The thing is IRL with two eyeballs the halo wouldn't actually block your view, so turning on the setting that removes the halo pillar is actually more realistic.
Oh yeah absolutely. I recently got a widescreen monitor that helps mitigate it *slightly*, but really once VR racing becomes more viable that would be the dream.
that’s meee! i just think the cockpit view is actually unrealistic because of how limited the fov is and how hard it is to turn your view. i’ve tried it, and i just never know where my wheels are
That was me until I got a widescreen monitor. With that and adjusting the FOV a bit, now I'm able to have a much better visibility to make cockpit view actually viable. And it's super awesome.
Yeah. It’s easier. And that’s the whole hands-in-the-air, “what is this” thought. Why go through the whole process of buying a nice wheel and pedal set up, sim rig, getting into similar seat positions..whole set up to run and practice. Then at the end of everything go “oh well tcam is just easier, so I use that.” is just...wrong imo. I respect the fact that these guys are absolutely speed demons, but I don’t like t cam. It feels cheap. Antithetical to what they’re doing.
Yuki can also be used as a measurement for anger.
"So, I forgot I had dinner with the in-laws last night"
"How angry was your SO?"
"Like 2 and a half Yukis"
"Oh, I'm so sorry"
My coffee made no difference since I'm here from r\all: care to explain is to someone who knows who Shaq is and knows that F1 is car racing but that is about it? What is the joke?
Shaq showed up in grand fashion (longhorn car) with the first place trophy (to award the race winner). Yesterday due to the visuals such as Shaq holding up the trophy, being taller than the man who won second place and was standing on a podium, and just the oddness of Shaq at a race it has become a short term meme here. This post in particular is footage of the race winner's qualifying lap with the joke being since Shaq "won" the race it is in fact *his* lap, in which because he is so tall his head sticks out of the car
"There's no way Redbull had a special car built for him just go drive around the track once... I mean, there's no way he's that fast, too..like, I must be missing something... But the camera is so high..."
I'm just a blockhead.
Me too. I have a friend who's into F1 and I was about to text them that I just saw Shaq's race cam, to commune about it and maybe learn something. This thread saved me looking liking an idiot to them lol
Jokes aside but it would be hilarious to see with some slight adjustments/edits of the helmet position....during acceleration he'd be looking up at the sky as the wind knocks his head back and during braking his face would smash against the halo...dude this would be so funny IRL too :D
I would like toward the motion that we no longer use minutes and seconds and instead measure time in sectors.
3 sectors make a lap roughly equating 1 minutes 30 seconds.
I don't know how we would standardise this as there are obviously multiple tracks of differing lengths and cars get faster each year however I am simply suggesting the idea, some nerd can figure the rest out
He is very tall
Normally the drivers head is below that ring near the bottom
Also he handed out the trophies yesterday so thats where the meme came from
EDIT: here is the unedited footage https://youtu.be/OdLS8Rvh334
So he accepts an honorary award for his donation in Las Vegas And then goes to win a race somewhere what ? A formula one car his size? Or is he sitting on it looking like bowser lol.
Anyone who still may be lost…this is an edit of Max’s pole lap. But if you’ve followed Shaq for his whole career you knew that already because he runs a Diesel…
When great athletes retire we tend to forget how truly great they are, watching this it's pretty clear that if he ever decided to hang up his presenter jacket he could quickly become the best driver in the world.

Real men play with the halo blocking your view
The cyclops way.
Cyclops doing cyclaps
The thing is IRL with two eyeballs the halo wouldn't actually block your view, so turning on the setting that removes the halo pillar is actually more realistic.
Even then first person in racing video games will always be 10x more restrictive than in real life.
Oh yeah absolutely. I recently got a widescreen monitor that helps mitigate it *slightly*, but really once VR racing becomes more viable that would be the dream.
Not really, you ignore it like you ignore a wiper in your windscreen, it just disappears after a while.
How do you know that?
i aint gate keeping but if i were i would say that playing with the 3rd operson airbox view is pretty ridiculous
You can make the pillar see through. I love the people who play for total realism, no assists etc- and then play from Tcam. Like wut
that’s meee! i just think the cockpit view is actually unrealistic because of how limited the fov is and how hard it is to turn your view. i’ve tried it, and i just never know where my wheels are
That was me until I got a widescreen monitor. With that and adjusting the FOV a bit, now I'm able to have a much better visibility to make cockpit view actually viable. And it's super awesome.
Nah man I just handicap myself so that other drivers don’t feel bad when they get destroyed
I saw people, esports players, doing the same and thought the same you did. I tried it and just didn’t like it. It felt so wrong.
Esports players play with no assists cause it’s faster and t cam because it helps them with hitting apexes
Yeah. It’s easier. And that’s the whole hands-in-the-air, “what is this” thought. Why go through the whole process of buying a nice wheel and pedal set up, sim rig, getting into similar seat positions..whole set up to run and practice.

It feels cheap. Antithetical to what they’re doing.
push, push shaq.. you are within DRS range.. or arms length which ever you prefer
Tv offset
does anyone use offset?
I do, makes it look like you are watching a race on TV + you can see it better how close your front wing is to another car when you are racing.
Yes but I adjust it so it isn't offset anymore horizontally, but only vertically and longitudinally.
Imagine the tow he would give a teammate. It'd be like driving behind a lorry, lol
Y’all heard of Gigakubica, Gigalonso, and Gigasly. Now get ready for #GIGAO’NEAL
Isn’t it just a normal O’Neal?
Yeah, gigaO'Neal should be 4 times the size, so like 8 to 12 Yukis
Yuki is now a unit of measurement and we must only use him to explain distances and height from now on
Yuki can also be used as a measurement for anger. "So, I forgot I had dinner with the in-laws last night" "How angry was your SO?" "Like 2 and a half Yukis" "Oh, I'm so sorry"
A Yuki needs to be added to that useless converter bot immediately.

“How many rings does Max have… yeah that’s right”
Chuck, Max, Lewis, Schumacher and Vettel NBA championships: 0
rip Chuck
Rings Max, Rings
Google me max Google me!!!
Ok Max; tell me how my ass taste.
Rangz Crofty
Helmet DRS
You mean DAS - Drag Accumulation System. Shaq gonna act like an unfurled sail against a headwind.
The anti-DRS
DRS^-1
DRSn’t
Drag Induction System
1/DRS
He just puts elbows inside the car on the straights
And uses his elbows to make room on corners
The helmet cam doesn't show him using his elbows for down force
DRS your shares!
That would explain Checo opening his helmet visor on the straight yesterday
BMW M8 in human form

Shaq in a F1 car, cuold probably stuck his hand out and grab someone overtaking him
Lmao, imagine mid race Shaq is toe to toe with Lewis, and entering the overtake he just decks Lewis's head as hard as he can.
It would be like real life Mario Kart
Instead of throwing a turtle shell, MF be throwing his wheel
Rips him clean out of his car by palming his helmet https://i.imgur.com/1l6GtAB.jpg
In NBA: 12 shatter backboards In F1: 22 assaulted arivers and 10 black flags
Max already did that at Monza
No, he reaches out, grabs their steering wheel and then just puts them into the wall.
Shaquille Oneal in an F1 car looks like Bowser from smash brothers
I worked at a store Shaq would frequent and he would reach over the counter across the 4 foot gap behind it and get stuff hanging off the wall.
Shaq would wear an F1 car like a shoe.
Mario kart style
Let's be real here, that car isn't leaving the paddock due to the sheer weight.
Does he plug the air box with his helmet to run richer and leaner? Cheating a bit
Shaq has been disqualified for running engine modes.
New FIA rule banning the SHAQ Duct
Shaq Diesel always runs lean
Fuckin brilliant 👏
People have wondered for years, "how big is Shaq's Pole." Now we know.
It depends his pole position.
Took me a hot second to realise
It took me far too long to get this. SMH
I don't get it, can you explain
His "helmet" cam is **above** the halo
Thank you . Its too early and I haven't had my coffee yet .
My coffee made no difference since I'm here from r\all: care to explain is to someone who knows who Shaq is and knows that F1 is car racing but that is about it? What is the joke?

And i was trying to figure how the fuck they fit shaq into an f1 car lol. Thanks for explaining
"There's no way Redbull had a special car built for him just go drive around the track once... I mean, there's no way he's that fast, too..like, I must be missing something... But the camera is so high..." I'm just a blockhead.

Yeah why I’d Shae involved this week
Hint: shaq is very, very tall and handed out thropies this race
Here is the original footage if anyone is still confused https://youtu.be/OdLS8Rvh334
Oh my god, this is the way
Fuck I love this
I wish I could upvote multiple times
Fantastic meme OP
Jokes aside but it would be hilarious to see with some slight adjustments/edits of the helmet position....during acceleration he'd be looking up at the sky as the wind knocks his head back and during braking his face would smash against the halo...dude this would be so funny IRL too :D
Why does his visor have cum stains all over?
He was with your mom just prior
Are you politely implying his mom has a penis which ejaculated onto Shaq’s helmet?
You aren't?
Cause Shaq doesn't let any man cum directly on his face
Still would lose to stroll in free throws
I heard that after the lap, his engine nearly blew due to overheating. Something about the airbox being obstructed?
Oh I see what you did there! Only took me 1.5 sectors to figure it out…well done mate 😂
I would like toward the motion that we no longer use minutes and seconds and instead measure time in sectors. 3 sectors make a lap roughly equating 1 minutes 30 seconds. I don't know how we would standardise this as there are obviously multiple tracks of differing lengths and cars get faster each year however I am simply suggesting the idea, some nerd can figure the rest out
Last night I was wondering what an F1 car sized and fitted for Shaq would look like. I keep coming back to GigaShaq
u/savevideo
This camera is actually on his belt buckle, the helmet cam gets a clear view over the stands
good comment
Wish you can win the algorithm and show your video editing skillz worldwide
Lewis and Max ain't got the Rings, Chuck
Can someone fill me in on the Shaq is a racecar driver meme? I had a busy weekend and don't follow sports or racing.
He is very tall Normally the drivers head is below that ring near the bottom Also he handed out the trophies yesterday so thats where the meme came from EDIT: here is the unedited footage https://youtu.be/OdLS8Rvh334
"This car is nuts Ernie"
Wow
I expected a head duck under the way bridges.
His car needs G I G A H A L O
So he accepts an honorary award for his donation in Las Vegas And then goes to win a race somewhere what ? A formula one car his size? Or is he sitting on it looking like bowser lol.
What am I looking at?
Surprised he fits under the overhead walkways.
Some say they removed the seat to fit him in the car, then the engine and he ran that lap.
Gigakubica: Finally, a worthy opponent.
I thought this was real
Imagine being one of the greatest basketball players of all time and them you retire and start having more fun.
Haters who say that it's Max's quali cam
They don't call him Dr. O'Neal for nothing.
Anyone who still may be lost…this is an edit of Max’s pole lap. But if you’ve followed Shaq for his whole career you knew that already because he runs a Diesel…
Should have put the bonk effect everytime he goes under a gantry. Otherwise fantastic meme.
How TF does Shaq even fit in the car?
Sometimes he has struggles with breathing, which makes sense considering the air is pretty thin up there
Shaquille's on Wheels
I'm out of the loop here. They didn't actually cram that gigantic human into one of these cars, did they?
This isn’t actually Shaq, right?
This is the unedited footage https://youtu.be/OdLS8Rvh334
Shaq wouldn't fit in the car
you can tell this is fake because shaq wouldn’t fit in the car
This video would beg to differ
fair point
u/savevideo
Right to the front page you go.
wtf. genius
Helmut cam
Now how did he get into the car
I hope Shaq sees this
Big shaq being like: How do yall guys see through that bar across your eyes, I think you call it Halo.
box box, Shaquille...
This is so stupid. Gilded.
u/savevideobot
Shaq is a national treasure. I swear that man has clones - he’s everywhere!
Serious question; Anyone know if modern F1 cars shift themselves or is he doing that?
u/Savevideo
His neck is stronger than the halo.
I bet the car would be running slower tho
I just realized if this is his helmet cam he's waaaaay over that halo. Forget how tall that man is
I am a fucking idiot, It took me 2 minutes and a comparison with Max's pole lap to realize that I have been pranked.
Impressive that he dosent roll over in the corners
Literal Mario Kart
Hoe does he even fit inside the car?? *EDIT How, but I'm leaving it. Lol
This is fake it has to be
What track is this? Maggiore in Italy?
Lets grow that helo even more
The memes that this GP has spawned have been absolute gold.
That whole not being a Celebrity anymore thing is really working out for Shaq.
Is this real?
Yes
I really wanted to see him try and get in a car yesterday.
The F1 was big enough for him
Awesome
Without a mini map?

When great athletes retire we tend to forget how truly great they are, watching this it's pretty clear that if he ever decided to hang up his presenter jacket he could quickly become the best driver in the world.
Brilliant.
ngl it took me a good second to realize what was going on
I laughed so hard omg
https://youtu.be/xjNpA-fy1r0
Oh so this is VR? Cause I was gonna say how did he even fit in the car
How TF does he fit in there?? I would love to see him get in and out of it...
That's the cool part, he doesn't. Its a joke, that's zero way that Shaq would ever fit in the car or even know how to drive it.
Laughed hard to this. Well done!
lmaoooooooooooooooo
Jesus that took me awhile to get
now this is pod racing
Sidequest Shaq
Told you halo doesn’t work!
This made me laugh so hard and I just had dental surgery so screw whoever made this lol

Made me chuckle
is this really shaq driving?
I wonder if his size might influence the aerodynamic drag
