This one's a sprint format, right? Friday practice then race quali, Saturday sprint quali then sprint, Sunday race?

Yup. It's a lot of things in a very short amount of time. Only one practice.
I'm interested to see what how the sprint and the sprint shoot out works on the non-street circuit.
I'm not a huge fan of the sprint. But the last two sessions of the shootout were pretty suspenseful last time. It might be fun to do that format for regular qualifying.
Looking forward to this. Short track with a few corners that drivers can get their elbows out (looking at you Lando and George).
Was this the track where Carlos' engine blew when they were looking at a 1-2 last year?
Who's going to end up in the gravel? Perez?
The red bulls will most likely be in the distance but should be fun.
This will be my first Austrian GP, what’s the track like and aside from Verstappen dominating what’s to expect?
This is a track I never bothered to learn on the F1 games. Maybe I’ll be inspired after this Sunday race!
Its quite fun to run on in even a simple sim rig, just wheel and pedals, which is what I have. I managed a 1.29.116 in a Lotus Exos 125, which I think these days would be a Formula 3 car.
Edit: I play Assetto Corsa
I've raced this a lot! It's a good time. I think the RSS formula 3 is a free download if you want a more modern feeling car!
I’ll give it a shot, thanks!
You playing on PC?
Edit: I'm so going for this lap time tonight haha!
Yep, from Steam
Edit: Good luck mate! If you beat that, I’m getting in the RSS F3 mentioned above.
I managed a 1.18.357, so I'm guessing somewhere, we are not doing the same thing. Lotus Exos 125, Red Bull Ring, 20C, 0 wind, 20L of fuel.
Aiight that’s it, after the kids go down I’m getting back in the rig. Im coming to beat that time heheheh
There is no way you put in 1.18 in this thing. Screenshots or it didn’t happen lol! I upped mine to 1.26, check it: https://imgur.com/a/JvKbboC
I have a standard sim atm. Sounds like I should dive back into the Red Bull Ring. To be fair I have improved so much in cornering lately I should give it another go. BTW be sure to check out !simracing@lemmy.ml and !iracing@lemmy.ml we need to pump the sim racing communities here!
I've linked simracing in the sidebar.
It’s worth it IMO - one of the easiest tracks. Tricky turn for me is always getting traction out of T3 (the first hair pin, not sure id it counts as T2 or T3 because of that left kink after T1). But I think the whole track flows pretty nicely.
I've improved a lot with cornering on the sim so I think it's time for another go! See my comment above about different sim communities on Lemmy
