The Nurburgring In The Wet Is Terrifying - iRacing Rain Update 

Can't wait til that happens irl and sh*t myself.

Imagine leading in an endurance race here and just passed the pit entrance and the rain starts to come down. 7-8 minutes tippytoeing round whilst those behind had the chance to pit!

"Yeah you see the Golf won that because...well I lost control. That's what happened there." - Someone

Jimmy: I'm interested how AI handles in the rain AI: can't take the first corner in the dry...

14:55 we needed a trackside view reply from that

This was tremendously satisfying to watch. I'm glad the iRacing folks took their time and implemented rain right, rather than just doing a quick cosmetic addition.

*jimmy doing good in this race* Rain: “I’ll get you next time broadbent!”

Even if you're not an iRacer, you will benefit from this in the future because rain-wise it seems like it will be the standard that other sims will be measured against and hopefully aspire to.

I was there flagging you at Post 110 when the rain started that NLS race and even we just saw the clear sky in any direction except above us :D

Jimmer knows he lookin good in that polo

2:20 one of my favorite parts about taking roadtrips, is getting to see all the weather!

they need to update the spectators to bring out their ponchos

Multiclass is going to be wild in the rain

Dude that one area where it had a river running down has me hyped.

I hope every time it rains in a formula race everyone has to sit around in the lobby for an hour just for the race to get red flagged like in real life

This looked so fun! Looking forward to the challenge. Thanks for all the Tempest preview content Jimmer!

Hoooooly craaap that last braking zone was amazing! iRaining looks so good

I love the fact that puddles forming around the track and can even turn into rivers. It also shows all the imperfections of the Nordschleife.

I'm constantly amazed at how far sim racing has come. I can't believe we're at Project Cars 2 levels already

My respect for you Jimmy increases with every video I watch and I admit a little bit jealous of the opportunities you have to drive these cars in real life, thanks for all the awesome content you provide for us!

cant wait to see jimmer race in VR with rain ! spray looks incredible

This was such a pleasure to watch! Really enjoyed seeing you reading the road and giving your feedback 😊

Jimmer, I adore the Lupus Nocte music in your videos! An awesome, very fitting choice!

Brian Rainville is a good name for this race.

You know its a good day when Jimmer uploads

SWEET!! I was getting ready to upgrade to Moza soon... I for sure buy through your site. Love your channel !

I worked out what looks wrong about the wet tarmac - it doesn't darken as it gets wet. As the spray was starting to be thrown up, the track *looked* bone dry because it was still the same brightness as before the rain.

I went to goodwood revival last year. During the E-type/Cobra race, there was a very sudden downpoor after a very dry weekend... that caught even the best drivers off guard - i couldnt believe the chaos as i saw car after car drive off the track right in front of me - looked up on the screen and saw cars exit the track on the opposite side aswell

Theres going to be a lot of lower ranked/rating races that end in disaster and alot of angry people. Probably alot of good material for crash/racing stewards videos though.

This looks very interesting! It seems like wet track conditions are very detailed on the ring. I wonder if they can simulate different weather on multiple sections where on part is wet while some other part stays dry. That often happens on the nordschleife.

This rain update really peaks my interest in this game

Can't wait for the videos of you driving stuff like this with actual other people.

that was awesome! definitely a fun drive :D

This is so cool! This rain looks like not rain. it`s snow!

The only thing missing is honestly the partial weather you mentioned, where on some parts of the track the rain is heavy and on others there is non at all

love the puddles on a 45 degree incline that are static lol

Imagine you driving the real 24 Hours and its not raining, no, its Snow !! Nice Video

I have fun in the rain there, although the 3 trees section is where im always slow because i gets scared to push through there

Cant believe you survived at the end there, swore you were done lmao

Welcome to Seattle driving, nice job.

As someone who only watches iracing this update is exiting for me too. Just more factors in the race, a pretty big one too. Ive never seen rain integrated so well

Your videos are very entertaining! 😀

Nice catch on the Dottingham!

I really neeed to get myself a racing wheel, this looks hella fun.

iRacing have done a really awesome job implementing the rain. I am very glad they took their time to get it right and didn't rush things. I am by no means an experienced sim racer, but the car behaves exactly as I would expect. I can hop into a rainy session and just start driving. It's great.

Impressive driving Jimmy, awesome to see you being able to commentate while you're driving!! That's very cool. I don't have iRacing on my account... Should I get it?

Nice to see this new feature in iRacing. As a british driver, you certainly have an advantage about dealing with wet conditions😉

I feel like the reason it took so long to push this update was the fact that they were fine tuning the behavior and such. All in all a great update to the game

Today I learned “slippy” is a technical term. Can’t wait to get home from work and try this, going to add like a dozen different dimensions to normal races

Can't wait to see how it looks at night

Can't wait to see an endurance race!

I have never played iRacing, it's only ever been a spectator thing for me watching yourself, Jimmy, but this is undoubtedly very cool. It's not a graphically astounding game overall (it's not the point, obviously) but they've done a stunning job with the lighting and water physics here - the water puddles on the track look 👌

Jimmo & the good ol nurgyburgy

The feeling is quite realistic, but not dark enough. And you see the puddles better than irl. But I liked my first lap tonight on the heavy rain Nordschleife.

great video!!

I would like to see a race in the wet with all the content creators, it would be chaotically epic

This update will be awesome❤

I don't have iRacing but after this I might have to get it. The fact that iRacing simulates the actual weather system that creates the rain (and also seems to do a great job with water accumulation/dispersion) is exactly what I've been wanting for so long in other sims.

That looks good ,ties in with my experience that slicks don't lose grip until they lose temperature, and that usually happens after a straight. As long as there are corners and light rain, tyres generate heat, which dries the track, so the car behind can generate heat, then there is a straight, and at the end of it the rain has cooled tyres, so you have no grip, and cannot dry the circuit, and then you need wet tyres, you never recover from that. However visibility is often worse than in iRacing. The spray landing on the windscreen seems minimal, but is real life can be torrential - think more like hosepipe hosepipe on the glass.

The Green Hell is the best trackof the world. Rain is so scary with the track having different grip every curve

That looks like the swamp realm on Acceleracers🤣

They look to have made a great job. Eau Rouge should be fun too 😂

This will be interesting at night time

Id love to see you in the IRX sessions again! And maybe even get you into the NASA RX league! We got some fast guys that I'm sure would love to race against you!

Did you have the track rubbered up before the race or did you start green? Might be why you were able to take more traditional lines. Only one lap of rubber to wash off

iRacing to a new level , clearly

12:46 didnt know chad knaus started driving lol

This is officially the first time I've purchased something from a company a youtuber advertised...a pair of customized gloves.

Yaaaaaay!!! Now do one the other way. From wet to dry =D

0:57 AHAHAHA, I actually thought exactly that

interesting to see if you can set half of the circuit have heavy rain and other half is completely dry and sunny

Jimmer.. I recently started streaming because of you, you shexy Beashed! ;)

Absolute carnage in online is what I'm expecting 😂

Windscreen raindrop whiping animation needs work though :)

Amazing 😮

Much prefer a style like this to one of your more recent videos. More intense and "funny" editing can have a place, but it can get in the way of Jimmy and the actual content, which imo is much more interesting and important with slower and more deliberate pacing

I’m glad they took this long to get it this good before releasing it

Looks like if you have good car control this is a blast that’s me screwed then 😂

So close to 1,000,000

Do we know if the rain is "all circuit" or is it possible to get rain in only parts of the circuit? For example have a 15 minute rain shower on half the track and the rest remain dry the entire session? :)

jimmy knew to be offline and now he has a tire. got to search for water in dry areas now

I could only imagine you doing a 24HOURS Le Mans with transitional WEATHER finally for the next year 😁

Does it just put rain tires on automatically if you pit in rain? Or do you have to specify this somewhere?

New collision in use

Yaaaaaas, Jimmy!

would love to know if two drivers are at different ends of ring to see if rain rate is exact same for both or not

LMU/rF2 got range and non-transparent cars in pits ;)

i feel like the visual clearance of the track between part that very wet (puddle) vs not very wet in this game are the best compare to other racing game.

Jimmers please do a video showing how the track dries through a session!!!

Got to wonder how iRacing handles greasy conditions, i.e. intermediate tyre territory. If it's anything like my experience at Whilton Mill one year, it'll get slippery AF on slicks

True, should be more drops when going fast and less when slow.

I hope they add tire spray to float arouhnd the air a little

5:25 IT'S REAAAAAL

I really want to see you do an online race with transitioning weather, it would be interesting watching how real players decide to deal with it

Looks great but the visual transition of the track is much better with live track 3.0

I would love to see a NASCAR Race on a Super Speedway in the rain on this game

Bro what a setup, BUT what dont you have triple screens?😅

Dude, I'm downloading iRacing right fucking now!

i’m interested to see if when the track has 0% usage it’s got the same grip on and off the racing line

14:55: little bit of wee came out.
