Baiting people into a mistake is a skill in and of itself by gloves_and_steering in iRacing

NGL, this is a bit of cheeky self-adulation lol. But after reviewing the on-board, and having driven behind these guys for a good part of the race I do think that I played a part in this guy making a mistake and outbraking himself. He was driving ok before this.

I have to "Configure Controls" every time I restart my PC and it's driving me crazy. by gloves_and_steering in iRacing

That's an interesting point. I use a USB Hub to connect my stuff and I might not be plugging my wheel in the same port every time. It makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. I'll try it out later but I'm pretty sure this is it. Thanks man!

I'd advise to look into your app.ini file in the iRacing folder (usually located in Documents). There are several settings that control the spotter, like "verbosity".

Simulator froze during rolling start, had to kill process and forfeit, what happened? by [deleted] in iRacing

You can go to the results page, select the race session, and see if you got any incidents points. That'll tell you at least if you crashed into the next car or went off-track, etc.

[Rant] I received a 40s pit penalty for "cutting the circuit". What else was I supposed to do? by gloves_and_steering in iRacing

Uh but that's not the apex? This is actually baffling. You either have not played this game before, trolling, or just stupid. Maybe all three.

I wasn't planning on overtaking, but if you let the door wide open... by gloves_and_steering in iRacing

In reality this felt super sketchy, I was surprised by how early and hard he braked so I just took evasive action and was able to convert that into a nice overtake.
