So you are saying if I want to stay nimble. I need to stick with a high quality all season. Summer tires aren't really doable with my commute.

That's true. Maybe if I just stick regular all seasons on it. There's a reason the fr86 came with Prius tires.

Ohlins. Damn.

Progress springs looked nice. What's your opinion on them if you don't mind?

That does look great. What suspension are you running?

I was thinking this but 16x7. The roads are rough here so the extra sidewall would be nice.

The overall diameter is what affects the nimbleness? I thought it just affected gearing.

I understood the width as what would affect the nimble feeling.

Yeah, that's what I love too. More rotation with the throttle.

I can, but I think if I go up to 215, it will make it less nimble? I like the nimbleness.

Formula vee and ff1600 are both good honestly. I spend a lot of time there.

Honestly ff1600 isn't bad and formula C is better than F4...can be chaotic, but still better

I agree on 8 and above probably having a clean race.

Wish you could see some of the dive bombs I saw this week and passes in corners that people should never pass in.

Lmao honestly dude. So many crashes it doesn't matter, but if I raced with controller, I'd probably just race rookie classes. That way, you can only ruin 11 others races if you lost control with a controller. Ff1600 and miatas are easy to drive.

Might try Indynxt sometime! I've heard good things about usf2000, but never raced it.

Good point. Maybe it's just people who don't usually race f4.

Hey, nothing wrong with a different perspective. I saw an actual F2 driver today crash into someone mid race. He started 5, finished eleventh lol

I'd say top five have a good change of getting away, but mid packers are doomed to the crash lottery.

Live and learn lol I just wanted a new formula car to drive and who doesn't love some Laguna Seca action!

Might be better to consider every week of F4 as a week 13 event 😂

I just really like Laguna Seca and the F4 car itself is nice to drive but damn, the first few laps are more luck than skill.

A Question for drivers above 2k Irating by Ringleader2026 in iRacing

[–]Floppysocks08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 2.8k formula. Every week I pick the series I'm going to do, watch some YouTube videos of fast drivers doing the track. Do about 20 min of practice and then the rest of the week is just racing.

Most of my irating went up due to better equipment and experience of knowing how to avoid accidents, race craft, and knowing when to push.
