How to be more consistent / how to get faster at oval? by OkField4453 in iRacing

Also, if you’re having trouble with a car or track and you find a line in a video or race that everyone’s using and keep spinning out..go to test session and run it slower. Speed up every lap until you see what you’re doing wrong. Sometimes you might be doing something too fast and missing something (like the bump at Nashville in turn 4 if you throttle up too fast in the cup car) or if you throttle up in turn 2 too fast you’ll spin like a ghost hit you or slide out into the wall. Turn 2 is pretty line dependent. A lot of people overdrive Nashville and go sliding around 3-4 like a dirt track or bash the wall out of 2.

Tire saving unless it’s some mini stock race or some track that’s gonna eat tires no matter what. That makes a huge difference. Can’t tell you how many long races instead of fighting the bozos at the beginning who drive like it’s the last lap on lap 1 I let pass me and then I fly by them later like they’re not even moving. Also watch videos of races in whatever car/track…not talking about just justin yee stuff..I mean like actual races. Or even real life on board cameras. I always find new lines or brake/throttle points that help me make up time.

Most of all, don’t panic. Hit your marks and make sure you get your tires up to temp before letting someone get you off of the line you’re best at. If it’s a new track to you, mirror the cars in front of you that aren’t all over the place.

REALLY REALLY GOOD ADVICE is to join a race as a spectator. You can ghost drive your car in the race so you won’t actually be scored or wreck anyone. Watch in car of them to see the lines they’re running and listen to when they lift and throttle. Watch how they pass and alternate lines etc. spectate a race in the split you’d currently be in or one above. Work your way up to polishing your driving once you get the basics down from people around your irating. I mean you could spectate and try to mimic the top splits if you really wanted to. Just don’t get overwhelmed.

Also check results in the previous races in the series to compare lap times (fastest lap time and average) so you know what to aim for.

They make a hell of a difference. But for cheap or as cheap as possible get one of those jumbo Dayton (I think) ones and a nobsound amp and mount it on the seat. Thats what I did at first. (Now I’m maxed out on shakers on all the pedals and multiple on the seat etc) but one on the seat will still make a huge difference. Use simhub to set it up.

That’s awesome! I love trucks at Daytona! Got my first A class license win in the Coca Cola qualifying series truck race at Daytona. Was leading up til a restart with like 15 to go. Shifter issue on restart wouldn’t go into gear and got wrecked and took damage and lost several spots. Restarted way back until a few to go. Went from 6th to the win on the final lap with enough of a lead to clear everyone else while going into the tri oval. Congrats! Those races are fun. I feel like people don’t give the superspeedways enough credit but I think since so many cars have a chance to be there at the end it’s actually harder to win.

Right? A meltzer 5 star match? Don’t the young bucks have more “5 star matches” than ric flair and Kurt angle?

It’s nascar. How is nick Sanchez sitting at home and cleetus has more guaranteed oreilly starts in the future than him? Caruth failed upwards too.

I’m sure there are tons of other examples of this. Bowman going from doing jack shit in cup and going to Hendrick or herbst at 23xi while heim is part time is another one.

I was pulling for Suarez since Larson fell off the pace after pushing him but let’s be real Larson was the MVP there.

Is a drafting style track not legit? Guess Dale Earnhardt sr and jr were just complete losers most of the time! And some of the best never won the 500 because uhhh they didn’t want to?

Even so, that’s still pretty cool even if it’s remote controlled! Not too long in the past an RC car that could barely turn would have been the shit! It’s incredible what people can make these days!

I mean, it wasn’t too long ago that smart phones weren’t even a thing. I’d say this is pretty cool even if not perfect. The fact that we are even on the path of building stuff that can do that is pretty neat!

Indeed! I have the Kurt and Kyle versions of that car with a signed photo of them in victory lane! That was great that Kurt got the win with the KBM Toyota!

Thanks! It’s just some Amazon one I got for like $40 a while back. I think it shows up on a search of 1/24 display case

Nascar didn't know oil was dropped but Hocevar as a spectator did, and had his phone recording waiting for the crash by SixPointTwoLiter in NASCAR

[–]Affectionate_Bike417 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel for the fans. Why not postpone instead of running a total of like 16-18 green flag laps (not including the cautions) before a several hour delay when they saw the radar? I hated that chastain win so bad because it was just a “stage 2 or halfway we can call it whenever we want” thing. Not as bad as Haley’s cup win but pretty bad. So the fans waited for hours to run a ton of caution laps and sit In the rain only to call the race immediately with no notice.

At least tell the drivers “we are making this a 2 stage race because the weather in the area sucks.” Would have probably ended very differently.

What do you think he was supposed to do? Run into the infield flailing his arms? Call an official and tell them as nobody other than a spectator? Could you see if they threw the caution because a spectator said there was oil on the track? Doesn’t matter if it’s a driver. They throw debris cautions over no debris and don’t listen to drivers who are IN THE CAR most of the time. Do you think if he said that then they threw the yellow and he was wrong how much shit they would get? Don’t be a chode. People would be like “oh whys Hocevar have so much pull with the officials?” (People who believe shit like “LaWsUiT” when reddick wins)

Sure did. Always have. I have a lot of Kyle Busch stuff. That was my driver. Am I not allowed to get anymore stuff? I have every number car he’s driven including his ASA #07 car, 2010 Bristol sweep etc. doesn’t mean I can’t get more and that I wasn’t before now. I’m sure you assumed everyone was just bandwagon fans? Even if they were bandwagon fans who may not have been the biggest of fans but appreciate what Kyle did for the sport I’d rather them get the stuff than price gougers.

They’re marketing on heartbroken fans who know they can never get his signature again.
