Rough start of the season... - iRacing GT4 Fixed - S3W1 

Cheers buddy! 😁✌

Thank you buddy! 😁✌🏻

Hey man! Thanks for the advice! I think it worked! I just did a race and the fps was higher than before, even on higher graphics! I'll do some testing with recording later, but hopefully it's fine! I'll look into doing the SCC multiclass, it sounds awesome! I plan to do an LMP3 season in the future! 😁✌

@@RedBeardRacingRBR I have done 2 SCC races today. once with GT4 and once with LMP. It is hectic but very fun and difficult. In GT4 expect LMPs to do silly late sends sometimes into places. I have done my LMP3 race after GT4 and I also did like 2 late lunges that I thought I could do. Luckily just cost me time, not taking out the GT4. Best advice is to be vigilant, stick to your line and be predictable. Nothing worse than late evasive maneuvers to let them by, only to block them and get punted, because they already planned out a way around you. Good luck!

@@Django45 That's awesome man! What sort of laptimes are you running in GT4 at this track, and what car are you driving? I'm able to do low to mid 1:30's consistantly. I would love to improve... I bet the LMP3 feels like a rocketship compared to the GT4! I already felt it was quite a big jump coming from the Mazda's.

@@RedBeardRacingRBR I was able to get low 1:30s on a good day but in the race managed mid to high 1:30s. I decided to drive BMW the entire season. I dont run any custom setups, just clicked one less wing for the high downforce preset. The GT4s are overall more stable than Mazda but a lot faster, so you need to learn how to react quicker. I heard you say that you expected more crashes, since mazdas had lots, this is the reason. I would not say it is easier or harder than Mazda, it is different. The LMP is a different beast to GTs, it has more aero and needs a very different approach, especially on brakes, since it has no ABS, just TC and if you downshift too fast to 2nd, you can easily lock the rears when braking somewhat hard. I was running the fixed setup with BB 2 clicks to the back and I was careful with downshifts to 2nd. It can be snappy on curbs or compressions under braking or coasting while changing directions. Aero is still a bit of a mystery to me, since I was always a GT boy. But I am learning.

It's very interesting that the GT4 and LMP's need a totally different approach! I can imagine the LMP's having a lot more downforce can be tricky to get used to. I've driven in the Dallara LMP2 a few years back. Back then I didn't learn the proper skills to drive such a machine. I remember all I did was lock up and spin haha! I did a little bit of driving in the FIA F4 as well. Which I suppose has some similarities with the LMP's. The F4 feels super quick as well! I'm considering adding that as an additional series. But I'm not so sure if I have enough time to practice for both series. By the way, what's your iRating?

Unfortunately I had to buy them... I would love to see a "test before you buy" feature from iRacing in the future! What helped me narrowing it down was to watch some reviews of the cars.
