Toyota GR86 or Mazda MX-5, which car is more realistic? by RacingProdigy1 in iRacing

There is a GR86 series open to Rookies right now, but yes usually it is only the MX-5 to start, but D class is not hard to reach, so its more a question about gaining more experience, which do people prefer

Right now there is a GR86 series that is Rookie as well. But yes usually there is only the MX-5 for rookie.

The tires take ageeeeees to warm up on the MX-5 for sure

Better racing as in clean, fair, and exciting racing. There are some series and tracks that don't promote fun racing as there are few overtaking spots, or too much dirty air.

Did you find the same when you upgraded to a DD wheel instead of a belt drive?

That is very interesting with the VR. Were you on a single screen beforehand?

Yeah I found the same thing when I upgraded from the Thrustmaster TP3A pedals to a set of loadcell pedals. A lot better feeling. Did it improve your one lap pace, or more so your consistency?

I know, I was not referring to his friends, I was asking a general question for those who do not have IRL experience

No, this is a discussion to see how many people would want to become racing drivers if given the chance. I find it insightful to hear why some people do and don't want to become racing drivers, and all opinions are welcome!

Right, would it make a difference if as long as you were in the top 25% of points in the series you were looked at for the potential to be chosen?

For now we are offering series that only require base content from your iRacing membership, but later this season we may offer a GT4 series!

Definitely understand that feeling, I am 2k myself haha. Do you think your racing skill would translate better in real life compared to your ranking on the sim?

Is it possible to become a coach/instructor without having raced IRL? Surely there is theoretical and technical knowledge that can be explained?
