This past week saw the release of one of the most anticipated iRacing updates in 15 years, the release of their new Tempest weather system, finally bringing RAIN to the platform!

Let's dive head-first into a wet race around the Nordschleife while we chat about what the experience is like, both good and bad!

You really have tuned that cockpit setup up well for content, looks even better with rain! Perfect colour grading..

[karloy]

I was the car in front of you, was curious if you were recording it ;-)

[RyanBedecki]

Mind blowing, all of your hyper-realistic videos are, but sheeesh! I've never seen iracing look so good!

[banditsco]

That sensation where the puddle pulls your vehicle in the direction of the puddle you hit is super important in my opinion. Like you, I’ve never driven a GT3 in real life so I’m not 100% qualified but I do live in a place where it never stops raining so I know what it feels like to drive (and almost die) in the rain. Everything you said about that topic I can agree with

[AaronJay]

They will be updating rain lights. They posted it on X 👍🏾

[Brunnen_Gee]

I'm _loving_ the wet racing. I'm so much more competitive in it than on dry. My driving style seems naturally suited to it. I don't normally win road races, I think to date I have one win in an official road race. This is largely due to my more passive racing style. But since the rain update? I've won three races, two at Nords in GT3, one at Spa in LMP2.

[marekzuckerberg]

insane! absolutely insane! Your skill, the setup, the game, the modifications shown, mindblowing!!!

[banditsco]

One detail I would like to see is the observers (crowd) all using umbrellas! That would be a super nice touch haha

[arr]

A friend of me with A LOT of experience racing on wet says before EXACTLY what you say about the unrealistic behavior over the puddles. Well done Will!

[elbowsout]

I had a heart rate stress test done last week and they elevated my HR to 145 bpm on a treadmill during that. It was fascinating watching your HR during this race. It held around 140 for most of the race then jumped to 153 when you had your first spin.

[Casketman]

Racing in the rain is a game changer no doubt. TK loves it and I believe he had a hand in helping with this and Danial Morad says it's very realistic with how the car reacts and how tracks look in the rain. Stay off the rubber line until the last second and avoid puddles.

[kdis]

If they postponed the release of rain, would that be considered a "rain delay"

[kbrizy]

This was awesome. And man, I drool over your rig. I may be able to treat myself to such in not too long. But great driving -- you're a formidable opponent for sure.

[goldenboy]

man, his sim racing set up is very awesome! he needs more subs like fr

[TheVRRacer]

Great video as always Will. That section was quite tricky last week in the rain. I was really impressed at how seamlessly this massive update was integrated into iRacing. Cant think of another game/sim with a major update like this working this well straight out the gate. Sure...some improvements to the spray are needed but I'm sure they will come over the next few weeks. All in all I think this was a massive win for iRacing!

[commando_bunnie]

That setup is absolutely beautiful. You definitely still have room to push i was running 7:28s pretty consistently but there was room for more you just have to push the pedal and hope for the best.

[BW_]

I think once the rain lights and spray have been adjusted it’ll be better to race but to just drive it’s fantastic!

[ichizos]

Info regarding Rain Lights. iRacing talked about this issue. They stated it will be work on but it is related with their Game Engine and to fix that they need to update Engine as well so it will take some time till we see it. Nonetheless it is an issue there will be working on to give better visibility as the leading car has increadible advantage as of now.

[MoiDj]

Dang, wasn't expecting that twist in the end! 😅 Good showcase Will.
Cheers.

[EritoKaio]

Ive never been so tempted to try iracing. I really need to figure out a better mounting for my pedals. Mine are only staying in place by a box between them and the wall behind and I've had them suddenly get yeeted under heavy braking haha
