[@DeMichel93]

"The most dominant car in the hybrid era" is a big statement since it's not W11.

[@thelastsurviver_]

Exactly it's totally false. Nonetheless super pumped! I wish they gave us the W11 because that car would be even more insane

[@axel0w]

yup,W11 was an absolute monster.Give F1 teams 2 years and they won't come any closer to that performance.

When iRacing develops a car that sounds better than the official F1 game, especially from the outside.

Yeah the sounds are fantastic. Just reactivated my account for this bad boy. Put the speakers on loud and just wow! They recorded the every detail in every situation.

And Assetto Corsa modders develop it better than both of them, physics, sounds, and looks wise. And price wise as well. Interesting times we live in.

Missed opportunity for iRacing marketing department to have Max drive the new car to present it

[@enzodeligny17c]

It’s not that simple XD

[@vladimmi]

iRacing marketing department is a one big failure. For example, with this car they "forgot" to mention one thing - it's the first car in sim that cannot be painted. At all. And inability to paint it was announced and enforced only couple of days later, when most people already bought it.

[@evirs]

@@vladimmi It's really not that big of a deal. Obviously if Mercedes worked so closely with iRacing to develop this car, they don't want to see Red Bull or other sponsors on their car.

[@vladimmi]

@@evirs it's not that big of a deal when you do not hide it intentionally until it's mostly sold. Also every manufacturer works with iRacing to some degree according to their own words. Somehow everyone else (including McLaren Honda F1) was OK for more than 10 years.

Now this is something! Almost makes me wanna go back to iRacing, but shame that I would need to buy again all my favorite tracks because of the updates so it would be little bit too much expensive at least for now. But dmn does this make me itchy for racing again :)

[@firespace]

What do you mean buy back all of the tracks? If the track gets updated you have to pay for the update? Do you have a link for that?

[@Anttintarella]

@@firespace Yeah I just renewed my subscription just to see what's cooking, I found out that many of the tracks that I have bought before were rescanned or something and I would have needed to buy them again. I mean I understand why but it still was minor disappointment and turn off. I mean I have spend lots of money for content before so It feels little bit useless to do it again.

[@Anttintarella]

@@firespace just to be clear, I meant all of MY favourite tracks were ones I would've needed to buy again. Not all tracks. But it's a pile of money because I renewed my sub as an intention to buy some new cars and new tracks but when I found out that I need to buy some of the old ones again, I'm not ready to spend that much at one sitting. But to be fair, I have been while away and normally u buy content gradually.

[@firespace]

@@Anttintarella Could you still play the game but just not the tracks you paid for? regardless, asking for more money from you for the same tracks is a shady move by iracing. In a world where legacy upgrades are supposed to be common, to not automatically upgrade you for already being an early adopter/earlier purchaser its def a shady move. For example, I purchased a LOT of movies on iTunes and they were all upgraded to the 4k versions since I already had purchased the highest quality version at the time.

[@Anttintarella]

@@firespace For sure I could! I could drive legacy tracks normally no problem and they still are there. Problem was, for me at least that all the races were at new tracks so legacy tracks were obsolete for me what comes to racing. I kinda understand cause new scans are basically new tracks and expensive to make and scan but still I'm little bit disappointed.
