Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that! Super impressive small detail.

I have a feeling that rain in iRacing is going to be one of those "back to reality" moments. The execution looks absolutely brilliant from what I've seen. An unqualified clap of applause for iRacing for implementing wet weather and actually applying a proper "wet" racing line. However... I can't help but wonder what the racing lobby is going to be like when this amazingly detailed wet track simulation is put up against the average ham fisted sim racer. I HOPE it leads to good racing. The cynic in me thinks its going to be a bowling alley, moreso than usual.

I love the sound of the rain on the windscreen. Louder the faster you go too, brilliant

I like it! Whats missing is the hazy spray of water on the windscreen that you get from driving behind a car in the rain - right now on the windscreen it makes no difference if there is a car in front of your or not

I really like how you can actually tell where the "dry" line is, in most other sim games its just the same stage of wet + massive puddles. Also I wonder how good you will be able to tell visually when it's time to go to wet tires

At 10:52 Jimmy turned into Martin Brundle for a second

I remember them saying they didn't put rain in GPL because they were waiting until they could do it properly with rivers and puddles etc. So yeah just over 25 years later... 😆Looks to be a great job

The 86 and 1600 sessions are gonna be so packed this season. Wish the GT4 and TC cars got the treatment for the IMSA biweekly series...but honestly, I dont think I have any business trying anything above the 86/1600 in the wet for awhile.

Your editor(s) deserve(s) a raise. That La Cucaracha killed me.

I foresee hours and hours of practice at the Circuit de la Sarthe in preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, or at the Nürburgring.

Editor chan added fake outro and then forgot to add the actual outro lol

Can't get enough seeing all y'all's reaction to the rain! Can't wait to try it myself soon, all the lost SR will be worth it 😂

Jimmy going around with slicks reminds me of the Lamborghini during the nurburgring qualifying for the 24hr. He was going so slow and spun at the slightest throttle. The commentators had few laughs

The immense joy in your voice is priceless!

Jimmy's sign now updated: " It's okay to MOCK mistakes"

Guess they better change the A license requirement for the IMSA series back down to B.......or it will be empty after the first few weeks. Wanted to add........you'll notice there were no rain effects on the visor of the helmet in the FF1600. A dev on the iRacing forums said they are still working on how they will implement this effect and it will be released later.

Awesome to reference the model to your real-life experience, quite amazing to see the realism of the slick racing line and standing water. Challenging, and adaptability is key. That's what it's all about

Can you imagine if IMSA goes to the full Nurburgring this season and it starts raining? 50 cars, many of them Le Mans Hypercars will cause the largest safety rating loss in history.

@fisken1

5 ай бұрын

Nah nurburgring is very safe when it comes to safety rating since it has so many corners. Tracks like monza will be much worse because of the few corners and regular incidents even in dry

People are gonna start a race with 31 cars and finish with 3 (damaged) car only. No doubt, a month of greatness awaits!

Looks insane! Seems like it is worth the wait and letting them take proper development time to delivery something truly special

The pooling and rivering effects are absolutely bonkers, I've never seen a game simulate the water distribution that fully.

They said they're working on it but it's really complicated. They can't just turn the brightness up, something to do with transparency and illumination. It would probably require rewriting some code.

Only thing I think is missing is interaction of the spray particles with lighting, at least the bare minimum. This is important because IRL a lot of cars have blinking lights behind when it's wet so you can see them through the spray. In iRacing the spray is completely opaque and you can't even see the blinking light, and makes racing behind other cars very very difficult

I'm incredibly excited for this and also incredibly nervous about it. The spray when you're following close behind another car looks so realistic!

This would be so amazing for endurance races. Have your crew watch for weather changes and having to pit to change tire types

This is gonna revolutionize the Zolder 23, DHR's Daytona 24, and Sim Racing Stewards.

So they got rain right before they perfected dry tire models? Strange

I can't wait. I don't want to get my hopes up but the performance looks really smooth!

I feel like it needs more windscreen effects when you're behind another car. There's the spray in front of you, but the water hitting the windscreen is the same whether you're driving through spray or not.

Really wish iRacing wasn't this expensive, it looks like a lot of fun.

Its amazing how iRacing got this feature right the very first time.

of all the early access videos, Jimmy YOUR THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!

I was playing another game when you said "above 60fps challenge" and had an audio cut out and thought your editor was the best practical joker of all time

Would be good to have a few dry laps as a comparison for frame rate difference, Im dreading the hit to performance

That looks very nice. Im wondering if you notice the dry line getting more grip with time progressing. As far as I know it should be the case as the rubber 'washes away' (or whatever really happens there), though I obviously can't know that for sure because I have not driven on a racetrack in real life

I always found it funny how many people wanted rain for years. Like yall cant drive when its dry still lol

Be nice to have rain on the visor on the single seater.

Would be amazing if that was the way that you ended the video. I spat my tea out 😂

Jimmy this is your daily reminder to fix your deadzone on your brake!!!

Anticipating KZread being flooded (geddit) with iracing wet weather crash compilation videos 5 minutes after the update is released.

"This car is so angry" No, it's just you Jimmy Madbend 😂

iRacing is really becoming so tremendously better. If I had another wish I´d like a series where you can do exactly 1 race a week or every 2 weeks. Once you did your race you are locked for the rest of the week. This would be like a league for open for everyone. In a league you often face the problem that always the same people sit on the top spots. I would love this! And it would give the race a realy significance. Make the races an event. Give us the introductory lap for standing starts, too - even if it is just for this series. And with rain and changing conditions, of course.

Yes wanna see more of this. Can watch you testing that out for hours

I struggle enough in the dry

Finally we can realistically wait out the rain at oval races!

When it is raining at the racetrack, it is good to be in tents.

it needs some atmosphere. it's like, perfectly clear unless there's the massive amount of spray off the car ahead so it looks kinda goofy. the driving side looks super nice though

I'm genuinely scared and excited for this update 🤔

I really want to see how the drying line works. Maybe try a starting wet track with 20-30mins of drying weather?

i'm mostly an oval running guy, but hell, this seems a lot of fun!

i appreciate that the road surface isnt reflective like a mirror

Multiclass racing, in the night, and then in full rain. Broo its going to be hard as hell.

I wonder how this would work for longer oval races. If you can create a scenario to were you are racing to half way. Instead of a full distance similar to certain Midwest races during the summer.

Now we need every summertime race at Montréal to be interrupted by a thunderstorm at random.
