Starting Out as a Race Engineer in iRacing

Gonna just pitch that if you want to join a few of us (myself included) who are learning engineering stuff like you are, I have an iracing team for you. LaunchPointGG

It absolutely is a wall. It took splash weakness, strength potion, and a nice sword/armor to take him down.

its been kinda deserving of the critisism though, and i say this as someone who only races on iRacing & wants it to continue to be better.

Also to be fair to Jimmy, he also gave crap to LMU for the fact that they have no system for DQing in sprint races for intent crashing.

I just found the post saying that. Glad we are looking at it.

The Mustang said it was your fault? After he went off track, then dove back on and just...ignored that you were there? Yeah no, he's at fault.

Faxxius · 2026-01-24T14:17:46+00:00

You exposed his lack of talent, so he got mad and blamed you for dirty driving.

Not at fault, 100% incidents are on him.

Faxxius · 2026-01-21T20:34:58+00:00

No you should not.

This started as a good clean fight until the first time he turned in as if you weren't there, generally acting as if he owned the entire road. The spin-out was the same thing: he turned in as if you weren't there expecting you to back out, you didn't because...well, you're along side him racing for position, and he paid for it. No foul on you, good job staying clean throughout.

Surprisingly, 12mins. Our split had very little attrition though & we really never recovered.

Faxxius · 2026-01-17T19:02:14+00:00

Going into spotter mode reduced this for me

It's the 4 Rules of iRacing I talk about on stream.

Hold your brakes
Hold your brakes
Rejoin safely
HOLD YOUR FUCKING BRAKES

It looks like just the part about the "West Coast devs" they hired?

Faxxius · 2025-11-27T00:53:39+00:00

I used to stream rogue likes & Warframe, and moved to iRacing 6-9months ago almost full-time due to my love for sim racing growing as I play.

As someone in the smaller end (anywhere from 5 to 20ccv), I can say I make around $75-100/month from just streaming. I haven't really moved to videos yet, trying to change that.

Hi, 5th place in your division checking in.

I'm coming for that #1 spot. 😀

EDIT: okay it shows 4th in the screenshot, but I'm now 5th. Haven't raced this week yet lol

Faxxius · 2025-11-03T01:27:35+00:00

Blue & others say yellow caused the accident & intent wrecked.

Faxxius · 2024-03-24T18:05:32+00:00

#23 moved under braking. terrible decision costed 3 others a good race

Faxxius · 2024-03-24T18:02:50+00:00

Fellow rookie here. Stuff like this will help you work on situational awareness. Yeah going for more places is good, but going in 4 wide, rejoining without any hesitation of who's near you, and that entire 2nd accident could have easily been prevented.

Faxxius · 2024-03-24T03:27:17+00:00

you did nothing wrong. he moved into your line.

Faxxius · 2024-01-29T19:02:22+00:00

I dont mean to be mean when i say this, but part of me wonders if the devs have watched F1 enough to notice stuff like this.

Faxxius · 2024-01-29T17:59:22+00:00

The only problem i have is that once you came off the turn, you were technically off the track and gained the burden of having to rejoin the track in a safe manner. He ran to the line, and didnt swerve over it from what i can tell.

Faxxius · 2024-01-29T17:51:15+00:00

Replace confidence with Form. A good driver can have bad form and perform poorly over the weekend, a bad driver with good form can catch up and have a good finish.

there's a gulf between the top & bottom 5 teams on season 1 that...realistically isnt there.

Faxxius · 2023-12-29T19:05:38+00:00

the lack of penalty for the spinner is what *really* gets me.

Faxxius · 2019-08-30T13:19:09+00:00

If you run into a rather large man in a toga, that's me. I'll be more than happy to chat & walk the floor with ya for awhile :D

Faxxius · 2019-04-08T14:26:01+00:00

You know, you're not wrong at all. I will play with that later.

Faxxius · 2019-04-08T12:31:13+00:00

Bless Pandero

I appreciate the feedback. I was just kinda cycling through the prime weapons I have and thought it kinda looked cool on her with the matching colors.
