Hey guys, I just signed up yesterday & it took me a while to get used to everything (first PC sim, first time on iRacing (obviously) & it was my first time using my T500rs)
All was going well though there was some trips into the walls.
I eventually tried a Qualy event at Lime Rock & got a 1:00.1xx which I was proud of seeing as I started the day with a 1:02
I looked at the standings (I came 3rd btw) 58.6xx. Is that a normal time or was he just an alien? I lost most of my time in the first sector but the last sector I was the fastest
I started my first race (against the 58sec guy) I was 2nd so it looked good for a podium finish
Had a poor start went down to 4thThen a guy spun out directly in front of my & I couldn't move, ruined my car, race & now my rating is 2.21
Seems like a struggle for me to get promoted quickly now
Also I seem to always get a bit on the grass coming out of the corners & that kills my safety rating too. Do I just stick to some slower yet safer lines & go around with no incident's to increase the rating or just try winning?
I just managed a 59.993 you don't know just how excited I got when I looked down & saw that I actually got under 60secs!
Have you gotten the latest T500RS settings?
The recommended ones in the T500 thread is old now. Basically everything is correct but move the main strength or what it´s called from 100% to 60%
Then use the slider in game until you find the sweet spot for you.
T500 is simply amazing
And to answer your question, practice more until your just as quick but never touch the grass. More practice will make you safer and not put that front wheel or rear wheel on the grass so much
And yes, everybody will hit a wall where it seems everybody crashes in front of you and you always end up in carnage. Just fight through it and later with the experience you will be able to dodge 99% of the wrecks. Sometimes it´s impossible i know
