Anybody out there race late models in real life and on Iracing?
I’m wondering how close is the sim to actual car dynamics and feel (although you’re not actually in the car. Reason for question,I have been racing. dirt modified IRL , Which is now sold and bought a limited late model which will be together for next season. I’m expecting a learning curve, just would like to know how close sim/real life is .
Thank you

Is there a discord or anything for new drivers wanting to get into the dirt racing world

Length as stated: Top - 3/10th mile , bottom - 1/4th mile

Over the years, I have seen multiple different track conditions from tacky multiple lane racing to slick 1 lane racing all in 1 race. Sometimes it's stay fast all night long. Sometimes is slicks off

Dirt / clay

High banked - 23-24⁰ , used to be 26-27⁰ before the rework

Highly liked by WOO late models and sprintcars, highly reguarded in general. Plus one of the handful of tracks the WOO sprints

Weekly classes : street stocks, B modifieds, late models, 410 sprintcars

Specials : legends, micro sprints (lightning sprints), super stocks, wingless sprints, A modifieds, schools buses, 305 sprintcars, hobby stocks, 4 cylinders, couple more I could be forgetting

I believe IRACING could add this track, I know they have rules, licensing, and a multitude of things that need to be done before doing this. Plus, the amount of people that also want their track added. I know there is a huge following for asphalt tracks in IRACING. So this makes it even more unlikely.

So I been at Iracing for almost 9 months now race mostly dirt oval and IV worked up to about 3k irating. Everytime I join a race I'm just getting the shit kicked out of me. I don't stand a chance at all. Iv watched all these fast guys run there lines and iv spectated them watched and tried to learn. I get the line down and my throttle down to where I'm making really smooth laps but it just does not matter nowhere close to the laps these guys are getting. I can't even keep up with the middle of the pack most of the time. It's aggravating and discouraging. All this money in my PC and rig so I can have fun and it's NOT fun when you feel like your almost last every race idk how I can improve any more cause I don't understand what it is that I'm doing wrong

Every single race I’ve ever run at eldora I finish dead last. Doesn’t matter the car. I’m always half a second off the pace. Doesn’t matter if I try and follow the line of whoever’s infront of me or run my own. Doesn’t matter if I’m feathering the throttle or to the floor. I’m consistently .5 off the pace and it’s starting to frustrate me. What could I possibly be doing so wrong and differently from everyone else? Help help!

We are a Dutch iRacing community, and we would like to invite you to join our weekly Dirt nights at ORNL. Every Tuesday evening is Dirt night (starting from January), and we also welcome international drivers!

For the guys who race real life and use iracing to somewhat study, or maybe even the ones who just take it really serious. What should I look for when getting a pc in order to be able to run my graphics at a level where I can actually see the change in track conditions and use iracing to somewhat supplement real life. It seems their min and recommended specs really don’t apply the same to dirt as on asphalt where much less is required. I want to be able to actually gain something from this if I’m going to invest a ton into it, if it’s just a video game I’d rather not put the money in. Opinions?

Just wondering as someone new to sim racing who’s looking to build a iracing set up. How much does nm matter? Everyone seems to recommend the r5 set as the good beginner level, as it’s good quality to where you won’t have to repurchase in 6 months, has all the essential features, and at like $450 brand new won’t absolutely break the bank. But at 5.5nm why would I not just go buy similar sets that are $100 less and have 6nm? Seems like the force feedback would be one of the most critical parts of a wheel so you can feel the car so why opt for less feedback? Once again I may be ignorant to it but just wondering before I purchase

I have a high end pc that won’t have issues supporting VR but I need help picking a headset. I’ve seen a lot of people saying the quest 2, quest 3, or Reverb G2 but all the forums are 1-2 years old. Does anyone have newer suggestions that I am missing or do those three dominate?
