My 24s4 season (and the next ones after it) will be dedicated to reach the highest iRating I'm able to. The best way for me to do so, is not to stick to a car or a series, but to a track. The Nordschleife. Gladfully this track is very popular and even when there wasn't the Ring Meister series, most seasons saw the track being raced about 8 times, with some series going to it regularily (every 2-3 seasons), while others have it every time. That's how I got to my current 5k. And to get the most iRating there's no secret, just win the races. And I can't afford to lose because I didn't practice enough. So my personal schedule will consist of waking up 3h before work to practice the car I'll race the next week, while on the evening I'll race the series of the current week. And repeat. I practice the cars by giving myself 2 days to get used to them, or remember how to drive them if I already did in the past, and to fine tune the setup if the series allows to. Then I'll practice every sector one after the other until I feel satisfied with the time to use as a benchmark for qualifying runs next week. All of that doesn't make me practice actual racing, but it's not really an issue, against most of the drivers I'll get out of reach after a couple corners, if not straight from the start. And the couple ones that will keep up or outpace me will have a similar or higher iRating and know how much they would lose if they try anything silly. So always very respectful and enjoying battles.
