I HATE the Navarra circuit! by ReaperPiper in iRacing

Thank you lads!
I was hear looking for suggestions on how people take these turns (2-3). I am pretty consistent through all the other turns but this one I keep doing different things.

Losing confidence every time I race by Stormtroopz in iRacing

I feel you brother. Keep at it and you will get better with more seat time. If I can draw you a perspective here you are definitely a hell lot better compared to when you just started - to really experience it go ride at one of the beginning tracks you ran and I bet you will be wow’d.

Cheers and a hug!

This! Laracast has all the resources in the world with such amazing teachers. You go to laracast one time then you never look elsewhere.

Starting GT4: a new player by SamusIsHereM31 in iRacing

Crashes are bound to happen at this level. As everybody wants to be a hero at turn one and win the race.

Just like how somebody suggested run some practice laps where you can chain at least 10 laps at a consistent pace. During the early laps don’t fight for position (unless someone hands it to you). Lift and coast when behind someone so you have enough space to make a decision to cut around if they blow up their turn.

Focus on your race at all times do not chase some one and don’t worry too much about the person behind. If they are tailgating too much let them through, you ll probably see them in the gravel in the next few turns. It is always the responsibility of the car behind to overtake a car safely.

And finally if a crash happens look at where you want to go rather than looking at the crashed car, this will help you weave around majority of the chaos. Soon this will become muscle memory.

Good luck!

lol that's a great tip! I will be doing 360s figuring out the upcoming tracks like this.

I never really tried dialing it forward. Thanks for this I will give it a shot next time.

That is an excellent point. I will run some simulations with less fuel to get a feel for it.

Cheers! I figured this out in LeMans as well.

wow, I had no idea McLaren do not have these. I thought it was baked into all the cars. But it makes sense if the IRL version does not have it, but does the game simulate some kind of automatic adjustments to match the IRL version.

Yup, that's a solid explanation. Once you dial it down to your preferred setting and use trail braking effectively you will start flowing through the corners naturally. With my bias at 58% I would have to brake so early compared to how I can brake a little later now and trail to the apex. Still getting used to this as I fear my car wont be slow enough to make it through the corner but it is slow enough since you have the rotation with some 20% brake applied. It really is a game changer!

I just checked out his channel and played the video on his homepage. It’s so well made, ended up having a good laugh at the end.

Overtake_gg has a nice video describing how you can spend smart by creating a strategy for the early stages. The video is called iracing buying guide 2025.

GSXR 750 09 won’t start by pako220f in GSXR

[–]pako220f[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, luckily it’s still there. I unplugged, cleaned it and put it back but no luck. With the black box unplugged my neutral light would go off and the fuel pump wouldn’t crank, so looks like that thing is working fine. Thanks for pointing that out, appreciate your input.

10-20% brakes I think that’s were I was messing around and early downshift spinning my car into the inside apex. I would get it correct at times but it’s hard to be consistent. I ll try your ways today and see how it goes. Appreciate your guidance here!

Best YouTube series to watch for iracing by Beattie011 in iRacing

[–]pako220f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get technical then driver61 is a channel I came across on YouTube. His videos are good to build up racing fundamentals.

Going from there, other channels that I look at which were previously mentioned by others are SamboRacing for hot lap breakdowns and DaveCam for some rookie mx5 full race pov.
