iRacing 2018 Season 3 Patch 3 Release Notes Highlights

There’s really only one thing of interest in this mid-season iRacing patch: the ability for session admins to switch to a single file restart. I set my sessions up to always use single file restarts because double file restarts are stupid, but this is another option to use for those who like to choose the type of restart at the last minute.

The command works like this:

Thrustmaster T300RS GT Steering Wheel & Pedal Set

The T300 is a proven mid-range wheel with smooth belt-driven force feedback and a responsive brushless motor for clear track feel. An 11-inch leather wheel, solid three-pedal GT set, and PS5, PS4, and PC compatibility give racers the precision to brake later, hold tighter lines, and improve lap after lap.

!restart single

or

!restart double

Since the command can only be used if you set your session up with double file restarts by default, there probably won’t be a lot of use for

!restart double

I suppose if you switch to single file restart then change your mind, you can use the command to go back to a double file restart.

Logitech G923 Racing Wheel & Pedals

One of the most popular entry-to-mid level sim racing wheels available today. The G923 delivers strong TRUEFORCE feedback up to 1000 Hz that lets you feel the road with refreshing clarity, a responsive brake pedal with progressive spring, and a solid set of pedals built for consistent control. It includes a programmable dual-clutch launch system for cleaner starts, a genuine leather-wrapped wheel, and straightforward compatibility with PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

As stated above, you can only use this command if you configure your session for double file restarts.

You can change the restart type before you get one to go. After the leader gets one to go, the restart type is locked and no change is allowed.

When a caution is thrown, race control will report to the admin what type of restart is upcoming.

You can also issue this command from the right-click popup menu.

This is a pretty good command, but it’s best to simply set your session to use single file restarts.
