I like GT cars though, I'm not huge into Open Wheel or stock cars, so that's how'd I'd like to progress. The Mustang also runs on a lot of my favourite tracks. Maybe I should just get the Mustang and Road America and see how I like it, then go from there?
JavWhy not just go for the Riley, Ford GT or Corvette then? You can easily get up to C this week on the GTC and then you'll be able to run the GT Challenge series or Grand Am! The racing in those series is some of the best you'll find anywhere!
JavGuys, is it just me or have the track limits in general have become more flexible on S3?
Roush_fan_99I noticed that too at spa and the last turn at laguna seca
As for Mac's situation:
I'm probably with Jav that you should do GTC. However the mustang and V8 Supercar don't have the twitchiness that the others do and in a way it's tougher to drive but more forgiving on countersteer because it's not twitchy. I don't really like this new suspension model right now but it's a matter of practice and quite a bit of it. You know the MX5 well and can easily just jump in the GTC rather than practicing all week and getting only about 1-3 races in on sunday.
It is a tuff call because if you dont like the car you have basically wasted $15. The first car I bought was the Jetta and I hate the thing. Once a month I go back and try it hoping its gotten better only to be disappointed. I wish they had a test drive feature for iracing. Good news is though its the only car I regret buying.
Ye I saw fatkrakr post that, even if I thought wrong, I'm not slow mate![]()
JavThat's one tough car to drive! I hate the gearing on that car, makes it such a slug! Probably a good startegy to use it as it is one of the least used cars and odds are you won't be racing any noobs, but then again you'll manage to find noobs in MX5s doing the same times as you on a car that dives on a very fine edge...
I hear ya then fast guy. I never said you were slow I was just trying to be helpful in stating how the race splits work for those that don't know. I love how all these new guys think they are the next Michael Schumacher.

Well tonight sucks, there arent any GT cup races available and im sick of the Mazda cup. I tried doing some oval, but again its just a big crash fest and i ran into 2 really annoying kids who would not stop talking the whole race. I havent been racing much lately because im tired of being handicapped by my laptop, but hopefully ill have a good pc within the next month.
Sweet! Once you start getting solid 80 FPS and above on high settings you'll start to appreciate the simplicity and functionality of iRacing's graphics!
Mac KI've made my descision. I'm going to pass on the Mustang for now and run in the GTC until I get my C license and I'll either run in the GT Challenge or Grand Am. Quick question though, I looked in the sporting code and couldn't find how I upgrade my D class license to a C class license, is it the same as rookie? Promotions at the end of the month or an "auto promotion" if my safety rating hits 4.00?
Wait your saying I'm not the next Senna? I knew there was something I was missing lol!
My issue is sometimes it's hard to check my ego at the start and just be slow. I know I'm not always the fastest but to be the guy just riding around to a degree is hard for me. Road side of things are little different than oval to me though.
smuffyatfcpNoob question. How do you fastrack a licence class?
MadRRI guess there is always a chance!
I know where you are coming from. I've been on iracing a year now and it probably wasn't to about 6 months ago or so until I really started to get more aggressive because I had a better feel for the cars at the limits. Which do you race more road or oval? I was always a road guy but got into oval just before I got into iracing that was one of the things that lead me to iracing was oval racing. I'm trying to balance out racing both, but I seem to do more oval stuff.
Kevin, regarding certain players being annoying, you can assign a button to mute a driver.
My guess is you hit the mute button when he's talking, and the next time he talks it'll show his named and "(Muted)" next to it. Mute button will probably unmute him.
