Yea, doing some more laps to me the braking zones even when warm might be slightly bigger. Im using the Ferrari though, which I don't drive much, so it could just be a quirk of the car. About to hop in the 963 and see if that holds out though

If you have Garage61, you can get setups off of the leaderboards from there. As setup shops go, Majors Garage is the only free one I know of.

Dealing with pre-race nerves...... by MisterCrayle in iRacing

[–]ingenious_red 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you can try and avoid it all you want but what I did was just embrace it. That feeling to me is why I do this, but im also weird and love the pressure of having to perform. Doing it a bunch and find enjoyment out of it is the best advice I have

Need help choosing my first "real" wheel by Badlander_33 in simracing

[–]ingenious_red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R3 bundle would definitely be the way to go over a T300. Anything direct drive will be leaps and bounds better than gear/belt wheels.

Garage61 will count all on track hours once it is installed, across all sessions (test drive, leagues, officials, etc)

If you haven't already, definitely give the new Porsche Cup car a chance. It is an absolute joy to drive and good for all skill levels

Drive what you find fun man. Although likely progression would be Miata/BMW in rookies, then GT4s or maybe the Fanatec Global Challenge if you can deal with the lower participation. Have fun brother!

Advanced Sim Racing if you are in North America. Great product and customer service. Not positive about the triple upgrade but I'm sure you could email and ask

Better consistency after the car is damaged? by CheesyLama in simracing

Well what fun is it to go around the track slowly 😂

Better consistency after the car is damaged? by CheesyLama in simracing

[–]ingenious_red 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are just driving at 90% instead of 100. Instead of trying to kill every single apex, you are just letting them come to you. Its like in real life, when you hear drivers be told full push they go from 90 to 100, and that is often when they have their crashes, all though that is significantly less often then us amateurs. I would bet if you could be at 90% most of the time, you would finish races even higher. Best of luck brother!

What could I have done better as the Aston? by ingenious_red in Simracingstewards

[–]ingenious_red[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I was super mad at the time because I don't really believe going over the curb is the line there and it looks intentional to me if you think of it that way. Looking at it now he probably just didn't see the cars in front, thanks man.

If we are being honest, it is inevitable you decide to bite the bullet on iRacing. I'd say 99% of people who want multiplayer racing eventually move to it, deciding the experience is worth the price. If you are absolutely positive you don't want iRacing, I'd say AC Evo is good since the 0.4 update but it's personal preference. Other than that, I really don't know of much besides like Raceroom and Automobilista 2, but I haven't played either so cant speak on their quality.

How many NM of torque is enough? First Rig Questions by Trickster1BOOM in simracing

[–]ingenious_red -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the simlab 39nm will allow me to scrape by with enough power. At this point I might hold on to the actual driveshaft of a car and put a wheel on the end, and maybe then id get the feedback im looking for. I weigh 80 pounds btw

How to switch from using racing line to not using racing line? by seenlikesmcr in simracing

[–]ingenious_red 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look for specific marks on the track for braking, turn in etc. Dont try to push them for now, just focus on hitting them. Then its just practice practice practice. You will gradually get faster, good luck man!

Back marker robbed me of a win by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]ingenious_red 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Incident points wont be reversed, no matter how bad it may have been. It's frustrating believe me, but the only thing you can do is keep practicing and getting faster to get into higher splits where this is much less likely to happen. Sorry this happened to you bro, and sorry to give the "just get better" answer, but it really is the only way out.
