I didn't care about ISR for a long time, but keep me posted with more info on this, it's getting interesting. :P

You shouldn't bother watching ISR (as it indirectly supports him with ad $$) as the show is terrible. It was sorta OK at times with Shaun, as they seemed a bit more sane with their reviews (albeit still iRacing biased), but the last time I watched an ISR video (which was fairly recent, only ~2 weeks old), he gave the impression that iRacing getting driver swaps was something revolutionary, even though LFS has had years of endurance racing with driver swaps.

Why people do not share setups here? It's a pain in the ass when you are new to a series and there's only 1 setup till the end of the week, when the track changes.

What series?

Indycar ?

So that'll be 5 GT3 cars racing against each other "soon". Need to get JJ72 to recreate the Craft Bamboo skin in iRacing!

The one with HPD

There's now two setups for Laguna Seca in the setup shop: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3255180.page You could also use one for another track that you think might suit, and go from there.

And lfs is dead.

Wow, this is really a HUGE announcement of the iR staff. Be prepared for numerous 24h Nordschleife events.

I recently tested iRacing again after a longer hiatus and I have to say I'm quite impressed with the NTM5... In my opinion it still suffers from a bit too much drop off with higher slip angles, but for the first time since they started I was able to pinpoint why a spin happened rather than having wtf-moments... I mainly tried the RUF and the V8SC - the Porsche felt great out of the box (though maybe slow), the Ford needed the base setup from the forums to come alive and be enjoyable...

lol, copycats

Let's see what happens at the ring with the iR physics, everyone demoted or kicked out because of safety ratings x1 by car spinning out of nowhere

I would get DQ'd before I finished a quarter of a lap

I don't know why but in LFS I can be 1 second off a WR but in iRacing can't go near 5 seconds of a good laptime, I just don't get that game.

Make sure you are checking the WRs of the current season, as physics change in each.

Watch an FW31 WR lap and laugh your ass off how unrealistic that driving is.

I have watched, for example the HPD at COTA, guys hitting 1:51s and I'm stuck at high 1:57s, I can't improve after mimicking the behaviour of the WR. Maybe I need to do 500 laps.

Hey guys, just as a quick promotion :
CoRe is supporting an iR-Cup with the german community RaceMore.de. The broadcast is in german though, but I think this is good racing if you look for something decent and short.

that's because a lot of iRacing is setup. IndyCar is perfect example. You can go to a flat out track and be a second off pace despite having the same gears and aero settings as some one. Every minor adjustment plays in a lot.

I've driven the F1 car and it really is unrealistic. But, with a proper setup it feels half decent I must admit.
