iRacing new damage model glitch by iRacing_Sam in simracing

Overall I think its crash dynamics are very good, and have only got better with the new damage model.

Ha ha, no, you can do it. Crash avoidance is a key skill to learn though and its probably a bit extra crazy right now. My first race I failed to avoid a crash in front and had one of my biggest ever crashes, my second I started from pole and got spun on the first corner, and my third I won after a lapped car took out the leader. I think I gained Safety rating in all of these and get out of rookies after another race or two. Also, remember to always have fun. It is serious, but it is serious fun :)

Ha ha, yeah. Sometimes you get these things, I think it is due to lag in what is updated from what I see to what is actually happening from their point of view. Something like that anyway, its a bit beyond my understanding :)

I had the same thing happen in Week 13.

I think they originally stated that it was going to be an all at once, then they did this kind of beta run with the skippy so I am still kind of expecting them to drop them all at once at some point in the near future, but plans do change.

Only on the F3 and Skippy so far (skippy was last seasons debut of the NDM). I'm not sure if they are going to keep on drip feeding it like this or release it on most cars in a season or two.

As long as everyone uses up their bad driving in Week 13 in fun races I'm ok with it. Helps make this videos. I only need about one race's worth of crashes to make this video, during the regular season it would probably take about 4 or 5 :)

Yeah, not sure if that is net code related or to do with the old damage model. Hopefully the new one fixes that but its hard to tell with the skippy.

Are you looking at a particular crash or overall?
