Dev series.

I'm a hack with the wheel, so wouldn't qualify

Ah yeah, my mate just finished 2nd in the series. I won that series 2 seasons ago. Would have liked to have another shot though, coz it's a lot harder outside the Dev haha

I will not give iRacing HDD space as it is IMHO Shite compared to other racing simulations available especially when you consider your required to buy most of your content.

The way the cars behave is about as believable a a $3 note as well

Just sayin

What other sims are you comparing this to? I haven't tried Iracing, but from all accounts it is reported as having pretty good physics.

Which cars are you talking about?

In the sims I drive, I prefer the older cars that move around more. Maybe that's just because a sliding car has always felt more natural to me from gravel rallying. I'm currently running a historX series in RFactor. The 1970 Camaro was a lot of fun around flowing tracks (like Amaroo, LAkeside, Warwick Farm etc) although it was easy to overheat the tyres with too much sliding.

The Phase 3 Falcon is also lots of fun around Bathurst. When I get into a modern sports / supercar the grip is too foreign to me, and I find the driving style is unrealistic (IMO) to be competitive. I rarely drive anything with lots of grip (won't even touch an open wheel formula car - *yawn*)

iRacing physics do suck balls compared to the newer gen sims

but its still plenty of fun....Its about the racing..not tyre wear.

This ^^

I actually prefer Assetto corsa physics but they need to get their online play sorted. It's still quite a way off compared to where iracing is.

Ah arcade racing then. Glad I didn't waste my money on it.

Bit more to physics than tyre wear.

Showing it's age shit man iRacing was never IN the race, rFactor with the newer mods is still way better than iRacing, it IS that simple.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
