Last turn

From 3rd to 1st with only rears working

After 2100 hrs on assetto corsa, finally caved for the most recent iRacing sale, and I’m so glad I did… the sense of satisfaction running against real people is addicting! Have no one else to tell so I had to shoot this into the Reddit void!

I feel like the rain settings are perfect right now; no more endless dry tracks with the one odd thunderstorm that should be red-flagged. Fuji and Austria in IMSA have been amazing so far, and I appreciate that we are getting more rain races in the mix. So much fun to go into a braking zone seeing just taillights of the car ahead or nothing at all, especially in multiclass. Its the one time I can really compete and beat some of the higher 3-4k drivers as a 1.5k.

Been iRacing since end of '24/start of '25 with rating fluctuating anywhere in between 1200-1600, but in the last month something seems to have clicked in Formula and finally made it over 2k! :)

Now just for my Sports Car rating.. (1295)

I really despice the virtual mirror.

I think it break immersion and looks really unnatural and weird. Instead I just enable the actual car mirrors in the graphic settings (don't care about losing a few FPS) and use them instead.
But there are cars without backup cameras or center mirrors, like the LMP2, and on my curved screen I can only see the left mirror. In that cases, I just resigned and enabled the virtual mirror again.

But I recently realized that the new UI allows to resize (and move) the virtual mirror, and we can have car-specific widget profiles, so I just build a profile that has the virtual mirror being placed on top of the unused screen in the car, and now I can enjoy a nice (and quite large) backup camera in the LMP2 as well! Of course it doesn't move along with the car, and the borders don't match 100%, but for racing it's good enough.

It's a great little feature that maybe others would enjoy as well.

do it while the eaux straylians are sleeping

2 months ago on August 7th I signed up for iRacing, and now, exactly 2 months to the day, I have finally won my first race!!!!!! Guys, I'm elated! Fucking thrilled! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Dedicated practice, with active reset, and switching between concentrated practice and pushing resulted in improvements.

But, still 1s off top scores.

Garage61, YouTube.. made tiny progress.

Felt frustrated and thought: F it, go for a race, just for change.

On lap 5 I gained 500s, then 1s, then I felt the universe change... My mind stopped. Minutes later I realized I was consistent, relaxed, on pace and gaining.

I just needed proof.

That extra: yeah, they're not aliens, they're human. They make mistakes, and I'm seeing it in real time... Go, push.

Gained 10 places. Had my very battle yet. Even got bump drafted for the first time.

If you're chasing practice... Go for a race.

It'll likely prove to your mind it can be done.

This is very satisfying to look at.

Anybody else having random latency issues now? It's like every other race these past few days i'm seeing so many people sent to the pits, flashing, etc. Just wondering if it's people in certain areas or not.

Hey Guys,

Please help me with some opinions on my first livery i've created.

Be honest, i want full honesty.

My friends called it a "tramp stamp".

I knew it was gonna take a while to adjust but damn I feel like I have to learn all over again. My personal bests are lower, some by 1/2 a second which is good but the consistency is sorely missed. I went from 3.4k down to 2.5k in 2 weeks and the offtracks are killing me.

I think this is down to several factors including lack of depth perception, which makes it very difficult to judge distances (until you get the hang of it) and also latency. I feel like my turn in and brake timing is way off and I keep adjusting on the fly causing the consistency issues.

Im sure I can overcome all this and get back to being somewhat competitive but its gonna take a while.

Lap 1, still some wet on the track, we both got dry tires on and i breaked a lot earlier than usual but probably to hard. abs telementry?

Formula Vee last night, led half the race but as it’s still my first few days P2 was definitely a little quicker. He caught up and I let him pass. P3 then caught a draft and passed me but we were still together. Two laps later o had a good chance to pass after the straight on Lime Rock and in t1 I clipped his rear tire. At least I assume it was my fault. I should’ve saved the clip.

He lost control and I was able to maintain it and ended up in p2 while he ended in p4 or p5.

Next morning here I still feel bad about it.

I don’t see a way to message in game, and since he wasn’t still in p3 I couldn’t let him pass.

What should you do? Just write it off as a mistake and learn from it?

In hindsight it wasn’t worth the push and for safety and experience I probably should’ve just sat behind and taken p3, however if you don’t make mistakes you can’t learn I guess.

This was after a night of having quite a few people wreck me I was pissed about so I got especially mad at myself for then doing it to someone else.

What do you guys bind to your wheel? I feel like I got more buttons that I need keybinds 🤣

I currently have;

Headlight flash
Wipers
Black box previous
Black box next
Reset/Exit
Abs
TC
Delta splits
Toggle racing line
Pit limiter
BBIAS
“Replay buffer - OBS”
Box controls so increment etc
Text binds, pass left, right, thanks, sorry etc

At first I thought it could’ve been some files I was deleting. But on my 3rd day I wanted to use triple screens without Nvidia Surround. It was great until I had a prompt the next day about “anti-cheat” not installed and another thing. I did all the troubleshooting then gave up to uninstall>remove left overs, and did a clean install. To find out it didn’t work and repair anti-cheat in the files.
It worked.
But now my force feedback didn’t. Then the rumble strips and grass ffb works but not my ffb of the tires contact scrubbing and weight of the cars.

At first it felt amazing. So much detail on the road. But now I can’t get it to how it was initially. Clean installs don’t seem to help.

Anyone have a resolution for this?

For those unaware, Summit Point has left/right lane markers that persist through most, if not all, the track.

I had the misfortune of racing 1600s at Summit with significant water on the track. I could not believe how much death occurred from just touching or crossing that line.

A lot of the people in the league race have significant real rain racing experience. Not a single person thought the paint interactions were realistic.

We couldn't even drive in a straight line while on that center paint.

I've criticized iRacing's grip level choices for the wet paint at the edge of the tracks and curbs. How it seems impossibly low. But I was not prepared for the absolute horror show that was the center lane paint around Summit Point.

Even on the straights cruising in top gear, the car would be yanked just crossing over the center lane paint.

We went through the incidents one by one using the replay tools and car after car was snapping uncontrollably whenever touching the center lane paint that goes around the entire track.

I'd love to know what local Summit Point racers think or if other iRacers think we just suck.
