Wow, somebody totally missed the point of simracing.

freelanzer: Why even bother with iRacing, rFactor2, V8Factor and every other racing title in development which has appalling graphics when we have Forza Motorsport 3, Need for Speed Shift and Gran Turismo 5?? I’m really curious to why some people would still play games with bad graphics when there’s games with proper graphics.. it’s like stabbing two forks in your eyes and then start racing. :(

Wow that was hilarious :) I guess that you are not serious, nobody is that stupid.

GT & Forza are all about collecting cars while iracing, rfactor & GTR Evo. are all about racing. F1 drivers like Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikonen & many others even played rfactor. There are also NASCAR & IRL drivers who played these games as well.

Because the only difference between the physics, AI and force feedback of the console games that you mentioned and a bucket of sh*t is the bucket.

freelanzer, this is a site about sim racing (mostly), not Crysis racing.

navalhawkeye: Because I’d rather have a game that is fun to play than one that looks good.

Nail, head, hit. The physics, accuracy and FFB is iRacing is exceptionally good imo, far ahead of both Forza and GT. In Sim racing I want the most authentic experience I can get. iRacing, rFactor (not sure why you mention rFactor 2 when it's not even out yet...), GTR, Live for Speed etc etc are far from bad looking games. I get more enjoyment from more realism and playability than I do better graphics. Why else would I still play Grand Prix Legends :)

Because I’d rather have a game that is fun to play than one that looks good. Every Forza has been mediocre at best, Gran Turismo boring, Need For Speed has had like 2 good games ever. I’d rather play a game with good physics than one that just looks good. And to me, iRacing and from what I can see in the few rFactor 2 screenshots look great.
