How to Find Your Irating in Iracing

Learn how to find your iRating in iRacing with this short guide for iRacing beginners new to iRacing, see your rating fast, and pick a confident next step.

If opening iRacing felt like stepping into a cockpit with no instructions, you’re in the right place. Many newbies worry they’ve missed something important — finding your iRating is simple once you know where to look. This guide explains how to find your irating in iracing, why it matters, and what to do next.

Quick Answer

Your iRating is shown on your iRacing member profile and on the results pages after races. It’s a number that reflects your performance in sanctioned races and is visible in the iRacing web site, the iRacing client “My Account” area, and in session result screens (about 40–55 words).

how to find your irating in iracing

Open the iRacing website and log in (members.iracing.com).
Click your name (top-right) and select Profile. Your current iRating appears in the summary boxes (Overall or by class).
In the iRacing Simulator, open the Results tab after a race — your updated iRating is listed next to your finishing position.
For series or class-specific iRatings, open the Standings or Series pages to see iRating per series.

These steps work whether you’re an iRacing beginner or coming from another sim. If you’re new to iRacing, think of iRating as a dynamic scoreboard that updates after each sanctioned race.

Why this matters for beginners iRating helps match you with drivers at your level and shows your progress. New to iRacing? Don’t obsess over the number — it’s a tool. Beginners often confuse iRating with license class (rookie/D/C/B/A), but they’re related: license depends on safety and experience, while iRating measures competitive performance.

Common mistakes

Looking only at league or unofficial stats: only sanctioned race results affect iRating. Fix: check official results and your profile.
Confusing safety rating and iRating: safety rating is about clean driving, iRating is about race performance. Track both.
Checking stale pages: if you don’t see an update after a race, refresh the results page or wait a few minutes—updates can take a short time to propagate.

Quick Step-by-Step Practice

Join a short public race in a beginner-friendly series, finish the race, then immediately check your profile on the website to see the iRating change. Repeat to watch how small improvements affect the number.

Quick Pro Tips

Don’t chase iRating by risky moves; safer consistent finishes grow it more reliably.
Check series-specific iRating if you race one car type frequently.
Use the Race Results and Member Profile pages on the iRacing website — they’re the clearest sources.
Keep an eye on the date/time of the last update if a change seems missing.

When to ask for help If your iRating doesn’t update or you can’t find it, ask in beginner-friendly places: the official iRacing support, your league admins, or friendly iRacing Discord communities — they’re full of helpful drivers who were new once, too.

FAQs

Q: Where exactly is iRating on my iRacing profile? A: On the member profile page (website) it’s shown in the summary; simulator race result screens show per-race updates.

Q: Does practice or testing change my iRating? A: No. iRating changes only after sanctioned races (official sessions).

Q: Is iRating the same as license level? A: No. License level depends on safety rating and incidents; iRating measures competitive performance.

Final Takeaways

Finding your iRating is quick: check your profile or post-race results. For iRacing beginners, focus on clean races and learning — the iRating will follow. Next session: join a short race, finish clean, and watch your number move.
