This interaction was the first time I had seen this guy all race. Genuinely lost for words.

Maybe he was upset that I tried to overtake him? I have no idea.

So fucking upsetting. I'm finally done with my exams, so hyped to race, and this shit happens on lap 7.

Not often you'll see this!

iRacing, your netcode is shocking, somehow even worse then what some drivers are.

How is this going to be addressed?

I wish iRating was more nuanced from class to class. I am a lower split driver and my iRating usually floats between 1300-1600, but only if I stick to Rookie MX5 and GT4. But everytime I dip my toes into GT3 I find myself wayyyy off pace, I think at Mugello this week by BEST laps are about 4-5 seconds slower than the leaders in my given split. I know I just need to practice more and find my flow with new tracks but man does it hurt. 1400 SOF in GT4 and 1400 SOF in GT3 are waayyyyy different (at least to me).

How long did it take y’all to find pace in GT3? I love the cars but hot lapping in last place isn’t that fun and I’m sure my iRating will be below 1000 (again) very soon.

So as the title says, I just reached D class for formula.

Ive been exclusively racing sports cars, mainly PCup, so formula is quite new for me.

I bought the F4 and im gonna run that for a bit.

Of course, seat time is going to be the biggest factor, but beyond that, for sake of discussion and words of wisdom for not only myself, but future sim racers as well, what tips/tricks, mindsets, perspectives etc etc has helped you guys improve your pace, car control, racecraft, accident avoidance etc for formula style driving/racing?

Thanks guys!

Got to 3K last week in sports cars, an achievement i´ve been pursuing for long time.

Now, i feel like im loosing a lot of the portfolio of cars iracing has to offer because i only race GT3s and now im a bit tired of that.

Also, im a bit concerned about loosing SR, which series would you reccomend checking?

thanks in advance!!

As title.

Any hints or tips or how to take the kerbs at the red bull ring in the fixed European series this week.

Sometimes it's fine other times I get sent off track or spin.

I have noticed gentler braking and almost lifting before turn in helps but unsure whether there is a very specific line to take or not ..

Can add a lap video if anyone needs it to show what I'm doing.

TIA

Every other time I try to get on and do some races this error or something similar pops up and no matter what I do it simply won’t let me join. Any fix to this?

Nordschleife + Dallara iR18 = safety gaining.

I grided 18th (no quali). Intentionally lifted till I am kinda last one and alone. Just floated three laps with 0x (was 1x but ok). Result - with no fight at all I finished 15th place lol.

This recipe is relevant only for new players who for whatever reason want to get to A license :) Doesn't give you any skill.

Honestly I enjoy door2door in Vees or 1600 much more.

G29, 2-3 months of iRacing.

No gloves

1 hour a day, in 2-3 sessions.

I practice the gentle hands techniques, but still noticed my palms and pads of fingers are getting sore.

I work at a desk, and I'm used to all the repetitive injuries info, that's not a worry for me.. but I wondered if anyone else experienced this early on?

I'm just starting to use padded weight lifting gloves and bought bicycle grip tape, so help with grip.

Motorcyclist, play guitar, but have suffered with rsi before. No longer a youngin.

Just wanna be cautious. Maybe I'm over doing it?

I did step on it before the green, but watching the replays it seemed like everyone started and you can usually go before you get the green lights as long as everyone else is.

Maybe the sign I did something too cheeky was the fact I passed the leaders. Ended up going back to last but recovered to sixth.

I didn’t end up with any penalty’s for the start but I know the start procedure is wonky and no penalty doesn’t mean I didn’t cheese the start. I didn’t try to cheese it and I definitely got lucky everyone else played it safe.

Hi everyone!
I’m looking to get some drivers together for a new iRacing league under RSF1, a racing community I’ve previously run F1 league championships with. We’re now looking to expand into iRacing, and I thought I’d see if anyone here would be interested in getting involved!
The main thing we’re aiming for is a competitive league where your pace and iRating genuinely don’t matter. Whether you’re a 5k iRating driver or someone who’s only just started iRacing, there should be something meaningful for you to fight for.

How will it work?

An 8-round championship, with everyone racing together on one grid.
Drivers divided into Pro, Am and Rookie classes based on preseason pace testing.
An overall Drivers’ Championship, plus separate championships for each class.
Fixed setups and identical cars to keep things fair.
Race nights featuring qualifying, a feature race and a shorter sprint, potentially using class-based reverse grids.

Constructors’ Championship

This is something we’re particularly excited about!
Each constructor will have three drivers – one Pro, one Am and one Rookie, all racing their own cars under the same team name and colours.
Constructor points will be based on each driver’s finishing position within their own class, rather than their overall finishing position.
This means a Rookie winning their class contributes just as much as a Pro winning theirs!
The idea is to encourage some genuine teamwork, with experienced drivers helping newer drivers improve, while giving everyone an important role in their team’s championship fight.

Season 1 Details

100% base iRacing content – no additional car or track purchases required, just an active subscription.
Cars and circuits to be decided through driver votes or random draws.
Classes determined through preseason testing, so iRating won’t dictate where you’re placed.
Drop rounds to allow for the occasional missed race.
Final schedule and details to be confirmed once we’ve gauged interest.
We’re not trying to create an ultra-serious esports championship, but we do want clean, competitive racing with proper championship battles and a good community around it.

You don’t need to be quick, experienced or have a high iRating to join. If you’re willing to race fairly, have a laugh and hopefully improve along the way, you’re exactly the sort of driver we’re looking for.

We’re currently gathering interest before finalising everything, so if this sounds like something you’d enjoy, drop a comment or send me a DM!
Hopefully see some of you on the grid!

Does anybody know of any fixed nascar truck leagues?

I've read the reviews but would like first hand experience. I have decided to not go the triples route and stick with VR. Currently I am using the PSVR2 (globular cluster mod) with the following spec pc: Ryzen 7 9850X3D, RX 9070 XT, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD Gen4 NVMe SSD, DDR5 5600, 850W PSU. The only game I'm running is iRacing.

I am considering the upgrade for better resolution, a sharper image, eye tracking, and increased comfort.

Would it worth it to upgrade to another headset?

In the real world that would be wildly unsafe, and SR is still being calculated for as long as there are cars still completing the race, so it matters what happens after the finish. Completing an entire session with 0 incidents only to run in to the back of someone to get a x4 is frustrating as heck

Hi all, my name is Siggy and I’m new to iracing, looking for someone to adopt me to show me the ropes. I have a g920 and will soon be getting a rig,

Hi,
recently i came back to sim racing (played a bit ACC like a year ago but nothing serious, only 60 hours max).
I mainly play the M2 Bmw (for some reason i cannot control the MX-5 no matter what I try)
D class and about 1100 irating
yesterday I finished 4th in the qually but ended 9th the race due to a spin in couple laps in.
started another race, finished 1st (first time yay) in qually but again, spun in the first lap and finished 7th.
Is there a way to avoid it? or just continue racing until i get more experience?
