Great stuff as always Ben 👍 Appreciate the IndyCar shout-out. Best car on the service for me and really deserves more participation than it's been getting. Hopefully more people give it a go next season!
I’ve never been a GT3 guy having only done the odd race here and there but I can’t ignore the lineup for the VRS series. It’s practically a greatest hits of iRacing
Awesome video Ben, really great overview! I might try Indycar for the first time ever this season, looks super interesting! BUT, that GT3 track schedule is to die for!!!
I'm not really a fan of Indycar and Super Formula running shorter sprint races than the F4 and FFord but I accept that its a necessary evil to get more people racing the car, and SF has proved that the 15 minute sprint/30 minute feature format is the key to maintaining healthy participation. Even before the "event" we were lucky to get 3 or 4 SOF races a week in the Indycar open series and even less on oval weeks. I'm excited for the Indycar revival, its the best car on the service imo.
In those shorter races if you have just 1x you're very close to loose safety rating and if you have 4x you can forget your rating for that race. And often it is just a slight contact or you being involved in a crash without having made a mistake. I think they should really fix this. I just want to race long races.
Hopefully the IndyCar being run in B licence won't hurt the SF participation too much. I love the series, and it would be sad if it gets the same fate as the F1 series in licence A.
Hey man - I think we might have raced together a couple of times over the last year in SF and F3! I do fear that might happen to SF - the calendar is a bit underwhelming for next season IMO too which might not help. Hopefully not!
I think it'll be the F4 where I'm checking out the weather updates, though the 2 main focuses for the 1st half of the season will be the RKTCC and Sebring 12h
I tried to main gt3s this season but by the 3rd week I was so burnt out… coming from p cup where anything can happen this was so boring… but I think the rain will shake things up well! I know I’ll get crap for saying this because the field is already so stacked, but the American in me really really wants the new mustang and corvette!
Could you do a video comparing the caracteristics of the different formulas in iRacing? For example: how does the Indycar compare to the Super Formula in terms of driving? Is it less dependant on aero? Does it have more mechanical grip? Wheel spin on corner exit… etc. I would like to try bigger Formula series but I’m not sur which path to follow. Thanks
Unfortunately i wont be driving indycar as i just dont own many of those tracks.... Ill be sticking with gt3 be it ferarri cup or full gt3 grids or the formula 4
Great stuff as always Ben 👍

Formula 4, Formula 3, Super Formula, and LMP2(either by itself or IMSA) seem to be really making me a happy boy right now
I'm excited about the new Dallara 324 as I mostly did F4 Asia Circuits so looking at this as a way to step up.

Really good shouts here. I was thinking the same with the GR86.
Cheers Russell - might see you on a rain soaked grid!

Like the coverage of the upcoming season. Thanks!
My pleasure buddy - thanks for watching!!
Thanks for another shoutout for IRBG!
You’re very welcome buddy!
I am all over the IndyCar year long series
Nice! I’m not sure I’ll be able to commit to that, but the weekly races have my name written on them!

Totally agree. I am running this and the F1 world tour 😮😅 the split licence means i can also do GT3 properly and main a car for all 12 weeks
That sounds ace mate!!
Can't wait to start driving Indy's again this season!
100% buddy! Thanks for watching!

IR-18 is amazing.
gt3, and indy500 ! it soo cool that we got the official indy 500
Here's to hoping more people with the new season in the Indycar series 🙌🏽

I am so ready to watch and run IndyCar 😁
Really hoping this car takes back off
Me too mate - excited to finally properly run an iracing icon!

That’s a really cool idea - I’ll definitely look into doing something like this!
Catch the IIS Top Split on Saturdays at 2pm EST on RaceVerse!
Unfortunately i wont be driving indycar as i just dont own many of those tracks....
Ill be sticking with gt3 be it ferarri cup or full gt3 grids or the formula 4
so if i buy the ir 18 right now that car will be the indy car for season 2?
yes
Go for it. The IR-18 is awesome!
So pleased that Motorsport Scams is done stealing the IndyCar license.
The rain scares me.
Haha me too!!
No TCR + No NEC = Pain. 😢
I will stick to the GR 86
Well, I don't think you've ridden it much yet 😄
Ha I've barely had a time to race it - even had a league entry I was going to do which I've had to sack off! Likely be next season now 😢
