For me - a 1x requiring a restart plus Time Trial laps only giving something like 30% of SR compared to racing means I don't really bother with this. I think it can be useful as a rookie for a very short time to push you over the hump into class D but after that I'm not sure it's worth it at all. Nice video. Subbed.

I agree.. I'm new to iracing and got my level C Road, 3.34 safety, and I saw the end of this time trial to get ".03" safety - if you finish an Mx-5 road race clean you'll get way more than that and at least become a better racer for the experience too. I think I've seen after 1 race a max of .43 SR + with 0 incidents

Totally I do not do this. I practice on my own, get the hang of it then I enter races and I drive the best I can given my lap times compared to the field. Run the race and just give any positions to the cars that are clearly faster than you. This way you get race participation credits, safety rating, irating, and you learn how the races play out and how the track evolves.
@reggaesurvivor2512 ай бұрын
i dont know what races you drive, but its super hard to net get touched by other drivers = negative safety rating
@zero_day_xsploit3 ай бұрын
If you are in rookies and trying to get 3 SR just don’t race stay on track and let people pass. That’s why you don’t have irating yet. After rookies you have to know how to stay on track and race because you have both ratings now.

@JACKZERYT2 ай бұрын
@regibson23 lol , I thought is was implied but I'll clarify - If you don't trust yourself in a race to get SR - if you only need 0.03 SR - If you want to do practice but add a little bit of risk to reward spice - Trying to practice consistency and race pace with race limits ... There's a alot of reasons why someone would do this.

Question, do you need a good lap time or just incident free laps to get a decent SR?
@JACKZERYT5 ай бұрын
In general yes. But no, like Corners per minute is a factor I believe, but if you drive 2 or 3 seconds a lap slower to not risk a 1x, the much better risk to reward. As long as you don't slip into balls to the wall quali mode by accident, cus the a. 1x will come, just drive, don't race if you catch my drift

@frafzn6745 well its a way to practice/and get SR at the same time, whilst practicing with "risk" similar to a race, so you don't make any bad habits abusing the track limits like in practice going for a hotlap

Did SFL @ Silverstone last week, got taken out towards the end of the race. Had a few incidents points from prior in the race (as I was pushing) and my SR plummeted to 2.x something. Next race I go Dallara F3 @ Interlagos. I'm taken out on the first lap by a pit lane starter as I'm moving up the field and suddenly my SR is in 1.x territory. Thus I decide go back to Silverstone and do a "safe" race and just let everybody go so I can gain some SR, yet in the last chicane on the very first lap there is a big crash, a car slides back onto the track, barely clipping me, and even tho I tried to avoid him (or her) I'm given 8 fucking incident points LOL I couldn't believe my eyes. I was like "wtf is this Zombieland double tap shit". Tho it's my fault for following the field too close instead of just letting them go. That said, it's racing and I'll take it every day over boring SR gains in TT even tho I'm currently at (I think) 1.2 and never lost a license before. Ringmeister @ Nordschleife next!
