Hey guys I just started after I'd given up on LFS due to too much bitching and people taking it way to seriously.

iRacing seems to be a much better game overall, but some of the driving by the new guys leaves a lot to be desired (got taken out twice by the same guy in one lap last night lol)

So who plays and for how long, what do/don't you like about it?

I personally am not a fan of the Safety rating and after the last race I did last night my SR is nearly back to where I started :whistling:

anyway feel free to add my as a "myracer"

I used to do a fair amount of online racing, I have used iRacing a bit a few years ago, made it up into B grade but then PC passed away, then some never really got back onto into it. I will put up some pics of my set up. The SR rating can go south if your are in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that's racing I guess.

Came across this a few days ago. Heaps of fun, especially with a G27, but you wouldnt want a swear jar in the room..

After playing something like Forza 4 or GT5, you wouldnt think fanging a caged MX-5 around a track would be much fun. But wow, im hooked so far!

Hi see an old post but thought id give it a shot.

Recently started an I racing account. Loving the game, have been promoted to B licence only after 2 weeks. Love the game, am now running in the skip barber F2000 car series. I also run alot in the MX5 single series events and for a bit of carnage the Oval series hahaha. Man i always get punted ionto the walls in that hahaha best finnish was 3rd, and best in road is 3rd. Still a noob but enjoying the Wheel and everything for my PC just got a basic ferarri wheel with 2 bedals and padel shift.

Feel free to add me

Anyone still doing this, since last post have won 2 weeks in a row in the official V8 supercar series and have had a stack of top 5 finnishes. My iRating is now up to almost 2000 at 1954. Oran Park this week and then one more week next week.

Bathurst is also being released in 2 weeks time so all you motor heads should come have a look.

1 month subscription to play is 15 but if you bulk buy for 12 months its only 70. Worth it if your a big racer like myself. Loving the game. Starting to also work on my oval license.

If your interested in watching the top V8 simulator drivers the Monday night races are broadcast live starting at 845pm EDST and the main race is on Live at 9:15pm EDST. Great to watch with commentary and all. As i said Oran park this week, some action always guaranteed.

Hope to see you all out on track.

Yep I'm still going at iRacing. Loving the Mount now they have it! Have made it now to A class in road and now trying my hand at oval racing. Don't think I'll ever get sick of this Sim! Bought GT6 a few weeks ago and the novelty wore off quick and went straight back to iRacing. And again if anyone wants to add me on iRacing feel free :)

bought Phillip island track last night and the VW tdi for some FWD love :P felt right at home. flat shift sequential is pretty cool too. just a shame diesel means the gear ratios and revs are all over the place.

I can't see Bathurst on the track list, is it released?

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
