Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Is anyone playing iRacing here? I decided to give it a go after finding a "3 months for free" promotion at https://cadillaccupracing.com/ My initial thoughts are it feels great on the track but its a total bitch when one wheel touches the grass, it instantly fly's the car into the closest wall. Its also quite hard to regain control once it starts spinning. At the moment I can get to within 2 seconds of the lap records (there is an international leader-board) but I am still adjusting to the feeling, its feels different to that of rfactor or Race07 which I have been playing for the last few years, I am also still using standard setups so that might also be the difference.

Ive always wanted to get into iracing, looks good and gets good reviews - be good to get your feedback after some more track time to see if you'd stick with it? What hardware are you using - screen size, controls etc? (pictures?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see what you mean abuot touching the grass Jamez You have played with the logitech software that it comes with? You need to play with the settings to make it feel any good. Removed all my text doc's with my settings so couldn't tell you what i was running, Sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 After a few nights of playing I have to admit I find the MX5 cup quite fun. The racing is quite close, so close I keep hitting people who brake early. I am currently using the logitec Momo but this deal from Mightyape is hard to ignore - G27 for $329 Also setup my rig in the weekend with e30 recoro's, feels way better than a computer chair.

Driftit 2079 Report post Posted September 11, 2012 Yeah jump start drive through is nearly 1 min long plus what ever it did after that lol. Came out about 1 and 3/4's of a lap down. Make sure you have the clutch in when you put it in gear on the start line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
