iRacing Mosport – Reality Check

Posted 2 weeks ago in iRacing

A week ago, iRacing added Mosport Raceway to the lineup of tracks in their online racing simulation. As with all their laser-scanned tracks, the virtual version of the famous Canadian track is very accurate.

You can check for yourself by watching the official track comparison video below, showing the virtual and the real-world version side by side.

Located north of Bowmanville, Ontario, Mosport is one of Canada’s most famous motorsport venues. The 4 kilometer track layout includes 10 turns and is one of the very few classical racetracks that remained almost completely unchanged over the years.

The in car video is very poor, it’s virtually useless if trying to make a decent comparison, I stopped watching it half way through.

Lol. You’d think they would be able to dig up a decent real life video given their affiliations with the real deal. The track looks superb though.

The track matches in every frame, I dont know if the bumps do though, but yes quite impressive.

I tried some months ago the trial but it asks for the visa card, so I quit the process.
I wanted to give it a try..

you dont need this videos, iracing tracks are using laser scanning, so are the most real tracks ever.

Maybe because they’re being made by the same guy, who happens to have his steering wheel off?
