My advice to new racers isn’t to “get out” of rookies. In rookies you can learn a lot, how to get around traffic and how to avoid how cars react when they spin out or wreck, and how to avoid that. I also feel the Vees are a excellent car to race with, unlike the Mazda, you CANNOT overdrive a Vee. I think there are a lot of dangerous people racing in the faster classes because they never learned how to race clean in the slow cars. The vees also can be more fun to race because in Mazdas, other drivers will most likely slam into you to pass where in open wheel cars you have less chance of that, unless the guy slamming you wants to be dead too. If you aren’t winning in rookies, STAY IN ROOKIES!
I agree. I just started iracing and got my D license in 4 races, in 1 day. But I’m staying in rookie races for now, as I don’t want to wreck others due to my incompetence. But if you know how to race, you can get out very fast and without any tricks, it seems. I only have about 2 months of experience in other sims, mostly ACC and I did nothing in those 1st 4 races, but race. And I even mostly ended up somewhere in the middle and only once on podium, so it seems you don’t even have to do very well, just stay safe mostly.
iRacing tip from someone who has been on the platform for 2 days...don't focus on race wins and start from the back of the grid (don't quali), you'll end up with a podium and increase in your safety rating lmao
You should practice and quali, because it adds to your safety rating, so you get high much faster if you're driving clean even if you end races in the mid ranks.
@@ChrisTian-co4ocI agree, any lap turned in an official race (Prac, Qual, Race) all count towards your irating. At the very least, qualify and just stay on the track
I spent several months in the Rookie’s before I threw in the towel. It really gets old running the same car and tracks week after week. It reminded me of NR2003 lobby races back in the Sierra days.
@@Kireth It wasn’t any fun with all chaos and wrecking. Yes, I could have started from the pits and rode around in the back, but what’s the point of that?
ONe thing have to know about iRacing is its hard and dont be put off by being bad for quite some time, it takes time. if want to "fast track" and dedicated about it there are telementry services that can show you your mistakes and help you out in everyway possible. Think motec will even show you suspension inputs etc right down to tinest detail of every car input. But I recommend VRS to start off with. or can do old fashion way and just drive, drive and drive.
Isn’t GR86 a better progression from a Mazda (also free so you get more settled into iracing without spending too much), than jumping straight to a GT3? I’m kinda surprised iRacing even offers GT3 so soon and doesn’t put it in the next class up
Yeah its kinda weird, but i also think gt3's are kinda meant to be "easy to drive (but fast af) cars", thats why you see so many "senior" drivers in gt3 and especially gt2
GT3 is great if you're racing against people who are good, it's terrible if you aren't. But in general GT3s are a great fast and driver friendly car to jump into, and also one of the most popular classes in sim racing.
SO I bought year licence a few weeks ago in steam sale, And I just waiting on Simagic P1000 pedals - for new rig I've put together after playing using a Logitech G923 I used with Assetto Corsa and comp,Automobilista + 2 for several months and new I loved racing.. So 2 questions - will my licence start when I setup first time account, or was it date of purchase. 2) Do you think I should use my logi while I'm waiting for pedals or just wait a week more for them to come..
@@splice7224feels actually like the opposite. Yes ofc if you're good you gain elo and play vs higher skilled players. While also as a complete beginner besides the first maybe 3 rounds you will also play with ppl around your level which is pretty cool. Luke in the popular races ull even tons of ppl with 600elo
Drive Street Stocks on road courses in solo practice sessions. They slide around a lot and require some concentration to get the most out of them, despite being the rookie car for oval racing. When you do move on to driving the Supercars it’ll be the same but with more horsepower. Brake super early, and be really gentle on the throttle. Try and avoid wheel spin because you want to save your tyres!
Pro tip. Don’t take off from iracing for nearly 3 years while your traveling the world then come back to realize your still ranked super high so your put in races with people who smoke your boots every single race …
New sub 🏁🙌 Getting my podcast going again and swapping to video with sim racing content added. Ordered my pc build yesterday, waited 4 years to do it. I will miss my ps4 ❤️ Thank you for inspiring me to get back into racing and for your excellent content. 🙏🏼
Do all these different categories need to be purchased or do they unlock when you become the right rank please anyone? It’s Something I’ve been unable to find an answer to
I've never raced with a wheel. I just got the Logitech G923, and I've been looking at iRacing. I'm worried about getting too many incident points to partake in anything other than AI racing. I'm still learning the wheel, having literally just swapped from controller. Is there a way for me to figure things out without having to worry about accruing too many incident points?
What helped for me is that I was overthinking and couldn't get the courage to go racing. go with the mentality that you won't be the fastest right now and you will be alright. If you try to stay clear of trouble generally you will have a good score
I just got a G923, and literally just signed up to iRacing after playing GT7 & ACC. Im still learning the ropes, try out formula vee sessions, run practice until youre comfortable with the car and join a race, dont aim to win but instead just it round in one piece to the end of the race. Itll build your confidence as you'll still be beating other drivers in the same boat as you! Just my 2 cents as a fellow sim racing beginner
@eliteff1671 Honestly, I play both, more iRacing though at the moment. Its a bigger time investment with licenses etc but the variety is great. ACC has amazing force feedback and physics though so I'd recommend playing both alternatively
@@Kireth Been enjoying the GT4 a lot. People around me went from MX5 directly to Ferrari Challenge GT3 and they are really struggling. For me the GT4 is a nice stepping stone to get the racing fundamentals in order before moving on to the GT3 and so forth.
I’d be happier with it if the other content wasn’t hundreds of pounds. A couple of DLC? Yeah sure. £1500 selling cars and tracks individually for £10-15 No chance.
@@jameswest9388 It actually is not as expensive as you would think. For example, I race Oval/Road tracks so I would never buy all the other tracks and only need 3-4 cars/trucks.
@@BoneFrossil I understand that, but it does not matter. For a subscription based game I do not expect to have to pay an extra £100 to access a fraction of content. Defending it is almost as criminal as the issue itself imo.
iRacing competition is just trash, practice how much u want, get into 5tenths off the pros, u ll still get wrecked by aguy 4 seconds off the pace good luck
Welll it is 2024 and I definitely will not join IRacing and pay monthly subscriptions. I just don't have the dedicated time to spend to make it worth while. And then they Nickel-Dime us to death with getting new content (12.00 for each addon content). And we loose everything if we discontinue the IRacing contract. NO THANKS!!!!! I will stick to buying all my racing games on STEAM and at a decent sale pricing. No monthly fees to run the games. Lastly, I used to race online in three Nascar private leagues, was allot of fun and was FREE on Sierra Servers. Those days are long gone and then IRacing came along. End of Story!!!
Why so salty? Iracing has a specific target audience, you're just not it. You're essentially walking into a showroom and complaining you can't afford whatever they sell.
i hate the American content and just want open wheel European GP. it would seem iRacing is not good for that? Not interested in GT, but that seems to be where sim racing focuses.
The best advice is to not buy iRacing to begin with. Horrible pricing structure and childish devs. This game could so easily stomp any game out there. They choose not to.
was helpful! I wanted a different feel to assetto so will be jumping in for the first time today. How do the servers deal with drivers from countries like South Africa, aus, new zealand... Hopefully the ping not to bad

Thanks man!
I think im going to get into it tomorrow, i am having a lot of fun with GT7 in VR but I am itching for a serious multiplayer racing sim
Go for it man!
Just picked up a year for$23 time to really get into SIM racing
Awesome price!!!
I picked up a 2 year sub to Iracing under your link. It was a nice discount. I got the 2 years for the cost of one normal year.
the only counter to ‘get out of rookies’ to race against better drivers - you want to have confidence *you* are a better driver before you do that ;)
Great video, new sub and new to iracing. This helps alot
Have fun on your iracing journey!!
Well I'm planning on attempting to use my g29 on iracing. I've never played it before. Hopefully acc is transferrable skills

You can do both if you choose too 👍

$110 to renew for another year. The dilemma is real.
Worth it tho!
Break it down in to hours of entertainment per dollar and it's a steal.
Catch it on sale like I did cyber Monday and may get the whole year for $15 or so
Alright man im In teach me the ways of IRacing lol
Seems like Ferrari GT3 challange doesnt have "free" tracks all the time. Now it would be 25$ to get started.
Yep it rotates but some will be on free tracks

Are the races based on your local Timezone? Being from nz I hope there ain’t any races at midnight hahaha
I did not see a lead to road oval… which one would you choose for that?
I don't really have the expertise for that I'm afraid
iRacing looks very fun and would buy it but the subscription model is what makes me not get it
Just get 2 years to start around a holiday sale and you can get 2 yrs for cheap.
Can I do any dirt racing right off the bat as a newbie?
i see the times the race starts is that real time? and am i always racing ai? or online
what about path to stock car? would still start in mazda?
No. Oval licence is separate from Road. Completely different series.
Do all these different categories need to be purchased or do they unlock when you become the right rank please anyone? It’s Something I’ve been unable to find an answer to
The categories unlock when you obtain higher licences, but you still have to pay for cars and tracks within each series.
You unlock by gaining safety ranking, no purchasing.
Are you saying instant points?
