One more tip, in addition to tip #5: keep going after the checkered flag. Corners in the race count until the last car *on the lead lap* crosses the start/finish. Doing a full cool-down lap and pulling into the pits will almost always gain most of a lap worth of extra clean corners. Plus it keeps you from getting run into by people who don't care about SR.
It's a double-edged sword. You drive conservatively to build SR and don't finish higher up in the standings, so you lose iRating. When you lose iRating, the drivers suck, intentionally block, and they have no regard for SR. I was 2k in sports cars and now and 1500, and I lose .10-.15 every race unless I'm on pole because nobody has regard for anyone else. Totally shot myself in the foot and lost ALL of my SR progress.
It's about how you go into it tho. I'm at the same point currently, but I'm only gaining SR. Even when just starting from the back and avoiding crashes you'll most likely end up near the podium and gaining SR
what really stops me from gaining sr is that i can have a clean race, then go to the next one and i get completely driven through which kills all my progress
I started Iracing around 8/14 and I fasttracked all the way to A Oval; you can definitely take 4x and still drop .05 or more, just from one incident (ex. I dropped .1 for 4x at Oxford plains 40 laps/SKMod as a B class, and the D class who ran into me had 4x+ and still gained SR). I think the SR is somewhat harsh on fast trackers. Btw, love thew videos, taught me much about saving tires. @@DJYeeJay
I had a few bad weeks once, lost alot of SR. So I did like 38 TT in a row and got my SR back. I enjoyed it. Just ran Mods as a small track and ran the full 30 minutes each. I didn't even have to focus on what I was doing.
Cheers. I was wondering why I only got +0.09 for a clean race. Turns out crashing on every other corner in qualifying might have had something to do with it lol.
Do you have any tips on improving restarts. I gave at least 5 wins away this season because of a bad restart at the end of the race I always lose a spot or two regardless of what I do but longer in the run I tend to be one of the faster cars
This is my problem is that SR is more of a currency to spend VS a rating that dictates how safe a driver is. I am not a good racer I am how ever, safe. Because of the system I’m always going to be put in lower MM races. That’s fine with the exception that majority of everyone there just slaps into you. I got DQ twice because people would just run into me from behind. Even the guy who won the race did. Then I take a corner too wide and I get DQ. This system just needs to go. There is an easy and better way. But developers are just lazy now days.
Whatever you do, don't do D Fixed at a super speedway for your oval safety rating. Someone is going to hit you no matter what you do because something about the Arca car just makes otherwise intelligent people really dumb.
Seems lots of people want help with SR to advance... But you don't see this on the track. People litterly don't care and even when they are a lap down they will race you and not let you pass. Like video said just let them go, they are infant a lap down and an idiot...
What I realized is that you will still gain rating even with a 2-4x on a race. Just make sure you’re used to the track before you hop into the race and it will naturally grow
Yesterday I got 10x due to someone smashing into me a couple of corners into the race, i went to pits, repaired fast and kept the sme tyres, ran the rest of the race luckily without finding the vengeful driver and got +0.01 on my SR. I think it was worth running the rest of the race for the +0.01 instead of getting a minus in my SR.
I even got some IR since people kept crashing and found myself in a better position. This was in the sim lab production car series. I've found it really really fun and mostly have had really "polite" races.
@@FrodoOfMe I’ve found that it is always worth finishing the race when possible. Rarely do you ever get caught up in shit like that twice in one race, and sometimes the races I thought I had no chance in I ended up finishing top 10 and get + SR and IR even though I may have had 6 or 8x even and 2-3 min of repairs
I've won a couple I've towed (provided there is a quick repair) on lap 1. I still pretty much always finish top half at least after a lap 1 tow. Always finish if there are spots possible to gain or, if not A4.99, clean laps to be had.
@@SwordnScalesince u have been playing for a while I have a question I just started iRacing last week and i just got to 2 D rating today is that good I’ve racked up 14 wins so far… my goal is to specificallize in f4
I was initially trying to raise SR through starting in the back but was getting bored really fast. Im glad you presented an alternative that suits my style more. I did buy IRacing to race after all.
My pro tip for road racing : Drive on the Nordschleife. And I said drive, no need to aim for laptimes, just stay on track, your SR will jump so quickly and half of the field will crash at some point so yout iR wont suffer that much. See going to the Nord as chilling on a hilly country road. And if you have some pals do race with, do endurance races, if you keep that same idea in uour head, SR will jump even more.
Can confirm long races will do it. When I was C class oval, I decided to race the 300 lap Winter Derby. Was C 3.4 and gained .31 SR. With 24x incidents, a race with 22 cautions, and me being 7 laps down. At least one A class in there gained 1.x SR, albeit caught up a lot less than me. If you're up for a long race, that alone can top you up.
Don't boost your SR, it is only going to lead you to higher skill ceiling cars without the ability to be competitive in them. Stay in rookies for as long as you need to . When you are good enough you will naturally come out of it.
I just think the punishment that you get from simply slightly rubbing or bumping into another car just once in a 40min race is insane. In reality this happens all the time and its a non issue for teams and drivers, nobody gets punished. Yet in iRacing when you simply get bumps slightly from behind or you bump someone slightly you get a 4x incident points penalty and this was already it. You will lose SR if you are in Class A and finish in the middle of the race after 20-30min of racing. Its disheartening because it literally feels like you wasted life time.
I'm Class C in dirt road and Class D in Oval and what still frustrates me is when you do your best to race clean and avoid accidents and someone still ends up rear ending or crashing into you. I like starting from the back, but it's not the "to avoid accidents" thing. It makes me feel like I'm getting better at my racecraft when there is say 10 competitors and I'm 10th and at the end of the race I'm on the podium.
Love the content as always JY! As the cleanest driver on iRacing, these are all solid tips. My advice is to be overly cautious and anticipatory, and always plan yourself a way out of a situation.
I just hate how when you get to A, a singular 4x means you're getting a loss for that race. It's so easy to get a 4x at the start of a race, its practically random chance if you should even bother. Just takes 1 guy or one netcode and bam, all 0x become 4x even though you were miles away at that point
just finished my very first race, it was at charlotte. I qualified 4th, finished 3rd with moving in ajd out of 1st thru 4th. Me and those 3 others were almost door to door the whole 20 laps man my heart was GONG. Having everyone race clean and so close was the best racing experience ive ever had for nascar I'm hooked!
SR is not to measure how safe you drive. Is just to make you think there is something there that IRacing is doing or care about. Me and so many others are trying to race clean and fair.. but always come a fckng idiot who rans against you and guess what? You gonna be responsible and penalized for you good behaved (IRacing doesn’t care about you anyways) Last race, I got 14 incidents, 13 of them I got push and hit from a different car class wich is way faster than mine. Lost SR in the end because of their “gentle bumps” so you (not them wich are way faster) get out of their way ..
@@FrodoOfMe you are completely wrong about that. When I decide to start racing dirt road I will have a huge advantage over rookies because of all the practice laps I have done and can enter any race I want. And hopefully be good enough to stay in front of the idiots and assholes that are the biggest problem in every online racing game.
I know I'm a little late to commenting on the video, there are a few things about SR that I didn't understand when I was new and I see other new (and some old) people not understanding. SR is a function of rolling incidents per corner, it isn't calculating incidents per race, that's just when you see the changes. The number of corners that it keeps track of differ between license levels (more corners in the higher levels) once you hit that number of corners old corners start falling off. If you had a bad race (or week like I always do at Red Bull Ring) for SR those corners eventually start falling off and because of this changes in SR aren't a static thing (you can't count on a certain race producing static SR results for the same number of incident points). Because of many factors, including the above drivers being at different licenses etc. Two drivers won't have the same SR results from the same number of incidents in the same race. Which answers the "Why did he get -.01 and I got -.1 and he had more incidents?" I see a fair bit. I think there was one more thing but it's slipping my mind now. Anyway love the videos. You've got a ton of great and entertaining stuff for a road guy trying to learn the oval side of things.
I keep getting slam dunked from behind in formula vee and 1600. It’s impossible to gain rating when everyone on the track is trying to kill you or trying to Hail Mary into the final corner praying they just suddenly gain 500% more grip than they have had all race
One place I found that was generally really good for farming oval SR was Indy Fixed, races are long enough they mean something and you can get times where its just enough people to make it go official and it ends up being a very clean race.
I kind of agree but at least it gives people who dont really want to spend much time racing or acquiring skills a barrier not to mess with the ones who do.
Great video, but I have one comment on your second point, "Series Selection". When you're an R or D class racer, you don't really have this option. Better series' come with a higher license, and that only comes with getting your safety rating up in the first place.
I just started Iracing (2 weeks) and I’m now C Class but will become B next week or just 3 clean races and I have 4.0 which makes me immediately B. My main target is to race GT3 and GTE but GT3 wants B license and GTE want A license so I need to be A so I can race both. I’ve read CAUTION in these comments but what is it actually ? Did Rookie, D & C class and never experienced CAUTION??? Is it in B & A license or what ? PS: Great explanation about SR in this Vid 👍🏁
Nice video. Your ideas are great (in theory), but not so much when it comes to reality. Running a race almost guarantees you will lose SR…that was my experience anyway. ymmv
Looking for some advice, what can you do to help your car on fixed races and how do you get grip on the corners ? New to this and looking for help. Thank you. Saturday 12th of August 2023.
One big thing for rookies is ignore all tutorials on how to get out of rookies. they all say drive like a grandma, and dont try for anything. This ruins the point of rookies. If you are in rookie class, that is where you learn how to race for the first time. Otherwise you will get to higher classes and become a huge problem because you dont know how to race.
back when the clio cup went to the red bull ring it killed my sr. Every turn is like lap 1 turn 1 with straights and low power and slipstream like that. + there aren't many corners to get sr up to begin with.
I am fighting my own soul trying to get my safety rating above 2.0 before the session switch (A) and boi is this video here at the right time. Its also very easy to rack up points and its definitely due to me being an aggressive driver. Not that i crash everyone, but if i can make a pass, i go for it. This pisses people of and they just drive into me for no reason at all. Anyhow, its my own driving that needs to adjust if i want to gain
this season 2 is a rollercoaster to me. i was everywhere between 1.5 and 3.85 B. my original plan was to get A license quickly, but in many cases it was a disaster. mostly on Daytona and Dega... :( now I'm at 3.15, will do the Arca at Kentucky once, and truly hope that it won't be sub 3.0. I'm at 18th pos in Div5, so I don't want to skip this week, but I also really want that A license :)
My biggest issue with SR is I really don't like "not racing". By that I mean I want to full push in every race I do. Another problem, specifically on the dirt oval side, is most people seem to just not care about SR. like, just absolutely dirty. You lift a hair earlier than they want? They'll punt you. Then there's slidejobs. Even on the smallest track with the slowest cars, everyone still tries slidejobs.
@@josephphillippe8823 Top split is full of people trying to win and make it to the top, the bottom split is full of people trying to survive. You’re more likely to lose it pushing to your limit than trying to just make it to the end
Practice sessions count if it's the practice that happens right before qualifying in the race session. If you're in an open practice it won't affect SR.
Maybe this hot take is a bit too late.. but people shouldn’t need tips for SR. It’s easy to go through the ranks quickly if you’re not being a complete idiot. There are already enough slipping through, and we don’t need more “gaming” the system lol
If you do road racing, a great way to get a big boost is to wait for a race on the nordschlieffe. As he correctly points out, safety rating is calculated as incident points per corner. If you're doing over 140 turns every 7 minutes or so without incidents the safety rating boost is beyond massive.
You're supposed to graduate to D license when you reach 3.0 so unless you're only doing unranked races I dunno why you wouldn't be promoted already. Only certain races count towards your mpr for promotion
One more tip, in addition to tip #5: keep going after the checkered flag. Corners in the race count until the last car *on the lead lap* crosses the start/finish. Doing a full cool-down lap and pulling into the pits will almost always gain most of a lap worth of extra clean corners.

Win races
A pretty good way to lose Road SR, is to drive Nascar at COTA
Those off tracks are absurd
Just do a nurburgring endurance for sports car road. Gets u to A real quick. You can drive a toyota if u're scared.
Do you have any tips on improving restarts. I gave at least 5 wins away this season because of a bad restart at the end of the race I always lose a spot or two regardless of what I do but longer in the run I tend to be one of the faster cars
I just did time trials to go from 1.88sr dirt oval to class A 3.45 lol. Hours spent doing that. Was hell.
Where do i find the time trials in iracing ? Thanks for the help.
Currently......I am doing time trials 😈
I thought pre-race practice aka warm-up is not count in SR
correct me if I wrong
It counts!
once you are in the race session it counts. The open practice before the session does not count.

Yes SR allows you one stupid move every so many corners and people take full advantage
1. Don't crash
2. Don't race rookies
3. Don't race bottom split
Bottom split is waaayy cleaner than top in my experience
if i want a big boost in sr i go to rookie legends. That stuff is amazing. Legends are just kinda boring though, and dont make for fun racing
@@josephphillippe8823 Top split is full of people trying to win and make it to the top, the bottom split is full of people trying to survive. You’re more likely to lose it pushing to your limit than trying to just make it to the end
"cawwtions" fellow long island guy
is Ferrari Fixed good for SR?
Do online practice sessions count towards SR?
Practice sessions count if it's the practice that happens right before qualifying in the race session.
If you're in an open practice it won't affect SR.
Fantastic video !
Maybe this hot take is a bit too late.. but people shouldn’t need tips for SR. It’s easy to go through the ranks quickly if you’re not being a complete idiot. There are already enough slipping through, and we don’t need more “gaming” the system lol
Well yeah … it’s oval racing. I mean if you’re having issues with SR in ovals you probably stink.
So theres a website for everything on iracing.. there’s no rank up service where someone can drive on your account to rank up? 😅
The outro music in every video is underrated. Would give 5/5 every time.
If you do road racing, a great way to get a big boost is to wait for a race on the nordschlieffe.
As he correctly points out, safety rating is calculated as incident points per corner. If you're doing over 140 turns every 7 minutes or so without incidents the safety rating boost is beyond massive.
im a rookie an iv capped out at 4.99? i cant go any higher? wtf? thought u were suppose to be fast tracked if i got to 4.00???
You're supposed to graduate to D license when you reach 3.0 so unless you're only doing unranked races I dunno why you wouldn't be promoted already. Only certain races count towards your mpr for promotion
@@Ben_Chillin all good i need to do 4 d class races. im now a c class
