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

    • Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
    • On sale mate, $55. Sorted. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-torque-wrench-1-2-drive/565734.html?utm_content=paidsearch-pmax&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwytS-BhCKARIsAMGJyzqYEnwWmhWf6gxTST_Nz06Gd2VePgyvL7lh6PWrQtbjXTsI6TqSCLEaAuaCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
    • Slap it and say it ain't going no where, you'll be fine.
    • So the whole rb25de neo setup was a tiptronic setup and i swapped everything over to my rb20de neo setup and yes even the cluster of the rb25 was swapped over.
