Driving 2009 ZR1 in GT5. got it to 762 HP and saving up for aero kit. The ZR1 is fast off the show room floor and extra horse power makes it hard to handle without aero. Nurburgring is my favorite track and I'm running lap times under seven minutes.

I would do Iracing but my internet connection sucks in my area from any carrier.

The level of detail in Iracing is must much higher than GT5. The cars in Iracing have been added using the actual CAD programs from vehicle manufactures, they have gone out and laser scanned each venue to get every nuance in track surface. If you have a good enough system and controls you feel when you transition from asphalt to concrete repair patches. The big plus is the people your are racing against are not snot nose punks looking for the next cheat code but real racing people looking to keep their skills sharp.

The overall graphics in Iracing are not as realistic but the physics are more so, from what I've seen.


And after re-reading Your post 96Z I realize you were talking about net speed not game difference

Yeah, thanks. I had AT&T over yesterday and today to try anf figure out why I'm not even getting 3 Mb's to the house. I get dropped even when playing GT5.

When I start getting a better internet connection then I will get into IRacing.

I was enjoying GT5 but then a friend told me that Forza 3 for Xbox 360 was coming out with a car pack that has a 1971 AMC Javelin! GT5 is a much better game but they don't have an AMC so I had to jump ship

check me out...

GT5 is the best simulation game on the market, way better than Forza. Now when the new Forza comes out I will have to try it so I can do another comparison.

I'm late to the party having just got GT5 for christmas. Having a blast using a wheel playing this game.

Anyone else still play? My PS3 tag is Dfnoob

Add me or let me know if you still play.

Just learned about the remote racing today so let me know if you have any b-spec drivers you want to level/earn cash with.
