This video was the decider of me buying the game, thanks mate 💪
Have both. Not a fan boy of Xbox or PS. I'm into cars. Grand turismo 7 is a better sim/game.
On the website it says it is 100kg for the brake loadcell
This wheel is Magic Really, it's a game changer Feel sorry for the competition really
can you not just go into task manager and fully close the software instead of restarting your pc?
Nobody wants to spending hours just to unlocked car parts for every single car.. Whoever said that is fun is really stupid..worst graphic makes FM car has no details and look flat.. This is not a review, this is advertisement with misinformation...
Horizon 5 graphics look a thousand times better than Forza Motorsport.
I've consider buying the Neo. However, I'm actually using a high end wireless wheel, the Sim Racing Bay GT3 Replica. The Neo seems very great for the price, however do you recommend it if I'm use to high end quality wheel ? Thanks
I prefer Forza this time around.
these pedals fuckung suck, the brake squeaks more than a creaky door and there is no fix and they won’t replace it
Forza motorsport is a disasterr
*promosm*
Once you notice which is more accurate to real life trees, signs, car models and the street itself details you can’t take seriously Forza, is like an horizon wannabe Motorsport graphics, not cool
The amount of ppl who believe gt7 is better amazes me, the game is absolute tr4sh 😂
every iracers should watch this then race.
Great review. Very enjoyable. The simpro software you're talking about, I have no kinds of issue whatsoever. None. It might be your system that's having issues. But of course if you're having issues then other people might be having the same issue. For me, Windows 10, no issues at all.
I think more forza fans went to gt after this release, just look at the forza subreddit, they themselves unanimously agree that gt 7 is a better game in almost all aspects and has more soul and effort put into it despite its flaws.
Are you using the simagic quick release with your moza base? I was too scared thinking the pins might short out my moza base
Yep! Using the Simagic GT Neo, with MagLink, with my Moza R12. Works great!
I found this one of the best reviews yet of this wheel because you actually highlighted some of its draw backs. Everyone has been giving glowing reviews but it made no sense it was perfect.
Glad you enjoyed the video! It’s not a perfect wheel for sure (nothing is), but I am enjoying it more than other wheels I have!
Imagine merginn all that games forza visuals assetos sound race flags le Mans ultimate engine sound and burnout revenge car damage 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This or the GS wheel?
Good question! I’ve not been able to get hands-on with the Moza GS so far, but here in the UK it is almost £200 more expensive than the Simagic GT Neo. Unless the Moza GS would totally blow me away, I think you’d be better off putting that extra £200 into a better base or pedals - but that’s just a hunch!
Nice review, lots of effort which clearly shows through. Keep it up!
Thank you Alan!
I turn my base off when I put my pc to sleep. When I login to Iracing and switch my base on it works
Ahhhh, I’ll have to give that a go. Thanks!
I turn my Simagic wheel base off as well if I am not using it

Bro that rain spray looks like actual garbage what are you talking about you've obviously never seen rain in assetto Corsa or iRacing
Forza, too cartoonish GT, literal racing experience
in addition to everything thats been said in this video iracing is also going to be expanding into more areas of asia where "they don't yet have a prescence" which Im guessing that means more asian tracks outside of japan though they haven't announced what new asian tracks are coming my guesses are probably non-street course tracks like sepang, korea, autopolis, shanghai, sugo, buddh, yas marina, bahrain, intercity istanbul park, and losail. Not too sure bout Sochi Autodrom cause of well "cough" the ongoing war not to mention iRacing has partnered with WSC for TCR branding and possibly means that we can see more TCR cars being added to iRacing in the future
Would love to see those tracks in iRacing, especially Sepang, Shanghai and Yas Marina! If street courses are on the table, I’d love to see Macau - though I’m not sure my Safety Rating would agree!
this review fails right at the start when he preaises the visuals looool
Surely the "shocker" comment refers to Formula E...
I’d love to see Formula E, but I’d be surprised to see its debut - even with the pun!
Hopefully it’s a NASCAR oval car update for the ARCA series and the Gen 4 series! Both bodies need a big update
That would be pretty cool!
The toxic drivers in dirt oval are what keeps a lot of ppl out of those cars
That’s a shame, have you had some bad experiences? I grew up with Sprint car racing, so I’ve got a soft spot for it!
Yooooo your back with bangeers again!!!!
Yep, I'm back! Thanks for the kind words, lots more on the way!
Thruxton could be an option for the British tracks, but it wouldn’t make as much sense
Thruxton would be awesome! I found this blog post from iRacing announcing it'd be added 12 years ago - I wonder why it never made it? www.iracing.com/iracing-com-adds-four-british-tracks-btcc-honda/
Onya! Great video! Very well made!
Thank you very much!
NOT all the GT3 cars are getting rain at launch, only those featured in IMSA.
Ahh yes, should've specified! My mistake!
Excellent video. Covers all the latest changes and things on the horizon. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to turn my first laps in the rain!
Which car & track combo will you try in the rain first? 🌧
I have been playing FM from v1 skipped the Horizon until v4 & v5 and those worked somewhat playable with a logi g920 almost out of the box, but none after that even came close to being playable with a wheel out of the box. I went to pc 8 months ago, and have a Moza r5 and Lite pedal set. V8 is total shit, I bought it 2 months ago via Steam and tried for 2 hours to get it close to semi-playable but that was mission impossible, and enough to ask Steam for a refund. And kudos to Steam because they gave me a full refund, and don't go you expected too much, because I know full well that FM never pretended to be even close to a sim. but it should at least be close to semi-playable with any wheel almost out of the box. And no it is unfair to think it might be Moza, the devs of turn10 should have made it so that any wheel brand could be at least close to semi-playable out of the box. Turn10 failed and killed FM for non-controller players as if they never cared to try and at least make an effort for those who want to use a wheel. And it is beyond me how can ppl ever accept a non-finished product, why do you accept a dreadful failure?? How can ppl still back them up, unless you don't care to waste your hard-earned cash? And not only hurt your wallet but also the wallets of the ones that cannot get their money refunded for a total unfinished buggy shitty fail of a game that they buy because of hoping it will not be an epic fail? I was a believer in turn10, they had 6 years to create a good game, but they haven't even finished it yet! Turn10 crashed and burned they don't deserve to get money for this BS, Turn10 are scammers!!.
Have you hade any issues with the pedals?
Had a few mild inconveniences, but they’ve been great for the most part - will have a full review coming soon!
Who has better crash damage?
Forza score = 2/10. Not optimized for PC at all. Visuals on PC is super sad, it can't even render at full monitor resolution. Nor can it run more than 60fps, during online race!? More content is of no value if the driving, game mechanic's and poor wheel force feedback is not fixed. The driver assistance is so overpowered, many console players set it to max and let the game drive itself for hours to gain xp... Release more content, the game will be dead in 6 months!
Let me answer that for you: No, it's not even close. Thank me later, now you can spend 14 minutes on masturbating. have fun OK, some reasoning for the guys that haven't follwed my former advice... -no VR, belive the people telling you that GT7 on PSVR2 is a gamechanger, they are right -physics with a wheel: on the joypad it may be a different story, but if you are on a wheel, GT7 is just better, Forza Wheel support sucks since FM5, no idea why they won't get it right, GT7 is a huge step from former GTs and the handling makes way more sense. -Car graphics: just simply more refined, absolutely crazy detail in VR Showroom on GT7, plus the wheels look way more realistic, same goes for Paint reflections and lighting -Stupid car Experience BS in Forza, I don't see any benefit from this system, it's just plain stupid -Online Races: well, I mean, there is a FIA sponsored championship in GT7, case closed
As a player of both Forza couldnt be any further behind. Broken sounds Glitches FM5 models Bugged lighting engine Bad interiors Low res car details Crowd is basically 240px with no shadows Car part glitches Wide body doesnt show Leveling system is horrid Menus are puked out of FM3 Same low res wheels and glitches when rolling Lazy rain lacking puddles and correct reflection Its good on controller but that doesnt makw up for the rest that is an afterthought. Watching side by sides make this brutally apparent. Also, GT7 has the tactile adaptive triggers and better vibration, which i still prefer controller wise. Lets just say, ive barely gotten started on my complaints. I play it on Ultra on my PC and it looks worse than almost all racers from 2023, including the prior FH5.
what is this full sell out shit? lol
It has no way to put it: Gran Turismo is just better. Forza is a shit show, slow, awfull loking, boriing racing game. Even if played in PS4 PRO, GT 7 is just better.
Its also a massive graphical downgrade on what was promised...great video and I really hope turn 10 are listening 😊
Thanks for the kind words! Fingers crossed it gets better with time
I shouldn’t have to race with someone in Australia that has a ping of 245. We need to keep racers close. People, like myself lol, make mistakes. But the amount of times I’ve “hit” someone without actually hitting them is crazy. What’s crazier is that I get penalized for it, heavily. A 4x just bc the guy blinked in front of me and I hit his rear bumper? Stupid.
I really hope they come up with a better solution for blinking for sure!
iRacing would lose a lot of customers if everyone outside of the US and Europe suddenly are quarantined to only their own regions. Access to the biggest active simracing audience is, I think, the main thing you're paying for with iRacing, so it would be a massive F U to take that away.
18 months difference in release date. Only way to compare us if they were released at the same time. Forza has over a year more development.
