[@tommale4935]

As the resident right hand turn enjoyer, I can confirm Mugello is far overdue! It works really well for open wheels and especially works well for multiclass. FIA grade 1 circuits always work the best for multiclass and Mugello is no exception

[@roundtheoutside16]

Mugello is a banger, I'm a road guy and it's one of my favorite tracks, so excited to get it in iRacing

[@strovich]

Thanks for doing this. Long day with the kids so it was nice to be able to lay down and listen to the patch notes rather than skimming through and reading them tonight.

[@Nick_Kearney]

I actually like reading the patch notes for iRacing. They are the most interesting patch notes in the entire gaming industry.

[@fuzzytron]

The way they word the AI updates is the best.

[@duck74UK]

iRacing may be going after those "adaptive pedals" that got revealed (released?) recently, the ones that you just mash to 100% and it handles the input by itself

[@TheCodGorosei]

I was gonna say this.

[@phaedrussocrates7636]

​@@TheCodGoroseioh yeah, that's pc master race in a nutshell 😂

[@asparceproton1]

I'd regard Mugello as an easy A-tier track. Some big elevation changes, handful of blind corners, and good variety of corners.

[@jamesjanik5878]

Seeing as they are doing damafe models for legacy cars, i think it would be cool to have a "legacy series" for oval cars where it just runs a different legacy car each week. Like COT, the old trucks, gen 6 cars

[@JDMcHaley]

🌧 RAINNNN.... Seriously though. It's all I want. Think of the crazy fun 😁

[@leonn1196]

Very good video, thank you!

[@trekkiepro]

Am I seriously the only one who wants dirt AI? Anyone?

[@dillanbaldwin7260]

It's just tough since you have to teach them to run the cushion and run the fast line but it can be done. But where I'd millbridge and micros? We have been waiting on these as long as the rain.

[@vojtechnovacek7776]

Mugello might not provide great racing spectacle with limited overtaking opportunities but it's so satisfying to drive. The amount of high-speed corners make for a thrilling experience. Looking forward to having a race there in SF/F3

[@Jumpboy5100]

I really wish they would work on optimizing the game for modern hardware. Its pretty wild that it only uses 2 (i dont remember the exaxt number) cpu core. Implementing AMDs ai frame gen would be incredible if its possible with 3x screens. Lastly adding some sort of ui to phase out digging in the .ini file.

[@LongFacedBastard]

This would probably require deep rearchitecting of the game engine and so is unlikely to happen in the next 5 years 😅

[@Rya7703]

I'm curious what is this setup improvement for the rookie legends car gonna be?

[@MC_Motorsports]

Eventually Justin we need a full video guide on the new oval racing and how to save tires with it, where to find the lines, etc.

[@andrewmay9927]

F1 on that figure 8 will be more chaotic than just the standard dirt

[@andrewwhite2863]

Slinger will be the fastest short track on Iracing. Until Winchester Speedway gets added.

[@roddyeskew3909]

1:05 I wish they would include the short layout for Mugello that you could run in the old Forzas. It would make the track suitable for slower cars. e: The notes look like they are doing the short layout!

[@wardog5539]

The fastest quarter mile claim for slinger is from when they ran usac sprints there they ended up laying down a 9 second lap which to my knowledge is the fastest lap set on a quarter mile oval

[@simoneghilardini5211]

Mugello is going to be the italian answer to Suzuka. Very technical track, it will be difficult to pass with a race car. More of a MotoGP track, but it's beautiful. Casanova-Savelli-Arrabbiata 1-Arrabbiata 2 will be the best track of the circuit, trust me.

[@pepsibottleq]

Everyone wants rain until they don’t, be careful what you wish for

[@c_berk11]

what webcam do you use?

[@driver8703]

If they get rid of the classic site, how do you watch a friend race from the UI? I haven’t used the UI that much but it’s not the same as the classic site. And the R8 is loooong overdue

[@Obliquity]

hey man first time iracer here, would love to know how to "drive any car/track" when servers are down. a video of that could help us noobs a lot. love to content!

[@MajorWolf72]

There are about 2 dozen vids about that on YT

[@lordjuvenile9068]

The tts bot carries again 🙏🙏🙏

[@raven9057]

TBH im happy the devs havent just pushed the rain (from high demand), they only get one shot at this. It has to be spot on.

[@ndgoliberty]

Mugello was the best track on forza

[@ethanholland8006]

I think a better incident points system would be great because most of the time when I race on Oval when there's a wreck I get thought but someone spins me and I get a 4x

[@maxb4085]

I am surprised they aren't adding in the Lamborghini SC63 LMDh in this update but I guess that will come in Season 2 once it has made its first IMSA race at Sebring

[@mbgmadbull1141]

mugello is nice, slinger is cool. but I WANT THE FREEDOM FACTORY, someone call cletus mcfarland and get on it man

[@tysen_ellison]

Where is a good place to get oval setups?

[@spidey2085]

I believe legacy cars are still being updated due to either AI racing or the future career line for iRacing. Although i wouldn't mind online series' where they are used also

[@Raceeverything]

Looks like we've got more chance of GTA7 coming out before rain

[@devinhudgens7854]

I want the choose cone and stages *NIS only for stages*. It can be done. It’s not hard. Hell the league I’m in does this VERY easily even now.

[@ispeedyy9995]

I would rather iracing fix there tire modle first before they add rain.

[@team1machine1]

My IU won't load any races, I was using it and had to go back to the site

[@iRise2k]

Once again off road is no where to be seen. Hopefully one day we will get a new track

[@tommycook9307]

Gearing up for a new season in a Lotus 79 meme league. We will thoroughly test out the new damage model 😏

[@calebleach4658]

I'm confused i thought millbridge and the 600 sprints were supposed to come out this update guess I was wrong

[@alexjamesbaker]

Holy crap, I just gained 1.25 safety rating to go up to A class on the 300 lap martinsville this week. So I would have went from B class to max A in this new update? That's way too much safety rating gain

[@T_FALCON]

Hopefully when rain happens the safety rating loss is lessened lmao

[@TracksideViews]

Pretty vague on the oval refresh

[@f1sherman52]

IDK why the 358 has to be the last dirt car to get the new damage model :(

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

SO is it out ?? It looks like it is in the sim ? But it says tomorrow ? i got my promotions , wtf is happening why do they make this so complicated ?

[@cptvoid5399]

i keep forgetting to setup my car's paint in iracing ... trading paint has got me spoiled

[@max_donnelly]

Still waiting for Pukekohe….

[@fermillo65]

I'm guessing they really wanted this update to have rain, makes sense with Xmas coming and the little content they had planned. Sad it's been basically delayed

[@lumaseed6490]

You didn’t use the techno track :(

[@OkieDokieSmokie]

Sucks yall are losing the members site but boy was it clunky compared to the UI. It almost felt like opening Combat Arms for the first time

[@BigJessGaming]

Do you think we’ll ever got AI Dirt racing??

[@TheChris1500]

still no millbridge, that sucks

[@Rein54]

Dirt mods will now have tires fall off. Nice. Hope they make body panels fly off

[@Hexadeci]

Automated input sounds like activepedal to me. Could they? Nah

[@sharkk127]

Looking at that ai racing bit annoys me, i just bought that dallara ir01 and after seeing that i couldnt race ai with it pissed me off to all hell

[@BackroadBanditRacing]

Probably the most disappoint S1 patch I've ever seen. Usually it's the biggest and best with all of the new cars, but this is severely lacking. No Corvette GT3. No Mustang GT3, GT4, or Dark Horse R. No updated Ford or Toyota Next Gen bodies. No Lambo GTP. There's so much that's coming out in real life for the beginning of next season but we're not going to have them in iRacing yet.

[@spookytkid]

forget rain Iracing is ice racing as it is and most drivers don't understand good racing enough or care enough to survive the first turn taking everyone out around them.

[@safechameleon7656]

I like the ui but cant find time trials. Only time atack. I havent looked that hard though

[@pierrick1705]

i do watch on 2x speed but the music on 2x speed is not nice...

[@DJYeeJay]

Oh you know that’s a good point hm… I like the music for 1x especially though idk

[@saffaboy2007]

I watch in rewind and it sounds epic.

[@Jt7166]

I gotta be honest, without the rain this is a pretty underwhelming update compared to the last few.

[@DilynHorton]

why new tracks when the already existing ones are soo old they literally aren't even from this or the last decade?

[@cmax889]

10:36 they need to allow for a protest against the Marshalls. I got an off track in f4 yesterday driving down the middle of the track. A 2x on the first lap. I never left the track.

[@TChapman500Gaming]

Not much in the way of fixing their tire model. That's a shame. Because it's the tires that make or brake a physics simulation.

[@Rya7703]

Agree!!

[@MajorWolf72]

They already said that with the release of Tempest the tire model will be reworked and that the had to do that because the old tire model is incompatible with wet track surfaces.

[@mrj3217]

I could care less about the rain, how about they give us realistic flat tires, punctures/slow leaks, flat spots and better tire physics.

[@tommale4935]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ6agGODe9Cgptksi=h_Ipdaxy-Bky5yhw

[@optimalpowersimracing6625]

you could learn how to use the expression "I couldn't care less" and then try again...

[@Daz555Daz]

How much less could you care?

[@Jumpboy5100]

Better tire physics I agree, but I don't think we want slow leaks/punctures with the current netcode/damage. Debris seems to be random whether or not it appears on your screen. then it gets cleared off the track magically. It's not realistic to get a puncture for running over a front wing from the shadow realm. Unless they make debris visually consistent on all drivers screens. If the aforementioned issues were addressed though I would like to see these added. Same with slow leaks or tire failure. In ranked lobbies I would strongly disagree with. Not just tires but other mechanical failures like the engine or brakes. Adding a 1:1000 (just for an example) chance of a race ending failure wouldn't add anything but probably a smashed keyboard or two lol.

[@saffaboy2007]

So you do care then? 😂

[@bubbles1525_]

Iracing is way to expensive for what they offer.

[@krabmagah7822]

I know iracing is a much older and more matured simulator. And i love the hell out of it. But it looks absolutely aweful. The yellow collor tint of the graphics, the lackluster lighting/shadows/textures and overall envirement is quite dated and it shows. I find myself enjoying much more AMS2 and RFactor2 due to the more up to date graphics and engines. I know the iracing engine is limited to a degree as you can only add so much new tech to old game engines. But still. If they could get to the AMS2 or ACC levels of graphics it would bring in a entirely different feel. We would be more immersed. More enthrawled in iracing. As currently it really looks like richard burns rally era of games with some heavy polishing. Its starting to show its age.

[@huntersmith4079]

I hate when iracing puts a fat wallet update. These are my favorites with just one track a car and that’s it. All the rest is to make the service better

[@greentintgaming821]

Slinger is the only interesting thing in this update for the most part in my opinion. Not as good as last years update 1

[@richardellinger2196]

I wish they would improve the cars feeling related to throttle. I don’t care about cars and tracks. The cars don’t drive like real race cars when talking about throttle. And there is no compression with elevation change. It’s a really fun game, but it’s not a sim
