iRacing vs. Assetto Corsa

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 👌

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.

IRacing: NOOO!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT CARS DONT SLIDE! HARDER = MORE REALISTIC!!1!1

Assetto Corsa: Haha car go sideways

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.

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.

Just watched a video the other day of Josef Newgarden (2019 Indycar champion) saying exactly that about iRacing.

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

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.

5:40 sums up iracing in 2 seconds "iracings curve is an isosceles triangle." 😂😂👍 Nailed it!

THANK YOU for your salty take. iRacing always makes me feel like an awful driver at the limit.

I'm the best player, driver and the best musician on earth.

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.

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!

[JohnBaxendale]

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.

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.

[funked]

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.

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.
