Discussing all things Sim Racing

I'm mainly a Sim racer for endurance events and was curious how many others there are out there that mainly focus on these events. I find shorter sprints a little too punishing in that one mistake/incident can cost you the entire race whereas enduros can be a little more forgiving.

I find personally a lot of satisfaction in doing the strategy as I'm not necessarily the fastest driver, but it can come up with some good strategies to find time over a long race.

What about anyone else? Curious to hear about your experiences and opinions!

That;s definitely a good point! The shorter races do help you improve on those factors.

I find a tool like CrewChief really helps with your spatial awareness if you've not used that. The spotter call outs I find are much better than those in both iRacing and ACC. Being able to plug into other sims as well is a huge bonus! The coaching and other stuff is a great boon as well.

For strategy, I use a spreadsheet and just have it do most of the math for me haha. And as for setups... there are some great guides out there on what to change to try and improve things, it's a big learning process though!

Good luck on your improvement journey! It's definitely one that takes a huge amount of time. Trail braking took ages for me to wrap my head around and even then it's still something that I'm trying to work on!
