I'm new to iRacing having recently joined. In fact, I am totally new to sim racing too having only played more arcadey racing games in the past. I have just invested in a Logitech G25 as my wheel of choice.
I am just curious as to how it works and how to best bump up my score etc. I ran some practice laps of the Mazda Cup around Summit Point to get a feel for it. I have then gone and done a couple of practice sessions to get used to other cars around me. I also just did a time trial where my fastest lap time was a 1:28:3.
However, I am a tad confused by how this all works. I did a time trial and the lap counter stated I did 19 laps. A couple of them were reset after a crash, but most were clean laps, which the time trial criteria stated i needed to do 7 clean laps.
However, coming out of it, my score rating has gone down and when i hover over the "MPR" it still says i need to complete 2 more races and 4 more time trials, even though i just did one.
I am confused as it has docked my score, obviously from recognising i did a time trial, but is then saying i still need to do 4 more time trials, so not recognising it on that front?!?!
I wish there was a SUPER BASIC and user friendly step-by-step 'you need to do this, this and this' type guide fore newcomers!
Thanks in advance for any help!
