Or how AC gets physics right, dogg.
My take on the difference between the two top sims. Come with me on a journey of hot takes, bad animation, and a whooole lot of time spent sifting through youtube videos to cut out clips.
What do you think? Which sim wore it better?

Playing this back at .75 speed sounds near perfect 👌
holy moly, you're a life savior
Hehe yea very close imagine 0.8x
I played at 1.25 and it was just right for me
@@ModMINI ahh, the speed runner version
Wow, you're right.
He can compete with Eminem for rapping
Im Russian, and i set video to 0,75 to understand what he says
😂 true that

At the very least let people change the playback speed
iRacing: £1600 for all its content.
Assetto Corsa: £10 for all it's content plus a couple weeks research & modding to make the game better looking then iRacing & with 5x the amount of content.
Imo, even without mods, AC is better looking than iRacing.
@@hilezkorra6319 I tried but don't play IR and I have like 4.6k hours in AC and while it varies a bit IR looks better than stock ac in a sense of track details and color palette. Just looks more believe to my eyes.
@@ID1visor Yes but SOL and Custom Shaders Patch are free, take about 10 or 15 mins to install and set up and improve the living crap out of all of that.
don't forget subscription fees.
Even better when you catch the complete AC package on sale as I did. :) Got that and PC2 for next to nothing. I'm fine without iRacing.
Wow, this video was way more fun than I was expecting. Bravo!
Also confirmed my suspicions of some people confusing "difficulty" with "realism" in Sims.
Yeah it's something Viperconcept mentioned in his video "most difficult sim games" (or something like that)
Kind of funny and boring at the same time
Hi (:
@@sunshinez-2017 Hi!
@@Raycevick love your content the ghosts video was thought I was the only one have a nice day or night ( :
Wait a second, this isn't burnout! Wish it was though. Didn't know you were into sims too.
for real bro, I was not expecting this quality content from a "small" channel if I can put it that way, congrats! agreed with every word you said, subbed
Thank you very much! All channels start somewhere I guess. I only recently started really putting some effort into this stuff, so I'm glad you like it.
Nik Romano you’re awesome dude! And your video too! Keep the content flowing!!!
Same.
lol, didn't realise this until you said it, checked subs assuming "small" meant like 10k and he's got 700 subs lol, glhf Nik m8
You are showing videos from a classic car meet and the Yellowbird RUF Porsche - a drift machine. Real racing cars today (the fast ones) don't drift. If you try to drift them at speed you will spin.
Finally somebody who speaks at a decent speed. Subbed
still kicked it up to 1.25x
I checked if I put my speed on 2x but no, this dudes on a mission.
Breathing between sentences, he got no time for that
My man here speedrunning the entire english dictionary
Bruh😂👌
Just watched a video the other day of Josef Newgarden (2019 Indycar champion) saying exactly that about iRacing.
He's not wrong.
Mentioned video: ua-cam.com/video/UoX9M2yuNTA/v-deo.html
I don't want to argue, but that Josef video was using the tire model V6 and not V7, in which these problems are now corrected. I love both sims anyway!
@@pmtsimracing2045 There's no V7 tire model for the IndyCar iirc. So he couldn't if he wanted to.
And in other comment, OP said this video was made after the v7 model and has tried it. He said it's an improvement but still not right either.
@@yz249 Yea it has improved but if you compare it to something like rfactor there's still a long way to go.
This is no joke one of the best videos I have ever seen, I was laughing the entire time.
You are completely right. Stock AC is probably slightly worse looking than iRacing, but with the Content Manager, Custom Shaders Patch and Sol (all completely free, constantly updated mods), you can have AC looking absolutely fantastic. And my god, the car and track mods are just wonderful. You can drive everything from the entire 2019 F1 season in a current spec F1 car (The RSS Formula Hybrid) to a go-kart at Rainbow Road, to a banana around a toilet.
Man do I love AC, my favourite sim by far.
Only problem for triple screen users it still looks bad because MSAA? is not supported other than single screen mode. Apparently.
Ive been playing forza 6 and 7 for quite sometimes and they're both fun and cool games. After playing AC for the first time, what a thrilling realistic racing game. It feels so immersive. Great sound and physics. No comparison.
Forza is an amazing game but given the fact you can also basically drive any track and famous road in any car basically with simple mod installations is amazing, the only downside on assetto is the tuning is really really difficult to learn
I've been going for track days for almost 10 years, I've won all time attack championships I partook in (2), I still have the track record in my mx5 category yet I still can't drive in iRacing. Thank you for this video!
steph sek the iracing Mx5 is like driving on ice. I’ve been told I just suck at sim racing. Bro, I race irl. That’s now how an Mx5 handles. Funny thing is I’ve heard some Mx5 drivers say it feels normal to them in iracing?
I've roasted Randy Pobst's best lap time by 1.6 seconds in our race car, same car, same track (Portland), same conditions, and I still can't drive in iracing.
Similar, real life skills don't transfer to IRacing. But perfectly well in AC/ACC/RF2 etc. The devs of IRacing could easily get it right.
But THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THEY HAVE BEEN WRONG ALL THESE YEARS
@@TheInsaiyan If only Sierra would have been kinder to Papyrus and been a better publisher for them then they wouldn't have turned into the monsters behind iRacing. And maybe their game wouldn't be behind a massive subscription paywall. Hell, personally I find NR2003's physics superior to those in iRacing. And I've had iRacing for 6 months, ultimately got bored of it 4 months in. The street stocks were cool tho
5:40 sums up iracing in 2 seconds "iracings curve is an isosceles triangle." 😂😂👍 Nailed it!
grip curve
Great vid - I've gotten into iRacing recently and always liked AC WAY more. You outlined all of my annoyances perfectly haha. Miatas are not THAT hard to catch.
Once iracing fixes that, it will definitely have the best handling model. Until then, I find it infuriating.
I love iRacing and have immense fun playing it, but this made laugh a lot. You're definitely right about the physics, up to the limit they feel OK, but over, they don't feel right. It's kind of more of a racing sim than a car sim I guess, the experience of racing (in terms of competition) is fun.
Spot on.
Who would've thought i*Racing* is indeed intended to be a -racing- sim huh
@@santir3690 all racing sims, except iRacing, attempt to accurately depict handling
This is a 20 min video compressed into 10 minutes. That's awesome! Most people need to stretch their videos to hit the 10 mark.
THANK YOU for your salty take. iRacing always makes me feel like an awful driver at the limit.
You are welcome! Plenty of salt where that came from. iRacing got better with the ver.7 tires, but the problem is still there.
New tyre model on the f3 is better now on IRacing, I catch slide and play with the rear in every corner! The V7 tyre is incredibly good
@@maceocapietto4090What? V7 tire completely broke everything on iracing. Now there is no grip on cold tires, the cars have death wobbles, and everything handles awful. Definitely not an improvement.
@@brandontrost8888 Let's not forget the burnout exploit
Brandon Trost well, every race car are shit on cold tyres, and for the wobble, I don’t feel so even if I got a t300rs ( bad I know)
I have a very similar background in cars, being an instructor, road racer, drifter, autox, e-karting, tag karts, 2stroke etc ( basically anything that i can compete in on wheels ) and having raced on many road courses across the midwest in many types of cars for racing and street use, I have been saying this about not just Iracing in particular but even some of the games like Forza Motorsport 7 where recovery is nearly impossible at times because of the tire physics.
Your example at the entry to left turn at Laguna Seca has happened to me so many times its almost as bad as flashbangs in counter strike in terms of frustration in a game that makes you lose all hope LOL. Being on the limit with those small minor inputs and trimming of the gas and brake is what makes me race even harder because it feels so invigorating to be able to move a car with that level of precision and purpose because you've fused with it. Iracing takes that away from me in a lot of aspects and the triangle cliff of grip no doubt is a great analogy.
Subbed*
I feel like we could be good friends XD
I totally agree. If I'm not driving at/above the limit, then what's the point?
@@NikRomanoRacing Absolutely! I Haha, I always tell my customers, or students when I come to a new road course i spend a few laps as a tourist and the rest as a racer carefully expanding the limits and respecting the track. Trying to respect those limits in these games sets you up for that crestfallen moment where your hopes are almost exceeded, and you get that feeling like you're connected to the track and car only to have the rug pulled from right out under you and you get that gut sinking feeling you know the spin is beyond saving haha.
I'm the best player, driver and the best musician on earth.
Yeah I actually prefer iRacing being unrealistically difficult. It weeds out the Xbox gamers and keeps them away while keeping us focused on maintaining control of our own vehicle rather than bored racing each other with cars on rails.
@@greyghost293 No. And the devs don't like it either. Also here's the problem with the video: The Skip Barber proves pretty much everything otherwise. In fact, if you read the forums at all, most of the time it's people having a 1v1 on whether the cars have too much slip angle or not enough.
Surprisingly, the F3 had PLENTY of grip and that entire field of drivers threw a fit. So it's not the devs fault. :|
It's the fact that they listened to their users >.>
Exact ! I'm glad I didn't put a ton of money into this game cause it´s by fact not the best racing sim but this wasn´t a Secret before!
@@G4ns4n It is though. :| ACC simulates like... 3 types of cars.
When I used iRacing, it was so sensitive on throttle to not get into a spin. Its like the creators never driven a real car. And when the tire lose grip, its just a on / off switch, instead of the scrubbing of the tire you get in real life.
yeah they just nailed simulating multiplayer competition and made everything else a money farm because they have a monopoly on the niche.
This is funny. I came across this video just two days after I got into dialogue with friend of mine. We both were watching AC prologue event organised by Polish Automobile Association responsible for nation's wide championships. There were some professional drivers invited as guests and during this event they were asked some basic questions about simracing, including “what is the best platform and why?”. Gosia Rdest said more or less that iR physics is way better and AC is years behind (not literally but this is how I perceived her approach). Suddenly there appeared a thought in my mind: Wait the minute, if iRacing is so great, why you cannot drift there. If it is so great, why you have to drive exactly in the same way as you were trying to sketch something using ruler. If you go one millimeter off the line, you are screwed. And this is out of whack! Thanks for making this content. You expressed what I think in very approachable way. And I share same opinion with two of my teammates, too ;) I also came across some video which was basically a compilation of professionals claiming the same things as you. Thumbs up!
Gosia Rdest could be a better (much better) driver if she would spend less time with interviews and more time on practice ;)
Dude got paid, lol.
I think you're the only channel to which I've subscribed after only a single video! This is good stuff indeed! Hope there's something similar involving rF2 vs iR and ACC vs iR.
More on the horizon, but these take me a long time so please be patient!
Yes! Yes! Yes! EXACTLY right!
I'm also a RW racer (bikes and cars). I gave up on iRacing because they just refuse to fix this fundamental problem. I bought a whole group of racing sims, including AC, which I have fallen in love with. In the RW, you go to the track expecting to drive on the limit, do your best, try to win, etc. But you do NOT expect to wreck the car.
I do entire race weekends in AC without wrecking the car. In fact, I hardly EVER wreck, unless I'm just trying something because I know there are no consequences. In iRacing, probing the limits as you do in the real world consistently leads to disaster.
Liked and subscribed.
This is why I quit iRacing 10 years ago and why AC brought me back. AC actually feels like driving a car at the limit.
AC has some fascinating physics.. the devs care about the physics more than anything else, which is good
I'll have to disagree. If you quit iRacing 10 years ago then you don't have an accurate opinion. I recently switched from AC to iRacing and it's miles better in terms of realism and even graphics if you care about that. In AC you can drive the car at the limit, that's because it's super easy. iRacing is way more challenging because it's actually realistic
@@grimreaper5232 A game in which you can't drift is miles away from being "realistic" lol
I think you mistake difficulty for realism.
@@RabbitConfirmed Actuakly, you can drift in iRacing 😅. Literally did it today and you can also look up countless videos of it online. It’s just super easy and idiot-proof in AC so that’s why it’s more popular there. iRacing has a different demographic, which is simmers that are looking for the most realistic physics and best competition. Drifting isn’t sought after there so there’s not much content for it. That’s why most professional racers use iRacing or rFactor2. AC isn’t even in the picture because it’s arcade in comparison.
@@grimreaper5232 The drifting in iRacing has literally nothing to do with real life drifting. It's physics are just straight up garbage in that regard and has nothing to do with real life physics. And it also shows in other examples as the video shows.
And I find it funny that you compare iRacing to rFactor2. Because rFactor2 might actually have the most realistic physics in the industry. iRacing however does not.
"That’s why most professional racers". No they don't. Real life professional racers use custom made simulators to actually train, if they ever use iRacing then just for the fun of the online competition, because that's what iRacing is good at. What you mean is maybe some of these professional Simulator Racers. But there again, the only reason they chose iRacing over AC is because of all the better online implementation. And most of them play either F1 or faster GT races where you don't even feel the difference in physics so much anymore, because your car is basically on rails anyways.
So no it's exactly the opposite, AC has better physics and iRacing is a train simulator in comparison.
the intro of AC brings tears to my eyes
I'm new to Sim-racing, and you just made my day. That was well written, thought out, and explained.
I've driven the MX 5 cup car on both iracing and Assetto Corsa. In AC, it's a joy to drive, since the tires have grip. Imagine that, a car with actual grip! On Iracing it was like the car was a figure skater, and a bad one at that, since it kept slipping. The track used on both IR and AC was Summit Point Motorsports Park. Needless to say, I got better lap times on AC compared to IR, because I wasn't spending so much time hitting the tire barriers.
Not only does it have grip, but when it DOES lose grip, it's not a death sentence.
@@NikRomanoRacing see I'm the opposite, I find in AC I'd be in the wall more often than not due to lack of grip, usually understeer. But the EXACT same car/track combo in iracing I can run at higher speeds using slip angle like crazy.
The combo I used is the MX5 Cup on the Nordshliefe.
That's some 5-star content, thanks for the laughs! Just discovered your channel and I love the levity of tone coupled with the depth of commentary. If I may risk one small request: please do ACC and RF2, that is, if you can...
Thank you sir! I don't have either of those yet, but they are most certainly on my list. I'm working on another now for a different sim, so hold tight.
The start nearly put me off dude its 4 am and I wasnt ready but I watched till the end . Good vid dude .
Thank you for saving me an IRacing sub. Glad you dispelled the snap oversteer myth with SW20 👍
No such thing as snap oversteer, just inexperienced drivers.
But oh my god I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the flaws in iRacing's physics.
I haven't driven an IndyCar, but the guys who have (Will Power, Josef Newgarden are the two I'm gonna reference here) have said that the IR18 is WORSE to drive on iRacing than real life, and have voiced their frustrations with the sim's tire model quite a few times. There's way too many lazy slides in the game. Way too many.
Yep... but they're called out as people who know nothing about simracing... ^^ It's a shame.
Dixon said something similar (i'm paraphrasing btw, before anyone shoots me because these were not his exact words), "you have to learn what the game wants rather than drive the car like you usually do".
Clint Bowyer during a NASCAR televised iRacing event said something like "I hate to say it but these cars are harder to drive than real life. In a real car you can catch a slide but in these cars once it gets loose - she gone"
@@joshpeets3951 yep I've seen that.
Felt amazing hearing it since this was the sim racing communities major criticism of IRacing that the Devs just ignore and call you stupid and not knowing how real race cars handles.
Well now you finally got real professionals who INDEPENDENTLY pointed out IRacing tire model flaw that all of us who didn't like it got called uneducated for.
hope this channel blows up, you deserve it with content like this
Thank you!
Great video man. I've been playing GT Sport for a little over a year now and am ready to get into the real stuff and this video is exactly what I needed. It was very entertaining and informative. Good job. You just gained a sub.
Even bros voice is racing
So basically, drifting in iRacing is like drifting with "Simulation" steering in FH4
X D
Thanks. You just saved me a lot of money, as I was considering iRacing. But I'll stick to AC and ACC.
IRacing: NOOO!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT CARS DONT SLIDE! HARDER = MORE REALISTIC!!1!1
Assetto Corsa: Haha car go sideways
Brr brr the SUPRA GO VROOOOM
tires HAVE to slip. if the front wheels (both) are not taking the same arc as the the rear wheels (both of them), there is slipping. PERIOD. i don't know the difference between the physics models of the two; but, they both incorporate slip unless it's a four wheel steering car with Ackermann; there is slip. pretty much all race cars are setup with anti-Ackermann, which means a lot of slip.
@@sciroccoR exactly tire slip angle is the reason you can turn
this is very ironic because drfiting in asseto corsa is hard af
@@hamoodj792 lol no
Dude that was INSANE content! Hope you do more of it! I guess If u keep doing this you‘ll get as much subs as you deserve. And trust me: These are many subs
Thank you! There's another in the works.
@@NikRomanoRacing
Well the youtube algorithm gods did something good for a change as they have brought me here. This video was fan -freackin tastic. You my good sir got an immediate like and sub.
The same thing happened to me! ;)
this is the first video i've watched from Mr. Romano and all i can say is that I've now realized that something was missing from the content I was finding on UA-cam lately. And this was it. This is genuinely one of the most entertaining videos i've seen for the past year maybe and I'm here for it. If you're reading this Mr. Romano, you're a gold mine. Thank you for the binge watching I'm about to do on your channel. Keep it up👍
I am indeed reading it, and thank you very much! I only really have two videos up like this one, turns out it takes a whole lot of time and I just don't have that anymore. Hopefully you will enjoy what I do have up though, thank you!
Loved this video and every point you made.
I tried iRacing in the Miata(which I tracked irl, not the cup tho) and I just couldn't understand why I got to limit, managed to control the countersteer for a split second then just flew off track all the time.
It only happened there, the "realistic racing experience" whereas in AC, other sims and real life I can catch a slide or intentionally drift just fine.
This is the reason why I'm convinced that if AC had iRacing's online experience no one would be playing the second right now(expect hardcore muricans, they really love to turn left it seems).
Recently I found the World Sim Series website/community which is the closest AC will probably get to that, and it's free.
The feel, the modding scene, the "recent" graphical updates(Custom Shader Patch, Sol etc) on Assetto just make it the best all around simulator that's ever been made and I'm quite sure it'll take years to get something close to that.
Thank you!!! I gave up on iRacing because I could never catch a slide. I just assumed it was me, even though I grew up sliding my car all over dirt roads, and racing motocross.
I'm glad I could provide you with an FD spinning into the wall for this video.
Excellent points.
Hahaha yep, when I saw how glitchy it looked I knew I had to use it.
Brilliant video - took me a couple of seconds to get used to the voice speed, but then I really enjoyed the content. Well done and I look forward to your next vid. Subbed.
AMEN BROTHER!! The reason we drive Miatas is because they HANDLE. The MX-5 Cup in iRacing might as well be on ice.
This is a great video, I was hoping for someone making an explanation about physics between AC and iracing, and boy this video delivered, keep it up
a laugh a lot. Epic editing, content and script. I thought this were million subs channel when watching, but when i hit subs, mannn..i wish you have way more and more subs. Keep it the humor and all that jazz 😃
All channels have to start somewhere! I had about 300 when I released this video two weeks ago.
maaaan this d most amazin video iv eva seen, seriously! seems so obvious to us but most people cant even start to comprehend it lmao!! i would neva imagine to see a video like this, u made my day! thank u fo puttin in to words n what i been thinkin fo so long.. cheers
Josef Newgarden said this about three weeks ago on his UA-cam channel , you nailed the IRacing problem. Props!
First video I had to slow down because my brain was in a iRacing spin out. I like your points made and agree with most of them.
literally the best comparison between the 2 i've ever seen. Still love iRacing for the pure fact that they offer the best online Racing, period. (just cancelled my subscription because i've been only doing AC drifting though lately :) )
5:40 Bro I'm so dead LOL
Even without this video, I'd still sign up for your Fast Sideways school. Hope to attend one sometime next year!
Thanks! If you haven't already, send an email through the contact form on the website so I can start scheduling something that works for you!
iRacing takes itself way too seriously for a game that is less realistic than AC
Yeah that s why all irl drivers drive iracing right? Because ac is more realistic
Possibly the greatest video on this subject in the history of YT. I'm not much of a drifter but the ability to catch a slide in AC is phenomenal, not so much in iRacing. I've only tried a couple of cars in Automobilista so far but it seems like it's got a leg up on iRacing already based solely on drivability. For example, as a former kart racer I thought I'd try the 125cc kart and just fling it into a corner as a kart racer would and what do you know, I didn't spin and the rear tires still felt grippy not like ice racing as many cars do in iRacing.
I definitely want to give Automobilista a go soon. I love the car list, and have heard good things about the handling model.
iRacing needs to take heed on this Brilliant Video!
If they could fix that one thing (which they totally could) it would easily have the best handling dynamics of the sims I've tried.
@@NikRomanoRacing I totally agree! I cant understand why it is something they're not addressing?!
@moi paslui Their responses on the iracing forums imply that they honestly think they have got it right already. They were even patronising towards those who complained. One of their "physics experts" has all of his racing experience from short track stockcar racing and he thinks evrything else in racing behaves the same, despite how diferent a stockcar and a shorttrack is to normal racing. (Oddly enough you can drift a stockcar aswell irl)
Finally got a video discussing what absolutely pisses me off about some simulators. Just because it simulates things doesnt mean its realistic. Good video honestly this is the content im here for.
YES! YOU UNDERSTAND! Thank you for this video-it puts into words my exact beef with iracing. It's far too difficult to drift. Frustrating and disappointing doesn't even begin to describe it.
Honestly, this is one of the best videos I've seen in a while. Great job
they cant, they have no street car basis
What an incredible, truthfull and funny video. Yt algorithm finally did something good ;)
been a fan of your posts since joining trackable Miatas on FB. instant subscribe with this video sir.
Great video, keep going back to iRacing and reactivating but just can't get into the snappy rear end. Amazing sim to a point but Raceroom or AC offers better overall FFB for me.
I've been pleasantly surprised to find out that I'm not the only one who feels this way.
@@NikRomanoRacing iRacing only advantage in simworld is online racing system.
@@sandrino5 And unfortunately the advantage it has in multiplayer is massive compared to other sims, and they're the only ones who do it properly.
Leading to them being able to be charging absolutely ridiculous prices for an older sim that is inferior to the modern ones in almost every other way.
QUALITY MATERIAL you earned another sub my friend. Good humor and knowledge!
IRacing: no you can't race formula 1 on an oval
Meanwhile at Assetto Corsa: dodging traffic at shutoko highway in a formula 1 car
I agree with the guy below, Im really dont expected a vid so complete from a so small channel. congrats mate, 1+ brazilian sub
Thank you sir!
You are the HERO i always dreamed of
This topic is gaining traction in the sim racing community . Hopefully that means something will get done.
Regardless of which sim is more realistic, AC is infinity time more fun due the massive modding community. I visit RD and GTP to find new car and track mods everyday.
I think this is the best video on youtube
I think you are the best viewer on youtube.
1:30 thats the f1 game not iracing 😭😭
My dad plays iRacing and has talked about how much it costs cause you have pay for a series and then the tracks individually and 2 days ago I found AC and bought it tried it and I'm in love. Haven't played a game this good since NASCAR Racing Season 2003 and Forza Motorsports 4. I love this game! Content is good, sounds are awesome, physics feel great, its look fucking awesome and the mods are plentiful and I can run it unlike iRacing (Which already drains your wallet but now you got to get a state of the art PC to run it) and the best part is I only payed $4 cause it was on sale.
I knew Need for speed is the best simulator. I drifted in it for hours without stop. NFS GOAT
You’re severely underrated bro... and deserve more subs... keep it up man 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! I'm working on the next one, hopefully I can keep it going.
You like AC physics? Try ACC lol. Only bad thing is it's GT3 focused
That really explains why I can get lap records for various classes at tracks in real life but iRacing just doesn't agree with my propensity to slightly over drive the car to dance on the limits. Granted I've worked at reducing how far I push the limits of a car to reduce wear and tear on everything and actually improve lap times but iRacing definitely has a much steeper drop off of traction and control once you reach 100% limits, it can be VERY unforgiving so usually I end up under driving too much which doesn't win races in real life either. Still these simulators are good tools to get me familiar with a track much quicker than I would if I had to do my own scouting laps with only a track map and some youtube videos as assistance.
Put this video on .75 speed.
You'll thank me later.
This is actually the speed I like for my videos. First time in a while I don't have to choose 1.5x
With .75 speed, I would probably fall asleep, but with default speed, it flows on just perfectly, and I even take in all I want or need to.
Agreed.i normally bump up to 1.5, however this one I put on 0.75 which is a first for me
on 0.5 its funny as hell
This is probably the most fun i had watching a sim racing related video.
Glad you liked it!
Based on how fast you talk, got any spare coke? 😭
i love your authentic and correct interpretation of the iracing forums :D
Please never slow down, my brain is actually being used for once
I have tried iRacing just yesterday and I can verify that this now is fixed!
And of course, I really liked this video!

Turn your brain up, worksjustfineforme. Lol
Really good video! Finally someone that is assetto Corsa fan like me
what inciteful, excellent video. did not mind that you talked fast as information was redundant (but needed) at times. Was aware of the differences but nice to hear them stated so succinctly. Good job: especially at the end with the frustration.
....and ACC is just another whole another level to AC. Yes GT3 only but it takes that realism factor even closer than AC with its 5 point tyre model, chassis flex, brake pad and disc wear etc........ Oh and with AMAZING graphics and the sounds to give you eargasms.
I've heard nothing but good things about it. However, I have most of my fun in these sims in slower cars, so being only GT3 is kind of a deal breaker for me.
Woww you a legend your content is pure quality my eyes are burning from the fire content keep up the amazing work your channel is sure gonna blow up with so many subs.Just great and really fun
really in depth and informative. super underrated!
I don't know if you noticed this but in your Project Cars 2 video, there is actually an aquaplaning mechanic. For example if you drive on Ruapuna Park GP for awhile in the rain puddles will start to form, when you drive over said puddles the car will tend to feel unstable but once your off the puddles your tyres grip again.
I've run into that many times during USTCC league races!
This video has better editing than anything I watched on youtube combined
Literally the greatest video I've ever watched. WELL DONE! And well said!
Thank you for being one of the only people to adequately detail the differences between sims and how they feel
You're welcome! Check out the one about PC2, I talk more about it there!
this was amazing. great job Nik!
I just hopped back in iRacing for the first time in a while and I realized something interesting. It is faster in iR (and in my experience, ONLY in iR) to drive the car too far under the limit. Just did a race at Watkins Glen in the Mustang, and rotatiing the car on the edge, and trying to carry that momentum out of the corner for a good run onto the long straights is literally impossible. In iRacing you do one or the other, not both, because the tires just break loose and stay that way long after the grip should have returned. The car is a ton of fun, but it's really weird dialing it back so far and then suddenly going two second quicker. That is how I used to get so many wins on the ovals too. Nowhere near as fun to race like that either, and it doesn't track with my real world experience at all. People say Assetto Corsa is too oversteer heavy, but in my experience, that is how the car should feel. AC just feels right. rF2 just feels right. PC2 feels right (the FFB doesn't and some cars are just as weird), iRacing only feels right at around 80% of the cars performance. You push beyond that, and the tires just give up completely. You can have drivers running way faster then you, despite driving about as sloppy as humanly possible. I realized this after the race as I watched the replay to figure out where I was going wrong, because I had practiced on the same car track combo in AC and since they FELT so similar I figured it could carry over. But I lost 3.5 seconds in iR compared to AC, while applying the same driving style in iR. I slowed down and just babied the car around in iR and then boom, 2 seconds out of nowhere. Where's the fun in that? Precision is the easy part. It's the technique that I enjoy trying to perfect, and sadly in iR a lot of that technique goes to waste in a lot of cars because of this issue. And that sucks because if you ignore the ridiculous price, the sim would be the top dog if not for the janky way the tires behave. You'd think after what, 15 years?, they'd have figured this out. what's funny is if you know the sims origins then you know where the problem comes from. Old NR2003 has a much more exaggerated version of the same problem. In that game, if you so much as tried to trailbrake into a corner without some power on to keep it stable, the tires would effectively light themselves on fire. I will say, as a result of all of this, if you can wrap your head around it, racing competitively in iRacing is a much more laid back affair so long as you limit your mistakes. But when you do make a mistake, be prepared to be sent into the shadow realm.
This is very relevant as I just switched from Iracing to AC. And you made the main point. Iracing forces you to drive in certain manner where as ac allows you to drive....well, how you want to drive. I actually bought it to practice drifting.
If we could combine the two together, and apply the PCars2 menus, we'd have one hell of a game.
@@NikRomanoRacing Check out Automobilsta 2 then, it will hopefully be exactly what you described. Still early access rn.
This is a bloody good vid. Congrats. Subscribed!
everytime i'll hear someone refering to iRacing as the "more serious" sim, imma link them to this sentence 8:14.
It's good someone is doing videos about it and more people start the discussion. I feel like iRacing physics are perfect for pure racing and going 2W in corners, and this is why I enjoy it so much, but when you start to play with these cars you notice something is fishy with these physics and it's not exactly how cars IRL behave. From all iR cars I think Skippys with new tire model feel the most realistic, you can twich them in corners and get away with even bigger slides.
I've been hearing that about the Skippy cars. Which is kinda funny, actually. I used to be a Skip instructor so I have a lot of time in those cars IRL. You could definitely play with rotation, but they have a very limited amount of steering angle, so that's a car that you actually do have to be pretty careful with, or end up spun.
My God this is the truest video ever
