    Edit: By the way, since publishing this video, I've made it to the iRacing Indycar Pro Series so obviously this guide is OP now that I have a sim racing black belt
    I hope you all find this guide helpful! If you've been around the car awhile you may know must of what's here, but if you're brand new to the car I hope this will be very helpful for you. I'll answer as many questions that I can or pass them off to people who may know better than me. Below is some more information that could change in the future so I didn't want to include it in a video meant to be evergreen:
    The available series to drive the Indycar on iRacing right now includes the Indycar Series (Class B - Open Setups - Mix of oval and road/street courses), Indycar Series - Fixed (Class B - Fixed setup - Follows the open series but with sprint races.), Indycar Series - Oval - Fixed (Class B - Fixed setups - Ovals only), and the INDYCAR iRacing Series (Class C - Open Setups - follows real life Indycar schedule when possible). In May/June, there will also be an open and fixed setup iRacing Indy 500.

      Can you do ARCA next? I'm new to iRacing and would love to see more of these guides!

      Timing couldn't have been better Brendan, thanks - just about to send my Australian IndyCar league off to Texas after 3 rounds at road courses that have gone pretty well so while it seems we've got the basics on road down pat it seems, the oval info will come in clutch haha - especially since Adam Blocker found out about our series and decided to come have a run around 😅

    I’ve avoided indycar forever purely because I was too lazy to try to figure all this out. Thank you!

      Indy Car is amazing I was blown away by the cars responsiveness coming from Formula.

    This car is the only reason I have a 3k oval iRating. It's just about the only oval car I've used in the last 4 years, and I'm surprised on how much I didn't know. Thank you for this guide.

    Exceptional guide, Brendan. Thank you! For so long, much of the setup page has completely mystified me, not to mention the in-car controls such as the fuel maps and weight-jacker. I am no longer Indycar ignorant. Again, sincerely, thank you!

    Love to see this, there's a real lack of information out there for people who are trying to learn this car. This is going to be one I'll come back to again and again.

    Based on the story from a few streams ago, the mention of no ARB not changing anything is more funny than it should.

    Thank you for creating this guide. It is really thorough and helpful. The oval driving walkthrough is especially helpful for a full time road racer giving indycar oval racing a try.

    i've been wanting to race indycar more for so long (i think my last indycar race was in 2020), i'm sure this'll help be be more knowledgeable and confident for whenever i return. my biggest fear is fucking up because i don't know what i'm doing and i end up ruining someone else's race

    Mate this is absolutely incredible thanks for putting it together.
    Now just need to find a way to get the open series to split more during oval/less popular road weeks 😂

  • @notyou2935
    @notyou2935 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Very well done. On some tracks the reds lose grip very quickly and can become very tricky to drive if you have to run a full fuel stint on them. In some situations I've changed to a leaner fuel map while on reds, say 2-4, and that enabled me to conserve the tires a bit and have more consistent lap times and be faster over the course of a stint. The individual lap time fall off isn't that significant in some cases.

    Running fuel map 8 makes the engine hot because the fuel acts as a coolant in the combustion chamber. If you run it full lean you don't get the fuel cooling.

      This was the explanation I couldn’t remember, thank you.

    @u-wot-n8 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If I remember correctly (will test this later), if you turn off the anti-stall aid you can actually cut ignition and clutch manually and coast but you want to be in a low gear so the bump start is effective and it's still very risky. So, only in dire circumstances and know that it's very risky to do so.

    @speedtaperacer8108 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I once lost a race at Richmond by turning the ignition off to save fuel. I was the fastest car in the race but thought saving fuel would be smart. Of course this was in the dw12 years ago but it still applies.

    With the USF2000 and the PM-12 not being very popular, what do you recommend running from rookies on up?
    I’ve got an A oval but am starting in rookies again with the Formula license.

    • @TeamI5G
      @TeamI5G  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I feel any formula car will do, the Indy ladder cars are more ideal just because you’ll be buying tracks that Indycar will use but races are tough to find. I’d focus on just getting in and out of F4/F3 because those have low driving standards but can at least fast track you to a B license if you just finish races without incidents.

    Is your dashboard overlay available in SimHub as well?

    • @TeamI5G
      @TeamI5G  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't have SimHub but I'm sure there's something similar/better than mine over there since that one seems a bit more active in terms of number of people making dashes.

    The iracing manual for this car says it does have an onboard starter, you have to be in neutral and hold it until the rpms reach 3k

    "You must take both types of tyres." - Even if it's an oval.

    • @MattieSinclair
      @MattieSinclair 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      California law requires both tyre types be treated equally
