iRacing Idiots Of The Week #15

[@KinGzeDK]

I really hope that the dude in the black car were reported. He deserves a break from iracing!

[@thargor6750]

100% NEEDS a big ban for that. Really hope Iracing step in and do something about that. We pay enough money for realistic racing. IRL that would be a season ban.....

[@cgrizzy8205]

Don't worry they will find a way to actually ban the m&ms car. Iracing stewards have been on some real shit lately. Embarrassing we pay to be treated the way we are

[@DanCrossRacing]

Assuming you're talking about "Bucsh Brothers Show" - I can confirm that was successfully protested.

[@fartex1]

was about to say the same thing. such behaviour should not be tolerated at all!

[@Khosumi]

A lot of these are blatant sporting code violations that only made me physically annoyed.

[@Blue_Monkey]

Most people don't give a damn about the sporting code. Particularly blocking is pretty common.

[@blueguy12345]

Just started racing in IMSA last week at Hockenheim in the GTP class. A few times I had lapp3d GT3 cars trying to fight me and not wanting to let me pass as if we were fighting for position. We're surrounded by stupid people.

[@RDMracer]

How fight you? Take the inside line defensively? It could be that you're misunderstanding them, as a lower class it's safest to stick to the ideal line. (And sometimes lift a little to make the space needed.)

[@benjisandk]

I hate it when the one who actually causes all the chaos is able to drive on almost unharmed while all the others involved gets the meatball flag

[@Haulinbassracing]

4 wide move at the beginning is every formula vee race from about 3pm standard time to about midnight. Thats the guy whos a second off the pace when hes alone on the track.

[@TheGeekZone]

It’s amazing that most of these happen in high class license races. Like people should know better by the time they are getting to these series.

[@dc67simracing]

I laughed so hard at the Brain Fart one I actually cried. That was hilarious!

[@daviddavies3637]

Same! 😂 Looked like he was trying to spin the wheels to point in the right direction but couldn't figure out how to do it.😂

[@JUSTSIMRACINGYT]

Glad you had a good laugh buddy

[@richardseabright448]

Looked like anger management issues.

[@Puntatacosimuladores]

The green f4 was like: is this sexual harassment?

[@Extra-sw7je]

Always laugh a lot with these

[@nicolasbernier107]

People bumbing on a car’s back before a turn is a daily struggle!…it is crazy how stupid this is.

[@MrAsus4870]

Wow i made it here, so proud :D 7:21 green car, 1st lap and too much throttle

[@JUSTSIMRACINGYT]

Yeah the SF is incredibly easy to spin. Not surprised 2 people did it at the same time, it happens fairly often 😂

[@AzagthothF1]

I wonder how many of those accidents ae caused by lag and total loss of connection.

[@JUSTSIMRACINGYT]

A pretty decent percentage. Improving that would be my priority if I were iRacing

[@FloridaManRacer]

I'd find this a LOT funnier if I weren't constantly the victim of this type of crap on the service. If some of these people were being reported and then properly punished with suspensions, you'd see this a LOT less frequently... Sometimes I think Nim Cross gets paid to do nothing...

[@jacksonbarinowski3966]

I don't see what was idiotic about the Cadillac "avoiding disaster." What'd he do wrong?

[@sureshjayasiri9276]

Lol, I am in this video.

[@hamzterix]

5:30 Worst physics I've seen in a while.

[@dodgers89]

I think netcode played a huge role in this one

[@Khosumi]

No the ferrari turned into the prototype and took himself out.

[@hamzterix]

@@Khosumi yeah but the prototype was on rail and didn't get affected by the other guy. Like @dodgers89 said, could be a net code issue but still is an unrealistic behavior.

[@Khosumi]

@@hamzterix It's 100% a netcode issue.

[@hamzterix]

@@Khosumi OK I see it now. But wouldn't that take away the whole experience? Can't they fix that?

[@AmilcarSala]

Whats the games ???

[@bertram-raven]

Note. When you see a yellow flag, slow the f**k down!

[@Dronepeelo]

Imagine people pay for this.

[@selective9012]

Why on Iracing do wheels always reattach, surely if a wheel comes off it's race over. Some cars just seem to fix themselves.

[@craigsteeves4295]

Is Iracing crash damage getting worse?

[@Khosumi]

What do you mean?

[@craigsteeves4295]

@@Khosumi I haven't used iracing for about 7 years. The cars seemed to get seriously damaged back then. Now the wing falls off on the gt cars and that seems to be all.

[@JUSTSIMRACINGYT]

Nah it's the same, the GT3s have very little cosmetic damage (I assume manufacturers requested it), the mechanical damage is great. The only one easy to destroy is the Ferrari 296, don't know why

[@guidinjavier]

Where can i send videos?

[@JohnySenna]

The broken cars fix itselves? I don't play it because I don't have a simulator

[@JUSTSIMRACINGYT]

Nah it's just lag. Online games have a prdiction software (so the car you are racing doesn't have a 2 sec delay, you know how internet works) Sometimes that software doesn't make an accurate prediction and predicts there's gonna be an impact that breaks the suspension while in reality, the contact isn't that big. When it happens to you you don't notice

[@gabereiser]

iRacing drivers are some of the worst

[@seanberry1]

I've played a lot of different sims - every one of them, without exception, has the same idiots doing the same idiot shit

[@RDMracer]

Some of the best, any other sim has even worse drivers. But in other sims the consequences arre different because ratings in other sims are not as prestigeous.

[@JUSTSIMRACINGYT]

iRacing has a lot of bad drivers (by bad I mean dirty) but not more than AC, Forza, F123, Gran Turismo or pretty much any other racing game/sim
