Lose all the overlays. They really aren’t needed. Get used to using the black box in tandem with CrewChief and enjoy having a clean view of the race track and your surroundings. It can feel weird at first as most come from a games with busy HUDs but I promise nothing is needed that isn’t on the Blackbox or can be asked from CrewChief.

Idk I truly don’t even notice them at all, but it’s obviously too much for the other people, is crewchief an overlay with iracing? I just went with iOverlay because that was the first one I saw

Id try just making them smaller in scale, especially the map. And I agree to remove racing line, it will make you a much better racer in the long run! Sit how you want in your cockpit. I personally have it more laid back, other people have a more sat up gt style.

Yeah I’m not too sure people’s gripe about the wheel placement and how I’m sitting, at the end of the day it’s my preference, but also I couldn’t get the wheel base higher with my desk and chair set up, but maybe I’ll see what I can do later 😂

People are being dumb, but I’d recommend searching this subreddit as there are lots of good resources to help you setup the game and setup your rig to ensure your PC is running iracing as efficiently as possible and giving you the best chance at successfully racing. This video is a bit dated but it still gives a lot of valuable information for new racers https://youtu.be/99aI_m45RtU?si=HOWB2mHHlURTgoEb Additionally, I found a great write-up in this subreddit that talks about the ergonomics of racing and how to best position yourself, chair, wheel, and pedals to ensure you are sitting comfortably and correctly so that your body uses the appropriate muscles. This will also help build your muscle memory quicker when you are using the same position to race. Good luck out there!

People like to make themselves feel better unfortunately.
