Hey Beau, yeah have watched quite a few Youtube videos based on what you said. Being able to just jump in with quality opponents with the incentive to race fast but cleanly really does put it in its own league. Though just have to wait until I get some pedals. Thinking the V3's or inverted. The problem with the V3's inverted is that it's impossible to buy them when the Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Pro are about $200AUD more, delivered to Aus
So that means 1.2K. So makes the basic Fanatec's quite attractive. Especially as they should still have relatively good resell.
And yeah proabably should just race with my T3PA's, but honestly I'm too competitive and not being able to modulate the braking properly in say the Skip Barber and RUF's would really annoy me losing all that time under brakes. With that said, what pedals are you running mate?
For me a basic wheel and sim rig is fine, but the pedals I feel need to be half decent with iRacing.
That said Assetto on the PS4 is pretty good for now, but at least my Macbook is capable or running iRacing (have the 2016 15" with the 460GPU), well enough to hook it up to the TV
Beau, how long did it take for you to build up your iRating? And any advice regarding that or safety rating?
Geez as I'm typing this I am reminded about how.. at the end of the day.. iRacing is light years ahead with the way things run. Especially if you want to take it seriously.
Damn I'm conflicted haha. I live with my brother and he has just finished his degree and is finally all about getting back into Sim Racing and any time I mention anything other than iRacing, he's not interested haha. He knows that's where it's at. He's quick too actually, but hasn't done it since he was still in school (good old Race On). But nice to have him in for a few reasons, but mostly, he's been talking about getting his own rig, and that would be pretty sweet racing my little bro in something like iRacing.
Anyway that's enough from me. Bloody well done on finishing in the 10. Great highlights. To race at that level where the guys are pro and basically at the maximum all the time would be incredible. And of course knowing these guys are genuinely at the highest level, and that's verified, would make for a pretty fuzzy feeling no doubt. I bet you had some nerves just before the race haha.
