[nitpicking mode]The car coming out of the pits at the start is not in the game video so it is not 100% accurate.[/nitpicking mode]

It appeared the gearing from the real car to the iracing car was quite a bit different. Much different shifting points down the straights.

The iRacing car seems to be swinging much wider in the corners and making many more steering wheel corrections to keep up with the real one. I tried same car and track and wonder if the grip levels are a little low. Or does the game just not duplicate tire modeling very well? Which seems to be every driving sim's weakness. Other then that the game is a brilliant Simulator.

In this case, it is just a different line. The real-world video was sped up for this comparison as I could not get permission from anything with a closer time to the real-world lap record that I could get in the simulation........

..........The more flowing lines driven in the sim are obviously faster, the real-world car is probably going a lot slower in the turns and consequently is not using all the track to keep momentum.
Obviously we have tried to get properly matching laps where we could, but with VIR it really wasn't that easy!

The details of the handling still seem kinda different. Watch one video at a time then watch the other and you can tell, so I'm sure the physics aren't absolutely perfect. I'll be trying it this weekend though, maybe I'll understand what all the hype is about then :p
SparkySubie 2 years ago
You can watch two different real-world videos on Youtube of the same car and track combination and if they have different drivers, they do look like different cars. It isn't that surprising that one driver can be making a car handle differently because, after all, they can modify both the setup and their own driving.

Just needs moving hands and head for the replay, now it looks like the driver is in a coma.
