REAL CAR vs IRACING: IS IT CLOSE?

This is a side-by-side video comparison of a real life lap and an iRacing lap at Circuit of the Americas in the Mercedes-AMG GT3. I walk through the performance of braking, mid-corner and on-throttle performance and how it compares and how it can be improved.

Great comparison, very interesting to hear from a driver who has done the real thing. Great stuff!

[richardople]

Blows my mind how exact your line and brake points are irl and iRacing. The feedback and critical insight you give towards the game is what will make all sims strive for that realism we're all looking for, thank you for that!
So cool seeing your channel grow mate, you're gonna blow up especially given your credentials. You've got a real teaching spirit about you :) MoradGoVroom!

[Grizzleteed]

Love the real world comparisons. There are a ton of simmer videos out there, but not too many that have your real world experience and can share that with us. Keep up with the real world info for us! :)

Nice video again man, you're gonna grow big. The real life comparison concept is nice, because not that many people are qualified at making such videos. And for an iracer who cannot afford to go racing irl, it's fascinating to know how real is your sim. 😃

[braun]

This was fantastic! Been waiting for a pro to make this comparison for a while. Love your unbiased approach.

[DanSuzuki]

It's crazy how much more you have to work on the wheel IRL compared to the sim.

[ptahplz]

Been waiting for a video like this for years; to have a comparision between sim racing and irl racing from an accomplished pro driver who is also a serious sim enthusiast is invaluable to so many people. Thanks for all you do and growing the sport, can't wait for the next video!

MORAD GO VROOM!! AWESOME videos!! Looking forward to a video like this on ACC. Would love it if you went right down the line and also did this for AC, RF2, AMS2, and RaceRoom.

[marcbecker]

Morad go First of all, there are not so many real racers sharing the sim vs real experience. You have the privilege that most of us never will have and you explain everything without any airs and graces. Thank you Daniel, keep on publishing clips 🙌

My first impression watching the split screen video comparison is how much the real car shakes around compared with iRacing. It's not just visually but you can hear the engine revs skipping from wheelspin as the tyres jump over the kerbs. Also you see the steering being affected by these bumps and making it impossible to be as smooth in real life. Fantastic video by the way, it's the most in depth comparison I've ever seen!

[marcinborysiewicz]

ACC driver here. After watching some of your videos I decided to finally give iRacing a go and I am loving it so far. Although the tires in iRacing are not as developed as in ACC, I can totally agree that brakes feel much better, especially when you come off the brakes.

[sprintermaximus]

Dude. So appreciate this. I dance between ACC and iracing a ton. It's always great to see the comparison from a pro driver. What I like to see is the direct comparisons like this video but also comparisons across simulators alike. I typically prefer ACC due to being a die-hard GT3 fan, but I feel I racing has a leg up in some areas as explained here. Thanks for these.

[edwardblom]

I love the split screen comparison, very nice! Some more movement in the steering wheel in real life but very accurate with braking points and what not! Impressive. Love your videos man! 👍🏼

[aeg_music]

Saw you on COTA earlier this year, happy to find the channel!

[Mike-ey]

Man, I just started in iRacing and really wanted this exact video from a pro like you! Coming from ACC everything feels so slippery!

[bangersallday]

Great video! I was in Detroit today watching the GT4 race and quickly realized you were not only in the race, but you were leading. Congrats on the win!

[greatwall]

As a mediocre sim racer, I have no right to comment about how different sim titles feel. What I want to hear is another PRO driver's opinion or any real life race driver.

[TheKougar]

Morad go vroom. Loving the channel so far! I just discovered it from a Reddit comment and made the connection that you were the guy I just saw win the GT4 race at Detroit last weekend. Congrats on the win man!

[bluex]

Morad go vroom! Thanks for the videos, exactly what I (and I think many others) have been looking for - someone who does this in real life, who really knows what's going on, sharing his knowledge and helping sim racers improve. Awesome stuff.

[sapefley]

Morad go VROOM.

As someone who is new to sim racing and a new fan of GT racing, you've quickly grown to become one of my favorite drivers. I watched the COTA races the other day and loved the half orange half black livery on your car and then I found your channel and you seem like a really cool person as well. Good luck in Virginia!
