Pretty much all of these can be applied to public server racing in some form.
It's an idiot test, not a skill test. All entry level rookie is testing for is to make sure you aren't brain dead. That's ALL that is required. These videos are a waste of time, because if you need this video, YOU DON'T GET IT.
Harsh, I know. But it's truth.
But here are other tips :
1. Practice, if you can't make it around the track consistently nothing you do will help you.
2. Mute the chat and STFU. Rookies are exceptionally toxic.
3. Everyone is a newly minted teenage driver with a texting addiction.
4. Use the relative timing F3 black box.
5. Start a list, remember who the morons are and who the quality racers are.
6. It's okay to be passed.
7. You aren't Dale Earnhardt, YOU just look like a jackass wrecking people.
8. Yellows don't mean throw out the anchor.
9. Know your surroundings, keep your situational awareness up.
10. Don't be afraid to race providing the other guy has proven competent and you can handle it.
11. Brake lights can be incredibly useful to help prevent you from getting run over if used properly.
12. When all else fails, start from pits.

How about adding " If you have a run on the car in front but cannot pass, it is ok to lift off and try again" So many people have to pass at all costs when they have a run.

I'd argue that for racing it's kind of reversed actually. I've seen so many people who are lightning fast in time trials but who just don't have a single clue on how to race safely. They treat driving in a tight pack of cars and battling for position exactly the same way as driving a hotlap and that's what causes all the crashes.

I also had this problem, still do to a degree. My training grounds were in GTS, and it wasn't until I started using the hood cam, which doesn't have a rear view mirror, that I learned to not stress over drivers behind me. It still took an effort not to look behind to see where the other cars were, but slowly and surely I started improving. It is the car behind that has to calculate a pass, not the driver in front that has to calculate how to get passed. It was also a matter of me being too kind and rather letting cars pass than just pushing on.

I spent 4 weeks in rookies when I first joined iRacing. I spent the first 3 weeks pushing and racing people like I do now in upper license class series. I spent the 4th week with my eyes focused only on looking out for and avoiding incidents. Both incidents that were happening ahead and incidents that were about to happen ahead. After that 1 week of using my head I was able to progress classes and begin to ease back into the same racing that I did in my first 3 weeks. This may be the first time you've made a video like this Matt, but by watching your videos attentively instead if just for the entertainment of the racing, you had already taught me every single tip you listed today when I was a rookie. All I can add onto this video for rookies reading this is always be learning. There is something to learn in every single thing you do pertaining to sim racing, so don't let those lessons go to waste.

I never really liked the advice of start from pits in rookie and just lap. You are there to race and learn race craft. Best time to learn all that is in rookie. Get out there on the grid and learn how to deal with turn one chaos when you are in the middle of the field. It takes 2 (some times more) to have a crash. I have been on iracing for three years and I still will save replays of any race that I have any kind of contact. I rewatch it from there cockpit view, I watch it from Chase cam, both mine and there’s, ill watching from the View of the car behind use. I watch from as many different angles to see what I could have done differently. Sure some times there was nothing you could have done to avoid it but more times then not there was something I could have done to help avoid a crash.

I don't believe there's much race craft to be learned in rookies. Race craft has an implicit notion that you're racing with other people who will respect some basic rules of it. Rookie is implicitly based on people being blindingly incompetent and having no race craft. You can't race with people like that. You can only treat them as some features of a Super Mario level. The moment you escape rookie is when you begin to learn race craft, when you're around people who take it seriously.

Before I watched this, the title had me thinking about what would be the one tip I'd give any simracing rookie being an experienced league racer. I watched the video and tip #1 pretty much covered it. When I would host a drivers meeting before a NR2003 plate race, my biggest tip was always "Don't try to make up for a mistake. Take your loss, regroup, and move on, because if you try to jump back into that hole you just left, you will wreck half the field" and sure enough some guy with yellow stripes on lap 10...

There's a worse place than iRacing Rookies. It's called Raceroom Silhouette Series. With litteral wreckers. Not just incompetent drivers, people literally on the server with no other purpose than wrecking into people to try ruining their day, by driving the wrong way, stopping sideways in the middle of the track, waiting to ram,... I feel sorry for people with so little to do in their lives.

Final tip i'd give is "It's not the end of the world when you get a 4x for contact caused by someone else, you're not gonna drop down a whole class for that for one 4x, you're not gonna get DQ'ed because of one non-fault contact out of an entire race, the guy who caused it probably will though so its OKAY..." -also applies to GT Sport players who go absolutely ape shit when the same thing happens to them...

Both get the same punishment for that one particular incident but my point is the one causing the incident is likely going to have others while you might have only that one so they will drop rank faster than the clean drivers. Sometimes you will drop a rank but you will find it easier to go back up to the rank you deserve than a dirty driver will.

7:42 To break it down even further, I’d say wreck avoidance is 70% awareness, 20% skill, and 10% luck. There have been PLENTY of instances where I’ve seen wrecks develop way before they actually happened and have acted accordingly. Especially in rookies, always assume if there’s a pack of cars in front of you that they will become a junkyard in the next few laps! Also as a random side note: I made it out of rookies in iRacing before I even got a steering wheel lol.

So I worked with her on her driving lines and what gears to use and when and now she qualifies top 3 regularly and thus gained confidence. Like this guy said practice. It's so nice to have someone to share the same passion I have. On the other note, Mazda class is just carnage in general lol

The way I got out, which was fairly quickly, was that I just raced to stay on the track. Didn't care for position or for good lap times. Usually I still ended fairly high because everyone crashes except for 1st most of the time, and even 1st will often spin out somewhere. I just gave everyone tons of space to make mistakes without taking me with them. After I realised that I was out of rookies in a week or so.

Any advise what to drive once you hit D class on the road tracks as i just got promoted. I was looking at getting Skip Barber maybe. The only D class race i did so far was a real challenge with the step up in power what would you reccomend getting as a stepping stone race if any?
@Neljosmusic
@Neljosmusic 3 жыл бұрын
Dunno if this is still useful after a month, but for anybody who stumbles across this comment, I personally found the Skip Barber to be one of the better series if you're looking to focus on single-seaters. The power isn't that huge of a step up and I feel its a good transition away from things like the MX-5. If you're looking for something a step up, I loved the USF 2000 for the Formula Sprint series. It has higher power but actually uses slicks and at least for me, the aero/downforce just makes the car feel better than the Skip. However if you're in Class D and don't wanna buy a new car yet or don't feel totally comfortable racing yet (that's how I was when I left Rookie's)... The Sim-Lab challenge allows you to continue running with the MX-5 and build up your Safety Rating more.

My personal best advice would be leave yourself few % margin in corners at first 2 laps. Crashes always happen at first few laps until people get some distance between them. And if you go at the limit during corner you can only go quickly to outside, sometimes you notice danger very late due to blind corners and other stuff and you have very limited time to make decision. So it is better to have more choices to escape the madness.

I can safely say that the ‘keep the car clean and you’ll advance’ system is actually true. I got iRacing, and within 5 days was in the D-License stage in two disciplines. In one of these disciplines I only won one race out of 12, finishing an average of 5th. But for the other, I STILL haven’t gotten a single win, and in fact rarely finished anywhere in the top 5 (with a full field of 19 cars.)

I've been watching a few video's around and about, i was always a die hard gran turismo fan, then the new one kind of disappointed a little bit, primarily because they decided to discontinue the use of the G25 wheel set on the PS4 system, so R3E popped into my view and i've tried it and find it great, invested in a new graphics card for the PC and going to see if i can decide on which tracks & cars to invest in, and sell the PS4....these tips are so simple and logical, but i'm sure some don't even realise! I do find that i wreck on the start line in the R3E races due to the fact people go the the start line and then don't move so you go full bore off the line and then try and quickly avoid them, back end spins round and then every man and his dog goes into the side of you! Great fun though when you get a clean track,, particularly like the Portamau track, for a free track it's great fun, and a challenge!

iv been playing for a few years now and if i qually poor then i still start in pits, on average i normally make up all the positions i lost from the pits on the first lap due to wrecks anyway, then its a clean race for me

Hey empty box, I was hoping that are you considering about being an Iracing commentator for Iracing anytime soon?

I hope mid/late 2018. They said they'd do it if there was demand, basically every thread people discuss cars they'd like it quickly is a UAK18 fest. I can't imagine there would be too many cars that would slot above it in the production order. Realistically, probably summer 2019.

Now you can cheat your way through rookie class. Im not a big road course racer but I do road courses when nascar goes to them and since it counts towards your license. When we went to daytona road course I got everything ready for promotion all I needed was 3 mx5 races so I just jumped in and once the green flag waved I left and it worked.

(6:10) It’s like trying to not die in an FPS game. Doing well doesn’t mean never dyeing or never getting passed. 5th out of 20 cars is good and 4th out of 32 players is good.

My tip is go slow and see how the drivers around you drive, then stay away from them and try to pass if you can, if you can't, then dont try, just drive and learn, dont be suicidal. You will get better eventually and advance in class. I have never used iRacing, but raced against rookies or people just starting and even those that race with keyboard, not an easy task but just going slow you can go fast.

Have I spun or binned it a few times in rookies? Yes of course I did those were my first 6 (or so) races, I was new. But not racing was the best racing I had in rookies. Start last and watch them wreck left right and center. Let them pass, get of the throttle. Get three clean races (and then some more to get out of D) and when people (and you) are getting cleaner, go for it. Before that, do a hotlap, memorise that time and during the race go 5-10 seconds slower.
