Tip 12: when you get wrecked (you will...) Be forgiving. Assume it is not intentional and was an accident. When you wreck someone (you will...) Apologize straight away even if you're not sure it is your fault or not. Apologies offset allot of anger. Powerful things

You are dealing with two things, your reputation and your emotions. Racers have long memories and we never forget. We race each other frequently, and get to know who is the nice guy and who is not. Let's just say that if others think you a jerk, they will not give you a break, give you room on track, and even possibly wreck you because they think you deserve it. If you do not acknowledge a mistake, that is like throwing gasoline on the fire. If you do not say sorry, it will get much worse. Just say "sorry" and you have defused a potential land mine. It works the other way too. We all get angry, but to carry that anger causes harm to our thinking and emotions. Learn to let go, learn to forgive, move on, don't dwell on the past, think of the car and corner ahead of you.

+1 on apologizing! Even if its not your fault, ask yourself how could you avoid a crash in the same situation next time by. Always review your crashes after a race, try to learn something - even if its not your fault. Also gauge risk vs gain. Going from 13th to 12th on a 15 cars field on the last lap is probably not worth the 4x for example.

My Tips: 1. Take responsibility for everything that happens to you an the track. It's very liberating if you do. 2. Smoothness and consistency. You cannot get fast without those two things. Smoothness comes first. 3. Turn on the driving line. You will get faster much more quickly. You can use it for races in rookie and D class. 4. Get your black boxes set up properly on the screen. Put the one with the Gear number, pedal bars and speed right above the steering wheel. Press the tab button to bring up the "optimal" box and put it to the left of the speed/gear box. Press the tab button to cycle through the optimal choices to vs. optimal all time sector box. put the relative box to the right of the steering wheel. 5. Practice standing starts in testing mode. Find the starting RPM that allows you to drop the clutch and get on the gas without spinning the rear tires. 6. Never make negative comments. Never respond to negative comments. See tip 1. 7. Always finish every race. Be persistent. 8. At the end of every practice session, press escape and look at the results (lower left) and see who had the fastest lap time. Then click on that person's name twice. Then click on LAPS and then click on the best lap time for that person (in red). Now you can watch that person's driving during that lap. You can even save that lap as a snippet. Make note of his entrance and apex locations, apex speed, gear, when he gets back on the gas. 9. Replay all your races to learn from your mistakes. Save your races. 10. Realize that it's your emotions and psychological state that will ultimately determine how fast you will be. I started racing in August 2019, and I'm a mediocre driver. But I keep learning and improving slowly but surely.

I just got into iRacing myself and I wish I had done this a long time ago. So much fun. Got myself a G920 and I don't regret it in the slightest. Having a decent set of pedals that include a break with some weight to it is probably a huge help to new racers and is way more important IMHO than force feedback strength. At least in my brief experiences.

I have been using Iracing for 3 years. Nothing else comes close in terms of quality of driving (at the higher levels). I focus mostly on the Radical and have a 3K rating, so I am fortunate that I tend to be in the top split. My core piece of advice is that race craft is everything. By that I mean that you can be a really quick driver, but if your decision making is poor then you're going to be your own worst enemy. Before a race, practice, practice, and then practice some more. Understand what the car can do on the track you are on. Do not be impulsive, don't put others at risk. Dive bombers last all of 5 minutes on the service and won't ever reach the higher strength of field races. And don't just expect to waltz in and be competitive with the best. A lot of pro drivers frequent the service and you are in for a wake up call if you expect to be speeding past them. So practice, get consistent, and be smart. Get those things right and you'll be just fine.

As someone who has been on iracing for a while. I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years. My biggest piece of advice I can give, is to take your time in the lower classes. This is where it emulates real life racing. Spend time building up skills and technique before going nuts into the higher class cars. There is too big a jump in performance and you won’t enjoy it
@angryginger791
@angryginger791 4 жыл бұрын
Good point. Just being able to do hotlaps doesn't mean you ready to race wheel to wheel. It pays to take the time to learn racecraft in the lower classes since you will have more time to react and plan moves. In higher performance cars everything happens much more quickly. So if that racecraft isn't second nature, you will definitely cause accidents because you will not be able to think and react fast enough. Not to mention that some of the best racing is in the slower cars.

5:20 Isn’t hot-lap telemetry dude the one who should be in offline practice? What I love about online practice is that it simulates race conditions, which includes slower and faster cars, and a few bozos, so you can practice passing and being passed. If someone just wants to train their muscle memory to the perfect racing line or drive ultra-consistent laps for later analysis, it seems to me that *that’s* the perfect application for offline practice, rather than the other way around. Of course I have a three-digit iRating, so what the hell do I know? 😎🏁

The first few races I did as a rookie I just set myself the goal of finishing without having incidents, and I actually managed to get on the podium within my first few races despite being a couple of seconds a lap slower on average than most of the other guys, purely because there was a huge string of accidents on lap 1 and by hanging back and staying clean I picked up positions. One thing that's worth mentioning too in terms of having a faster driver trying to overtake you, apart from not wanting to have an accident with them you also inevitably end up costing each other time if you try and fight with them for ages. I've had a lot of situations where I've given a place to someone behind who is clearly faster and in doing so not lost any time myself and then been able to make up a couple more positions from slower people ahead, whereas if I'd tried to have a big fight with the faster guy not only would I have probably lost that position anyway I also would have been unable to catch up to the people ahead.

I think the biggest thing I'd like to reiterate for new racers is, if you crash and are sitting on or near the track, please please please please please DON'T MOVE. Can't count how many races I've had ruined due to people thinking they are helping by moving off the track. You have to consider that I have often already committed to a choice of either going in front or behind you at that point in time (even if my choice involves ME driving off the track to avoid a crash with you) so you can't even assume that going the direction that is closest to offtrack is safe either. Just remember DON'T MOVE, watch the relative black box, and only move when nobody is else is coming.

I would say that by starting from the pits you really dont learn very much. I would suggest in that they start from the grid, but dont worry so much about winning. Instead focus on all the cars around you and learn to anticipate there moves. There is a lot of bad driving in Rookies because...well they are Rookies.....and to get better the first thing is track awareness and accident avoidance. These skills will greatly help you once you begin to climb the license ladder.. Starting from the pits, while it is safer, and you can potentially move up in class faster, you will not have learned much about racing with others.

Great advise and info. I'm new to iracing but I do have track/circuit racing experience. There are a few things I'm struggling with in the sim, I'm getting more use to it and tweaking and adjusting settings that work better ect but one thing I'm finding really difficult is threshold breaking, in real life when my wheels lock up the pressure in the pedal reduces which when using the same force will increase travel on the pedal so I rely alot on feeling this happen, so I can reduce the force I'm applying and bring back the tyres right on the limit of grip when braking. Basically I'm asking is there any brake pedal sets avalible out there that can give me this feed back (force feed back brakes)???

On the chopping and changing, I'm an oval guy. I got the ARCA, trucks, Xfinity, and NextGen. When one of the series is at a track I don't have, I'll race whatever one that is on a track I have for the week. There's always one that has a track I own. It's a bit easier for oval guys to chop and cut. The cars all drive relitively similarly in a way (just, your grip limit kinda moves around. Some cars you can definitely get away with a lot more than others), as opposed to road cars. Obviously, you'll have to find tune the muscle memory, but meh. It works for me. That's really what's important. Find what works for you and stick to it until it doesn't work for you or your goals anymore

Hey man, new to the channel and loving it! Keen to get into iRacing (I think) as my choice of sims. Luckily for my bank balance I don't have the space to one day do a decent setup so for the likely casual racing I'll be doing it will be one gaming monitor and wheel mounted to my desk. Question is: Without VR are the only cars that you can really enjoy and have a decent view single seaters where you sit in the middle? Watching footage of cars where you are on the left or the right seems like it would be horrible for sim racing with one screen.

This game already costs a small fortune and you suggest paying for a service that will give me "tips" based on my data?! Maybe if I was winning money to race I would but that seems a bit much to pay for as a beginner... I doubt I'd pay for that service anyways... doesn't seem like it would be that much of a benefit to be worth the cost. Although I don't know what the cost is so honestly I can't be to harsh about it, but still as a beginner I doubt I'd be interested in spending money to get tips when I have KZfaq at my disposal. Anyways thank you for the info, the more info I have the more prepared I'm hoping to be when I get into iRacing next month. God's speed my friend!

One tip that I can give: Don't be angry at yourself for not being as fast as others. It doesn't matter. I was mad at myself because my best time on Spa in a GT3 car is a high 2:21 - but who cares? I don't have the time to drive for 2 hrs every day, but I'm doing something that should be FUN FOR ME. IT'S A GAME, not reallife, not a competition if you play offline. Set the AI to a level that is comfortable for you. If that's 80 on Assetto Corsa Competizione, it's no shame. You will get faster by time, naturally, so push yourself to get faster, but don't be dissapointed or angry at yourself if you didn't get faster compared to yesterday. If you want to play online, be more serious and be really fair, but also --> it's a game, if you get last, then you get last, but at least you and your fellow drivers in that session had fun and didn't get into unnecessary crashes.

If get stuck wondering how some people are doing such fast lap times can try watching iRacing YT videos and use pause to see where peeps brake points are and what their speed is at very end of corner exit compared to yours. Just prepare to be shocked !

Hey man, thanks for your videos. The most informative sim racing channel by far! I have a question, which might well be stupid. I've been mainly hotlapping and racing against AI in Assetto Corsa and RFactor 2 for a couple of years, but I'm keen to get into some online racing. iRacing seems to be the way to go. I'm happy to spend the necessary time to earn my stripes in the MX-5 and build up my safety rating, but my goal is to get spend my time driving the Audi TCR car. My question is, as a newcomer who hasn't yet paid for the iRacing subscription, it's there any point in me buying the TCR car immediately? I'm assuming I could use it offline on the tracks included with the subscription, but would I be able to race online without working through the ranks in the MX-5/whatever is required? In a nutshell, if I subscribed, could I dive straight in to some TCR racing if I bought the Audi, or would I need to prove my worth in a lower class first? Thanks man, keep producing the videos, and stay safe.

Survive rookies is what you need to do, it will put you off and if you survive then you may start enjoying yourself. 2nd thing is dont try to get a higher licence too early because it means sweet fa. A "C"licence will give you great options for series to race in. If money is an issue then decide on Ovals or Road or Dirt. If I went back I would save a fortune bu just going open wheelers for Road series......the Pro Mazda (will be replaced end of this session ) and have a look at its schedule and bulk purchase the tracks for whatever series that car runs. Best value circuit is Nurburgring Nord .......and learn to speak "Kligon"like Bue'quet qoH

@@jamesfarrelly9791 Definitely, crashing is part of motorsports. It's more so in Rookie, you can literally go as cautious as can be, and just get rammed by someone who forgot where the brakes are. The avoidance strategy there is to start behind them. I see your point though :)

​@@egamundoy I agree to start from the back in rookies. But once you are out qualify and focus on finishing the race no matter the position. You will gain experience in the race start mayhem. You can always start in the back and avoid the carnage but you will never win a race like that in higher splits and you will always struggle with having too many cars around you.

So true! But i got same thing happens in real track too. Spent hours in go-kart track (not sport but rental) and asking every time, please do not move if you stood still in the track. Does it works? 1 time from 20. Regarding iRacing two more things. 1 Always keep relative time table on. To see who is behind and how far. 2. After crash hold the brakes! Do not move. 3. If you decided back on track do it safely. Check relative timer first. :) And general one. We all spent money. Respect all pilots on track at least because of that. (I just respect all regardless :) )

Yup. Tried to stay out of everyone’s way and people just hit you and then the safety rating falls and falls. Really annoying to never be able to improve because of other beginner drivers that just don’t give af. Wish there was a better way like license classes or something.. and not either relying on competing with idiots or doing boring time trials
@YayDanMan

Plenty of good points here! My own advice in addition: 1. If you can’t afford to pay up for content, continuing to race at the rookie level is still valuable as it helps you refine your racecraft - there’s always plenty of high-ranked drivers who already do this so you’re unlikely to end up against new rookies as a C/B/A class driver 2. Offline practice is great, but you’ll want to be careful to make sure you test with the same weather conditions, otherwise you could get familiar with a track that has far more (or less) grip than what you’ll be racing on! 3. VRS can be accessed for free as you said - what that gets you is several hours per week of data analysis for a series of your choosing, and that might be enough; the paid tiers are handy though for access to car setup packs and unlimited data analysis

only been on IRacing for about 3 weeks and to be fair the majority of the racing has been fun, BUT i have noticed that most wrecks happen on the first corner or from not getting driving lines quite right, and maybe the odd numpty who thinks they own the whole track... i am not sure but it seems that rookie cars mirrors and brakes are optional extras which drivers don't seem to have fitted to their cars, oh and the word "retard" gets thrown around very often....great video though, just wish this type of video was mandatory for anyone who joins iracing, cant wait to get my C licence and hope that the standard of racing improves because no matter how much i try and drive as safe as i can while trying to be as fast as possible by the end of a race i have gained a 0.02 SR, not saying i am the perfect driver and we all make mistakes but it is as if there are players who are just happy spending their time in rookies and wrecking as much as possible, or think that they can win the race on turn 1.....on indecent i found rather frustrating was straight after following the safety car on lap one, (i use crewchief) as i was waiting to see the light turn green i hear the words "floor it", i always check my mirrors and all i saw was someone from about 4 or 5 rows back just come crashing through the whole line, bouncing off every car in his/her path, pit row was full before the first lap was even started. the interesting point about trying different things before picking a route struck a chord with me, I thought i was going to get into iracing and build towards formula series racing but after having a couple of races in the pickup cup and saw how much fun that was i am now going towards NASCAR, so definitely paid off trying different race "genres"
