The quickest way to gain Safety Rating in Sim Racing! | Demonstration

[@smokeybarrplays8226]

While this technique might be good if you've had a bad couple of weeks and want to bump up your rating, I wouldn't recommend this to new drivers. It's going to artificially inflate their rating and they're going to end up in a car and potentially lobby way above their racecraft ability. They're going to end up likely not enjoying the race because everyone is quicker and more importantly potentially ruin other people's race for the same reason. If someone is constantly chasing safety rating, they should look at impriving their racecraft. Like a few others, I wasnt aware the SR was active in iRacing practice! Thanks for that 👍

[@agentwaffle6476]

Yh I think this is good if you want to increase your safety rating as a driver who can handle the increased skill

[@MarcIOne1975]

He Dave was fun racing you.Thanks for bringing me to youtube ;-) Greetings from the guy in the red Ferrari.

[@LowCountryMack]

I'm completely new to Sim Racing. I started ACC a little over a year ago on a controller and have since advanced to an entry level wheel and pedals. That said, I stayed in game practicing, running career mode and championships etc., to learn all I could about racing GT3's-4's, all the while increasing my SA, along with the rest of it. When I decided to go online, I knew better than to go to public servers. Instead, I found a league that gives serious rookies a chance to race and learn. In that, I have been able to maintain a good SA....so far.😆 Didn't mean to go so long but, thought a new racers point of view and approach might give a different perspective. 'Hope the vacation was good Dave and great stuff as always.'👍

[@muttman7999]

You should only worry about driver rating. Safety rating comes naturally and it’s much easier to gain when your racing against competent drivers.

[@regibson23]

SR isn't meant to be farmed. People need to learn how to race smarter to gain SR.

[@cruuzr]

Thank you for saying this. Good racecraft can/should still be practiced while racing competitively.

[@ChadGeidel]

I would generally agree with you except for the SR system in iRacing is pretty punitive. Every IRL race driver wouldn’t be able to race if the track limits and ‘bumps’ were enforced as rigorously as in iRacing. A few ‘offs’ over a few races will take 10+ ‘perfect’ races to recover from.

[@BG_36]

You are obviously assuming that everyone is brand new to racing. That they have no experience with racing at all. I would suggest the problem with bad driving has more to do with attitude, aggression and aspirations of greatness than this system of licensing.

[@YouTubeWatcher9000]

I get what you’re saying but it’s crazy the amount of times that I’ve tried to drive as safely as possible, giving people way more room than they should need, and still gotten hit. Also, getting hit from behind by people braking too late or people rejoining the track at the worst time and place. Those situations are where most of my SR losses have come from. It’s not as simple as “race smarter”.

[@cruuzr]

@@ChadGeidel You can't just log in for another race as an irl driver. Irl licensing takes that fact into account.

[@fosolif01]

I´m racing on iracing for 9 months now, road and oval races. In the Road Races, i tried to get as much irating as possible, and did the opposite in the oval races, so i tried to earn as much sr as possible to get the A-Licence. Now, i got the A-licences in both categories, BUT: My Irating on road is 1750, in oval-races appr. 900. Now it is very very hard to raise my irating on ovals, too many wrecks and morons in every race. So i think it is better to raise irating first, it is easier to get Safety-Rating with gentle opponents. Sorry for my bad english 🙂

[@phoenixmotorsport647]

what i have found in the ovals is if you hang back but stay in touch you will get double green. Ovals seem to be foot to the floor, hang on, and stay out of trouble. Let everyone else do the work for you

[@braveheart4603]

I think it might be easier early on for oval races but harder earlier on in road races. I think the racing on roads / circuits gets more predictable the higher the standard of driver

[@phoenixmotorsport647]

@@braveheart4603 thats true, but ovals do seem to be pretty consistent at every level. one person makes a mistake and wipes out half the field and there is a free 10 places

[@lewisbloom]

Nice video, needs to be said more! I was gonna do a video like this for the casuals as now I am a silver rank casual slow racer its funny to see super quick Gold drivers with a Bronze 0 safety rank lol. Reminder though, as you mention it a bit in the video, that in LMU the skill aspect is actually called Driver Rank. And the Safety one is just Safety Rank. So its not DR you're increasing but the SR.

[@2ndLastJedi]

Hurry up and bring in VR support, this looks fun.

[@Leynad778]

Sorry Dave, but starting from the back is just way too risky and IMO the best way staying out of trouble is qualifying within the Top 5, because they usually have better skills and I tend to see the carnage in the mirror, not in front and the field thins out better there as well. Did my first online race yesterday, qualified P2, finished P2 even I was a bit faster than the guy in front. Just made him nervous being close and waited for a mistake, but wasn't bad enough at the end to pass him without risk, so he won. Got a huge chunk of SR without taking any risk. Probably doesn't always work like that, but I even had no contact in the past three Forza Motorsport online races despite good fights.

[@davecamyt]

Not everyone can qualify in the top 5, and can you guarantee you do every time? Imagine being bumped back to p10 when you're trying to gain safety rating in a beginner series. Carnage 😁

[@bramisheu8933]

I drive too cautious, i dont think ill get past 3k IR due to me being more worried about others, im just not aggressive enough 😂

[@HizenHerz24]

Same, its almost like I typed this myself.

[@CKSimRacing]

LOL Davey you gotta update your video upload preset on youtube since it still says that the game you're playing is iRacing(2008) 😜 I hope this video finds a lot of new racers, just like the previous ones of you regarding safe driving and what to be aware of. I've learned all this good stuff by you and it DEFINITELY helped in gaining SR in the first and later on simultaneously IR in the second place!

[@davecamyt]

That's an auto thing. I'll fix. Thanks for the heads up 😁

[@Proph3t6208]

I’ve raced two, 2hr and 40min endurance races over the last two weeks and gotten 18x between them. You go into any sprint race and you have 8 on the first lap mostly due to ghost 4x. The system is I need of an overhaul. I went a half a car length around a wreck the other day and got a 4x

[@phoenixmotorsport647]

My problem is I also race in RL, and there is no safety rating. Ive done that since 2015. I have iRaced for 2 months and I find the draw to race SOOOOOO hard to resist 😁

[@fremen321]

A tip for car control. Turn off the autoblip and autolift options for a smooth car driving experience. I gained almost 2 seconds doing that and the car actually stays on the road lol. Frustrating.

[@drewmf_8176]

This video couldn't have come at a more perfect time. After watching your video i got it in a day! Starting at B 3.19 and in 5 races I got promoted to A! After weeks of head banging i can finally say the grind is complete!

[@5speedsimracer]

at 1.77sr with just over a week left this is perfect timing 😁

[@StickyPlasters]

I did not know safety rating is affected in the practice before qualy. Im always off track testing lines 😂

[@KerryGlaman]

If i don't qualify but still get a grid position that isn't on the back row i start from the pits. Irating sometimes takes a hit but more often than not i make it back to my car #/and or grid position.

[@unscrecon1]

Done my first multi class intermediate race earlier today.. easy for me to gain safety rating … very difficult for me to gain driver rating..

[@lewisbloom]

I was in your race and as a casual it was a lonely one. you guys where 2:18 and below, I was 2:19-20 and every one else behind 2:24+. If it wasnt for a mistake on my part meaning I had to come back through the field after pits I'd of had a very boring race lol. Though I did enjoy the immersion of rounding a corner and seeing an LMP2 on fire haha

Hi Dave, thank you! Do you know if your SR in Iracing is much slower increasing when you are at the back of the field? (I thought so)

[@M1ggins]

no, you gain less the higher your SR rating is on your license, the closer to 4 you get, the smaller the increase, where you start has no bearing.

[@daltoncole342]

Dave, how did you get your Crew Cheif to work in LMU????

[@uhuebner]

scary how often CrewChief called it a "clear left" when the opponent was "clearly left" of you...

[@MichaelSchillab]

That's a setting thing. You can set the distance for "clear" in the CrewChief settings. It applies to all directions, so if you set it to let's say 0.5meters, it will tell you clear when the car besides you is 0.6 meters away.

[@clintbartholomew8005]

[@wellsdavidj]

Wait, iRacing's practice before a race counts for safety rating? I usually push my limits pretty hard in those sessions and get several off tracks trying to find the true limits of the car and track. I always thought practice did not impact safety rating

[@Daniel_Reid]

I thought it didn’t count until qualifying too…

[@C0od3breaker]

only the practice session directly before the qualy counts

[@davecamyt]

Yes those 3 mins practice, qual and race all count 👍

[@TBolt1]

After the checkered flag, your safety score is also impacted when some clown deliberately crashes into you, too. Pisses me off when that happens.

[@ondalimit75]

Have you tried reading the sporting code?

[@imad1996]

Practice sessions before the race do not impact the SR in iracing. Please double check.

[@davecamyt]

The 3 minute session immediately before qualifying does. Sporting code 3.6.1.1 if YOU want to check 👍

[@draynor77]

Is the radar in the game or is the a separate program.

[@scottySK]

I believe it's a 3rd party rF2 app

[@ahicracing884]

Suspect not applicable to most here as very iRacing focused. This advise is not as applicable to increase DR in Gran Turismo 7 as you lose DR for every car you lose to and gain for those you beat. So starting at the back makes it harder to increase DR. YES, drive safety and do passes when on but for Gran Turismo 7 qualify as far up the grid as you can and play you survive the first corner.

I respect Dave a ton and I love his content, BUT I HATE this kind of behavior. This is so fake. Using this strategy and avoiding racing and race situations just puts below average drivers in the mix with people of higher skills and abilities. Sure raise your raitings, but then you and everyone you race with are gonna have a bad time. What people should be doing is running lots of practice, qualify to the best of their abilities and work your way up and your skill and experience allows.

[@davecamyt]

I raced in this race when I needed to, but because safety was my main priority it was clean. Nothing wrong with that 😁

[@magicpierrick3213]

Honnêtement c'est de la merde ce système de notation et ça me définis en rien les compétences du pilote, de rouler side by side. Le fair play ou non . De plus ce qu'il faut faire pour monter son safety rating cest juste l'opposé de ce que est censé etre la course automobile. Un exemple Au départ de la course le gars derrière toi se rate au freinage, te tape l'arrière. Tu continues ta course, tu fais quelques tracklimit (qui sont franchement mal étalonné). Ty te retrouve avec un safety négatif alors que tas roulé à 0.4s derrière un adversaire pendant 75% de la course... Et le jeu te considère comme un joueur pas propre... C un non sens absolu
