iRacing: Best Sound Settings. A simple free upgrade.
I today's video we talk about the best sound settings for iRacing, enabling you to hear more from the tyres and drive faster and more consistently as a result. Simply adjusting the sound settings will let you hear what the tyres are doing and help you to avoid spins, crashes and finish more races with better results.
This was one tip I was given when I first started out in iRacing and it was a gamechanger helping me to make to move from real cars to sim with a lot more ease.
