07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Motorsport Games Inc. Seems like an insult that Risi is on the reserve list when they are a confirmed entry for the actual event in September.Update brings new cars and tracks to the platform, marking first time circuits have been laser-scanned into a commercial sim racing product I would think that Studio 397 have been able to fix stuff, not at least because many of the guys working on it, have been racing in the same series for years, and are true rFactor/rFactor 2 endurance racers. On a sidenote We had very few tech issues during the endurance season in 2017, it was a lot of work to host it, but it wasn't much issues. Also a bit "ugh"(in the lack of a better word), when I see simracers I've been racing against and beaten for years being a part of this, while I kinda stopped 3 years ago. It's been 3 years since I last did a 24hrs of Le Mans on rFactor 2 now, and it's really fun to see multiple names I drove against back then, in this race. I totally do see why both Redline and Penske are allowed to participate though, the PR and so on. The Penske car is also a bit iffy due to that, yes it is an IMSA car, and it is 4 real life drivers, but we got Risi and Kessel on the reserve list, I cannot help feel that those teams would be more "right" to have in the event, also to beef up the GT field a tiny bit. Especially with actual race teams on the reserve list, and BMW not being able to participate due to not doing it IRL. I mean, it's inside (but not totally within the spirit of the) rules, but it's also not a team or car, or drivers that participated in WEC or Le Mans at all. Throw a long list of some of the finest real drivers on the globe on it, and of course it's got to be even more interesting. These special events are different, even ordinary ones like iRacing's 24h of Le Mans, they are different from common simraces, more watchable. I'm not going to watch the full 24 hours or anything, but I bet it's going to be pretty entertaining to follow online, because there's so many people involved that broadcasters can chat with, and I bet there'll be tons of streams from several different teams etc. You can't expect lots of close wheel-to-wheel racing because it's endurance, you can't expect the mechanical reliability test because this isn't a real battle between manufacturers, cars don't have mechanical failures, but the time lenght itself makes it a huge survival test either way. A 24h simrace isn't a new concept anymore in 2020 but it's still nuts. There's this excitement of how will the real racers perform vs them, who can match their pace? So in a bizarre way the "kids in their mom's bedroom" actually add quite a bit of interest here.Įndurance events have their own particular charm too. But I think it'd be just a tiny bit less interesting if it didn't have all the Huttus and Atzes and these simrace experts. Streamers can be a bit too childish at times but it's really all about entertainment and not as much about sheer performance itself.Īs for this event, it's unquestionably important because there's 2 F1 champions, god knows how many other F1 race winners, Le Mans winners, Indy 500 winners etc etc, it's by a long distance the most insane simrace grid I've ever seen. However random guys like Jimmy and a couple of others are fun to watch on youtube, not quite for the high standards of driving, but more because they're relatable and they are also professional entertainers. I kinda get both sides of this argument? I think eSports are piss boring and can't watch those high level F1 simraces at all, it's so robotic, artifficial and dull. Start on Saturday 13th at 3:00 pm and finish on Sunday 14th atĮdited by thegamer23, 13 June 2020 - 16:39. Every bump, every kerb or runoff is the exact replica of the Original RaceTrack. Unpredictable Weather changes, the darkness of the Night, Heavy Traffic.Īlso the Virtual Le Mans Track is super accurate. The drivers will face many of the real life threats of Le Mans. With 50 cars on track, the slightest of the mistakes can lead into a retirement for the whole team. This means: Real Time Weather, Day/Night Cycle, Full Damage, Mechanical Damage, Driver Swaps.Īnything can happen in this race. Maximum realism: no compromise for this event. I mean, look at that lineup! It's crazy!! 2 of them will be Real Drivers, the other two, simracers. Names like Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, Charles Leclerc, & tons of other GT & Prototype drivers, along with some of the best simdrivers on the planet.Įvery team will have 4 drivers. This is going to be the biggest e-vent by a country mile: just look at the Lineup! History will be made on the virtual tarmac of Le Mans. The only difference is that: this June, it will be Virtual! It's almost time for the Le Mans 24 Hours
