    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.

    I've not been iRacing long, couple of months at least - but I've been signed up since late 2008.

    It's only recently I've been taking to the track more often in what is widely regarded as the most advanced simulator for four-wheeled vehicles to date.

     

    My online racing career spans right to the present from September 12th 2008. Before that, I was a teenager racing Gran Turismo and ToCA on a gamepad. My wheel wasn't great; I had a Madcatz Xbox 360 wheel that turned a riveting 270 degrees lock-to-lock. Not pleasant! Needless to say, after half a year of incredibly frequent racing (maybe 4 times a week in a professional league for rFactor), it was time to upgrade. It was then that I bought my Logitech G25.

     

    I do admit, I wasn't keen on iRacing way back then. I didn't like the way races were run, I didn't like the physics (yes...) and I didn't like the safety rating system. I'd raced rFactor so many times, I just couldn't finish a race here.

     

    Another year passes and I begin to grow bored of rFactor's poor and wrongly-praised tyre physics. I wasn't getting much satisfaction from winning races left, right and centre (well not quite, but I had a string of podium finishes of over twenty with no DNF's, but that became boring too). And so, in April/May 2010 I rejoined iRacing to be greeted with a whole host of super-quick guys and found myself learning a whole new learning curve. The car felt perfect, like I would drive any other car. It was predictable, controllable...I just wasn't 'quick' in the status I'd presumed to be in rFactor. I loved it. I loved learning it all again. I loved battling in the middle of the pack, keeping out of trouble and seeing my safety rating go up. If I'd had a poor race, spinning off or hitting another car or a wall, I'd see that safety rating drop and it would annoy me, and therefore I would go at it even harder than before to build it back up.

     

    Now, all I need to say is that defending a position and winning a race in iRacing means much more to me than it did in rFactor, or any other sim. I get the adrenaline, I get the desire to push and I get the desire to defend my position and gain more positions no matter what it takes.

     

    I'm an iRacer.

    Another day for another post and almost another victory. After totally missed indianapolis, and doing a lot of mistake in the first race i made yesterday on lime rock with the skip.

    I feel like i have to try again and hope i would make a result. After a start at the second place. I was on attack, but unfortunately, a lapper made me loose a lot of time. I had to go on harder, and was time from time reducing the gap between me and the first, alejandro. But unfortunately for him, he made a mistake at 15 lap from the goal.

    I was now first, i continued to attack for almost five lap; and as i was ten second before the second. I have made a end of race very slow.

    So here it is, last season it was my first win ever, and it was in late model from oval. Now i am really proud to have made my first victory one a road track.

     

    and this week it's brandy!!!
