Whats happened I cant find races to get MPR

[Nick Brooke]

Well i been away a couple of weeks but after the update i can no longer find any series for rookie in Ovals that gives me any MPR or SR. i have raced in 5 events all of which i had clean races and still nothing but ---------- in the place where SR ect should be. Looking at it i dont see one single Legends race only Carb cup which i appear not to be able to get points for.

It's week 13. Races that count are few and far between. The Street Stock races at Charlotte may count?

 

[Joe Hubbard]

During week 13 between the seasons they have things like Week 13 street stock challenge or the Mazda cup thing... However and I say this VERY seriously, if you worry about your SR iRating do not get in these races!!! I dont know what it is about them but I guess it's like a "fool" moon or something for iRacing...hahaha I have only had one clean race during a week 13 and every other time I have ran a race during week 13 has been just stupid.

**edit** sorry Eric we must have been typing at the same time...

Thanks guys, I raced in one just now and got 3rd my best result so far in ovals but i wanted to get to 3.0 to get promotion but i doubt im gonna do that lol. Your right dirty driving and then some one race a guy was going backwards

Don't bother racing in week 13, unless your iRating is high enough to keep you away from all of the wreckers. You're better off running a load of qualy sessions to gain some SR. Or just wait for the start of the next season.

 

[Yoeri Gijsen]

Week 13 is good for iRating if you're interested. If you're focussing on SR you should run away and hide out of sight until the week is over.

 

[Nick Brooke]

Well what can i say, sr got to 2.85 now back to 2.53 lol. wreakers are us out there you guys are totaly right. I had no chance to play iracing for 2 weeks so i couldnt resist lol

I should say the above posts are spot on, because races sure have gotten nasty this week. BUT, after a slight phase of "one step forward, two steps back", I took my Oval SR from a 3.50 to a 4.60 in 2 days (~18 races). I've been starting in the back (usually by iRating, sometimes with a pace lap pit stop) and while I don't race for wins, I still do get to race hard enough to be fun. You just have to be on your toes, and wait the first 1/5 of the race for things to sort out before pushing up the field. It's definately hairy, but it can be done.

P.S. - Map a "Mute Driver" button to your wheel. You're going to need it :wink:

Yeah, Week 13 is an SR nightmare. I have managed to recover my iRating somewhat after some not-stellar runs late last season, though, so that's good. It's also the first time I've ever run MX-5's on the Charlotte Road Course, which was pretty fun.

Lots and lots of 4x incidents, though, even when the other guy isn't trying to wreck you. The irony is that I don't get why everyone's so pushy in Week 13.

I got lucky last night, and hoped on to do an MX5 race. Managed to get my clean race award from it

Was a really good race too, with about 20 people on the server.

hahahahaha, i sussed how to do it. my sr got below 2 and i was mighty fed up so i thought id try another tactic. i waited in the pits for 4 laps and then came out giving the crashers enough time to wreck. i had loads of 3rds and 4th places cause they were all in the pits so long. anyway i got enough for my promotion and got the hell out of dodge
