At Double Gauche your entry and exit speeds are nearly identical to within ~2kph of each other in all the sims and on-board, with the exception of the onboard with Michelin tyres. That's really quite impressive.

That Michelin lap was insane. I’ve never come close to entering Pouhon like that again. It’s the one part of the lap I remember so clearly. I remember thinking “I’m just going to send it, I have the grip” and boooom... one of the best feelings in a race car in my life.

[@jcarmolp]

Onboard yes amazing. I love ACC, but externally the mixing is awful. During replays or even the chase cams the cars are quiter than in the cockpit. This was the same with AC. It's one of the silliest oversights and bugs the hell out of me.

[@Twongo]

This is a weird statement considering the video above. Listen at 4:50 then 2:30 then 4:50 then 11:45 . How does the phasing in ACC not drive you crazy? The lack of drive train stress? The lack of transmission whine?

[@thetrainshop]

@@Twongo overall the balance of sound is different. The onboard is a lot more heavy on the mid and lows, where in ACC it's more engine/exhaust note coming through. I've never been in the real car so I wouldn't know where to set the stuff for equalization.

[@jcarmolp]

Twongo This is an invalid argument due to the fact that you're assuming that audio from a crappy (or even good) on board mic sounds like real life. It doesn't. It's the same argument people use when they compare graphics to onboard video and say it's realistic. It's not. It looks and sounds like a recording of real life but we aren't trying to simulate recordings. We're trying to simulate reality to the naked eye, ear and touch. Now I'm not say ACC nailed it on sound because I don't think they did, they merely made the interior sounds seem convincing enough, more so than other Sims except maybe Raceroom. External sounds IMO are still very poor.

The handling in GT Sport is a bit more binary than say ACC but I still think they do a good job.

GT Sport looks like what real life looks through the lens of a GoPro not what real life actually looks like. One thing I'll give it is the sense of depth is great. ACC by default like AC is too saturated, I turn saturation down to 80% and the pallette looks much better. Another thing is everyone judging graphic fidelity from a compressed KZbin video is silly. The sharpest and more detailed game will always suffer most. I'm interested to know what settings are being run for ACC and iRacing. Love your content David, keep it up!

If only GT sport had the audio and sound effects of ACC, that’s always been my biggest and only gripe on the game.

[@ertugrulbae46]

The background sounds in ACC are over-done and far more pronounced than they should be. Makes it sound like the car is bolted by a 12 year old that can't even hold a spanner. And the sound in general is way too loud and exaggerated. Ironically it gives a more arcade feel sound than a sim sound. GT sport missing some background sounds but the quality is there as it replicates sound from the cockpit

Pirrelis have grip till they dont once the traction goes it's gone on them. The Michelin kinda tapers off when it starts to lose traction rather then just disappear. This is what I have found when I went to the ron fellows Corvette driving school.

Depends on the compound. The Michelins I used had more grip for a single lap and longer tire life but this depends on the model of tire you're using from the supplier.

Hi David, I think the idea of the video is fantastic. After all, this is the question on every simracer's mind: How close is the sim to what it's like to driving racecars in reality? You're certainly in a great position to answer that question. I have to say, I was hoping for a little bit more than a string of on board laps. Sure, comparing the visual appearance off the track is nice, but I would love to hear from you, what the actual differences are on a corner-by-corner-basis and which sim comes closest to feeling like the real thing.

Ok, now, I know you'll get upset but the FOV i see you using in GT Sport is lower (and to me looks more realistic) than the one you use in ACC. You can achieve a similar view in ACC by lowering the FOV and moving the seating position to the back a bit, so you can still see more of the cockpit but the view outside of the windows is not stretched as much. The default is 54, I use 30. It's just a humble suggestion, of course do whatever makes you feel better at the (virtual) wheel.

stop playing a great game because it costs alot but he can afford it? Why would he? If he enjoys it he should play it. And actually , iRacing only turned to profit in 2016. After OVER A DECADE of development.

[@musicmate70]

​@@whysoslow1999 obviously you didnt even bother to read my post properly, where did I say to David to stop playing Iracing ? he can play what ever he wants to, its his prerogative & money after all, I just dont want to see him abandon GTsport & ACC like so many other youtubers seem to do after a while.

[@tomar5e115]

One thing I noticed with sims is that the tyre squealing happens on all corners, even when not taking it at full tilt. Iracing seems to scrub all the time. Is it like this in rinaldi ferrari?

[@DavidPerel]

You cannot hear tire squeel in RL. Sims use it as a way to ‘feel’ the car.

[@iaskosam]

Indeed - the first Project Cars did not have tire noise, but people complained and they had to put it back. While realistic, if you can't feel with your ass, the game can compensate with other senses, sound being second best.

[@tobiecouillard7864]

My guess is that iracing don't have to rely on tire squeal because you can only play the game with a wheel, so you can feel the grip limit through the wheel. While console games that can be played with a controller where the force feedback is non existent, the squeal is what makes you aware of the grip limit.

[@DavidPerel]

Tobie Couillard iRacing has tire noise, it sounds like you have flat tires. Also there’s no much feel in that sim, worst FFB of all the games IMO.

Sound is just as important as graphics .. when the music changes everyone cringes .. LoL . Nice video Dave.

[@garysmith3068]

WOW, ACC looks, sounds, and appears to be much more realistic than the rest.

[@DavidPerel]

They all have their strong points but ACC to me feels the most realistic when it comes to GT3 cars.

[@jesusmalena3741]

A couple of questions for David. Do you think it would feel more realistic playing anyone of these games with an actual motion sim rig? Also, your laps in real life seem to be 2 seconds faster than the Sims, is it because it's hard for you to tell how far you can push the vehicle in the Sims vs real life?

[@DavidPerel]

The only real lap that was faster was the Michelin. That’s purely related to grip levels. Whereas the Pirelli lap was very close to the sim times. I’m not a fan of motion rigs because they tend to have delayed feedback. I prefer a solid base with good FFB.

[@rozneprzygody3868]

I'm amased how similar the top speed is, less than 5 km/h approaching the last chickane, that's 1% !

[@maarten_smit]

Very interesting video, thank you!

[@ottojorge1]

please use rfactor 2 four compare guy ;)

[@TChapman500Gaming]

I do enjoy these hotlap comparisons between the various games and real life, but a single hotlap isn't a good indicator of overall realism. It's one thing to match real life for one lap, but it's something completely different to match real life over the course of a run. Anyways, thanks for posting. Also, what's with the field of view setting?

[@DavidPerel]

It always depends but sims drift even further from realism if you compare them over a longer stint. So one lap comparisons are best in my opinion.

[@JDM_Jeffro]

Hey Dave awesome video! I was wondering if you brake with your left or right foot? Cheers mate!

[@DavidPerel]

Left foot braking for me

[@kenway346]

As a PS4 owner, I'll admit that although GT sport is great and all (yes, better than ACC on PC), project cars 2 is the ultimate deal. The helmet cam featured in pc2 is the next level stuff

[@yaushaas]

Have you tried time trial on gt sport in VR?

[@DavidPerel]

I haven't tried VR with GT Sport yet. It's on the to-do list but... $$$

[@KingCobra_45]

Played GT religiously up to GT6. Once I made the switch to iracing I was blown away. I knew it didn't look as sexy as GT; However, there's no 10 year olds , iscrewyourmom game tags,and it is very near to the real thing when comparing. There's a reason the best gear isn't available on consoles. Lately the gear has trickled down. I guess this debate will go on forever, or until either company goes belly up. No matter what you're racing enjoy the Race brothers.

[@griphy]

Is it me or the level of grip on the Michelin seem insane compared to the Pirelli?

[@whysoslow1999]

about a 3 sec lap difference according to dave's comment (pirelli 2:18 vs michelin 2:15) so yeah, its not just you :)

[@DavidPerel]

The Michelin lap was meeeental

[@Halffastgaming]

Interesting to hear the different sounds of each sim. The Tyre squeal in GT just won't go away seems. IRacing sounds are very hollow after the previous video which has audio clipping ha. Great stuff David. Thank you!

[@jonhart9176]

Thank you for the info. May I suggest you run a gear higher in most areas, let the torque work for you. This will allow much smoother steering input and left foot brake modulation will settle the car more. It might feel slower, but you maybe surprised how ‘slower’ is also faster and more relaxed and zoned in.

[@DavidPerel]

Which sim we talking about?

[@jonhart9176]

ACC

[@DavidPerel]

There isn’t much torque in a 488, so I hope there isn’t any in the game either. I need to speak to them about this 😂

[@jonhart9176]

David Perel - I’ll give you Oli Beretta’s contact details if you need them, as he has the inside connections at Ferrari and Michelotto 😉 But yes, low torque. Had Benny Simonsen over and ran one at Bathurst and whilst brilliant over the top, definitely struggling up the hill.

I've noticed that you adjust your camera in a very low sitting position compared to pretty much any other sim racer out there, I guess that's closer to how you seat in real life?
