Your be there for ever doing it in practice your be better with TT's but even still that will take an age.

Start from the pits that should put you 20 seconds behind everyone. If you come up to anyone on the track unless you can pass them safe DONT pass sit behind them and learn from the mistakes they make infront of you, give your self about a 2nd gap so you can react if he losses it infront of you.

If your about to be lapped let them past as soon as your hit a safe zone.


I no its hard but if you do it right you can have a D class license within a few races and come race the innews-challange cup or grand touring cup with Us multiclass series. Or the high split mx5 the same 2 tracks becomes boring fast so the other two series may intrest you more and your allowed to use the mx5 there.

Arknor 100% agreed with Spils forget practive concentrate on races as they give you twice > 3 times the SR that TT and practices get you.
just start from pits or back of the grid,, stay like 5-10 secs back just cruise around in like 1.04 and avoid everything. as it is alll about how many corners you get through without ANY incidents , this applies for WARM UP as well.
If you do this and still find yourself getting rammed etc by noobish rookies,, then you will just have to grind TT's like i did before i realised that races give you more SR :eek:
 
If he still as problems after taking our advice or anyone else for that matter, then there clearly not ready to race in the serious stuff yet.

Don't be offended by that, I also thought after a week I was ready for the big cars packed grids, I so wasn't. The multi class racing is a different beast. If your having problems with 2-3 MX5 around you going at a snail pace, you're not ready imo, I'm glad i did a few extra weeks racing with the rookies.I've said before that learnt me a lot, its taught me how to avoid accidents, not to stick my car in a dangerous place and how to avoid incidents.

Speed is just one part of I-racing, this isn't like most other games you don't just jump from car to car and be fast work your way up learn the car get fast and clean with it then move up a tier, then get ready to learn some more.
Take your time lads in real racing you don't do rookie for a week and then progress to a super licence. There's no rush. Another thing this game offers a feature like no other GHOST RACING. if you really want to drive the radical or the f1 car etc now ghost the race. First time I did it I was so glad I was just a ghost :D


You can compete in a host of great series with a D class license the two multclass cups are a great introduction to proper I-racing. First you need to show your not going to be a danger, SO GET SR WHORING!!! and see you on the Grid.
 
well i did a race and got+1 cos ***** all over the place lol..
almost every lap some idiot is parked across the track or drivin g across infront of you and i make more mistakes tryi ng to go slow avoiding them than i do when im trying to go fast... i had a backmarker that kept trying to race me aswell and every time i tried to take him on the main straight he kept swerving towards me....

i just did a TT and managed 27 laps and got +08 but had 3 incidents in the first 5 lapx :(
i was fine once i got into a rhymm and doing 1:01.8 ish on average but its hard for me not to lose concentration when im not pushing

Arknor m8 most of the 1st half of a race at least the cars are usually within 20 secs of each other , if thats the case just stay back till like 40 secs back where you are nice and alone,, then if you loose SR its as you fell of the track and not due to some child rookie ramming you ^^
as for that back marker i would have just backed of like 15 secs and let him go on his way,,, just keep on saying to yourself the following :

I am here for Safety Rating (SR) and NOTHING ELSE
 
just got another 0.8 from a TT

the problem is you can stay as far back as you like in racing peope are falling off the track all over the place its like benny hill
ill give it another go now and drive the whole track in 4th gear if i have to rather than get within a mile of anyone
 
Well thats something else to improve on mate. I was doing it. Once i dropped the pace i drive off in a 4mph girly slide. Every practice session i did with race fuel for this weeks radical race. i was driving off at t2 at mossport. Forgetting to brake.


Its something your need to learn as a 45 minute race with race fuel onboard your not going to be running at race pace the whole way.

Just get to the higher splits or out of rookie all toghter so you can learn to race with a packed grid. I promise you Its a much cleaner enviroment. Accidents still happen, the odd grid also has the odd lap one Hero. But by then your have a race craft and a way to avoid stuff happening infront of you. Your get a nice rhythem and a pace your happy with then everything will just click.

You are missing one important factor m8, if you are approaching a car just back of , that way you will not be beside them or near them if / when they crash

Or you could be like me last night and be a fair distance behind them, for them to spin and then reverse into the direction that you are trying to avoid.

Utter madness.

Best bit of I-racing / yodda / racing tip etc etc.

This was either said in here or over on the I-racing forums. Brilliant bit of advice.


Also mate once your out of that rookie cup like me I'm sure your look back at every single one of those accidents and think well actually maybe I was at fault or if I had just lifted a bit that wouldn't of happened. If I had done this that, this could have been avoided.

We are not saying your at fault for any of these accidents I drove with you the other evening your clearly not a mental case or are you a rammer, but like me I bet the rest of the guys will all agree if we could go back and do rookie again. 99 out of 100 crashes we had we'd avoid now.

We are just trying to stop you making the same mistakes we did and avoid the frustration.
 
just did a race +17 i had 2 incidents though had to go off the road to avoid a car twice

even driving slowly behind them in these rookie races they are so unprediactable lol..

they go off the track pretty wide you think its safe and then they are nailing it full throttle back onto the track and spin in the road :@

anyway im upto 2.96 now but my back needs a break

OK in the above race I started 5th and not from the pit lane, but I lost places at the start and kept out of everyone's way. Most of the cars in front fell off the road on their own rather than me overtaking them. Keeping out of trouble and staying on the track is the best way to improve SR and get out of Rookie.

Every time I am involved in an incident with another car I save the replay to study later. You can then usually what you could have done different to avoid the incident, even if you were not at fault, there is usually always a way to avoid them.

Josh that was a good race you had there , you came 1st by near 30 secs.. lolz ^^
 
Cheers :)

Got a shocking start though, was thinking before the start that knowing I'm a bit quicker than Chris I should get a good start, do a couple of good laps and then cruise to a victory, but then got the **** start, behind Chris until he threw it off the road and then cruising to victory :p

1 inc though, too wide on the exit of 2 when I didn't screw up the entry and wasn't anywhere near pushing, must keep concentrating :p
 
Tell me this is there a way to see run fast laps and see what time you are doing PER LAP while racing,, but at the same time in a mode that does not effect your SR , eg ghost mode,, but i am unable to get lap times for myself ( or am i looking in the wrong place ) :p
 
not sure tbh, only thing I'd think would have that would be the laps tab during/after ghost racing in spectator mode, but not used it and from your post I'm guessing it's not there...

Only other option is either offline or online practice and just sitting down and doing a race run...
