Thread: V8 Supercars Online Series (iRacing)

A bunch of the guys have started racing the V8's on iRacing (namely Marf, Formula 1, Corco and myself).

Monday night's races are officially sanctioned by the V8 Supercars Championship, and has standings/news on their website: V8 Supercars Championship Online Series

Had my first race on Monday night. Round 5, Sebring, started 14th on the grid and finished 4th. Corco finished 16th after two (yes, two) punctures.

Round 6 at Spa; 10th to 4th on the first lap, and that's where I finished. Boring. And on the start-straight I rear-ended some guy who broke immensely early. :/

Corco finished 12th of 15th, after having to retire due to a huge knock from an idiot pulling back into traffic (seen in video).

Here's an awesome vid from Sebring (Round 5), on-board with Corey Slade from XSG Motorsport:

Some hugely fun action from tonight's practice session...

I think this may be the only time I've ever enjoyed watching V8 racing.

I've watched like, two... possibly three V8 Supercar races my entire life. I'm a sucker for open-wheel action; F1 is king on four wheels.

Sim racing is another matter entirely though. Actually driving these things is a hoot. Although the V8 Falcon is probably the least accurate car on iRacing, but it's mostly due to the braking, which is mostly due to the tyres. And there's a new tyre model being introduced in a couple months.

Great stuff man. Great stuff.

When you're actually driving do you do it from the in-car perpective?

Yeah you have to - cockpit view only. You can adjust the angle you're looking at, and the FOV though.
