Thank you man, can't wait to try it this weekend with my good old G27
Nice. Have fun, and come back when you've got questions, and
you will have questions. The iRacing forum is also quite good, so check that out too.
A few tips:
- Start by doing test sessions by yourself to get familiarized with the track/car. Get the lap times down, get comfortable over a race distance. There are no penalties in this mode, but it does tell you where you'd be penalised if it were a real session.
- Do an open practice session next to get used to being around other drivers.
There are penalties in these sessions, so here is the start of where you should be confident you can drive without spinning off.
- Be sure to qualify for your races. Even if you're the slowest guy out there, you'll benefit from starting at the front since most people don't bother with qualifying. You'll reduce your chances of being taken out, and obviously improve your finishing order chances. You can also start from the pitlane by not clicking "join" button after warmup. Not a bad option for your first race.
- The "cycle delta display", and the "relative black box" are must haves for your HUD. Map them to something convenient like a wheel button. The delta gives you important info on your lap times. The relative box (to your competitors) shows you if you're catching or being caught, but also helps with safely entering the track (from the pits or off road). Helps with lapping/being lapped as well.
- Being clean should be the goal. You're rewarded with early graduation to the next class by getting your safety rating up to 3.0 (and doing the required number of races).
