mjkproductions Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Couldn't find another thread on this, so here we go. I've been sick all weekend, and found myself watching a lot of iRacing videos. Back when I first wanted it in 2010, I didn't have enough money to actually play the game with how much it costs. Well... I finally bought it. Is there any advice that the more experienced here can give me? So far I have all the normal starting content, along with the Chevy Impala Nationwide car and the K&N car. Can't wait to play it!

Stephen Hopkins Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 As a rookie its better to finish last then to to hit walls and run into people and win. Wins in iracing count towards nothing, if you wreck 5 people to win your going to pay a very big price. Just run a clean race, let faster cars by and have a very watchful eye out in front of you for people that suck and are on the verge of wrecking.

Connor Richardson Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 What kind of price would you have to pay? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkproductions Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 So here's my first practice session, along with quite the overcorrection and crash at the end.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 This is just my opinion, race in something slower than the B car until you learn to hold a line and learn the racing line... You won't learn much driving around in the B car about racing lines etc.. Not to mention before going into T1 you should be up against the wall (2-3 inches) coming out of the trioval. Quick vid of how to run the line around there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkproductions Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks for the help with the line. Other people are so fast around tracks... I learned to step down classes very very quickly, I'm racing Street Stocks at the USA Intl Speedway mostly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SealedGecko Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Don't worry that's not too bad, all Eric remembers about my time playing iRacing is the day I hit a parked car, he probably has a video of it around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Hopkins Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I will also say finish the race no matter what, even if your 15 laps down finish the race Since you asked on one of my videos this is the custom paint thread on the iracing fourms, It tells you how to do it http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/1452036.page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkproductions Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 "Hey bro I see you going to my high side... lemme turn high too!" The lack of intelligence in my first race goes unmatched over anything else I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
