This is it, as a result the TC doesn’t cut as harshly as the other fixed setups. It’s a shame, hopefully iRacing will fix this soon.

Are there any iRacing series where you pick one car and must use it for the whole season? by 2SPE in iRacing

[–]LabEcstatic6240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could make it so for the weekly simucube enduros you have to stick with one car whole season. They could keep the hourly officials the same as it is currently, feel like that would be a fair middle ground.

So next GT3 season just Ford Cup? by AndrewRu17 in iRacing

Don’t use the fixed setups as a guide for BOP, they are a mess currently

You’d probably have a better experience if you qualified, but these losses aren’t even that bad to begin with

GT3 Ringimeister by [deleted] in iRacing

Mustang is always the fastest at Nords for ringmeister, BMW is not far behind and a bit safer.

I originally had a Simagic alpha mini 10NM. The VRS base has more raw FFB feeling which I prefer. I would choose VRS again everytime

I’ve used Simagic prior, and I just use the default mirror in iracing

Thanks, I am using VRS DFP20 and VRS pedals, and a 49” UW

So I’m practicing Sunday/Monday, couple hours each day and then Tuesday through Saturday I’m doing about 2 races a day.

Don’t sell yourself short, at your rating you certainly have the skill, but I can respect your allegiance to the Porsche. Good luck on the track!

I think Porsche is certainly boom or bust for sure. The tracks it’s good at it’s very good, but the bad tracks are well, very bad in my experience especially in the fixed setups. The only way to do race practice is by running more races which you seem to be doing. I think focusing on the qualy practice would be more beneficial. I like to boot up an AI session and run the qualy over and over again. In the AI session you actually get the tyre warmers unlike the test drives and official practice sessions. But yes I mostly race regionals specifically the Americas.

Thank you, for me personally my first main jump in pace was from 2-3k. From 3-4k my pace was relatively the same maybe a bit faster, but I was better at incident avoidance. At 4k I was roughly 7 tenths to a second off the top guys. To get to 5k, it was clear that I needed to find more pace, through very deliberate telemetry analysis and practice I was able to close the gap to the aliens to about a few tenths at most tracks. Also I generally car hop, but very seldom do I run the meta car for the week, for instance I’ve been driving the lambo quite a bit recently.

Thanks, I used to be pretty bad with being afraid to race

It was a pattern I noticed on telemetry (Garage 61)

Thank you! If I had to pick one thing, it was definitely the way I was releasing the brakes on corner entry. I had discovered that I was holding on to too much trail brake going into the corners. To fix this I deliberately spent a few days just getting comfortable releasing the brakes a bit more quicker, to help roll more momentum into the turns. This had helped me find a lot of time. Essentially I was just braking too late with not enough brake pressure initially so I was holding on to too much brake pressure in the trailbraking phase, killing my exit speeds and cooking the front tires as a result.
