You'd think Iracing would market this feature more because it's quite literally game changing

This is such a good change for everyone. Casual/time-restricted players can learn the hard parts of a circuit much faster (so more actual racing time) and serious/pro players can completely fine tune their setups. Hell I just learned enough of VIR in like 20 minutes to podium in my split where previously that would've taken me more than an hour

Another important bit is also being able to do a couple of laps to get tyre temps to race pace, then set your points once they are warmed. Every time you restart that section, tyres are the right temp straight away.

[Jaymes]

It's also just useful for not having to come to a complete stop and reset to pits with cold tires, instantly back on a flying lap with warm tires has been what I have used it for most so far. Pit entry practice is going to be easy now.
I would think it will be really useful for practicing on old tires, being able to reset back to old tires and not having to start over every time.

This has absolutely changed my practice time for the better. I would spend 2-3 hours each Tuesday to learn the new track for my series. Yesterday, I cut that time in half. It’s made it so much fun and frankly it’s how I learned to learn tracks when I race IRL. You learn in segments, not the whole track at a time. Big props to Iracing for making this so user friendly and fully baked.

You’ll get a lot of iracing haters not liking it because. All F1 teams have this feature. Unless you’re a pro and have all the time, unlike “normal “ people who work this helps get more in in less time

[TheChipMcDonald]

I've been asking around for years if real F1 sims had this feature. As a guitar teacher, knowing you must focus on specific things repetitively is really the only way to get good. Sheer repetition pays off. This will change racing.

[lawrencekeating]

I’ve wanted something like this for ages. It used to be frustrating having to run a whole lap and try to remember exactly what you did last time thru that same section. Thanks for the clear explanation Dave. 👍👍

[Guzik]

Some helpful info also from the release notes:
Holding down the Active Reset Run control will apply the Saved Start Point, but then pause the Simulator until you release it, allowing you to adjust your control inputs if desired.

[GEEDOGG]

I've never adjusted brake bias before but l'm looking forward to using this tool for testing brake bias settings for braking zones.

[ChrisUthe]

This is EXTREMELY useful, can't wait for rF2 to get something like this as well. Really useful.

[scritchyscratchy]

Omg! I've been waiting for this forever. I'm so happy I can try hard tracks with way less time. This is even better with fixed series as far as convenience and fairness goes. There was something immersive about having to carefully approach the limit when practicing as to not wreck like in real life but this is far more practical.

[advocatesdevil]

FINALLY. I have been thinking about this every time I practice, there is always that one corner you mess up on and you have to do a full lap to practice, this is going to be so useful

[thewelsho]

Oh wow! This was an option in TOCA 2! You couldn't do the deltas but it allowed you to constantly repeat a difficult corner. It's an absolute game-changer! I remember a long while back, someone started a thread in the iRacing forums, asking users what feature they'd like to see added to the Sim and I described this very option only to be told that something like that would never come to iRacing! Great video, thank you!

[caffeinepowered]

Sometimes, but not always, when you set the "Active Reset Save Start Point" it will also drop a custom sector start point, then where you press the "Active Reset Run" the first time to jump back the end point of the custom sector will be placed. I'm not sure why it's not more consistent with automatically setting up that custom sector, but it's great when it works. And for when it doesn't, there's always the manual custom sector start/end point buttons!

[clawsmayhem]

That is a game changer, I've wanted this for ages. Closest I can recall would be the track learning thing in GTS.

[JSmith]

This will help me get back into racing, as I've been too time poor this year to put in the practice that will give me the confidence I got used to when I did have more time. It will really be a huge help.

[tonyyimbo]

ive been wanting active reset ever since the days of EA skate games allowing to set markers anywhere you want to session. Thought its perfect for racing games !

[Zanaga]

I didn't know about this tool until yesterday. 20 minutes of practice I was already doing a sequence of 2 turns 0.5 seconds faster with the W13, which I just started racing with.

[chriswright]

One of the best innovations for a long time. Has some amazing real world use for drivers too.

[inebium]

I need this so much in ACC! This is the one thing I miss so much in all sims, wasting your time doing an entire lap over and over when you know you are slow on one turn in particular.
