iRacing Week 13 is Here Again

Every season, iRacing gives its members an opportunity to advance to the next license level. They call it “Week 13.” It’s some sort of black hole between seasons. True to its number, it is bad luck for some of the racers who choose to participate in it. But for some, it’s a time of safe races with good finishes and maybe even a license promotion.

Old School Racing Motorsports will attempt to provide iRacing setups for the 13^th Week Street Stock Challenge. You can  look at our usual iRacing setups pages and probably find what you need. Here’s the rundown for 2020 Season 4 Week 13.

My advice for iRacing Week 13:

1. Run league races.
2. Run the unofficial series.
3. Run hosted races.
4. Get ready for next season.

In other words, steer clear of anything that involves safety rating and iRating. I always had terrible luck, but your mileage may vary. Whatever you decide to do, have fun doing it!
