  • @Mahid
    That's funny, I just got iRacing for the first time, searched for a guide and saw this was just uploaded. Great timing :D
  • @DJ_Racing27
    After almost 2 years of avoiding iRacing I finally cracked and bought 2 years. Thanks for the tutorial for a beginner on this platform
  • @mjunior911
    I have over 400 hours in iRacing and still learned a lot, especially about force feedback. I can make sense of what the global Mazda is doing now. Thanks, Suellio!
  • @Czeslaw_cn4tv
    I did rallying irl and work as an instructor for ammateurs. I found your channel, realised I know absolutely nothing about driving, got myself a rig and just won my first race in iracing. I know Assetto Corsa quite well and compete in time attack at a local SIM center and it's insane how much better iracing is. Just sitting in the pits and turning the wheel was like whoa, that's the tyre deforming.
  • @haziiyama6904
    Watching this video has sold me on iRacing, I was a bit apprehensive at first due to costs & the complexity of it all. But your video addressed all of this. You should get royalties on this haha
  • @Hilighted
    Congratulations on your Podium Finish at Laguna Seca today! Awesome, amazing skills! Liked the color way of your race car, you are gold!
  • @ElderTobias
    I signed up for iRacing last night and this cleared up a LOT, instant sub and will be watching your other videos. Thank you for the excellent content!
  • @KurisuKun
    I'm really impressed how organized iRacing is. I think you sold me on it. Also tremendeous effort on your part. Subbed!
  • @ninrod
    Esse guia está maravilhoso, consegui achar informações úteis que nem imaginava em procurar, mesmo tendo visto vários vídeos de outros canais sobre esses assuntos.
  • The “auto” FFB option helped me so much! Now I can actually feel what I should’ve been feeling since I got my wheel. You earned a like out of me. Thank you! 😊
  • @Ins3rtc0ins
    This is the most complete guide ive seen on Iracing ! Good job Suellio , thank you!
  • I watched this video in its entirety my 2cd day. Now I'm around 20+ days in and it's already SO much more clear. One of the best all encompassing beginner guides.
  • @85fastlane
    Fantastic guide. Started in iRacing yesterday after doing in-person VR leagues locally on AC at a sim racing shop for the last 8 months. You have a new subscriber.
  • @Sinistic6
    Wow. This is a beginner guide. But I think even the most experienced are going to get at least one thing out of this they didn't know. And I don't think I've ever seen a guide this detailed. So much background info. Fantastic! I watched your guides on Coach Dave and grown to love the way you explained things. Now coming back to simracing after taking a break I found someone else doing them now. Which made me look you up. And im glad I did. Because man your videos are a blessing. And you're a legend for sharing all this information! Keep up the good work man❤
  • Muito bom o vídeo, fiz a assinatura de 1 ano da steam semana passada, e estava procurando um vídeo completo igual esse, thanks Suelio
  • Thanks for the video. I have always been interested in this and it was extremely helpful. I will definitely be saving this for when I take the plunge.
  • Thanks, Suellio! I’ve been here for over 4 years and I still learned a lot from this video. I wish this existed when I started because iRacing can be pretty intimidating for new players!
  • @donoteatmikezila
    Amazing content. The best guide I've yet seen to show to new racers. The tips about using the Ghost feature and the in-depth setup tips are things missing from most guides.
  • @YorenM
    Thank you for this video man, I'm thankful for you channel!
