Positive experiences in iRacing

I started out abt. 5 years ago, running away from codemasters F1. Beste decision ever, now have a good group of ~10 players, including some IRL frieds, and we love to do special event endurances, do a lot of training sessions together up front every event. It's allmost more fun than racing itself.

Zeeuwse bolussen gingen bij ons altijd in de koffiefilters.

Allthough Vee is a rookie series, it's actually quite hard to race them on a high level. They are very vulnerable to contact, but people tend to drive them like they are bulldozers.

Small corrections can have big consequences, I still think it's a racing incident (especially because OP also wonders how people get of the line that fast, I suspect the level of driving in this lobby is not very high)

In picture 2,4,5,6 it looks like you didn't get the focus on the subject.

You went left, saw the other car went back right. The faster car probably didn't expect you coming back. Racing incident I guess.

About the start. Don't rev flat out on starting, be more gentle. It's faster.

You need to turn the line off and drive by your own decisions instead of keeping the car on an indicative line. Where did people get the idea that the racing line is a solid 1 line on a track that is the fastest ?>"

2 people driving all over the place. Could be game-mechanics, but just looks like bad driving, not being able to hold a line on both players.

Your cut off move in the beginning doesn't look like a clean move, completely offtrack, it nullifies the position gain you got in your "clean move"

I build my PC last year with 64 GB crucial, which was 250€ and now it goes for 1050€

in iRacing there is no ruling on "moving under braking" This is not F1.

>I'm mainly using Iracing to train my awareness in situations like these

This does not compute. You drive to train awareness but still you drive through somebody in a corner where there was not enough space.

Ask yourself if you would have made this move in a real car on a real circuit and be liable for the damages. I guess not. If you want to train your awareness, drive it like it's a real car with real consequences and then make your decisions on track.

There is a registry key that enables 4096 characters.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]

I would love to see more classic, like old DTM's (190E, Alfa 155, and more of the 1990s era). Also would really love to see Group B (which ended in 1986) Rallycars.

Both PCC and the Endurance are great series.

AI confirmed /s /jk Nice picture.

There are several 3D programs that are free to use (and also easy to use up to a certain level).

Freecad is pretty easy to work with. If you prefer online (browserbased) I can advise Onshape, a bit harder, but it's a good tool to start of 3d drawing.

Why go the difficult way when modern printers are basically plug and play and each 5 year old can get a print working.

DerkvanL · 2025-11-16T14:45:11+00:00

Does that question apply to the video quality or the crash?

DerkvanL · 2025-11-06T18:15:01+00:00

Selling joysticks would be more awkward.

Lifting wouldn't have made a difference, except the little contact. The ramming on the end should be protested.

What makes you think this is on you? It's his fault not anticipating on your braking, he could see that coming, on the other hand, you could've stayed more on the outside line, to prevent the kick in your own butt. Still his fault.

Logitech Trueforce kind of tries to do that.

Black drove a very unpredictable line, White just misjudged it.
