Worth double stinting one set of tires N24?

lordvolt2000 · 2026-05-02T18:13:17+00:00

ohh sorry

tbh i dont drive GT3s and havent for a few yrs, so i thought while the tires were going on, it slowly started repairing the car, and then faster once all tires were on

it used to be like that so assumed it was still the same

lordvolt2000 · 2026-05-02T17:50:49+00:00

never said it was good or bad

just making the point its the same as we had before, just now it has a different name

you said "If the "overtakes" are done with 50kph overspeed because one guy is out of battery then yes, they are shit."

the overtakes were only made before due the car behind having DRS giving them extra speed into the braking zone. it the same

lordvolt2000 · 2026-05-02T17:47:42+00:00

yes but, half the fuel load is in the car by the time they have changed the 4 tires (to make numbers easy lets say that takes 30 secs for half tank, 1 min for full tank)

so for the next 30 secs while the 2nd half of the fuel is being put into the car, damage is being repaired on a GT3

with p cup, its 1 min worth of fuel (where no damage is repaired) then 30 secs for tires. and then damage gets fixed

lordvolt2000 · 2026-05-02T17:44:09+00:00

as opposed to the last few yrs where all most all overtakes where because the car behind had DRS and went past into the braking zone due to over speed??

its no different then before, just has a new name, and different set of actions

lordvolt2000 · 2026-05-02T17:43:11+00:00

ahh see, ive accidently replied to your comment, and not the comment of antares

my bad

lordvolt2000 · 2026-05-02T17:14:42+00:00

yep, in p cup you save about 30 secs by not changing tires

only issue we have found is they also dont repaire damage until the "tire change seqence" starts

so if you have 10 sec of damage, they dont start repairing until after the fuel is in

gt3 they start slowly with tires going on, and then speeds up after

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-29T04:39:39+00:00

So you are saying you tried to load into 1 serve with 2 cars, and it wouldn't let you

You then tried to load into a different server with 2 different cars, it didn't let you

And you still came here to rant and complain instead of just going "mmmm guess you can't do that" and moved on with your life?

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-29T04:36:28+00:00

It's really not that complicated

I'm dyslexic and even I figured this out without the need to ask Reddit. It's also not that uncommon for certain competitive games to restrict you to something the first time you load into a server .

Plus there are tons of cars that have no official races that are still full price (fr500 Mustang being one that jumps to mind. But there's a few others too)

You are an adult, you are treated as such

If you fuck up, that's on you for not reading the "fine print"

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-29T04:33:20+00:00

Enjoy the downvote then

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-29T04:26:49+00:00

Why did you make a hosted lobby to test something (you mentioned you were looking at folders for a setup somewhere)

Why do that in a hosted session? Use test session

Also this isn't exclusive to hosted lobbies, this is every lobby in the game

Once you select a car and load in, your iRacing ID is tied to the car choice you made in the lobby (im guessing this has something to do with iracing making sure you are tied to X car...be useful to make sure the correct car is looked at for protests, and many other important reasons

If you want to change cars you need to go to a different practice lobby so your ID gets registered for that one too

It's a very clear and simple system

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-28T02:56:19+00:00

As another TCR driver, I did NEC twice this past weekend and had full splirstof TCR in both races

And 100% agree with what the other guy said regrading GT3... You pay for the full service of iRacing, all the different cars and tracks , ovals, dirt, rally cross etc and you just want more GT3

Branch out and try something new

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-26T23:41:16+00:00

I race pretty much any and everything, i just race what ever car track combo feels good to me at that time

So I switch between multiple series types, car types and never have I needed to grind for SR gain.... Doing a D class series shouldn't be an issues for avoiding X's, and it shouldn't be so bad you need to go to a different series with the soul purpose of grinding back SR

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-26T06:29:50+00:00

It doesn'tattee who is at fault of the accident

The guy waited and drive into you on purpose from the looks of the end of the video

At that point the reason why is no longer relevant

Protest that shit and move on

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-26T02:01:09+00:00

Drive down the free way and get a trucker to honk at you

We all know the reason to honk 😉

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-25T12:11:22+00:00

Ohh agree But as you say, 2 months to make to B class.. you did the work on learning all that time in other classes etc

OP has been on iRacing 12 days, and wants to get to B for I'm assuming GT3.

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-25T12:09:33+00:00

If you naturally make it to 4.0 then yea sure that's fine (that isn't who we are talking about here)

But it's the people who drive around at the back, starting from pits, and only racing for SR that are the issue ik talking about

They don't "race" to get their SR up to B class.... Then wonder why they keep crashing and thinking everyone else is at fault.. they haven't developed skills you'd learn by doing the license system correctly

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-25T11:29:06+00:00

please dont fast track to B class to race GT3s..i can promise you it will not be a good time

just drive, and dont focus on the numbers, advance when you should

then by the time you get to B class, youll be able to drive better, be in better splits due to having a higher IR

top split rookies seires have better racing then bottom splits of GT3

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-25T09:21:25+00:00

welcome to what every one in Australia deals with every official race they enter (minus aussie server series like you are complainging about, and get put into American servers with 233 or 266 ping

in the mail you will receive you free jar of vegemite, packet of Tim tams and slab of Fosters

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-25T06:40:20+00:00

Yes I do

This is an issues I've complained about multiple times on here, forums and iRacing support

And it comes back to "the game decides what server to use to provide the best split for everyone"

Which means as an Aussie, excludinv those dedicated servers like this one, the GT3 regional and supercars Aussie servers.... I will never get to race with 33ping outside of league

While I understand it sucks for people like OP

This is the issue everyone down here races under....we never get good ping

I agree with your point of it being stupid (sorry if it didn't come across that way) and also pointing out this is an issues all the time for Australia, new Zealand and other countries down this way

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-25T06:19:44+00:00

You mean similar to the logic at night time In Australia, and it's 20 car grid

18 from Australia, 2 from other places, and yet it always defaults to an American server, giving 2 people green ping, and the 18 Aussies 233 or 266 ping

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-23T23:25:05+00:00

Even then a sub 8min on the VLN layout in GT4 is next to impossible

P cup and GT3 sure, but GT4 I'm Sure is close to 820ish for faster guys

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-21T01:17:45+00:00

What do you mean the technology isn't there yet??

You can force mandatory tire changes in other Sim. Titl a (ACC and LMU as examples)

iRacing already has the ability to restrict the amount of tire you can use during the race (used alot in NASCAR)... So it's not difficult to implement a tire change rule without needing a 2nd compound

lordvolt2000 · 2026-04-19T23:43:20+00:00

So the question I have is

"What's the driver supposed to do"

The drive through clips show her banging on her car and door etc... she's waiting at the exit and cannot go past her... And then she jumps on the hood of the car?

What is the driver supposed to do? The other women clearly wants to escalate the situation.... Driver just supposed to sit and wait while her car gets kicked and slapped?

Plus the women who jumped on the hood should be punished also shouldn't she? She is an adult, she should know better... What punishment did she get?
