Donington 1938: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/donington-park-grand-prix-circuit-1938.17313/ That braking zone for that hairpin is evil, especially in these old cars. A huge hump into a downhill with a slight bend. A bit too fast, a bit too unsettled when you already need to be braking and away it goes.

I love how the classic Donnington went through that narrow stone arch, and I imagine that concerned drivers would ask "What if you go off track and miss the arch?" and the race director would reply "Yes that would be rather bad, so you're advised to not do anything of that sort." If drivers insisted that it was unsafe, then you'd add a few bales of hay to ensure that complainers would burn faster and suffer an extra crispy death.

Since the Madness Engine and SMS are now at Codemasters, what's the chance of F1 switching over at some point in the future? More importantly, what are the chances Reiza's licence contract includes them giving their improvements back to SMS? I'd love an F1 game that drives like AMS2 does now.

Reiza's deal basically meant they were using the Madness Engine as the base and then forking it into their own thing based on whatever additional functionality they needed. They have no obligation to share anything they've done with EA, someone asked Renato about this on the Reiza forums when EA bought Codemasters.

I've driven entire seasons in F1 games and it was completely different and probably a ton more accurate in iRacing. It's great, also very challenging to manage the hybrid while driving.

I’ve done a ton of iracing in VR and I love it. I’m currently in an F1 2021 league with friends and we race that weekly. I got them hooked up with a free year of iracing and I still can’t get them to commit because “it nickel and dimes you” My brother in Christ you just bought a direct drive wheel to race F1 2021. I can’t argue with them too much though because to race against each other in iracing we need to pay for a dedicated server. Anyway, that’s my long explanation about why I’m excited for VR in F1 2022. I can finally race in VR against friends.

Over the last decade I've spent both far too much on iRacing but also somehow under $200 per year. I spend more than that on one single holiday. e: worked this out, 45 cars, 40 tracks, ~$1300 plus $80 per year sub (some years less with the deep discount offers). That's not even including the multibuy and 40+ discounts. So yeah they nickel and dime you but I'd rather pay that out over years than have to decide I want to blow $500 up front. If they want to talk about real scams: do they buy the F1 games every year? Vando fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Apr 24, 2022 |

I haven't played iRacing in years at this point. But I would like to get back into it eventually when I can justify the cost again. I just really wish they let you play the content you paid for offline. Still, with all the money iRacing costs, at least they are up front about it. Seeing the mention of "Pitcoins" on the F1 games' store pages immediately puts me off. To the point where I never felt like buying any of them. I despise funcoins to the point where I will gladly pay monthly for content if it means I won't have to put up with that poo poo. Alas I'll never ever be able to convince my friends to get iRacing since they would rather pay for funcoins in games that are totally not manipulating you. But.. at the same time iRacing is really trying to have its cake and eat it too with the whole paid content and monthly fee on top. However that discussion has been had to death a million times by now and it won't change.

I spent way too much on IRacing cars and tracks in the honeymoon phase before realizing it really isn't for me. Playing like one out of the three populated series (back when I still played it was like Skippy, GT3 and F3 I think) or having to basically adhere to a league timetable anyway just didn't work out.

Yeah, it's definitely better now there are the long free/cheap intro deals that you can just roll with for months before deciding if it's for you. Back in the day it was 'HAND OVER YOUR MONEY OR PAY  A MONTH TO DRIVE THE SOLSTICE'

I spent less than 2 hours on a real track this weekend and it cost me well over $1k (And I really don't want to calculate how much more for my own sanity). iRacing is cheap.

I'd love to do local track racing / track days. but I own a minivan. Even doing SCCA Solo stuff costs more than iRacing does. I think it's 75 bux at this point for those 4 1 min runs, Plus memebership. My local SCCA has also been reduced to 1 parking lot. it use to be 3 colleges 1 stadium and a now closed Gocart track.

Local track racing in the US every weekend is an $2K investment to win $300. Might be an exaggeration but my local track pays $1000 to win for the modified division. 4 new tires are $250-300 a piece. Unless your a big money team you’re pissing away money. Race fuel is like $13/gallon too. I probably have $2500 invested in iRacing with the peripherals and content I’ve bought, but that’s over 2 years. Some of the local guys I know really well spend a thousand to make a hundred every weekend.

I’d race any of the cars I watch every Saturday in a heartbeat. It’s gotta be a blast. But at the end of every race night when I go back it’s just mind blowing how much of a money pit it is. With just as little as some fender damage, or wheels that are expired because they can only race them so many weeks in a row. I bought a front nerf bar for a friends modified last season, it was $75 which isn’t much but most drivers don’t have friends offering that. The INEX Legends have a tire shortage, so bunch of drivers are looking for them for this Saturday night (opening night). Impossible to find. And they have to come from INEX I think. He promised 200 tires and yeah that’s not happening. There’s gonna be kids out there on unsafe tires trying to win $300.

I still don't think it's super useful to compare the cost to real racing because it's really not the same, it's better to compare it to something like golf or hockey or something for the type of hobby it is.

Also true since you know you're not actually racing. But overall iracing gets you a pretty good product for a decent price. Your paying more for the tracks than you would in AMS but the online experience is well ahead of anything else.

Speaking of throwing money at things, I've been thinking about upgrading from the very basic pedals I have to load cells. I have a T150 wheel with the bundled 2 pedal unit currently. I've always struggled with in game braking and its super frustrating. I did a quick search and the T-LCM seems like a straightforward option. Are those a good option? Is there something else I should look into instead?

Yes. These https://fanatec.com/us-en/pedals/csl-pedals-lc $50 cheaper, and will be as good, probably better than the TM pedals.
