I'm an avid iRacer having switched from Gran Turismo and ACC a couple years ago and I miss GT7/GTSport, especially the lobbies of just logging in and online racing without worrying about my rating.... got rid of my old T-GT too.... 😞 What I've realized is that 99.99% of us will never touch a real racecar so it doesn't matter which sim we play. The most important thing is we just need to have fun doing what we love. i have high hopes for lobbies in AC Evo to bring back the glory days 🙏 🏎 🏎 🏎

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah I hear you man. GT is definitely more ‘fun’ to just pick up and play.

[@bakerzinho]

"Experience the most authentic motorsport racing game on your PC" GAME!!

[@RRT_NightShifter1]

iRacing is probably the most realistic sim going as we speak. I had a 3 month subscription when Ii purchased something. But it's the monthly subscription just for the basic content that I don't like. Having DLC is one thing, but paying for pretty much all cars and tracks doesn't gel with me.

[@bakerfx4968]

I hate that everything is subscription based. Just a reminder you’re renting the ability to play and don’t actually own anything you’ve spent the money on

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah the subscription model is what puts a lot of people off.

[@markpacker6951]

I like how gt7 is referred to as a simcade. In reality, it was the first sim racing game. Every modern sim racing game has been modled off of it.

[@benjaminduncan4286]

Because it is, most definitely arcade to acc , iracing and other sims

[@heinous70]

I have a theory that the people that like to throw that arcade terminology around, have never actually played an arcade game, or been in an arcade. It was the first. I remember that distinctly. What these guys don't realize, is that they likely wouldn't have the software they do love, if it weren't for Gran turismo. I remember when I racing was first released. The only people that could afford to have it, were in fact the real race car drivers using it for practice. That's where it started

[@benjaminduncan4286]

@heinous70 that's right, but other racing games evolved into real simulators, braking, steering, grip/traction etc..gran turismo didn't, it's a beautiful game, not a simulator. So yeah, you could call it arcardy for sure.

[@AndrewPeddie]

The first sim racing game was Revs and it was released in 1985. Microprose and Papyrus where also releasing sim racing games long before Gran Turismo 1 was released.

[@Jack-i6y6p]

​@benjaminduncan4286 the physics are based off of Michelin Tires and they get their data from car companies what are you talking about it's a Sim like iRacing

[@bakerzinho]

"Discover the Ultimate Online Racing Game" GAME!!!

[@Nelson_.A]

I haven't tried iRacing, I've only got GT7 and ACC. For me it's just the money, looking at iRacing it's going to cost me at least $1k to get the all the cars and tracks that I want. Which is crazy for a game or sim. Compare that to what I've paid $60 for GT and same for ACC.

[@17peteclarke]

you don't collect cars in iracing like you would in gran turismo

[@voongnz]

you don't need to buy all the cars and tracks, and honestly you shouldn't. there are some unpopulated series and cars that you wont ever be using. you can honestly play with just the base game for years and not get too bored. you can get by your career with just a few cars whether you go the formula route or sports car route and get the tracks that are most common and populated and be done.

[@BOKtober]

Mastering just 2 or 3 cars and 5-10 tracks will take you months of not years

[@Felipe.8586]

I play ACC, I Racing and I can say that GT7 with VR2 is the most immersive experience you can get

[@heinous70]

I recently pointed out that what kept me away from pc, was the fact that I could decide to turn on GT7, and literally be on a track racing in about 40 to 45 seconds, and that included a trip to the refrigerator while the software itself was loading. It struck a nerve 😂

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah you can’t beat GT7 for pick up and play 👍🏻

[@17peteclarke]

well the thing is, different cars behave differently with regards to tyres in iracing. in gran turismo, a car that's 90 years old has the same abs and tc system as a brand new car lol. also, yeah you do have to think about fuel consumption, which leads to development of strategies along with tyres. in gran turismo, you can't adjust how much fuel you have at all, even in quali laps, which isn't really quali tbh it's just hotlapping and reseting until you put enough hours in to get the perfect lap

[@Doughtinator]

All very true 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

Nice one Chris, holding our end up mightily, 💪. GT7 does it enough for me, you said it more or less at the end. Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🏎✅️

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks Julian 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bakerzinho]

Hate when people, specially the fanboys/girls confuse simulator with simulation, you can even play it with game pad... Amazing simulator...

[@bakerzinho]

Kevin Bobbitt is the Director of Marketing at iRacing. "I guess I’ll change my answer for iRacing and call it both a simulation AND a game!"

[@Doughtinator]

For what it’s worth. Over 10 years ago. I won an MX5 rookies race with a game controller on iRacing 😳

[@dhjet2000]

I just started on the 1st of Oct. I cannot figure iracing out AT ALL!!! GT is soo much easier

[@keeef23]

It’s like that for everyone, It becomes easier! Keep at it you won’t be disappointed 👍🏼

[@Doughtinator]

It’s very true that investing time into learning is rewarding.

[@andsoitwas3046]

You did AMAZING for being your first time. iRacing is probably the best simulation engine (although, GT7 isn't fully activated on PS5 due to hardware limitations) but I hate the graphics and subscription model so I stay away from it.

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man. Technically not my first go at iRacing. But it was 10 years since I last played 😳🤣

[@keeef23]

You can run totally fixed setup races and don’t need to worry about anything just jump on and drive

[@Doughtinator]

Very true. The fixed setup series do help 👍🏻

[@piotrekf943]

I thougt you played Gran Turismo 1 for a moment

[@Doughtinator]

PS1 graphics 😳🤣

[@vicar19]

Interesting video man.

[@Doughtinator]

Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tatsnneeps341]

Gt7 with ps5 using psvr2... goodbye iracing... 😂😂

[@Doughtinator]

PSVR2 is pretty epic 👍🏻

[@geoffreybees]

What sim gear do you use mate?

[@Doughtinator]

I use the MOZA R5 bundle. GT OMEGA Classic wheel stand. Rear frame and RS6 seat. Should be some links in the description 👍🏻👍🏻

[@skltr21]

so i started sim racing on GT7. about a year and a half into my sim racing journey I got iRacing. I LOVE iRacing, BUT...... I hate the wheel to wheel sanctioned racing. It's way too serious. That's the single biggest drawback for me with iRacing. However.... the single player stuff in iRacing is fantastic. It's pretty much all I use it for. But for racing, I much prefer GT7. I just got the new psvr2 pc adapter and man....... iRacing in VR is PHENOMENAL! It's all I want to do now lol.

[@Doughtinator]

Yeah some of the iRacing online stuff can be a bit serious. GT7 is a great first step into sim racing 👍🏻

[@musicforever154]

Incredibly boring to watch and looks even more tedious to play those who stayed loyal to the game that made them successful streamers seem to be revelling in subs increase and those who obviously think like mythic + players on Warcraft need to rethink their beginnings

[@Doughtinator]

I hear you man. There is a lot of excitement from driving the car on the edge. But I don’t think that’s translates to the viewer 👍🏻
