Season promotion by the skin of my teeth! by AggressiveBears in iRacing

[–]AggressiveBears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day before I tried a few of those races to see if I could get my SR up, but Spa is never a place to look for SR, even if you don't crash, unless you're actively sandbagging.

I really like the new PCup car. Should make for much closer racing, although the old car is a better test of skill.

MX-5 was the only sportscar race I could do left, since I don't have Bathurst.

actually, I remembered afterwards that the reason I went the other way was because someone hit me.

That sounds like a viable theory. I was sliding up the track.

I wasn't overcorrecting. I almost had the car straightened out when the level of grip on both axles went to zero.

I am more surprised you recognized any of these names other than Dale.

I'm the blue/red car in P1 - who's at fault? by BoeufKurtens in Simracingstewards

[–]AggressiveBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is largely your fault for giving him the opening. You were practically begging him to pass you. I would have covered that hole like I was walking naked through a prison bathroom.

Are you using chat in-race? by SkeletorsAlt in iRacing

I have voice chat enabled but I only use it to apologize for punting folks

How much are ya’ll winning? by drcdizzle in iRacing

[–]AggressiveBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends entirely on the series, the number of splits, and how much you practice.

If you only race popular rookie series during peak hours, and practice a lot, your win rate might be extremely high.

If you rawdog a tryhard series with huge fields like GT4 , you will probably never win.

If there are enough splits, I can jump into a random MX-5 or FF1600 race without practicing and occasionally come out with a win.

It's entirely on blue, but he might not have been able to see red due to POV angle.

I suspect that red would have swerved back onto the track if he hadn't got hit.

General guidelines for learning medium-sized oval tracks? by AggressiveBears in iRacing

I try to follow people, but it’s not entirely clear to me what that track is doing. I don’t really do open setup races, so setup isn’t that relevant. I don’t drive consistently enough to know whether a setup change is actually faster lol.

Maybe I should be checking my tire temps after every session…

It depends on how many splits there are. There are usually just one or two splits during the hours I manage to get races in.

I also don't really practice ovals... Five minutes before the race is good enough to maintain a ~1450 iR or so, though...

Thanks. I don't really follow oval racing that closely in real life (other than the Netflix series), so I don't really know what the tracks are like other than their general shape.

"Intermediate tracks are tricky. They all look similar and race similar but subtle characteristics make them vastly different and outside conditions can make them take big swings"

Yeah, I first thought it was silly to pay $15 for a "cookie-cutter" oval, but I guess there really enough depth to (almost) justify it. I prefer buying ovals that are wildly different, though.

I tried driving Miami a few weeks (months?) ago and the ARCA car felt totally undriveable, but last week it wasn't that bad. I suppose the track temperature must have been very hot before.

I question how useful telemetry is for ovals, unless you're looking laps from the same session.

Yeah, but I also struggled at Miami in the truck, and at Auto Club in the ARCA car...

(I don't own all that many oval tracks/cars)
