A tip that I don’t think everyone knows about is that control bindings can be combinations of buttons. For example, I use the push button input on my 7 way switch as a modifier button. This acts like a shift button on a keyboard. I can hold this button in combination with other buttons to give them another layer of functionality. This is really useful if you have a steering wheel without a lot of buttons.

To add to the crashes one, you can use an xbox controller and bind a button to skip to the next incident or the previous incident aswell. Just go to controls and bind it to whatever button you want to on an xbox controller you have connected to your pc. Hope this helps

I did not know about Tip #3, and I always wondered why iRacing didn't allow a few extra minutes of time between these types of open to fixed races such as the porsche cup and gt3 series. But now I have the option to join anyway, albeit with only 1 lap to qualify. Thanks Ollie! Now I got one tip for you, fuel till the end of the race, thanks Dave! 😂

Another tip is joining a race as a ghost. You can join a race and make a test drive as a ghost so that other drivers do not see you but you see the other cars. You're driving as a ghost so you cannot damage or hinder other drivers, it's very nice for testing and find some speed..

3. Better option is to bind keys showing "next" or "previous incident". 4. Have that on maximum, still get gaps of replay during enduros. I guess it's just iRacing things

How do you record your race?
@nickrice2010 ай бұрын
Can you dual register while in the lobby of your split during practice, qualifying , and race? Or can only do this during the race? Additionally, can you dual register once the race session loads and you are sitting idle on the grid waiting for everyone to join before the pace car pulls away? Trying to figure out ways to do this not while racing, because I almost always undercut in the pits to get more clean laps.

I have a Reverb G2, and I have windows+y bound to a single button on my mouse and another button bound to the windows key. I press windows+y to switch focus from desktop to the headset and then I press windows to open the desktop in the headset where I have the iRacing UI ready on my desktop. Just remember to switch back to the sim screen before you close the virtual desktop and put the focus back to the desktop, so your mouse will work in the sim.
