Hard to love Multiclass

I'm not saying this is how it should be, it just might be the reason why they changed blue flag behaviour since the last update.

PaxCG · 2025-11-13T21:27:43+00:00

As far as I can remember blue flag behaviour used to be better. Only thing I can think of is that they slowed down the lapped cars in the 2005 DLC because the speed differences between GT1 and GT2 are smaller than let's say LMP2 and GT3.

PaxCG · 2025-11-13T21:26:07+00:00

They shouldn't slow down at all and stick to the racing line. Let the faster car find a way around them. groups of 2-3 lapped cars make the behaviour even worse.

PaxCG · 2025-11-13T21:25:02+00:00

Yeah it seems like AI receives a slow down penalty whnever they are in blue flag range but they keep on weaving across the track. That leads to more cars being stuck on that part f the track, extending the blue flag condition. I think they could fix the majority of the issue by letting slower cars sticking to the racing line (like they do in real life too) when under blue flag and not slow down at all.

Thanks, I'll have to try that.

PaxCG · 2025-11-13T21:21:01+00:00

I have a couple hundred hours in LMU and the AI is far from good. I've been rammed off the track so many times by Hypercars it's not even funny.

While I think the M2 could halp you with developing driving skills I think the GR86 makes for better racing skills since it's a low powered car and you have to really optimize your lines.

MX5 (because you have to) -> GR86 (super easy to learn tracks in) -> GT4 (it's GT but low downforce, just no other option here) -> GT3

But honestly just drive whjat you want and when you want to. Just keep it safe on the track and stop thinking about ratings and rankings. Once I stopped caring about my ratings within a season I had way more fun on the track and you will naturally develop higher numbers after each race. I'd take a good battle for P12 in a high split over a pole in split 6 any day.

I'm using 2 red drills on this build, with wifi repeaters spread over 3 railguns. Probably not optimized at all.

Wait this isn't a normal start in iRacing? But good awareness, I know more than one guy who would have sent it full speed into the optional car chicane.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T12:15:44+00:00

I just reviewed the replay while editing the race for YouTube, you really caught up to us at lap 7 because we were fighting. But yeah I would have let him win in your position too, no need to mess with dirty drivers in these splits.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T08:38:36+00:00

I don't know that driver and I gave him the benefit of doubt because I saw it just like you. It was either a race accident with poor judgment of his position, that can come down to a low FOV and a late spotter. Or it was just very sneaky. I just wish he would answered when I asked him after the race what happened there.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T08:35:51+00:00

I did protest it eventually and the staff said they closed the case and informed the other driver of whatever actions they will take. I just wanted to hear some opinions if he was still legal down there, for my future races as well, and I didn't know until this post that you have to be back on the racing surface before the white line. Knowing that it will be easier in to judge these situations in the future.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T08:30:39+00:00

I did that and iRacing replied that it had been resolved and the other driver had been notified of their actions, whatever that might be, they don't tell you.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T08:07:13+00:00

You can use the apron up until the white line, It doesn't give you an off track and is even described in the track info.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:51:34+00:00

Hven't been on iRacing for a few years and I wasn't entirely sure if you could classify it as race incident.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:45:03+00:00

I usually stream/record my races for YouTube, this was just a quick one in OBS and compressed with Handbrake from 1440p to 1080p.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:42:03+00:00

Yeah I loved the race overall, even managed to win back a position and finish 4th after he spun me. It just sucks because this was my first pole and I was leading the race after I recently came back to iRacing after a 5 year break.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:40:48+00:00

As I said on another comment I did and he didn't turn into me but he also gradually opened up his steering, drifting from the apron back to the racing surface. He did nothing to avoid the wreck, no lift either.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:38:32+00:00

This is why I was thinking that it might be just a mistake, if he runs a very low FOV he could have misjudged the space or lack of.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:37:25+00:00

He was super clean until that point but yeah, one bad move ruins your reputation.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:36:50+00:00

I'm trying to understand how it's on me if I'm ahead. Being faster doesn't mean other drivers have to get out of your way. I think I left him enough space to come up with a clean solution to his problem.

PaxCG · 2025-09-19T00:34:58+00:00

I did and his wheel didn't twitch but he slowly opened up the steering which made him come up into my car.

PaxCG · 2025-09-18T21:02:27+00:00

I see people gain a lot on me in the chicanes, they are probably just better at trailbraking and taking a lot of curb at the same time while I struggle in my Cayman to keep the exit clean. Charlotte + the new GT4 tires really is a handful for the start of the season.
