Irating ironically, is what ruins iracing. People become so obsessed with the irating, the fun factor is lost and enjoying the actual racing is forgotten. My tip to iracers is just race. This coming from someone with 5.5k I’ve learnt the hard way……

But… IR are there for the matching… If you have farmed rating, every time you want to just do a race, because it’s fun, you always in the wrong split. A way to high split…
@Ben_LaBroca2 жыл бұрын
Always enjoy the vids GM, but my less fun take is you really don’t want an irating that doesn’t represent your actual speed. Better to just let your irating look after itself and find a car or two that you enjoy racing. The irating is primarily there to help match you with drivers of a similar standard to you and give you a competitive race.

I fully agree with this. I have fun racing with an irating of 1.3k. If I get faster and naturally get a higher rating then so be it, but it’s not my aim. I mainly like Iracing because it matches you with somewhat similar racers of a similar standard.

Found out just focusing on always finishing the race does wonders. A consistent top 10 finish on a populated series with many splits will almost always give a net plus on iRating.
@racingwithrob2 жыл бұрын
One tip not mentioned is racing at less populated hours. If you are somewhat on pace and get put in a split with wide talent spread it is much easier to finish in the top half and gain irating. The problem with this approach is the lower skilled drivers may be erratic at the beginning of the race but I'd you qualify well and get beyond initial madness it's a sure way to raise irating

Just start from the pit in rookie series and you'll finish top 10 unless you're just so terrible that you won't get iRating any other way anyway.

If you want to farm iRating, you should have the pace to keep it once you farmed it. There is literally 0 point in farming iR, if you're unable to deliver the pace that goes with it. If you have the speed and enough experience, your iRating will go up naturally. What you're teaching and suggesting to people is the worst possible way to educate people about how you should gain iRating. That open wheel cars are the go to point to farm iR as well, isn't true at all either. Pick one car, pick one series for a season or two, get to know every aspect and the limit of one car and run with it. That in your case it's the F4, okay i can see that, but in all honesty, the biggest competition is in Porsche Cup and GT3, that's where the gains are and that's where you very quickly start to see who should be above 4k, and who shouldn't.
@GamerMuscleVideos2 жыл бұрын
1) this video just explains how to farm ir , not that it's a good thing to do 2) the video on my channel after this explains why farming ir is pointless and why ir doesn't really do anything after 2500-3k 3) ir is also rather broken as obvously GT3 is way different from formula racing 4) GT3 and Porsche cup is for people that like driving cars that have the response of a wheel barrow filled with concrete. 5) as for who should be 4k or not it's litrally just down to who has wasted the most amount of time hot lapping and memorising inputs to have good pace not that that's unrealistic same thing happens at local go kart tracks where drivers with very limited craft have great pace simply because they have driven same place from age of 4 😆. I'm awfull at iracing as I drive from ffb + like to overdrive a bit then dile it back , I racing lacks a bunch of vital ffb forces and also massively punishes over driving , yet by just memorising a line and brake points I'm easily finishing top 4 top split all day long at donno brands hatch olton park. ( With multiple cars) AC , R3E , RF2 I'm on it right away without needing to memorize to the same level and pace is also more about ballence at the limit rather than the basic brake turn line driving. Obvously for a person to always be over 3k they are probably a semi decent SIM racer.

Interesting video, but my limited experience says that the easiest farm for SR and IR is actually the rookie MX-5 Cup. Start from the pit and have a decent pace. Unless you're terrible, you'll be top 5 easily if not on the podium. If you drive clean and keep decent pace you'll pick up SR and IR quickly. Basically the opposite of what you're saying, but it works.

Feel bad for new iRacers or sim racers who watch and try to follow this 'guide'. You can't just "farm" iRating up to 3000-4000. For iRating to go up, you need to be a half decent to good driver and the thing is, once you peak out your skill level, you can't just keep "farming", it doesn't work that way. There are LOT of players on there and chances are you'll eventually hit your maximum peak, whatever that is and unless you become a BETTER driver, you're not getting out of your bracket. You might go up but unless you keep up, you'll fall right back down to where you belong for your skill level. Don't get obsessed with it, if you're a good driver, you'll go up quick and end up with people with same skill level. You're not getting to 4000 iRating unless you're at skill level of drivers who are at 4K.... and if you ARE at that skill level, you don't need a guide, you just need to race and you'll get there. Only thing really worth "farming" if need it be is your Safety Rating if it takes a tumble due to others and you need to get it back up to your required license class. Even that is not that big of a deal. Just get in the car and race!
@GamerMuscleVideos4 ай бұрын
To get irating up you have to "not race" basically just got lap in races and make sure you can qualify in top 5 for the split you are in. Other drivers and the physics and netcode are far too iratic for proper close racing. SR just comes automatically from not racing and hot lapping. For i rating and SR the worst thing you can do is "race" Even at 4k the skill of drivers is awful largely due to how punishing iracings tires are but also how many hotlappers that can only drive one line there is.
@strangerdanger10124 ай бұрын
@@GamerMuscleVideos My point is that if you can't race (by that I mean be decent enough to be finishing in leading midpack groups) you will hit a peak and basically end up peaking your iR UNLESS you improve to be a better driver that does finish at least in high midpack as the iR climbs and splits become more challenging. Example, eventually you'll end up in splits where just going around the track finishing laps isn't going to increase your iR if you keep finishing last, it'll drop your iR right back down to where your pace is. AND if your pace is good, you'll end up climing the iR ladder anyways so not sure why iR needs to be 'farmed'. My comment was targeted at new racers who have not yet developed a decent pace, it gives them a false hope that they can just do as suggested and farm 3000-4000 iRating.
