- Trying iRacing for the very first time! I am just getting started in my sim racing career, so I decided to try out iRacing and see if how well I could do in my first every race as a beginner, or as it's known - a Rookie.
I had a load of fun with this so if you are interested in seeing more sim racing content like more iRacing, other sim racing games, sim racing set up videos, or reviews of sim racing gear, then please subscribe and let me know in the comments below!

I just started Rookie myself last week after years of ACC and after this video i finally know why i encounter people with 1-2 SR daily. Luckily i wasnt part of any of this messiness you had to encounter in others.
Good luck with your eye racing ventures maybe I’ll see you on the track
What amazing content!
love seeing videos from a beginner jumping straight in to iracing.
Thank you!
I'm in the same boat lol brand new to sim racing, went all in. Struggling with the miata
little piece of advice. try to brake while going in a straight line. most of your spins were because you started braking while you were already turning. Try to get most of your braking done before you start turning the wheel. Keep it up takes time but you will improve immensely with some practice.
Definitely gonna try and be better with this. Thanks bro
An addition because some comments mention it: when you are on the throttle the car gets lighter at front. Its why you get pushed into the seat when something accelerates. The car does this too, and all the weight goes to the back. It balances itself when at speed, but when braking or lifting the gas the opposite will happen in a more or less heavy effect. The back of the car wants to "lift off" the track and push forward (but goes up because of friction and weight balance - other topic). Depending on how much speed dependent the aerodynamics of your car are, the lesser traction is applied at your rear wheels -> the car gets inbalanced and you oversteer. F1 cars. e.g. have to decrease braking pressure because the slower they are, the less aerodynamic force pushes them into the track, so the traction gets less and less and the wheels cant deliver the same braking power like at high speeds.
TL;DR:
Back to the rear wheels: when you ride a bike and slam the brake, especially in front, all the weight at the top (you) gets pushed forward. All this weight distribution has to move somewhere, but because you are bound to the ground and braking, too, the force has to move somewhere else. In the example of the bike you will rotate around the front wheel and your rear wheel will lift. The same applies to cars. Basically the car rotates around a specific point to move all that mass. This is when your car will get lighter at the back.
Amazing, thanks bro
The TL;DR is almost as long as the DR
@@Elwon20 how many words exactly? Sounds interesting.

Lift off oversteer, yeeeeha! :)
I couldnt get my breaking right either when I played on single monitor. Tried VR and everything changed. Its just something that will always suck on a flat screen.
VIR is a tough rookie track
Some small tips:
Use the relative blackbox because now you vant see who is coming up while you try to rejoin.
Second a small amount of braking gives extra rotation in corners and thats why you spin out a lot.
Also dont be afraid to practice and try different aproaches to a corner
The ff1600 does have a lot of lift off oversteer because of the diff. You can move bb forward to be more stable under braking
Thanks mate I'll have a look at that
This is hillarious because we've all been there, almost nostalgic.. great content! Also it's actually great fun to see rookie races instead of the usual 3000+
Btw lifting off throttle, the rpm goes down which can unsettle the car depending on how you do it, same goes for downshifting (but rpm up instead of down obviously)
Hahaha thanks mate! I'll have to try keep that in mind
lots of supportive comments giving advice, and they're all correct. When you start spinning, DO NOT slow down too much and definitely don't try to slow down a little with the brakes. your rear has lost traction and when you brake, it puts the weight even more to the front of your car and makes the rear lighter which makes it act like a pendulum (Great for cornering, but not great when you've lost traction). ENJOY !
You noticed it at 5:30, this corner is particularly bad because its off camber, down hill and turning while braking.
Awesome, hopefully I won't spin out too often!
You're probably going wild while breaking / slowing because you need to rev match during downshifts. You "blip" the gas when you shift down.
I will give a very short advice. It seems like you would benefit of learning more about weight transfer and balance.
You're losing traction when releasing the throttle through lift oversteer. Basically, when you lift, the weight balance of the car moves forward to the front wheels, so the back is more prone to stepping out.
Explain this better. I'm struggling
@@markwiner5543its all about controlling the weight transfer th-cam.com/video/MmvKcWHvAaI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L5fgZlsOkxr52Ws5

Straight fire! Thank you! @@vangeeson
@@markwiner5543 I use trailing throttle oversteer (lifting off the throttle) to help rotate the car going onto a turn Next to learn, trail braking 😅
Omg its like mario kart 😂 i dont remember rookies being this bad. Maybe because i was just as bad
I must inquire, what wheel might that be?
Logitech G29
@@TheNoviceRacerr My friend if you still have the g29, i would highly recomend moving to either MOZA or thrustmaster as they have higher quality products and more settings for the wheel and the experience
Thanks man! I want to go either Moza or Fanatec but I'm going for pedals before wheel.
little piece of advice whilst starting out there is no shame in using the racing line to get a feel for braking points lines and everything.
Thanks bro 🤝
Please don’t be this guy…. Practice with ai and learn the car you’re driving….
Lol this guy makes me feel super fast lol this guy has no clue he drives like my wife 😂
Does this game have a practice mode?
Yes you can drive any car and track combination that you own
@@raceace701 He should use that option.
In the game there is a test drive mode ,you can choose car and track then practice
In that car you can’t trail brake It’s stupid. You can’t be on the brake and turn at the same time
Blows my mind why the beginner car is oversteering so much under breaking. This is not a safe setup for beginners and there is no reason for it to be so bad.
I don't quite agree, I started iRacing myself less than a week ago and never crossed my mind to jump into a live race till I was able to keep it on the track for at least 20 clean laps...
The MX5 is an amazing car, it's lightweight, doesn't have much power and it's very fun to drive, however it has several considerations that you will learn if you care to take few practice laps on your own or vs AI:
- Tire temperature makes a WORLD of difference, is almost like driving a different car entirely so is worth to take it slow for at least 1.5 laps or 2 (depends on the circuit) to allow those rubbers to get some temperature
- The Miata is EXTREMELY sensitive to weight transfer, so you HAVE to learn how to brake properly and even more importantly how to release the brake at the correct speed so you don't unsettle the car and spin or understeer
This car is going to teach you real good how to be patient with the throttle and how to properly brake and trail brake to the point that when you feel comfortable with it you will feel much more ready tackling faster and more difficult cars.
Just keep on trying! Start slowly at first, warm up those tires and then get a feel how the car turns / reacts in different weight transfer conditions, when it clicks you will be able to rotate that thing at your free will and believe me it feels fucking AWESOME when you nail a corner on the limit with a bit of rotation completely under control.
Hope any of that helps anyone:)
take time to learn track before joining a race.
I mean, you're wearing a wife-beater how'd u think it was gone go?😅😅
Well.
5:49 surely that was on purpose, you that is. You're practically stopping in the middle of the track, sorta irresponsible doing this no practice but whatever who cares i guess.
Nope
Dude, give up on the "how to catch a predator" look.
Hahahaha
