus.

I run irFFB for iRacing and with some tinkering I've got the FFB to where I reckon it's comparable.

There are some folk who've soloed entire races, they've gone down in folklore in some communities haha.

I rate ME bank, out of the banks my partner and I looked at they offered some of the better interest rates for us and they've been pretty good so far. Downside is there are no branches but AusPost has facilities to allow deposit and withdrawal iirc.

From my experience doing 6-12h events in ACC rain can really add an interesting element to racing in general. It's quite terrifying when your entire field of vision is nothing but grey! We did a 9h at Imola earlier this year and I think 6 out of those 9 hours were wet, it was a very difficult race but very rewarding if you manage to keep your nose clean that whole time!

I'm looking forward to the introduction of rain in iRacing, it definitely mixes things up setup wise in some cars! Though I must admit I've only limited experience in iRacing

I think there will be but I'll bet it'll be more aimed at getting kids excited over sim racing and trying to get them involved in the hobby!

Still something that I think I'll check out though.

As one of those Windows admins who uses all of these things, I'd have to say it can't quite possibly be all of them...

That;s definitely a good point! The shorter races do help you improve on those factors.

I find a tool like CrewChief really helps with your spatial awareness if you've not used that. The spotter call outs I find are much better than those in both iRacing and ACC. Being able to plug into other sims as well is a huge bonus! The coaching and other stuff is a great boon as well.

For strategy, I use a spreadsheet and just have it do most of the math for me haha. And as for setups... there are some great guides out there on what to change to try and improve things, it's a big learning process though!

Good luck on your improvement journey! It's definitely one that takes a huge amount of time. Trail braking took ages for me to wrap my head around and even then it's still something that I'm trying to work on!

That would've been an awesome experience!

It's definitely a great way to form friendships. Le Mans is definitely one that's on my list and the N24! Any tips for preparing?
I'm trying to improve my SR in iRacing but I've a long way to go I fear!

I love the team aspect also, being able to sit in chat and have a laugh in between stints and plan out your next move is always a lot of fun. Especially in a race with changing conditions where you're trying to figure out the best point to pit for tyres and so on. It's one of the things I love about ACC with having to deal with rain and so on which can really mix things up

I have a teammate who is legit Pro pace that does that. I have to practice so much and he comes out after a couple days practice and is like top 10 in pace! It's so frustrating sometimes! haha.

Be fair to us mortals!
