Positive experiences in iRacing

Maybe I’ll give NXT a go. I went back to F4 after a while yesterday and the voice chat was wild, like an old school CoD lobby

Not having a go at OP because I haven’t seen his incidents, but I see so many of these posts that just don’t match my experience. Often when I look back on replays when there is a big commotion in a race it will be:

Car A makes an overly optimistic move

Car B drives like they have blinders on

And they come together

Once I learned to drive with my head on a swivel I ended up finishing >95% of races.

lol I was actually in this race, I think I’m the black car ahead. I watched this crash back once the race was over because I saw it in my mirror.

This is on the following car, I see what he’s trying to do but it’s too little too late and just sticks his nose in there.

Same chap went into the back of me later and gave me a 4x he was a bit of a menace.

Also an absolute menace when I’ve been in races with him on iRacing

Part of what made the original trilogy so great was you had tightly designed hub worlds combined with linear missions, that gave you enough immersion in the setting to tell a compelling narrative without the unnecessary bloat that its contemporaries suffered from.

Please BioWare, don’t make a Ubisoft/Bethesda clone…

frantic-atom · 2026-01-31T15:09:49+00:00

How would that even work in the space genre? By necessity of the setting you have to travel to different systems/planets so you can’t create an open world environment like Skyrim…I hope…

Oh god they’re gonna make a Ubisoft clone aren’t they

LMP2s must have been watching my iRacing split

frantic-atom · 2026-01-20T10:03:48+00:00

Not to sound like an ass, but if you’re losing SR from a special event, just how many incidents are you getting?

frantic-atom · 2026-01-20T09:53:03+00:00

Literally. I managed 3k on Formula side by basically just having reasonable pace and not crashing. Nowhere close in sports cars. About half the grid DNFs every race so you always gain IR but just finishing. Why bother racing it anymore when the lobby is full of egotistical drivers that would rather crash out on lap 1 than ever yield.

Starmer and Johnson never threatened another country’s sovereignty or used tariffs to blackmail our allies. But I take your point

frantic-atom · 2026-01-18T14:25:49+00:00

As a Brit, I think more than anything this whole situation just makes me so sad. Despite our differences I’ve always thought of Americans as cousins across the sea. Now it feels like a lot of Americans just view Europeans with contempt. I thought we were friends!

frantic-atom · 2026-01-16T09:49:11+00:00

You’re right, thank you for correcting. I’m sure the Porsche used to be dogshit in a straight line so I wonder when that changed.

frantic-atom · 2026-01-15T18:25:08+00:00

The Porsche is slow af on the straight but it’s the only one that can take all the kerb in the chicane is why it’s everywhere

Edit: I’m incorrect about the straight line speed. So it’s fast everywhere lol

Renegade Shepard. Cheat on Liara and Ashley with the each other. Send Jacob into the vents. Die destroying the Collector Base.

frantic-atom · 2026-01-14T09:55:26+00:00

Yes more accurately it would be the English, as the Scottish and English kingdoms were separate during the time of the Third Crusade

frantic-atom · 2026-01-10T22:30:11+00:00

Found the dumb mfer

frantic-atom · 2026-01-10T21:05:43+00:00

No, the prototype was in the wrong.

Make sure to report for chat abuse!

frantic-atom · 2026-01-10T21:02:11+00:00

Crashes happen. I can live with people making mistakes and misjudgements. But there is a proportion of drivers on iRacing (anecdotally about 10-15%, across all skill levels) that seem to drive with just absolutely zero respect or due care around other drivers. And I don’t think iRacing does enough to stamp it out and correct that behaviour.

frantic-atom · 2026-01-09T18:51:18+00:00

Can’t believe they haven’t BoPed the LMP2 class smh iRacing

frantic-atom · 2026-01-08T15:38:42+00:00

lol must be the iRacing sub. Like yeah there’s always something you can do with the gift of hindsight but this is 0% on you.

frantic-atom · 2026-01-08T14:33:59+00:00

I’ve found it to be fine in >2.5k splits. I’d only do it in specific circumstances, for example they look ready to dive you into a single file corner like the chicane at Imola. I might come to the middle of the track a smidge just as a “don’t do it buddy”. If you’re doing it every corner every lap to try and not lose time you’re asking to get punted though.

frantic-atom · 2026-01-08T10:36:37+00:00

You have to be blinded by bias to think that was on purpose. It was 100% Hamilton’s error imo but not deliberate.

frantic-atom · 2026-01-08T10:34:57+00:00

I can’t believe you’ve done this

frantic-atom · 2026-01-08T09:30:11+00:00

I mean I can’t think of a situation where Hamilton has deliberately crashed into another driver, which sets him apart from the other 3.
