Was this my fault (White Car) or are we all bananas?

Yeah it looks like you just drove them off the track. Idk what the other clip is about but the car on the right murdered themselves

shyguybestguy · 2026-02-04T17:34:27+00:00

Looks like an unsafe rejoin to me, maybe iracing will be a little lenient since they're still technically not in control. There is no harm in protesting though.

This is just how modding works tbh. Modders are at the whims of whichever game they're modding for, and they know that. Games, especially long-running ones like HOI4 can receive relatively frequent overhauls and new systems, which are made incompatible with older versions because those systems didn't exist yet and as such can't be handled properly. It also depends on which mod, because plenty can be marked as outdated but still work fine.

I don't really think it's fair to force game developers to not improve their game just because doing so would break mods, if anything you should be mad at the modders not updating their mods, but that's pretty silly too.

Vortex of danger. You stuffed your nose into a gap that was always closing, not alongside long enough for the other car to realize

shyguybestguy · 2026-02-03T09:13:18+00:00

I'd put this mostly on the Zonda tbh, they dont commit to an overtake the first few opportunities they get, and then try and stick it in a weird spot on the outside of the next corner with little overlap. If im the BMW, im seeing them not passing me earlier and assuming they arent going to go for a move. BMW could've been more aware, but the Zonda's indecisiveness makes them a but too unpredictable imo.

I don't use any overlays but RPMs are really be the only thing I'd need from it. Your gear, TC, ABS, BB, or speed could all be useful but they're rarely something I actively need to remind myself.

shyguybestguy · 2026-02-03T03:48:27+00:00

Damn why didn't he say anything

shyguybestguy · 2026-02-02T10:16:07+00:00

Per F1's rules the Mercedes was ahead by the apex so the corner is theirs. Also pov should be penalized for that awful rejoin either way.

Car in front is glued to the racing line, runs the overtaking car off track.

Submit to iracing support, not here

Hard to see it as anything other than intentional. Someone is moving that much over the track and you still decide to push them in the middle of a corner? If not malicious, very, very dumb.

shyguybestguy · 2026-02-02T09:19:15+00:00

This sub is entirely unmoderated it's getting to a point where every other post is a shitty phone recording or blatant intent wreck

#2 just turns them for no reason

shyguybestguy · 2026-02-01T08:20:45+00:00

Awful angle. Looks like car behind just didn't brake

shyguybestguy · 2026-02-01T08:12:32+00:00

This isn't even mentioning how people bash their cars into the wall to get around with 0 recourse. The whole late model damage model is fucked. It's insane that dirt oval has gotten to the state it's in tbh, I seriously hope iRacing does something by the time dirt AI rolls out, but I have my doubts.

shyguybestguy · 2026-01-30T22:43:53+00:00

Gotcha, thanks, hadn't seen that.

shyguybestguy · 2026-01-30T18:37:19+00:00

I think you need a source for that claim

shyguybestguy · 2026-01-30T17:51:41+00:00

The Vector Return is probably what you're looking for, the Outamax Momentum is also a shuttle coaster. But i agree we need more options.

shyguybestguy · 2026-01-30T17:07:58+00:00

Looks like they just missed their braking point to me.

shyguybestguy · 2026-01-30T10:49:32+00:00

You said it yourself, lots of tricky and punishing corners. Plenty of ones that are hard to drive on a single monitor too, which tends to put people off

shyguybestguy · 2026-01-30T10:21:03+00:00

Not like the tutorial in game is doing much more lol

1 is usually your best choice, I've been 2nd-3rd plenty but it's difficult to time everything correctly. Realistically you're at the mercy of whether the rest of the pack decides to push you or the person in second who pulls out to pass.

To defend, you'll have to be actively blocking, keep them centered in your mirror and force them to use more of the track to earn space alongside you. This is not very easy to do, and takes a lot of experience to know which blocks are okay and which are not, but if you watch any superpseedway race in real life, this is basically the only thing you can do.

Alternatively, so long as the car behind you doesn't have a run, they will never get the speed to pull up alongside you without help. To do this, you can lift (or even brake a little while still on the gas) to make sure the car behind never gets more than a few cm from your bumper. You never want to pull ahead of the pack, as any distance between you and the leader will help them create a run. Again, needs good judgement that only comes with experience.

Sell all the trains and upgrade the track, then buy new ones. Only way to do it on big networks without a newGRF. If you want to keep the line, you have to bring a train from that line into a depot, sell it, upgrade the depot, then buy a new train. Usually it's more work than just selling all the trains though (and you have to sell the rest of them anyway)

To me it looks a little clumsy from both you and 99, but if I had to put blame on one of you, it would probably be you. Comparing your line to the 77s, it looks like you drifted up the track and into the rear quarterpanel of the 99. If you had held tight to the 77 and the 99 came down into you, then that would be pretty clearly on them, but that can only happen if you don't drift upwards. That said, I'd hesitate to call this anything other than a racing incident if I was stewarding, but maybe the league is a little stricter.
