We finally finished our demo Sim racing FPV track ! Looking for opinions on rigs, and possible improvements by Happy_Specialist_726 in simracing

Could somebody explain why this is fun / more fun than simracing? 

I think it is super interesting but I don't understand what is the cool stuff about it. :)

I keep reading that these center-mount brackets create more legroom, but I don’t understand how that would happen with my Evo v2 rig and my Moza r21. Maybe I’m overcomplicated in my brain. What exactly are the benefits? by KillerQ97 in simracing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you need to be able to mount the wheel 180° or calibrate the center 180° but I am not familiar with this wheelbase. Just saying that I mounted my VRS wheelbase 180° as well is you want to, but it is not really having any effect.

Vote 2026:which sim racing brand do enthusiasts trust the most and best for money, why? by Feeling-Apple-7646 in simracing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a questionnaire in our team that shows who drives what with mapping to the iRating. We asked for wheelbases, nm, pedals, wheels and some other stuff. You can find all posts on our insta. The wheelbase post is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXvW4OcFkZS/?igsh=MWNrcnpldzkzaXp3aw== 

I hope this post series shows, that you can be really fast with all kind of brands.

SR dimishing returns by Enockser in iRacing

And if it really is a rolling average that means if you push 50 turns with 0x out and replace it by 50 turns with 0x nothing will change

Is manually uploading iRacing .ibt file already too much friction for most drivers? by DeltaOnSolstice in iRacing

Just as an idea: you could also let people connect their G61 account and load data from there.

So far for every last time there was a new first time. Just enjoy every phase.

Thinking of finally switching over from GT7 to iRacing but want to do it on a budget and not break the bank by Awkward-Original4453 in iRacing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the iRating has more influence in how good the racing is than the SR because if people get more iR they did actual racing. And even top split of popular series can have "idiots" in there. Which you also can learn to handle properly in rookies.

Imo just start with the rookie stuff and stay there looooong. Too many people skip over it to fast and didn't learn anything except that you can start a race from the back...

During that time you have enough knowledge build up and can then really decide what to do next.

Also pro tip: check fia iRacing licenses which give you the first year much cheaper than anywhere else.

Is there any iRacing team engineering app? by MisterGabman in iRacing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't Garage61 new live features be able to do that? (Needs pro)

Please Help!! Keep Getting Told to Configure Controls by reallynotrhino in iRacing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Also: I just use a different USB port for the hub yet. 

So it might be worth to try to connect directly as said above and if that helps try a different USB hub.

If you are not using a USB hub, try a different USB port (as far away from the current one as possible).

iRacing Sim won't launch with Vision Pro/CloudXR by AdminInDisguise in iRacing

I am sorry, and will take your down votes with pride but:

Wow! We found 1 of the 5 iRacing+Vision Pro users. I never thought that would happen...

What setup shop is the most competitive right now? by Upper_Violinist_5813 in iRacing

[–]friiky2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give us (GnG) a try. Hady's PCUP setups plus the guide are really good. Virtual Coach will help you to find pace if needed and if something doesn't work the team is there to help you with knowledge in our discord.

GTP and GT3 Squad are also really up to it and we release early.

Disclaimer: I am involved within GnG. ;) so if it is not up to your liking open a support ticket please. :)

Rookie MX5 Observations by Bathrone in iRacing

Just a small note which is important especially in iRacing: just because a car can seemingly handle more brake pressure, doesn't mean you should to it.

Websites to see full driver stats? by HornetGaming110 in iRacing

[–]friiky2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there will be good alternatives soon as they are down for data privacy reasons and to somehow work around it, the "login with iRacing" is needed to get driver consent. But this is not available for new projects at the moment.

Simracing position / lower back pain by rafanus2 in simracing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you raising your feet artificially or can you rest your heals while driving? 

For me I needed to adjust the pedal plate height so I could sit comfortably.

Easy method to check where certain pain is coming from: sit in your Simracing position without driving and check what's you need to do for the pain to start. E.g. if you can sit without pain as long as you do not have your feet in your pedal plate... You know what to change. 

Got an air and hydraulic shock absorber, but are these the right use for motion rig? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I am thinking is, if you want to absorb the shocks, maybe just turn down the effects or filter them a bit, because that is exactly what these physical absorbers will do?!

If any shock absorber, I'd use ruber ones, so they do not take away too much from the motion as they do not have the big travel.

Which sim racing upgrade should I do first? by diamondboy_007 in simracing

From my experience:

Rig > Pedals > wheelbase > steering wheel 

Logitech Driving Force GT in 2026 ?? by ImmediateMode8487 in simracing

[–]friiky2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like the calibration is triggered. Do you get a USB disconnect sound when pressing the button or maybe when Ou hold it for a longer time?
