      yeah seems super weird to not compare apples to apples, I guess there wasn't a 182 in the game? A GT86 seems a weird second best though, RWD not front FWD and with substantially more power. A much more interesting comparison would have been Alex in the sim and the Sim driver in the Clio IRL, but the sim guy seemed pretty put out just being at the track so I very much doubt he would have gloved up and potentially have lost by quite a wide margin.

  • @msp2896
    @msp2896 3 года назад +626

    The think the simulation is unrealistically fast, there were parts the sim was flooring it in third, virtually going straight over grass verges to cut the small corners
    Alex in real life couldn't do this, he'd catch the first patch of grass with one side and spin out or tail slap after correcting
    More physics need to be involved in the game, Alex's time, in a near 16 year old car not built for a track, was phenomenal

    • @mdo

You're also comparing a £500 direct drive wheel to one that is effectively £130 on sale using helical gears so yeah the difference is huge. What I'm saying is that you're not really missing out on the most important feedback during sim racing which provides information as to where and how the car is reacting, you just get a much more pronounced feel and detail when using a higher end wheel. You can 100% be competitive with a G29/920 and compete with people use CLS wheels and up. You also have to factor in that people just don't have nearly £2-3k to fork out on a sim rig so going for the most cost effective way which is essentially better pedals is a much bigger upgrade than a new wheel. Brake and throttle control is just as important as the wheel itself.

      Yeah bet he uses a sim cube or fanatec normally but for sponsor reasons had to use the G923 (Which is an overpriced rebrand of the g29)

    Please make a series on this car where still staying under 2 grand you make it go as fast as possible by selling old parts and removing weight such as a spare tire
    Bonus points if you gain those 7 seconds to beat the GT86

    Yer man is such a knob! Does anyone know if that guy has been given a try out in any of the formlae? If he was that good surely he’d be worth taking a chance on to give a drive and a bit of training? Bollox!
    There’s walls everywhere on that track. If he has an off it’s gonna hurt. Sim is nowhere near that type of balls! I like to think I’m quick but I wouldn’t be going as quick as him. Fair play to the guy! 👏👏👏
