Episode 74 - Lamborghini Wheel, Steadiplay, Iracing Night

[jcchaconjr]

Another great episode, guys! I'm SO looking forward to seeing Richmond at night on iRacing! The lighting effect as the cars were making their way around the track was even more impressive than I had imagined.

I also noticed during the Top Simcars segment that you had the ISR Dallara IndyCar mounted on the wall! I freaked when I saw it, lol. How did you guys get that mural done? I wouldn't mind doing something like that for one of my Digital Apex cars.

I'll have to check out the NAGP site. From the race report, it looks like it has some pretty competitive racing there.

As always, looking forward to the next episode!

Exceptional episode as always guys.

Glad you guys didn't hold any punches with rating that wheel. Maybe it'll convince these wheel makers to stop insulting our intelligence with these toy wheels and start making some real heavy duty ones. With that being said, I don't like any of Logitechs or Fanatec's wheels either, as they too are too toy-like for my tastes(yes that includes the G27 as well with its plastic housing) so I guess I'm sort of a stickler for all things metal and industrial

re Iracing: I'm not a subscriber yet, but this news of being able to spectate plus Zolder and Spa in the future will push me over the edge! iRacing is getting better all time!

The damage model and transmission are really cool too now !

Yup, I've read good things about over at RD. Supposedly the new tranny model makes shifting a lot harder on some cars, namely the Dallara and the Vette.

Yes, I tried Richmond at night and despite having a lot of problems controlling the truck for some reason, I thought it was cool. The weird thing Is I went into "test on track" and it was daytime. The new tranny model is challenging but that's realism. In rFactor I've blown up many transmissions.....flames and all the rest of it. All and all, an excellent update IMHO.

Another great episode - well done!

It was interesting to see the gulf between US and European motor sport - i was surprised you han't heard of Tyrrell.

It was great to see a GTR2 car/mod being reviewed. Sorry for being pedantic but right after reviewing an rFactor conversion you say "We are going back old-school now with GTR2 which was out around 2004-2005". You are confusing GTR with GTR2. GTR2 is getting on but its newer than rFactor - even GT Legeends is slightly newer.

Maybe a time line will help

November 2004 - GTR released in Germany
March 2005 - GTR released in the rest of Europe
May 2005 - GTR released in the US
August 2005 - rFactor released
October 2005 - GT Legends released in Europe
January 2006 - GT Legends released in the US
September 2006 - GTR2 released worldwide
