Rookie license = there will be a crash in the first or second corner about 90% of the time.

example. Second corner! 0 laps of 40.
4 'bumps me'. I fly into 2. Notice two other cars in the background eating wall.




8 and 2 are cartwheeling through track hitting another car. 2 actually bounced off outer guardrail and bounce around to crew pit.



Just another day in the iracing with rookie license.

Yeah, I just started and it's much harder than I thought it would be. Online racing is actually very doable.




Another day another race. #6 has a odd racing line and doesn't stick to inside.



He hits #10 and looses control.


Into the wall.


#1 decides to extend his raceline past the guardrail. Guardrail disagreed.

He is out of control. #8 (me) is trying to predict what's about to happen.

#1 eats inside wall and bounced off to the middle of a track.

Where #8 is trying to squeeze outside.

Squeeze failed. #1 goes over me, and I somehow manage to continue race.

One contract (not my fault) and I lost .04 points in one instance. End result of a race I gained .02 to my license(usually it's .07-.09)

One more. Event log.



#6, already slightly damaged, takes the corner.



In the corner, he starts wobble. Almost looses control.



Pink car rear end him hard (so to speak)

That sends #6 into a wall.


#6 bounces off the wall and hits pink car.

Pink hits #3 and launches him over guardrail.

#2 is confused as where to go

and hits #6

#1 manages to go though without hitting anyone. I'm in the corner slowly passing mayhem and continuing race. No crashes +.7 score. 3rd place

Damage is there and visually it's represented by few scratches and such. Physically it's there also.
I hit a wall lightly and for rest of a race I -2 seconds a lap (usually lap is 17 seconds in this track) and driving became highly difficult.

So far this is most difficult sim I tried. GTR2 is close.
