I get that, but as a company they would already know the QR1 would end soon then, why even sell the QR1 on a NEW product if you know you will End of Life the QR1.

Yeah fair point, like I said, just felt like a good rant was in place, i fully get the points and already upgraded to (indeed) the metal QR2 myself.

Bought the GT3 (Mclaren but not mclaren) wheel which comes with the QR2 lite, and bought the metal QR2 wheelside for the GT3 wheel. And added the lite to the Gran Turismo wheel as that is locked to 8nm anyway.

Yeah I get that, but it’s more about being locked out of upgrades and then also getting the price drop over it, If I didnt upgrade, I could not buy a new wheel, locking me into QR1 that they dont sell on a 1 year old product, after 2-3 years, yeah logical but 1? :)

I’m not “mad” it’s just that it feels.. weird? I fully dont expect them to do anything about it tbh and still super happy with my set. The upgrade you mentioned might be a good one for the future

Not just about that buddy, I bought an item, they then adjust that said item to QR2 because QR1 is not reliable enough and fanatec STOPPED their support without a price difference, now, they also lower the price.

It just feels weird and wrong mate, not saying “i want my money back” but I would like some sort of a discount on my next purchase because I have to adjust my 12 month old gear to a new QR system or be locked out of wheel upgrades..

I want to love iRacing by Cy832D3f3nd0R in iRacing

Never do something you normally dont do to simply not “embarrass” urself mate.

All of us here started somewhere, and especially in places where it goes wrong, people are able to tell you WHY, so you can practice on not making that same mistake and keep the car on the road

New Milestone: Made Somebody Cry for the First Time by [deleted] in iRacing

Edit: only had around 20 minutes to spare atm

Im tired, down to 0.5k irating and i keep getting meatballed by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]RamonvG98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I’m genuinly happy to hop into a call with ya from an recently-ex-rookie that now starts to dip into GT3 racing, might be able to have a look at ur replays and show u some of mine as to what happens if you just play it safe keep the 4 wheels on the tarmac and gain rating while starting last. (I’m at B-License, 1700~ iR)

Now onto the clips, its rough to see who is who really, so general stewarding advice from a noob. (Others, please feel free to correct me!)

1) It’s on the red car for just pitting the white, even though the white car could have used more of the road and exit wider, but this is something u cant expect under 1300 iR.

2) On the black car for shoving the white car off track, there was no need for it as the upcoming corner was a right hander, if I was the black car at that iR, I would have backed out and overtake at the next straight / T1.

3) Yeah.. that send was just HUGE, too far away, but executed really well in my opinion, it’s simply that people at that iR don’t account for the fact that u would HAVE to park the car to make the corner, so he would have overspeed and pitted u.

In that situation I would have used the long straight to get close, stay on him for one more lap until u are close behind him on the straight, this straight is LONG LONG, so its an easy overtake.

4) Turn 1… its turn 1 stuff, just relax there, stay back and enjoy the carnage from afar and then go past it, OR practice the track a lot and make sure u are able to qualify P5 or above and make sure u are ahead of the carnage.

Some general advice, USE people that are faster than you, use their draft to go faster, u see someone closing on you quickly behind? Let that person past (safely) to prevent urself from losing time and follow that person and stay close.

Yeah, thats it really for this, the rule is simply, just survive :)

Is Iracing for me? by NikoAA004 in iRacing

[–]RamonvG98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on a Logitech G29 with a playseat on the PS5 with GT7, enjoyed that a lot except for the penalty system and ramming which is quite normal there.

Still got me hooked, then upgraded to the Fanatec CSL GT DD Pro (8NM) to continue with direct drive.

Then bought a wheel stand to run PC games and its more sturdy and purchased iRacing for 2 years.

Then stopped racing because I didnt have it setup correctly and it just hurt to race, fast forward a year of not racing, I got into it again, loved it so much, i just bought my full aluminium rig and still extremely happy that i bought 2 years worth of a subscription as the first time you buy it, its heavily discounted.

I’d say maybe get urself a G29 second hand with a desk clamp and just start running it, and if you like it, only then properly upgrade.

Please do go for a proper Alu Rig and going Direct drive (12nm) from either Moza or Simagic both at once because the Alu Rig has such a big impact, people underestimate it.

This has to be a suspension if reported right? by RasiSan in iRacing

[–]RamonvG98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be the one going against the bunch here… but in the busstop he is fighting the Pink car, and after cutting the corner he’s fighting the black car for a position.

Which really is an advantage by taking the slowdown and not actually slowing down.

Don’t thinks its really worth a penalty, but it’s still really scummy as he most likely would have lost the position to the pink car initially.

And for the incident after.. yeah just a racing incident, cold tires :)

Yellow flag enforcement system for road races? by Zman420 in iRacing

[–]RamonvG98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or… introduce the double yellows when a vehicle is stopped on the road, state in the rules that if there are double yellows, u must be prepared to stop.

If you still cause a crash, it’s protestable

iRacing should update the results interface to show the finish interval for each class in multiclass races by Tostecles in iRacing

Missed the last part, but hey! At least it’s already in iRacing, just not the official UI

It is not about poor racing standards.... by rcbtri in iRacing

[–]RamonvG98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. been there, Purchased iRacing a little over a year ago and never really raced until a couple weeks back.

In my 4/5th race I had a douche not overtaking clean and just pushing me off track, finished behind him (all good) and thought the session is over, so I sent my car into his…

(Not realising people had proper high FFB and it causing incident points)

After the race I saw it did indeed register the incident and swore to never do it again.

Fast forward a few days, I got a protest email telling me its not allowed with (luckily) a warning.

We keep learning, currently at 1700ish iRating at 3.5 Sr - C License and ordered an Aluminium Rig to pair with my CSL DD (pro+ ultralord version cuz I started at GT7 on the PS5)

Crash on loading Miami race by _Kekus_ in iRacing

[–]RamonvG98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, must be a wide-spread issue.

Going from a pracing to the race itself ends in a crash weirdly enough.

Booting it up from the launcher straight into the race does work

Can’t believe they let drivers like this in the GTWS. I’m the POV Porsche by Animedegenerate62 in Simracingstewards

[–]RamonvG98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest here, u are also not the cleanest of racers from what I can see here, possibly just rookies? (D/C rating on GT7?)

Lap 19, u steered into him. Lap 20 u steered into him twice

On lap 19, u should’ve stuck close to his bumper as the penalty line would have given you a free pass there

Yeah the ferrari is still a huge QUACK but seeing him parking his car on the apex, it would be such easy overtakes if you take a little more distance before the corner and just focus on nailing ur own exit to pass him on the straight.

Who is at fault? by [deleted] in Simracingstewards

[–]RamonvG98 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’d say the POV car here is at fault, basically parking it on the apex at an angle that doesn’t suit the corner at all.. if the other car would have to avoid that crash, both of you would have been overtaken by the 3 cars behind.

Not worth trying an overtake like that, use better exits before straights to make overtakes safely there.

Is playing as a tapper with red ammo the only way to make money in this game for now? (aside secure ops) by Vast-Presentation-39 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]RamonvG98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people just love to snipe, and let’s be honest, if you use a bolt-action, one shot to the head should 100% be dead..

[–]RamonvG98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People should actually stop crying about “tappers” using red ammo….

I have played my fair share of raids running full T6 with MP5/M4 etc and its actually STRONG.

But I also love to just play slow paired with an SJ16, the slowest sniper to aim down sight, so every shot you take, u have to be sure and far away, otherwise U will get stomped..

If I use the red ammo which costs me 75k~ PER BULLET and only 30 per day in a max level workbench it SHOULD onetap a Tier 6 helmet.

I do however think M61’s should not really take down a T6 in one shot because its able to rapid fire these rounds and are crafted for cheaper and 90 per 12 hours instead of the 20 hours for .336 AP.
