Was me gathering safety rating

45:07...
@The Wayfaerer ?

yeah that's my 15s of fame
was quite unlucky with the guy behind not able to brake in time otherwise i would have at least avoided a crash

 

[SillySausage]

I'm going to pretend I was feeling generous and not because I jumped the gun and made a mistake. I've got a brand new, second iRacing account with a 3 month subscription already paid for if anyone is interested. Might be good if anyone is wanting to try out iRacing (for free).

EDIT: @Darksi has been given this account for the time being. Once he's given iRacing a go and worked out if it's for him or not I'll lend this account to someone else.

I took the plunge and bought iRacing today. The graphics aren't anywhere near as good as Project CARS 2, but the physics of controlling a race car feel much better, in my opinion.

I even won my second race!

Welcome to the team and congrats for your win

I got my D Rating today. Hopefully that opened up some more series for me.

When I'm looking at the 'Official Races' page, when does the red-colored "MPR->" mean versus the green-colored "<-MPR" next to the series titles?

Red banner means, that this race does not count for the promotion or next license and the green ones count.

 

[Zemke]

Ah ok. So if I want to progress towards the C Rating, I need to stick to the races that have the green MPR?

And the ones with a red MPR are just for fun, at this point?

more precisely, the Red races are still counting for your safety rating, but the green ones are important for your progress

 

[Zemke]

OK cool. Thank you!

 

[javoresku]

To be even more clear - Red MPR counts towards your IR and SR, but doesn't count toward minimum participation requirement. Green counts towards everything.

 

[Zemke]

What if it's blank? Some of them don't have an MPR icon at all.

 

[Dutchtastic]

MPR in red = Doesn't work towards improving your SR licence requirements besides Safety / iRating influence
No MPR = Doesn't work towards improving your SR licence requirements besides Safety / iRating influence
MPR in green= Does work towards improving your SR licence requirements besides Safety / iRating influence

Black F = Fixed setup
Blue M = Multiclass event
Yellow stripe = Team event

 

[Zemke]

Well, poop. The only series that has a green MPR for me is the VLN Endurance Championship. It's a 6-hour race, I believe, and only held every couple weeks.

 

[The Wayfaerer]

That's interesting, normally series like the Fanatec Global Challenge and the Skip Barber Series should also show a green MPR
maybe it's worth checking your Series filters on the Official Races page

Got my A License Already on 4.99. Thanks Le Mans!

A decade of racing plus Day/Night teaser! Can’t wait.

Day/Night will be amazing, I am already enjoying it in rF2

Yes, I do see those series, but they are blank for me. No MPR icon at all.

The day/night cycle will be great!
