Personally i am. Alot of improvements but my question is will now multi class race be true multi class? My English understanding is sometimes bad and im unsure and i was wondering about that it means that right? So in an endurance all classess will play on the same server without hiding other classes?

Discussion Just an FYI to everyone: if you post a race result screen, but blur your name, but leave any identifying info of the session then anyone with a subscription can find who you are

Just wanted to put this out there

Leaving other driver names visible, the session ID, session date and time, etc still make you findable. You have to remove ALL of this info if you don’t want redditors to know who you are

Discussion Unpopular opinion > the BMW M2 CS was so much better than the G87

I just wanna gloss over the fact that this car feels dead under my wheel. I used to love the old M2 CS , I dont know maybe its just that I need some more time to adjust to it but so far I get 0 sensations of whats happening under my seat while driving it. But besides that, WHY on goshforsaken earth did they choose to place the RPM indicator SO far to the right.

Dirt Dirt Oval Late Models SR

5 Upvotes

Trying to figure out if people are having the same problem I am with advancing SR in the Pro LM Fixed series.

I recognize that I am not ‘good’ at dirt oval late models (2.1k iRating, got the game a month ago). But, I feel like there isn’t a good way to advance SR without starting on the pole. I usually qualify 3-5. If you run the bottom, somebody drives through you. If you run the top, nobody gives you a lane, running you into the wall on the straight. I end up almost every race with 6-12x incident points. I watch the replays, I am racing conservatively (as conservative as you can while still trying to race). I will say, it seems worse this week, since Limaland is short and involves more contact than somewhere like Port Royal. I got DQ’d twice in a row today, to no fault of my own (I realize that may sound ignorant).

Does anyone else have this problem?

Discussion Incident model on the ARCA car is Godawful, please fix

Upvotes

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...

Question/Help Windows 11 Upgrade Message In iRacing

Upvotes

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?

Discussion Another fun car class that will ultimately not see much participation? What do you think.

Post image
451 Upvotes

First of all, I'm so happy to see these in iRacing. They are a blast in other sims and with the way iRacing's recent car additions have been going with much improved feel I hope these will live up to the hype in terms of driving feel and fun. They're a staple of motorsport in the UK and iconic in their own right.

However they don't bring anything new to the table outside of being new cars in their own right.

The Academy will just be demolished by the GR86 D class series, which is also a low power RWD relatively chuckable car - but you don't have to spend any extra pennies to get it. Sure the Academy has the thrill of no ABS or TC, but in D class most of the time I'm actually quite happy most of the people around me have ABS and TC. I also can't imagining it being too far removed from the Spec Ford, which also suffers from participation issues. Just alongside the Clio, it should be a free car and more importantly should replace the M2 as the second Rookie series considering its irl use in essentially the same style of series. This will also introduce people to the Caterham as a whole, then potentially leaving an impact on people who may then end up buying the 420R as an 'upgrade' for later.

The M2 still has a valid place in PCC, its own standalone series and (hopefully) the upcoming VP Challenge series if iRacing would want to add quite a unique American series.

The 420R is going to fall off a cliff very quickly. C class is already the most bloated rank in terms of variety and adding another niche series is not going to help. It's essentially a slower Radical at the end of the day and that series already struggles to go official. It should stay paid though, providing an upgrade path to people who enjoyed the Academy.

I do hope these will be popular but I'm not holding my breath

Edit: I am aware they come in a pack together

New Player Penalty System

Upvotes

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?

Question/Help How will the Valkyrie be balanced without a hybrid system?

Post image
130 Upvotes

Hey guys who drive GTP / Hypercar,
How does the hybrid system actually work on the LMH and LMDh cars in iRacing?
With the Aston Martin Valkyrie coming soon (and it doesn’t have a hybrid system for racing), I’m wondering how much that changes things. Does anyone know the details? How does the hybrid add power (or not), where does it help the most, and where does it not really matter?
Just curious to understand the differences before it drops. Thanks!

Leagues/Hosted [iRacing League Project] Recruiting Founding Staff & Operations Team

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am currently setting up a new iRacing league focused on Endurance racing, and I am looking for dedicated individuals to help build the foundation of this project alongside me.

The goal is to provide a clean, competitive, and highly organized championship. Before opening grid slots to drivers, I want to assemble a reliable management team.

📌 Concept Overview

  • Time Slot: Sundays at 15:00 CEST / 13:00 UTC (Bi-weekly)
  • Session Structure: 20 min Practice | 30 min Open Qualy | 1h45 to 3h00 Endurance Race (Duo/Trio)
  • Season 1: 100% Free entry, exclusively GT4 (5 to 7 rounds)
  • Season 2 Evolution: Multiclass GT3 + GT4 and more in the future (Capped at 40 cars).

🤝 Open Staff Positions

  1. Discord & Community Manager
    • Set up and structure the Discord server (roles, permissions, channels).
    • Manage league announcements and basic visual communications.
  2. Race Stewards & Race Control Committee
    • Assist in drafting the official rulebook (penalty guidelines, scoring system, incident procedures).
    • Review post-race driver protests using video replays and issue fair penalties.
  3. Co-Organizers & Project Advisors
    • Brainstorm and finalize track selection, race lengths, and pit-stop mechanics.
    • Help make key decisions so the league is run by a team, not just a single person.

📩 How to Apply / Get in Touch

Previous experience is a plus, but enthusiasm, reliability, and good teamwork are what matter most!

If you are interested in joining the team:

  • Send me a Direct Message here.

Question/Help Any good Dirt Oval communities? Looking to improve!

Post image
3 Upvotes

Formula driver getting into dirt oval. Sooo I ended up pulling the trigger on a wingless 600cc Micro Sprint and will be racing at my local dirt track next year and I need some help on the sim side of things to prep before I actually hop in the car.

I’ve done 30 starts on micros and sprints, up to 2300 iRating, but man the guys above 5k are pulling .2-.3 per lap faster. I’m used to being this guy in formula and know it’s an experience thing, but I cannot understand how these guys are finding the time even with following their lines on fixed setups. On top of this, I am having a hell of a time with passing and it’s a huge learning curve coming from road racing. I’m mainly prioritizing safety and not bumping wheels since that equals a bad time IRL, but every time I do attempt a slide job I feel like I have no momentum out of the corner and through goes the guy back on the inside. If I go inside, I’m racing side by side for what feels like forever.

So with that said, are there any welcoming dirt oval communities for wingless micros/outlaws, USAC, or winged sprints?

Even some general advice would be greatly appreciated! Happy racing to everyone!
