iRacing #HG

#511 Ese es un buen plan.

#513 Es lento sí, pero si no te parece un reto conducirlo al límite y no aprendes a hacerlo, tener coches más rápidos no va a mejorar la experiencia. Porque vas a gastar dinero en coches más potentes y te van a quitar las pegatinas.
Es mejor que aprendas a sacar todo lo que los coches lentos tienen que ofrecer antes de ir a los más rápidos.
El Skip Barber es bastante lento también.
En la vida real es un coche que conducen niños en categorías inferiores, no esperes un cohete.

¿Qué quieres pillarte el F1 y volar?
Si te metes en carreras con los coches más rápidos te van a sacar 5 segundos por vuelta.
No quieras correr antes de aprender a gatear.
Aprende a dominar los coches lentos y los circuitos. Pasa a los coches más rápidos poco a poco.
A razón de 1 categoría superior a la semana o cada 2 semanas sería una buena velocidad de progreso.
Si eres capaz de ir subiendo de licencia rápidamente solo tendrás que pillar 2 o 3 circuitos y los coches que se necesiten en clase D, C, B y A para participar en una carrera de cada categoría.
Cuanto más tardes en subir más circuitos tendrás que comprar porque cada semana cambian a uno diferente, y si no lo tienes no podrás subir de licencia.

El primer coche que realmente vas a notar que es muy rápido es el Radical SR8, HPD, Dallara y el que más obviamente el F1. Pero las diferencias de tiempo con los mejores de cada categoría se acentuarán cuando más rápido sea el coche.
Porque lo normal es que el límite de cada coche esté más lejos, y aprender a alcanzar ese límite sin perder el control es donde está la dificultad.

Dentro de unos días tendremos este coche en iRacing.

Y esta es la transcripción de un vídeo sobre las novedades que nos esperan la semana que viene.

Hey everyone, for those of you who showed up to today's Twitch broadcast, Thank You! It was fun - new territory for us. We've taken all of your constructive criticism to heart - we hope to do something like this for the Nurburgring when it comes out, in a more organized format. We hope you still enjoyed it though!

You can even view the chat as it happened live with a browser extension called ReChat: https://www.rechat.org/ It displays the chat on the side as it appeared during the broadcast.

I've taken the liberty of organizing our answers for easy reading below:

I would like to know if the future of iRacing is to please the masses of gamers... Or if it's to create the most realistic and immersive form of racing. So many companies are making moves in their development to ensure they are reaching the masses, They have become more worried about the money than creating their original goal. My fear is that iRacing may cater to the masses rather than creating year after year, a more REALISTIC and IMMERSIVE racing experience... Many can't afford a race car and all that is involved , and iRacing is the next best thing. I don't want a game , I want a racing simulation. What outlook does iracing have in 2015 and moving forward? The latter, we want to achieve the most realistic form of racing possible.
