Well, the realism hits you like a ton of bricks. I find it easier, because its more realistic. If you don't have a wheel, forget it.

If you have a wheel, get it. Make sure you have some money lying around first. Expensive. But worth it.
 
driving force GT enough or are the clutch wheels (G27) required? how much?
 
DFGT is enough as you can enable the auto clutch meaning you don't need one :).

This is true. I just did a race. I raced a guy for the whole 25 minutes (proto and GT fixed) and we were weaving through GT traffic in a draft on the back straight at Watkins Glen! Soooo fun!
 
Fixed setup races sound perfect, my mate is trying to setup a V8 supercar and has no clue how to. I told him to stick to fixed setup cars until he can get a vet to give advice :p.
 
what all can you do in and with iracing? how much customization etc

Anything. You can make your own paint schemes, with anything on them!

(I saw a guy with a sex toy scheme xD)

Suspension, aero and everything can be adjusted too :)
 
Yeah you can adjust really minor aspects of the car, can get rather anal ;). Btw anyone notice Pure got mentioned in the news, makes me so proud to have helped and been a part of it :D.
 
power? weight? or is that fixed?

Fixed, but you can adjust it in hosted races.

Just had a GREAT race at Suzuka in the HPD. Neither me (4th) or the other guy (3rd) knew it was going to be the last lap... he messed up the last chicane, I overtake into T1. I get held up by a Corvette and he sneaks by. He messes up the chicane, I get right besides him. We go side by side into that double apex down hill monster. I let him have it because he was a hair ahead. I get a KILLER run out into 130R. I was too close and didn't want to rear end the guy, so I lift a little. He gets just a bit too far out. Then I get him on braking into the last chicane, but I don't go down to 1st gear... I took it in second :ouch: I didn't get the acceleration I needed, and we drag race to the finish! He gets me by a half a car!

The best last lap I've had on iRacing!!!!!
 
hmmm...maybe i'll try it for one month some time. would it keep my info/profile info if i did one month and then paid for another month much later down the road?

You have a link to that?

Also does racing automatically charge you or do you have to put money in manually?
 
www.isrtv.com is the web site the deal for iracing is usually in a banner at the top of the page.
 
They have two deals right now one for 25% off a one year member ship and one for $5 for the first month just refresh the page too get the one you want
 
Wow, wasn't even aware of this series. If I can, I'd like to advise two slight cosmetic suggestions based on the real series:

Having looked hard at the Stevenson Motorsports team, I think the Camaros should have rear spoilers:

Likewise after watching the Doran team several times, I also think the 370Z should have its small wing (Option A from GT Auto).

Again, just some suggestions. Not exactly free enough to participate in this, but definately intent on watching it 👍
 
Sorry it took so long to respond- but we looked into aero, and it didn't work, while looking real.

Only 1/4 if the cars have their real aero in the game, so giving it to that 1/4 gives them an unfair advantage.

We're racing today at Tokyo R246.. how many laps+1?
 
R0ssingt0n
Number of laps are usually decided by polar in the lobby, I'm guessing 20-30. I could be wrong though.
