I signed up for iRacing this weekend. They had a 2 months free trial. To be fair I hadn't had a chance to really get into it. I took a couple of the cars they give you for a test drive and I don't get it. The graphics are stone age compared to GT5 and on some of those oval tracks I didn't even know which way I was going or if I was even going the right way. Now I am sure there is more to it because of the popularity and maybe it is a physics thing not a graphics thing. Can anybody out there that plays both let me know the attraction to iRacing as compared to GT5? Maybe I am missing something.
I haven't played iRacing, but from what I've heard of the physics, I doubt that I would not enjoy it. I honestly dislike the visual attention to detail in GT at times because it seems to rob PD's time and prevent them from doing more important things.
The only reason I don't go all out and buy a true PC racing sim is because I've decided to dedicate my PC simming to flight sims, which I enjoy more than driving/racing sims. Flight sticks are expensive enough, I don't need to be worrying about having the latest HOTAS and driving rig lol.
