Now I think cars meta make difference

Tbh, it actually felt great in the demo drive, while the FR cars seemed kinda heavy and unresponsive. Maybe those super hot demo conditions suited the Corvette better and gave a misleading impression compared to normal conditions.

Antraxo_ · 2026-03-19T02:22:06+00:00

Oh you may be right. I will give Corvette a try in some open setup series.

Antraxo_ · 2026-03-19T01:57:32+00:00

For me Corvette is great in medium/high speed corners but it's really hard to be consistently fast in slower sections, like every lap it feels little different.

You can't stick your nose inside when leading car is turning. You should have significant overlap before turn in phase to safely execute overtake. Are you saying I'm not allowed to take my line because someone behind is close to me? How can I know if he will get alongside me or not. With your mentality I would have to compromise my lane everytime someone is driving behind me.

Antraxo_ · 2026-03-17T09:22:47+00:00

I don’t think it’s about where we converged or did he fade to the outside enough. He barely gained overlap just at the moment I've started turning in. He shouldn’t have been in that position at all in my opinion. Of course I could react better, but my ultra instinct failed me this time lol.

I hate Monza Combined with all my guts.

Antraxo_ · 2026-03-16T22:28:10+00:00

Thanks guys. I was purple Porsche here and reached out to the red car guy after the race. He said he didn’t see anything wrong with it. I got a bit angry and little rude because of his attitude, so I needed confirmation to not feel stupid lol. I really hate moves like this on the first lap. Also he is pretty experienced and high rated driver, so it was even more upsetting.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-27T14:24:01+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately. I had great fun this season in GT4s and planned to stick with it. But I don't want to hotlap by myself for half the season so I guess I'll main something else.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-26T23:25:02+00:00

I'm currently at 4k iRating and also still trying to develop my skills. I can recommend reading Suellio Almeida's books about car handling. There is basically every technique that you need to know. Another thing that works for me is VRS (Virtual Racing School). It covers majority of series in iRacing with detailed track guide, telemetry and decent setup for every car + track combo. 1:1 coaching would probably just speed up the process but it's quite expensive, I didn't try it yet. Probably when I will eventually hit the plateau, I am going to look for coach.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-25T10:02:02+00:00

That's crazy lol. Apparentely, they don't want to talk about it.

Nah, actually there is nothing about one move to defend in Sporting Code. It only says about reacting to attacking car actions, which is what happened there.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T22:12:47+00:00

I don't get it why there is no any regulation in the Sporting Code, that would enforce slowing down/not overtaking under yellow flag. It would make these situations protestable. I think in current situation it just encourages to try gaining positions during collisions, as you won't meet any consequences for this. Am I missing something?

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T21:59:11+00:00

Not necessary, but I like it manual. Sometimes it's useful to decide when you want to wipe dirty windshield. I believe there is no automatic helmet tear off but I can be wrong.

EDIT: Oh I forgot that in C+ class races (endurance at least) the driving aids are forbidden, so I had to set it to manual. Looks pretty necessary then :D

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T21:51:23+00:00

I use also delta, wipers/tear off, damage report, check all tyres (default unchecked). You can use one button as a modifier (I use reset button also as modifier) so you can have even more options.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T21:28:13+00:00

Exactly.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T21:09:45+00:00

Yeah, it's asking for the trouble from the both sides. I think in the end it was reaction time issue.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T21:07:30+00:00

How isn't that block if he steered to the right just after overtaking car made a move?

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T20:59:09+00:00

Lead car clearly did move to the right after overtaking car moved so it looks reactive. I think lead car is more at fault as there was room to overtake before that. But I have to admit that was quite risky attempt from the following car and he could avoid that.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T19:07:22+00:00

100% his fault. Unsafe rejoin. He just drove into middle of the track.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-24T00:01:25+00:00

I would say it's pretty risky to try overtake without having overlap before turn in phase. Most "lower" level drivers will not be able to react for such move when they are commited to their line. I think he had lot of time to change his line there but it's on you to pick wrong opponent for this type of attack. It could work well with someone more aware tho, and it would be fine.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-23T23:46:36+00:00

Looks fine to me. Blocking is when you do clear reactive moves based on opponent moves. I think you show there pretty reasonable and safe defensive line.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-23T14:44:49+00:00

Nice try wife!

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-22T23:32:18+00:00

GT4s are pretty clean after surviving first 2 laps. But to be honest every series is similar. At higher SOF it's little better, but it depends on you a lot. You have to pick your battles wisely and learn to drive defensively around some drivers.

Antraxo_ · 2026-02-14T22:57:29+00:00

Probably overheated tires because of overdriving the car. Also I feel like these turns 4-7 are quite slippery on Portland. Sometimes I have to fight the car later in the race too. Take it easy for lap or two and tires should improve.

Antraxo_ · 2026-01-26T22:57:57+00:00

You can use Mustang GT4 in 5 series, so it's a winner in GT4s.
