    Hi all,

    My first blog here on iRW, I have only been on iRacing for about a week now and I am finding it very enjoyable to say the least but the learning curve is pretty steep. I wonder can anyone give me some good rookie tips or pointers to help me work on my lap times and race craft?

    You all should know I am partially sighted and sim race because it is the closest I will ever be able to get to driving for real. I have a Logitech G25 wheel which makes the experience so much better with the H pattern shifter :)

    Any tips and pointers would be very appreciated so I can start racing well on iR instead of being a nearvous wreck while sat on the grid :(

    Anyway take care all and thanks in advance.

• The Eternal Backmarker... The Eternal Backmarker...

    Hi.

    I've been simracing since 2007, started with VGP on the Race07 platform, got hooked on www.swedishsimracers.com where I soon joined their entry league. SSR GT Club on GTR2. Strictly Road racing, no ovals.

    Raced in that sprintrace format for a season, then joined the large GTR2 league, now with longer races, variable weather, pitstops etc. Man that was a lot to keep in mind :D

    Then after a while I got invited to the first public wave of iRacing, way before fasttrack became a concept. So basically I thrudged my way through the licenses, the Radical being my main goal, before I got to that, the Riley was announced  ... Being a long term Fan of ALMS & Prototypes I jumped at it, bought it way before I could race it. 

    I ran a full season in it in Div 10, and actually won the division championship, not from being particularly fast, I'm stuck somewhere around 1500 in iRating, but from driving one race per week and not DNF:ing.

    This brings me to the Backmarker note of the post, In all the time I've raced in leagues and the few races I've done here, I've never won a race! I've won a championship, but never a race. I'm the guy who starts somewhere in the back, mostly stays out of trouble but more often than not ends up a lap down to the podium. Basically the very definition of a Backmarker.

    More often than not it created sort of lonely races where you are stuck in a pace where you can't quite reach the guys in front, and the faster guys behind slowly getting closer for lapping.

    

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    But it's still fun! It also became a lot more fun as I took the step and went triple screen... 

    

     

     

     

    Here's a snip from the Daytona 2.4 that I ran:

    Now if only all these straps could bounce and move it would be even cooler 

     

    So that's some notes from a Backmarker, we may be slow, but we can still have fun racing!

• FOV FOV

  • From: Bruce Morse
  • Description:

    I have no experience driving any of the cars that we have in sim until we got the VW.  Now I can honestly say something is wrong with the FOV.  I sit in my VW and the perspective is a setting of 92 of my view in car.  The problem is if I set my view to what I really see in my real car I feel like I am in the back seat in iRacing.  To get the proper perspective of what I should see out of the cockpit I have to set the FOV to 65.  I cant even see the side view mirror at 65 rather than the rear view.

      I am finding this to be very annoying. It never bothered me until I got the VW  for me to actually compare to real life.  It is definitely diminishing my immersion level when the 2 point of views don't match.  Is there a way to get the correct perspective in both because I sure haven't found it.

    Edit:  Did some more testing last night with the FOV and am actually starting to like the 92 setting in iRacing.  I seem to be able to see the racing line better.  It is throwing my timing off as I am so used to driving with a 65 FOV.  I find it much more enjoyable to turn off the virtual and use the actual mirrors now that we can adjust them.  

    It does seem to vary by car though, for one 92 gives you a bad backseat view as does the LM.  The SR8 has the same backseat feeling also as does the Skippy.

    Very strange everything seems to be different for every car.

• Our Money IS working for US! Our Money IS working for US!

  • From: Ian Carey
  • Description:

    As an iRacing member, I have always wondered why this stuff is so exspensive. Then I run a few laps and all of those negative thoughts about the price go away. I was at Oxford Plains Speedway all weekend for the TD banknorth 250, and I had seen on the site that the iRacing tour was coming around. So that morning rolled around and I decided to get up and check out what was going on. WOW i was amazed. Not only did I get to meet friendly iRacing staff (thanks for the extra laps sean!) but I also got to race on a killer setup. At this point you may be asking what does this have to do with our money and why is it working for us? well here is your awnser Our money+friendly staff+Cool Trailer with the best sim on earth= more customers= continued expansion of the sim and sport. Pretty simple stuff huh?
