iRacing Buyers Guide: Cars & Tracks You Should Get! 

I’d recommend the GR86 between the Mazda and GT4. It’s free, has been run on a lot of free tracks and you can race multi class in the Production Car Challenge series.

Hello guys. Just got my membership and I'm eager to learn the ropes. This video is a great video for rookie day one racers. Thank you for the advice, looking forward to learning from everyone.

I just got into iRacing and this has helped in a ton of ways, thanks for your recommendations!

Great video you guys! Definitely gave me a better understanding of what direction I should go

I've just taken another look at Iracing online . I'm happy to see all the Porsche cars that are available. My 3 favourite real-life cars are an MX-5, Mini Copper, and any kind of Porsche . The 992 Cup Car is a special beast. I love Porsche. Old Porsche, new porsche, and any other type. It's cool that all these cars are available to use. Good video. Thankyou.

If your gonna run the gt4 or tcr in D class, when you get your c class you can save some money by bumping up to the 30 min open series from the 15 min fixed

Whats recommended in road is that you focus on ONE car first to understand the physics. AFTER the Rookie car that is, as these have sort of peculiar car physics. So lets say you`ve made it past Rookies and are now eligible to race Ferrari fixed (GT3) and that tempts you. Well, get the Ferrari, and learn that car. Like, for real, not only for a few weeks. And get the tracks in that series. iRacing in road is playing the long game. To actually master a single car usually takes you years. And with every change to the physics model of the sim, there´s a new learning curve again. As opposed to the vid, I STRONGLY discourage you from buying the Cup Porsche as a relative noob. It´s one of the hardest to drive cars in iRacing, and frustration is guaranteed if you don´t have a sound understanding of driving physics in general and iRacing sim physics yet. Trackwise the choice is as subjective as it gets. I´m German and I don´t like Nordschleife, for example. I like the American tracks, yes, Sebring and Daytona and stuff, but Spa is a good choice for an European track as it has a good mix of technical, slow and fast sections, so practicing Spa will hone your skills.

the main cars I'd go through to have fun and get good at the start are probably the mx5 -> skippy -> porsche cup

My garage has been locked up and all my cars are now wheel clamped. Thank you, I-racing subscription for looking after all those who have finance your business.

It is worth pointing out the Mercedes W12 became legacy content after a year and you should expect the same of the W13 which is probably why the participation is low (was never an issue for the W12). HPD remains the best $4.95 I have ever spent even though racing it is limited to leagues..

i'd add Road America and the Dallara lmp2, lots of use.

I like the GR86 and Renaul Clio very much. Slow cars, but fun and close races there :)

Don’t buy one thing at a time, use the discounts they offer, over time it saves a lot of money.

Besides the GT4 series for D class, the 488 GT3 has been giving me killer races and a sneak peek at what’s to come in C

I would suggest against open wheel when you first start, almost any contact particularly wheel to wheel is deadly, where slight door to door sedan contact is much easier. If you learn to drive the Porsche cup well you can drive anything.

Thank you so much for this video! I have about $120 that I’m going to spend on content and I need to do it wisely lol

Lmdh are now a good choice. The Cadillac is awesome , bmw is cool , and now Porsche will is coming next season. Hopefully they make an actual lmdh specific series

Ferrari 488 EVO is a great option as well. Fixed series in D class and more series it can compete it in C and up. It also performs well in GT3.

W12, W13 are my recommendations

only bought 1 track and 2 cars so far: the gen 4 oval car, the ferrari 296 gt3, and daytona :D

I agree with the GT3. The BMW is the way to go. Ive driven all of them and it feels the most balanced to me.

You should have mentioned the Ferrari as a starter GT3 car due to the fixed setup beginner series that typically has a large turnout.

So wait you don’t have options? How to I race Honda civics and what are the popular tracks for that.

This game is more greedy than EA and thats an accomplishment

can i test cars before i buy them? thx

i definitely bought too many cars and tracks, i probably regret at least half of them today. just one gt3 car, one gt4 car and the 992 cup car would already do the trick for me. i also should've only bought tracks that i actually like to race on, but instead i also bought many that i dont like and hence i never really have driven them. i spent probably 300-350€ on content. 100-150 would've sufficed.

1. Stick with Mazda mx5 and learn the handling / physics / free tracks 2. Obtain d license (be prepared many rookies will crash into you) 3. Once mastered mx5, go to GR86 and repeat as before learn the car and available tracks 4. Once mastered purchase Ferrari 488 and join the fixed races.

You didn’t mention Stock cars (NASCAR) and Dirt ovals

Should be called the Loaners guide... yes i hate the subscription model, i'll see myself out!

EMREE!!!

Who doesn't want to see Max versus Chase at Daytona and Monaco? If you want to get crazy you could add Herta/Newgarten/O'Ward. I think each would win their specialty (duh) but by what margin? What do you say when the specs for each car, or tracks change? I so love motorsport! (my ability in the sims only shows my age-)

this is random but your voice calmed me down so quick idk why

an advise from an oooold timer (10+years) yall dont have too rank up the ladder, yull be punished more driving lower class races when youre A class . This is not Gran tourismo !! Think of iracing as real racing, get some skills before heading out so you wont kill everyone 😇

Lol, Chase Elliot? Really?

Buy none of them.

YWNBAW

TLDW: buy Assetto Corsa Competizione

Downvote for poor information sharing at 10:40

You're not buying anything. You are leasing when it comes to iRacing.

"Try to be the next Max Verstappen" lol i would not wish that man's face on anyone

Buy ACC ....far better overall
