Biggest thing to remember is that with an a fixed set, your probably losing time because of how you drive the car, and not how you adjust the fixed set. Same with tire saving. How you drive the car is way more important.
Indeed. The amount of times I see set up beggars in fixed that think settings make speed is astounding. Then they will refuse to believe that I am just running stock when I contend for wins while they are still lapped obstacles.
No. Some fixed setups fit my driving style more than yours so I have an advantage. Sometimes it is the other way around. This is why open setup series are the most fair. Everyone can have a setup that is catered to his style.
@theonlylolking that may be the case for you, but at the highest level, people are so used to driving a really tight fixed set and a really loose fixed set, you end up seeing the same people up front no matter how tight/loose the set is.

steering ratio- 12:1 everywhere except martinsville where ill run 8:1 and bristol where ill run 10:1 brake bias i run as low as possible in arca gen 4 trucks and B car varies on feel any where from 64% up to 70%. for offset i want a centered steering wheel on the straight just like on the street. i always set my offset using motec ill set to 0 offset.. run a lap with telemetry on and set my final offset to whatever my steering angle is showing in motec on the straights.. although chicagoland being a radiused back stretch i drag the car position cursor down the straight and use the average steering angle for offset, then ill run a lap or two just to make sure its centered. the biggest thing i see is people who dont have there wheel calibrated properly in iracing and they struggle to get their offset right. my tip is. go in to your wheels driver software turn the wheel until it shows dead center then put a piece of tape on the wheel right at the hub and then place another piece of tape on the wheel base and align it with the tape on the wheel, that way when you calibrate it in iracing you can be sure your wheel is at true center.
im pretty muchL 8:1most speedways
I run a G29 and as weird as it might be, but it helped me by going into the logitech HUB and turned my wheel down from 900 degrees to 720
I always end up moving my offset in the trucks to about +6 degrees. I like having "right-hand down" in the wheel because I'm a filthy IndyCar guy and it is most comfortable to me. Plus, it helps me run a higher ratio (which I'm not typically used to coming from indycars) without having SO much wheel input in the corners.
Thanks, awesome giving this info to the masses.
Been meaning to look into this subject, thanks man
These are super useful even for NASCAR Heat 5. I’m going to eventually build a wooden sim then get a PC to do iracing
Really interesting hearing all the reasonings
Crazy that I literally looked this up yesterday
I agree with everything other than I think at least
for me I like to keep my steering offset at zero. but really enjoyed the video.. thanks
Higher force feedback seems to help me turn better due to more resistance in the wheel. Is there something else I can adjust for better steering? It seems like I'm having to turn my wheel more than I should
i forgot to mention my force feedback part.. i generally run it as low as i can and still have some feel in it.. i'll dial it in with lap times. i have noticed if my FFB is too high i appear to scrub too much speed on the super speedways.
Justin you should do a video explaining how the front mc and rear mc braking work for A fixed cars i struggle to know where to put it in races
I have a logitech G920 (i think lol) I found that 14-1 steering ratio works the best for me. i wanted to be on 16-1 but it felt a little too sluggish. Also, you really got me into iracing! Thanks for that, but my wallet is not a fan of you.
I had the same but older model of that wheel, the G27. I ran a 16:1 a lot but I felt like I was turning the wheel far too much and was under driving the car. Had a top 5 car in a league race, ended up P10 after both a bad strategy call on a restart but also just be a I was under driving everything. I started backing the steering ratio off as well after that. I like the car on the rear anyway.
Depending on the track the ratio could change. Like Daytona I run 10:1 and Charlotte I run 12:1 for a little loser entry
Thanks for the tips man
Hi, I'm new to oval racing and have a quick question. I wanna progress to oval C class, mostly so I can race the indy 500. I'm D class currently, close to D 4.0. Can I just buy the nascar truck when I reach D 4.0 and get c class by racing in the truck series, without having to buy the ARCA or another D class car for?
The goat amongst all goats
I like offsets slightly to the right
Ur wild haha
@@DJYeeJay nah on 87s for example makes sense if you like small steering ratios because the minimum is already too high so you don't have to turn too much with the offset to the right
@DJYeeJay I'm not the only one either lol. I have quite a few friends who do the same
I use the Moza CS V2P
It has a 13" wheel size, I usually like my ratio at 12:1
Honestly I was one of those people who looked for a magic setup option for a long time. Until I stopped, I stopped touching anything and decided its about how I drive the car. I started to compete for wins. Now I am almost afraid to touch the fixed setups.
Run higher ratios at the flat out need to be smooth tracks. Other than that I run default.
Fun fact: some of the first iRacing pros would not use force feedback because they felt it gave them a competitive advantage.
I know someone who still uses this strategy lol
At the time they were right, cause the force feedback was not nearly as good as it is now.
so how does the steering ratio get adjusted in A class it uses something else than 12:1 or 16:1 so how do those numbers correspond with the A class cars you said you were gonna talk about all the cars but leave A class out most of the video besides the brake bias and still barely talked about that
theres no direct conversion but 2.36 in the a car is close to 12:1 but still different by a little bit. 3.15 is like 8:1
am i the only one who likes my offset to the right?
Grass at Martinsville @ 1:47,
then no grass @ 3:15?
How long have you been working on this? 😂
These days when I make these videos I just pull footage from old guides because it’s more efficient lol
I always have my steering offset to where my wheel is about 2-3 degrees to the right, purely preference
nascar and pokemon fan I see... me too.. me too...
I have found for certain tracks and cars that offset has a huge impact on tire wear🤷♂️
I think being uncomfortable in your offset can lead you to do things that hurt tires, but in theory all offsets are created equal
It’s not 57%. 3% of 60 is 1.8
First
How do you get anywhere in Arca? An entire race with zero incidents give .06 SR where even a 2x you lose .11 Seems like instead of having fun racing I have to manage risk because if I don't I might lose access to content I paid for because my SR dropped. I have the exact same issue in D Class formula cars and sports car I refuse to do every again, I have never met more elitst dickheads than those in sports car.
