    here you go wotnot, they are inviting you to challenge them.

    Here's your chance to match up against Eseries stars

    Fans will have the chance to test themselves against Supercars’ elite brigade of drivers as a bonus element to the BP Supercars All Stars Eseries.

    Fixed set-ups will be implemented throughout the online championship, with Dunlop Super2 Series leader and simulator racing expert Brodie Kostecki tasked with locking in settings for all cars to run at each designated track.


    The spin-off effect is that Supercars will make the set-ups – catered to each circuit – available to all fans to try.


    While trying to outpace drivers in real-life is stunted by factors including time and cost, fans can have unlimited attempts with the exact same car set-up to see if they can match the stars of the sport in the online sphere.


    The set-ups for Round 3 Mount Panorama can be downloaded here, for users with the relevant iRacing software.


    Fans are encouraged to record their attempts and upload them to the relevant posts on Supercars’ Facebook page.


    Qualifying for the third round will begin tonight at 6:00pm AEST and will be broadcast exclusively on Fox Sports 506 before racing begins at 7:00pm.


    From 7:00pm, racing will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 506, Kayo, Sky Sports (NZ) and 10 Play. Online fans from around the globe can watch races via the Supercars Facebook Page and Supercars’ Teams Facebook Pages.
    Go here for links to the iRacing setups >>

    Or maybe have a couple of Virtual rounds of Australian tracks they will race later in the year
    Then you can have a Virtual winner and Supercar winner for the same track and see how their Virtual Racing compares to real life racing.

    Plenty of ways to make this fun and inclusive.
    After all, there must a very lucrative Video Game market enjoying a resurgence

    The Virtual Supercar data can be saved and offered online on iRacing for any punter to try his luck against
    Agreed! It would be good to see both the real round and the virtual round back to back. Drivers are less likely to take risks on the track that they might do on a virtual track with no attendant "disadvantages". (i.e. car damage or Personal injury).

    With virtual rounds we might even be able to have a virtual "cannonball run" across Australia.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Ahh, ok...not gunna happen realtime 'coz fixed-wireless (they use string) NBN, and being a linux user, DX-11 and above has shot many games in the foot for me, you get that. Having that baseline dream of the same simulator software available globally for all players irrespective of the OS/platform of choice, is a long way off yet.

If you want to buy additional tracks, they cost a one-time fee of either $11.95 or $14.95 depending on the track. We offer many volume discounts as well:

    • Purchase any 3 or more cars or tracks at the same time and receive 10% off

    Looking to organize your own racing in a league or standalone races? We make servers available for a very modest cost — just 50 cents per hour. This is only charged to the host. For example, if you decide to host a 4-hour session it would cost you as the host $2 dollars, but for everyone else in the session it would be free. We also have a bulk purchase discount for the hosted sessions.
    iRacing really is a great value when you look at all that we have to offer. We try to be as upfront about associated costs as we can be. We are priced the way we are so we fit into just about anyone’s budget and everyone receives the same premium service no matter what they can afford. You don’t have to buy all the cars and tracks at once and, in fact, many people never buy or very slowly buy additional cars and tracks. Other people buy them all right away but most fall in-between.
    Check us out for a month or even three months for a small amount of money to get a better understanding of the service and see for yourself what we are all about. If you don’t like what you see, simply click the “don’t renew” button in the My Account section of our website. If you have questions feel free to contact our world class customer support team directly at support@iracing.com.

    Well I have a PC with
    ..windows installed. I have a PC of better spec with linux installed... don't you dare infer 'PC' == windows, PC is 'personal computer' ...hell, I've installed/run linux on an iMac ..you gunna call me an apple fanboi? =^)

    Don't confuse platform with OS of choice ~ it's a travesty

    Yeah, the great disparity...latency. I often think it's the single biggest thing that stops this technology from really taking off -- gameplay varies considerably because we all live a different distance from the servers, and not all internet connections are the same - sux really.

    No lets not go there & it is not what i said, I have a PC with more than the minimum requirements. It is; W10 64 bit installed, i7, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 @ 2 GB.
    I could have any OS & it will still be my PC. OK.

    Good news on the MotoGp front.

    First ever Virtual Grand Prix is announced


    After the incredible success of MotoGP™’s first ever Virtual Race, a second event was announced and Virtual Race 2 was broadcast on Sunday the 12th of April. From Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) and Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT) to Danilo Petrucci (Ducati Team) and Valentino Rossi (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), the line-up was star studded and the race action packed as the grid took on the Red Bull Ring in Austria.


    Feedback on the Virtual Races from the MotoGP™ community, fans, partners and more has only continued to grow. 29 broadcast partners showed the event, with titans of sports broadcasting showing the race to audiences around the world. Partners such as Sky Italy, Canal+ in France, DAZN (in Spain, Italy and DACHS), BT Sport in the UK, ServusTV in Austria and Germany, Viasat in Sweden and many more showed the event in Europe, whilst the Americas received coverage thanks to the likes of NBC in the USA and Fox Brazil and ESPN in Latin America. Fans further east could enjoy coverage from partners including Motorsport TV Russia, Eurosport India and Fox Asia, with those Down Under covered by Fox Australia and TEN. SuperSport also broadcast the event in Africa, meaning the second MotoGP™ Virtual Race once again reached every inhabited continent on Earth – as did the first!

    .......................

    There’s not too long to wait to see more showstopping action, either. On Sunday the 3rd of May – the original date for the Spanish GP – another world first will be broadcast: the Red Bull Virtual Grand Prix of Spain. The event is to show solidarity with and in aid of the Official Charity of MotoGP™, Two Wheels for Life, supporting their efforts in the fight against Covid-19. It will begin at 15:00 (GMT +2) and will see all three Grand Prix classes – MotoGP™, Moto2™ and Moto3™ – compete in a unique three-race online event.

    Most premier class teams can choose to field a rider each, with the exception of the Repsol Honda Team, who can enter two as reigning MotoGP™ Champions.

    In Moto2™ and Moto3™, ten riders can enter in each category, with the right of entry given in Championship order following the QNB Grand Prix of Qatar. Who will it be? All will be revealed as the event approaches…



    Catch up on anything you missed from the first and second editions, including plenty of behind-the-scenes content, and then stay tuned at motogp.com, esport.motogp.com and across social media for more as the Red Bull Virtual Grand Prix of Spain gets closer and closer and more details are unveiled.


    Source:

    added to that they should be using the latest 2020 MotoGP game software which became available yesterday.

    Don’t forget that you can get MotoGP™20, the official MotoGP™ video game, from Thursday April 23rd!"

    Found this very helpful to explain most of what I have read or heard over the last month.

    Then there RK's sim made from studs and a camping chair






    I do see some real positives with this Sim Racing
    For one, there is no drug and alcohol testing

    Maybe one day we will see some driver hitting the glass bbq down the back straight at Bathurst

    Did you attend a big Ford Auction at Birregurra last year?
    Was an original XW GTHO there, unrestored, went for $40K i think to a SA buyer
    Thing had all the doors off (but in the car) and blackberries growing up through it
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    The racing was excellent again, these guys are bringing it to a great level of sim racing, I'm really impressed.
