Hey guys.
I have just completed my first full race with the MX5's and am loving iRacing, however I am finding it hard. Does anyone have any advice with this car??
I can do 20 laps relatively trouble free maybe 1 or 2 spins but nothing major, the only thing I can think of is going a bit slower but then I will be annoying other drivers. I have read the tutorial and other guides I have found and have watched the videos which do help but still cant be consistent.
Also I started in 15th, finished in 11th but still only got 0.06 licence point things. I got 18 inc points, does that have a big effect on the licence?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If it helps to view my stats ect. my username is John Souter.
Thanks.

Err yes, your incident point have a big affect on your SR, safety rating. Gaining SR is about driving clean. I would say 18 is alot. You basically need to drive as clean as you can, if that means slowing down then slow down! You shouldnt be racing people in the rookie classes, its all about getting out of it so drive clean and be paitent, you've got 12 weeks, or get to 4.0. Good luck

Reduce your force feedback, as it will make it a lot easier not to spin, especially when racing Lime Rock! I think I have MX-5 on 5 or 6 in game rather than 12!

I wouldn't worry too much about being in club Celtic. club England and club Celtic will be merging "soon".

Ironically the Scotland, England and Ireland clubs may be about to merge back into a unified UK & Ireland club.  |

To finish first, first you must have fins.  |

That I can live with. I just don't like people assuming that I'm Scottish just because I live here. It's a beautiful country but I am English. :-)
