Assetto corsa

I hear ya but in my humble opinion its far too expensive.
Ive resubbed since the weekend for 1 month to see whats what and i doubt ill be resubbing after that and ill explain why.

I was one of the very first through the doors of iracing thanks to RSC ie racesim central back in the day where i got an invite.
I subbed for real back in 2008, since then ive been subbed on and off spent €390 on content alone [here comes the deal breaker for me]

Despite spending a grand total of €390 on content over the years for mostly road series i will have to spend a minimum of €90 just to participate in one class C series [thats the cheapest based on content i have/need for this series]with other class C and D series costing more than that not to mention class B that i was running a few years back when i was really into it.

As always iracing make it so you always have to buy something as they are constantly changing up the tracks included from season to season.
All rookie series cost me nothing but thats not enough to keep me subbed plus its the worst of the worst racing that the sim has to offer, things omprove dramatically once you get out of rookie so i have no interest racing there again.
Back to the sim itself its great but physics wise its not an awful lot better thanautomobilista,R3E or AC,same can be said for FFB.
I have lways found its tyre model a bit suspect and thats still not fixed.


iracing really shines in its online element, its true nothing touches it but with SRS the other sims have gotten closer with safely rating driving racing and top quality servers.
This is ideal if you dont want to commit to a league and it has regular races all day long, again not as comprehensive as iracing .

Heres a breakdown of what my current class C series and below that im interested in will cost me if i was to pursue them.

V8 supercar series - €130
Star Mazda - €90
Skip Barber - €150
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup - €140

Ofcourse theres maybe 3-5 tracks that overlap and if bought and included in another series can be used but they are very clever, there are very few that crossover if you get me its almost a total different roster of tracks bar the few exceptions.

Remember over the years i have bought content that was needed for these series [€390 thats actually of no use to me now] but as mentioned above the roster is designed in such a way that your practically forced to buy to participate, and at €15 per track its a bit of a joke imo.

I would love to be able to justify paying the above, but even if i ran one series the cost is criminal to me.

Amazing sim, amazing online structure and features, practically endless stream of racing to enjoy but just costs too much in my opinion

Haha im one of those cyclists too and i can assure its every bit as expensive as simracing if not more,just like simracing you can spend as much as you wish :P

Yeah i have big hopes for ACC, being the official racing simulation of the Blancpain GT Series it will give the users that championship structure that AC is so sorely missing in its current form.

AI coming too in this first build i believe.
I remember when i bought early access for standard AC it didnt even have any AI and took over a year to get any AI at all.

I still havent got round to trying it yet myself but will do soon.
I was waiting for this guys thoughts, well worth a look.

Very disappointed in the announcement that when they said the sim will have matchmaking they didnt actually mean matchmaking.
They meant servers with ranks but that system failed with so many previous titles its a big kick in the nuts for sure because we will just have the usual high rank servers empty and the low rank servers full.

I really hoped this would be something to offer a decent online experience, matchmaking players with similar safety rating rank would be great but alas its not happening

Looks like for the wait for an affordable top class sim with clean pick up races will continue.

iracing is still the only one to offer this but cost is crazy.
