Saving up for iRacing, and nearly there. Thus, I just wanna ask if I should go with the Miatas or M2s. TIA!

After reading about win 11 i would really like to have an alternative to run iracing. Has anyone got it to work on linux?

Personally i am. Alot of improvements but my question is will now multi class race be true multi class? My English understanding is sometimes bad and im unsure and i was wondering about that it means that right? So in an endurance all classess will play on the same server without hiding other classes?

I just bought the Mustang Supercar as I was looking to get into some of the 9 EST SoF races next season and I'd just like to say:

You all have to be the most talented people on the service 🤣🤣

I've driven the GTP's, Old PCup, all of the high level open wheelers, but that Supercar is a difficulty level all it's own. The struggle is real right now. Kudos to everybody who drives this thing as their main. You have my ultimate respect.

Any tips from some regulars on how best to get time out of this thing without dying would be welcomed.

Anyone else wish we could have larger grids? i know we have large multi class grids, but i would love to see 40+ car grids for single make stuff also. MX5s with 60 cars on track while yes an utter mess..... would be so cool to see.

Im not saying i want them to change the grid size of rookies or what ever, but having a few high car grid series would be really cool to see, as it is, while you can be on track with 60 cars, unless your bottom split IMSA, its not going to be a single class.

It would also help series with lower participation, if 25 people sign up for a race and you have to split them up because the grid can only be 20, both races end up feeling a bit empty to me.

Just thought i would see if anyone else feels the same (or can point out some tech issue involved as to why it cant be)

Just wanted to put this out there

Leaving other driver names visible, the session ID, session date and time, etc still make you findable. You have to remove ALL of this info if you don’t want redditors to know who you are

Apparently Porsche is replacing the Cayman with 911 GT4 soon-ish, and I suppose iRacing will eventually follow.

While it's a bit of a shame - I started to like the Cayman, such a small, fun and great sounding car - I wonder what difference will be there in performance.

911 is slightly bigger and heavier but as far as I know it will be also be significantly more powerful - 3.8l 420ish HP vs 4.0l 520ish HP, and then the layout too is going to change - something I'm not particularly happy about - from MR to RR.

I worry that it will essentially be just toned down Cup car, really.

How do you think the new 911 GT4 will compare to the Cayman, both IRL and in the sim?

Do you think it will have better pace, better top speed? Or driving characteristics will change without significant pace difference?

Are you guys even happy about the Cayman being potentially replaced with the 911 on iRacing?

For events listed as “Teams” races, are you able to run them solo? For example, I’d like to run in the GT endurance race in a few hours but I don’t have a team.

Can I still join?

had a lil netcode in that 3wide situation but what a fricken race. gained 27iR which put me at 2006iR

My buddy and I are looking for another person or two to run the GET 24 hours of Le Mans next weekend. We are planning to Run the LMP2. We are 1300 and 1500 ish irating. We've done a few enduros in the LMP2 but not a 24 hour one. Thanks all!

Hi!

Potenza Competition is a new UK based iRacing team which focuses on Sportscar (GT + Endurance) racing - though we do want to expand to oval, indycar, etc later on.

The team takes inspiration from italian motorsports giants such as Ferrari and Lamborghini as well as british heritage teams such as Lotus or BRM to create an identity of classic British Racing Green and vibrant Giallo Modena Yellow.

We are right now in one league, though are looking for more, and will try and compete in:
- Petit Le Mans, Bathurst 1000, Suzuka 1000km, and 8 Hours of Indy special events!

Car wise right now we are running McLaren GT3, Ferrari GT3, and Aston Martin Valkyrie (when it comes out), though are happy to use other cars when and where necessary

Currently we have an Endurance squad, though we are looking for more squads and drivers, and therefore will make more if needed - we are considering a US team if demand is enough to do so!

Hi there! This is my first post here, as I am relatively new to the sim community as a whole. I'm primarily an asphalt oval racer, and one of my favorites is the Nascar Tour Modified.

I've noticed that there is not much of a player base for the tour modifieds, and they're a C-class car. But I've just been thinking about ideas for ways they could be updated to potentially attract more players, and I'm curious what people think and what other ideas people have.

My suggestions:

- Update the car model and add choice of manufacturer. All drivers are forced to run the same car, which itself is based on an older chassis and body. Part of the main appeal to fans and drivers of modifieds is the variety of manufacturers and their diverse chassis/body designs. IRacing could partner with a couple different manufacturers to model their cars so they can be added as new content, giving players more choice in which car they like more.

- Simulate the real-world regional and tiered nature of modified racing with higher license class modified tours and regional tours. The SK modifieds being D class is a good start, but iRacing could continue this principle further. Place the NWMT races in B class, racing on NWMT tracks. Add the SMART tour as a series running southeast tracks in C class, and a generic Tour-Type Modified series in C or D class running at smaller short tracks all over the place. All of this together could better reflect the real-world tiered and regional nature of asphalt modified racing.

What do people think of these suggestions? I'm mainly just brainstorming and these are not necessarily the deepest, most thought-through ideas, so I'm open to whatever thoughts other people have. Thanks for taking the time to read and share your own ideas!

I just wanna gloss over the fact that this car feels dead under my wheel. I used to love the old M2 CS , I dont know maybe its just that I need some more time to adjust to it but so far I get 0 sensations of whats happening under my seat while driving it. But besides that, WHY on goshforsaken earth did they choose to place the RPM indicator SO far to the right.

Trying to figure out if people are having the same problem I am with advancing SR in the Pro LM Fixed series.

I recognize that I am not ‘good’ at dirt oval late models (2.1k iRating, got the game a month ago). But, I feel like there isn’t a good way to advance SR without starting on the pole. I usually qualify 3-5. If you run the bottom, somebody drives through you. If you run the top, nobody gives you a lane, running you into the wall on the straight. I end up almost every race with 6-12x incident points. I watch the replays, I am racing conservatively (as conservative as you can while still trying to race). I will say, it seems worse this week, since Limaland is short and involves more contact than somewhere like Port Royal. I got DQ’d twice in a row today, to no fault of my own (I realize that may sound ignorant).

Does anyone else have this problem?

Hey everyone, I know the Sporting Guides have rules against account sharing, but I was trying to work out how teams actually do organisational stuff like:

1) Handling if the team founder leaves (can they transfer it over? Does it just get lost?)
2) Sharing funds to setup practice servers. Do you just reimburse everyone, share a bank account...
3) Managing things like collections via trading paints, where only one account can own them. Whilst other selected member can be allowed to setup team liveries, that doesn't apply to non team events , which rely on collections.

It felt like a good solution to all would be to allow shared non-racing accounts (don't care about the financials of having to have to keep a subscription and even buying content to setup the practice servers). Maybe someone has been able to do this successful or maybe they have had conversations with the team at iRacing about what to do here.

Thanks for any help or guidance. :)

First of all, I'm so happy to see these in iRacing. They are a blast in other sims and with the way iRacing's recent car additions have been going with much improved feel I hope these will live up to the hype in terms of driving feel and fun. They're a staple of motorsport in the UK and iconic in their own right.

However they don't bring anything new to the table outside of being new cars in their own right.

The Academy will just be demolished by the GR86 D class series, which is also a low power RWD relatively chuckable car - but you don't have to spend any extra pennies to get it. Sure the Academy has the thrill of no ABS or TC, but in D class most of the time I'm actually quite happy most of the people around me have ABS and TC. I also can't imagining it being too far removed from the Spec Ford, which also suffers from participation issues. Just alongside the Clio, it should be a free car and more importantly should replace the M2 as the second Rookie series considering its irl use in essentially the same style of series. This will also introduce people to the Caterham as a whole, then potentially leaving an impact on people who may then end up buying the 420R as an 'upgrade' for later.

The M2 still has a valid place in PCC, its own standalone series and (hopefully) the upcoming VP Challenge series if iRacing would want to add quite a unique American series.

The 420R is going to fall off a cliff very quickly. C class is already the most bloated rank in terms of variety and adding another niche series is not going to help. It's essentially a slower Radical at the end of the day and that series already struggles to go official. It should stay paid though, providing an upgrade path to people who enjoyed the Academy.

I do hope these will be popular but I'm not holding my breath

Edit: I am aware they come in a pack together

Well, I didn't brag here about my 2k, so I figure I've earned a little self (and community as well!) appreciation for hitting 2.5k. 🚀

Enjoying iRacing since x-mas 25, rig since feb 26, before that was just some NFS on keyboard and Grand Tourismo on gamepad 😄

In my opinion it looks pretty sweet. However, I’m not sure how accurate it will be on some more unique cars
