    best way to get irating is the shorter races, just as much irating as the long ones but your race is only 15min which would cut your time in half, so ferrari challenge or lmp2 challenge is good for irating

    • @AleksandrRudiak
      @AleksandrRudiak 4 місяці тому +3

      with 5.5k it also should be very popular (lmp2 is not very popular) cause he won't get much with irating for winning in the 2k sof split

    If you liked the W11, why not give the Super Formula 23 a try? There's generally a very competitive top split, the car is very fun to drive (unforgivable at times) and I'm fairly sure you'd get some high SoF here and there.

    The best iRating farming series is the "TCR fixed", short races, cars are tanks so very little chance to dnf, and it's the go-to series to farm iRating for most of the fast drivers, at least on the roadside.
    On a side note, if you want to further hone your skills for multiclass racing, check "Classic IMSA series", it's probably the most difficult experience you'll get, the multiclass interaction is so fast and hectic it will make other series feel like "easy mod" when you jump back to them.

    I tip my hat to you 👍grinding from 2k to 4k is one thing but 5k to 8k is gonna be a grind, low sof races = low IR gain or tanking 100 IR in one race if you get crashed out, and high sof races are fought tooth and nail at the pointy end ......good luck hope you make it by march ✌

      @notdreadyet33 really depends what you are racing. In Oval you want it as wide as possible so you can see the frt bumper clearly to make changing lanes easier. In road you can run less. Think mine is around 90-100

    Would recommend you lock your fps to the minimum you get out on track so around 190/200fps from the looks of it. Helps give consistent frame timing which results in consistent input delay and an overall smoother feeling game. Should do this in any game you play whether it's a sim or other genre's that rely on precies timing of inputs
