It’s Time I Finally Get Good With The iRacing Arca Car

In this video, DJ Yee-J opens up about struggling with the new ARCA car in iRacing, admitting to losing over a thousand iRating points due to inconsistent finishes and poor racecraft. Determined to improve, he recruits a team of seasoned experts — Thomas, Deemos, and the legendary Larry — to help turn things around. With their combined wisdom, the journey to redemption begins.

• Thomas, a championship-level driver, shares how the setups evolved throughout the season and offers technical advice: trail braking, clean air strategies, tire conservation, and throttle control.
• Deemos breaks down racecraft fundamentals, emphasizing patience, qualifying up front, and understanding the psychology of tire wear and dirty air.
• The creator tests these tips at Texas, finally feeling in control — using draft manipulation, air blocking, and smart entry timing to stay competitive and hold track position.
• A few mistakes late in the race cost him the win, but key lessons about confidence, throttle sensitivity, and tire management solidify the learning experience.

Despite the setback, the video ends on a positive note. The creator proves that progress is possible with the proper coaching and mindset. It’s not a win but a statement — and a clear sign that better results are coming.
