I have run the Nürburgring Endurance Championship a couple times now and have not seen anyone running any other class than GT3, is that how it normally is or do people in higher splits drive different classes?
Hi everyone!
I started simracing when I was 15.At that time,I used to play with Gtr and netKar.Then there was a big announcement,the upcoming release of iRacing.I subscribed immediately,played a couple of years.Then I found a job(I was 21yo),a girlfriend(now wife)and quit.
Last year,the passion came back and here I am again!
It’s surreal to think that a lot of years passed quickly,but the passion for simracing never fade away!
Hotfix Release:
This release is an unplanned Hotfix, required to fix a critical issue or problem with the 2026 Season 2 Release.
We apologize for the short notice before this downtime occurred.
Simulator
—---------------------------------------------------------
Sessions
Fixed an issue where some users were unable to connect to multiple events in succession without restarting iRacing.
Hello I’ve recently just got my B class licence for Iracing I started around 2-3 weeks ago where before I had mainly played acc and my question is which gt3 car should I buy as a beginner? and I’d like a car that I can improve with
I have being watching many lap guides and i saw alot of people using brakes not that hard , i came from acc and driving style it’s way different than iracing and im running with crp2 is there any advice ? #brakes
Anyone realised since iRacing team expanded their dev blog is getting later and later? To be honest the last release on 26Feb isn’t even that impressive (delayed and they couldn’t ship the audio update). FYI :
2024 Dec blog release dates:
2025 Dev blog release dates:
2026 so far
And we are already behind on May 2026 release (if they don’t update by today).
What’s going on? Bigger planes moves slower?
Hey all I’m slightly new to endurance racing within IRacing just want some help with lap time it’s on the Gesamtstrecke VLN layout in the AMG GT3. I have seen lap times all over the place and I’m unsure what a realistic goal should be I’m a 2000 irating driver and my lap times are 8:01 iv been in practice lobbys where people set 7:45 what is a middle of the pack lap or does anyone have links to videos of on boards also potential race strategie like how often to pit and all that
Ps would appreciate a setup or two
Hey guys, thinking of picking up this game, I have a G923 and the RS h shifter. I love the shifter and wanna continue using it. I played iracing a bit a while ago and I couldn't use the H shifter with the Mazda it had me running in. I'm assuming that's cause that car doesn't have gearbox shifting.
Anyway, if I were to play this game I'd get into using sports cars for road racing as quickly as possible, and I'd wanna use my h Gate as that's a large part of what I find fun about sim racing. Are there options for me? Or is this a case where modern realism would make my shifter mostly unusable and therefore I'm better off elsewhere?
Had to share this one from tonight, sending it 4 wide was sketchy! I’m the yellow doodle car and somehow managed to hold on for P2 right at the limit.
Props to everyone in that battle, the pace was absolutely flawless start to finish!
SFL this week, practiced for a few sessions
Have to say, Imola is one of the most brutal tracks i've learnt.
Seem to get slow down penalties without off tracks through the final sectors, off tracks a plenty, no cut kerbs send you into orbit
lost 1.2 SR over 3 events. inc the jump down between whole numbers
Going to do some more practice to see where i'm going wrong, slower in, faster out
Time to wait for the next event
It might just be a me thing but starting P2 for me is usually a disaster. If I line up along side P1 I can’t see when they go and end up screwing over my whole file and if I drop back a little bit P1 tends to absolutely run away with by T1. Any suggestions ?
Okay it has hit that time of the cycle again! Where’s this dev diary I need it!
And also to spice things up any final calls before it drops of what you think what we will get or anything you wish we could see?
For me I think we are gonna get Naval Base Coronado, Dirt AI, and a few updates on audio and career mode
Wishful thinking: We get rain tires for the NASCAR series
Now that the Nürburgring 24H is done, it's time to go back to the NLS!
Included in this package you'll find all regulation decals for the 2026 NLS season, the regulations themselves (albeit in German), and some extras like number plates for sim-stamped numbers and additional sponsor decals.
All decals are available as SVG or PNG. As usual, this package is specifically formulated for use with iRacing and Photoshop, though it may be useable in other sims or software.
You can find this pack by going directly to our Google Drive or by visiting our website and clicking "decal packs" on the media page (which takes you to all of our decal packs).
Someday we'll get around to posting more than decal packs. For now though, happy painting!
Hi all,
I'm going to give the fwd TCR cars a go soon, but I've never driven a front wheel drive car before. Can people give me some hints as to how you are supposed to drive them?
I'm used to open wheel and GT3s/ prototypes, with & without aero etc. What are the big differences/ things I need to learn to do with a fwd car?
Particular Q's:
Do I need to learn to feather/ 'blip' the brake when I down shift? Conscious about threshold breaking with both most of the braking force and engine breaking going through the front axel - i guess front locking is less common with the engine forcing the wheels round but downshifting can make them break traction??
I assume trail braking is still a key skill? Does this need to be emphasized even more - or is overloading the front tyres a big concern?
How are you supposed to rotate the cars in the corners? Presumably entry is still ok, with the weight on the fronts and light at the back. But you can't use the accelerator to rotate the rear mid corner or on exit, especially combined with the weight transfer & fronts being unloaded on acceleration - what are you supposed to do?
Does a particular TCR drive more like a rwd that any other?
Thanks.
I primarily race LMU but I’m getting sick of racing the same few tracks every week so I’m thinking of switching to iRacing even tho I hate how expensive it will be. Mainly wanna race GT3 around tracks that I can’t get on LMU like Laguna Seca or the Nurburgring but idk how the FFB feels in the iRacing GT3s so I thought I’d get the BMW Z4 GT3 just to test the waters before I commit to spending hundreds. Is that a dumb idea? I have AMS2 but I’ve never liked how it felt and I’ve tried ACC and wasn’t impressed. Let me know what you think :)
Are there team based open wheel series in iracing? Im not quite fast on sports cars yet. So if formula has any team series i thought i’d join.
I have been disconnected for poor connection every race this week. This has never happened before. I got a new modem and it works great and run Ethernet directly into it. What can possibly cause this?

Hi I'm new with the Dallara IL-15 and I keep having this same accident where the moment I point the wheel a little bit right I lose control and crash. It's just that you can never point right with the wheel at superspeedways? Or maybe I can tune the arb, the steering ratio or any other thing to make the car less sensitive?
I had this accident 3 times now, I feel the car is supersensible under tow, in practice is way easier.
I also accept any general tip about formula ovals.
Thank you for your answers :)
Hey there, 2 post's ago i made a bad example as there was so much distance with the car ahead and myself, here we are a lot closer, i can see him setting up for wide which is the normal line which leaves a massive spot if i just go straight.
This cost's both of us a massive amount of time but i'm just wondering if this is ok, as you can see im taking the corner as tight as the track limits allow and would just like another set of input of higher ir players. Thanks.
Asking about "bad etiquette" as that was mentioned multiple times.
Hi guys this is my first week on iracing and I'm still figuring things out. I started with the MX-5 and I tried out gr86 2 days ago and absolutely loved it. I just finished a lower split race in p3 which I'm super happy with but I am a bit confused with car setups. I did a 01:35.359 in one lap on road atlanta but I'm seeing way faster cars that are doing sub 1:33s in higher split and I'm just wondering if that is related to the setup or I just suck.
