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

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
