IDK man, it's hard to tell. At first I thought it was intentional, especially with him slowing down. But then you showed the cockpit view, and I'm on the fence. Totally plausible that he did that by shifting up inappropriately. Your guess is as good as mine lol.
At the time I was convinced it was intentional as well - as most of the lobby. But when recording the video and trying to see how his onboard caught the wreck, made me second guess. Being a low iR split it can be both lol.
From the outside, it looked calculated, but the cockpit view left no doubt that it was oblivious innocence. I've seen it dozens of times, even with experienced drivers, trying to get back up to race pace too quickly. Especially after a heavy spin and hot tyres.
You see how he hung the rpm for a second, backed it down, then clutched kicked the rpm to the next gear hard to twist the car up the track? That’s someone who knows how to clutch kick the tires loose. He may not have known exactly who he was hitting but that dude right there did that intentionally in my opinion. Hands down.
ive seen people intentionally spin the tires so they spin into the field but then they try to play it off like an accident and most would think it was an accident but most people who even make it out of Rookie/D class know what it means to feather the throttle to avoid spinning again, so ill say intentional “accident”
What impresses me the most in these videos it's not the fancy overtakes, but the drivers that know how to handle a crash instead of coming back to the track and wreck the entire field.
Man I miss iRacing sometimes, especially driving those older cars. Those things were a blast. When they first came out we'd try to flip them (unranked races of course). Easily my favorite cars to drive in the sim.
PC specs are more than fine! I recommend to look into Moza and Fanatec for the sim setup. Both have good options in different price ranges. I personally have the Fanatec CSL DD + the V3 Pedals, and they’re great really. Don’t have any experience with Moza, but they came out with a lot of cool stuff.
Im gonna try iracing this week bc just finished my triple screen 80/20 rig setup and really wanted to race oval.. until i saw this LOL. Im used to f1 and ACC only, not too sure what to start with considering ya gotta buy all the shyte separately.
For the rookie license you don’t need to buy anything besides the membership. I did the Street Stocks in rookies. After that I would recommend the ARCA series or the Late Model Stock, to get through the D license. With the ARCA car you also have the Gen 4 car, which you can use in the C license (and is a blast to drive). From C and upwards you can do NASCAR if that’s what you’re after. Have fun!
It would definitely bring more chaos for the content, but not sure how much the service will benefit of a huge influx of people driving on controller..
i was in the process of getting iracing until i seen this vid.....i scared...lol great sim tho....i had an account in 2016 but i really couldnt race but lots of hrs latter ill give it another try
Theoretically you can start with 1 month and the 40% new member discount, which is $7.80. Best to get as long as possible to maximize value though. Keep in mind that after the rookie licenses, you probably need to buy additional content to proceed. This can add up very quickly, depending what you want to race.
You definitely should! I started iRacing with my focus on road, but currently doing about 50/50. Oval racing is a lot of fun and highly recommend trying it out!
That Kodak Number 5 retaliated and intentionally wrecked him, does nobody notice how obvious that is? Those people need instant permabans, I hate scum like that! You never cause a wreck on purpose! That’s insane! It should be treated as a real live event, ban him and impose s monetary fine!
At the end if the day IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME..lol😂...jeez..the mentality of some of these "adults"😂😂....umm...it's supposed to be fun guys,it's not real,...relax...if you crash just go get a beer,push reset,have at it again.
I actually got demoted back to rookie from c class and suspended for a week a couple years ago. I made someone crash because I got on the brakes a little too early and he reported me. Him hitting me broke me car too, not like I meant for that to happen just wasn’t confident on the amount of tire I had left and hot-lapping wasn’t on my mind with 23min left in the race. This is funny and all I just hate that the community can react so harshly (under b-class lol)
I’ve never heard of getting demoted with a ban?! Didn’t know they did that. I thought iRacing didn’t mess with SR/iR etc after a report in general. If that’s actually all a result for what you described, you should’ve appealed it. Reports usually won’t result in anything if it isn’t 100% obvious it was done with malicious intent. So, if braking slightly earlier was all that happened, it should’ve been quite easy to make your defense.
I was an avid iracer for 15+ years…joined in the spring of 2008…there has been a steady decline in “race craft”…to many kids and idiots have joined…noticed a huge difference once it hit steam.Finally decided to cancel my membership after all these years because of the foolishness.
I actually canceled my iRacing subscription due to how bad the drivers were. More people that want to btch and complain on voice chat while being terrible drivers and ruining races. As I have always said about iRacing and bad drivers ruining your race "It only takes one to ruin the race and there's ALWAYS at least one"
That’s not completely true though. It might seem in the videos like this, but most the racing is actually pretty clean. Most wrecks are an accident, usually attributed to lack of skill, more than malicious intent. It’s really a lot better than most other racing games in open lobbies.

(33:36) Was it malicious intent, or actually an accident?

Im dead at the intro, the silent slo mo car rolling w the cod lobby mic in the background. Art

With all the wild characters you come across on iRacing, you never really know what’s going to impress you next time 😂
I’ve had an iRacing subscription since 2022 and I feel like wreck avoidances are the key to raising your iRating in order to get into top splits.
the #6 caused quite a bit of chaos
So the JD Stacy car was sketchy.... Shocking
Number 6 was determined to wreck as many other drivers as possible XD
15 in the first race is the best type of guy on iracing
Easily my favourite iRacing related YT. Please keep the content coming!
The amount of work that went into these series is amazing. Great work on these videos man, kudo’s and highly appreciated. Enjoy them a lot
Awesome to hear and thank you for noticing!
"wreck in turn 3, Wreck in turn 3. During a caution" LOLOLOLOL
#8 really did his best lighting McQueen impression @ 10:17 10/10
Top tier comment🤣‼️

how do you only have 2k subs? These videos are so well done!
Because at the end of the day its JUST A VIDEO GAME...😂
i love that 7 won after 12 kept bming him for something he didn't do lol
iraging always make my day if he posted a video
❤️❤️❤️ I try my best to post more often then!
8:18 love the guys atc coms
5 got loose but "I had nowhere to go" lmao
yeah he was so full of shit lol
Good to see another upload! Another banger, thanks!
Awesome to see you here mate! You might like the next one as well.. Atlanta was chaos 😉
These guys are great. Perfect example of what not to do lol
Dude I think 3/4 of the field was involved in some incident before lap 10 man.
Ouch!
Welcome to iRacing, the ultimate survival simulator 😎
#5 definitely took #7 out on purpose over that love tap, you can see him intentionally pit him
It was mostly a lack of skill - an overreaction to brace for impact.
Ah I see, still funny he blamed the guy he took out lol
That number 12 in the second race needs anger management lol
That 8 had the wildest ride I’ve ever seen in this sim.
Lol #6 the race is ending don't hit me lmao 😂
this is why I only watch the good bits of online gaming. who needs real dummies when your got npcs
LOL This was hilarious!
Wrangler and Kodak were such dirty drivers.
I love watching these. Honestly life fucking sucks and these kind of videos cheer me up a bit.
I’m sorry to hear man. I know life can be difficult. Try to stay positive and not let it get the best of you 🙏
Awesome video! Great editing
Majority of people don’t watch this for the racing. They watch this for the spectacular crashes.
You should've known with a sponsor like Stacey's Mom dude was gonna be a menace
This was edited so well
That Was... Unbelievable
Im only four mins into this video and I truly believe I have what it takes to be an iRacer
See you on track soon then 😎
A simple search was overwhelming. Whats the best intermediate racing setup? Wheel, pedals, shifter?@@iRagingOfficial
On a PC, 5800X3D w/ 6900XT. Thanks.
PC specs are more than fine! I recommend to look into Moza and Fanatec for the sim setup. Both have good options in different price ranges. I personally have the Fanatec CSL DD + the V3 Pedals, and they’re great really. Don’t have any experience with Moza, but they came out with a lot of cool stuff.
Do you have/prefer the 5nm or 8nm?@@iRagingOfficial
I'm a basic 1.5k driver, i see a video by iRaging i instantly 👍
With that iRating there’s a chance to appear in a video lol
7:06 something about the way this hand is animating like something out of DOOM is cracking me up. the compression on the video even makes it look 2D
Im gonna try iracing this week bc just finished my triple screen 80/20 rig setup and really wanted to race oval.. until i saw this LOL. Im used to f1 and ACC only, not too sure what to start with considering ya gotta buy all the shyte separately.

6 was a horribly dirty driver
to specify 6 in first race
Nice burnout 7
Jeff Gordon lied. "Wonderboy" smacked into the wall and came down into number 8. He blames number 8 in the vid!
I want to see everyone's Safety Rating after the race. Goodness.
5 had space he cut into 7 though. It’s on 5
F to pay respects to lightning mcqueen #8
iRacing should optimized for consoles in general for the future.
Would love to play this on Xbox One
It would definitely bring more chaos for the content, but not sure how much the service will benefit of a huge influx of people driving on controller..
Yeah can we get 6's name so we can just put that asshole in the wall whenever we see him and save the entire lobby the trouble?
lol I won’t dox anyone but yeah 😂
Is that whining sound the transmission?
15 sound likes forest gump
i was in the process of getting iracing until i seen this vid.....i scared...lol great sim tho....i had an account in 2016 but i really couldnt race but lots of hrs latter ill give it another try
Don’t be scared off by the videos. iRacing is a lot of fun, and there’s great racing to be had in general.
yeah i was just joking about being scared i truly love this sim and love your vid.....came across your vid and made me miss it@@iRagingOfficial
@@richgaming497 aaah lol my bad! See you on track soon then hopefully 😎
How much does it cost to get started in iRacing? What kind of simulator are most users using?
Theoretically you can start with 1 month and the 40% new member discount, which is $7.80. Best to get as long as possible to maximize value though. Keep in mind that after the rookie licenses, you probably need to buy additional content to proceed. This can add up very quickly, depending what you want to race.
@iRagingOfficial what kind of wheel/pedals/shifter setup do you use?
CSL DD with the V3 pedals
just getting into iracing, debating trying to do oval or not, this makes me concerned lol. maybe ill stick to working towards gt road cars
You definitely should! I started iRacing with my focus on road, but currently doing about 50/50. Oval racing is a lot of fun and highly recommend trying it out!
Rule number 1 never say good luck
Rule 2 never say go easy on me im new
6 bump drafting out of turn 4 lol.
When are you gonna go live again
Tonight, in about 1.5 hour!
That Kodak Number 5 retaliated and intentionally wrecked him, does nobody notice how obvious that is?
Those people need instant permabans, I hate scum like that!
You never cause a wreck on purpose! That’s insane!
It should be treated as a real live event, ban him and impose s monetary fine!
What moment are you referring to? With the #7 car?
At the end if the day IT'S JUST A VIDEO GAME..lol😂...jeez..the mentality of some of these "adults"😂😂....umm...it's supposed to be fun guys,it's not real,...relax...if you crash just go get a beer,push reset,have at it again.

This is definitely made up, you cant go back to rookies.
I was an avid iracer for 15+ years…joined in the spring of 2008…there has been a steady decline in “race craft”…to many kids and idiots have joined…noticed a huge difference once it hit steam.Finally decided to cancel my membership after all these years because of the foolishness.
Noticed that the “decline in race craft” is a hot topic these days. While it can be chaos, there’s lots of good racing as well.
Typical American NASCAR .
I actually canceled my iRacing subscription due to how bad the drivers were. More people that want to btch and complain on voice chat while being terrible drivers and ruining races. As I have always said about iRacing and bad drivers ruining your race "It only takes one to ruin the race and there's ALWAYS at least one"
Its messed up that people pay money and still rather wreck then race. Talk about a waist of money and time.
That’s not completely true though. It might seem in the videos like this, but most the racing is actually pretty clean. Most wrecks are an accident, usually attributed to lack of skill, more than malicious intent. It’s really a lot better than most other racing games in open lobbies.
In every video there are grown man nagging about racing game... As boring as real NASCAR ir whatever...
The lack of car control and common sense at the same time is mind boggling... Also the #6 in that first race is the worst. Just the drizzling shits.
