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.

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?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
