Now I love me some Sim Racing. I know it’s an expensive habit that ultimately is cheaper than real life racing. But…c’mon…? Surely not?

“As for features, we have BIG NEWS! This release will fully implement the New Damage Model on ALL VEHICLES in the entire service! That’s right, every single car will now benefit from the improved physics and visual experience brought by using the New Damage Model. A few vehicles have received special attention with this release, including the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) and the NASCAR Trucks Series Trucks. The Porsche has been updated to the latest available technical specifications, while the NASCAR Trucks Series Trucks have received significant updates and improvements based on research performed in partnership with NASCAR, as well as extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.”

> A nostalgic racing game that combines the charm of classic retro style visuals with the thrill of international rally competitions.

It reminds me of Colin McRae Rally 2.0. What do you think?

> EA Sports WRC is due for its latest update, 1.9. Included in the update is a whole raft of changes to the 'Moments' mode as well as VR adjustments and career mode changes. The main headline of this update, however, is not positive. EA's anti-cheat will be included and is rumoured to break the game entirely for users on the Steamdeck. Time will tell if this is indeed the truth.

A screenshot from EA WRC of a Peugeot 205 with serious damage but continuing to drive on valiantly!

Absolute monster of a car. Twin turbo V8. The sound of it was and still is incredible. Only tried it out a few times on Project Cars 2 and regularly crashed 😂

Check out some on board footage here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OQVWvNIzVSc&t=147s&pp=ygUkUm9iIHNoZXJyYXJkIG1lcmNlZGVzIHNhdWJlciBvbmJvYXJk

For me, nothing comes close to the MG Metro 6R4 in EA WRC. There’s just something about how it just clicks with my driving style, along with that amazing sounding naturally aspirated V6. I can’t describe it, there’s just a mutual agreement between me and the car where it just works 🤣

Anyone else have a similar thing in other games or even EA WRC?

Here's a post! Check out what happens at the end. That black car got some karma for agressive racing..

**Well that escalated quickly. ** Welcome everyone! 58 new members in such a short space of time is mad, wasn't sure whether lemmy held many people with sim racing interest but- looks like I was wrong! Feel free to post all things sim racing and sim racing. The whole idea behind this was to have an active space where we get to discuss this stuff!

Thank you for joining, and welcome!

Happy racing. Anyone got any clips of their gameplay to post?

This is some incredible quality onboard video of Oliver Solberg (yes, son of Petter Solberg!) absolutely owning the Sweet Lamb stage of Wales Rally. I don’t think there’s much other on board footage that comes close to this one in terms of quality that gives us an insight into what those old school rally cars drove like.

Hats off to Oliver here, driving it like a man possessed and not missing a beat- also in manual as well! It always saddens me somewhat when they put sequential gearbox into these classic rally cars.

> Richard Burns Rally turns 20 at the start of July. With a title that has had such a monumental impact on the world of rallying in sim racing, what better way to look back at where the title started before the mods came into play...

What sim racing games are you all playing these days? Here's a few of my current favourites: EA WRC BeamNG.Drive

First post into this community and I'll shamelessly post my own video of me talking about one of Group B greats - driven by me in EA WRC!
