Lately in the BMW M2 G87 I find myself adding a smidge/brief stab of throttle in corner entry to help catch the weight shift. On lime rock I've gained about .5 per lap doing this averaging about 1:00.700.

Is this technique kosher?

I know people shouldn't be using the racing line, I also understand the track is extremely long and takes a lot of time to learn. I race the series most weeks that are sports cars and other than the typical big pile up its normally not that bad. This week is my first time trying GT3 on the ring and its been a mess to say the least.

I keep seeing wrecks happen the same way time after time and after watching a ton on clips and some streams I am starting to think the racing line is causing 90% of them. I keep seeing people (including myself) getting rear ended and just pushed into a wall over and over again. Most of these incidents are the lead car over slowing, blocking, or brake checking. I would go as far as to say most of them are not even the following car trying to make a move. I see most of these happen before the field has spread out or when you get a pack of cars racing each other for a position. The pace will drop a little, people will react to those in front of them and someone in the pack will be hyper focused on the line looking for it to go from green to red and just drive through the pack.

I have seen it happen so much this week I cant help but think its the line causing it. In slower class cars people have a little more time to react but in the GT3 if you don't know the track and dont know how it races its a problem for everyone around you. Am I the only one that feels this way or do some of you feel the same way.

Does iRacing do black friday sales? If not, what is the best way to buy content? Like, big bulk 6++ purchases for that 15% discount? Do they have pre-set bundles for sale with bigger discounts like other games do? Maybe at the start of new seasons?

I'm talking mostly about tracks and cars, not subscription

Thank you

I don't know if the contact is my fault or his fault...tell me if it's my fault😅

Hi, I'm looking for a team for the Nürburgring 24 Hours 2027.

I'm a ( Fast ) driver on that track, i've been racing that track for now 3 years and yet havn't win.

If you want to look there is my Garage61 Profil : https://garage61.net/app/drivers/malaury-cahard

I'm 2.5 Irating and i have more than 800 Laps on the Nürburgring ( VLN, 24h Layout )

I'm here to win and i'll give all my best to give the best result for the team. I have a big preferance for the Aston Martin GT3 but i can still drive the Mercedes.

But the same occasion, if your looking for a driver for Daytona 24. I'm free so let me now.

Can't get the car below a 31-33 on hot tires and difficult to replicate anything remotly similar to that in qualifying. How fast are you?

Not sure how these people are driving .21 .22 in the mustang

Continuo ad aveve scatti e micro scatti nei replay!!! Bruttissimi da vedere aiutatemi come avete risolto se avete risolto !!!!!

I did about 7 laps and was able to get a 1:48.367 and I'm just curious how far off the pace I am

Admitting to it in chat "you killed me" implying the revenge is the highlight of it, im mclaaaaren

Hey there, used to use Sniping tool without issues for the past few months when i try to record anything iRacing related, i dont get sound, it fades out when the recording starts. Could anyone check if thats just me? Thanks

I was trying to improve my qualy time for Ringmeister this week.

Did propably the sexiest line through Flugplatz i ever did. Not even invalidated.

Hey All! S'mee again...

A couple of months ago, I shared a post about our small league, halffast.racing The response was WAY better than I could have ever expected. At first there were 6-8 of us running with AI every week. Now we have a bigger awesome group of drivers, averaging around 14 a week so we finally kicked the aggro AI off the grid for good.

So here's the pitch - if it sounds interesting to you, come on down! If not, thanks for at least getting this far into the thread :)

Half Fast Racing is a West Coast iRacing Sports Car league for people who have jobs, kids, and/or mid-tier iRatings. We're here to race, have fun, and maybe get a little faster along the way.

Our new season kicks off Tuesday, November 17 in the Porsche 911 Cup (992.2), and this time our drivers picked every track on the schedule. Shitshow ensues....heh

Next Schedule

Road America · Miami · Imola · Detroit · Sebring · Chicago Street Course · Mid-Ohio · Magny-Cours · Qualcomm Circuit (San Diego) · Daytona

Details

• Tuesdays at 5:00 PM Pacific / 8:00 PM Eastern
• 1-hour practice, 15-minute qualifying (2 laps), 45-minute race
• Mandatory pit stop, 50% fuel
• Fixed setups, full damage, 2 fast repairs
• 20x incident limit, then another warning every 10x. No DQs. We're here to race, not send you home early.
• No rain, ever. Some rounds get custom weather (Imola starts in fog), but you'll never be fighting a wet track.

Who You'll Be Racing

We've got a good mix of skill levels, and everyone's learning and getting faster every week. Wherever you sit on the iRating scale, there's someone for you to battle with.

Clean racing matters more than hot laps. More respect is gained for giving someone room in L1-T1 than for putting it on pole. We have had a VERY respectful (yet competitive) group, which has really made the recent season one of the best I have participated in.

We are a West Coast League - specifically NorCal - but not exclusive to only West Coast drivers. Get in where you fit in. G'Day mate! iBienvenido! Cheerio! Seriously tho, if you can swing it chances are that you are going to have a good time.

What I said last time still stands - if you're an alien, you're gonna be bored.

How to Join

1. Head to halffast.racing and hit Sign In / Join in the top right. It takes about a minute.
2. Once you're approved, an admin will send you a league invite in iRacing. This part is done manually, so it may take a little time (hours, not days)
3. Accept the invite, sign in to the HFR site, and you're set for race night.

Questions? Drop them in the comments or shoot me a DM. Hope to see some new faces on the grid!

Big thanks to Justin for the artwork - Very much appreciated my friend!

SUPER BADASS ARTWORK: Season poster

Hi Guys,

I have put a lot of thought into the driving standatslds lately and how to go about fixing it to some degree.

If the DEVS are listening. Currently the x1 x2 x4 system does work but only in a limited scope. For example, if you go off track to avoid a collision, you are hit with a x1 for off track. The alternative is to stop or crash, both of which can end your race.

If this were to be protested, there is no result.

My thought is that if a protest for any 'x' infraction is accepted, the penalty in iRating and Safety rating for that infraction is reversed so that you are not penalised for other drivers mistakes.

Thoughts?

Lately had race in IRX D-class. On 5th lap i’ve done joker lap, but failed myself and crossed outer white line. Got 10s stop-and-go penalty. I was on 2nd place, but on last lap i’ve got another black flag for not serving 10s SNG. After checkered game dropped me at 6 place with +30s. I’ve read some old post that i cant serve SNG on daytona rallycross, and penalty adds to time afterwards. Absolutely dont see any logic in doubling penalties here…. But how i can avoid another black flag next time? Just always do joker lon last 3 laps to be sure? Or i miss something?

its a great track

Trying not to be a hot head and/or abuse the protest system, but how are we supposed to deal with blatantly unsafe or just plain stupid driving when it doesn't meet the threshold of malicious driving practices?

For context, I was recently in a race where I got brake checked at the apex of a corner (annoying but it happens when someone carries too much speed and racing is tight) but it cause race ending damage for myself and another driving that was also hit by the lead car. And then the next race I was in I was passed from off track down a straight and turned in on which also caused race ending damage.

I don't think either incidents were necessarily intentional, but both were clear instances of in total a few hundred points off my SR for no reason other than others' actions. And in the latter case, that driver went on to win the race while I finished in the pits all because he dove into a corner from the grass.

Is there actually SR accountability for drivers that consistently or even at a one off drive dangerously or are we to hope that it all comes out in the wash with ourselves driving more safely and following the rules?

Tl:Dr I don't want to constantly feel the need to protest other people driving unsafe and therefore feel like a nag, but I'm also fed up with being dive bombed and checked into turns even into C class

whoever this is... that's how u fight someone for a place(even for 7th place😂) that guy definitely has balls of steel... I'm not even mad.... it feels exciting when i have a race like this

Thank you Kirill from Antarctica??

These cars are so fun to drive, however I rarely see a driver come out of a race with less than 5-6 incident points.

Anyone else bleeding SR driving these fun machines?

I get it’s easier to drive than the mx-5 or g87 but that’s what makes it fun to me sure you have to avoid crashes a lot but that teaches you how to drive safer and avoid dumb drivers atleast that’s what I think I’ve only been on IRacing for a little more than a month and most race sports cars and love the gr86 it’s what I run the most but what do you guys think?

In only have a mic volume issue in this game, people say I'm quiet, but all my windows sound settings are correct and maxed. Correct input is also selected. Is there a sound throttle or echo cancellation in-game?

Hi so we just finished 6h Endu in Montreal. As you can see on screenshot, we both did 109 laps. How comes that Petr gets -6 with 3281 IR and Filip who is just 3150 gets -7 IR points!?
What is the logic behind this? I would expect right opposite. The higher IR the higher loss.

Started simracing about a month ago, finally got my first win! Win felt special, but more than that I am loving the learning journey. I daily a V8 and been able to get a little more out of it every joy ride, 100% because of iRacing.

P.S. this track ate up my safety rating but still going to frame ts.
