No races?

[Sin]

Guys I have reached D licence in oval racing (Street Stock), now I would like to go further and buy a car and a track but official races are empty or having 1 registered driver. What should I do in order to play some more oval races on higher level?

It depense on what you want to race later.
If you are more the short oval guy go for the Late Model, since this series is more popluar.
I like the Sk Modified since the races are cleaner compared to the Late Model (at least from my experience) but it can be hard to find races. Usually there are some at 7pm gmt till 3am gmt.
Same goes for the Late Model, most races from 6pm till 3am gmt go offical.
Both are open Setup, so that can be a plus or a minus, depends on if you like to get into setups or just want to race.

There is also the (K&N) National Series. This series races some Short Ovals, Speedways and Superspeedways. If you later want to race the Trucks, xFinity or Sprint Cars this series is the way to go in my opinion. Since its fixed you can focus on your driving and learn how to race at a Speedway.
Out of the 3 the National Series is the most popular, by far. Nearly every race goes offical.

Thanks for answering mate. I look forward to race in Indycar Series, thats why I chose oval racing. I bought the Late Model with Southern National Motorsports Park, and I joined 1 race but everyone left before it began :D I just dont get this system and honestly it discourages me from playing anymore now :/

iRacing can be confusing. It takes some time to understand how the series/Spltis/iRating/Safty Rating and all that stuff works.

How can i forget my favourit series in the world :D
There is nothing in the D-License that prepares one for Indycar, so just try to get your C-License and drive Indycar.

About your race:
To go offical there have to be at least 6 driver. Otherwise the race is unoffical and you don't gain/lose any iRating. You still gain Safty Rating, but not as much as in a offical race.

After checking a few results it looks like the Late Model is very likly to offical at the following time slots (all gmt): 0:15, 2:15, 4:15, 18:15, 20:15, 22:15

I suggest buying the trucks. Once you get to c class it may be in the NASCAR season. Right now most drivers are taking a break. Once the season starts back up there will be 50 to 100 people signed up for them. Especially the national and modified seires

Sounds like 1 of 2 things:

1. The race was "unofficial" meaning not enough people joined to make it count for rankings. When this happens, people generally just quit out and find something else. Generally need either 6 or 8 cars in the race for it to be official. How many were in the race?

2. Or you joined the practice server that it allows you to join before the race server starts. For example, when you register for a race at lets say 8:45pm which starts at 9pm, the button will show up and say "Join Session" This puts you into a seperate server where you can practice some laps beofre the race server starts up at 9pm. There is generally a countdown at the bottom of your screen so you know when the race server is ready. When it reaches zero there will be a "race" button next to the quit button. click on the race button and it will take you to the race server.
