The RaceRoom Ranked Server events have produced some of the best online sim racing I’ve had with plenty of close racing especially during the popular euro time slots.
Ranked racing is fantastic. Time after time it delivers, and it's got such a low bar to entry. Not expensive versus the competition, regular races, great combinations and the default setups on most cars are very driveable so you can hop straight in.
Totally agree! A superb entry level platform that also can also provide the detail right at the top level. Sim Racing is in a very good place at the moment 😎
I’ve just completed my 20th race and I’m still yet to be punted and I’ve only witnessed one crash in the rookie server. Most respectful online driving I’ve ever experienced! Since the FFB update and now finding out how great the servers are, I spend most of my time in R3E now! I’ve only raced the euro servers for reference.
I dont know about you but there is a lot of punting, mainly from rookies not knowing it's a ranked race and thinking it's a fun race. I cant count how many times ive made a legit pass and they dive bomb punt me to the barrier at the end of the straight.
@@sullythepankake9663 I honestly can’t relate to this. I’ve now had 27 races and I’ve been hit once last weekend at zandvoort in the F4’s. He got a bit brave hit my wheels and flew off and luckily I only had minor suspension damage. My safety rating is like 97 because I don’t dive bomb and I’ve been dive bombed once. I think where you qualify helps out and if you qualify with people with similar ratings you know you are in for a good race. If you have a bad quali and are stuck to the lower ranked mob, I can imagine that could be dangerous.
We can gloss over the fact that I inexplicably drove the wrong way whilst leading the second race 😂. Thanks Sunil, glad you are enjoying the content! All the best. - John
2:24 this track takes me.back to when I had the free version and was just doing random racing on a school computer. Keyboard vibes and bad divebombing nightmares lolz
@@TraxionGG there was this one car that was blue and screamed as loud as a indy car. I used to tear i up on the free tracks, and by that I mean I crashed lmao
Just came back to R3E after 3 years (because my pc couldn't handle it under win7). Just getting used to the differences between F1 2018 and R3E to avoid mistakes like last evening (forgot to put it in first gear at the start cause F1 2018 does that automatically) and some crashwd into me.
Great video, concise, informative, and really just what as I was looking for as someone interested in getting into sim racing. Thanks. Will definitely pick up this game as my first sim. Just need to get the wheel first. Soon.
It’s a great place to start. You will love the world of sim racing, main thing is to have a play around with plenty of different cars and tracks to see what you like. Then get some practice in and get online! Best of luck 😁
I am in this video actually ahah in the second race. This was one of my first ever ranked races I started the week before this, I’ve improved allot since then.
@@TraxionGG tbh its up there for me, as nothing really looks amazing in VR!!! I have my setting dialled for online large grids with a HP G2. I just posted the setting in the Raceroom discord VR-discussion channel should you need em
Anyone know why he understeers in every single turn or im just hallucinating? I'm extremely worse than him but this is giving me anxiety for some reason
Ahh that's frustrating! Hopefully, as the player base grows this will become less of an issue. Tricky thing is, you kind of need the numbers to bring in the numbers 🤔 - John
@@TraxionGG haha, i know i know - i wish i had more time to help seed the servers but my video gaming time is super limited so when i actually get a stretch of time enough for a race or two it's precious
@@buddhapest I can very much relate to that! I hope as more people get involved you get some stronger server numbers going in your time zone 💪🏼 Best of luck with your racing!
I am an avid iRacer and. tired of the shit drivers. Looking into RaceRoom. The graphics look very similar to AC. Would you say the graphics quality is similar to AC?
Raceroom is a great game, but they have failed to make ground in the US... part of this is the server issues that plagued the ability of players to get or stay connected, part of it is the complete lack of a marketing department, let alone a paid support staff.... technically R3 is a good game/sim, but reality is that it is a Suspension company that dabbles with a racing game... if the owners treated it as an enterprise with potential, they migth just do a bti better gasining the share of the potential audience.
Raceroom is shit. It is to harsh. Good fun when you first star and your building your rep and safety. But it is to harsh after that and that is to frustrating for me. Daily ranked is full of idiots who punt to pass and can't drive. Damage is a joke. Keep clear of this game. If you want to stay sane. I get to 1770/90 then no joy. Back to ACC what is also rubbish. Can't afford i racing but that looks as bad. I hope this new sim coming up next year is better or I'm giving up all together.

its free lol
It has A LOT of potential for sure. I really hope more and more people will realise that in the near future...

Raceroom has become my go to place to race. Love it.
Bought the full content for just under 40 notes (worked out cheaper with VRP) I love it. Hopefully we get more players for more splits.
This 10 year old racing sim still beats most off much newer games.
Lockdown has introduced promising new sim-racing channels on UA-cam. Nice driving by the way. Keep it up 👍

Just picked up all the content for £50 and am looking forward to delving in.

@@camerawithwings8607 it was a special offer but they do them quite often

It’s come a long way since then! I loved race 07 on a keyboard back in the day, was immense fun!
@@TraxionGG there was this one car that was blue and screamed as loud as a indy car. I used to tear i up on the free tracks, and by that I mean I crashed lmao
Guess I'm installing this tonight!!
Worth a try for sure!

Ah nice! Glad to hear it, best of luck with your racing 😊
absolutely loving RR ranked races atm
I've noticed you have been playing a lot of it recently! How is it for VR relative to it's rivals? That's one thing I haven't tried yet.
@@TraxionGG tbh its up there for me, as nothing really looks amazing in VR!!! I have my setting dialled for online large grids with a HP G2. I just posted the setting in the Raceroom discord VR-discussion channel should you need em
RR is CPU limited though, so experiences vary considerably for VR.
Cool, the fact that you can comfortably use it for online races is a good sign! I'm a big fan of the HP G2 as well, glad you are enjoying it 😎
Just a note: "Elo ratings" are not E-L-O ratings. It actually refers to the Hungarian mathematician, Arpad Elo.
I did not know that! Thanks very much :)
Great fun to watch ... _thanks!_
More R3E and John
For the constant updates and work the Studio is doing, I am more than willing to pay 5 €, every 1 or 2 month. (for cars/tracks)
yes more Race room please
I Just love this game.
Looks nice, installing rn
Great video but could you do one maybe explaining vrp and otterhud.
I think if they put rain and night racing in this game it would be awesome
Agreed!
My only problem is I worry about the Rating shit too much and I hate the incident points caused by being rear ended it kinda annoys me
How do you see your rankings?
Anyone know why he understeers in every single turn or im just hallucinating? I'm extremely worse than him but this is giving me anxiety for some reason
the points obtained by the first 10 player in the ranked multiplayer are accumulated ??
i think it's just preparation for when championship series are introduced. there doesn't appear to be any use for it at the moment
@@HalStargazer 👍👍👍👏👏
ranked in sim racing is all about participation count for me. I'm just not finding enough people to race against in my tz :(

Join 420 Racing League on IGP Manager!
Can u link?
Local lobbies are pretty empty Australian evenings and ping not low enough to race on euro servers.
That's a shame! Hopefully the numbers get bigger in time :)
New here, better than Iracing? Why? Thank you :-)

Will move to RaceRoom from ACC because of default setup of each car is suck. You never win if you play againts tuned car.
Just in case you didn't know, there are a lot of free setups you can get from UA-cam or communities if you wanted some for free.
@@TraxionGG Thanks, I know that but I don't like No setup/ No win.
Race SIM should be just race. You are the driver not the engineer.
@@MenniePlay I really agree with this
you can definitely win on the open servers without a setup.
I still dont understand how the ranking works...
lol.
Real or sim still got microsleep😅😅
The actual sim has a great feel but I don't like the pov...doesn't seen natural in cockpit view...shame
Raceroom is a great game, but they have failed to make ground in the US... part of this is the server issues that plagued the ability of players to get or stay connected, part of it is the complete lack of a marketing department, let alone a paid support staff.... technically R3 is a good game/sim, but reality is that it is a Suspension company that dabbles with a racing game... if the owners treated it as an enterprise with potential, they migth just do a bti better gasining the share of the potential audience.
Compared with aseto corsa is crap.
ranked is the worst ever even if others crash in to u u get accident points also even u cant do nothing at it
First
does not separate by split. a maximum of players in a server.👎
Daily longer races do add servers as they fillup as do weekly events
Raceroom is shit. It is to harsh. Good fun when you first star and your building your rep and safety. But it is to harsh after that and that is to frustrating for me. Daily ranked is full of idiots who punt to pass and can't drive. Damage is a joke. Keep clear of this game. If you want to stay sane. I get to 1770/90 then no joy. Back to ACC what is also rubbish. Can't afford i racing but that looks as bad. I hope this new sim coming up next year is better or I'm giving up all together.
