First tip Lucutus is read everything in this link
http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/instruction.jspMy main tip is drive the cars as if you own them,this is not like anything you have ever experienced before, i think you will have guessed that by now
Practice and practice more, learn all the lines so you can run side by side with other cars, that goes for ovals and road courses.
Are you more interested in road or oval?
If road get used to the Solstace,practice hard in the rookie solstace at this weeks track, click on series navigate to schedule and see what this weeks track is [tracks cnahge over at around midnight on Saturday night].
Go to the forums and look at the section on rookie cars for tips and info.
Tip number one for the solstace is its a momentum car, only brake when you have too, its down on power but handles well so be incredibly smooth with your braking and steering inputs.
You can work on your SR [safety rating] right away.
Do time trials, this way your clean laps are rewarded with +SR, once you hit 4.00 SR in rookie class you can get promoted to advanced rookie which will let you drive a more powerfull and more fun car the skip barber [see vid i linked earlier in the thread]
When you can run laps without mistakes and at a decent pace your ready to race.
Rookie races are every hour on the hour i think.
Just remember this is as real as we are ever likely to get without actually doing the real thing - i really cant stress that enough, you need to experience this sim to believe it.
It really only opens up once you move up to advanced rookie and get into the skip barber,then later the mazda and radical.
The legends and solstace are designed to learn the basics of racecraft, learn this before going fast.
Thes 2 cars are there as a stepping stone and trust me you will be glad of the slow process once you get into the fast cars.
Also dont be afraid to hit the open practice servers,if you hit someone the incident points that show up are not effective in open practice.
Open practice is a great way to learn how to race in close proximity to other guys.
If you want get your SR up do time trials and races [clean races]
To join an open practice session make sure you have selected the series you wish to run then slick sessions and then on lest hand side you will see practics sessions and number of people in each session.
Join these and practice away without fear of hurting other peoples SR.
Whats your name ill add you to friends?
Syco, the sim auto configures your wheel and graphics for you.
It really is simply to set up.
