Having seen the posts on here and driven myself in a couple fixed setup races in the IndyCar oval series this week I think everyone is in agreement that the racing is pretty bad. You can’t follow and then get stuck in a 6-8 tenth bubble just waiting for the car in front to make a mistake

I really enjoy the 4 lap average qualifying for the 500 and I am definitely not advocating for that to go away, but I think it would be better to just use the detached qualifying for split seeding only.

Beyond that, once you get into a session you should have to requalify for your spot on the grid. I only say this because getting into a split and starting 30th is going to be absolutely brutal, with nothing you can do to predict it and nothing to prevent it. The same goes for starting towards the front, these drivers just get lucky and then they now have a way easier time.

If you outqualified all the people behind you in the session in prequalifying then I see no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do it again in prerace qualifying

This is just a suggestion to make things a bit more fair in my mind, because at the moment there is a LOT of luck involved. I know the race is 500 miles and anything can happen, but I think this would be a positive step forward

I’ve collected the winning 1:18 diecast of every Indy 500 I’ve been to (haven’t missed one 2010-now) and this year I missed the preorder window from IMS I guess, it just slipped my mind.

I don’t even see the car on the IMS or IndyCar store pages, and the only preorders I can find are what seem to be random, maybe trustworthy sites (?) that look like they come straight from the early 2000s. There’s also none for sale on eBay, which is very odd for this time of year.

I saw a couple Reddit posts of people already receiving theirs which has me even more confused.

Am I SOL for now or is the car not even out yet and I have nothing to worry about?

TIA

I recently reinstalled windows 11 on my PC and thus reinstalled iRacing. When I launch the game on my triple screens, the left and center monitor taskbar stay on the screen in borderless windowed mode but the right side monitor taskbar disappears as I would expect.

I’ve tried restarting the explorer.exe program, and rerunning the graphics config. Running in full screen is not an option for me

Has anyone see this before and have a fix? Parts of the steering wheels in game are obstructed
