Yeah man I agree! I made the decision this year I'd rather spend whatever time I had on making content instead of making some half baked coke attempt. I wish you luck!

@@DJYeeJayI enjoy your content man keep up the good work and if you ever need information on anything feel free to reach out to me on iRacing or wherever you can find me and I’ll try to help.

What does becoming pro pay if anything? I am new to Iracing so I am learning every thing.

​@@mrj3217you can earn up to $10 if you participate in 8 weeks out of 12 weeks in a specific series, and if you make it to the iRacing Coca-Cola Series and win the championship, you win $100,000. That is excluding the potential sponsorship that may arrive when you climb up the ranks.

It became a real children’s game which is really unfortunate in my opinion.. I wish there would be additional age restricted leagues like 30+, 40+, 50+ etc. That would also be great for morale and all the ramming kids can be on their own and have fun taking all those unnecessary revenge hits. When it comes to online stuff I’m much more happy with Assetto Corsa and RFactor2 private vintage racing servers which are amazing and have the best cars. I only use iRacing for ovals and especially dirt ovals since no sim has them somewhat correct at the moment. The iRacing FFB is the worst imaginable and the tire physics are so completely wrong it’s laughable, but at least drift physics and changing dirt track state work correctly which is the most important thing for ovals (reminds me that I finally should find out how to install nr2003 and add proper mods!)

I’m going to upload all the interviews in full unlisted and link them in the video over the next day or two!

and in turn I think most people have a crazy amount of respect towards you for having the ability to be as competitive as you are despite being deaf. mad respect

@@JeffG24Rox much appreciated. ❤️

Thanks Kevin! I gotta get you on one of these sometime

Nope some coke drivers run on basic gear!

good equipment (wheel, pedals, rig, etc) doesn't directly translate to being "faster". the biggest thing is that it can help you be more consistent, which in turn might help you be faster. best example is with pedals. fanatec v3's are the choice of a lot of people for upgrading to because they're at a reasonable price point, are easily obtainable, and widely known about for advice/suggestions/help. a better set of pedals can help with consistency under braking (with the load cell) or throttle control (with a stiffer spring) which, if anything, can at least make you feel more consistent. but buying a direct drive or buying a crazy expensive rig won't have an immediate impact i'd say over have a good set of pedals.

Yep, I totally agree you defo don’t need the most expensive gear, just thought it was interesting that gear was never mentioned Maybe there’s an advantage to using basic gear that they don’t want to reveal 😉

Sometimes things happen. Just consider if anything led to you being put in that bad situation, and if so just work on cleaning that up. If not, just gotta try again

Oh really? I was hoping they’d do they, where’d they say it?

@@DJYeeJay it was on the member site a few months back. Should be incorporated into the series coming up in February.

@@DJYeeJay when it comes down to it. It's so important to have that opportunity for up and comers too because of how skewed irating is now

Snakes will NEVER happen in pro.

@@DJYeeJay following up. I guess I was wrong. I'm going to do some digging and try and find the article.

Nope not this year at least! I will do Daytona for the memes though

@@DJYeeJay I’m gonna probably run the NIS on Saturday for Daytona for fun, but any kinda pro stuff no thanks haha but I use to run all the NIS races for a while

The vast majority are on triples or ultrawides. A few are on singles. None are on VR

Real life success requires a larger money sink than iracing will ever be haha

@@DJYeeJay At least IRL pro racing series' pays enough to make a living if you don't constantly crash.

There are several drivers who have gone from iRacing to real life racing. I can't recall names at the moment but a few run the truck series on TV. The top irating driver in iRacing went on to real life racing. I think that is Ty Majewski. I may be wrong. There are also iRacing road course drivers racing in real life. iRacing pays $100,000 to the top NASCAR Pro Oval Champion. This is up from $10,000 several years ago once NASCAR endorsed iRacing. iRacing is for fun for most people. After the wheel/pedal setup $300 and a yearly sub to iRacing ($112.50 during Black Friday week), you'll buy a few cars and tracks as you get better. Those run about $12 to $15 each.

@@davevieira1963 I know that there are iRacing drivers that are now in NASCAR, which is why I asked the question. And now I know where all of the subscription fees go.

Iracing is not that expensive or a "money sink" when you put it in context.... cut out a daily Starbucks or fast food for 2 days and boom you have a months worth of subscription or enough for another car....
