The merc in iRacing is criminally underatted. Merc worked with iRacing to develop not just the car, but the tyre model. Merc bascially said "You may have our cars but lets sort your tyre model out first." It is the most realistic car on any consumer sim and feels "just like" the one Matt used. It was Paul diresta (I think) that said it felt the same as the Merc sim.

On top of that all laser scanned tracks, good weather and track evolution and great wheel to wheel racing with the best part being the ranking system. People will argue AC but i think it has different strengths but overall is not as good.

iracing and AC both model tires like that. EDIT: apparently AC is still empirical i think. Super impressive model, many people prefer it to iracing. Not sure if they actually render it but they def model it. And iracing and AC are both top tier sims. People don't realize that the flex of the side wall is what pulls your car through turns. Everything your car does is based on the flex of the rubber. 95% of a racing sim is the tire model. even if every other part of the sim is perfect, it's only as good as the tire model because every relevant force on your car goes through the tires at some point. So i'd say if there's one thing Iracing and AC compete against merecedes with, it's probably the tire model. At the end of the day, it's physics, AC and iracing devs are more than capable. Where they can't compete is data. Mercedes has decades of real world data that no one on else has. Every lap driven in the real car is going straight into this sim almost in real time. It's as accurate as it gets.

@@rainyprac Only AC and ACC still use an empirical tyre model (they use calculations not a tyre simulation). All the other sims (PC2, AMS + AMS2, iRacing, rFactor, etc) all use a physical tyre model that properly renders things such as tyre flex and grip. Mercedes are almost 100% likely using rFactor Pro just like literally every other motorsport team ever. The problem is that rFpro based on the outdated ISI 2 engine, not ISI 2.5 like rFactor 2. Thus, it is automatically worse then rFactor 2 or iRacing without some major work. Saying that iRacing cant get close is disingenuous as they work with teams/series such as Mercedes or Indycar, and their tyre/physics model is arguably best in class.

Thus he was scrubbing time off his lap. Given more time and some more coaching I am sure he would have improved him lap times more.
