I have almost the full grid for 2021 for the VRC car.
The popularity of the RSS car this year is largely down to one really hard-working skinner, kyle.bloyd on RD.
His sheer volume of work skews the impression, I think.
I actually prefer the VRC car.
There's pros and cons to each version. I really like the sound and overall feel of the RSS version. The VRC model is probably a bit more accurate and also has a short oval version.I too also have almost all the 2021 skins. But yea the 2022 updates for the RSS is pretty nuts. I haven't driven the RSS car so I am not sure what the comparison is like the. VRC's prototypes have always been top notch as well as their old Trans-Am car. The new Formula Alpha is also amazing although I think the 2021 and 2020 Formula Hybrids from RSS are also amazing.
I feel like the VRC is easier to pick up and drive, RSS requires you to put more effort into setup.
Full 2021 skins are available on RD for VRC, btw. You just have to dig for them as they aren't in a full pack.
And I think a big reason the RSS version didn't get as much attention from skinners in 2020 and 2021 is the difficulty of working with the mapping. You can't just use Photoshop to work with the RSS Formula Americas - you have to use a 3D program as well.
On the flip side, it appears impossible to convert the VRC kn5 to FBX, making using a 3D program for the more difficult parts of that model impossible.
