Hi all, Just started my first ever iRacing subscription and I must say......How frustrating it is, I have all the simbin games and r-factor and all though I am not the quickest online, I can still race within 0.5secs of the guys I have run with...That was until I tried iRacing, What a difference it is!
I had my 1st race last night in a legends race and all though I finished 6th, I found it really hard to keep the thing pointed in the right direction, I couldn't apply throttle like some of the faster guys out of the corner, Too much and I would spin, Too little and I suffered major understeer and found myself way out wide on corner exit, The other thing that I couldnt get to grips with was heavy braking, These things are undrivable under braking and found myself coasting into corners to avoid excess brake pressure otherwise the thing would just throw me off the track!!
I thought it was just the legends, But I cant seem to get any consistent laps in without spinning in any car! I must admit that I have just upgraded to the g27 after I decided to sell on my dfgt and maybe I need more time with the wheel, Though after doing some offline practise in gtr2 and r-factor, I felt pretty good with the wheel...Are the physics in iRacing that much more realistic than the other sims I play?
What newbie advice can anyone give to me for iRacing, I don't want to remain a rookie, Though right now I cant see what I can do to improve, I have been on it all day, trying to find a consistent style of driving and yet I cant seem to find a good balance....HELP!!
