Invite the guys from Donut and challenge them between you on the gaming setup vs their fastest car. Same track, as I recognize they use the same track for their testing. Would be epic....just a thought
That was my thought! They'd have the connections to pull a car to race, Austin has the tech, they take a day and run back to back and see what they can do!
The tires can make a mass of difference just the tires are different than them on the race car and your car could be the difference between the times
Tires definitely make a huge difference. If those are road tires there's a couple of seconds there.
Standard seats and a seat belt will also make a huge difference against harness and a race seat as not only do you move less (which allows you to have better control), you'll feel the car much better which will gain you another few seconds.
There's also a significant weight difference between a road car and the TCR - the TCR is lighter and more powerful than an RS3 or S3 - 300+kg.
A 1:38 is probably not a million miles off a decent time given all that.
To be honest, I think if he actually went all in, gutted all the useless stuff (like heavy seats etc), got better tires, and perhaps even if he had a pro next to him to point out areas he could improve in the first few laps. Then I think he could beat the sim racing time. He done really good, colour me impressed.
Well, we all now know what Austin got himself for Christmas 2023 🤣🤣🤣
Better brakes in his road car? :D
You guys should do a Costco ultimate gaming setup!!
I won't be surprised if one day Austin went from sim racing to MX5 Cup or even a GT4 racing
Bro has no shot at any sort of racing at all
This is awesome! Love the videos where you combine both racing and computers!
The comment Austin made about the feedback through the wheel being better on the sim is interesting. During Covid lockdown, most racing series had an eSports series instead, and across the board the drivers said it took time to get used to the sim because almost all of the feedback you get from the seat and the road is transmitted through your hands instead, so it took a while to unlearn what they expected to feel through the wheel and react to the actual feeling through the wheel.
This is my favorite video from you in a long time, almost gives top gear vibes. Awesome stuff!
Also would love to see a video of you in the sim, versus a "stig" in your car. Think it would be really neat.
That bundle is incredible for sim racing (It sure had better be for the price. lol) One thing it doesn't have that you could add to it for increased immersion that won't break the bank is adding a set of Buttkicker's to the rig so you get more of that 'seat of your pants' feel. Great video!
Austin walking out of the car with racing gloves carrying his helmet 😍. He's about to spend a bunch of money on his car isn't he
Absolutely love the production value on this video!!
I love the drone shots. I'm guessing it was Joanna with her drone pilot's license because I sure as hell know it wasn't Matt or Ken lmao
Your car is sweet dude, love the RS3 with those slick BBS rims and your primer paint, 😂 but GT7 is better than the overly sim based I-racing, maybe try that in another video. Good stuff!! Happy Xmas!! 😅👍
I just watched Grand Turismo, and I absolutely loved it!!
Great Video!! Right On Time!!
✌️❤️
HAPPY XMAS AND MERRY NEW YEAR
The rig featured in this video is co-designed by Indianapolis 500 winner and IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan. Tony streams all the time on twitch (in Portuguese language, but he will interact with English speaking chatters in English) If sim racing interests you, II've been sim racing for around 20 years now (yes legit sims have been out that long) and I highly suggest iRacing and Assetto Corsa Copetitione for good multiplayer racing on PC, and you do NOT need a rig this extravagant to get started. You can buy a more simplistic wheel and pedal set that you can hook to a desk for around $200-500. Just figured I'd toss those few facts in for people who are at all curious. That being said, Austin, get a set of slicks to bolt on next time. Power is really nice, but GRIP is where lap time comes from. GREAT video.
Hey Austin, your not trash on the track... you just drive safer in real life, than in the game. Also, you don't have the color-changing Race Line in real life, which helps you shave off those extra seconds per lap.
Yeah, running assists in game and then do non-assisted runs on the track will inflate the difference for sure.
oOoOoo these microcenter videos are my favorite :D
I’ve watched your videos for years and I’ve been waiting to see it whether or not you still had the Audi RS3. You have to be like the only RUclipsr that has the same car from multiple years ago but it’s such a great car that it doesn’t even matter
You NEED to start a Car channel!
You should of thrown a set of racing tyres "or as close as you could get to racing tyres "
That could tack of 5 seconds on the track . Have yourself an awesome Christmas and new years Austin. 🎉🎉
Those Cup 2s are basically street legal racing slicks
Great video. Can't believe Jayztwocents haven't done a video like this before you 😂
Top Gear did,a couple of times,i think.
How does this not have a million views?
I’m telling ya… tech toober traak day with jay, beardedhardware, mkbhd, Greg, etc… we need it. And do it … at the Freedom Factory!! ❤
Finally car content, please give us more austin its brill
This perfectly matches where my money goes every day
Sick setup. Can't wait for Austin to try mma in real life and compare to the videogames, when the games are good again or someone else does them😂
I wish Microcenter came to vegas :( (We have no giant PC stores, Fry's was the last one)
The Grand tourismo film proves you can do it if you have the talent, Jann Mardenborough made it happen in real life and in game.
Add a VR headset, even with my low end using my headset makes me feel more like I am actually there and most driving games already support VR
Wow id expect Austin to drive something like a model 3 not a 500whp rs3 that's super cool.
Well when it comes to the race car vs the road car. Gearing in the transmission, the clutch, the weight, the tire, and engine specs are going to be very very different, and the tuning as well. The Racecar version of your car would burn way more fuel for the same distance than your street car. Only way I could see comparing it to the RL street car, would have a sim of the street car itself, with the specs matching for those particular details.
yes exactly this is the only way to get a true comparison. i dont think he would have been 10 whole seconds behind the sim if the sim car was the exact same spec as his rl street car
Most sims also use optimal weather and track conditions. Reality has a lot of potential to be slower
Here's the problem with this. In a racing sim you'll drive as hard as you can because there's no fear of crashing, etc. On the track in real life you won't drive as hard as you possibly could drive thay car around the track because you lack the experience
Ive been on those track and i also have an rs3 great choices 😅😅. what suspension setup do you have?
We definitely need more track day videos n some more auto videos from u.
you could add ballast to the car in the sim or you can also limit the power delivery in the sim to even it out.
willow springs? i was waiting for a donut cameo, lol!
the sim rig feels better because you would have alot more feel in your RS3 with a good alignment but you can't get that without at a minimum new top hats on your car. Audi doesn't allow camber adjustment so replacement top hats is how you get that and can replicate the feel of the sim race car. Also tires
Microcenter should highly consider opening one store in Mumbai, India
I've had a few racing setups, including my current one with a full on seat that I use in VR. IMO nothing is going to even come close to the real thing, you just don't get the feel, the jostling around, getting thrown back in your seat, the adrenaline when you are going 120+ mph. Plus I have NEVER driven a wheel that is anywhere near accurate to a real car, it's like the programmers never drove a real car in their life. Things like deadzones or having to steer too much or too little to turn and not scaling depending on your speed.
do this with the Donut guys
LETS GO EVANS GOOD CONTENT
Man that Audi tho !
If you want to check out someone going from sim racer to real world, I'd suggest Jimmy Broadbent :)
very cool video👍👍
I'm surprised the fov police didn't turn up 😂
Austin needs to have a colab with Donut Media. Setup vs track time since they have more track experience it would be probably and better fight in times
I wish cars actually had joysticks.
Imagine how easy it would be to get your license.
This is cool Austin! Micro Center is great!
Austin you need got some good taste in cars the bbs on your Audi is fire
As someone who's been driving for 25 years nothing gets close....fun but not even close.
Jeremy clarkson made a video like thi before eith a ps2, gran turismo, and laguna seca.
I forgot the car he used
I want a sick racing setup but can't afford I just want like a wheel and pedals just to get started.
You can build your own rig for $100 easily out of 2x4's. plywood, and a used (usually free) seat. I believe it was Inside Sim Racing that did this the video is called 'DIY Sim Racing Rig for under $100 by Inside Sim Racing'. I built one myself years ago that is still holding up with minimal skills and tools. They also did one built from 80/20 profile tubing and another one with PVC pipes. The best part of the DIY route is you can adjust everything to your specific needs and size then add pieces to it as you go.
more power on a track doesnt make it faster, comes down to suspension and driver 😂
Remember that any race you walk away from is a good race. At least you did not damage your car, only your pride.
I'd still gap you. Haha only joking...im so jealous that you had this opportunity, both with the pro sim set up and the track day. Nice work.
Amazing 🎉
Bro couldn't even rent a race car for the video 😢
I feel like I was watching the old Top Gear videos!
Exactly would love to see more of this stuff.
Should have tested out some baseline things like:
-Timing a short part on the straight away of both sim and real life, to see if there is a huge time difference [Maybe the sim has a power limiter that could even the times a bit]
-Verified stopping distance on the straight
-Check the cars actual curb weight vs the sims curb weight [Power to weight ratio makes a huge difference, sim race cars may have weight reductions]
-Verify the sim race car has 0 modifications including aero
-Confirm that the real life tires are at the very least in the same category rating as the sim tires. Race slicks will clock in way faster times on the same car.
Good job ❤❤❤🎉
thanks for a fresh new video idea austin love to see it
He needs a bigger rear wing on his car like the one in the sim, the downforce in reality of his car aint generating enough, but he is using a race version in the sim at the end of the day tho
@donut collab in the future? 🤔
I hope i can get a good setup for my ps5 since ATL doesn’t really have a micro center
That rig is pretty expensive. But you can get that immersive screen set up for a fraction of the price. Instead of using screens, use a VR headset. It would be significantly cheaper than getting a rig that can hold 3 screens, and 3 screens. Still expensive though
Honestly you’re not wrong. If you are not rich and really want to get into racing and car stuff. It’s prolly very close to the real thing buying the sim racing set up. Plus like you could always build or make your car more tuned up as you get extra money in real life. The issue with racing and doing track days is the tire replacement is outrageous for the average person as well as 🤷♂️ are you track driving your daily? Or do you have enough money to upkeep and have a car for racing?
I think for most people 3k-7k on sim racing is the way to go for the most real experience that you can literally practice and do on a daily or weekly basis like every weekend and not go broke. I mean most people could prolly only hit the track at most once every few months realistically

this gaming setup is more expensive than my car
Shout out to my local Tustin MC!
There’s so much more difference between ur street car And a purpose built race car, tires, weight, suspension all play into it a 1:38 isn’t a lap time seeing tires and suspension/brakes could make up that 10 seconds pretty quick.
U need to test drive bmw m car on track and experience rwd sliding in corners... Thats best feeling ever.
Why aint i surprised Austin is a Audi guy kekekek
Obviously held back by the lack of down force on the back end and tires lol
I like the part when he raced
Austin going for the next "Need For Speed" movie!
Should have been the same car in the iRacing game 😊
Next time you go back to the track, add a spoiler to your Audi. I bet you can shave some time off your laps with decent downforce.
I think with better tires and more practice it’s possible. Put more mods on the Audi. But all and all this was a great video.
Psvr2 with a motion rig with gt7 its absolutely insane, my experience with assets corsa 2 on pc with a similar setup is underwhelming, but I only have a 3080ti I'm sure it's better with a 4090
do you mean assetto corsa competezione when you said assetto corsa 2 ?
Jeremy Clarkson did the same thing on Top Gear years and years ago in the old NSX and couldn’t even get close to his time on a PS2.
you saw the gran turismo movie too huh
Why is the sim setup still with a screen and not a VR headset?
So, austin is a noob in real world too 😂😂
forgot to add a chair that make you feel the road
This is a dream of mine. F1 or Forza/GTA using a sim set up would be incredible.
Here's the simple thing about cars that nobody ever seems to learn for whatever reason. You can have 300, 500, 1000hp, you name it, but its not sh*t without good tires. Power is WORTHLESS if you don't have proper grip. Tires can and will make or break your entire car build.
This would be a cook experiment with a racing driver.
For example with Jeremiah Burton from @Donut
Hey, VR is the way to go with sim!
Honestly you should try racing in vr
They need to make another collab with donut media
Great video Austin!
Austin why is your neck so red in this video 😂
Austin you should have pro racer drive your car to see if they can pull the 1:26
When is the Donut media x Austin Evans collab coming
You really should have done a psvr2 rig. 😉👌. Cool vid though
Price aside, that's what I was thinking with regards to immersion. Limits them on system, power, and probably game though
Austin, you're a tech guy, do you know about this product? POGA Yez
VAG gang!!! What’s your Mods Austin. Car looks amazing!!
Well, I don't want the most powerful PC anymore. I've got one for almost 7 thousands dollars when the 3090 came out. I don't want to keep on that way anymore. Since I became dad, I'm now intro handheld consoles.
I have both pc and pc handheld definitely the way
You way overpaid for that but I get the sentiment.
@@TheDragonfriday 'll keep my desketop PC. It's still good. I'm looking forward to getting a new handheld console. I'll wait next year for a better console than the Rog Ally or Steam Deck Oled. Something more powerful with an Oled screen, would be cool.
@@bradtraq1 I agree.
Lmao I was like why do I want a handheld so bad.. but I do have a 2 year old so it makes sense
When did the is500 get traded for rs3
