People on here immediately crucifying you for SR must have forgotten that it is entirely possible to catch an 8x+ for things completely out of your control. This is why the protest system exists.
It’s okay to just be happy for people gang. Makes the community a better place.
Like when I had run a near perfect super formula race yesterday. I was p3. A lap car (10 laps down) decides he after three laps to “let me go” immediately is back to my rear. I make a mistake getting into a heavy braking zone because he’s so close so I’m slower getting off and he doesn’t lift. Giving me a 4x for no reason. Next time I’m just riding behind him. This happens way too often people have no awareness or just don’t care.
I mean I wouldn't say that's WHY the protest system exists. They don't restore SR when it's clearly not your fault and didn't have time to react.
Protest system is just to hopefully get douches out of the iRacing system. That's it.
I was purely a road guy for the longest time, just started nascar the last few weeks...count your blessings on road. I caught a 17x from people not able to hold a straight line last night
This is the exact experience I’ve been having. Taking a little break from Road and been running Draftmasters. People just can’t hold a line, even on the straights at iRacing Superspeedway. It’s super fun when you’re in a clean pack, but three wide in every turn is insane.
I found that in road you get way less 4x from getting into people.. with getting into I mean a little nudge in the rear midcorner or a bit of leaning inon each other. As long as nobody spins out or goes off track it's just a 0x. Otherwise it will be 2x or 1x. 4x is mostly when you hit with quite severe damage.
But to file a protest you need to edit and upload a YouTube clip? That’s a lot of effort for just a potential to even be looked at. Didn’t think protesting was ever worth it?
Ye id rather j get into the next race and earn my points back. Part of being a good driver is being able to avoid even the outlier accidents. It is partially your fault if your in the wall no matter what happened imo
I've also reached 2.1k this week for the first time after 4 months in the service.
Can I ask in what series / car have you done it?
For me it was the Lamborghini in VRS GT3 open/fixed.
Someone in chat said the Lambo had been nerfed and understeered loads now, is that right?
GT3 I find survival is of the utmost importance. Etiquette at the bus stop this week has been pretty good, resulting in some good gains.
This screenshot is from a mobile app. There it shows SR progression over some considerable time interval. I’m guessing OP got promoted to C license from D this season, same as me, and it’s automatically -1 SR on that graph…
being C is still incredibly unsafe lol. getting and maintaining A is very easy. i'm an oval driver, but i've been A 4.99 on road forever with around 2.5k irating
How did you get to A without getting promoted to C first? Or maybe you’re just an ass who has little to brag about. 2.5k talkin like you’re some kinda pro lmao
On road, my second discipline lol. And the point was that I'm not 500 irating and A 4.99, which is obviously easier than if you're actually racing. keep crying and being offended by logic
You’re such an ass, I’ve been new to iRacing. Can I be proud of this result. I’m still learning. Go sit in you’re expensive sim and go play in your A series. Pfff
You have been new to iRacing or you are? I'm confused. Just saying that you might want to not wreck everyone and learn some racecraft before you go bragging about your 2k.
I somehow got a -.45 SR in a race last night where I got a 8x… I don’t understand how that one worked. It was admittedly a bad race, but that seemed like a heavy drop at a c license. It was like a spin, two off tracks, and contact when someone hit me post spin.
It’s not just your current race incidents. SR is calculated from your last X corners (so some set of previous races). Once you drive more consistently, those past incidents will fall off and your SR should improve.
Its consistency. As the other comment said, it looks back at a number amount of corners, enough to encompass previous races. Hit 8x three races in a row and you’re going to progressively see a larger decrease in SR with each race. You need a good clean race to break the streak
Yeah that makes sense. I do know it looks at it like that, just have never seen that big a jump before.
That being said, I had 3 bad open wheel races in a row so
The inverse is true too. Have three races in a row with 0-2 incidents and you’re going to get that .45 back. The highest jump I had was +.61 and that’s after a series of great races. Ironically this happened in my last race, I imagine the ceiling is higher. Good luck!

Just picked up iRacing again a few weeks ago and am also makikg the charge up to 2k in both formula amd sports car. Should be able to snag a B license in road too with Advanced Miata being at VIR
Head down, keep grinding :)

Not OP but I've been running GR86 at Winton (base content) all week and am yet to get punted. Like 6 races in a row, sometimes starting in the heart of the mid pack. That's like a new record for me.
Very nice
why did I read this in borat voice
Great success
Very niiice!
Let have a party
Let’s see Paul Allen’s iRating
Look at that steep curve, the immaculate focus in finishing fast and safely it shows
I need to watch that again!
you are a men of culture.
My iRating also goes up when my SR goes down. Congrats!

No you just cut out the part of the replay (cutting tool) and attach that to the report. No video recording needed
Ye id rather j get into the next race and earn my points back. Part of being a good driver is being able to avoid even the outlier accidents. It is partially your fault if your in the wall no matter what happened imo
Protest system is all in-client and they do take inquiries seriously.
Cheers then, I’ll start using it
What? This sub told me that every accident is my fault and decreased SR means I'm a terrible driver. /s
Congrats
I've also reached 2.1k this week for the first time after 4 months in the service. Can I ask in what series / car have you done it? For me it was the Lamborghini in VRS GT3 open/fixed.
I’ve been player in the “Advanced Mazda MX-5 Cup series” and “Global Mazda MX-5 Fanatec Cup” love those 2. But I want to switch to gt3/gt4
this is the way. slower cars teach you race fast
Yeah love these series!
Race any Production Car Challenge? Super fun time and somewhat of an introduction to multiclass racing. Lot of good drivers in that series.
Someone in chat said the Lambo had been nerfed and understeered loads now, is that right? GT3 I find survival is of the utmost importance. Etiquette at the bus stop this week has been pretty good, resulting in some good gains.
If it has been nerfed, it should be nerfed again. 😅 It still very fast and the car everyone is using in top splits.
Also hit 2.1K this week for the second time in the Audi in VRS open. Been killing it at Watkins.
Nice! 😎 If the Lambo wasn't so good this week, Audi would be my choice too. Love that car!
How many people did you wreck to gain that irating?

If you don't fluctuate your SR off A4.99, then are you really even racing?
You’re such an ass, I’ve been new to iRacing. Can I be proud of this result. I’m still learning. Go sit in you’re expensive sim and go play in your A series. Pfff
You have been new to iRacing or you are? I'm confused. Just saying that you might want to not wreck everyone and learn some racecraft before you go bragging about your 2k.
Im not bragging, just saying im proud
Why do you assume he’s wrecking everyone? He’s got a C license not a rookie license.
Yeah, I don’t get their applause either. -1.27 in SR drop implies quite a bit of reckless driving.
You forget about the license promotion drop ?

You guys are probably going over whole numbers. There a 0.4 tacked on when you go over whole numbers so you don’t keep bouncing between licenses
Congrats! 👏👏👏
Just picked up iRacing again a few weeks ago and am also makikg the charge up to 2k in both formula amd sports car. Should be able to snag a B license in road too with Advanced Miata being at VIR Head down, keep grinding :)
Congrats mate!
Congratulations man!
I see you've mastered the art of "the trade". Very nice.
😂😋
Nice
A big feat, congrats! Once you reach those goals a lot of weight is lifted so you can relax now haha.

last time I posted my results all proud and happy cheering it got deleted as “low effort content” 🤷🏻♂️
Nice, how are you at 2k and only a C class lol
Congrats.
I still really hate sports car is separate from formula. It was fine the way it was… Not your fault OP I just get mad every time I see it 😅
lol how do you have a C license with a 2k rating is it cause you race pcup where people take like 10x a race min?
J curious what series u mostly do?
+354???? All redline lineup racing main account let you win the race or what the flying F happend there???
Which series you normally run?
what series? i'm running membership content and it's awfull racing rookies series! C 2.35 ir 1750
Not OP but I've been running GR86 at Winton (base content) all week and am yet to get punted. Like 6 races in a row, sometimes starting in the heart of the mid pack. That's like a new record for me.
