For the ones that wonder :

The SR is calculated simply as your number of incidents per turns. It goes between 0 to 4.99
When you reach 4.0 and you completed thr minimum requirement for that class you are eligible to ' fast track' to the next class. Classes go Rookie D C B A. Pro is not realy a class it's a title.
Gaining SR is super easy when you are a rookie, gets painfull when you become B, A.

You can gain 0.05 with 12inc in rookie, but loose 0.3 inc with a x4 while A class.

So when you go banging doors with a bunch of ego maniacs in a 10 lap race that last 25 min, your SR gain even at low class level is painfull.  Now if you race a F1 you'll race 50 min running gazzillions of turns, your SR will rise faster ... But you are of a higher class so the gain is tempered.


What you have to understand with iRacing, is that it  tries to simulates the choices real race car drivers do ... Should I push it or try to keep what I have. Especially true in the higher license levels where championship points are on the line, that you are trying to keep your SR up to stay in the serie, and that you can only race a couple of times a week.

Way less turn 1 hero there. This is were iRacing shines I think. Pm me w ur name ill add u a a friend, so we can be in the same races. Ill even do some SS races 2i please the oval guys from time to time.

Send me a PM in Iracing French, Ryan Norton.

On the subject of IRating I made the top 10 list for points gained, sitting in sixth with 296 gained on 1506 total.

Thanks for the SR explanation!
So, the fastest way out of rookie, is to buy a fast car, and then drive it - carefully - through lots of turns in time trials.

Anybody driving road tracks?
Currently my best lap at Laguna Seca is 1:44.732 in a MX-5 cup - I thought it was ok until I saw a fellow do a 1:41.xxx, impossible! :(

Actually you want a car track combo that racks up the most corners at a
safe speed in the least amount of time.Your SR is based off turns and
incidences, the Legend at Lanier is a good one, sixteen turns a minute!

Ok, now my SR is 3.43, but then it says "check calendar for promotion dates".
However, the calendar doesn't mention anything concerning promotions.
What am I supposed to do?  :headscratch:

Wait for the season to end or get a 4.0 SR to receive instant promotion...rookies get promoted at the end of the month.

When I started iracing you could only get pro g moted at the end of each season. Meaning it took me the whole year to reach class A. Like strip said, you can get promoted:

* At the end of the season if your SR>3.0 and you completed your minimum requirement.
* Right away with ' fast track' if SR>4.0 and you completed your min req.

You get demoted if your SR goes below 1.0 I think, maybe its 2.0

The min req (MPR) is 4 TT or official race in a car in the class you currently are in. On your iRacing dashboard, click mpr next to your helmet to see what's left to accomplish.

My thoughts as well.  Much, much better suited to M-O than to Summit.

Pulling everything out that I can think of but I still cant break into the 1.39xxx's. 

Had a horrible bit of luck last night... sat 3rd on pole, moved up to second after the #2 man had a crap start, pulled away from the pack with the leader after Turn 2 and through Turn 3... then promptly swung the bellybutton end around in Turn 4 since "cold tires" was not audible over the screams of "DON'T SCREW UP, NOW!"

Sigh... slow is smooth... smooth is fast...   :joystick:

Thanks for suggestion guys. I managed to do low 16s just staying in 4th gear.  If only other players would stop spinning out  in front of me and taking me out in the process.  Last night I ended upside down twice!

My fastest lap time at Mid Ohio is 37.1**. I found that feathering the throttle mid corner works great to balance the skippy.

I had the race of my life tonight! Started 9th on the grid and finished 5th, could have been 4th.

Here's my setup if you want it.
