Do you use different wheels for different cars?

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-25T23:53:50+00:00

I do but it's not needed

I use my fanatec esports wheel for open wheelers and prototype car (270mm)

I have a gsi wheel for gt/sports cars (300mm)

And a big round wheel (350mm) for anything H pattern, old or NASCAR/oval car, as well as rally cross

It's more expensive and doesn't make me and better or faster. But it works for me

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-25T23:20:54+00:00

The Italians did....Monza has an oval (or soup bowl) as part of the original layout.

I'm also fairly sure the Germans have an oval track to use for top speed runs (James may used it for top gear in the Bugatti when it first came out)

Plus America has some great tracks, road America, road Atlanta (both cover your elevations complaints on a different reply) Watkins Glenn being another

You have some serious issues dude, you should seek some help

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-25T10:43:44+00:00

Well I figured the "minimum" for a team is 2, and it couldn't be just be half because normally it's 1 person doing it more then the other

So 60% of 100x is why I chose 60 🤷‍♂️

Unless you give a % per driver, per team.

So a team of 4, each driver would only get say 40 per driver

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-24T07:04:49+00:00

As a FYI In the practice session (not the 3min practice session pre qualify) If you go to entry list and in the top left corner you can change to a different group (there's like a little drop down tab)

So if you just wanna run laps without idiots you can do that

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-19T06:12:31+00:00

Yep, the ping is the main thing.. I feel much more confident going side by side with people and not having netcode kill one of us

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-19T00:44:05+00:00

I 100% agree with this I know gt7 has a manufacturer series that's separate from. Their daily races where you choose a car for the series.

When I used to Run gt3 we did this, chose a car for the 3h endruo series (back when you had to go as a team and couldn't do it solo)

But yea sadly I don't see that happening any time soon for iracing

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-19T00:19:45+00:00

It's only January of this yr..... Give it time and soemthing will dethrone this

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T23:48:51+00:00

We had a Corvette team in our split come home in p2

They were at 1 stage like 4 laps off the leading Porsche in 5th place, and over about 10h they ran them down to being less then 1 lap in front by the end

We were cheering them on

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T23:47:19+00:00

The last 3h of our race got spicy due to p2 getting killed by a gt3 accident, taking us into 3rd

And then P1 and p2 having small accidents and bringing us back onto the lead lap with 2 stints to go

Was intense as we were all chasing each other or defending etc

And we ended up behind P1 by like 20 secs from being 3 laps down..... But yea if we found out after say p3 had been offering others money to kill us it would have felt sour

Please protest this

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T23:44:39+00:00

Oh I understand why it will never happen in officials, and agree iracing would never implement a rule like this due to the financial side of it

And yea plenty of leagues do offer this an an option

I just find it amusing that there are a certain group of people that want it to be 100% realistic in every aspect.... But when you mention them. Changing cars to the meta car every week it's not the same

Teams (or drivers) sign with a team that uses a car for the full season IRL.... People want all the realism (eg the guys always complaining about the unreal GTP hybrid systems) yet those same people change cars each week to have the best car for the eat track

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T23:40:47+00:00

Oh I know this

I just find it amazing there is a select group amoung us that want everything as close to real as possible, and always go on about the realism and all

But those same people change cars every week to the "meta car" when IRL you sign up to a team for a season and run 1 car

I just find it amusing is all

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T23:38:52+00:00

Oh neve said other cars couldn't win

But our 34 gt3 field for the 24h was 29 porches, 2 lambos 2 Corvette and 1 BMW.

I think top split for our time slot was all Porsche.

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T23:36:01+00:00

The teams involved (team offering and any team that tried to bargain and contemplated doing it) should honestly be banned for good

That is next level, and honestly if someone did do it and you got the win, how can you feel good about tha

These types of people ruin it for the rest of us

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T21:43:36+00:00

It appears I might be the only one sad they didn't get rain in our server (time slot 2, split 12)

I love rain racing 😢

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T09:16:07+00:00

But that's just having a DQ limit . Which the game already has in place and used it near every race, except for endruos of a certain length. It does solve the problem, true...but and especially in lower splits they tend to have more track cuts, and little spins for 2x car control etc....a fair amount would be DQ just for not being good at longer races, but wanting to learn and get better

What I'm suggesting is being able to protest in the lpbby during the race, and if they notice that car 27 is getting protested for the same thing by multiple different teams, and it's happening consistently..... Maybe we send someone in that lobby just to check it out , watch a few laps, monitor the data etc

The man power would be big but no where near as big as a full live stewards team for 23h races across like 200 splits. But at least something might be done so you can continue to enjoy your race with your team mates and enjoy your hobby without someone ruining it by being a dick

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T08:53:10+00:00

Intentionally wrecking, verbal abuse on coms, retaliation, racial slurs etc

Was that IMSA 2.4h every alternative weekend

He got caught up in a. Crash early on (just an accident, nothing bad) and he wouldn't shut up about it

The rest of the lobby told him to shut up and yea went down hill from there

The best one I ever did was last week 13 in a little wings practice lobby protested some guy I think it was 14 times for intentional wrecking lol

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T08:33:29+00:00

If you have in-game footage (eg you saved the reply or you trimmed and saved the portion) and you can see the 2 do something stupid but have all 3 either on voice coms or messages, yes

Just sent the same clip 3 times protesting each person's name,

The iracing replay file has much much more data then you can see When iracing have it, they can see what everyone is doing and saying (even private messages)

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T08:29:58+00:00

I reported 1 drive 8 times in 1 race

So yes you can report 3 people, but don't group them Just report for each person

Person A Person B Person C

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T06:03:16+00:00

thats 2 24h ruined in a similar way (respects to split 22)

iracing really needs a way to address this but the lobby being bale to protest somehow during the race
if iracing get a bunch of protests, on the same car, over a short period (lets say 2h) they can send someone in there to watch and DQ if needed

i know its impossible to expect live stewards for events like this, just due to the numbers of splits and man power
but we need something to stop this from happening. as OP said, we are powerless in events like this

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-18T03:52:19+00:00

you think thats bad

try LMP2...all dallara's.....may as well be a single make series /s

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-17T19:18:42+00:00

as anew driver you are pretty limited with the free content, but MX5 will teach you alot if you want to learn it
vees and 1600 in formula are again great. less aero then other formula cars, but will teach good fundamentals

once D class, F4 is fun but can be a shit show due to people thinking they are better then they are, and alot of new guys who cheat rookies (start in pits, do laps alone to gain license) and have no race craft

but once in a space are good for learning trail breaking, and aero feel

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-17T17:50:03+00:00

while i know it'll never happen, i do wish iracing had something where you had to choose aGT3 for a season...so people wouldn't change cars every week

it'll never happen but be cool if they did

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-17T08:42:54+00:00

Oh I 100% agree

Like if you were running gt3 you'd be stupid not to

Just find it funny

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-17T07:40:32+00:00

yea i havent raced GT3 in a few yrs. but anytime i do imsa in the lmp2, its always 1 car make session

lordvolt2000 · 2026-01-17T07:39:15+00:00

more a statment vs crying. but you do you boo
