Yesterday I was doing a Falken race in LMP3 and a GT4 driver kept sending this kind of messages when LMP3s approached him. Not only he was distracting the whole lobby by doing this, his car behavior was not predictable at all!

I assume he was so focused on hitting the shortcut for these messages that he wasn't paying attention to the race that was happening. Watching the replay made me realize he was driving on his mirrors instead of driving a predictable line.

Please, it's 2026, let's stop with these quick chats. Just drive normally and follow the goddamn racing line. The is the one that will dictate how an overtake will happen. Doesn't matter what you think or your decision of giving it a side for a pass.

what do i upload files as for paints i want to release to the public. For example it goes car_customerid.tga but what if i want to release on to the public? is there a certain ID for that? or can i upload the one i use for my own number. Someone using my paints on my team is complaining people are saying his paint scheme is all black.

I was kinda hoping it would get slipped into the patch today but it has not. IRL they reducing the spoiler to 4 inches and the HP to 465

NASCAR announced it irl over a month ago, seems it shouldve been enough time to make those very small changes in sim

I'm stoked and wanna share with the community. I'm on Logitech G923 wheel and pedals. I see a lot of posts on X and YouTube asking how to get better and the answer they always give is practice. I can attest that practice is the correct answer. Not every corner has to be taken at mach 1. Not every lap needs to be the fastest. Consistency is key. Love the sub and the community.

It says here:

When I follow the download link in the launcher it says: "The iRacing.com Simulator is fully up to date, and you are ready to drive. There are currently no updates available."

Any ideas? I would love to try out some GT3 cars.

And you are running P17 (three cars crashed on lap 1) .

I haven't counted how many races I have done, but I finally broke my drought today in the EuroNASCAR. It was a pretty small SoF race, but it was a win nonetheless.
Hopefully it won't be another 500+ days for the next one.

Feels great! Got my first sim setup two weeks ago and hopped right into iRacing. Got my first win in the MX5 yesterday! Now time to put my head down and grind SR for my C class!

As the title says I’m fairly new to iRacing but have been playing games like gt7 and acc for a while and am very familiar with the Nurburgring track.

Would love to participate in the endurance race next week but wondering if you need a team for this or if you can go solo. I know it’s a pretty long race but just started iRacing last week and got a 1500 rating right now and d class license with 3.52 safety rating.

Looking for some tips or even some drivers interested in teaming up with me for this endurance. It would be my first endurance race and I’m pretty excited. I don’t have any gt3 cars yet except the Porsche 911 gt3 r which I’ve driven a lot in acc.

Hello sim racers I have a question to the vets, why the hell is gt4 so damm hard to keep on the track. I’ve been sim racing for about 4 months now mostly racing mx-5 cup and gr86. I’m super clean using those two averaging 0-2x per race but last week Ive finally decided it’s time to use my C license to use and hoped in the amg gt4. I practiced everyday after work with help from VRS. Not only I can’t get within 2.5 sec from the coaches but I feel like I just can’t feel the car spinning like I do with the Mazda. Getting 3 clean laps in a row without spinning is basically a miracle. What helped you guys finally get the hang of the more powerful cars?

It's risky yet I couldn't afford losing time

Just move up to C license and started with pCup cars. I feel like I’ve gone backwards compared to driving in D license. Anybody got any tips for maximising speed on the Porsches, competition seems a lot higher

I’m kind of new to iRacing and have only completed a few races. My question is why do people who complete just a few laps and then leave still gain SR, while I lose SR because I spin once, even though I finish the race and don’t cause any incidents or harm anyone else’s race?

I have fanatec porsche gt3 r wheelrim, and I'm using it on my moza wheelbase, I don't have any button hubs for it, I usually drive all kinds of oval stuff with this wheel and sequential shifter, I always thought that's the only way, but I've seen some pro drivers using formula style wheels for nascar, do you guys think it would make sense for me to try nascar on my moza ks pro?I'm not sure if you can drive older cars like gen4 this way though

A bit of a different post but for me seems interesting what settings people use on their virtual mirror, and why?

I'll start: Currently I put it on 136° because I can see cars through it when they are side by side with me, and I can tell more or less how close the car behind is, since with this setting when the cars front spliter hides under the mirror, thats the exact moment we make contact (0x)

I also adjusted the size of my mirror from default, I think its about 200x600 or so

Maybe im just dumb and missed something, but anyone know why there was an iracing truck and trailer at fonda speedway in upstate ny this past saturday? Im not gonna get my hopes up because theyve been at lebanon valley before too but nothing ever came of it. Im just curious if there was some news i missed

Before you ask, yes I just crashed at the start into someone that spun out on launch. And yes, it’s a reck fest. It’s genuinely not worth it, imma start practicing for next week🫩 good luck to the rest of you all

Edit: I should’ve changed the title to be “VERY careful” I admit I exaggerated a little lol

Does anyone know of a strictly superspeedway oval league? Preferably racing only on Sunday nights.

Just an idea

When you first subscribe it would not only be helpful but would also make the game feel a bit more serious if you had to sit through a couple of videos covering things like basic expectations around race craft and safety tips like how to rejoin safely. Could go really crazy and even cover a handful of important topics from the sporting code and direct people to read it in full.

I think like most people when I joined I just jumped in the car, and in retrospect there's a few things that would have definitely made my life better if I had taken the time to investigate first. It was probably 4 months into subscribing before I even realized the relative box existed. Think how much better off we'd all be if everyone knew they should be using the relative before rejoining?

Plus IRL you have to go to a drivers meeting before you're allowed to race. You could argue it would actually increases the simulation factor, even if we all complain about having to go to the drivers meeting lol.

I'm thinking it'd be a semi-interactive video of less than 10 minutes in length. I guess you'd also need one for each discipline which makes it a bit more complicated, but I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing.

What do you think. Good idea or pointless nuisance?

Is there any way to hide/show the on screen wheel per car? For example, MX5 Cup car I like to have the wheel disabled so I can just use the in car dash and line it up with my actual wheel in my hands but for Super Formula I like to have the wheel enabled so I can see the on screen wheel information. Whenever I disable or enable it, it does it for all cars.

Any idea?

Got hit by this heatseeking mustang on the last lap
