I wonder why you only covered less than half of the disciplines (road and open wheel) since there are also oval, dirt oval, rallycross and off road disciplines available in iRacing.
Got my D license earlier today (only started recently when you mentioned the half price offer). Really enjoying it so far. Thanks Kireth, been trying to figure everything else out up to now
Had to take a little downtime when my graphics card decided to fry itself and fracture the main chip and took a while to get a replacement (for a price I was willing to pay)
How I got out of rookie and increased irating was practicing a lot so I could qualify towards the front and then would let cars pass pretty easily. Speaking as a veteran of class D hehe
I had my first race yesterday…got 1st and improved safety rating, if you know how to drive…then DRIVE dont hide in the pits!!! Lets goo had a b license racer behind me. mx5@virginia
Top vid! Just progressed to C license and discovered F3 and having a blast, man. As you say, concentrate on your safety rating and you will be out of rookie really quickly. I see chat on different streams complaining how expensive iracing is. By the time you advance a bit you will have a pretty good idea what you want to do. Pick a class (or two)of you want to race and stick to it for an entire season. That way you will only buying the occasional track every now and then. Thanks for the vid. Cheers!
@@Kireth Good luck with the karting, if your hoping for rain I hope that it lashes down, if not then I hope that the sun will be cracking the flags. 🤞👍
apart from the subscription, how much is the cost of progressing? i m assuming none of the licenses will provide me a rental car and track...i want to get to GT3 and race in daytona...
Thanks for the insight mate. When you say 'it can get expensive' when hopping around and buying different cars- is that 'real money' expensive or do you win credits in-game to buy the cars? Is there a free-play feature too? Or is it purely just events at specific days and times?
@@Kireth can you not play the game at all without buying each track and car? like for example for all those D class series am i able to have like 1 or two tracks/cars per each of those series or is it all payed?
just started a 3 month sub with iracing. I want to get better at it but the Mazda car is horrible to drive so hard to control. its makes me not want to play sometimes.
I used to use a thrustmaster t150 for my PS4, I really want to get into iracing, so will my steering wheel work? The thrustmater t150?? I am a PC gamer, but will the thrustmaster work for PC?
I never played this game but I have watched a ton of videos. Everyone says the same thing... We only get 2 options and your video you say both options to choose from are bad. Does someone who is brand new have any other option to rank up other than Formula Vee and Mx-5 becuase otherwise I am confused with everything about iRacing
Neither of the options were labeled as bad, just pros and cons for both... if anything the video recommended the mazda series. Why do you think one is bad?
Next time, cut off that music plz. Its annoying and makes you hard to understand all. As someone with autism this was so distracting i stopped after 3min
I just started playing IRacing today and am deciding what to do? So I'm going to do a day or 2 of practice in both and decide in a day or so.. I found this video very helpful and explained a lot about this sim ! So many thanks.. I'll Update here after my decision... :)
So, you say that it is hard to gain SR in rookie mode, for me was easy, 5 races including first witch I've got locked on pit lane due jump start, the other one, started in mid field witch is kinda horror, but next 3 races was lodium ut 0 inc points, ez GAME.
I play ACC which I love. It looks, plays and sounds incredible. But I’d like more variety. I can’t consider iRacing - I want another sim, not another mortgage.
@@ewenblack4174 I do admire your bravery, sat behind your keyboard. Firstly, I do have a job thanks. And yes I can afford $30 a month. But it doesn’t end there, does it? No, it’s more $ per car and circuit. Out of principle, more than anything, I object to that. I’m sure they love people like yourself!
@@ewenblack4174 and when we our monthly subscription to Netflix, for example, that’s it. No further costs, even though they constantly add new content. See the difference between that and iRacing? You probably won’t.
nice argument guys.. i rly enjoyed reading that haha.. if you like it.. you play and pay, if not.. who cares, same for the ppl playin and paying.. who cares what ppl think who r not playin and not paying, if you enjoy it. the end
@@Kireth nice explanation video by the way....Their subscription model is the only thing keeping me away from trying it but will definitely give it a try in future
The advice about starting from the pits is bad for learning racecraft imo. It’s much better for getting a broader range of races to run, but the point of rookie racing is to try and gain that conceptual understanding of racing, competitively and safely. If you’re starting in pits you’re not practicing accident avoidance, race starts and close compact racing. Practicing this in rookie racing is perfect, you get a good variety of skill levels and you’re eventually going to become faster as you get safer, or vice verse. I went from 3.0R to 4.5B class and 750IR to 1700IR mostly through rookie and D class Mazda’s, gaining positions through the first lap and keeping it clean (plus the 4 required races in other classes)
I recently started and got my D license, so here's my feedback: Formula Vee was just as chaotic as the Mazda series. In fact, I lost more safety rating with the Vee races than with the Mazda ones due to the carnage. That being said, I think as a beginner it's best to try both out and get to know both cars and track(s) really well so that you can get better at driving it, avoid crashing, and overall get faster. No point in rushing to D in my opinion, those two series are great to learn, especially in races where you learn to anticipate others' mistakes, make trajectory corrections to avoid crashing into someone, etc... By doing this instead of focusing on upping your safety rating by not really racing, you end up being fast enough to qualify in front and leave the carnage behind you. That way, once you're in D class, you don't suck and lose all your irating.
Ye I started in mazdas on the grid every time and got out of rookie in 5 races. Had one where I got annihilated but just kepp your head on a swivel on the 1st lap. I got a couple podiums and a couple 5ths. Finished one race in 11th after I had to pit but just keep it on the track and you'll be fine. Getting hit doesn't tend to ruin your safety rating if you recover OK and keep it clean from there. I don't recommend starting in the pit, it's a bit boring.
the subscription is for base game, from what ive seen you get plenty of starter things to do and lots of content, it will keep you occupied. Yes you have to buy some tracks and cars, from what i have seen though if you grind the game like insanely hard you can get these things called 'credits' and use them to buy tracks and cars, although from what i can see it takes 'alot' of time to do that.
i am familiar with sim racing and am very consistent so rookies are easy for me if i start up front but still i have to watch out for lapped racers and first corner chaos if i can get through that i can usually finish top 3
How can you go about practicing on Iracing?? Is there options for going on track alone?? Is there options for doing practices with friends/teams if u wanna practice for a race together?? How do those features work?? These might be good thing to look at doing a video on
AI Racing is a good start (just under Go Racing). At least there are other cars on track, and you can pick the number and how good they are. Great way to learn tracks whilst also navigating slower cars
