3 simple rules
1. Don't crash
2. Finish the race.
3. Don't say the N-word on your twitch live stream.
JoshTheBassist funniest comment I’ve seen in a while. Well done sir
@@fbcaware8805 probably that these rules are just common sense? (or at least, should be?)
Ppl cry too much
@@fbcaware8805 You've clearly got a few screws loose, bud.
Lol well said 👍
Dave on the iRacing channel! Today is a good day...
was thinking the same!
Personally, whilst I understand some people recommend starting from the Pits when trying to get out of Rookies, I warn against doing so. You don’t learn how to race or how to avoid wrecks, by avoiding the racing entirely and if you do this, what happens when you reach the higher Licences? Yep, you find that you are the guy that hasn’t gained any of the racing experience that those around you gained when they were Gridding for races in Rookies.
This needs to be top comment
except when you inevitably catch the guys that have fallen off the pack and get to work on your racecraft without some moron behind you pushing for gaps that don't exist.
@ChambersofSiege You do, you learn to avoid them. You don't gain any experience in racing by not racing.
Each to their own of course. Whatever you do, you’re going to get hit from time to time if you go racing, real or simulated and I’ll bet the ranch that everyone who complains about getting hit, has done their share of the hitting too, on occasion.
I say do it in your first couple of races, but don't make a habit out of it.
Anyone else remember watching “surviving rookies”? That got me out of rookies
Yeah same here :)
hahaha I remember that. The intro to that video is hilarious with the opera music and people screaming at each other.
All of this time I thought I was on Dave’s channel but then I say iRacing and I said “that has to be from the last vid” but it was not. Congratulations Dave to be on the iRacing channel.
haha it was spinning me out too
I was out of rooks after maybe a day. Just started this season. Shout out to ACC public lobbies for the extensive training.
Nice video! My safety rating before I watch this video was 2.79. I was fighting for the 3rd place every race and usually I used to get +.03 every race. After two races starting in the pits I got my D license and 2.43 safety rating.
If you are a beginner like me, do what Dave does and you’ll get your D license in less than a day.
Thank you Dave!
I think the best way to do it is to do time trials. You don't need to worry about people crashing you out. As long as you don't go off the track (which you should be able to do if you want to race against other people anyway) you'll gain safety rating quickly. I got to A class in less than a month doing this.
Dave's guidance has been great help in my experience. Another awesome one Dave! good work!
Excellent video Dave. I am looking to start my iRacing journey and this video illustrated perfectly how a measured approach is best. Well played sir!
It was this exact instruction video that made me discover Dave's own channel and an immediate subscription there. All gold material.
And this very video got me into iRacing after nearly 10 years of hibernation. Couldn't reactivate my old account (only used for a few practice, so not really startet), so startet all over. And just following this video got me from Rookie over D to C in almost no time. OK, admit I've been a simmer for 35 years (definately born decades too soon).
iRacing have improved a lot since the first beta proving grounds in the beginning.
Dave on official iRacing Channel!
Yo Dave! Awesome to see you on iRacings channel, you're a fantastic ambassador for them. New subscribers should check out your channel and strive to be as respectful, safe, and calm as you are on track.
Good race David, this should help a lot of new drivers
OMG... I Just realized that you have Dave on your chanel!!! Best decision ever... Well done Dave, I'm very proud of you (and iracing of course)!!! Happy days!!!
Thanks again Dave !!
Just realised its the iracing channel!
Couldnt have thought of tuber better to do this. Good job iracing team !
I love Dave hes the calmest and most professional iracer I've seen
I’m new to iRacing but I’m very excited and I’ve been learning a lot. Keep up the great content!
Clear, simple, good information. Superb video as always Dave
I can't believe iRacing published an official video where we are explained that racing is so dirty that we need to start at the back of the grid to avoid the mayhem.
This is basically how to use the simulator to not simulate a race.
You learn by doing things, not avoiding them.
The rest of the video is pretty good anyway.
Agreed, qualifying at the back does nothing for you. I learned a lot about racing around others in Mazdas. It also has less of a tendency of ending your race when something goes wrong as compared to skippys or IMSA.
I started my iRacing account yesterday. I did about an hour of practice on Okayama (i think that's the name), qualified on pole for my first race, freaked out about being in first, cold tires going into the second corner, spun and got hit by two cars (my bad, what an idiot...). My second race I didn't qualify, started at the back, battled my way through the pack and got third I think. I learnt a lot in both races but I think for the enjoyment of everyone it was better for me to start at the back for at least the first few races. Just my two cents.
"It's an idiot test, not a skill test." The next video I watched had this great piece of advice....
Fab video and great advice thank you. Transformed the way I approach a race and almost up to my next class in just 4 races.
Sending to my friends who are in the process of signing up for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
thank you, ive been working for irating and didnt know the some of these.
Hi Dave great vid I subscribed to your channel last year and used your link to sign up to iracing so your vids gave me the inspiration and its a love hate with iracing still learning now on B licence so keep up the good work mate one thing I have learnt is when I signed up I did it for one year what I should have done is sign up on the 2 year deal because the first year is all about establishing your self and getting the cars and tracks and driving them safe and competitive.
I am not fast so my goal is to drive constantly and I get mid pack finish sometimes top 5 and when I check the results the guys finished behind me where faster than but they spent more time off track because they where not consistent.
Any way Dave keep up the good work thumbs up from me
Dave always bringing the good content to iRacing viewers / players
Good video once again !
How cool Dave! Congrats on getting iRacing to showcase your content!
Thanks Dave that will be a big help, could of done with watching it yesterday before my first race!
Also interesting to see your gears through corners, been using auto gears and it tends to favour 3rd gear over 2nd which is why I must be losing so much time.
Keep up the good work Dave 👍
2 months later how you doing? After practicing in the mazda for awhile everything went out the door during my first race. Including my sound.
I loved this. Takes a lot of pressure off. Now I'm excited to jump into the game.
Cheers for this. I got IRacing last night after some humming and harring. First off the FFB is not like all the negatives I have been hearing on YT, out the box with my CSL elite the cars feel great! I will try this IRFFB prog folks are on about, but so far so good.
This vid helped me get out of Rookie in one night round Oran Park, fastest lap so far 1:160, chest suitably puffed out. :)
Thanks, from a fellow Geordie.
Great video showing good race craft and patience...and he got on the podium that's how you do it well done. I'm never the fastest guy on the track but if you're smart and safe you can usually finish int he top half if you take care of your car and this proves that.
Thank you for this Video, I started on iRacing 3 days ago and after 4 races I have just been promoted to Class D :)
Hey Dave! Congrats on being on iRacing channel! :)
after trying to get up my rating in PC2 and constantly getting rammed by others, i was contemplating iRacing yday. awesome video, thanks!
ty for giving dave cameron a platform he's amazing
great video. put simply, stay on track and avoid everyone like they're blind. iRating doesn't matter so it's not about finishing first, but finishing the safest. its easy to get mad at other people for crashing into you but at the end of the day, a smart driver will be the one who is able to avoid those people and take responsibility for the crashes they find themselves in lol
This is certainly a great lesson in patience and setting up your moves/not rushing yourself into mistakes! Nice drive. 👍
Great video Dave. Nice to see you on iracing official channel.
Aye big Dave! Good to see iracing promoting you
Also practice to learn the car amd track ...and learn how to shift the gears.
Good tutorial Dave!!!
oooh Dave, you make it look so easy.... Might start doing pit starts again to get out of c license
I just tried a little bit of this Dave and even though it’s a simple concept God it’s hard to do when you have those cars in front of you going a little bit slower you’re so tempted to dive in there but thanks for the advice it does work starting 16th and I ended 8th
Dave, I enjoy watching your videos. Very well done. I have a question. What do the different settings go tc1, tc2, and engine map do?
After 8 years of having an iRacing account but never played it, i finally play it 2 days ago and safely for out of rookies after 8 races...
Thanks for the great vid! Just wondering how you downshift into the corners without using the clutch?
Thanks video was very helpful.
Thanks Dave. That was really helpful.
Great driving and advice
LOL surprised to find Dave on here. I picked up iRacing a few weeks ago, the toughest part is getting the time on the track. But from what I've seen everyone is quite quick, even in rookie class. I've only done practice sessions. Maybe I'll try a race this week.
Very good tips...thank you.
Everyone is making videos about getting out of rookies, but that's easy. getting out of D Class was the hardest for me and my friends.
Still rookie class because some never really raced and jump with barely training in a way faster car
Why? Just keep the same principle in mind. I'm almost getting an instant promotion to B, and I started iRacing 1.5 weeks ago. What might be tricky is getting your MPR if there's no track/car combination you own in that week,
Yeaaa. I got out of Rookie in a few races but now I'm not having a good time in Class D. I've ran several clean races, and I still lose points.
Gotta love Dave. Thanks!!
My guide:
1. Do not qualify. This will put you at the back, but it’ll help you avoid crashes. Don’t be mad about your finish, it’s about safety.
2. At the start of the race, try to fall back carefully, but not too much. It will give you more time to slow down without people rear ending you and affecting your SR.
3. When you see smoke and/or cars wrecking, give a tap on the brakes and go slowly through without hitting anyone. Once through without damage, continue on.
(Works on all types of tracks)
same!
Became a membre yesterday, watched this video, made my races and im D License with 3 Races and 100 % top 5 finishes xD thx for the video.
I agree on the part wait till the field spreads out, but what i miss is you have to train first i started last week in laguna seca ran multiple hours to set up my steering wheel, learning the track and car. Ended the first race on p1 second on p3 just by being faster because i spent more time. Yes ofcourse i had some bad races both my and mostly other faults, but if you race the way like dave showed you dont know how to follow other cars and how to safely overtake
Thanks Dave. Well done tutorial!
My daughter just got her D license in three races. She practiced the track a few times ahead - over an hour. She qualified mid-pack, let lots of people by before turn 1, only had 1 incident point total for all three races. No on track passes, plenty of passing cars that spun or went to the pits. Laguna Seca was the track. The long front straight gives you some time to get to the back, or make a gap and avoid close racing in turn 1. iRacing has the schedule posted on their website so you can practice the week before if you like.
Good advice Dave thank you👍
Dave, love your videos. Maybe you can answer this question: If you’re in a wreck andyou can make it back to the pits, but the spotter says to wait for a tow truck. Which is faster, waiting for the tow truck to tow you back, or driving yourself back? Even after I get back to the pits, the tow truck still comes out.
Great video! Thank you and subbed. 👍
Great video to learning to start. I only have an old racing wheel, no pedals or stick etc... will it be ok?
Don't you just love it when Back-Markers try to block you out? It's the epitome of bad sportsmanship. It's not like they ever had a hope of winning to begin with. All they're trying to do is make everyone that's doing well as miserable as they are. You know what they say. The second you get successful enough to pick your head up and see over the fence, people will inevitably start throwing rocks at your head just to spite your success.
I just made it yesterday out of the rookies. I practis ohne houre on my own and than i do quali and race three times. I was lucky because in my lobbys there were no "Crash people " . Some got offtrack and with some i have great battels.
Love your content , helps me allot.
Greetings from germany.
what setup do you have? im looking to get into iracing but dunno what wheel and pedals i should get
@@dubb9020
I have a fanatec csl elite ( because Playstation ) , the V3 brakes and a fanatec shifter. I am very pleased with the stuff for the price
FINALLY a Dave lap time I can match :D
Great video, as always!
First Race tonight. Lime Rock in the MX5. Qualified 6th. Got a wicked Start, putting me into 3rd, and avoiding the major wreck that occurred behind on turn 3. Had to concede on lap 15 and fell to 4th. Guy behind me was getting frustrated and decided to dive bomb me from behind on the Chicane (Turn 5?). Saw it coming and simply didnt turn where he was expecting me to. Watched him fly over the Sausage Curb and I continued on, unscathed. 4th Place! Felt so good!!!! 1 Incident for going off track.
Some good advice Dave.
Also
1. single practice 100 laps or more.
2. Learn how to trail break.
3. Look as far down track as possible preferably the next turn.
4. Race your own race.
5. Don't over drive the car.
Good video Dave thankyou
great video, thanks,
Great information for Rookies David 👍
Hi Dave,
Ive just started as a rookie in my MX-5. I use a clutch and a H-shifter. Could you explain the way you use your clutch? Sometimes when you change gear you don’t use the clutch, is this a bug or a racing thing?
Very useful to those rookies who has Dave's racing pace :)
Its not about finishing position, so your pace does not matter at all; all that matters is that you dont rack up offtracks or car contacts.
This games looks extremely fun can't wait to get into it
great video. Im new to iracing and I new it was to do with incident points but didn't know pace had noting to do with it. I didn't know you can start from the pits so that's great. I have ben getting better and stopped binning it as much but others are binning it around me and I am getting caught in the chaos. Really people how hard is it to make a left turn???
I’ve gotten out of rookies easy, working my way In D is the problem. Continuous wrecks unless I hang in the back. I have a lot to learn still.
I know this is an older video but I just started playing iRacing. How do you start a race in the pits and not the grid?
Just get gud, qualify first, and then leave everyone else behind EZ. Honestly though, not qualifying only has the benefit of not getting hit from behind on the first corner. The other side effect is that you see every single wreck that will occur during the race (better get good at wreck avoidance and predicting the unpredictable). Another issue is that you have to pass people that are slower than you and typically these people are not very good at going two wide. The best advice for qualifying is to just qualify the best you can. I learned that lesson the hard way and you don't have to.
Dave or someone anyone please
I need to know what your monitor is ? Is it 4k and what did it cost I am going to buy it.
Way to go Dave - the new face of iRacing Rookies!
Also, Luca was clearly using a controller lol
is there any point in qualifying in that case? does it help your safety rating if you do? otherwise if it only deducts points when i dip a wheel in the grass i see no point in doing it...
How come you're using the clutch to go up through the gears but then no clutch and rev matching when going down?
Honestly, I always seen people looking for guides how to leave rookies. I'm not sure if I just was lucky. I made literally 4 races and was out of rookies. It was the simplest thing ever. In all races I finished 6th. In one of the races I had a crazy dive bomber so I finished with 4x and in another race I went off track once and so I only had 1x. The other 2 I was 0x. It's simple, don't crash. You have to be preventive of what the others are doing. I see two guys fighting in front of me. Most likely I won't be trying to overtake them both. Before overtaking I also analyze the other guy in front of me. Sometimes they are going all crazy trying to get out of your tail, but they just end up making a mistake. You just have to be patient. If you avoid all crashes you will most likely not have any problems with the rookies, even the crazy guys. If you see an overly aggressive, weaving driver, just let him have the position, why bother fighting? You don't gain anything yet for winning, so you might as well want to get out of rookies asap
I wonder if this will work for any tracks or any car
Thanks for the video Dave! just curious, how do you brake so little in corners that require a lot of braking? Personally on this track at the last corner, I brake at 100% and then I release brake pedal. On your video I can see that you press the brake pedal very little. How can I improve the braking technique? - Driving with a g29 wheel.
Sometimes less is more. If you are maxing out the braking then you're into the abs which isn't the most efficient way of braking. Ideally you want to be at maximum force just before the abs kicks in 👍
Just got out of rookie after 6 races. For me starting in top 5 or in the back is what worked. People disconnect after a while in the race so finishing in a good position isn't really the priority. Safety first xD
Great video, I sub to you. I am a VR user with a reverb G2 and a RTX 4090 i9 13900 k and I am new to sim racing. I am usually flying MSF 2020. But thinking about getting started with iracing. Just looks so intimidating. Want to get my moneys worth and not overpay so I will take any suggestions from you
Idk if dumb question. Do you not need to use the clutch to downshift?
i thought i was watching dave's channel for a moment
I thought I was watching his channel until I read this comment.
If you wait until 1 min. Or 30 seconds left to qualify, do you still get your 2 laps?
It's understandable, to be cautious but there's no need to constantly be passive, this is an aggressive arena,
Withstanding the rules and regulations and point systems.
I played my first time on an oval course as a rookie, yesterday. It was a bit difficult to prevent a crash. Many racers crashed into the wall or drifted and turned. So someone pushed me into the wall so I turned as well. I like Nascar and oval courses. But now I have a rookie of 2.68 now. I had a bad start.
Edit: My mistake was that I did a qualify and placed 7th of 20 drivers. The next try is to skip the qualifying.
I always think it is so funny when you guys wear you racing gloves. lol
Dave is the man, you can never go wrong with his advice.
Lol I love how when you do it you’re running similar times to me I start in the pits never catch anyone lol the only time I make a competitive race out of it is starting on grid and then I always get hit
Any chance of a video from the oval point of view? Although the mentality is broadly the same, I feel there may be some differences once you're on track
Dave's a good lad
Can you start and park and still get points toward your D license?
I am so glad I found this game, let's see if my 10 years old steer and pedal still work :)
Whats Dave doing on here :D
Great tutorial!
Awesome Video
