best way to get irating is the shorter races, just as much irating as the long ones but your race is only 15min which would cut your time in half, so ferrari challenge or lmp2 challenge is good for irating

@AleksandrRudiak

with 5.5k it also should be very popular (lmp2 is not very popular) cause he won't get much with irating for winning in the 2k sof split

If you liked the W11, why not give the Super Formula 23 a try? There's generally a very competitive top split, the car is very fun to drive (unforgivable at times) and I'm fairly sure you'd get some high SoF here and there.

In the first race you say a few times you don't know where he is. Within kapps there's a Car Left/Right spotter. It's SUPER helpful when you're on a single screen and 2 wide! I almost can't race without it now

The best iRating farming series is the "TCR fixed", short races, cars are tanks so very little chance to dnf, and it's the go-to series to farm iRating for most of the fast drivers, at least on the roadside. On a side note, if you want to further hone your skills for multiclass racing, check "Classic IMSA series", it's probably the most difficult experience you'll get, the multiclass interaction is so fast and hectic it will make other series feel like "easy mod" when you jump back to them.

I tip my hat to you 👍grinding from 2k to 4k is one thing but 5k to 8k is gonna be a grind, low sof races = low IR gain or tanking 100 IR in one race if you get crashed out, and high sof races are fought tooth and nail at the pointy end ......good luck hope you make it by march ✌

@notdreadyet33 really depends what you are racing. In Oval you want it as wide as possible so you can see the frt bumper clearly to make changing lanes easier. In road you can run less. Think mine is around 90-100

why when you are pitting do you only replace the rears and also why do you constantly switch from 1st to 2nd gears? class video as always

Hello mate, enjoyed the video. Are you using a single screen? Noted a few times you mentioned not been able to see those alongside. Due to space constraints I can only use a single screen. Currently have lg c3 42 but wondering if should switch to ultra wide…assuming that’s what you have I’d love your opinions. Cheers

Can someone tell me the reason for the quick up/down shifting in pits?

Wow what an ending, great job!

@Jaaames

You're missing the screen real estate of triples over the 49" Ultrawide?

Just found your channel and I’m hooked

Would recommend you lock your fps to the minimum you get out on track so around 190/200fps from the looks of it. Helps give consistent frame timing which results in consistent input delay and an overall smoother feeling game. Should do this in any game you play whether it's a sim or other genre's that rely on precies timing of inputs

I know it's not the same, but the GT4 setups from VRS have always been very good, maybe worth looking into the IMSA setups there?

@Jaaames

Great races! Just a tip for you pc, try putting a limit to the fps in your gpu driver or in-game so that it doesn't stress out the gpu more than necessary. Idk what Hz monitors you have tho... Cheers
