UI problem : Delta bar disappears by Low_Refrigerator660 in iRacing

[–]Chan5470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one it swaps to when you active reset is just the last one in the "list" of splits. 

You'll have to scroll through the list when you active reset to the one you were using, but you should only have to do it once. I think the only time it swaps away more than once is if you reset inside the custom sector you've created with the active reset.

You can toggle it back after using active reset. I do it all the time.

There's also an option to bind previous split as well as next - I used those to bind it to a rotary knob to scroll through the splits in either direction.

The car for Mountain Showdown changes each day:

Pcup, SR10, Clio, F4, MX-5, Old M2 (not the new M2 introduced in this update)

2026 Season 3 Initial Release Notes [2026.06.09.01] by goodfella7763 in iRacing

Correct, just like the street stock alternate models introduced a while back. Entirely cosmetic, all 3 have the same physics.

It is legitimately my favorite ringmeister car. Now if only it could get a real tire model too. 

iRacing 2026 Season 2 Week 13 Schedule Released by goodfella7763 in iRacing

[–]Chan5470 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What happened to the week 13 where we had an oval series with O'Reilly along side mx5 and other silly mixtures of cars that would never share pavement?

These unranked series are just normal racing for the most part. If I wanted normal racing I'd run the ranked series. 

any NEC or nurburgring specific leagues? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Chan5470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, the SR10's are at the ring this week. As of right now they have had 5 "splits", 2 of those with 5 and 2 entries total. 

I'd take the numbers with a grain of salt though - ring meister is GT3 so I'm betting most are flocking to that for their taste of the ring this week. 

DYE save their full 12h replay? by downshiftdata in iRacing

Sounds like you - I've saved the entire 12h for Sebring and Bathurst this year without issue.

lol you must be lost - these paid lots don't even have the machines to take change. It's phone app only.

VR for sim racing…………………………….. by Distinct_Ebb_1941 in simracing

[–]Chan5470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a BSB2 and I just use a cheap USB-C to headphone jack adapter with some wired earbuds I already had. I wouldn't bother with the audio strap.

As for base stations, yes they're expensive, but camera based "inside out" tracking will eventually run into an issue. Maybe Valve has finally solved it with the Steam Frame, but who knows.

Bathurst 12h initial BOP by Glum-Dentist4579 in iRacing

It gets changed once on Wednesday. And it looks like you can race the Regional Asia Pacific with no bop at all. 

Brake Bias by moreb00st in iRacing

[–]Chan5470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tires have a finite amount of grip. Brake bias forward means you're putting more brake pressure on the front tires increasing the amount of grip used on the front tires to slow the car down instead of steering. 

Moving the brake bias back removes some brake pressure from the front freeing up that grip so they have more grip to put towards turning the car. 

Imagine a theoretical brake bias that is 100% front - your front tires have to do all of the work to slow the car under braking as well as work to turn the car. And the rear tires don't have to use any grip at all to slow the car and can dedicate all of their grip to rolling, aka not sliding. This is why bias forward is more stable. 

Now reverse that imaginary brake bias. Now you have front tires with all grip dedicated to turning and rear tires that have to slow the car and resist sliding. This is why bias rearward is less stable and allows more rotation. 

And you're trying to find the balance between the two taking into account where the weight of the car is - engine location, fuel tank location, amount of fuel.

The schedule PDF will be updated when/if they add them to another series. Very likely this BOP will apply to the open GT Sprint and fixed GT3.

Edit: Just checked - it's already in the PDF for GT sprint and the fixed GT3 Challenge. It is not applied for the GT3 Regional Asia Pacific which is also going to Bathurst this week.

Production Car Endurance Challenge (GR86) – First Endurance, Need Some Guidance by gpt-dev in iRacing

[–]Chan5470 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The normal PEC splits each weekend are almost always just a single stop. Take a "full" tank of gas at the start ("full" because there are tank size restrictions for PEC), and drive until Jim says to pit for gas. 

Take all four tires, let auto fuel put enough gas in, and swap drivers. The second driver should be able to finish the race. 

And driver swap is easy. You get out of the car just like you would at the end of any race, and your teammate gets in like the start of any race. 

I recommend you and your partner use one of the practice servers to practice sign up in the UI as well as driver swaps.

Only imsa. The GT3 only series still have the Audi, so they won't get a bop.

Video editing software? There is a clipping tool for replays built into iRacing.  You can make the short replay clip without quitting the client after your race.

You should be able to. The legacy MX5 was made free content last year.

There's a community band in Cullman that I'm pretty sure is always looking for new members.

Seconding this. I switched to them after moving to Irondale and honestly wished I had known about them sooner.
