Not really because there are far better simulations around than iRacing,

There thousands of people that build stand alone Mods and or Tracks and help convert various Tracks and Vehicles from one Sim to another.
Remember these Mods and Tracks are freely available to the Sim Racing community FREE and they are made with love and passion for accuracy that cannot be matched by mobs like iRacing and SimRaceway where you pay for the content.

Laser scanning is only part of the story, there are many different factor's that give you the feel of various race tracks , BUT I concur Laser scanning does not make the track any more accurate, I have driven on some IRL and then in the sim both laser and non laser, and to be honest I could not detect any difference.

Sau league - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452253-2015-sau-vic-iracing-championship/

Unfortunately there isn't a v8 package. You will have to buy things individually. There are two falcon v8s because one is pre-cotf and the other cotf. Both the falcon and commodore cotf are identical. I haven't seen the prices of the falcons but I imagine the pre-cotf is cheaper seeing as it has been retired.

Have heard that they recently redid the tyre physics model in iRacing, has anyone noticed the slides more controllable and easier to catch in recent updates?

I am thinking about getting back into it and renewing my subscription once I get a new wheel and setup (my g25 died a few weeks ago).

Out of curiosity what hardware are you guys running (wheel, pedals, shifter, button boxes etc)?

They redid the tyre physics not too long ago yeah. It's still not amazing, you can slide the cars a little.. But no drifting. Really depends on the car as well.

I've got a fanatec cswv2, cspv1, th8rs shifter, dsd button box :)

I raced quite a bit, but got sidetracked by Assetto Corsa which has a few drift cars and tracks. I'm relatively decent in the Star Mazda - usually like 2 seconds off the aliens, however that's good enough to win the occasional race when better drivers aren't around XD

I'm slow as shit in the V8s though. Just can't get my head around those vehicles. Understeering shitbuckets.

The Aussie V8's in Assetto and GSC as well as rFactor WILL go exactly where you point them and it is ALL in the Wheel and the actual setup as it applies to the actual car or Mod.

as long as you're on the gas and the rear wheels are slipping

otherwise it's understeer city

there's a huge learning curve with them

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
