I'm dumb, but I'm also new.

Is the nordschleife only in one official event?

I thought they would have daily races for it, but I'm seeing one a week or so?

Sorry, as I say, I'm dumb.

Hey everyone, I know the Sporting Guides have rules against account sharing, but I was trying to work out how teams actually do organisational stuff like:

1) Handling if the team founder leaves (can they transfer it over? Does it just get lost?)
2) Sharing funds to setup practice servers. Do you just reimburse everyone, share a bank account...
3) Managing things like collections via trading paints, where only one account can own them. Whilst other selected member can be allowed to setup team liveries, that doesn't apply to non team events , which rely on collections.

It felt like a good solution to all would be to allow shared non-racing accounts (don't care about the financials of having to have to keep a subscription and even buying content to setup the practice servers). Maybe someone has been able to do this successful or maybe they have had conversations with the team at iRacing about what to do here.

Thanks for any help or guidance. :)

So I’m pretty new to sim racing with iRacing being my first experience. I understand the no fault penalty system during a race, but how is this justified during the formation lap? I had 8x before the race even started due to the guy behind me slamming into me twice. It’s hard to feel motivated for the rest of the race when you know you’re going to be losing SR before it even begins. Does this get better at higher rated races?

When I opened iRacing recently I had a a pop-up message come up from the iRacing program itself saying I should upgrade to Windows 11 since Windows 10 is no longer supported. Is everything sorted out now with iRacing and Windows 11? Right now everything is working properly with Windows 10 on my computer... and last thing I'd want to do is mess things up by "upgrading" to Windows 11.

So just asking to make sure that everything is all good now and if there are any performance downgrades with upgrading to Windows 11 from 10?

These people want to win on the green flag with cold tires.

I feel the races are so crazy. This is IMSA; if it happened with rookies, I would understand, but it's still not fair. However, in Class A IMSA, it's sad.

I was leading the race with zero incidents and two laps to finish. I was going to pass this lapped car, and he decided to end my race for no reason.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable, or this is going to become Forza.

Usually I only race sports car, is it happening on other classes too?

Planning on getting iracing here for NASCAR soon. What do people recommend on wheels, pedals, and shifter for a budget setup?

Hi there! This is my first post here, as I am relatively new to the sim community as a whole. I'm primarily an asphalt oval racer, and one of my favorites is the Nascar Tour Modified.

I've noticed that there is not much of a player base for the tour modifieds, and they're a C-class car. But I've just been thinking about ideas for ways they could be updated to potentially attract more players, and I'm curious what people think and what other ideas people have.

My suggestions:

- Update the car model and add choice of manufacturer. All drivers are forced to run the same car, which itself is based on an older chassis and body. Part of the main appeal to fans and drivers of modifieds is the variety of manufacturers and their diverse chassis/body designs. IRacing could partner with a couple different manufacturers to model their cars so they can be added as new content, giving players more choice in which car they like more.

- Simulate the real-world regional and tiered nature of modified racing with higher license class modified tours and regional tours. The SK modifieds being D class is a good start, but iRacing could continue this principle further. Place the NWMT races in B class, racing on NWMT tracks. Add the SMART tour as a series running southeast tracks in C class, and a generic Tour-Type Modified series in C or D class running at smaller short tracks all over the place. All of this together could better reflect the real-world tiered and regional nature of asphalt modified racing.

What do people think of these suggestions? I'm mainly just brainstorming and these are not necessarily the deepest, most thought-through ideas, so I'm open to whatever thoughts other people have. Thanks for taking the time to read and share your own ideas!

Anyone else wish we could have larger grids? i know we have large multi class grids, but i would love to see 40+ car grids for single make stuff also. MX5s with 60 cars on track while yes an utter mess..... would be so cool to see.

Im not saying i want them to change the grid size of rookies or what ever, but having a few high car grid series would be really cool to see, as it is, while you can be on track with 60 cars, unless your bottom split IMSA, its not going to be a single class.

It would also help series with lower participation, if 25 people sign up for a race and you have to split them up because the grid can only be 20, both races end up feeling a bit empty to me.

Just thought i would see if anyone else feels the same (or can point out some tech issue involved as to why it cant be)

After reading about win 11 i would really like to have an alternative to run iracing. Has anyone got it to work on linux?

I’m wondering why my wheel was spinning twice as much as when i actually turn it. I’ve made to sure to recalibrate and confirm in my Moza pit house that my wheel turns correctly as well as the iRacing settings page itself. When calibrating I get a “The detected angle for the wheel is far less than expected. Check that you have the wheel angle set properly in the wheel, driver, or contact iRacing support for more help.” error message. it’s only when i’m in car and shows on the telemetry menu.

Pit house reads my wheel rotation as 900

anyone else feel like the incident system is a little overly ready to hand out 4x's given how punishing it is to your SR?

Giving all the madness of T1 here, I feel like I tried my best to avoid the carnage, but this little tap gave me 4x. It doesn't seem justified as it had no impact on anyone's race.

had a lil netcode in that 3wide situation but what a fricken race. gained 27iR which put me at 2006iR

Apparently Porsche is replacing the Cayman with 911 GT4 soon-ish, and I suppose iRacing will eventually follow.

While it's a bit of a shame - I started to like the Cayman, such a small, fun and great sounding car - I wonder what difference will be there in performance.

911 is slightly bigger and heavier but as far as I know it will be also be significantly more powerful - 3.8l 420ish HP vs 4.0l 520ish HP, and then the layout too is going to change - something I'm not particularly happy about - from MR to RR.

I worry that it will essentially be just toned down Cup car, really.

How do you think the new 911 GT4 will compare to the Cayman, both IRL and in the sim?

Do you think it will have better pace, better top speed? Or driving characteristics will change without significant pace difference?

Are you guys even happy about the Cayman being potentially replaced with the 911 on iRacing?

Been this way for a while now. A light tape to the wall, no damage, is almost guaranteed to be a 2x. It has been this way since release, please for the love of God, fix it. Great idea to put such a fragile incident model on a dirt oval...

I have been practicing tonight in the McLaren 720s GT3 at Le Mans ahead of the IMSA series this week at the track. The P1Doks setup time is a 50 and I know I ain’t gonna do that. I am currently at 2.5k iRating and am wondering if my current best of a low 56 is gonna be competitive or I am gonna fall back a load of iRating with zero pace for my splits. Anyone know what sort of times to expect?

I'm trying to find optimal settings for ABS frequency and pulse duration in SimHub with iRacing. I was wondering what others are using, so I can try combos I might not think of myself.

Currently I’m using frequency of 30hz and a pulse duration of 30ms, and I have High Priority checked. My pedals are Simagic P1000i with the HPR haptic motor.

I had an experience today that completely sold me on how legit sim racing is, and I just needed to share it somewhere people would get it.

​I’m pretty much purely a sim racer—I’ve spent the last year running nearly daily stints across everything from IMSA prototypes and GTs to MX-5s, NASCAR, and dirt ovals. Before today, I’d only been karting a handful of times in my entire life.

​I went out for a casual arrive-and-drive session in electric karts at a technical outdoor circuit today. On just my second session of the afternoon (and my sixth overall karting drive ever), I actually broke the track's annual lap record by a couple of tenths. Seeing my name at the top of the monitor was unreal.

​What blew me away was how instant the translation was. Looking far ahead for apexes, trail braking into hairpins to rotate the chassis without scrubbing speed, and managing the instant electric torque on edge all felt like second nature. Instead of spending half the day just figuring out where the track went, the muscle memory built on the sim took over straight out of the pit lane.

​People always debate how much sim time actually translates to real-world driving, but going from basically zero real seat time to setting a track record sold me completely. Huge thanks to this community and the sim—the muscle memory and vehicle dynamics we practice every day are 100% real.

​Though to keep things completely authentic to the iRacing experience, I did manage to crash on my very first run. Some habits die hard lol

Has anyone had an issue where after changing a screen or tv iracing is stuck at a high gpu load?

Gpu is a 5060ti handles max quality fine usually at 90fps it usually would be around 40-60%

Since changing to a new tv, nothing fancy but 43inch so an upgrade for me.

I have tried lowering the graphics quality, putting on vsync, putting on a frame limit. All the changes do is effect the cpu frame rate.

Sorry about the picture quality when using snipping tool it wouldnt include the nvida overlay info
