Progression shout-out thread.

[Yoeri Gijsen]

I noticed while reading this forum that a lot of people are working on their licenses, ratings and standings, so I figured it might be a nice idea to have this one thread where you can shout out your latest marks, achievements and memorable moments.

So, let flow the "Yay, I got my D-license!"-'s, "Yeah, 2000 iRating!"-'s and "Whoohooo, my first victory!"-'s.

My hands are shaking like hell. My first win guys! I can't really believe that.

We had a race with more than 50 drivers so I got into the lower split... I drove safely, nicely, had a lot of luck and whooohoooo! Amazing race, truly staggering. I am going to make video as soon as possible.

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Good to hear that. Addictive, isn't it?

 

[Greg Carr]

Nice Jan!

I managed to do a whole 3 laps today in that same series, before I spun and got collected, and quit because the car was to damaged, and now I lost a chunk of my SR and iRating

 

[Adam Sawyer]

Just joined on the 4th and am sooo addicted, so much better than public on race07 although still loadsa wreckers. Oval Q'd 10th and no wrecks in front for 3 laps, then a 5 car pile up that I dodged and then just kept it clean and 2 cars ahead touched and I passed them then the front 2 had separate incidents where one lost back end pushing too much and other got wrecked by a back marker. Rode my luck the whole race and first win!! Feels great! =D.

Still unsure how progression works, so I have to wait until end of month an make sure I have req SR right? Then I get class D?

 

[Jan Roman]

No. All yo uhave to do to get out of Rookies is to drive at least 2 races or time-trials and have you SR above 4.00. You'll get "Fast Track" promotion to D class.

 

[Nico Van Elk]

Made it to B Class and got the 2000 irating award

Will probably lose irating again as last week I was in a couple races where drivers with very high (6000+) irating didn't finish, so giving me more irating than my laptimes are worth.

Did get the Corvette. Now that's a beast.

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Keep going, Nico. You'll crawl up a little bit every time.

 

[Eric Estes]

Not so much a progression - but did make driver of the round for the Lotus Classic Team Championship at Brands Hatch . Currently 2nd in Div 5, but Matej will be difficult to overtake.

Just got my B class license, Just 0.48 safety rating to go, I am looking forward to my A class license. Spa is on the schedule however, 1x offtracks will probably hold me at class B. Looking forward to Motegi though, extremely boring track, but relatively good in terms of safety rating.

 

[Greg Carr]

Last season I set a goal of getting my irating above 2000, that didn't happen. So same goal this season, an tonight with a 3rd place finish in the V8SC I am now above 2000! I guess now time to aim for 2500

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Good stuff, Greg. Once you find the magic route, you'll be up soon enough. I jojo'd my way up to 3K iRating and a season later I steadily worked it to 4600. Now I'm back at 3K again, because I stopped practising enough.

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

just made D - don't laugh pls
also bought all the content i need,now just practice to chose the car

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Nothing to laugh about. Getting licenses is a nice challenge for everyone and going up one always feels like an achievement to be reckoned.

Keep up the good spirit, C!

Could someone tell me how to get promoted again. Got out of rookies in both oval and toad but hoe do you progress from there. I assume you can fast track at SR of 4 but my MPR says I'm ready for promotion cos I've done the 4 races and SR is above 3. Is it at the end of the season?

You can fast track out of rookies by increasing your SR above 4.00 or when you are above 3.00, you can wait until the next rookie promotions. Then you will promoted too.
That is in 3 or 4 weeks.

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

After completing your MPR requirements, go for 4.00 on your license, like Niel says.

Rookie promotions only apply to rookie license drivers, so since you're out of that already, it's either fast track or wait untill week 13 is over. I advice fast tracking depending on whether you want to progress quickly or wait a year to get from Rookie to A.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

gonna make A in both street and oval next week, after that hoping to have some events with closer action rather than always having one eye on the sr rating Going to buy the Skip Barber and will do nine events there next season, quali and all, my first real series. This season I also managed to do my first 8 events in one series (Indycar road) so I can pick up a $7 refund when I buy some new stuff for next season. Love the idea of "getting" money by playing games, would be even better if you could cash it in for real, lol

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Go go Eckhart. Good to see you're picking this up. Skip Barber is a great series to get the feel of iRacing and it's a good challenge as a car.

The credit systems is quite interesting as well. I've maxed out every season so far: earning $10 in iR credits. You can pick up $45 credit per year (including anniversary bonus), which will help you getting some of the content for free. I've hardly had to spent actual money on the game since I got to 100% content.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

yep, I limit myself to max. three items each season and if I "earn" money there's room for another one This time round it will be the Skippy, Mid-Ohio and Suzuka, with Texas thrown in as an extra (now what do I need that track for ...)

those marketing guys certainly have me hooked, watch me flip and flop on the shore, gasping for breath

 

[Greg Carr]

After completing the last race of season for me in the Corvette at Road Atlanta I sit currently 1st in division 4 with about a 100 point lead. The 2nd and 3rd place drives need to score about 170-160 to catch me so hopefully that doesn't happen . If all goes well this will be the first series that I have won. I have only participated in 3 series total so I am pretty excited about it!
