- About a year ago, we set out on a journey to explain some of our best tips to racing against other people in a respectable, but competitive manner. Earlier this year, we released the second part of the series, which included tips on the art of defensive driving. More or less, today's Part 3 covers how to do all of that and keep your nose clean in the process.
PART 1: • Improving Your Sim Rac...
PART 2: • How To Defend In Sim R...
You can have the best attack, the best defense, the fastest quick laps, but if you don't know how to avoid incidents, you'll likely find yourself constantly asking why other people keep crashing into you. Sometimes, there are things that are just unavoidable. However, part of this racing thing, in real-world and simulated racing, is having the mindset to do what it takes to elongate your own race.
We're going back to attack and defense, but this time we're putting the emphasis on clean racing. While in some forms of motorsport, "rubbing is racing", truth be told, most races you'll compete in are not under that mindset. All the best moves, whether it's on offense or defense, will be for naught if you're unwilling to compromise with a poor move from your opposition or a low percentage move from yourself.
Here's our guide for those situations, and it includes the overall principles of racing clean, how to make sure your defense stays clean, what to do when the sliding scale of responsibility is leaning one way or another, things you should actively try not do in any circumstance, and of course, what to do if all that fails and it goes wrong anyway.
You're not going to be able to avoid every incident, but knowing some of these tips could help you with making it to the end unscathed more often than not. Agree? Disagree? Let us know what you think about it in the comments below! Be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2 of our Ultimate Guide to Racecraft as well!

The hardest part of any game is always the start Turn 1, it’s always a roll of the dice until everyone gets through T1 or doesn’t. There’s some tracks that it’s worse like monza turn 1 where everyone is just carrying to much speed or Monaco where there’s just no room for anyone to make a mistake on the opening lap.
I am in the same boat as you, often not being aggressive enough. And to be honest, I am fine with that. I enjoy it much more when I am on the arse of a car than when I have someone at mine.
I also enjoy trying to force an error on their part much more than sending it.
What I don't understand is aggressive driving on laps 1 and 2. It is SUCH high risk.
Also, if I can see on my relative that a faster car is catching me and there is too much time left I don't defend. The same if I make an error I make sure to leave space. Unfortunately I expect the same from other drivers... And thaaaat.
Pet peeve: blue flag blindness
Practice makes permanent not perfect 👍
I like this one
@TraxionGG thank you, i learned this from a coach while training for Rotherham United school of excellence when i was 14, never heard anyone say it but its true :-)
Love this series!! Thank you and keep them coming 😎👌
Thanks!
Links to part 1&2 would be useful…?
Hey thanks for the comment, links are in the description now!
@@TraxionGG thank you, I will enjoy watching them!
Particularly useful timing, today after many years racing AI but being too too scared to race online (slow, not wanting to destroy other people’s races…) I’ve finally signed up to LFM and had 3 very enjoyable races on RF2 today!
😀
This is turning into a nice series that is informative AND engaging. I hadn't seen the previous parts, so I decided to watch them first, and it wasn't as easy as it should have been to find them.
A playlist would help, and as @wibblewabblewoo wrote, links to previous parts in the description would be great. But seriously, your naming convention has all the consistency of F1 stewarding decisions. Three different parts, with three different series titles:
|The Ultimate Guide:
|The Ultimate Racecraft Guide:
|Ultimate Guide to Racecraft:
Pick a series title and stick to it, because underneath the difficulty finding the episodes, and the time between each one, this is a really useful series.
What about bad rejoins? Where people go off track and then immediately drive onto the track and into someone?
This series needs to be attached at the iRacing homepage as a racecraft tutorial LMAOO
i feel like this needs to be a unskippable, required watch before you can start racing when you first sign up
I need a group a friends to start iracing with I just got yesterday and I would love to race with friends
One time, i got fucked over by yielding at karting. I was side-by-side with other guy on a straight line that funneled narrower into a right hairpin. I was on the left side and i just crashed into a tire wall and the entired kart flipped over.
It was kind of awesome though.
In motocross we do block passes
The guys in my acc lobbys need to see this
First comment lol
All the new players kill the online lobbies. If you don't have a wheel you shouldn't be playing a simulation game.
Some of my experiences in iRacing were not with new player. One of them got my blood boiling, there was a 5k irating guy in a f4 practice, and started to swear and shit talk me, because I lost control of my car and "destroyed" one of his laps(he didn't crash or anything he just had to go a bit slower in one corner). He kept repeating "thats why you are 1.2k" without knowing that I'm fairly new. And at the time I got really demotivated, because people just downtalk others for something like that. And since then, few more examples like this. I think childish people and people with big egos destroy the lobbies in general.
