So I started my subscription using the 3 month deal. I need to watch that recommended video. Right now I have a million questions so it would be unfair to ask them all at once probably.
One thing I must get used to is obviously ABS is off right now. So driving that ford rookie racer I'm locking up my brakes and spinning. So still adjusting to not having ABS aids. I'm used to driving w/o every other aid but having no ABS will be a tough swallow initially.
I am so impressed with the FFB. I just wish the graphics depicted that? I mean, I can feel every bump and crack nicely. But when I look at the track, Obayama, it looks smooth heh. But maybe I don't understand? This is probably what it looks like in real life no doubt.
So many questions. Like how do i start earning iRanking. Plus, I like the way the Indycar, Williams F1, and Riley MKXXX looks. But I can narrow it down and just pick one of these 3.
So my Question:
If I were to pick just one of these cars, like Indy car. How much money do I have to spend before I can drive that car in a race? Which tracks and other cars would be required? I see they have a ton of tracks each selling for $12 each which can get expensive?
I also really want to start doing the rookie races. I expect to come in dead last being a poor noob. Any other recommended reading? I don't want to keep spamming yall with 50 questions every day if there is some reading material I should be learning
Ok let´s break it down here
Yes ABS is off, better to learn without it, it´s faster and you actually develop driving skills instead of just slamming the brakes all the time. You will appreciate way more when you brake past someone etc later on.
I would personally just not use any driving aids at all, it just dumbs it down and you learn bad habits imo.
Most small elevations is hard for eyes to see but yea i think it´s mainly due to having to make the tracks work on all computers. Depends on your computer aswell, what specs do you have?
iRating you mean, you earn that in the race. Finish high in every race and your iRating will climb up, this will then decide which split you will end up in. It separates the wreckers from the racers.
Well Indycar is B class i think, so in the forums, check for the top category above General Chat, there you have schemes of what series runs what tracks. You don´t have to own all of them.
You just need to get your SR up to 4.00, you will then automatically be promoted to the class above. If you keep it above 3.00 and do 4 races but don´t race anymore, you will be promoted after the 12 weeks have passed (including the fun week Week 13 which ended in 15min here so i got promoted now)
Drive rookie races until you become a safe driver, getting consistent and learning the tracks the Rookie class has to offer. Then move into D class, you can go either open wheeler (Skippy) or tintop (Mustang).
In the "press room" where the news is and such there´s a tab called something (i think it´s resources, the site is down now due to promotions so i can´t tell for sure) Anyway, read the Sporting Code so you know the rules of the game, this is very important so grab a coffee and sit down and just read all of it.
Keep asking, Tomorrow i can answer some questions if you like.
