Below are the motion profiles for iRacing split into General, Road, Oval, and Dirt categories. These motion profiles have all been updated as of 1/18/2022 to include new split Max Telemetries for Surge Accel and Decel, updated Surge Accel Effect Slider settings, improved Gear Smoothing Factor settings, increased Roll Max Telemetry, adjusted Max Telemetries due to Smoothing Effects, and various other minor changes to improve the overall motion.

Platform Tuning
This motion profile was created on a PT Actuator 6DOF Simracing Platform (150mm: 7 Actuators (2 Front + 2 Rear + 2 TL + Surge). Since all motion platforms can be slightly different, please use the guidance below or utilize the quick tuning guide here for quick adjustments or the full guide here for detailed tuning information.
4 Vertical Actuator Tuning
Sway, Surge, and Traction Loss is converted into pitch or roll for platforms that do not have horizontal actuators. Since these motion profiles were created on a platform with horizontal actuators, the tuning(s) could result in excessive pitch or roll on platforms without horizontal actuators. IMPORTANT: For an axis that does not have a dedicated horizontal actuator, it might be necessary to reduce the Effect Slider for Lat G Sway, Long G Surge Accel and Long G Surge Decel, or Traction Loss by 60% to mitigate excessive movement. For example:
If no Sway actuators, reduce the Sway Effect Slider from 14 to 6.
If no Surge actuator, reduce the Long G Surge Accel/Decel Effect Slider from 16 to 6.
If no Traction Loss actuator, reduce the Traction Loss Effect Slider from 18 to 7.
Actuator Size and Mounting
These motion profiles were created on a platform with 150mm actuators with the Front to Rear Vertical Actuator spacing at 1290mm and the Left to Right Vertical Actuator spacing at 745mm. Actuators placed closer together or are larger than 150mm will increase the angle of pitch and roll. To mitigate the increase of motion if needed, reduce the Effect Slider for the impacted effects or reduce the Max Angle.
MDBOX Tuning
Due to built in smoothing effects for MDBOX, it may be necessary to reduce the Effect Smoothing by 50%. Surge, Sway, and Traction Loss may require Effect Smoothing to be removed completely.
Max Angle
These motion profiles have balanced to allow for the increase of Max Angle and Max Horizontal to 100 (unless noted otherwise). This will allow for the maximum movement capabilities of the vertical actuators. However, if less motion is desired, reduction of the Max Angle will reduce overall motion while still retaining the balanced effects.
Reverse Surge
These motion profiles were created with the surge actuator reversed. This will cause the platform to move forward when accelerating and backwards when decelerating. To reverse the surge actuator, please follow the tutorial here.
Auto Smoothing Low Speed
If pit stops or hard braking to a complete stop are too jarring, enable Auto Smoothing Low Speed. These motion profiles were tuned to not require Auto Smoothing Low Speed. Review the Auto Smoothing Low Speed section in the SRS Motion Tuning Guide here on how to enable.

Full update complete for all iRacing motion profiles as of January 18th. If previous settings are required, use the motion profile notes to re-adjust to the older tuning. Videos may be updated in the future, but changes in motion might not be visually seen. Let me know if anyone has feedback. Thanks!
Hi Jeff,
I have a question regarding the Radical SR8 setting. Overall it feels just great. I have a PT Actuator 6DOF with a SIM-LAB P1-X on top of it, so similar to your setup. However, I have one question: acceleration and deceleration feel great, but shifting breaks my neck 😂. I have never driven a Radical but I don’t think that these pushes are realistic. Any ideal how to reduce the shifting pushes without loosing the nice acceleration and deceleration feeling?
