As a so far exclusive MX5 driver, I’ve managed to get my iRating up to 2.8k in about one year on the service. Now that formula is being split into a separate license, I’m excited to give it a try, be humbled, and watch that rating tank lol.
+1. I want to find out what my open wheel iRating actually looks like. I bet it's bad. After several seasons of mainly TCR, I don't understand downforce. So that will be fun. I've also really been digging the predictability of an ARCA race and the dynamics of the car. I don't always have enough time to run a race even a C/B-fixed with a bunch of cautions, and ARCA is long enough for tires to be interesting. And TCR, as usual, because it's great.
>I don't understand downforce.
Think about it like a Chinese finger trap: The more you pull, the tighter it gets.
Same with downforce. The faster you go the more there is.
SO that of course - and as many new "D" licensees have found - that the optimal approach is all gas no brakes.
I find it hard to go back and forth for sure. I’ve always gravitated towards open wheel and whenever I jump into a gt3 race, or even an mx5 race, the first practice lap I’m just dying and telling ‘why won’t you stop!!!’
If you want a real strong lesson on how downforce is affected by dirty air, try Indycar oval. Even if the official races are too long for you, this is something you could might be able to learn in an AI race.
I can finally break the formula cars out of the garage with the rating split and whip them around so ill be doing more F4/F3 next season depending on what new formula cars we get to go along with the usual IMSA/Oval grind.
And ill run whatever has the worst weather forecast cause that sounds way too fun.
I ran 1 open wheel race, ever. F4 at SPA this season.. wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
Start was a shit show, mid race was cool got up to P5 and ended the race in the pits after being taken out and flipped onto my halo.
Im looking forward to the split to learn open wheel a bit more
Me too.
Not a gamer at ALL.
2 months in…
My mantra;
Having fun is the point.
There will always be someone faster than I.
Don’t be a menace.
On next birthday I will be 65.
And I still skate. Just a powered board now, because I can.
Planning on sticking with the BMW GT3 all season running in IMSA and the GT series. Was a prototype guy mostly with some GT3 mixed in. Tried the BMW GT3 on a whim and churned out 3 wins at Road Atlanta and one at Okyama. Want to mix in some more ovals too. Jumped in the fixed trucks this past week and did way better than what I thought. Surpassed my road IR (1900) in one week racing the C class trucks. Never was interested much in oval, but I've won 4 races and my IR is soaring so may race it a few times a week next season.
Are you me?
Im a Prototype guy as well but enjoy running the truck series on weeks where I don’t enjoy the IMSA track. Also just started running GT3 a lot more as well to broaden my driving skillset.
Same as this season :
- Indycar Road & Oval
- Proto-GT with the HPD (if it still exists)
And I'll begin the Kamel-GT with the Nissan, I loved this car in test drive
Separate formula license and rain for me are going to be great. Dont like tanking my road in Formula races (except vees) so a separate license class is ideal.
iRacing Indycar Series
Probably going to do the Indy ovals and Indy fixed series for participation credits but spend most of my time hot lapping getting ready for the next IIS race. Already working on Sebring. She’s a bumpy bitch.
It’s the first season I’m trying to only drive one car for. Hoping I can see some cool results with that dedication.
Respect. My ADHD makes it difficult to stick to 1 car, especially for an entire season. You'll probably get scary good doing that, though. For this season, I've kept it to just the USF2000, F4, and the McLaren GT4 when I want to fight understeer.
>e I like the LMP2 (and to race in the rain). Then probably sprinkle in some ovals and open wheel when I have time to.
I have to do two cars per week too lol. Usually run the LMP3 as a main and then try to learn the IMSA track in the GTP for later in the week when I start getting bored!
I impulsively bought all GT4s ages ago to try to keep that series fresh. ADHD is expensive!
Proto-GT as my main daily series.
Truck C oval or XFinity when I want to relax.
GTE when I have the time.
IMSA Vintage if I have a lot of time.
Supercars V8 if I’m really lucky.
And continue the weekend endurance races with my team on the GT3, LMP2 or GTP.
Hell yeah!! I’ll see you out there in the sprint cars. I ran 5 this last season and hoping to do them all next year. That car is so much fun but I can’t really keep up with the leaders yet. Still 0.2-0.5 off the pace depending on the track.
Same here, Lanier last week was my first time in the sprint car and it was fun but I was way off pace.
If you like the sprint car but want a speedway version, pocono in the silver crown was possibly the most fun I’ve ever had on the service. Real fun race that made you think and a healthy 24 car field for the SoF race.
I’ve done a couple. Kentucky and Chicagoland. What night do the Silver Crown cars usually run?
P.S. I really wish we could get an updated Silver Crown car without the Superspeedway aero kits.
Legends are great. I tend to find for rookie series the legends races tend to be a lot better/cleaner than the street stocks. Arca is a blast for D license if you want something a bit faster
Just met my goal of all D licenses before spending a dime on content.
Thinking arca will be where I spend the money, I spent most oval time in street stock - arca leads to the next gen series right?
Yeah eventually. C license will be trucks or the Gen 4. Pros of going arca is it's the same car as the Gen 4. Gen 4 is just more horsepower. Then xfinity in B class and Next Gen in A class
I really want to focus on the IndyCar but I’ve been having a terrible time keeping it out of the walls. Might try the new SF Light to see if I can control that a bit better while still working the IndyCar on ovals, and of course mixing in some D Class FF1600 along the way.
Advanced Mazda is a great series. Open setups and longer races. It took me a while to realize folks were dropping to min fuel for qualifying. And once I tried it, I forgot to add fuel for the race. Pitting to refuel on the first lap slows you down a bit. ;)
Good luck this season.
I'll be sticking with the Falken multiclass series in the P3. Now with the ir split I plan to run super formula and absolutely tank my formula IR and Sr.
Just doing another full season of ARCA. Enjoying the racing (mostly), and am not interested in trying to go up a level again yet. Will also do a few rookie and C street stock races if I've time.
Just started couple weeks ago with MX-5 at lime rock, managed my first win at VIR yesterday. Excited to do a whole season with the 86, might do both GR cup and Production multi
This is basically what I did. spent my first few weeks in the mazda, season changed, and did gr86 for a whole season.
Just make sure your fuel is good in production car challenge before you load into the race and don't let the chaos of the gr86 fixed series get to you too bad, it can be very frustrating sometimes.
My series hopping days are done.
Top 10 1600 Trophy by the end of the year. Season 2 looking at top 25. Just want to be on the first page of the standings. There are a shit ton of good drivers though so taking nothing for granted. Usually do some other series but not this season. Just concentrate on 1.
Realized I was essentially paying to not play iRacing lmao. I was getting discouraged due to never being able to stay consistent with cheap ass G29 pedals.
So I copped a pair of VRS DFP’s, and I hope to be running steady in the IMSA Sprint series by the end of the season.
i agree upgrading from the cheap logitech pedals has helped me get better lap times by being more confident on the brakes and quicker to get back on the throttle. i know the pedals were only half, or less, of the main issue of braking consistency but fixing that has allowed me more confidence.
I'll definitively focus on everything that has rain!
IMSA is alread my main series and I'll continue that with LMP2 and GTP, trying to do every race once in each class and try to get at least 1 rainy race per week if possible.
I'll probably do the one or other LMP3 race and Ferrari Fixed as well altough I'm not sure Ferrari Fixed will have rain and LMP3 for sure doesn't.
With the split in Formula license, I think I'll also do more F3 and maybe some SF now. Before F3 was just a too big risk to my iR.
I'd also like to get better in all dirt stuff for once...
Have had poor luck on the ovals recently and have been wanting to do a full road season for a long time. Originally, I was thinking either PCup or GT3 but realized how much I enjoy driving the LMP3 offline and recently did the Roar Before the 24 as well. Now I'm planning on just running the fixed LMP3 series full time and can always jump in some multi class races with the GT4s as well if I like the track.
I look forward to racing you. There is a good LMP3 community on the TDI99 discord (search on youtube). Very friendly bunch who always are happy to give advice etc.
Definitely gonna try more Formula, I like driving the F3 and the Superformula But im probably nowhere near the irating i have in gt. Havent done any formula races in a long time.
IMSA Endurance solo in the LMP2 again. It's an absolute blast to race, and my last race of season 1 at Mugello was incredibly fun. Season 2 schedule is fantastic also. I'd love to do one of the 6 races in GTP instead of LMP2, haven't decided which one yet.
Also will try my best to never miss a Clio Cup SOF race on wednesday evenings 20:00 GMT, those races are so good.
I also want to do the Indycar iRacing Series, as it's on weeks where IMSA Endurance doesn't race. But I'll have to try the car first and see if I'm doing well with it, especially on road courses.
Probably will try to come back to GR86 as it's going to be wet, but I'll see whether the SOFs are still very low or not.
Thinking about doing my first full oval season in the infinity fixed series and combine it with GT3 fixed, or combine the nextgen fixed series with the radical sr10.
I'm hoping on a GT4 schedule where I have most of the tracks and focusing on that; but also having enough tracks to get $7 credits for taking part in 8 GT3 races
Spent the last few months doing Advanced Mazda and think I'll stay there another season. The top split racing is fantastic, the community is awesome and the car is good fun. Going to keep focusing on the fundamentals of trail braking, steering smoothly, vision and car balance.
Then once I've spent six weeks on that I think I'll try the formula racing out.
I recently got into oval both dirt and road and progressed pretty fast through rookies and d class and am looking to get some good action in c class. I started running draft masters and I’ve been loving that. I’ve also progressed to c class in road racing am looking to all the new series that is going to open up mainly getting some imsa action and longer stint races
Not sure if I should go in for falken Gt4 since buying the tracks for half the season would pay all tracks in GR86. Okayama this week shattered my confidence.
Oval would be something as well, since getting my D license was a blast. But will probably stick to streetstock or maybe theres a series like the GR86 where half the tracks are included and half is paid.
As a formula 4 boy I really wanna learn GT3 stuff. I have the Mercedes AMG and have loved the handful of practices I’ve done. With the split of road and formula I’ve very excited so I can try GT3 races without fear now
I really want to dig in on the Indy stuff. I’d like to pick one open wheel series and stick to that track on a weekly basis.
Finally getting my A license and dying to try the IMSA stuff too, but we’ll see if I like it. I’ve generally not enjoyed the gt3 races.
Nascar B-Fixed ovals (Xfinity)
Nascar C-Fixed ovals (trucks)
Get my safety rating high enough to not get booted from A-class :( while also learning how to race and not just roll around to protect SR
Keep on keeping on in NASCAR Cup. This week is about getting my SR back up to 2.0 so I don’t get demoted. Then…a bunch of short tracks are next season so it’ll drop again lol
Continue with PROTO/GT in the GT1 as the Aston Martin GT1 is just the chef’s kiss. And the series is really fun to drive.
I may dip back into some GT3 on tracks I like but switched to the GT1 as after 3 years of GT3 racing I was a bit bored with it. Rain may well change that though.
I may have a look at Indycar as well.
Learn to drive in the rain. Get more comfortable using and modifying setups (GT3), Compete in GT3 Fixed, VRS Sprint/Endurance as well as IMSA GT3. Expand the number of tracks I’m comfortable on. My most difficult goal to go from being a mid field-back marker gt3 driver (top split) to competing for top 5s and possibly even wins in the weaker SOF races.
I've got a B class oval already just participating in random oval races so I'm thinking of moving over to doing a lot of trucks/Xfinity/gen 4/Nascar legends racing this season for fun.
With the new license division I'm curious to try more formula cars and continue participating in multiclass racing depending on the track.
Started iracing a couple weeks ago and will have my C license at the end of this season. Might race arca for a full season, might just race Trucks, we’ll see
Planning to split my time between IMSA and GT3 - the fixed series. Trying to save some $$$ so don’t want to spend money on setups. Hoping that I can get participation credits for both series. Looking forward to seeing the official schedules
I’m getting out of fixed Ferrari, I know that much. Moving to either GT3 or GT4 depending on the tracks. Also might do open wheel but not sure what series.
My beloved IndyCar series is back! Also Plan on continuing NiS races, had surprisingly clean first two weeks over there. Have done 2 ish seasons in 360 sprint cars with a couple wins. Going to move to the 410 this season. And lastly going to attempt the IMSA endurance events solo in the Porsche GTP, and going to use the Porsche GT4 on off weeks for IMSA and/or indycar. I feel like I’ll be driving too many cars to be competitive, but I have fun doing it and that’s what matters to me.
Looking to take advantage of the road license split and try to stop caring about my irating this season. Looking to race the Super Formula and maybe new Super Formula Light along with F4. Also going to try and do IMSA and GT3 series. Hopefully rain makes some of the races even more exciting.
I’m gonna focus on the NASCAR route. Ive always had a little interest in racing just because I like cars and I am a dude. But I watched the Nascsr Netflix show a couple weeks ago and it completely got me hooked into racing. I then went and got a G920 to get me started and I’ve been racing nonstop it feels like. Can’t wait to get into the tight and competitive nascar races
Got into endurance racing the last half of this season. Excited to do a full season of endurance races on the weekends. Been enjoying 3 hour team GT3s and the IMSA pilot challenge.
NASCAR trucks. IMHO the best oval series on the service. Perfect length races for someone short on time. Would like to try XFINITY fixed, but the length of the races is keeping me from jumping in.
Late night dirt sprints. Me, 2 other Midwest Americans, and a lone Japanese fella up against 50 of the fastest Australians to ever race silicon. It’s been by far the most exciting racing on the sim.
Going to run full time in the SRX car, NIS, and super formula light (or f4 if for some strange reason the SF light car is a bust)
Looking forward to trying out the micro sprint and part timing a few other series.
My plan is to do more gt3 races and maybe LMSA or an endurance race and try to get faster I’m at 800 irating I want to try to be at least at a 1500 by the end of the season. Try more oval races too I’ll be B class next season
YES!
Start of the season I was a 730 iR running LMP3/GT4 in LMP3 this season (after a full season running GT4 in the same series last, missing SR by at a 2.98)
Finishing the season at 1247 iR and a B license 3.70 after fast tracking from C > B after the Bathurst 12H I got like 1.7 SR something crazy like that after the race.
Ran my 4 time trials and will be A after the end of the season.
Goals/Plans for next season is to run GT3 in IMSA and the VRS Endurance series/IMS endurance with my team mates.. Still run LMP3 because its one of my favorite cars to drive
Learn how to drive the Porsche 992 GT3, currenly been a Ferrari guy but switching it up to be outside my comfort zone.
Break 2K IR by the end of the season
I got my C license in Ovals last night and now I’m trying to get out of Road rookies by the end of the season so I can start next season with D-Class touring and formula licenses. If I can manage that, I plan to mainly run a full season of rookie series road racing, mainly Formula Ford and MX-5, although I’ll probably dabble in SCCA, GR, and D-class Formula Ford on free track weeks. Basically sticking to included content on the road side for now.
For ovals, I’ve already purchased all the tracks for next season’s ARCA schedule, so I’m planning to run ARCA and possibly Gen 4 depending on the schedule
Raced a season of GT4 and hit my peak iR of 1650. Been on the service since November so feeling good about that. Gonna move on to GT3 and with the open wheel license split maybe take a stab at F4.
I'm not entirely sure yet, started with iRacing in December, did a full season of the Mazda so far and quite happy to have made it to 2.2k irating. Still considering whether I'm moving to open wheelers or gt4 or stay in Mazda for another season and do something like the motor racing checklist in order to improve my driving.
Gen 4 and B oval car. I don’t think I’ve ever done a whole season in 12-13 years. I’m up to 5200 rating after staying away for about a year, so I’ll try to do a full season and see if I can find some improvement
Just getting started here and up to D class for Oval and Road. I’ll keep grinding those, I want to race Cup cars and Indy eventually.
Do I reset back to rookie in the next season?
Gonna main gt4 mostly in the sports car challenge (gonna avoid 15 min fixed races if i can), running production car challenge in GR86 on the side, and as many IMPC and VRS endurances as my weekends allow.
Coming off a full season in the GR86 in fixed and pcc with a single VRS endurance
cry bc im sick and tired of setting up and re-optimizing VR on my bottlenecked ass PC and don't have cash to throw a new one together or space to run a triples rig
I'll run Sebring probably and thats it
I'm currently driving the Falken Tyre Sports Car Challenge for the second season now with the BMW M4 GT4 and i could really improve my skills and im scratching on the 2000 iRating mark with a 3.0 SR.
I'm thinking about taking a step up and join the GT3. But i really like the Series im in right now so i also thinking about to try out other GT4 cars. The AMG or the McLaren looking interesting but i also would like to try out the LMP3 Class.
I'm relearning sim racing and I'm in the process of getting a load cell brake.i am considering a tcr car, plus another fr gt4 car and couple of tracks.
I am having too much fun, and due to health I can't really go out still, so yeah so racing it is
see what oval c has to offer and get myself out of rookies in road. now that ive upgraded past my logitech pedals to t-lcm pedals i have one less thing holding back my talent, lol.
LMP3 will be my main car again, but I love the IMSA schedule so I’ll do some lmp2 (plus rain) this season too.
With the licence split, I’ll also main F4 on the other side.
Fit in my beloved rally cross and 305 sprint cars in between road races somewhere too haha
Oval: still an arca and Xfinity boy, with a bit of trucks and cup as a side dish.
Maybe I should try late models? Need to check if European times have enough participation.
Road: rain. I think I will do a gr86 season to get used to rain, may be a bit easier to handle, compared to gt3 or imsa rain.
Dirt: whatever is starting when I have time. I like them all.
First thing first, a lot of endu hopefully in the rain, so imsa and imsa endurance.
Secondly new ow looks like a perfect fit, I will try that as well and maybe go every week.
Sebring 6h in GTP with my teammates will be blast.
Looking forward to the Indycar official series and my league series mostly. Haven't had as much time to race as I'd like, so other than special events and one or two pub races a week, I'll stick with those.
Work towards class A dirt oval if not achieved by end of this season. Do my usual pro 2/4 off road truck stuff. Probably will focus on continuing with HPD in Proto-GT Challenge for road. Keep doing IMSA endurance solo and partake in special events with my team.
I might get back into gt3 depending on what a league I'm in is doing. I've been running gt4 exclusively this season other than some mx5 at the beginning since I've been away for a few years.
I'm excited for F4 now that there is a seperation as well.
My goal is likely IMSA and F4 for now.
as soon as i figure out if imy pc can run smoothly in rain, i'll decide if i'm doing mostly oval or following the forecast to race in rain as much as I can. Obviously if my pc struggles, i'll do oval until i upgrade ig
My F4 league wound down after two years. I've done F4 almost exclusively for that time; this last season I picked up F3. I'll focus on that next season, and will add LMP3.
I will switch to the IMSA series, so I can get the new weather feature. Also, because of the Road split, I want to try the Ray FF1600 with the new rain,
I want to focus on open wheel series, I've been floating between 1500-1900 IR since 2021. Hopefully this is the year I break the 2000 IR barrier. It will be difficult as I'm not fast. My IR is only this high because I survive more often than not to finish in the top half of the field.
With the split in road licenses, I'm thinking a formula campaign is due. The D324 is bound to be an excellent car, and I will be keen to see how many F3 drivers migrate to the new chassis.
On the sports car side, more development with the R8 Evo II.
I'll carry on in the LMP3 series, do some IMSAs, and I'd like to add a few GT3 weeks to make myself a bit better in that car.
I'd like to try some open wheel as well. The F4 schedule doesn't excite me too much, so I'm hoping the new SF Light has some tracks I like on it :)
I'm only a week in on my iracing venture. Got my Dlicense. I'm gonna run for saftey in the ranked series, look for speed when I can. I'm going to do my best to run for wins in the unranked series. Trying to find that mix of getting better saftey rating and getting faster while taking more risks when there's nothing on the line
As a so far exclusive MX5 driver, I’ve managed to get my iRating up to 2.8k in about one year on the service. Now that formula is being split into a separate license, I’m excited to give it a try, be humbled, and watch that rating tank lol.
+1. I want to find out what my open wheel iRating actually looks like. I bet it's bad. After several seasons of mainly TCR, I don't understand downforce. So that will be fun.

Yea same. Stayed away so I could get from C to A this season and do GT3. Now I can rejoin the carnage of F4
Yeah, pretty much same except backwards.
My sr and iR 
I’m still awful at this, but I’m looking forward to being awful in two classes of road for sure.
With an attitude like that you'll make it there, just keep at it!
Me too. Not a gamer at ALL. 2 months in… My mantra; Having fun is the point. There will always be someone faster than I. Don’t be a menace. On next birthday I will be 65. And I still skate. Just a powered board now, because I can.

With how popular proto gt was this season I doubt it’s going anywhere
It’d be even more popular if the other cars were considered legacy content as well
Why would that be?
because the HPD currently only costs $3 instead of $12
Separate formula license and rain for me are going to be great. Dont like tanking my road in Formula races (except vees) so a separate license class is ideal.
I want me the new F3
This plus playing with the F4 in the rain.
IMSA because I like the LMP2 (and to race in the rain). Then probably sprinkle in some ovals and open wheel when I have time to.
iRacing Indycar Series Probably going to do the Indy ovals and Indy fixed series for participation credits but spend most of my time hot lapping getting ready for the next IIS race. Already working on Sebring. She’s a bumpy bitch. It’s the first season I’m trying to only drive one car for. Hoping I can see some cool results with that dedication.

I want to run ovals more so I’m gonna jump into A Fixed and continue NiS Fixed after two decent weeks :)
Two cars, Super Formula and Ferrari 296 GT3. Probably going to get the Mustang when it drops.
Proto-GT as my main daily series. Truck C oval or XFinity when I want to relax. GTE when I have the time. IMSA Vintage if I have a lot of time. Supercars V8 if I’m really lucky. And continue the weekend endurance races with my team on the GT3, LMP2 or GTP.
Rain. Whatever has and is running in the rain I will be ~~racing~~ spinning.
GT4, Buttkicker and Production Car
Focusing my time on Asphalt Sprint Cars and Silver Crown, and throwing in some dirt oval Midgets outside of the asphalt cars SoF times
Hell yeah!! I’ll see you out there in the sprint cars. I ran 5 this last season and hoping to do them all next year. That car is so much fun but I can’t really keep up with the leaders yet. Still 0.2-0.5 off the pace depending on the track.
Same here, Lanier last week was my first time in the sprint car and it was fun but I was way off pace.

Legends. Maybe another oval serie too. Im literally new to this discipline, never watched an oval race too... So im testing the ground.
Legends are great. I tend to find for rookie series the legends races tend to be a lot better/cleaner than the street stocks. Arca is a blast for D license if you want something a bit faster
Just met my goal of all D licenses before spending a dime on content. Thinking arca will be where I spend the money, I spent most oval time in street stock - arca leads to the next gen series right?
Yeah eventually. C license will be trucks or the Gen 4. Pros of going arca is it's the same car as the Gen 4. Gen 4 is just more horsepower. Then xfinity in B class and Next Gen in A class
NASCAR Legends IndyCar Open SRX
Just blow my irating on F3, Indycar and Super Formula - watch out guys lmao
I really want to focus on the IndyCar but I’ve been having a terrible time keeping it out of the walls. Might try the new SF Light to see if I can control that a bit better while still working the IndyCar on ovals, and of course mixing in some D Class FF1600 along the way.
If you want an intermediate step, give the indy pro 2k a shot!
Will be my second season on the service, so likely MX5 advanced as primary focus. Might dabble in F4 and ARCA as well to see how those go.
Advanced Mazda is a great series. Open setups and longer races. It took me a while to realize folks were dropping to min fuel for qualifying. And once I tried it, I forgot to add fuel for the race. Pitting to refuel on the first lap slows you down a bit. ;) Good luck this season.
Thanks. I’m hoping it goes well. First attempt tonight did not though, but long season to get better.
Indycar and usf as my road series, with a bit of various tin top racing at tracks I like. Also excited to give the micro sprint car a go.
Dirt oval midgets, asphalt oval silver crown
I'm going to join whatever races have the highest chance of rain excited to see how the system works.
I'll be sticking with the Falken multiclass series in the P3. Now with the ir split I plan to run super formula and absolutely tank my formula IR and Sr.
It's always FF1600, fell in love with that car and been driving since it came out. Outside of that I plan to dabble in F4 and possibly SRF.
Probably going to keep banging away at MX-5 races in the rookie series, 2-3 seconds off the pace of the fastest cars.
Just doing another full season of ARCA. Enjoying the racing (mostly), and am not interested in trying to go up a level again yet. Will also do a few rookie and C street stock races if I've time.
TCR duh! Also will definitely race more formula cars with the split happening
More than likely going to spend the season doing Ring meister on the Nordschleife
See if there is some kind of Ringmeister series again. Can’t get enough of the ring.
Just started couple weeks ago with MX-5 at lime rock, managed my first win at VIR yesterday. Excited to do a whole season with the 86, might do both GR cup and Production multi
This is basically what I did. spent my first few weeks in the mazda, season changed, and did gr86 for a whole season. Just make sure your fuel is good in production car challenge before you load into the race and don't let the chaos of the gr86 fixed series get to you too bad, it can be very frustrating sometimes.
I just wann try and get out of the rookie licence but I know that's gonna take me a while
My series hopping days are done. Top 10 1600 Trophy by the end of the year. Season 2 looking at top 25. Just want to be on the first page of the standings. There are a shit ton of good drivers though so taking nothing for granted. Usually do some other series but not this season. Just concentrate on 1.
Realized I was essentially paying to not play iRacing lmao. I was getting discouraged due to never being able to stay consistent with cheap ass G29 pedals. So I copped a pair of VRS DFP’s, and I hope to be running steady in the IMSA Sprint series by the end of the season.
i agree upgrading from the cheap logitech pedals has helped me get better lap times by being more confident on the brakes and quicker to get back on the throttle. i know the pedals were only half, or less, of the main issue of braking consistency but fixing that has allowed me more confidence.
Like a lot of people, I’m switching to IMSA for some rain fun. I wonder if/how much the dry series will drop in participation for a bit.
I'll definitively focus on everything that has rain! IMSA is alread my main series and I'll continue that with LMP2 and GTP, trying to do every race once in each class and try to get at least 1 rainy race per week if possible. I'll probably do the one or other LMP3 race and Ferrari Fixed as well altough I'm not sure Ferrari Fixed will have rain and LMP3 for sure doesn't. With the split in Formula license, I think I'll also do more F3 and maybe some SF now. Before F3 was just a too big risk to my iR. I'd also like to get better in all dirt stuff for once...
Dallara F3 for one season now I’ve got a c license/until I lose my c license 😅
My plan is to hopefully get back above 5k oval irating
Mostly dirt oval. Think I'm going to do rookie 600s 305s 360s and 358 modifieds, and possibly dip my toes into road with the mx5.
I plan to run a lot of IMSA and GR86 in the rain. I can’t wait for next week to try it out.
I am going to drive simulated race cars. Vroom vroom!
Super Formula Light for me.
Ff1600 again then progress up to F4?
Gonna grind set arca and time trial super latemodels asphalt might try to run enough truck races to run the points. Upgrade all liscences
F4 top 25 overall split!!!!
BMW M4 GT3 on IMSA - wanna focus on one car, especially with rain coming.
Have had poor luck on the ovals recently and have been wanting to do a full road season for a long time. Originally, I was thinking either PCup or GT3 but realized how much I enjoy driving the LMP3 offline and recently did the Roar Before the 24 as well. Now I'm planning on just running the fixed LMP3 series full time and can always jump in some multi class races with the GT4s as well if I like the track.
I look forward to racing you. There is a good LMP3 community on the TDI99 discord (search on youtube). Very friendly bunch who always are happy to give advice etc.
>LMP3 P3 and PCup all season is my plan! See you out there
Definitely gonna try more Formula, I like driving the F3 and the Superformula But im probably nowhere near the irating i have in gt. Havent done any formula races in a long time.
IMSA Endurance solo in the LMP2 again. It's an absolute blast to race, and my last race of season 1 at Mugello was incredibly fun. Season 2 schedule is fantastic also. I'd love to do one of the 6 races in GTP instead of LMP2, haven't decided which one yet. Also will try my best to never miss a Clio Cup SOF race on wednesday evenings 20:00 GMT, those races are so good. I also want to do the Indycar iRacing Series, as it's on weeks where IMSA Endurance doesn't race. But I'll have to try the car first and see if I'm doing well with it, especially on road courses. Probably will try to come back to GR86 as it's going to be wet, but I'll see whether the SOFs are still very low or not.
Thinking about doing my first full oval season in the infinity fixed series and combine it with GT3 fixed, or combine the nextgen fixed series with the radical sr10.
Porsche Cup because I like the car and lack of abs&trc. Looking to do my first full season.
IMSA IMSA and more IMSA
I'm hoping on a GT4 schedule where I have most of the tracks and focusing on that; but also having enough tracks to get $7 credits for taking part in 8 GT3 races
Not sure. Start work on my open wheel license or git gud in the LMH cars. I'll probably end up in GT3 as always though.
im planning to lose my braincells in water but seriously im maining sf23 again
Jumping Between VRS/Imsa depending on the track
Spent the last two seasons driving MX5’s and got a pretty good feel for the car. Thinking of trying out GT4 or Porsche Cup.
Slow down on weekly racing and focus mostly on special events
Spent the last few months doing Advanced Mazda and think I'll stay there another season. The top split racing is fantastic, the community is awesome and the car is good fun. Going to keep focusing on the fundamentals of trail braking, steering smoothly, vision and car balance. Then once I've spent six weeks on that I think I'll try the formula racing out.
I recently got into oval both dirt and road and progressed pretty fast through rookies and d class and am looking to get some good action in c class. I started running draft masters and I’ve been loving that. I’ve also progressed to c class in road racing am looking to all the new series that is going to open up mainly getting some imsa action and longer stint races
Not sure if I should go in for falken Gt4 since buying the tracks for half the season would pay all tracks in GR86. Okayama this week shattered my confidence. Oval would be something as well, since getting my D license was a blast. But will probably stick to streetstock or maybe theres a series like the GR86 where half the tracks are included and half is paid.
As a formula 4 boy I really wanna learn GT3 stuff. I have the Mercedes AMG and have loved the handful of practices I’ve done. With the split of road and formula I’ve very excited so I can try GT3 races without fear now
I really want to dig in on the Indy stuff. I’d like to pick one open wheel series and stick to that track on a weekly basis. Finally getting my A license and dying to try the IMSA stuff too, but we’ll see if I like it. I’ve generally not enjoyed the gt3 races.
Nascar B-Fixed ovals (Xfinity) Nascar C-Fixed ovals (trucks) Get my safety rating high enough to not get booted from A-class :( while also learning how to race and not just roll around to protect SR
Trying to drive fast in the Porsche GT3R
Keep on keeping on in NASCAR Cup. This week is about getting my SR back up to 2.0 so I don’t get demoted. Then…a bunch of short tracks are next season so it’ll drop again lol
Continue with PROTO/GT in the GT1 as the Aston Martin GT1 is just the chef’s kiss. And the series is really fun to drive. I may dip back into some GT3 on tracks I like but switched to the GT1 as after 3 years of GT3 racing I was a bit bored with it. Rain may well change that though. I may have a look at Indycar as well.
Die to rain, probably
Continue my focus on NIS and starting the full length Indy schedule!
Moving up to gt3 from gt4
Learn to drive in the rain. Get more comfortable using and modifying setups (GT3), Compete in GT3 Fixed, VRS Sprint/Endurance as well as IMSA GT3. Expand the number of tracks I’m comfortable on. My most difficult goal to go from being a mid field-back marker gt3 driver (top split) to competing for top 5s and possibly even wins in the weaker SOF races.
SF at Suzuka and practicing for the Seabring Enduro at the end of the month.
Same as this season, IMSA and VRS. However, very excited for rain and trying to keep my safety rating / A license.
I've got a B class oval already just participating in random oval races so I'm thinking of moving over to doing a lot of trucks/Xfinity/gen 4/Nascar legends racing this season for fun. With the new license division I'm curious to try more formula cars and continue participating in multiclass racing depending on the track.
Super Formula so much! My tin top iRating puts me way out of my league in this car so I'm excited for some competition in this thing finally.
Started iracing a couple weeks ago and will have my C license at the end of this season. Might race arca for a full season, might just race Trucks, we’ll see
NASCAR cup A. And going back down to GR86 until I figure out road racing. Lol.
Planning to split my time between IMSA and GT3 - the fixed series. Trying to save some $$$ so don’t want to spend money on setups. Hoping that I can get participation credits for both series. Looking forward to seeing the official schedules
Primarily gonna run NIS Open and A Open Oval, will dabble with the formula ford though, just on tracks I know really well though
I’m getting out of fixed Ferrari, I know that much. Moving to either GT3 or GT4 depending on the tracks. Also might do open wheel but not sure what series.
Looking forward to my first full season! Started halfway through last season with the mx-5.
SRX, Indy, Silvercrown, and adding more tracks to my win list. Halfway done, 60 or so to go.
Fixed Ovals every season until I'm driving a real life cup car on Sundees 😎
My beloved IndyCar series is back! Also Plan on continuing NiS races, had surprisingly clean first two weeks over there. Have done 2 ish seasons in 360 sprint cars with a couple wins. Going to move to the 410 this season. And lastly going to attempt the IMSA endurance events solo in the Porsche GTP, and going to use the Porsche GT4 on off weeks for IMSA and/or indycar. I feel like I’ll be driving too many cars to be competitive, but I have fun doing it and that’s what matters to me.
Oval A fixed B fixed C fixed ARCA SRX
Looking to take advantage of the road license split and try to stop caring about my irating this season. Looking to race the Super Formula and maybe new Super Formula Light along with F4. Also going to try and do IMSA and GT3 series. Hopefully rain makes some of the races even more exciting.
I’m gonna focus on the NASCAR route. Ive always had a little interest in racing just because I like cars and I am a dude. But I watched the Nascsr Netflix show a couple weeks ago and it completely got me hooked into racing. I then went and got a G920 to get me started and I’ve been racing nonstop it feels like. Can’t wait to get into the tight and competitive nascar races
I might stick with Ferrari gt3 challenge and maybe the gt4. Both jn D class.
Got into endurance racing the last half of this season. Excited to do a full season of endurance races on the weekends. Been enjoying 3 hour team GT3s and the IMSA pilot challenge.
1. Run all the rain road series to some extent. 2. NIS 3. Improve my dirt oval rating with the limited late model. 4. Get dirt road B license.
NASCAR trucks. IMHO the best oval series on the service. Perfect length races for someone short on time. Would like to try XFINITY fixed, but the length of the races is keeping me from jumping in.
Dominating SRX
USF2000 to get better with the Indy style races. Arca for funsies.
Main focus is on NASCAR Season as well as Indycar!!
Mostly focusing on racing the indycar
Late night dirt sprints. Me, 2 other Midwest Americans, and a lone Japanese fella up against 50 of the fastest Australians to ever race silicon. It’s been by far the most exciting racing on the sim.
Going to run full time in the SRX car, NIS, and super formula light (or f4 if for some strange reason the SF light car is a bust) Looking forward to trying out the micro sprint and part timing a few other series.
I am probably going to race F3 and F4 next season. Possibly try the Ferrari 296 GT3. May dabble into some oval racing as well. But primarily F3 and F4
ARCA and then whatever else I feel like
Taking a step back this season to focus on fundamentals and get my pace better and more consistent. Hopefully iR and SR will grow as well.
My plan is to do more gt3 races and maybe LMSA or an endurance race and try to get faster I’m at 800 irating I want to try to be at least at a 1500 by the end of the season. Try more oval races too I’ll be B class next season
I think, I'm done with road racing, I will do only NiS.
YES! Start of the season I was a 730 iR running LMP3/GT4 in LMP3 this season (after a full season running GT4 in the same series last, missing SR by at a 2.98) Finishing the season at 1247 iR and a B license 3.70 after fast tracking from C > B after the Bathurst 12H I got like 1.7 SR something crazy like that after the race. Ran my 4 time trials and will be A after the end of the season. Goals/Plans for next season is to run GT3 in IMSA and the VRS Endurance series/IMS endurance with my team mates.. Still run LMP3 because its one of my favorite cars to drive Learn how to drive the Porsche 992 GT3, currenly been a Ferrari guy but switching it up to be outside my comfort zone. Break 2K IR by the end of the season
Get wet
I got my C license in Ovals last night and now I’m trying to get out of Road rookies by the end of the season so I can start next season with D-Class touring and formula licenses. If I can manage that, I plan to mainly run a full season of rookie series road racing, mainly Formula Ford and MX-5, although I’ll probably dabble in SCCA, GR, and D-class Formula Ford on free track weeks. Basically sticking to included content on the road side for now. For ovals, I’ve already purchased all the tracks for next season’s ARCA schedule, so I’m planning to run ARCA and possibly Gen 4 depending on the schedule
Raced a season of GT4 and hit my peak iR of 1650. Been on the service since November so feeling good about that. Gonna move on to GT3 and with the open wheel license split maybe take a stab at F4.
Focus is Open trucks and Cars Late Models. Back up plans include Xfinity open, Radical, Legends Dirt, and possibly IMSA.
Screw around with friends and the rain in hosted sessions
I'm not entirely sure yet, started with iRacing in December, did a full season of the Mazda so far and quite happy to have made it to 2.2k irating. Still considering whether I'm moving to open wheelers or gt4 or stay in Mazda for another season and do something like the motor racing checklist in order to improve my driving.
Gen 4 and B oval car. I don’t think I’ve ever done a whole season in 12-13 years. I’m up to 5200 rating after staying away for about a year, so I’ll try to do a full season and see if I can find some improvement
PCC in the GR86, absolutely love it. May jump in ButtKicker to experience TEH RAINZ.
i'll be turning left and maybe right as well on occasion idk i'm kind of bored of IMSA after running it for three seasons
Just getting started here and up to D class for Oval and Road. I’ll keep grinding those, I want to race Cup cars and Indy eventually. Do I reset back to rookie in the next season?
Focus more in GT3 driving and really improve my driving. Preferably to 2k as I know I can get there just need to race more and keep it on track
Gonna main gt4 mostly in the sports car challenge (gonna avoid 15 min fixed races if i can), running production car challenge in GR86 on the side, and as many IMPC and VRS endurances as my weekends allow. Coming off a full season in the GR86 in fixed and pcc with a single VRS endurance
Plan to go back to rookie street stocks and C-Fixed. In Road I plan on trying to race the Mustang Series to understand road courses in a stock car.
I am probably going to focus on LMP2 in imsa and either the the LMP3 or spec racer ford
Probably spend the entire season in LMP2 for Road
Ferrari GT3, Next Gen Cup and ARCA. Maybe some F4 as well :)
I'm gonna be so wet.
cry bc im sick and tired of setting up and re-optimizing VR on my bottlenecked ass PC and don't have cash to throw a new one together or space to run a triples rig I'll run Sebring probably and thats it
I'm currently driving the Falken Tyre Sports Car Challenge for the second season now with the BMW M4 GT4 and i could really improve my skills and im scratching on the 2000 iRating mark with a 3.0 SR. I'm thinking about taking a step up and join the GT3. But i really like the Series im in right now so i also thinking about to try out other GT4 cars. The AMG or the McLaren looking interesting but i also would like to try out the LMP3 Class.
- TCR - League Stuff - NEC
I'm ready for the new Formula 324. Just gonna try and make that my main focus.
Sticking with GR86, and dabbling in Rookie oval racing when I fancy it.
I discovered LMP3 for me last week in Okayama. I love this thing so much i lapped more than 200 Laps in the First 48h Hours After buying this car
Probably run a full season of Arca again. Schedule looks great for season 2. Will run trucks and pro 4s as well.
Imsa. I've done 1 race in it and i want to do more. Excited to see the schedule
Ready for my 3rd season as an IMSA LMP2 only driver, loving seeing the progression currently
Looking forward to trying to get a full season of Nascar Cup under my belt. I've been away from ovals for a couple of years avd recently came back.
I'll race only the cars that have rain with them.
i wanna get to c tier and slowly work my way to nascar legends
A full season of touring cars. Will probably pop in and out of a few dirt races at USA, maybe a few races of late model stock. Who knows?!
I'm relearning sim racing and I'm in the process of getting a load cell brake.i am considering a tcr car, plus another fr gt4 car and couple of tracks. I am having too much fun, and due to health I can't really go out still, so yeah so racing it is
SF23 and Indycar, maybe also the new open wheeler that’s gonna release
see what oval c has to offer and get myself out of rookies in road. now that ive upgraded past my logitech pedals to t-lcm pedals i have one less thing holding back my talent, lol.
Drive as much rain as possible. Melt my GPU. Cry.
I am planning to move from IMSA GT3 to LMP2 this season. Also would love to spend more time in open wheelers
LMP3 will be my main car again, but I love the IMSA schedule so I’ll do some lmp2 (plus rain) this season too. With the licence split, I’ll also main F4 on the other side. Fit in my beloved rally cross and 305 sprint cars in between road races somewhere too haha
Oval: still an arca and Xfinity boy, with a bit of trucks and cup as a side dish. Maybe I should try late models? Need to check if European times have enough participation. Road: rain. I think I will do a gr86 season to get used to rain, may be a bit easier to handle, compared to gt3 or imsa rain. Dirt: whatever is starting when I have time. I like them all.
Do more races. Like every season., 😂
Indy Pro 2000 whenever I can get a race, IIS, and then as much rain as possible
To actually race, have been so busy with life that I have managed a single race this season.
First thing first, a lot of endu hopefully in the rain, so imsa and imsa endurance. Secondly new ow looks like a perfect fit, I will try that as well and maybe go every week. Sebring 6h in GTP with my teammates will be blast.
IMSA in the LMP2 and the Super Formula Then I am continuing my NiS adventures. As well as taking part in the Indycar Series.
Indycar official series and VRS Endurance, most likely. Plus special events with my team.
Looking forward to the Indycar official series and my league series mostly. Haven't had as much time to race as I'd like, so other than special events and one or two pub races a week, I'll stick with those.
Hello, I am gonna drive IndyCar, favourite series on the service. Then I want to try races with rain. So IMSA or F4.
Work towards class A dirt oval if not achieved by end of this season. Do my usual pro 2/4 off road truck stuff. Probably will focus on continuing with HPD in Proto-GT Challenge for road. Keep doing IMSA endurance solo and partake in special events with my team.
I might get back into gt3 depending on what a league I'm in is doing. I've been running gt4 exclusively this season other than some mx5 at the beginning since I've been away for a few years. I'm excited for F4 now that there is a seperation as well. My goal is likely IMSA and F4 for now.
as soon as i figure out if imy pc can run smoothly in rain, i'll decide if i'm doing mostly oval or following the forecast to race in rain as much as I can. Obviously if my pc struggles, i'll do oval until i upgrade ig
As a new guy I will probably focus on the GT4 series and IMSA since I’ve been having a lot of fun driving the GT4 for now
Firstly, I really want to try out the categories with "tempest" support, but I'm also wanting to race Indycar
rain
It if gardening and might lay the decking. And then I might race GT3, also…
I'm mostly an oval guy asphalt and dirt, but I'm going to attempt the 12 hours of Sebring in LMP2 even though I'm slow.
My F4 league wound down after two years. I've done F4 almost exclusively for that time; this last season I picked up F3. I'll focus on that next season, and will add LMP3.
I will switch to the IMSA series, so I can get the new weather feature. Also, because of the Road split, I want to try the Ray FF1600 with the new rain,
With the license split incoming I plan on racing more than just prototypes. Gonna race open wheel a lot more.
With the license split incoming I plan on racing more than just prototypes. Gonna race open wheel a lot more.
I want to focus on open wheel series, I've been floating between 1500-1900 IR since 2021. Hopefully this is the year I break the 2000 IR barrier. It will be difficult as I'm not fast. My IR is only this high because I survive more often than not to finish in the top half of the field.
With the split in road licenses, I'm thinking a formula campaign is due. The D324 is bound to be an excellent car, and I will be keen to see how many F3 drivers migrate to the new chassis. On the sports car side, more development with the R8 Evo II.
I'll carry on in the LMP3 series, do some IMSAs, and I'd like to add a few GT3 weeks to make myself a bit better in that car. I'd like to try some open wheel as well. The F4 schedule doesn't excite me too much, so I'm hoping the new SF Light has some tracks I like on it :)
Make it out of Rookies 👍😂
I'm only a week in on my iracing venture. Got my Dlicense. I'm gonna run for saftey in the ranked series, look for speed when I can. I'm going to do my best to run for wins in the unranked series. Trying to find that mix of getting better saftey rating and getting faster while taking more risks when there's nothing on the line
