Hi guys,

I know some people here use iRacing. But I was wondering if anyone has tried Simraceway and how it stacks up to iRacing (which is still the best on PC, correct?). I'd really like to start doing some online racing (to learn tracks if nothing else), but the whole idea of monthly iRacing payments is a bit annoying... Simraceway has a decent selection of tracks (they do have Lime Rock and Watkins Glen - two of the most local tracks to me) that are free and a more diverse selection of cars...

Thanks!

Iracing seemed awesome when I first started using it, but the physics seem to be lacking something. I found Simraceway to be more realistic feeling but graphically less attractive, which I don't care much about. No VIR, though, so I can't really use it.iracing will lead you to learn bad habits in real life, unless you are only driving a very fast aero car.

I've been using Simraceway for a couple of months. I'm going back to Mid-Ohio for the first time in 40 years and wanted to relearn the track. I got the wheel from Amazon for $90. The software has some quirks but over-all, I like it. Other tracks of interest are WGI , COTA, and Lime Rock.

I am just getting into this as well. How does R Factor fit into all of this?
As I posted on the other thread I'm really looking for Miller, to learn it before NASA Nationals. R factor has the correct outer course.

Oh, and for hardware, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro, and an Acer Turion 2 PC laptop. I know a tower would be better, but if I have to buy one, I'll be doing real racing less!

Tool is right.... I would feel like a total TOOL sitting in that!
mx22, IMO there is nothing better than iRacing for learning the tracks. Simraceway, rFactor, and others are fun but for track accuracy iRacing is it.
