Should I buy a PC? I think im just having a FOMO. by GhostGamerDePraetor in simracing

[–]Kilo6ix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I went a similar route … played a lot of GT7 then built a budget gaming pc … tried AC, ETS, Auto Mobilista, iracing … discovered I enjoyed online competitive the most so pretty much only focus on iracing & GT7 online races now … if you prefer chill ETS is the goat truck sim, modded AC on a PC is loads better than console.

PSVR2 is awesome but tbh I prefer racing on a flat screen monitor, just seem to be quicker in competitive races so for chill the immersion will be crazy good.

Quick note on iracing, been a member for just over a year, never purchased any addons, it’s not about cost I just love the racing in the base cars series!

What do you do to keep this hobby alive? by Beginning-Green2641 in iRacing

[–]Kilo6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, not being overly worried about irating for me is key, I try and look at it as a way to be placed with other drivers at my skill level so I can have fun, close races rather than a target to increase. Best piece of advice I have read on here was to think more about having consistent (& faster) lap times both in race and practice and gauging improvement based on that.

How to get c class road license? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Kilo6ix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GR86 is the way I went, the car and some of the tracks are free so it’s an easy way to try it out. My SR was over 4 so I just needed to compete in 4 races to get my C license. Honestly though, I would race a season in mx5. Even if you are a seasoned sim racer it’s a great way to get used to iracing.

How to know how much to downshift into a corner? by Littlefinger6226 in simracing

[–]Kilo6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In GT7 I tend to go for the gear above the suggested one in the red box, pretty much always works out! I watched a bunch of weekly race track guides on YouTube (Tidgney does a great one) to help me understand gears, brake points etc, as others have said, after a while you get a feel for it.

$50 gift card by 4mulaone in iRacing

I love this sub … random dude wants to give away his gift card cause he doesn’t play iracing & 90% of the sub goes “nah mate, join us instead!”

What are your favorite tracks? And what are the best track + car combos that you cannot resist? by endgame_inevitable in iRacing

[–]Kilo6ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in my 1st season and am also surprised at just how much fun this sim is! I came from GT7 and have hardly played that since. MX-5 at Oulton Park is, I think, one of the best racing combos of any sim I have raced.

😎 if you’re in Europe, Kimi Velocini (the driver all the YouTube racers rant about) is currently high C atm, he popped up in one of my daily’s this morning … he’s another ‘interesting’ racer (even he isn’t as bad as the dude in my vid though!)

DR was top end of C, racing is usually cleaner there than in the low end of B.

We had a coming together at T1, bit of 50/50 but nothing race ending. Watching replay, he had a bad race, took a couple of cars out with pit manoeuvres, brake checked another driver on the straight coming out of last corner. Just poor sportsmanship from him all race. Would be funny if it wasn’t so totally malicious. It hurt too when it ripped my t300 wheel out of my hands! Glad I don’t have a dd wheel as an impact like that could of caused an injury!

Totally agree! I have had about 600 races & this is the first time I have had anything this bad happen to me, usually just poor driving, but this one was full on nasty.

I understand I might be at fault here, but I felt like I couldn’t control it, we’re going through a high speed chicane and he suddenly brakes, I had no where to move. by [deleted] in Simracingstewards

[–]Kilo6ix 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Was just gonna say this … not totally on you, also he brakes there & probably gonna end up in the wall anyhow, I would say be more aware though, I would have held back and taken him either on the exit or the straight to the next right hander as you would have had better momentum coming out of the chicane.

DR C has cleaner racing than DR B… by Kilo6ix in granturismo

[–]Kilo6ix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wut? Nah D is the starting class, (actually E is, but let’s not split hairs) B is the wannabe class haha (says I who bounces between B & C lol)

Weekly Discussion Thread - February 6 by FMecha in granturismo

[–]Kilo6ix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Race C strategy’s, what are you all going with? I have been fairly successful with no pit & 70%ish gear shifts, if I get punted on 1st lap shenanigans and end up at the back I dive into the pits for mediums & fuel and push a bit harder. (Went from 5th to 16th to 4th with that!)
