The difference between iRating and Safety Rating is pretty straight forward. But how do you use it? For me, it is just a tool that tells me how i’m doing and not a goal in itself

Category: Thoughts
Throughout the couple of years that I have raced on the console, I have always had a mixed feeling of admiration and jealousy for the people racing on a wheel. It was clear that racing-games are meant to be raced with a racing wheel, and I felt that racing with the controller, although it felt […]

Do you like racing for the racing?
I must assume that all of us who are hooked on sim racing, must be at least to some extend interested in racing. At least i am, but not nearly as passionate as some of the other people i race with. I personally like following the F1 championship, and have done so since the mid […]
iRacing is not quite straight forward when you’re coming from other more casual racing games. Here are the 5 things i struggled to get used to, when i started racing on iRacing
