What I’d like to hear next is how Lando compares “commercial” simulation games like iRacing and rFactor to the actual McLaren simulator.

As mentioned above, there are teenagers driving in F1…

While there is a truckload of racing games offering you all sorts of functions you might need to race your friends, there are only a few having the right physics, cars, tracks and, above all, reliability currently in the domain of online gaming. I’ve driven rally cars. Developed as a centralized racing and competition service, iRacing organizes, hosts and officiates Gamers looking for an unparalleled eSport driving experience will be right at home with iRacing. The second one was a bit better, as it actually was a tiny step into a more realistic direction.How many times would your patience last trying to use a product that time after time fails again? But the combination of iRacing’s realism and Podium eSports’ professional quality broadcast was an excellent simulacrum — a “replacement” race in nearly every ... Veloce Esports / F1 2019. 2019 F1 season. Pretty wild stuff.For me was quite the contrary,(I haven’t driven a race car so im comparing games), gran turismo I slide less than iracing, I tried the miata and was trying to kill me in every corner, like similar behaviour you would expect from dodge viper… the best feeling I got with wheels is assetto Corsa after tires reach the working temp. Kvyat: Hockenheim podium last year was “my biggest achievement” so far; How the FIA’s new encrypted fuel flow meter targets Ferrari’s suspected ‘aliasing’ trick “He smashed my office door”: 23 must-see moments from ‘Drive to … In all of these test, Assetto Corsa being the most similar in almost every test adding to the fact they are track scanned. They have been fun to watch. You can catch almost any slide and not crash. It’s more like a simulator in terms of how it feels through the wheel, the set-up changes and stuff.“Whereas F1, Gran Turismo – especially Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo is terrible, it feels nothing like a car, you just slide everywhere. You can just buy the Codemasters games & have the full package while iRacing is a subscription model where you need to buy each car/circuit individually depending on what you want to race which again limits it’s appeal as not everyone wants to spend as much as may be necessary.It’s also interesting what he says about Gran Turismo given how I know drivers who play that & believe it’s one of the better console ‘simulators’ as far as the handling feel goes. It’s not about the game. In the past, it seems the best selling version of that game – F1 2015 – managed to sell about 1 million copies, but that was an exception: most of their other games didn’t even crack 400,000 copies, and even 350,000 was something of a stretch. The wheelspin is so bad, that it affect all the other test.

I’m not a big online gamer (Outside of some shooters) so i’m usually just racing offline against ai or hot-lapping & for that I have a lot of fun in the F1 Games.I do also play some of the more sim oriented titles on PC (Automobilista, Assetto Corsa etc…) but while i’ve tried iRacing in the past i’ve never really got much out of it as it’s way too serious for what i’m looking for. It took decades to get where we are now. As for simracing, Leclerc and Russell have just said they were sweating like pigs during the last race, and said it’s possibly even more intense than the real thing, so you still have to be pretty trained and the top simracers are mostly fit.Similarly, if you go to the direct drive wheels that are out there, they are pretty powerful and can require a lot of physical effort.

F1 2019 isn’t suited for this at all.And I like that game but its not something I would use for this type of event thats supposed to replace actual racing with real F1 drivers.Very true, sad that F1 chose Codemasters for their F1 game. Which is valid. That’s not an issue if you have the time… I Codemasters needs the F1 games to appeal to the broadest audience possible, most of which have absolutely no idea what it feels like to drive a car, let alone drive a car fast.Finally one of the F1 drivers have come out and said that F1’s current sim is just an arcade game.But interesting to hear even iRacing is not really close to the real thing.I really wish F1 could embrace iRacing and help them develop something that’s close to how a real F1 car feels like and behaves.
