This was really great! I actually loaded up iRacing the other night for the first time and went through a lot of the stuff you showed in the first video. I found the shifting on the MX-5 a bit confusing so this helped a lot. I actually bought a subscription like 2 months ago but hadn't really hopped in to set it up because I wasn't really sure what to do first.
I think I already mentioned car control, and trailbraking as something I'd like to see more about. You mentioned learning a new track and overlays.
For heel-toe shifting I've done it in my car IRL for a couple years now. I also use it in games like Forza and a bit in GT Sport. I was able to get around track doing it with the MX-5 but not nearly as fast. I noticed when the rev matching really helped keep the car stable in turns. It prevents that clutch kick / engine braking that just throws the car into an oversteer.
I would like to see the gt cars after the rookie class. I am looking forward to the next episode
It's a pitty they go to GTE immediately instead of GT3/4 in the D license.
Thanks for this. These videos reinvigorated my iRacing.
I've completed my third race in Rookies. I haven't taken anyone out, and I haven't died. Seen some spectacular wrecks from others though. Currently at iRacing rating 3.40. Global Miata class. I'm pleased.
Thanks for this video series.
It has been a confidence builder and gave me a strategy for getting racing instead of endlessly hot lapping or practicing. I refer to it often.
Looking into leagues as next step.
You're a great ambassador for sim racing.
Cheers
fun fact anti-stall was always on sometime ago even if you didn't have any shifting assists that was updated quite recently that you can now run without anti-stall
I started out sim racing with Heel n Toe bc I was super adamant in learning it.
Then in turn I got confused when I started racing sequentials instead: Aaah nothing to do, what gear I'm in?! XD
Interested in Skippy after the rookie-class
As a complete beginner, would like to progress to GT3s, but also learn about car balance and driving technique stuff.
H shifter is great fun for simracing, since i got my SHH shifter i learned to do everything properly and sometimes i just run raceroom, assetto corsa just to go with old school H pattern car and drive around the track. If you have the setup i really recommend to learn and do it properly, much more fun.
Absolutely agree, H pattern shifter can be so much fun :)
I had a manual trans car for a long time when I first learned to drive. I miss it a lot and I'm thinking now I might get the H pattern just so I can enjoy driving again.
on H patters when u for example drive on 2nd gear you can put 3rd on gearbox and still push hard on 2nd, then u just hit clutch and it switch to 3rd gear and with downshit u just downshift on break withouth clutch! works like a charm in iracing
The word you're looking for at 8:00 is heel-toe. The term used to describe rev-matching (blip) during braking.
New to IRacing but not to racing. Subscribed and of course, thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the heads up :)
Sometimes I come back to this video just to enjoy the shallow bus stop chicane... I miss that one :D
I really appreciate you taking the time to do this beginner guide. Very helpful. I'm not a iRacing member yet, still waiting for the parts to build my PC, then my Next Level F-GT rig. Trying to get a handle on iRacing for now.
His getting paid for his time
@@mastodonseven what's your point? don't you get paid for your work?
The point.
You are bowing down thanking him as tho he done you a personal favour.
When in reality he makes money from making videos, while a beginner guide has wider appeal.
Basically you laid it on a bit thick to someone who didnt even give you the time of day to even respond to you, after you went out of your way to try and flatter them.
but anyway did you get your PC and try Iracing after all?
Separate from the iRacing I'd like to see more about your rig, recording/streaming and other stuff. What cameras are you using? They quality seems really good compared to a lot of others. Not sure what format would work best for you. Maybe a "Race Room Tour" or "Rig Tour". "Streaming Setup Guide"
I'm a tech fanatic and I'm weird so I find stuff like cable management techniques/solutions really fascinating. Haha
I went to watch the other race on twitch and saw your detailed list of Sim Gear, PC's and Streaming gear. That answered a lot of my questions but still wouldn't mind seeing a video on it haha. Do you have the shifter camera on a motion slider?
I also went back and watched your Simucube review. I found it very informative. I really like the high quality, high production value sim racing content you're making. It's the type of content I'd like to make
Cheers. Keep the videos coming!
I’d also like to know how best to do rolling starts when starting out.
Nice video Dan!
Funny to see you struggling with ‘heel and toe’ and the Hshifter, I thought you had experience with that tbh. Even then, you can see your experience in racing.
I’m new to sim racing and am learning a lot from your videos, practicing heel and toe from the beginning. Only need a Hshifter for the more fun and engaging experience. Bought AC+all DLC’s for a steal on Steam, I’ll wait with going into iRacing till I get better lol
I’d like to see you progress in the GT series!
Only got the H Pattern shifter on christmas. So yeah, this is pretty much very new to me - but having a lot of fun with that :D
another gr8 guide and out of the rookies already :) personally , would like to see you go up to A licence in the mazda. Good race keep it up.
love the content...im a beginner iracing racer and this is helping alot honestly. also i dont think the problem is you with the h pattern. i think its the TH8A Thrustmaster shifter. i have the same one and this happens as well. but its not the driver its the magnetic buttons inside the shifter itself. When there isnt a great connection then the shifter doesnt recognize the next gear and keeps u in nuetral til you fulling press the clutch in again. Hope it helps
Great. I just watched your vid No.1 and immediately subscribed, thank you for a calm, relaxed lesson. Hoping to become a proficient enough racer that I and others around me enjoy the experience (and boy that G29 wheel would help ;) )
Thanks for the great video and tips. I would like to see you race GT and prototypes!
I would prefer to see you travel to A class license through the GT class. I would like to see the cleanest/cheapest path to get there.
is it wrong to say id like to see both? aha nice video Dan.
I'd be interested in seeing you tackle the oval career at some point, see if you can progress as well with that ladder.
I've not had an issue H-shifting IRL, find it really easy and don't have to think about it but I cannot get on with it in the sim for some reason, no idea why... So I'd say don't feel too bad if you also just cannot get along with using a H-pattern on the sim.
Great video. GT class and skippy
Great vid and instruction there Dan Thank you I will be on iracing soon Now that some virus has me in lock down and unemployed
I watched your 2d video. I am not familiar with the blip. My only racing experience was in a sprint kart. To race will I need to blip or clutch? That's what I took from what you said. I don't know how to time the blip (only needed on downshift). Is it shift and then blip. I have the g29 and will use those paddles for shifting, I have left foot braked for years (learned from karting). I have MS which has impacted my right foot and it could not reliably go from gas to brake even in my street car so I switch to auto trans (my latest car is a 2019 BMW S3 (G20) which didn't even offer std trans). I think I can blip the throttle though. I would guess the blip should happen when the clutch is depressed, and with autoclutching is that exactly as the paddle shift is pulled? Can I legally race without using the clutch (if I blip)? I am a retired IBM semiconductor engineer who has always loved racing. I am hiding from the new covid virus and spending almost all my time at home (taking care ofrmy wife who has parkinsons disease, but I have some time. I was introduced to iracing by the races run by the real world indy car drivers. I don't long to be competitive, but I think I can test their cars on their tracks and get a lot of pleasure from that. I am still working on my rig. Have discovered I can't use an old 32 inch tv that we had, but will for now will use a flat panel 20 inch monitor I have. There are still Too many decisions to make on a better monitor. I am signed up, but still have not circled limerock. So much to know to make this all work, that my first two attempts at testing were unsuccessful. I aprreciate your videos. Thanks a lot for the info.
Hey Paul - you don't need the clutch at all, I don't use it too. The Blip would be before you downshift, and the moment your gas pedal input (from the blip) reaches it maximum you shift with the paddle shifter on your wheel :)
Great stuff right from the bottom. Inspiring and nice structure!
bro great videos enjoying them very much i watched a while ago now im back to learn again very good and informative. thanks mate! hope all is well !
Interested in open wheelers after rookie class
Yeah this^^^^^^^^
Abosolute Iracing Rookie here: I'm going nuts just trying to practice with testing the Cadilac CTS. It just keeps cutting out on the track. I assume it's rev limiting, per the noise it makes, but don't see how it could be. I've tried be "gentle" on the throttle, still does it. It's absolutely driving me F'ing NUTS!!!!!
great production my dude! love the videos +sub!
great series enjoying very much, learning alot thank you!
Noob question. How come you didn't rev it all the way out?
Just started my iRcaing career and just got to C licence. Tried Kapps but doesn't seem to work and there isn't any good videos explaining how to get it set up etc!
Kutu has an installation guide for Kapps on his website and made a showcase on twitch as well. That should be also linked on his website.
GT class all the way
Hi Dan. Be good to hear your recommendation for starting in the GT class with a B or C license.
Great videos Dan, sure has helped. Could you direct m3 to kapps please? Thanks
I would like to see gt cars
I'm sad, I don't think you can use a H-pattern shifter in the MX-5 anymore. Was really looking forward to rowing myself through the rookie license but now I have to use the paddles
7:35 You dont really need to heel and toe in iRacing at all. If you have a H-Pattern you can just throw it into the gear below and blip the throttle. If the rev of the higher gear matches the rev with the lower, you will get a gear. It needs a little bit of practice to get it consistent.
Otherwise I use a clutch button on my steering wheel. ;)
Like, no car needs it? Didn't know that, TIL :D
@@DanSuzuki yep the only weird car is of course the mx5. That requires a clutch and shift but you could accomplish that by throwing it in gear and then use a clutch button.
@@DanSuzuki Go watch Jimmers doing any race - he is fantastic at heel and toe. Tombstone seems to be confusing heel and toe with clutchless changes. heel and toe is operating the clutch as normal with the left foot, using the ball/toe of the right foot to brake and then kicking the right heel over the the throttle to do the blip on downchanges. It's a dance! And incorrect, every car should be either no brake gear overlap or heel and toe, simply jamming the gear stick into a gear without a clutch breaks things. Also, ease the throttle on your upchanges, the rev limit bounce is annoying!
Hey Dan...My sim hardware decision:
Inexpensive- G29... possible, but unlikely.
Expensive- 2 choices: (1) SimXperience AccuForce Pro V2 @$1000. plus Fanatec CSL Elite LC pedals @$230., Desk mounting clamp, Tot= @ $1330. (2) Fanatec ClubSport V2.5, CSL Elite wheel, CSL Elite LC pedals, Desk mounting clamp Tot= @$1050. In 'Expensive' category, which would you choose, and why? Thanks for input... -Brian
Go with the accuforce or with the G29. I would skip the Fanatec Belt wheel to be honest - the direct drive is very much worth the 280$ :)
@@DanSuzuki Thanks, Dan... really appreciate your opinions on this... -Brian
Hello, I would love to have the wheel because I have been getting into racing over the last couple of months thanks to watching your streams but I'm on controller which makes it really hard. The wheel would hopefully let me get to the next level and also allow me to have alot more fun and keep enjoying racing as much as I have. Thank you.
I can't get Crewchief to hear me. But other driver can...
ty Dan for part 2
Hi dan The reason i need the wheel is because i dont need it and would like to give it to a friend
Its great to see what you are doing but what about heal and toe and what do you think the best way to drive with pedals operation when blipping?
The reason I would love this wheel is it due to the fact I do not have one and I’m using a Xbox one controller for Sim racing which is extremely hard so if you could I would love to have this wheel
The spotter said gas 'er up lol
If you're crashing why wouldn't you just put the car in Neutral so you don't stall?
whats the best or lets say fastest way to shift with paddles. whats the settings called
id love for the shift cam not to move the entire video, not sure whats up with that
Interested in GT Cars!
Gt route for sure.
Personally interested in GT3 class
I wanna do gt and open. What is the overall Cost for iracing
gt cars and how to get most out of it as cheap as possible ;)
What is that overlay in the upper left? I don't recall seeing that in part 1 or maybe I just missed it. I have been watching these after work and am usually a bit tired so I may have missed it.
That is a 3rd party UI addon called kapps! kapps.kutu.ru/
@@DanSuzuki Thanks. I'm really enjoying your beginner series. I have been an iRacing member for many years but have been away for a few years. I am just getting ready to return and am trying to relearn a lot of what I had forgotten.
Gt 3 cars how u get a c license .I have the requirements and can enter c license races but I don't see the license I'm only want to race gt3
I’m watching the shift downs. How are you not using clutch?? I don’t see how to blip while braking and using clutch. Seems hard lol. Is it because antistall is on?
Google „heel and toe“ :) but i think there is no car on iRacing that requires clutch on downshifts - blip is enough
wat for software is that in the upper left corner?
And is that the same as what i see in the pit? That “ Bars “ in the right middle when i see you pitting in your other video’s
Yeah, it's Kapps for both cases :) kapps.kutu.ru/
With the mx-5 is it better to lift off throttle when upshifting with auto-blip on? Seems to be a smoother shift but is it better?
To be honest I don’t really know, I don’t think it makes s difference though - the engine doesn’t get damage from that
Hey the wheel come with a clutch
24:19 RIP Cones
what gaming computer did you use
If you are using paddles in a shifter car are the gear changes slower?
Nope, there is no penalty
Heel g toe is easy for me and I’m 14 🙂
To me Blue flags are utterly frustrating at times. I've most commonly had one because some idiot crashed half the field in the first corner and you're behind due to repairs. Once you come out on the track again, "certain people" will scream at you for overtaking them (coz they're slower) when they see the blue flag on you and demand that you let them pass, coz according to them you're stupid and should read the rules. This is the most common blue-flags I've encountered. Utterly stupid.
When a driver is clearly faster coming up on me, whether I have a blue flag or not, I will yield the position. But, I'm not gonna yield to a slower driver just coz I'm a lap down and it shows a blue-flag. A faster driver I will of course yield to, and an equally matched driver I'll assess if I'm slowing him down before opening the door or not... but those are usually not the ones yelling at you over comms, incorrectly quoting the "rules".
This of course is just my Rookie and low D-class experience.
Just tell THEM to actually read the rules. Blue flags on iRacing are actually blue yellow flags and just advisory - no need to follow them :D
@@DanSuzuki Hehe, yeh I know.... But getting people to read the rules who make false claims is highly unlikely. They already quoting a rule-book they never read themselves anyways :D
So plz man
would this an ok setup for iracing ? ive never had a gaming pc or ever built one im not sure everything goes together or what i need ive just put a few things together
ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING ATX MOTHERBOARD
INTEL CORE I5-9400F 4.1GHZ TURBO SIX CORE COFFEE LAKE CPU PROCESSOR
XFX RADEON RX 580 GTS XXX 8GB GPU
CORSAIR VENGANCE RGB PRO 16GB
The mainboard is for amd, so pair it with something like an Ryzen 3600x - or get a mainboard for intel :)
@@DanSuzuki thanks for the reply mate so i would just need to change processor from Intel to Ryzen? do you think the graphics card is ideal too? or maybe a diffrent one? sorry im new to all this gaming pc stuff haha just dont want to get everything and it doesnt all fit or isnt any good
580 is still decent for 1080p gaming but there is also the new nvidia 1660 cards if your budget allows
@@dukenukem91 i have just looked at the 1660 and i think im going to go with that one thankyou
@Ashton Foster on pcpartpicker.com you can see if the parts you want are compatible with each other.
Like Dan said, you’ll need an AMD processor with that MB, I happen to have the same MB and paired it with a Ryzen 2600. If you’re going with a Ryzen 3600 make sure the bios is updated, because out of the box it doesn’t work with the Ryzen 3000 series. Some shops offer that service. GFX card depends a bit on the monitor you want/have. The 580 is bang for the buck for 1080p, also works good for my 1440p screen, but NVIDIA offers some good cards as well.
Edith; sorry for the wall of text. Also don’t forget you’ll need a storage device and Windows! SSD’s are getting cheaper by the day, may want to look into that. There’s some great tech youtubers out there that show you some starting builds if you need info.
What do you mean with "netcode happens"... you mean lag?
Yeah exactly :)
30:46 Walter Röhrl: "the slowest point has to be at the entrance of the corner"
If he said it, it´s true :)
So, i´m on a Thrustmaster T150, which has no clutch and no h-shifter... will that be a problem?
please say no, i just got the 3 month sub :)
great series btw... i guess i´ll binge em all :D
You’ll be totally fine ;)
Aww I gotta teach u how to heal and toe
What do I have to set when I have only a 2 pedal set? I would like to drive all cars with paddel shifters but want to use anti stall as well. Is that possible that I don‘t have manually to clutch or blip in the MX5 or Skippie? 😊
Try auto clutch or auto blip :)
@@DanSuzuki Thanks Dan 😊 Really love your guides 👍🏻
open wheelers!
GT cars please
How far can one reach, in terms of ranking, without spending money on other than subscription ?
You can go up to B license only driving the Mazda. Rookie Mazda till D4.0 and then advanced Mazda. There are also different free paths to B license though .... It mainly depends on the track selection each week
Dan Suzuki which game would u suggest other than this one ? Just got into sim racing and dont wanna spend hundreds of euros for a game that literaly rips u apart financially haha. Noticed automobilista 2 coming out soon. Gonna try that one
@@themathmagician4560 if you like GT3 I would definitely recommend ACC :)
@@DanSuzuki But heard that multiplayer in that game is straight out dead. Crowded multiplayer is pretty important to me. Is multiplayer alive in GT3 ? Tbh I have only played Forza horizon 4 in recent years xD
@@themathmagician4560 No, ACC has a very active MP scene :)
I'd rather see the progression to GT cars btw.
GT car route

Is it me or is his video lagging bad
The graphics looks terrible in Iracing. It looks like ps2 graphics
Come on, it's at least PS3 :P
