That is so unrealistic. Like it would ever be sunny at Brands Hatch. Video is probably a fake too.

It was a blissfully sunny day on Sept 25th, 2005 when I was last there. :)

[RolexRacer]

It was a joke.

@RolexRacer So was the weather during the rest of my trip (a joke, that is).

iRacing, You guys rock! This looked a LOT more true to life than any other virtual Brands Hatch I've ever seen. But still won't buy iRacing. Sorry! Just too expensive for the little time I have to race =S

I would buy iRacing right now if I could pay only for time spent on servers instead of a fixed monthly fee. I do love a good race sim, but I have a life too ;-) and I don't want to pay a monthly fee if I only race like 4 or 6 nights a month. I'm sure you understand my point =) please reply!

@crosswah being smooth pays off more in some cars than in others-the rookie cars, the legends and solstice series, are very loose because in real life they are very loose. go to a real race in those series, you'll find they race much the same way. also, re: losing the back end easily...if racing was easy, i'd be in daytona this week

[iRacingTV]

I've stood on the exit of the turn and seen them do it every lap. :)

because in entry level cars that is the fastest way to go around the track, but not in something like a radical sr8

Track looks good, just a shame i don't really like iracing. Tried Iracing for a while but was not convinced as to the accuracy level of the physics. Every race I had the fastest on track would be sliding the car around like he was on a rally stage....do that in real life and your at the back. The cars also seemed to lose the back end too easily for my liking. Being smooth in real life pays off but on iracing you need to break the basics of driving quickly in real life to get near the top

That's true, but it's still not part of the track surface, it's part of the run off area, else everyone would use it. I'm pretty sure the Clerk Of the Course would black flag you for using it too many times during the race.
