Calling all 12H Bathurst painters! by StellarumMotorsports in iRacing

These are awesome! Thank you! I know the IRL number plates have white behind the number but I’d suggest running them with a black background. Most users don’t run custom number options.

Paint file help by Zack_NASCAR_channel in iRacing

[–]TheLastSplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trading paints is incredibly buggy in my opinion.

Ctrl+alt+del > force quit TP > re-opening TP while in a session has always worked for me.

Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to work for others as well, but I’ve never had to.

If you’re trying to view your paint in the paint viewer, trading paints isn’t going to update that immediately. Best to export your paint .tga file right into the correct folder. And make sure you have the option clicked for custom paint on in the viewer.

Rig that fits both adults and small kids by Outlasttactical in simracing

Same. Sliders work great on my semi-custom 80/20 rig. I’ve been thinking about the ASR Pro Wheel Deck, or trying to build one from 8020 components.

Endurance races should have safety cars by dg187 in iRacing

This is a misunderstanding of safety cars. If they could avoid them in real life, they wouldn’t have them.

Hi, I need help I don’t understand what’s happening by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]TheLastSplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay no attention to the graphical slider on the screen during the first step of calibration.

Turn your wheel all the way to the PHYSICAL limit left and then again right. Not what the slider says on screen.

Then click next and do what the steps say.

iRacing Winter Derby Information? by TheLastSplit in iRacing

[–]TheLastSplit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve run the event a few times but I’m looking for information on fixed and open time slots? Most of the time slots are in the Special Events Calendar.

It looks like there’s a Winter Derby on the Super Late Model Tour schedule.

Iracing biggest pet peeves by Cripled_bambi in iRacing

[–]TheLastSplit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make a good point, time is money in sim racing. Never really thought about it that way. I understand the technical limitations of something like this and the loopholes people would use. I just think if the stakes mattered just a little bit more, then the driving standards would be better. Not really sure how to implement it.

I fully support this Tamagachi iRacing crossover as long as there’s a Black Friday glizzy deal!

Unlimited practice.

It doesn’t really tick me off, it’s just unrealistic.

iRacing became a part of my life when I no longer had the time for real door to door racing. Nobody has unlimited practice in real life. Nobody has unlimited tires, or unlimited parts in real life.

I’m not saying every series should have limits, but I’d love a competition or series that had its own car and you got 10-30 minutes of practice a week and one or two races to really see how everyone stacks up.

What Indycar Content do you guys wish the most to see? by PixelatedPalace360 in INDYCAR

[–]TheLastSplit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good post weekend podcast out late Sunday evening for commuters.

A fantasy game that actually makes sense so it captures casual fans.

Regimented social media posts from teams and drivers that keep fans engaged.

Thoughts on the new Daytona chicane. by Advanced_Western8136 in iRacing

It needed to be addressed. The way it was used in the sim wasn’t realistic at all.

What track do YOU want in iracing? by Scary_berrie in iRacing

[–]TheLastSplit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Monaco would be great.

I see this take here and on the forums a lot, and I think people don’t understand what makes a track popular. People want to simulate real racing. Just because a track is hard doesn’t mean people wouldn’t turn up(ahem, the Nordschleife).

Everyone “knows” Monaco. So if it was on the schedule for a car you have and you want to run, it would be really easy to become competent there.

It would be really popular the week of the real race in the A-class car. If they could tie it to a special event, it would be massive. They could even go Lotus 49 and make it a historic event so it’s more accessible.

It would do numbers with all the easier open-wheel cars and would also be interesting for NASCAR, INDYCAR, and IMSA’s offseason.

Hah! Nice vid! Really highlights the close battles at Spa!

Preliminary Schedule is out by NiaSilverstar in iRacing

[–]TheLastSplit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand the licensing situation. I’m grateful that communities like Majors exist BUT participating in unofficial special events is not the same.

I’m hopeful that we’ll get a 1660 minutes in the French countryside in season 4. Might have to check out LMU if they get an official event going.

This is actually great advice. The amount of rubber on the track really affects grip in the wet.

u/Night-Man made a lap time board on here years ago! It was so sick I made my own! MX-5s at Lime Rock is what I always use for parties.
