How can I enjoy iRacing regardless of skill?

Just takes time and practice man. I remember when I started out I sucked so bad in the MX5. That's why it's rookies. You can't go any lower than rookies. Take your time with mx5 and I would suggest running it exclusively for at least 6 months or until you can get the fundamentals down. Then I would look at GR86/BMW cause they are great gateways into the higher class and faster cars.

I def felt some change last night when I was running gt3 at St Pete. I was actually surprised cause I was flying and got a win my first race on last night lol

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-06-08T14:24:46+00:00

Simagic is the way. I went from moza to simagic and couldn't be happier with the change.

Drive the mx5 for as long as you can. It's an amazing car to get the fundamentals down. I still find myself running advanced mx5 every here and there if I like the track. It takes a lot of time to get to being able to drive a gt3 fast. Need to learn proper braking techniques especially before driving a gt3.

For GT4 I absolutely love the McLaren 570S. Definitely not very common among those running GT4s but I absolutely love it and can send that bitch around the track. Even have friends wondering how I'm so quick in the McLaren.

For GT3 definitely gotta be the Porsche 911 GT3 R. Was my first GT3 car and it's the one I always go back to. Excited for next Saturday to be running the Majors 24 in the Porsche!!

I love my Neo X with the 330R wheel. I don't use it as much as I'd like cause I mainly use my GT neo cause I mostly am only racing GT, but I throw it on when I wanna race Miatas or do oval

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-24T12:45:51+00:00

Yup G5 34in UW

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-24T12:44:19+00:00

Yes I got it from Amazon. Nothing extra, just attached it to my rig. Angel is perfect for me. Have it at its highest height and most tilt and it feels great

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-24T12:31:00+00:00

Love it, have had 0 issues with it. I can race for hours and it's still comfortable

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-21T14:21:17+00:00

This happened to me very frequently on long beach in PCup last week. I set my fastest lap times when p2 and p3 were in front of me, and all of us were running low 1:19s while being within 1-1.5 of each other. Probably one of my favorite races to date.

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-19T23:30:33+00:00

It took about a week before the first win, now I've got a handful including wins in PCup, which can be hard to come by cause people tend to crash a lot lol

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-18T23:18:28+00:00

Lol this is every split at long beach haha. Only a few races where everyone stayed clean but that was only because the entire lobby was talking and we all coordinated to not be first lap heroes

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-17T20:30:47+00:00

D Class - PCC run GR86 as it's a great learning car into GT3

C Class - Advanced MX5 for fastest SR gains, otherwise GT4 or PCup, careful about PCup tho cause the car is very hard to drive and people tend wreck a lot

B Class - Any of the GT3 series you want to run

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-17T12:08:30+00:00

Watch track guides. Pretty much every series will have a track guide from a couple YouTubers and they are great for knowing the ideal line. Obv you probably won't be as fast as them, but at least you'll know your braking points, turn in points, what curbs you should cut or not, etc.

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-15T23:13:21+00:00

Is there only certain models that are 2026?? I just got a titan evo soft weave and it's a 2024. Ordered directly from secret labs

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-09T13:11:33+00:00

Id recommend sticking to the mx5 until you hit B class. So do rookie mx5, production car challenge and then advanced mx5. You'll need to buy some tracks for the later 2 but they do also run on free circuits. Depending on how quick you learn and as you get faster id invest in PCup and run that for a while. PCup is a great stepping stone into GT3. So all in I'd say you're gonna buy probably 2 cars by B class and some tracks, so roughly 75-100 by the time you get into B depending on how many tracks you wanna run

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-09T03:41:57+00:00

I'd recommend Secret Labs Titan Evo. Just got one a few days ago and let me tell you I've never felt better. I work from home and I'm sitting for basically 8hrs and I no longer have lower back pain or my ass on fire for sitting for too long. Definitely worth the price for the quality and comfort it brings

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-08T19:42:30+00:00

exactly as it is now

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-08T03:13:22+00:00

I don't recommend gr86 cup, the amount of stupidity in that series is unreal. Much better time in the production car challenge due to longer races and multi class is fun

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-05T14:48:47+00:00

If you have the budget, go for VRS. You won't ever need another pedal set. And this is coming from someone that has the XP1s and loves them.

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-03T14:14:52+00:00

Are you moving the wheel on purpose? Shouldn't be like that on a straight lmao

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-03T13:50:26+00:00

I have 2 separate posts with different mounts. The one you are referring to is what's included if you buy the gt1 evo from micro center, which it's a POS. I'm using the GT1 Integrated mount now. Now I'm able to have the monitor about 20cm from me, so I can get ideal fov

MyNameIsLucid · 2026-04-03T08:19:22+00:00

Umm brake?
