A Basic Guide to iRacing Indycar | Team I5G

I hope you all find this guide helpful! If you've been around the car awhile you may know must of what's here, but if you're brand new to the car I hope this will be very helpful for you. I'll answer as many questions that I can or pass them off to people who may know better than me. Below is some more information that could change in the future so I didn't want to include it in a video meant to be evergreen: The available series to drive the Indycar on iRacing right now includes the Indycar Series (Class B - Open Setups - Mix of oval and road/street courses), Indycar Series - Fixed (Class B - Fixed setup - Follows the open series but with sprint races.), Indycar Series - Oval - Fixed (Class B - Fixed setups - Ovals only), and the INDYCAR iRacing Series (Class C - Open Setups - follows real life Indycar schedule when possible). In May/June, there will also be an open and fixed setup iRacing Indy 500.

As it is written, the Indy car bible.

I’ve avoided indycar forever purely because I was too lazy to try to figure all this out. Thank you!

You didn't have to do this but it's so cool you did. Mad respect.

Thanks for this! Been looking at doing some races this year and this will be a huge help!

This car is the only reason I have a 3k oval iRating. It's just about the only oval car I've used in the last 4 years, and I'm surprised on how much I didn't know. Thank you for this guide.

Exceptional guide, Brendan. Thank you! For so long, much of the setup page has completely mystified me, not to mention the in-car controls such as the fuel maps and weight-jacker. I am no longer Indycar ignorant. Again, sincerely, thank you!

Based on the story from a few streams ago, the mention of no ARB not changing anything is more funny than it should.

I finished my first 500 thanks to this guide. Thank you so much!!

i've been wanting to race indycar more for so long (i think my last indycar race was in 2020), i'm sure this'll help be be more knowledgeable and confident for whenever i return. my biggest fear is fucking up because i don't know what i'm doing and i end up ruining someone else's race

Love to see this, there's a real lack of information out there for people who are trying to learn this car. This is going to be one I'll come back to again and again.

I was so so so hoping for a video like this from you guys! Thank you so much! Very excited to run lots of IndyCar on iracing this season.

Fantastic and extremely detailed guide. I am saving this video for later use!!

Absolutely brilliant video! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. It really makes me want to get into the car and race. 🙂

Thank you for creating this guide. It is really thorough and helpful. The oval driving walkthrough is especially helpful for a full time road racer giving indycar oval racing a try.

Awesome, thank you!

Best tutorial I’ve ever seen on IRacing. Well done and thank you.

It’s here! Cant wait to dig into this over dinner.

Very, very helpful. I learned heaps. Thank you.

ive been waiting for this for so long, thank you brendan
