re: iRacing

Thanks. Couldn't finish a race after that. Would qualify on pole and get wrecked every single race. The draft kills you there by letting idiots pull back up on you and then just come up inside and wreck you.

Any recommendations out there for a decent budget wheel with or without pedals? I’ve tried shopping and am lost lol. I’ve been playing mostly F1 2019 on PS4 along with some Gran Turismo and Nascsr Heat 5

Standard seems to be G29.

I haven't raced at all lately. Last I did it was like I completely forgot how to drive.

Raced again yesterday and today for the 1st time in a month. Got demoted back to D class since my SR was so low. Grinding back with the street stock and legends. Though legends seems to hurt more than help really.

Nicely done! I'm still trying to grind back to C.

I ran my second race at Bristol and had pretty much same thing happen. Long green flag run, I get to P4 and with @ 10 laps left caution. I stayed out and at the green there is a pile up up front and caution in turn one, this time I don’t escape damage even though it doesn’t look bad I get the pit flag. With only a few laps I was tempted to stay out but every time I have with that flag I have blown an engine.
I pit and have like 56 seconds of required repairs, win I get the drop the pace car is right behind me, I kinda panic and hit the throttle too hard and spin in the pits. To make matters worse I have a car coming at me and I’m facing the wrong way. I put the car in reverse to spin back around and get out of the other cars way, assuming he will slow down seeing me backwards on pit lane. Well none of that happened, car was in first (panic remember) and the guy never slowed up so I hit him. Before I can say sorry I’m a dumbass this guy goes off with the stupid mother f*•ker on and on and that he will report me. I just tell him do what you got to do, but don’t forget your spin on restart on lap 7 where he took 4 cars out then rolled back on track wrecking another in the wall, I dodged him.
I guess people forget they make mistakes also, it’s racing. But when some get touched they act like they have Dale Earnhardt credentials and go off the deep end. Sad really that they act like the internet bully I just laugh and continue on, I know I can drive and own up to my mistakes. Btw I finished P8 passing some guys on the G/W/C and was happy with that. One of these races will stay green for me and I’m going to get my first A win. Haha.

Do they have setups for A open oval nascar? I have looked at several driving schools that also help on setups, at the moment I’m driving the A fixed nascar series so I don’t have to race and worry with a setup. It’s cool to know it’s more about driver than car setup, but the racing is hard especially at the start of every race. You have to run almost past what the car can do to keep close enough to the front to have a chance at a top 5 or win. That’s ok but it causes more wrecks in my opinion and chances are you will take some kind of damage. I have been doing quite well on the longer green runs so I’m curious if the open races might be different with less cautious? If they are I need to look into possibly switching because I know the races are a bit longer.

Made it back to C. Did 3 open races yesterday but wrecked in all 3. First 2 were just chain reactions ahead of me. 3rd was mostly my fault, running in the top 5 and came up on a guy. Those setups are wicked fast though. Ran in the top split in the 1st two but got moved back for the 3rd. So loose, but I qualified like 8th of 30 or so without having raced a truck for a month.

Thanks. I never made it to A, I was B before. But my SR is still high. I have noticed the open races are much faster than the fixed. It seems like they're a lot tougher.

I'm still struggling to avoid the silly wrecks in the trucks. SR is still 3.76 but Dega is coming. What's your irating now? I'm hovering in the 1400 or so range.
