iRacing Update

Hey guys,

Anyone wanna hop on for a Rookie Legends race before the 12 deadline (servers go down).

I'm scheduled for a 11:30 EST run, not that I'm going to do any good.. safety ratings are down to like almost 2. because of how bad people drive...

Those Legends were fun at Thompson. I'd race with you, but I don't trust most of anyone in the Rookie races that count SR lol.

Trust me I feel the same way. Having to level there my Irating took a hit as I tried to stay out of the way of the fools. So glad to race the other levels and find people with far better attitudes and driving. If I was stuck in rookies or with those drivers I'd quit iracing in a heartbeat.

I'm trying to get out of the rookies but its hard as hell xD

What is so hard about it? It was very easy. I have been racing 2 weeks and have both my road and oval licenses at 3.6

Especially in the rookies I stayed back and dodged the idiots and let them overdrive it. I raced for SR not for the win. To many think they can win it in the first lap or first corner.

Now I run in the silverados and enjoy it with alot better driving.

Hmmm.. I might stay back more to get it up..

Its just that in the rookies especially, you have the kiddies that want to do nothing but win and will do it at all costs. By letting them have the position and staying out of the way you loose irating but have less chance of being hit by an idiot.

iRating isn't as important as safety, you progress through safety points, ain't it?

yes licenses are SR based. SR is king.

lower irating means you will be matched with others with comparable Irating.

Now because of the updates I have gotten a win and 4th in a legends race and gotten over 800 Irating points. LOL lovin it.

Ahhh, so glad they fixed the side skirt in the update. Also we finally have a damage model, will keep people who can't take care of their cars out of the Top 5.
