I race IMSA GT3 and hover around the low to mid 2k splits, but I’ve noticed a lot of times, the GTP drivers are always the lowest rated drivers in the lobby.

All of the 2k+ iratings are in GT3, while GTP is 1.3-1.6k with most of the incidents. You’d think it would be the other way around with GTP’s being much faster and difficult to drive.

This results in lower rated drivers ruining others races with unsafe/unnecessary passes through traffic, or even entitlement because they don’t realize the GT3’s just have to hold their line, but not move and let them through.

I fortunately haven’t had any direct race ending collisions with GTP’s but have seen it happen to others in my races, and realize the danger some of these drivers pose.

Do you think there should be pre-requisites for driving prototypes in IMSA? If so, what should they be?

I currently use the logitech rs50 wheel, which has two rotary knobs. I have one of knob set to cycle between my different blackboxes, and lately idk if a new issue has come up, or I'm just now noticing it, but the knobs aren't fully responsive at all times.

When racing and wanting to use the knob, it's like it's asleep and I have to give it a random number of clicks before it wakes up, and finally changes my blackbox inconsistently; with some clicks registering, and some not.

However, when using the knobs to navigate wheel base settings, the knobs work and respond perfectly fine, so it could possibly be an iracing issue? Any other rs50 users have this issue, and know if there is a solution for this?

Thanks!

Hey guys, one thing I’ve never learned how to do is getting a good launch out of my pitstops. I get to my booth, they refuel, the guy lifts the sign, and then I get onto the throttle for what feels like the slowest acceleration period ever.

Just now in my imsa race, i tried those burnout pit exits I always see. I went into the pits while everyone was fighting to save time. I switched to neutral and the fuel blackbox once I get to my stall. Once I saw the fueling was almost done, I hold down the throttle, and then switched to 1st once the sign was lifted.

Ended up getting a penalty for speeding in the pitlane after my burnout launch, despite having my limiter on. Ruined my own race lol. How do you guys get those perfect pitstop launches that seem to save just a tiny fraction of time, without getting a penalty?
