Funny iRacing Vs rF2 comparison
« on: July 24, 2017, 04:39:50 pm »
I came across this video today and thought I would share it. I had subscribed to iRacing for a year and participated in several series before switching over to rF2. I feel this guys pain and understand every point he makes. Enjoy.

 Funny guy,I see you sent him an invitation to VRC,hopefully he gives it a try here.I have Iracing and I agree,it"s BS,if you stop paying the membership fees you can"t use the game,which for me,has cost me over 600.00.Iceracing does have the best tracks though,and I see why the top simracers compete on there for the prizes,but I still think the tire model/Physics is superior in RF2.And with Studio 397 taking over RF2 I believe it will become alot more popular for League racing.I buy almost all the Sim games out there but always prefer RF2 over all the others.

When I was considering what proper sim to get (I only got F1 sim and Dirt series), iRacing was on the list. But the payment scheme scared me off, and I didn’t even know it was that bad for your wallet. So I didn’t even try it out. RF2 was cheaper, had better physics they said, and was apt for endurance racing, had changeable weather, decent realroad… So RF2 it was and after trying the demo, it bought it and never looked back.
But the learning curve with RF2 is really steep, whether it is adapting wheel settings, setting up a car (which I’m still learning after 2 years), finding leagues, tracks….It’s more a diy package that can be adapted to your liking.  And the more time you invest in it, the more rewarding it gets. My next step is also a new pc, with better spec’s, because mine is not really suited. Although I won’t spend the equivalent of 1.800GBP.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is who he is referring to in the video. He calls it iceracing. I think iracing is a joke... They have finally managed to give the cars some reasonable grip, but the tire model is still FUBAR. You're fastest lap will be your first timed lap, and that is because unlike what is normal, where you have to warm your tires up to operating temperature before you can get up to racing speed, at iracing the tires are fastest when they are cold. The warmer you get them the less grip they have, which is not acceptable for the sim that claims to be all that iracing does.

These are the same people that produced the Sierra/Papyrus Nascar sims. In every version of their nascar sim you could run camber maxed out for more straight line speed with zero penalty in tire wear. In iracing, how many years later? You can still do the same thing. That's horse pucky...

I don't even want to go into how much it costs...
