I’d like to see Com8s new version as a 3rd screen.

I’m not going to knock iRacing as I think it’s a great Sim and really enjoyed my time with it. If I could afford it I’d still be using it!

Other than the circuits physical layout and surface, (which TBH is the most important thing) I don’t think visually it’s any more accurate than some other quality versions, especially Com8s. The bridges colours and trackside objects are not any better than we see in rFactor or GTR Evolution!

But like I said it doesn’t take away anything from the pleasure of driving iRacing and I wish I could still find the money and time to devote to it

I meant the Bridge models and the colouring in general

I saw some shadows out of place but it could just be a difference in time of day. Hehe… Just kidding. Looks good.

Laguna Seca has to be my least favorite track to drive. In any sim. It just never clicked for me.

I’ve always found the surroundings a little bland (even more so in iracing with the lack of colour saturation) but the actual track to be a blast to drive. Nice video btw, iracing version looks just about flawless. Compared to that real-life vid Com8 did a decent job with the rfactor one too though.

Its much better offcoure, but i must thank Com8 4 his stacks and stacks of time and effort he puts in!
