WOW!

Niceee. I was wondering how much of a coincidence it was when iRacing got Motegi and GT5 received it (or will most probably receive) soon after. Now iRacing have Bathurst, perhaps them rumours for it being in GT5 have a bit more meaning?

 

[Coxis]

Great news! I have to give iRacing some credit; at first I thought they were heavily biased toward ovals (yuck) but they're giving the road side some love as well.

Awesome news! Now I need to master the Super V8! Although the McLaren would be pretty sweet arround there too!

Nice to see iRacing extend the catalogue, this is awesome news for the V8 guys 👍

I'm marginally more excited by The Rock though, but that's partly to do with the fact I mainly race on the oval side of the sim.

Wow, can't wait to try that track out. By the sounds of it we are looking at least 15-18 months. Thanks for the link Derek.

Can't wait to finally get signed up for iRacing! 15 months is a long ways away, but it will give me time to practice!

It's news like this that makes me really feel bad about neglecting my road license as I work up the oval ranks.

Thats what I'm trying to do now. The V8 so far has been a very tricky car to turn quick and consistent laps in. Especially at Sebring.

Bathurst getting added to iRacing is just freaking awesome! I think any car will be fun around this track. Its one of those tracks I will probably spend countless hours trying to master.👍

Loving life! Awesome news for a V8 competitor like myself. Been a long time coming... Looking forward to Oran Park too!

 

[Imari]

Yeah, this is great news. I can see it being a somewhat dangerous track for one's safety rating, but it will be great nonetheless.

I hope they have a Bathurst 1000 event.

 

[Patrocles]

nice! I will buy any and all roadracing content to support iracing.

+1,000,000 to that! Would be a great World Tour event.👍

 

[noshog]

Awesome news 👍. I wouldn't complain if they delayed other announced content to concentrate on Bathurst first (well Mclaren first then Bathurst).

This is me at Mount Panorama in GTR2, it was alot of fun. I recommend it to anyone who owns GTR2 to download this track and car and give it a go.

How are the old OTM setups working on the V8?

How are the old OTM setups working on the V8?

I tried an old setup at Phillip Island and it wasn't too bad. Iirc all I had to do was adjust the ride height because it was failing tech. Ultimately though, I didn't end up using the set. Even though it worked, it wasn't quick enough for me and a bit unpredictable.

 

[Jav]

Yeah, same for me. Although it worked better for me than the one I fond on the forums...

 

[Froudeybrand]

was just informed about this through a facebook post hahahaha

found a few scans...
