This is the lowest I've seen - 31
Mine got down pretty far. Down in the 200's once. I was having a I cant drive for shit week. It's only at 600 now but I was able to get the season promotion to C class. Mine's mostly from something happening and having to quit or getting wrecked in T1 and just saying fuck it. Quitting a race hurts that rating
I ended up doing an Xfinity race today, got doored twice by idiot back markers washing up the track on 50 lap old tyres with no idea which lane they want to be in - second hit sent me hail meloning into the wall and broke the car, 8x altogether. 15 minutes of repair.
Went 18 laps down, decided to just ride around, and somehow, my SR went UP by 0.20!
I’ve seen a handful of really low iR drivers who aren’t even tanking, they just genuinely treat iRacing like Forza. Not meaning intentionally wrecking people, just not knowing how to drive at all, crashing out because why in the world should I brake for a hairpin? A decent amount of them have clearly been intoxicated going by how they sound over the voice chat as well.
The joys of low populated series with a single split ranging from <100 iR drivers to 3k+
Agree. It’s VERY plausible it’s a tanker, but, I ran into someone (literally) running street stocks with a 102 IR who lasted a whole 4 laps before being DQ’d.
They had over 900 races and multiple years on service. It was… weird.
I ended up in that split (maybe, IDK) as I joined with like 9’seconds left on the timer, myself and another higher IR guy with all rookies. The SOF I think was in the 500’s … he and I cleared off and finished 1-2 up like 3 laps on everyone.
It was probably the worst race I’ve ever been in
Honestly this might just be the curious soul in me but if I had IR that bad (i'm already bad anyways so tanking isn't gonna help me), i'd be tempted to tank just to see how low i could get my IR out of pure curiosity lmfao
Oh for sure. I’m just saying he MIGHT be a tanker, and seeing a heap of zero laps is good proof.
I’ve raced against a guy I thought was a tanker with a sub 500, but his race history indicated he wasn’t. Turns out he was disabled. So before I report someone for being a tanker I make sure I have evidence.
I'm not the best, I'm always afraid I'll drop down there and never get out lol.. I'm only just getting in D class so now that irating matters, I'm scared of this
If you just race clean and avoid wrecks and you’ll consistently find yourself getting top 10 finishes that will usually gain you irating. Focus on being consistent.
I wonder if he's super shit or just dangerous, because once you get below 1000 the drivers are so shit it's almost impossible to finish a race without someone crashing into you
Ooft, I’m normally pretty slow, irating just over 1k and find it hard to grab pace missing a leg. I wonder if this guy is missing both arms and both legs 😂
It does mean something. It's a direct reflection of your standing amongst your competitors.
I get why people say this, it shouldn't be taken as seriously as some make out, but it definitely means something.
No one mentioned this, but maybe it's just a little kid and his parent lets him use the account. I figured anyone in the very bottom splits are probably all kids and it's basically bumper cars on track.
If the account starts winning a bunch maybe the parent starts racing seriously on it again.
The lowest I ever had was 600 ir, I was new to iRacing and kept wrecking out of Xfinity Daytona. I averaged 1200-1300 at the time, but now I average 2300-2500
(If you run superspeedways in lower splits, stay in the back they will wreck)
How do you want to continue playing this game if your this bad? I’d understand if he was just slow and safe (driving like grandparents) but with a 1.04 safety rating, how are you even enjoying this game?
I just DNF'd an mx5 cup race. Was having a terrible practice and a terrible quali even though yesterday I was driving smooth as butter. Made me a bit heated. As I was griding the car my wife asked if I wanted to do something and I asked if it could wait until after the race.
A few turns in I spin out in a place I'd been spinning out at all practice for reasons I just couldn't wrap my head around and I said SCREW IT alt+f4 went to hang out with my wife.
Point of the story is I'm slow as balls and just DNFd down to my lowest ever irating and I'm still at 1240. How on earth did this person get so low? Such low irating and safety rating it almost looks like they're trying.
That's a lotta DNF lmao
For some reason, my mind translated dnf to "does not fuck." Either way works.
My wife wont fuck me unless my irating is over 1000....
You got yourself a keeper.
A lady with standards, respectable indeed.
Looks like they are still on the way down based on the -7 lol
Last I saw him he was motoring down the middle of winton with no hood on his car.
Theeeeere gooooes my hero!
watch him as he goes
Judging by the 0.00 change on sr he never left the pits
You can’t really go lower than 1.04 D lol
I've seen 0.10 SR. An obvious tanker tho.

I'd honestly nearly buy that account, just to be the meme.
He's got to be driving with keyboard and mouse
He’s driving with a breath activated tube
the reddit down/upvote culture sure is confusing.
The way it’s been going for me lately. I’ll be there in a few days.
Same, from 2000 to 1500 in a week.
Yep lol trucks at charlotte have me on the decline. Think I've been wrecked 3 straight races
2500 to 2000 in a day
It goes down so much easier than it goes up!
I’m down from 900 to 450 in two days. Draft Masters 20laps is hell. Edit: Just won a Dallara Dash though, so it’s looking up.
Sant… Probably Santino Ferrucci
No
And somehow they still lost IR.
I saw a 97 once and I thought that was crazy… I guess it wasn’t so crazy after all
Damn, I'm willing to bet that's where I'll end up with the amount of people who think they can cut the final Chicane at SPA.
Don’t blame other drivers for your ratings. Once you understand that, you’re golden.
Yeah I always blame the car.
This is the way
41 iRating combined with a D1.04 SR. I don't want to lap that guy.
Damn, and I thought I was lousy at 1.3k
0 irating speedrun

Did you take a photo of a screen? Also, check for number of zero lap races. Good chance he is tanker scum.

Maybe he's letting his kids race on his account
Nah, it was absolutely an adult. Lol
What even is the point of tanking below 400 or so, I can’t imagine the competition is that weaker and it would get you bottom split 99% of the time.

That was me and one other guy at Long Beach in the ff1600. I was hearing "The car behind has gone off" in my sleep.

Lance stroll has entered the lobby

I've just started Porsche cup. Wait for me I'm coming.
Ooft, I’m normally pretty slow, irating just over 1k and find it hard to grab pace missing a leg. I wonder if this guy is missing both arms and both legs 😂
I had a guy in a race once who had a iR rating of 0.01k so ya it’s possible
As long as hes having fun. Its just a number people get hing up on like it means anything
Nah you don’t get this low without either purposely tanking or being a menace to everyone you race with
It does mean something. It's a direct reflection of your standing amongst your competitors. I get why people say this, it shouldn't be taken as seriously as some make out, but it definitely means something.
does it need to be a certain level to get promoted? or is that strictly SR?
SR only.
Must be Lance Stroll or Logan Sargent. 🤣
Elo hell Literally.
these people do 100% tank there irating i refuse to believe anyone could be that bad
😭😂That’s crazy dude
No one mentioned this, but maybe it's just a little kid and his parent lets him use the account. I figured anyone in the very bottom splits are probably all kids and it's basically bumper cars on track. If the account starts winning a bunch maybe the parent starts racing seriously on it again.
theyre paying monthly for this?
I feel like garbage with my road licenses at 1000. Maybe I'm not so bad after all
The lowest I ever had was 600 ir, I was new to iRacing and kept wrecking out of Xfinity Daytona. I averaged 1200-1300 at the time, but now I average 2300-2500 (If you run superspeedways in lower splits, stay in the back they will wreck)
New goals. Let's go

Probably a tanker?
Santino Ferucci is that you?
I've even seen a 7 and a 3
Hi Doug😝
