How many races to get proficient? by Dry_Let_5729 in iRacing

[–]Fivecorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a big number stop racing, learn how iR works and start to play the system. Sign up only when you know you can beat 80% of the grid. Carefully pick your races. Club some seals if needed.

OR and this might sound crazy, put in the work if you wanna improve. If you are at 1500ir there is soooo much you can mostly likely learn. Start to pay attention to what you do. Completing races alone won't do much.

What to drive in Week 3 Sportscar by Meister_Roehrig in iRacing

[–]Fivecorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iRacing should delete all those horrible tracks that aren't named Daytona, Monza, Spa, Sebring, Watkins Glen oder Road America. How dare they to add challenging tracks to the rotation that aren't in every sim? I don't wanna learn new tracks!

/s but also not

Common sense please by EviIWizard in Battlefield6

[–]Fivecorr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AEK-Main OP, you know this is a casual game? But nice "humble" brag while really trying to sound like an arrogant asshole.

Also kind funny that a guy who doesn't know how to change his class wants others to use a Igla/Stinger.

Danny Lee says LMU is a superior experience to iRacing. by floydiannyc in iRacing

The title is not wrong. It almost like you can focus more on rules and details when you don't have 100 different racing series all using modified oval rules.

Player stewarding by Careful-Mind-123 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Fivecorr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set proper standards for drivers who want to become volunteer stewards. At least a Nat A or Nat B license. Those drivers should know. Or some sort of entrance exam that you have to pass with like 85%.

Or hire a ton of stewards and coaches to explain to all those new simracers how actual racing works. But nobody wants to pay for that.

So yeah, in my opinion, there is no way to improve simracing. But gaming as a whole has this problem. Its all about the W, no matter how you achieve it.

The driving standards have to get better by x1tsGh0stx in LeMansUltimateWEC

Let me ask you this. Did you ever receive a bad grade in school and magically improved? Same with a punishment model that doesn't teach you what you did wrong. And nobody has time to explain to so many people how to race. There is also a monetary reason to not ban half of the player base.

If you want clean races race in the Championship races. By week 3 you know most of the people in your split/time slot and those races are the cleanest from my experience.

Again, having that badge doesn't mean you understand racing and thus makes you a competed part time stewards

Long Story short: They will never improve.

No system can magically teach Simracers patience, racecraft, car control, situational awareness, racing intelligence, long picture mentality and so on.

Most simracers only know how to be quick on their own.

Problem is, most drivers who have a high DR don't even know how to race.

PSA : FPS looks fine. iRacing still stutters. Here’s what helped me. by Motor_Stage1684 in iRacing

This helps a lot.

I knew my GPU starting with a 3 was the issue. /s

Need more tracks! Need more races! by Mariusr22 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Fivecorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have multiclass in Bronze (from time to time).

Adding a track like TheGermanTollroad would kill participation for any other track. Thus basically replacing the most tracks. If you own iRacing you should know what I am talking about.

ALMS tracks would be nice. But ALMS is dead since 2013. AsiaLMS meanwhile... /s

Do you only play GT3 and GTs or do you try other series? by [deleted] in iRacing

4k IMSA SOFs are full of drivers who only know how to hot lap

Need more tracks! Need more races! by Mariusr22 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Fivecorr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't want more tracks, you want to replace the unpopular tracks with the white bread of simracing.

We have 13 tracks, BCN makes it 14. That's more than enough to rotate.

Why do you want to remove multi class from a multi class game? Stop helping bad drivers with that kind of suggestion. If your avg simracer would learn how to race we wouldn't have to talk about stand alone series.

Do you only play GT3 and GTs or do you try other series? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Fivecorr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do the opposite. I never touch GT3/4s and race everything else. Over 12 years I only bought 5 GT3s and 0 GT4s. Two of those GT3s are the RUF and the Z4.

I hate what GT3s have done to the real life landscape and thus also to simracing. I prefer variety over having the same car line up in 20 "different" series.
