  • Thanks. I use photoshop and template files provided by iRacing. The graphics were made with various selection tools, custom brushes, layer effects, generated patterns and an understanding of how to use the specmap features in the game.

    I tend to start with creating graphic design elements like the blocks of color and styling separately from the car, then I take those elements and apply them to the car, taking into account the shapes of the car and how complex the template is. Then I apply logos and other details. Lastly I adapt those graphics to the specmap to make things shiny or metallic.



  • It is definitely possible to have clean races in most categories, but it depends on the class. I did a GR86 race the other day and was shunted off in lap1 by an overly aggressive fellow who bumpdrafts in corners. The next race was GT4 at Suzuka and I finished with no incs and good fights. Both were around 1700ir SoF and me in midfield positions. Driving standards haven’t changed much since I started using iR 4 years ago.

    Now, with the changes to grass and damage repairs, maybe we’ll see less offtracks resulting in bowling strikes as people can actually slow down and steer a bit on the green stuff now. And repairs prioritize mechanical damage over aero.

    The common factor is you. keep your heads up and nose out of trouble, learn to read the field and consider what fights are worth it and what areas of the track is prone to accidents. If something happens up ahead, brake and move predictably until you see a clear path through.









  • You spun at the kink because you braked too hard while steering too much, asking for more grip than the tires could give. Remedy is to give less of either steering or braking. nice improvement of quality overall, I’m enjoying the commentary and replay camera angles.

    A tip you probably already know, if you want to manipulate your cameras more, like zooming in or moving the position, hit ctrl+f12.
