We had a great chat with David on our last show about tyres in sim racing. Well worth a listen on @RSL_Studio archive or wherever you get your podcasts 🤟

Fun weekend at Paul Ricard. Took a moment to wrap my head around the tyres (closest tyre to sim racing that I’ve driven) but happy with my quali and both races. Missed a bit at the end of my stint today but that’s how it goes. Thank you @AFCorse for letting me super sub.

LMU sometimes is hard to love. I lost internet yesterday (my own fault) and finished P12 in a race.. But I lost 48% of my driver rating.. 48%!!! 😆😆😆 That took me about 3 months to get by the way...🤣

We're changing the name of the company! A few months ago I announced I was building a collector car marketplace called QuickShift. Right after announcing, I got hit with a trademark dispute. That's why I've been quiet about it. It was from a finance company. They lend money, we sell cars. Apparently that's the same thing.🙄 Could we have fought it? Absolutely. Trust me, I wanted to. The claim was ridiculous. But I remembered something: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it." That's exactly what legal fights become... months of lawyers and distractions. I wanted to spend our time building, not fighting over a name. So QuickShift is now FinalLap.com Will launch later this year. I'll share more soon.

I said I was going to build an automotive business in 2026. Here she is. It’s called QuickShift.

My take on the BavarianSimTec Delta Pulse wheel... Beautiful weight, love the grips, and the general ergonomics are almost spot on. Especially the placement of the funky switches. However, with my hands on the wheel I do have a tendency to knock the rotaries at the top of the grips - which can result in unwanted traction changes mid-corner. Also the rotary switches on the face are quite stiff. Not a biggy, just an observation. Expensive but it's my current go-to. One of the best sim racing wheels I've owned. (not a paid ad, I pay for all my sim racing hardware)

Dropbox, Steelseries, Krisp… and the list goes on. They don’t have a Breville toaster.

.@tobi removed all the Norman doors from Shopify’s offices because he couldn’t have excellent people surrounded by bad design. Ramp Cofounder @eglyman says he learned the same lesson by studying Breville toasters: “ If you care about design, you should buy a Breville toaster.” “ One of the big problems in a lot of B2B software is: it starts out clean and elegant. There's a bunch of businesses who love the product and they start serving more customers and have more requirements and more ideas.” “Before you know it, you end up with these disasters of B2B softwares which require a PhD to learn how to use.” “ If you were to go ask people, ‘What do you want in a toaster or in a microwave?’ They might say I like toast but sometimes I want to reheat pizza. I should have a ‘reheat frozen pizza’ mode. Or maybe you're cooking stuff and want it to be more like an oven, or you want to make popcorn and it's a toaster/microwave and all these things.” “Before you know it, you end up with these toasters filled with buttons and buttons and knobs and dials.” “That is literally asking customers what they want and building exactly that.” “ if you watch people toast things, what they actually do falls into two categories: you hit start and either you've undercooked the toast and need to put it back in, or you've overdone it and have to start over.” “If you look at the [Breville] there are only a few buttons. One of the four buttons is called ‘A Bit More.’” “ No one would ask you for ‘A Bit More.’ They just want the perfect level of toast and it's hard to know that, so they built that in.”

It's a podium at #Spa24h ! Ross put in an incredible final shift on double stinted tyres to bring the Aston home in 3rd. Amazing! 🏆🥉 #WeAreSRT

@davidperel Killing it as always Dave. Can't wait to try it later. Since the inclusion of racing lines, AI insights and leaderboards to Delta my enjoyment of sim racing has skyrocketed, I'm sure this will add to that enjoyment.

Every upgrade is part of the story. I recently found a few photos from the very beginning of my sim racing journey, and it's crazy to see how far things have come. People often say that expensive hardware buys lap time. Maybe it does. But it definitely wasn't always like that. Before the direct drive wheel, before the load cell pedals, before the dream setup, there was just a passion to improve. Everyone starts somewhere...

Moving @EuropeanLMS from YouTube to a walled garden app is a disaster for engagement. Especially if this is all fans see when trying to load the stream. 🥲
