thank you so much for this, I like the idea of dirt but I couldnt figure out how to set up my slides ride. in just a couple laps I took like 8 seconds off my times. now I only suck in stead of really suck. :)

Best video I've seen for these cars! Really hope you guys make more of these for the different dirt cars. Keep up the good work

....struggled with street stock dirt... watched this video and won my next race :) great tips

good stuff, thanks Andrew.

Love the video & the shirt!! Can you do one for the sprint cars as for a novice these tips are very education

When dirt track builds rubber and is rubber edges up the key is to try abd drive as straight as possible with out much sliding so you don't burn rr or hang rr right above the black slick. The less amount of angle in the corner your car slides helps to keep up momentum on any dirt track and corner sleex

Eat, Sleep, Simrace. Where the heck did you get that shirt? It's perfect. Great video Andrew.

John G. Hill yes. I need this shirt!

I've been trying to teach myself how to drive this like I have done for every other series- problem is, they are on pavement... I couldn't wrap my head around how to dirt race since it's slightly different.

Sir if you don't mind could I please ask a big favor I'm a KZread Creator myself and I love your intro what kind of editing platform do you use

geat video!!

1:40 is were u hit the divet pothole at my local track and end up licking the wall or plum crashed in to it every one goes high at 1 throw the yellow again lol

You use brakes here for a ss? I’ve always use throttle control no brakes needed, because you need your car to stay wound up. I hit the limiter on the entrance to every corner

Thank you for this. I can drive the dirt cars. I can run mid pack. I can't seem to hang with the big boys though. I keep studying these videos because... well... I'm getting frustrated. Stable isn't fast. When I think I'm fast, I'm slow. There is so much finesse with these things!

It's all concept, and not skill. I'd say I'm a rather on the better side when it comes down to dirt, normally running top 3. You just gotta learn the physics of the cars movement, and how to properly countersteer without overdoing it. Learn the physics of the car, and bing bam boom your a fast driver now.

Apologies for the late response. You'll find a lot of this on dirt, I recommend playing with the steering ratio and don't focus on having the wheel straight expecting the car to be going perfectly straight either. I can't say for certain whether you should raise or lower the ratio, because it all depends on whether you're overreacting and steering too much to compensate, or not reacting quick enough and not steering enough to keep it straight. Hope this helps

throttle control and less oversteer

@mynuggets_oz779

5 жыл бұрын

eg full throttle feels faster but your tires must be spinning so lift and get back on it should correct it, keeping full throttle your more than likely doing fishtails down the straight, or over correcting on your exit

I been racing in real life since 10 first car was a asphalt street stock and dirt abd asphalt wise I have raced any car you can think of in real life abd iracing is the best and most realistic you can get with out being in the car at the track in real life. And all the tracks and cars relate to real life and the tracks are exactly perfect compared to the track in real life. Like five flags speedway I use to race their every weekend and mobile on the weekends five flags didn't run and ot feels exactly the same on iracing and same line just like it is in real life

I keep having a problem with the car wanting to shoot straight up towards outside wall and nose into it, Every track and most all conditions. Am i on the gas to hard to soon ?? What can i do ??

@AJFay77

6 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the super late response, that's on me. You're most likely counter steering too far or too long (depending on when exactly you experience this). Your throttle input has almost nothing to do with this, honestly lifting off of the gas will exaggerate the overcorrection possibilities since the weight will be transferred to the front tires and wherever they are pointed you'll be heading.

@ball-se6gu

Жыл бұрын

aside from what the other guy said for anyone reading this 5 years later.... big issue is timing. if you have that snap, it's more than likely weight transfer from poor timing and too much steering. try trail braking the turn sooner and further with 1/4 to half throttle, then lay it down nice and smooth on the apex. car should roll through the exit nicely with good exit speed. when you come in too hot and lay it sideways, you tend to suck out all your momentum and the weight transitions back to the front wheels during countersteer, causing a harsh bite.

Why start w/ the "Toughest To Drive Out Of The Box" car? What car should someone w/ NO dirt experience start with?

This is the car you MUST drive in order to get out of rookies. It's difficult and that's why you should learn it first. If you can drive these fast you can drive them all fast. Don't spoil yourself with the glued down winged sprint cars for your first couple of races because then when it comes to race something like these you're in the wall.

Dry slick is not the same as rubbered up. On a rubbered up race track the track actually gains grip and can be just as fast a tacky track.

Ryan Buhler I think he was referring to when it takes too much rubber/turns black and shiny. you're right though, if it's a light grey, it will have SOME grip, but briefly, depending on ambient temp, type of tire compound, how much rubber they lay down, etc.

Trey, you’re exactly right. Thank you. Holy shit it’s so annoying listening to people say it’s rubbered up. ITS NOT RUBBERED UP ITS CALLED DRY SLICK. If people think that’s rubbered up then drag racers wouldn’t be doing burn outs.

One of my biggest problems I'm having is my steering setup, I have a Thrustmaster T150. If anyone has any steering setup tips, I'd very much appreciate them.

The T150 isn't really good enough for dirt on iracing. My best to is to get a t300 or better wheel. I used the t150 for years and just upgraded to the thrustmaster ts-xw. The t150 is too weak to appropriately make the wheel heavy and then go light when it's time to exit the corner. :(

I've not tried running with the help line on for dirt, not sure where it recommends you run to be honest. As far as where iRacing wears the track in, it's not always the best groove, and after they wear it in it's even less so. With the new cushion update though, next to the wall is the best place almost everywhere now

This is not the hardest car to drive out of the box. Mind you, the easiest actually lol. I've got like a 2.35 Rookie level on asphalt, and 2.96 Class - D on dirt.

STOP with calling it rubbered up. It’s not rubbered up it’s dry slick. If it was rubbered up the car would be stuck to the track and your times would be the fastest they’ve ever been.

the reason it develops the black slick look is because of the tire particles. that’s why he says rubbered up, it is.
