The Other Racing Games Topic

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

Might get into F1. Just did about 15 laps on Interlagos and got down to running consistent 1:17's. I know it's not fast at all, but I'm just glad I'm at the point where I don't spin out every corner!

I don't have the F1, but from watching that last video from Mikey, it looks like it slides all over.

It does, but it doesn't.

Ran a few races this weekend, still afraid to run an oval race though. Gotta keep 'dem stats!

Yeah Nate it's a weird feeling. The slide is only when you "flick" it in, and it's just kind of pushing. It doesn't slide on w/o turns.

Na, pCARS had some go karts but they were shit.

I have KRP and it's dope. No online players, almost never.

Pretty good comparison of just how wild the F1 car is... Really the only way to describe it is retarded fast.

First up, Mclaren MP4-12C


Williams FW31

I was running 37's but I've seen 31's. :lol: I'll probably do a race, just not get anywhere near first.

I was at a high 1:34 last night after about 10 laps. After watching caton's hot lap I'm pretty sure I can shave another second off by getting through the first sector better. I noticed how early I was turning in through the esses and how much that would screw me as I went through them a whole gear lower than Marcus.

Two really tricky tracks in a row for sure, but holy crap this car is fun.

Is iRacing worth getting? I've been thinking about it for a while but I can't quite make my mind up.
I'm washed.

Only if you're really into it. If your one the fence about car racing sims rFactor2 or Asseto Corsa are better alternatives. Or there's even rFactor, Live for Speed, GTR2 or Game Stock Car that can be had for cheaper and are still good games albeit a little dated.

Havoc, what did you think of the AC tech preview?
