Its a new season and a new place to talk about iracing! What is everyone’s plans? I have been racing ir04 for the last few season so I’ve decided to switch it up and try gt4 in the Merc. Its taking some getting used to the much bigger vehicle and I keep instinctively pressing my tear off button but I’m having a lot of fun
Hard time deciding what to race as there are so many nice series. I’ll probably rotate between GT legends, Lmp3/GT4, F3, Indy pro 2000, GT4, and maybe a little of the new Caddy. Every season i decide i will complete a full season in a single class but i just can’t make up my mind since i love driving all the cars i own. Downside is that practice takes longer and quiet often i don’t actually race at all because i don’t master the car/track combo well enough to my liking. Practice/trackday simulation is nice too sometimes i guess.
My favourites have been:
-Road: F3, IndyPro 2000, USF 2000
-Oval: NASCAR (usually Class C Trucks), Dallara iR-18
My brother reached Class B road this season, so we plan on trying out the LMP2 Fixed.
So, I own the USF 2000 and the IndyPro 2000. I think the F4 is better in almost every way that the USF2000; however, I have yet to actually run a race with the IndyPro. I’d really like to hit Class B road soon so I can dry out the iR-18 road series.
I want to get into the gt4’s really bad but want to test drive them first, just need to find the time. I’m on an oval kick as of recent (past season and this season) I think I’m going to stick to the gen4 cup mostly and cup/xfinity series with a bit of the ir18 mixed in for fun. It’s my first season with the gen 4 and I’m having a blast on Michigan this week I’m not the best road racer, maybe next season I’ll work more on the GR86 and then spring for the gt4 if I can improve
I can’t figure out how to drive the Cayman. I will think I have it figured out and then just massively understeer with no real idea why.
GR86, formula Ford, maybe the occasional TCR or Miata race. Just depends on what’s available that week to me and what I feel like. I gave up the grind.
Trailbraking. It won’t turn without it.
Yeah I guess I’m not as consistent with that as I think I am. Thanks
It may not be a consistency issue; it may literally be you are used to downforce cars OR front-engine-RWD cars. Do some practice sessions on the test track and see if you can feel the difference. :)
I am very used to front engine RWD cars in game and IRL so that piques my interest. I’ll definitely give it another go and keep the weight distribution in mind – Thanks!
Any luck with the Cayman?
