...well that's 4 laps faster than my qualifying lap......including one on worn tires nearly 4 seconds faster... I need to learn how to qualify. LOL Follow me like a stalker! (please dont actually stalk me... duh) / emptybox_007
Yes - which ever Glacier Racing driver that was they should be ashamed. Especially after the storm one of their drivers whipped up the other week in the forums about the driving standards of another driver. Pot meet Ketle.
Some people have the wrong reaction and think people on track should move out of their way. Others including myself think I better move my f*cking ass! to get out of the way of other drivers or just stay to the side
Thats some fucking superb driving Matt. I even had the Tunnel Feeling (The Senna one). During the fourth lap I noticed my head tilting during the cornes LOL
That track is always impressive when driven well. Kudos to the three of you. And the leader, before he lost it. And there's probably 1/2 second or more to be gained here too. Nice!
I've seen so many guys going 2 wide at the Schwedenkreuz. It's physically not possible dudes! Don't try it. Some guys need to stop thinking this is a normal race track. First race the track here, not the other cars. Matt I really enjoyed this video!
Oh that last lap push is edge of the seat intense. Between the early shift to 5th going into the last straight and then that very late brake thereafter... Wow! Great stuff!
Wow, with no commentary.. We can sit here and just admire the racing. This was some awesome lapping! You've also just sold me on the porsche. Wasn't planning to get it buuut I guess now I am lol. Thanks!
At 10:50 , in my experience, usually I can tell how the car will handle that corner right before I turn the wheel as I'm sure you can as well. What I find helpful when I can sense the car is about to understeer is apply 20-30% throttle and that helps point the car in the right direction. Usually braking helps with these kinds of situations better but this corner is an odd one and you just have to know what your suspension is telling you. Love your videos as always.
Commentary is important - that's what makes the videogame racing videos more interesting to watch than onboard videos of real racing. Without the emotions, jokes, opinions and other commentary from the driver, it's not very interesting to watch unless you are a big fan of the driver for some reason. I watch for entertainment and hearing the driver talk is a big part of it.
You know, I've been wondering. Why the hell does splinter camo work on literally any car? Even if it doesn't wrap properly it works! This car/track combo is fantastic though. I seriously can't get enough out of it, it's like a drug in that regard. Can't wait for the VLN races this year!
Agni Astor iracing released a pic of 2 guys trying the super dirt latemodel on Twitter :) they definitely made the screens visible and just look at that shine of the track!
Empty Box I'm going to be doing the world 100 on iracing with the Latemodels. Going to be fun. I'm already signed up for the sprintcar league and the super latemodel league lol. I'll do the Latemodels then move on to the next after the World 100. That's my plan atleast. Hope to someday race you on dirt!
Great driving! You nail the driving line very nice which is very hard in this circuit. Next step is to spend a vacation in Nurburg, get an instructor, rent a car...
You would have got second if you hadn't lost traction in a couple spots coming off the turns. That was a sweet lap for sure. Must feel great to run a lap like that, with me if I'm pointing in the right direction and not crashed into the wall, I've had a great lap on that track. Love the track though. Those curves that have the grove to run in down low, I can't stay down in them at all. I try but it bouncy right up out of them. Great race, from start to finish.
The corners you mean are called the Carousel and the Little Carousel (actually the Karussell and Kleines Karussell), they're a pain in the ass to stay in when you first start learning, just take it easy on the gas and hold it steady, if you try to correct too much or put the foot down while you're in the Carousel you're going to have a bad time.
Would you say there are any noticable differences in this version of the track compared to the AC version? Of the laser scanned ones I've only driven it in AC and a couple of corners look slightly different judging by this video, but I guess it might just be the vegetation around the track that's doing it. Anyway great video as always, keep up the good work!
It's the vegetation. There are some differences in how you have to drive due to the physics - eg that one right hander before Whippermann (sp? - I think that's the corner at least) where you eat all of the curb in AC because the cars just does not care at all, whereas you need to be slightly more careful over that curb in particular in iR / R3E's versions.
Is this version of the Nordschleife laser scanned? Because it looks quite a bit different in some parts to the version from Project Cars. Oh and btw. what are your thoughts on the GTR3 announcement?
Hi, I was wondering how you setup the car. I really struggle to get the car turning and basically understeer whenever I can. I tried multiple setups from the setup shop but even there the setups go both extremes. Also I notice how you really feedrelease the brake, however that doesn't seem to be the trick for my car to steer in to a corner... Any tips?
can i ask after watching a lot of your videos how you are able to drive "balls to the wall" behind the driver? most time i do this and those drivers end up braking too early and i hit them OR the other way around someone drives to close to me and tail ends me...
William Wu You have to give up your knowledge of the track and drive based off them. when i am tucked under somebodys bumper, im not worried about passing until i learn how they drive. im just following and watching, making mental notes to use.
Really could be any little thing that makes you slower in qualifying. It is a hugelong track, after all, so 4 seconds isn't really that much at all. Plus, you spend the majority of the race in slipstream. Seems to me, you're doing perfectly fine in qualifying, the only thing being that you're just not an alien.
So this is laser scanned? I wanna buy a lisence for a month just for this track but i wont if its not possible to use every car in a singleplay session on it. Is that possible like to test the cars and practise because i am a total racing noob
If you purchase the content yes, you can always launch a solo session. But if you want just this track I suggest you look at Assetto Corsa, Race Room Racing Experience. Both of those feature a laser scanned Nords that is just as good. You could throw Project CARS 2 in there as well (technically scanned but IMO - and others who have driven the track - it doesn't feel as well made as the others) I wouldn't suggest iRacing for just one track or whatever, it's really at it's best in competition. If that isn't what you are ready for yet, there are better titles on the market for you.
Isn't it a bit ironic(hello Alanis Morissette) that you misspelled the track's name in the video title? :P Btw: It got it's name from the (ruined) castle&town of Nürburg close by, but you might have known that already. Another fun fact: "Nuremberg" is the English name of "Nürnberg", which is where ther Norisring is located Now that would be QUITE a difference :D
Hmm, car and steering wheel moves look way closer to real life footage than the same from AC. No feel of car floating over the road or sliding on some sort of grease at least.
im guessing weather makes a huge difference here, did a 6:54.6 in a private test last week with default weather, this week 7:00:6 in a official session it adds up over a lap. felt pretty fast too, 2nd out of like 35 people too bad the fastest time was a 54.6 hahaha so far off
Might still be a matter of familiarity but I still find the RUF GT3 more predictable on this track. Getting used to the new Porsche on smoother tracks isn't bad though.
6:48 For some unknown fricken reason, that turn right there shuts down whatever part of my brain that controls driving ability. I don't get it because I see no one else on planet earth finding it such a bitch.
it was a pain in the old Mazda if I recall correctly and it's still a pretty hard section. It comes with practice. You brake and downshift one or two gears (depending on the car) and then drive through it. The weight has to be on the back, don't try to brake too much in the turn, that will F your balance up. EDIT: it really depends on the car if you brake longer or get on the gas sooner, but your inputs have to be very careful to not upset the car.
Added precision, proper scaling, more confidence as you have proper scaling and everything falls into the place your brain knows it should be even when it's off screen.
Since the games use different engines the graphics and perception will look different, wether the tracks are identical or not I'm not sure - but I'd assume they are both laser scanned.
The accuracy of laser scanning shouldn't make a visual difference though? Wouldn't that mean it would be WAY more precise to make that huge of a difference? What's the point in laser scanning to begin with if your margin of error is up towards several inches. Also, are you sure that the dev teams themselves went out and scanned the tracks? Wouldn't it be alot more convenient to get this done through a third party? I don't know much about this - thus my curiosity.
B Faria I think AC has longer grass which makes the track less visible in places. The downhill hairpin section in AC looks completely different though.
Doesn't matter. Unless the game comes out and is some sort of gift from the sim racing gods, nothing. No need for me to do it and it's not something I particularly feel excited for.
It's less powerful, fewer assists (IRL they have ABS as an option up to the series the car is running in), worse tires, worse aero - it's "not even close" to a GT3 car. It produces lap times a few seconds slower.
too many donkey driver in this serie right now. everybody want to drive the Porsche, but only feu really know how to drive it before going on a race. especially on the nordschleife.
i guess you could had a better setup for this race... I saw in the final of the second lap, that you had the slipstream and cound't close the gap for the car in front, so your 6th gear was too short... you was doing 176mph, so i guess if the 6 gear was long enough to bring the car close to the 200 mark you would be fine, and it would not slow you down the rest of the lap, because no where in the track you was able to use 6 gear other than in the main final strait, and after climb the hill. i saw too the car understeer a lot, and that should had ruin your tires for the last 2 laps. But other than that, was a good race, and good fun to watch. It's was a shame that the live commentary get ruined. But hope to see more of this track in your vid Box, maybe a fun race with indy cars should be interesting.
Matheus Linhares if you'd bothered to look at Box's first vid on this car (Oran Park) you'd notice the minimal tuning options available - no gear ratio adjustment is possible...
Empty Box yeah he's clueless. I think the big curb hit at 17:25 might damaged you a bit. I've made that same mistake numerous times this week and the steering always feels wonky after smashing that curb. Maybe it's just placebo.
You might see maaaaaarginally increased straight line speed. You'd also create more problems over the course of the lap, and still only see MAYBE a few MPH due to lower rolling resistance more than anything. The car is heavily gear limited on the straight and there is nothing you can do about it to make it not gear limited. (well, short of throwing max wing on it perhaps)
stop using dxtory. use shadowplay and record your mic with audacity. most games are heavy cpu bound, iracing is no different, and shadowplay uses your vga to record.
In what way? Just asking because I've used it often, both for recording gameplay + voice but also to broadcast with or without voice. I was actually about to recommend it when I heard you complaining about dxtory. Never had any issues. Enjoyed the video none the less! Close call at Pflanzgarten the first lap! Can't get enough of the Ring 👍🏻
it's not, and it's very light to record, not affecting gameplay because it's not using your cpu to encode the video. all done though gpu. the only downside it's it doesn't splint the audio channel like dxtory, but just use audacity to record your voice and sync with the video and gg.
I've had more audio desync issues due to variable framerate - and subsequently having to take a video into handbrake to fix it - than it's worth. This is literally down to a track in iRacing that has crap optimization more than anything. I've used pretty much everything over the years I've done this, there is a reason Shadowplay doesn't get used. I recorded the previous two races perfectly fine. :|
