[PC] iRacing

[Garrett67]

Now the only thing I need is a new chair/seat (or pull the wheels off of the one I have). Having a rug helps but when I'm working the pedals hard, I start moving backward a little and have to adjust on straights. Mildly annoying.

EDIT: Nope, can't pull off the wheels. The center shaft protrudes out of the bottom.

So, if you guys know of a good chair that won't move, is good for racing, is inexpensive but also good for working on the computer... let me know.

The wheels are permanently on there? You cant replace with wheels that lock?

Yeah, I suppose I could replace them. Didn't think of locking wheels. Me stoopie.

btw, that is a very cool name! So cool in fact, it almost sounds made up.




Me practicing some Laguna Seca. I love this camera view, great for seeing not only the lines you're taking but also to see the track from a different perspective. Sometimes you don't realize how a turn really looks until you see it from above.

Just an FYI, these tracks come with a 'school' version which has cones marking where you should make your turns and what to aim for coming out of a corner. Not only is it handy but if gives you something realistic (which I have seen on real training videos) instead of a line drawn on the track.

iRacing just posted the Indianapolis 500 events. Would be cool to participate, but man, that's an event that just screams safety rating destruction lol.

In watching a video, it was suggested to use the throttle blip setting to keep from locking the wheels up down shifting.



Btw ,I love using the H-shifter. It just feels right.

Hey JBauer, we're keeping track of everyone's iRacing content in the Apex forum. Go post up what you have.

So since my birthday is this weekend and that means I'll probably be getting some cash from family members, I'm probably going to purchase some content, probably 3 pieces to get the 10% discount. I'd LIKE to get the Z4 GT3, Watkins Glen and Brands Hatch or Interlagos, but I think I'm going to play it smart and get things that I'd need for D-class licensed series for whenever I actually make it to that license. What interest me there is the Global Challenge with the Cadillac/Kia races and the Mustang Cup. There are only two tracks that overlap that I don't have, which is Watkins Glen and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Obviously the schedules will change for season 3 (I assume?), but these two tracks seem to show up a lot anyways. So I'm thinking I might purchase the Mustang, Watkins Glen and Mosport.

But, I'd like to run it by our other iRacing peeps. I want to purchase content that others are either interested in or have so that we can always run together (makes it more fun that way). So what do you guys think?

 

[Garrett67]

I'm addicted to this. I can't think about or want to do anything else. :intervention:

I'm scheduled to race Thursday. I was running good laps at Laguna last night. Just need to cut the incidents down. Although, a couple corners are sensitive to 'off track' messages.

Yeah I ran one at Laguna last night and I kept getting an Off Track on the final corner even though I was only hitting the rumble strips. I guess maybe my right rear tire maybe barely touched the dirt?

What's your times like at Laguna? I can run a 1:47:xx-1:48:xx pretty consistently without traffic. No clue how these guys can run 1:45:xx lap after lap, though.

 

[Garrett67]

My best is 1:52 , that was a fixed setting
