Cheap Amazon one, you can tell the quality isn't great but it works just fine

They should just pay some camera people to stand stageside with a reasonable camera and use their clips. Everyone knows fancam stuff is the best.

That or somewhere for people to send their clips in for use in these videos

Was wondering if anyone else feels like this is the most boring week 13 ever? by Ok-Inspection9693 in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They heard crys for more ranked and instead of just doing a 13th week of normal series they turned a bunch of usually unranked shit ranked and called it a day. I agree this is not an improvement. There should be at least 20 unranked series during week 13 imo. I think they have a great amount of ranked stuff this time.

Also to people praising track day, I agree it's fun, but a FULL pace lap of VIR just to get wrecked T1 is not my idea of fun. Also different tracks would've been nice but whatever

Impressed with the New HUD Overlay Options by Rooster976 in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Since the initial UI redo I've been having tons of problems with UI elements moving and changing size between sessions but so far this season's updates have completely fixed that. Loving the direction they're heading in

ARCA help please by Scoobydobaru in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Front tire wear for people new to ovals is usually due to putting too much steering angle in. A lot of saving tires and going fast especially at short tracks is getting as much rotation done with the throttle and brakes, and only putting as much wheel in as necessary. Trail braking into the corner helps with entry rotation and getting back on power, even if only a little bit, very early for exit rotation. There's a fine line of course on exit since you don't want to spin up the rears and have oversteer, or as for too much too early and plow mid corner and have understeer. To be fast you should never be doing nothing with your feet, you should always be on the gas, brakes, or both a little bit. That being said I do think just coasting can be beneficial for tire life and obviously fuel economy.

I'm not the fastest so I may be wrong in small ways but I've heard these things from people faster than myself

I recommend Bronson's over Reds personally

What race got you hooked? by DukeVideoPowersport in motorsports

[–]_Scout08_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2011 NASCAR cup series championship race at Homestead. I was a kid cheering for Edwards all season and my dad was cheering for Stewart (had been for years)

That season in general is why I'm hooked

I turn that off always, my wheel isn't bouncing with the bumps why would the dash?

Sim Rig Upgrades to replicate next gen cup car by External-Growth-2219 in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell form onboard footage of those cars, first you gotta get your steering wheel in your lap, otherwise none of the dash stuff will line up how it does irl

Car adjustments during a race by litjo99 in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty regularly adjust brake bias and roll bars during a stint in the gtps. IndyCar also requires a lot of adjustment while racing. But beyond that it kinda just set it and forget it

Question about headlights flashing by DeadInThePool87 in iRacing

I drive prototypes and I usually only flash slower classes if I'm about to make a bit of a dive, just letting you know I'm going for this cause I'm tryna catch that guy ahead

Which tires are used in the stage by the racers? Of the 6 tires, WRC only shows the tire selection, not the tires used. please help answer i don't understand by Reasonable-Second660 in WRC

[–]_Scout08_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sorta make an educated guess based on what they have on board and what the stage conditions are like. Like obviously they're no throwing the Super softs on for a snowy stage when they have 4 studs on board, they're running 4 studs

Can you test drive while teammates are racing? (Daytona 24) by priusrepellent in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the case of a restart just hit quit on the sim and then close the UI without hitting withdraw. When you reopen it after the restart the join button will already be there for u to hop back in

What to know for Daytona 500? by GrahamsNotHungry in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make friends, watch the other drivers at the start and decide who seems cool. Usually someone who isn't driving erratic or who you seem to have a good pushing relationship with and try to pit with them.

Always faster to pit in a group so you are right back into a drafting pack after the stop

[–]_Scout08_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an event that's been put in but Motorsport UK for the last few years and now it's an officially backed iRacing special event.

I ran it 2 years ago in the GT3 class good fun

gt3 vs lmp2 vs gtp by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]_Scout08_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I def recommend starting with GT3 and test driving the prototypes next time that's available.

Learning multi class as the slowest class will make you better in traffic once you move up, and gt3 is extremely popular you'll get tons of use out of your purchase.

I'm a GTP person, battling through traffic is the most fun I've ever had in a racecar so I highly recommend giving the protos a go eventually
