You somehow gleaned from Ian Berwick's article, that iRacing claimed (meaning you think he lied) to not have tire model data, so that must mean that iRacing doesn't have a good tire model?????? Great logic. Right up there with these guys. I guess in your village, that's how you work things out. ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp_l5ntikaU Fess up. You haven't a clue whether iRacing was given tire model data from Firestone, Goodyear, Pirelli nor anyone else. You also have never written a tire model and wouldn't even know where to begin. What you are good at is trolling iRacing forums and coming up with logic to rival the villagers in Monty Python's Holy Grail movie. :-)

Even engine parts. That's a lot of detail. Aero seems to be pretty tricky. Tire model too. iRacing will release another update in their base tire model in 3 weeks. Looking forward to that for sure. :-) I like how much work they do to calculate masses and inertia’s for individual parts. Even engine parts. That’s a lot of detail. Aero seems to be pretty tricky.

Shows that proper application of maths and a solid physics engine are the key to getting something close to the real thing.
