This wheel has horrorible grips... wont last a year without looking shiitty. Abd simagic wont acknoledge jt..

My 24s4 season (and the next ones after it) will be dedicated to reach the highest iRating I'm able to. The best way for me to do so, is not to stick to a car or a series, but to a track. The Nordschleife. Gladfully this track is very popular and even when there wasn't the Ring Meister series, most seasons saw the track being raced about 8 times, with some series going to it regularily (every 2-3 seasons), while others have it every time. That's how I got to my current 5k. And to get the most iRating there's no secret, just win the races. And I can't afford to lose because I didn't practice enough. So my personal schedule will consist of waking up 3h before work to practice the car I'll race the next week, while on the evening I'll race the series of the current week. And repeat. I practice the cars by giving myself 2 days to get used to them, or remember how to drive them if I already did in the past, and to fine tune the setup if the series allows to. Then I'll practice every sector one after the other until I feel satisfied with the time to use as a benchmark for qualifying runs next week. All of that doesn't make me practice actual racing, but it's not really an issue, against most of the drivers I'll get out of reach after a couple corners, if not straight from the start. And the couple ones that will keep up or outpace me will have a similar or higher iRating and know how much they would lose if they try anything silly. So always very respectful and enjoying battles.

im trying SO hard not to hate

Jumping back on the track into on coming traffic is NOT the way to gain the respect of your fellow drivers. No reason to even entertain the rest of your strategies how to be an idiot on the track.

50:10 it's your sectors, there's no way to see from other drivers. It doesn't show any best lap because you didn't complete a clean one, as soon as you get at least 1 inc it won't be saved.

46:40 when looking for a driver in particular, you can click on the helmet and that will display the whole list of drivers so you can directly click on their names

30:45 corner's named Schwalbenschwanz, meaning "swallow tail", because the 2 corners looked like the tip of one to the eyes of the workers when the track was built.

14:10 I think most of the cars don't have their wheel able to turn over 540, for example the Audi 90 GTO is at about 450. My wheel is set up at 900 as on some games like Assetto Corsa they have cars that can go that far, and every sim out there automatically limit the range of steering by car, so back to my GTO, when I reach the car's limit, my wheel automatically resists turning further. I'd recommend you to get a too large range of steering to be sure that you will be able to always use all of the car's turning. Because even if most of the time you don't need to turn that much, on very slow and tight corners like Wehrseifen you will pretty much turn all the way. As long as the car's wheel turns as much as yours the range doesn't matter as it won't change anything on your inputs.

11:30 I recommend you to map a button on your wheel to disable the TC. That way when you're facing the wrong way, you get down into 1st, move by a few mph, then after disabling TC, clutch down, throttle floored and wheel turned one side or the other, then release the clutch and when the car starts to spin let go of the throttle. Voilà, a magnificent U-turn.

10:05 it depends on the track usage. When it's low enough there's little to no rubber layed down so racing line is safe enough, and you want to avoid it only on sections where you need all of the tyre's grip. In the esses you're going through you can go for the line as you're barely turning the wheel.

9:05 With a substantial rallying experience I love the rain, especially when it's not wet enough to go for wet tyres, so you have a car that wants to spin on every occasion, spices up races and also make people do mistakes for my biggest pleasure lol.

7:50 like most racing if not all of them, iRacing is very light on GC and makes eavier use of the CPU. So from the link I shared on your Discord about the Meter Box, your CPU is the concerned component

1:00:25 it's not $20k, iRacing had a prize pool of $260,300 for their 2022 eNASCAR Pro series. Their other Pro series with the Porsche Cup is $200k.

44:30 On Twitch you can open a different tab of the chat that will display who's there, including ppl who didn't write anything

29:15 My answer is that an activity is a game when you can say that you are playing. And to play means to do any activity without being forced to, without any useful end, and you do to divert yourself and get some pleasure out of it. So as soon as you check that box, you are playing a game, which can totally happen in simracing. On any sport you have professional championships, leagues and tournaments, but you can still play soccer, basket ball and table tennis for example.

Also as you'll race the GT4 Challenge only I'll post an onboard to help you on Mondays

15:05 personally I don't use a garage cover, as most of the time I do my own setups, and even when I buy one, I modify it so heavily you have almost nothing in common with the original one lol 😂

Just make your loadcell less stiff. Real life race cars don't have stiff pedals so whatsup with everyone making their simrace pedals death stiff? I don't get it..

Do these haptics work on a console? I have simagic P1000 attached to PS5.

Dude now I know what’s wrong with my irating!!! I’m putting all of these especially the headlights and full send into my game immediately!!! I’ll let you know my results, although I hear some results may vary…. Oh and you earned yourself a subscriber hahaha love it

Sneaky bastard lol. Love the vid tho!

looks great Sir, tnx for sharing

Another good idea is to build a rig… mine is out of wood, and wasn’t too expensive (besides the seat). And It’s able to hold my pedals without any struggle at all.

😂

When you said, "use your headlights", my inner keyboard warrior almost choked on his coffee, but then I thought, "wait a second,..something smells fishy here..."

Fantastic, haha

What is this graphics? The 90’s ?

Excellent idea. I’ll pin your comment.

active reset + custom sector works much better and is faster.

1:09 always the redbull liveries

Pretty much sums it up. Clear and concise!

She's already yellin at Jim LOL.

Thnkas for your video! i just installed the on my pedals and your video has been really improtatn to learn hot to use SimHub.. i had no idea you could record the telemetry to repaly it and fine tune the settinhs, THANKS!!

Tip 5 is basically be more like Oscar Piastri. Top video, Subbed. 👍

I didn’t understand a thing

Noice

4:00 - “This car doesn’t work!” Now I know why I’m so bad at iRacing: the cars don’t work. I feel so much better now

Is SimPro Manager required for them to work? I just connected a set and SimHub recognizes them but the SimHub test doesn't activate them.

I disagree with tip 3, you8 should always fight tooth and nail like your life depends on it. Sim racing should not be fun, it is important where you finish and that every one else is more miserable than you! /s

Boosted Media has some similar videos but that reaction was a bit mild and the not real comments was over the top 🤣

soup you seem like you'd be fun at parties

Good tips! Couple of things I would add : - Be careful of "leaving room" to a faster car, usually you should just drive PREDICTABLY. By that I mean just drive like you usually would and let them make the pass. There has been countless times when a car wants to do the right thing but get rear ended because the passing car wasn't expecting it. - Second pro tip for practicing. You can Spectate a race server that is already started, and from there you can go race and you'll actually be a ghost car, you can see the live drivers but they can't see you and there is no collision. It's a great way to practice and compare your technique.

Don’t rage quit!! Good tip

good practical tips!

I have a somewhat similar method. I start my practice when the tracks rollover and then i just look at the series results and figure out where my times "should" be and that gives me an idea on how far off the mark I am for MY iRating. Im certainly no alien, so this gives me a realistic goal to practice for.

Let’s see what circuit to choose for your first time? Oh let’s choose Spa or Nurburgring 😂

Might be okay for f1 to have a throttle one but i found it more of a hindrance, hard to live without the brake thought. Thanks for the idea of gear grinding in the pedal

You need to be careful when letting a novice use a DD wheel these things have a lot of power and crashing into a wall at speed can result in a lot of hurt and pain. These things are not easy to repair.

Where are you getting the project boxes?
