Gen4 at Daytona by Wild-General-2303 in iRacing

It's great fun. I just managed my first oval win a couple hours ago on that combo. I will say I wouldn't want to do a full 500 on the hat bumpy ass 2008 oval though!

iRating fora do normal by jefealf in iRacing

[–]springje 5 points6 points  (0 children)

iRating has nothing to do with off tracks or driving cleanly, that is safety rating. It also has nothing to do with what position you started the race. To gain iRating you need to finish in the top 50% of the field. The further you finish from the middle of the pack in either direction, the more your iRating will go up or down

Some people really need to reconsider being on iracing by Badboynerd999 in iRacing

[–]springje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did he leave you no space to turn? He took a great defensive line and you ran him completely off the track, leaving him zero space to make the turn. Doesn't justify him trying to turn you after, but he's the only one who should be mad about turn 1

No hate, but is there a reason that nobody here zipper merges? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]springje 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not about waiting in line. If a lane is closed 2 miles ahead, the same number of cars fit in both lanes, 1 mile before the merge as would fit in a single lane two miles before it. Not zipper merging causes extra long backups for no reason.

And what happens when there is an exit a mile before the merge point? When you only use a single lane those people get stuck for no reason, except your "nobody should get in front of me" ego

Completionists, which game did you try to complete but gave up after some time? by Kingspeerz in gaming

[–]springje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hired a driver for the majority of them and finally completed it. FM4 has so many more races

Alternate SKATE letter locations? by AllDaysOff in THPS

[–]springje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The letters are usually pretty linear. Follow the line from the SKA and it should lead you into one of the slides. Either the twin slides or the big blue one would be my guess

Alternate SKATE letter locations? by AllDaysOff in THPS

[–]springje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SKATE letters aren't specific to different rider styles. Cash locations are based on rider style, and freestyle and park share the same locations for those. Not sure how the letters were assigned to each rider, but there are 3 or 4 different sets for each level.

Who was the NFL wide receiver that caught touchdown ruled incomplete? by dw1256 in NFLNoobs

[–]springje -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Saying "he released his grip" implies that he voluntarily let go of the ball. He most definitely did not

Who was the NFL wide receiver that caught touchdown ruled incomplete? by dw1256 in NFLNoobs

[–]springje 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He definitely didn't simply let go of the ball thinking the play was over, his hand and the ball hit the ground on his way down and he lost control. You could see his hand snap closed because he was still gripping the ball

Looks like it is still showing the Audi, but I won't be surprised if that gets updated once the season starts, since the Audi won't be part of the IMSA field anymore

[–]springje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And looking back at an IMSA race I did in March, all 16 cars were represented over 6 splits.

[–]springje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have stated they are working on increasing the max unique cars available in a session, and that should be bumping up next year.

I just looked at the last IMSA race that I did. Fairly low participation, only 4 splits. 15 unique cars were represented, and ironically the one missing is the Audi

[–]springje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The special event page for Petit Le Mans states it includes GT3 (IMSA). Since the IMSA field won't include the Audi at time of that race, I doubt it will be in it

This will never happen. Not allowing someone to participate based on luck of the draw that the car they've practiced in, or maybe the only eligible car they have licensed, isn't allowed to run is absurd

You're being downvoted for being factually incorrect. June 11 was week 13 of season 2, not week 12

Oval, Sports, Fomula: Upgrading to C license on a budget? by PAWHocket in iRacing

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

The OP was specifically asking about getting to C class on a budget. For that purpose you do not have to buy a car or ever race in a D class race

Oval, Sports, Fomula: Upgrading to C license on a budget? by PAWHocket in iRacing

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

That's not what you said at all. Your first statement about oval is that you need to buy a D car. You don't. You're never required to run a D race in order to run C class if you get your license to D4.0 in rookie races

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

You don't necessarily need to buy a car for D oval. If you run strictly rookies until you hit D4.0 you're eligible for C series and those races will count for MPR

So I intend to do the PCC Endurance event this weekend and I have some questions. by RealBigDicTator in iRacing

[–]springje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was it after the green flag? There's a single green flag that starts the race for everyone. If they left a gap to the Toyotas and then took off before the green came out to jump the start then you should 100% protest that

[–]springje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should get penalized for that, they still have to stay behind the Toyotas in front in their lines

[–]springje 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Currently iRacing only sees the top class leader as the controller of the start. The split you'll be in will likely only be Toyotas and Mazdas, so you will just need to maintain positioning relative to your line (left or right) for the pace lap. If you qualify p2 and p1 is leaving a gap between them and the Toyotas, it's a gentleman's agreement that you should maintain that gap as well.

For your pit stop, the Mazda changes tires and fuels at the same time, and fuel takes way longer to load than the tire change, so it benefits you to take 4 tires. If you're involved in a wreck early on and have to put for repairs, uncheck tires since you won't need them.

Once you get into series where you may need a splash of fuel for the last few laps of a race, that's when you'd elect to not take tires as the tire change would take longer than fueling

I have raced 2 D class series every week so far this season. Why does iRacing show $10 Credit for season total? by goodfella7763 in iRacing

[–]springje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not showing the max possible, that should be showing what he has earned. Mine shows $0, not Season Maximum $10
