In that hope, to do my part I just ran the 0900 EST Indy Open at Watkins Glen and there were 9 cars which for that time of day is pretty good. Finished 5th after battling hard for 4th all race and then finally overcooking my rear alternates and falling back a few seconds to the finish.

The Glen is excellent, but holy poo poo TMS on the oval fixed series feels like a murderdome where you're holding on for dear life for 75 laps. Really looking forward to next week at the Nords

Patch notes say they changed the Indy Fixed setup, according to the forum it wasn't actually the setup they meant to send over. It was very twitchy (I haven't tried the new one yet) on cold tires but I liked it much more overall. The car isn't trying to send you straight into the wall as soon as you've put 20+ hot laps on the tires and have maxed out the weight jacker. Really my big problem with it is that (again, worse on cold tires) it felt like the steering wasn't loving connected with a giant deadzone in center.

took a break from iRacing and just getting back into it again now. yeah it might be rookie and it might be unranked, but carbeurator cup at daytona is fun as hell in the trucks. I've been fortunate enough to have some really good races and 10 lap sprints are rad compared to the longer stuff I'll end up getting back to once I feel comfortable jumping into C class

Hanging out setting up a final lap run in the top 4 is so fun.

ROAR was fun, for 38 laps until I hit the bus stop exit wrong and my GT4 got cozy with the wall.

I had to give up iRacing a few years back when the whole "having a baby" experience consumed every moment of my spare time but I might be starting up again. What are the popular road racing series at the moment? Are there still far too many championships for the amount of drivers running them and a whole load of series that never go official or have things improved since then?

There’s still quite a few that have low participation, but there are plenty at each tier that are popular. GT3 still dominates the charts, but plenty of good racing to have in other series. For rookies mx5 always has tons of splits. Going into D the PCC multi class usually has at least one, but the Clio sees very low drivers; the F4 and FF series are popular for open wheel. Class C is a bit of a funky spot but the adv mx5 series usually does okay, and if you want to keep going with open wheelers the F3 series does well generally. https://iracingreports.com/ This is a useful site to check out participation for all of the series.

GR86 always has good participation as well. Dclass and I know there are people that don't like driving that car very much but the participation is always there.

Practiced for over an hour for the weekly challenge at Okayama only to snap into the barrier after T2 on lap 1 and get meatballed. I've never died there before. Redman often gets me if I'm pushing but never there. The worst thing is it was top split and I actually had the pace to be mid-pack and it was a remarkably clean race where nobody else died or quit, making me dead last. It was nice being 1.5k rated for those few races, my goal is to have an average of over 1.5k iRating over 20 races. I think I'm capable with a reasonable schedule but not with mistakes like that, bit gutting as that combo is a favourite of mine, I expected to gain here ahead of a tough time at Mosport in the GR86. At least I'll almost certainly be an second split if I race again and I should do OK if I learn not to drive into things. Other than that, I did note with satisfaction that I held my brakes as soon as it was obviously unsaveable and narrowly avoided a massive accident which almost certainly would have happened if I let my car roll back onto the track. Who gets a 0x at Bathurst and then self-meatballs at Okayama, honestly? As an aside, has anyone running VR found that the newest Racelabs massacres their framerate? Like it was below 20FPS with it on and closing it instantly welds my framerate to 90FPS. Roller Coast Guard posted:What are the popular road racing series at the moment?

I race in the evening UK time and I'm never short of a race in GT3 - bit sweaty Ferrari Challenge - GT3 but less sweaty and more crashy F4 - loving madhouse Production Car Cup - Toyota or Mazda only, few people drive the Clio or Mustang Formula Ford - love the car and the people racing seem really nice too Porsche Cup - hard car to drive and unlike the Ferrari it won't double up as a GT3 Advanced MX-5 Trying to plan a race with a 2 year and and 3 month old is fun!
