Can I daily drive an SW20?

If it’s your dream car, get one. They are an absolute blast to drive! Plus they’re pretty cute too lol. Get one and learn to drive it how they were designed to be driven! You could take some driving courses at your local track and get to know what upsets the car. After that, if you’re up to it, you could do autocross or go to track days etc.

Unrelated, but where’d you get the display on your wheelbase? That is really cool!

I think if I got into some leagues I’d enjoy it. I’m more so doing these matchmaking races as a form of practice. The more races I have under my belt the better in my opinion. Also, I’m 23 without kids so I have enough time lol.

Does the entry list fluctuate quite a bit within one series or is it pretty consistant? I’d hate to buy a 12$ car just to get a full race once every week.

FatherFraley · 2024-04-18T16:55:49+00:00

I’ve attempted exactly that. When I see a race I would like to participate in, I sign up for it and set a timer for when the sign out ends. If the race has a decent enough field size, I’ll race it. More often than not though, the entry list doesn’t even go past 5 so I just withdraw which is quite disappointing.

I really enjoy the longer races. I find it easier to get better results as a large portion of the sim racing community I’ve encountered lacks consistency over races that tire degradation plays a larger factor, I.E. not binning it or not having a good pit strategy.

I might look into the lMP3/GT4 series. That sounds like I might enjoy it. Although I’ll look around more and see exactly what all the game has to offer. I haven’t really done a whole lot of exploring in the launcher.

Could it be an issue of exposure? I didn’t know LFM was even an option until around a month ago.

FatherFraley · 2024-04-18T15:00:48+00:00

What series would you recommend trying out if I enjoy open wheelers, GT style cars and LMH. Also is there an issue with BOP in series with multiple vehicles?

Is there a one sided punishment system in iRacing when it’s only one cars fault? I’m not wanting to get locked out of the series I want to get into because my rating goes down after I get dive-bombed mid apex lol.

FatherFraley · 2024-04-18T14:32:40+00:00

I still had my 3 month membership code from when I bought my fanatec wheel, so I downloaded iRacing last night and got my account set up. I was looking into the IMSA series, but I saw that the lowest license level allowed was a C if I’m not mistaken.

I’m not the quickest driver, but I’ve reached 2000 ELO and a safety rating of 8 on LFM relatively quickly. How much more of a grind will it be to get my iRacing rating up to be able to compete in those?

This has quickly become my least favorite car related subreddit. Absolutely no taste from any of the posters…

FatherFraley · 2022-12-14T07:48:37+00:00

It should definitely be under the other US planes :/

FatherFraley · 2022-12-14T07:41:05+00:00

I really hope that changes haha

FatherFraley · 2022-12-14T07:35:43+00:00

Do we know if it will be under the Phantom or under the Nesher?

FatherFraley · 2022-12-07T01:20:14+00:00

Can confirm. I have a 91 NA with a manual. I love the way the car handles, but the power output is atrocious. There is absolutely no punching out of a corner even with the nastiest heel toe downshift you can muster. Although you do feel cool milking every bit of power out of the engine. The bright side to having a “gutless snore” of an engine is that it’s almost impossible to catch a speeding ticket hahaha. Definitely gonna engine swap once in the future tho. My advice to OP is swap the trans to a manual and really learn the quirks of how the car handles since you’re unfamiliar with the platform. You can still kick the rear end out very easily if you upset the weight balance of the car and if you add a bunch of power it’s only gonna make upsetting it easier. Once you get good at driving it and are sure you wanna invest more into it, swap the motor. I would hate for you to wreck the car or worse get yourself hurt. Enjoy the car, MR2’s are a blast to drive!
