OK, I'm impressed. The game looks really good, especially the in-car shots, though the physics is kind of a giveaway. Also, some of those nerds drove really well. I was expecting more rubbin' for sure. Actually even the commentary was way better than I'd expect.

Are these all just spoiled rich kids with sim rigs at home and lots of time on their hands? I know racing is an expensive hobby, but it would be nice to see some "underdog" type kids at these events, playing on an older PC without a top of the line pedal setup, etc.

Wheels aren't that expensive dude, about the same as a console. Just save up and anybody can get a passable wheel.

But nobody in esports finals is gonna have a cheap rig, there's money on the line and some of them might even have sponsors. Lots of kids with poo poo rigs play online though :shrug:

Yeah, I guess a wheel and pedals are relatively affordable if you've got a cutting edge gaming PC, which is what I assume you'd need to run this game. Kust saying it would be cool to see some poor kid in there mixing poo poo up. P-166 overclocked, running in 640 x 480 at "extreme low detail", all options "off".

Not f1 cars specifically because of licensing but they used to have formula cars that had pretty much the same specs as the f1 cars of the time.

GT Sport has no f1 or formula cars however.

So Toro Rosso's #1 target is Brendan Hartley for Austin with an eye of signing him up for Toro Rosso next season. If Hartley's deal falls through because of contract issues (he's on the verge of signing up for Chip Ganassi in IndyCar) then they'll throw Buemi in the car for Austin instead.

Also.... what the gently caress is this?

https://www.motorsport.com/general/news/eu-directive-close-down-motorsport-964469/

quote:

Motorsport could cease in the European Union amid an insurance crisis unless the sport's businesses and employees reply to an EU consultation by October 20, according to the UK’s Motorsport Industry Association.

The consultation is into the VNUK ruling – which applies to all 27 EU member states – and was made by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in September 2014. It requires compulsory unlimited third-party liability insurance to be carried by anyone using any form of motorised transport, in any location.

That includes everything from ride-on lawnmowers and tractors to single-seater and saloon competition vehicles – even at private venues like race circuits – throughout the EU.

This means crashes in motorsport events would be treated as road traffic accidents, and would involve the police as would any road traffic collision.

Chris Aylett, chief executive officer of the MIA, is calling on any employer or business in European motorsport to respond to the EU Consultation and has provided guidelines to help them do so.

“This threat is real, make no mistake, it could close down all motorsport [in countries in the EU],” said Aylett.

“My appeal will safeguard jobs and the industry. If you want to protect your job in motorsport then make sure your employer responds before the deadline of October 20.

“The EU offers an option, known as Option 3, where their insurance requirement applies ‘in traffic only’. If we succeed in getting this option supported then motorsport will be safe.”

For the more information on the MIA’s call to action visit: the-mia.com/Vnuk-Update. The consultation can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/consultations/finance-2017-motor-insurance_en.

You can get a wheel for less than $300. If racing is important to you, that's not outrageous by any means.

Actually getting into motorsports is going to cost like a factor of 10-100 more than that.

Context matters dude. Did you even read the rest of my post or did you just giggle to yourself when you found something you could take out of context?

From my experience most sim racers actually have poo poo PCs and are running on min settings already so that its every bit as responsive as possible. (Like pro counterstrike players) I avoided iRacing for awhile because I thought it had terrible sim graphics, but it ends up it has graphics almost as good as pcars or forza you just have to turn them on. But since literally every video from someone on youtube playing iracing is at min settings, I didn't even realize it could look good.

The people who are broadcasting it are using a very powerful PC on max settings, because why not? That doesn't mean everybody playing is on the same settings.
