[@SackyX]

Though I bought both, the RPM's seem a bit off with the RSS version and the mirrors are blurry. I prefer the VRC car more. The physic's seem more realistic in the way you could lose rear end grip as the real cars do but is very correctable.

[@kiekiek]

Nah, the VRC drives like a nineties F1 car, the RSS is superior in every aspect.

[@darkhorse581]

@@kiekiek VRC feels better imo

[@user-iy4jn]

@@kiekiek the rss slides like crazy when trying to drive with a low downforce set up on a high speed circuit

[@Undersnow243]

Rss is a damn joke in term of grip you dont feel the downforce you should on bumpy area and kerbs it just feels slippery overall, the vrc is slippery on cold tyres and more than the 2021 cars but it stays reasonable

[@F-Man]

You’ve clearly not driven the RSS nearly hard enough - believe me, she gets all over the place when you find the limit.

[@DanBlake3rd]

You know it's funny. When I drive the RSS car I feel like it's easier to drive and quicker. But when I drive both absolutely at the limit, my lap times are almost identical. You have to perhaps work a little harder with the VRC, but when you do, you are really rewarded with an incredible driving experience. The is some criticism for the RSS wheel, but I actually like it better, preferring the lighted DRS button vs the dot in the VRC car. Regardless, they are both incredible cars and for the cost, there is no reason for not owning both. Surely, an embarrassment of F1 riches.

[@KristianLyubenovYT]

i see the criticism for the rss wheel, it almost looks like a toy and not what you would see in an f1 car

[@JacobCappello]

The wheel isn’t a massive deal in the grand scheme, there are already steering wheel model replacements floating around for it, so don’t sweat it

[@orcastrike7750]

I agree, I’m definitely going to be using them together, and putting them on the same grid with each other

[@Jt7166]

They are both outstanding, no doubt. I'd have to say I prefer the VRC car though. The sponsored wheel on the RSS car looks kinda cheesy and I just seem to get on better with VRCs physics.

[@darkhorse581]

VRC wheel is so much better

[@JacobCappello]

Fair but, I also think a lot more past the steering wheel model should be considered for the car as a whole lol

[@scribtz2241]

You know that RSS has real livery steering wheel swaps right?

[@ervintm1732]

@@scribtz2241 how?

[@Lego___]

Definitely will stick with the VRC, but I just hope that liveries continue to be made for it. Personally I've already bought the RSS X 2021 when it was first released and since then RSS has basically made 3 versions of the same car (X 2021, 2022 Evo, 2022) While I get it was probably necessary, that many completely different versions has somewhat left a bit of a bad taste for me (Plus its a little annoying now finding a nice livery of a 2022 RSS car only to find out straight away that it was for an older/newer RSS 2022 car) Im usually RSS all the way for the most part (love their 2020, 2021 and 1999 cars), but Im not really drawn in by the new 2022 car.

[@JacobCappello]

I get what your saying but two things, the FHX Evo was free if you already had the old one. Second of all the FHX and still the Evo is based on the 2019 version of the 2022 regs, sense even the Evo so much has changed that the car is very far off actual 2022 cars. VRC car is amazing but don’t miss out on the FH2022 just because you already have the FHX, two completely different cars

[@bodhizafa]

is there not a way for custom liveries to be made for the vrc, like a paint template?

[@Lego___]

@@bodhizafa Yeah, there are UV's, they should be in a Templates folder in the .rar/.zip file.

[@leksasdf]

I was surprised by how much I prefer the vrc car basef on their older formula mods, which are great too but they've really stepped up their game.

[@JacobCappello]

VRC absolutely killed it!!

[@Switll72]

Agreed VRC is bit harder to drive and a bigger "learning curve" , actually the main reason its my favorite. We have heard on many occasions from many experts that F1 cars is very difficult to drive and the VRC just add to that immersion for me. And yes when you get it right and you push the limit its faster than the RSS by quite a bit.

[@JacobCappello]

nice take! :)

[@damiendegrasse]

VRC is so much more rewarding to drive, the feeling in the FFB is what really does it for me, raced RSS cars for years and tires always felt like bricks.

[@JacobCappello]

VRC definitely feels a lot More alive!

[@mooreanonumbers]

I got the VRC, I really like how it looks. I got massive respect for both studios though, they do fantastic work!

[@JacobCappello]

Totally agree!!

[@SRNoobR]

I bought both, and I might play with VRC more than with the RSS, at least for now while RSS has yet to release a V2 update. There seem to be a few inconsistencies with the RSS model as you're not able to properly tweak the car's aero and physics specifically to your liking (especially for players like me who really prefer front-heavy and back-heavy cars over a neutral load), the RSS 2022 S model also has noticeably lighter force feedback than the regular model. And the steering wheel lights that turn on when you enable DRS feel a bit unrealistic as well. With that said though, I prefer RSS' sounds a LOT over the VRC and the general body of the car of the RSS is more to my liking than the VRC's (not a fan of the pancake look VRC used similar to Alfa Romeo's sidepods). Plus of course the steering wheel as I personally don't like the look of Alpine's steering wheel.

[@newttrz]

You can adjust the aero on RSS with the vanilla physics

[@SRNoobR]

@@newttrz Oh I understand. Thank you for bringing this up, I used the optional 1.77 CSP physics on my end and didn't know it's what caused the lack of aero adjustment. Thanks!

[@JacobCappello]

Good points man!! We will see what RSS does but imo it’s a very strong car!

[@braunhermann1910]

I also prefer that the VRC is more sensitive to throttle, the RSS is too forgiving

[@newttrz]

Both are incredible, each have its pros and cons. I honestly like the FH22's model design and detailing more, and it is more user friendly. It is also doesnt depend on csp features so the car is less buggy than the FA22

[@JacobCappello]

All fair points!!

[@darkhorse581]

I like VRC more

[@JacobCappello]

[@ryanviertel7059]

For me it's VRC all the way. It's just incredibly fun to drive, while the RSS to me feels a bit bland in comparison.

[@kylefunderburk4194]

Between these cars and both companies' 2020 Indycar mods, it seems like RSS aims to create cars almost anyone can pick up and drive, while VRC aims to create a product for more seasoned sim racers.

[@JacobCappello]

I’d actually argue the VRC Indycar was way easier to drive than the RSS one

[@nitsuj6555]

Ok this i agree with! Out the box with no adjustments the RSS seems easier to pick up and drive whereas VRC requires more driving knowledge/experience

[@SHRModding]

nice take and thanks for the shoutout! small correction, VRC's car has the honda sound from factory haha. have you tried the MSF hybrid 2022? also personally imo, i really like the detail VRC put into their car, the different aero parts, the front wing flex, fast drs flap, camber and toe changes visible, so many aero configs etc. but then i really like the RSS monocoque and halo design because it's more inline and proportional with the real cars. the MSF looks identical to the ferrari from this year and is the most 'on rails' of the three. imo if you can spare the cash, buy all 3 and make yourself a nice visually and audibly varied grid! (then spend the next 2 days tweaking the ai one by one to make the grid in the right competitive order lolz). Also i will be updating the sound pack with the RSS sound files but they will be the same as the ones for the VRC because i'm full steam ahead on flight sim atm.

[@JacobCappello]

Thanks for the recommendation man and no problem for the shout, you do amazing work!! And also it’s so funny, the stars are aligning for me and flight sim, I’ve really got into it recently and would love to make content on it, but don’t know what to do lmao

[@isuckatthisgame]

VRC is harder to set up I've found and if you miss click a gear down your back end might want to step out. RSS car somehow handles those disturbances for you and often with less tuning on the suspension front. Can't decide which one is better TBH. RSS is more fun to drive around for me, but VRC is more detailed. I feel like I'm actually driving on tires when using VRC, while RSS tires still feel a bit like bricks, haha! As for sounds, RSS simply nails it IMO. I almost never use SHR sounds on RSS cars and, like yourself, I'm definitely not going to use it for FH22. All in all, I think I will use RSS more than VRC.

[@-pr0vat70]

I think instead of being the tyres which you feel, you’re feeling the downforce of the VRC cars which I like more compared to rss

[@JacobCappello]

All fair points man!!

[@michaelralph5472]

I bought both. The VRC one is great. But once a full set of skins come out the RSS will be my most used.

[@JacobCappello]

Same 😊

[@johnscialdone9586]

Here’s my hot take: Overall experience goes to the RSS. I found the physics to be much more consistent throughout a lap and the car is much more rewarding to drive. However, the VRC’s dynamics at speed are incredible. The porpoising is solid but where it really shines is high speed corners. The FFB dynamics around a fast turn are absolutely crazy. For that split second around a fast turn, it’s felt more real than any car I’ve driven in the game (but only for that split second). Otherwise, the VRC somehow felt “too smooth” at low speeds. The RSS i always thought could have a little more weight and grain at low speeds and somehow the VRC is even lighter, smoother, and less grainy. The VRC slid across the track like a butter knife. The RSS slid across the track like a regular knife lol. So not quite a steak knife but definitely not a butter knife 😂 The learning curve is clearly harder for the VRC. I was able to get it quickly since I’ve driven an absurd amount of miles in the RSS. Given that, the RSS to me is definitely the more exotic experience. The RSS also wins in the sounds department, it’s so immersive and mechanical. I will also give props to the quality of the VRC as it is very pretty and looks more “full” than the RSS at times. Again, overall to the RSS! More rewarding!! (I do wish it had porpoising!)

[@bryanreyes9999]

I have both. Both are great, but RSS did not come with rain tyre options? RSS was easy to drive. I had to control the throttle more for VRC. Still glad I bought both! Gotta support both teams for the great work

[@jkristia9478]

what is the mod(s) you use for the Circuit Paul Ricard ?. I found one yesterday yesterday but it does not look nearly as good as in your video. I just got the RSS card and I think it feels fantastic with my CSL DD.

[@m.mijsberg8663]

Have been looking at formula 1 2022 mods for a while now for Assetto corsa. I really started doubting between these 2. Personally I don’t think I will experience much of the physics thanks to my bad pc setup, and since I like the look of the RSS cars more, I think this video convinced me to buy the RSS car

[@nitsuj6555]

So I haven't really seen anyone mention it but there's quite a difference in force feedback between the 2 cars, with VRC seemingly having less ffb. Which one is more realistic? I feel like the VRC ffb is too weak at times

[@JacobCappello]

I haven’t experienced that, but F1 cars have power steering so they arnt particularly heavy

[@Switll72]

@@JacobCappello They do have hydraulic power steering but still very heavy compared to any other car.

[@Switll72]

I run mine at about 90% and the VRC is really heavy maybe just tweak a bit .

Theres also the 2015 Williams F1 car, with full grid skins on racedepartment Same with a 2009 Williams F1 car, that comes with full grid skins by default (no skin packs needed) VRC also has the 1997 Ferrari and Williams F1 cars, despite being renamed to Ferrenzo and Willians, I dont think they updated the uv's, should be compatible with skin packs Only issue with the 1997 cars is the car audio is pretty broken, but for me personally I just swapped it out for the Ferrari F2004's, not 100% accurate to how they sounded back then but the audio worked fine.
