Very stupid question that could lead to good stories

Hi, Here's my stupid question. I'm a sim fan and also a amateur beer taster ;-). I'm wondering if anyone ever tried siming under the influence?? Personally i've never tried.. i'm bad enough as it is. Thanks....

Honest Abe. My best time at The Ring is an 8:25 or 8:26. I did it on a weekend night just running laps with a couple friends who had a league race coming up there. 5 cans o' Budweiser in 3 or 4 hours before i did it. The Midtown Madness series or equivalent seem like ideal slosh-fest games though ;>)

I find that even one beer will cost me 1-2sec at most tracks in GPL. David "Bla Bla" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NbRj8.49016$[email hidden]...

I find that 1 or 2 beers will actually speed me up at N4 tracks, after that it seems to go a bit downhill. -- Steve Levett "Bla Bla" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NbRj8.49016$[email hidden]... > Hi, > > Here's my stupid question. > I'm a sim fan and also a amateur beer taster ;-).

I've raced may a race whilst hammered... usually when I have a load of friends over. After a dozen beers or so it can get hysterically funny as you try to keep on the track... especially when your mates are hurling insults, poking you, stealing you beer and making you laugh halfway through a race. Online gaming is great fun, but having a room full of people playing together is better... I guess to some that would make me a 'dorky arcade racer' :O) Heckler

It does actually make me faster... but it also impairs my judgement when judging the size of gaps etc. Not a good idea on VROC! -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

Simply put, for example, driving in the wrong direction in a VROC race with a dozen or more other people trying to take it all very seriously, is suddenly far from entirely out of the question! :) In fact, it can seem like exactly THE thing to do! Same old story - DONT DRINK AND DRIVE! :) Maybe this is a glimpse into the future of sim racing - Electronic voice says "Now sir, take a deep breath and blow into your Microsoft Breathalyzer mouthpiece until you hear the beep ........... Your blood alcohol level is below acceptable limits. You may now enter VROC". ????

Nothing like taking my Porsche out after a few beers ! (NFS 5) Don't do it on-line though they'll whip yer ass ! Ho hum Jez

I can race on-line in N4 on any Speedway or Super speedwaywith 15 beers in me, but anything that requires turning left and right, braking points, accelerating, ect... I can only have a few before my times suffer. Guess it makes a good point about drinking and driving. Also makes the point that Nascar ovals are easy compared to road course racing.
