P.S. Informative and thankfully very honest introduction into the simulator. Now i know, what Simulator not to choose for spontaneous casual racing xD
Thanks Gleb!
Anyone with at least 2 brain cells knows that this video was super helpful
Dang. I thought this was gonna be a complaint but you turned it around one me.
With only two brain cells... Like me.
This is wildly helpful. I mean, we are all paying to play versus arcade play on a console. I appreciate the explanation!
helpful but im still lost lol
ive only got one
I’ve watched dozens and dozens of reviews of gaming how too’s, that is without a doubt the clearest, easiest to understand and informative review I have ever seen. Well done brilliant and thank you.👍
I'm brand new to Iracing and these video have been right on time! Thank you very much for your time and efforts! I've joined your Discord and looking forward to future racing.
Thanks a lot, really glad you help. Great see you over there 👌🏻
This was not only really helpful, but got me really excited to start my career.
I was so afraid to start iracing but now everything is more clear. Thank you so much David!!!
Just got a month of iracing on sale and this has been really helpful, very informative video, Thanks!
David, many thanks for the clear introduction and tips, this got me started and I finished my first race yesterday 8th place and happy
well done mate, how is it going now?
I’m just about to take the jump into iRacing and this video was excellent. I learned a lot watching this. Thanks so much for posting! 👍
Awesome video. All your videos I've watched so far are super helpful. It's like having a sim racing mentor. Thanks David!
1 min into the video and I straight away press Subscribed. Fantastic video.
Thanks very much, glad you liked it
My strategy is stay away from everyone. Go super high let anyone pass. Never race hard with anyone and I finish top 7 every time. Nascar only.
But where's the fun in that. Might as well do hotlaps
Bro luv your Channel getting ready to start iRacing very soon
Thanks mate if you use my email: david@sampsoid.com as a refferal that would a big help. Thanks a lot for the support
Thank you David, building my sim right now and getting ready to get started. Thanks for the in depth knowledge!
Glad to help, hope to see you out on track!
Absolutely excellent video. Have been considering making the jump to PC and joining iRacing. This video has a wealth of info for someone just diving in. Sincerely appreciate it.
Best iracing video i have ever watched this will help me a lot thank you so much awsome job
Thanks so much for the videos! So informative for me while getting started this past month. Hope to see you on the track soon. Saw you were in the Carolina region like me.
Just getting into iRacing due to significant peer pressure. This video is a great starting point. Thanks very much!
Excellent mate - well done. Absolutely loved your explanations, easy to understand and very newbie friendly. Good on ya :)
we need more people like you in this world. People that care about others. Stay blessed brother.
Great video. I watched quite a few videos about starting with iRacing, but this is by far the best imo.
best part of the video, if some question just get in my mind.. in the following 5 minutes i got the answer of it :)
so excited for my 1st wheel coming in this week !!im completely new to sim racing and this is very helpful and encouraging! appreciate you and this video im sure ill learn more in your other videos as well! thanks
Same here! I cant wait!
Do you still use it?
I got ACC recently after playing F1 2019 and realising I wanted to drive GT cars - picked up a G29 and absolutely loving it - right into the Sim Racing world and watching all the virtual GPs and GT3 races but iracing comes up a lot so I decided to find a good vid on it, I didn't find that here tho, I found a GREAT one! Fantastic overview and I'm tempted to give this a go as the fact that most people playing are aiming for the same thing, the racing should be semi serious (although I know Rookie will be chaos!.
I'm looking through your other vids to find the referral as it's not here - subbed and will use your code once I track it down.
Look forward to checking more of your content
Detailed and clear video. Thanks for the explanation! Starting iRacing today
Sensational video and done in basically one take from the look of the clock. Well done! Looking forward to absorbing the rest of your content. Subd
So non of my friends are into sim racing so I just went out on my own into this hobbie and this video help a bunch with getting my barrings. Thanks dude!
Excellent video Dave. Simple to understand and you cut thru a lot of the chaff. Thanks for doing this!
Glad you liked it and you are very welcome.
gREAT VIDEO i JUST STARTED WITH MY g29 IN irACING AND THIS IS very HELPFULL TY I subbed!
Thanks really glad it helped! Thanks a lot and hope to see you on track.
Bow at the waist! My thanks to you. I had NO idea what the Beta was...it was just hanging out on my desktop (heck, I get scared and exit out immediately). I did a ton of research form web searches, CZcams Videos, Live iRacing events and then...I had no Idea what the heck to do next but I do now. I have been practicing, only...gonna take the plunge tomorrow. Great videos, with detailed content that has been invaluable.
Ran into you by coincidence. I am thinking about getting into iRacing and this video nicely summed it up. Appreciate your effort into this vid. I will check your other vids. Thx :)
This video should be mandatory viewing for all the noobs that have joined since the Corona lock down. Great job! I've been iRacing for about 10 months and wish I watched this 10 months ago!👍👍
Thanks a lot, really glad you liked it.
Currently downloading Iracing so thank you for your time and effort into explaining all this mate. Cheers mate... also I just subscribed haha 😄
I will now be looking to see what else ya got going on
As a newbie it seems very daunting tho this was the most understandable review I’ve seen so far . I don’t need to watch any other I’ll be staying here for all my info from now on thank you
Thanks, glad it helped.
I bought a 6 month sub and this video really helped me out, you got yourself a sub, thanks!
I'm working on getting my sim setup now that I have a better system to run it on. I played it one time about 2 years ago with a cheap computer with a controller and I couldn't even finish the first lap. I really enjoyed the video and I subscribed to your channel an I rarely do that. keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing more recent content that you've put out! keep it clean and bring the car home.
Thanks for the video! Been racing f1 and gran truisms sport for a half a year and just bought a pc. Signed up today to iracing, this helped a lot. Wish I had added your email before signing but didn’t watch the video in time.
Glad I could help! Enjoy mate, hope to see you out on track.
Amazing starter guide, thanks so much! I'm in the Carolina region also, hope to see you out there!
this was so helpful, im getting the game in a few days and i'll make sure to use your referal thingy
Thanks for all the info David, great info for us joining iRacing
what an awesome intro to iracing! ty for the depth and advice.
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Great stuff , as always !
Thanks a lot mate
Well explained! I'm glad to see new players coming to iRacing, and these videos help them to be prepared ahead of time and avoid some of the avoidable things, luck being of course a part of the game. I'm trying to do the same with my channel, keep it up man!
Very informative, thanks!
Wow this was just absolutely wonderful, so helpful and clear
Great vids, really easy to follow and lots of great info.
This vid persuaded me to buy iracing ( black Friday deal 119$ 2years) and I used your email as reference.
Subscribed and will keep watching more 😁😁😁
Absolutely amazing video mate.
Thank you! Was difficult to understand the game, but this was helpful!
Just got a 3 month sub and super happy I found this video really helped me out alot and think now I'm ready to jump into the game.. Still curious on what's best to do first like jump in to a practice then do the race etc if you have a video on like the first races.. Again thanks for this video super helpful and glad I found this before I started the game
Great video. And I have done real racing in a Cleo class, and iRacing is the only "racing game" that can bring that same feeling to most drivers in a race. As you say it, bring the car home. Getting a race done without hitting anything. Get the most out of it and drive clean. I cant race other "sims" where drivers come from the back and dive into 12 other cars on the first turn..... they dont race as if it was real. And this is what iRacing can bring to the race. A great feeling of real life racing. Love it.
Thanks for this, I just signed up to 3 months of iRacing with your referral so hopefully you get something out of that :)
Thank David - I'll be signing up to I-Racing later this weekend
Excellent video. Much appreciated.
VERY HELPFUL!!!!! Thank you for this video.
very good video. Really looking forward to start one day, maybe whenever they have their next sale. One bit of info that you could've added would've been the lengths of race for each class I guess. As a relative new sim racer (AC & ACC), I struggle with longer races, 20-30mins races are so much more enjoyable than 45+ min races at the moment.
nice vid! got my playseat sensation pro and fanatic dd1 coming...my first time into sim racing.
Super helpful video. I purchased a Logitech G Pro wheel and pedals and, I just subscribed to IRacing. Very informative video. Appreciate this two years later. Was kinda shocked when I saw the cars and tracks were in game micro transactions. This video broke this down brilliantly. Cheers!
Awesome explanation. Iracing is definitely unique to other games ive seen but nice work.
Fantastic introduction. Thanks so much.
this video is simply amazing. I'm sold.
Thanks Cam, glad you like it and see you on track.
Great video, thanks for your help mate
Thank you. Great overview.
Thanks for the video mate. I'm considering joining iRacing so that's helpful
Great video David thanks so much!! Happily added you as my introducer having just joined Iracing - but the bit about Rookie Class and how tough it is is a bit overdramatic to say the least.... don't qualify so you start at the back, drive like a Granny, let drivers who crashed and are recovering through without a fight. Got my Class D after 3 races. Now comes the hard part - might have to try actually qualifying and racing sometime soon....
Great video. i wish this was available when i first stepped into iracing., would have made life easier for me when i started. keep em coming . lots to digest in the beginning . 5*****
Thanks so much, your support is awesome!!
Great video! Very informative!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!
Great video. I just started sim racing yesterday. I got a g29 and iracing. It's loads of fun but damn it's hard. I just hate when you have a accident in the start and have to wait 12 mins in pit 🤣
in practise or a race? In practise you can request a new car
really good video and loads of good info for a new racer like me. Cheers nice one :-)
Awesome intro video! Thank you.
I get my computer and everything set up tomorrow thanks bro!
Thank you, great video. :)
awesome videos. very helpful. thanks
Thanks a lot David. Nice job of explaining. I've been a member of iRacing for a good 6 years, anyway, but I still suck! Going over the fundamentals is refreshing, and I learned some things I never learned when I first started. I subscribed and I'll be watching more. Thanks again! I do have one question maybe you can answer - how do you recommend getting one on one training, so I can ask questions as they come up? There are so many variable, I'm having a tough time sorting it all out to figure out what I'm doing "wrong".
Awesome video! I'm buying logitech g29 setup tomorrow and materials to build my own rig.
Nice! Great to hear. Hope to see you out on track!
Fantastically helpful. Explained so much. Still not sure if ready to make the jump to iRacing. New to racing games both arcade and sim. iRacing seems way beyond my skill levels at the moment.
Thanks for this video!
Great video mate. Many thanks.
Thanks a lot, glad it helped
Very good and clear how to vid , tnx!
love this!
Very good video, thank you!
You are welcome!
I played(and somehow WON!) my very first race today, it was a random "for fun" lobby and it was amazing. I'm hooked, we did 40 Oval short track laps in '34 Fords and it was an absolute blast. Although I made an ass of myself after with some lame donuts not thinking about all the lapped cars... whoops. But my safety rating went up by .24 so I don't think it hurt that much.
Thanks for the info :)
not gonna lie the intro hooked me. great intro
Thinking of jumping in..
This was good
ive been on i racing for 9 months now but i usally do dirt but thanks for the road help :)
Happy to help! Hope to see you out on the track
David Sampson yes I’ve just completed 2 of my first Mazda races and I finished 9th and 7th in those races
hey man, just came across your channel recently, and even sent a friend this video to get him familiar with the service! My friends an I are doing the 24hrs of nurb in a couple weeks, and our iratings are similar. We would love to have you if you dont already have a team!
Good video. Thanks :)
Great tutorial!
Great videos! Thanks for the time that goes into them! Would I need a clutch and shifter in iracing - or can you use a two pedal set up and paddles - wasn't sure with some of the required rookies leagues (i.e mx5 etc) Thank you!
just subscribed and put your name down when i signed up - loving the content mate - thank you
you got me subbed on this video
Great Video...
Thanks, I'm thinking of buying a subscription now.
Thanks !
great video very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
I really appreciate this video very detailed well deserved like and sub also gonna use your promo to see some more content like this
thx so much
WOW David, you have a lot in the INTRO TEXT. I clicked on the 'More' looking for an Index and a time-stamp! You had it all, THANKS.
THIS iRacing sounds really interesting and like lots of fun? I raced off-road motorcycles for 14 years, every kind that they had. So I have racing in my blood but too OLD to do it anymore! However, this could (maybe) take it's place, but there are so many complaints about it; #1 he price, the complexity, the rules, old graphics. Even PRO racers who have tried it complained about it, "The handling is worse than the real cars!" "Real cars are much more forgiving and easier to handle."
PRICE, being IF I got this and played it a lot it could cost me $300 + for the first year! Then IF I decide I don't like it, I will have nothing left over to show for my time and money!! I hate greedy gaming companies, so I probably won't even TRY IT, because they have designed NOTHING for those who want to try it!
Thanks Sampsoid. Hope you reached A rating!
If it wasnt for this video I couldn’t have done anything in the game... thank you!
