A few days ago iRacing has reached a new and shiny build, which means a new season has started. As always, have been some new content pieces available but maybe this time we must stop to check out the many details developers have included. As the team works in the upcoming night and day transitions some of that new findings along the development are showing us what we are going to see in the next months.
Of course if this build has stars, that would be new cars and tracks:
Porsche RSR is the addition many people expected to complete GTE grid and to resemble its real counterpart. The car seems to offer that kind of pleasant driving of the GTE cars and comes with an incredible sound which proves a great work has been done.
Radical SR8 now its free. One of the oldest cars in iRacing now is available to all members and personally I must say is a blast to drive, a totally awesome car. A C level series with fixed setup is getting more and more attention since it started and some of the old good fellas have come back to race the car again.
Distortion and water effects try to add more life to the track environments, which are usually filled with some lakes, ponds and fountains. As the VR progress with better tracking, resolution and immersion, track surrounding has to be better and more detailed allowing also astounding TV style replays.
We also had marbles and effects of the tires on tarmac. Grass and sand got its ration too with impressive results. A slightly adjustment has been done after the last patch yesterday to be less cheerful.
Crowds have been also revamped forgetting the old 2D model. Now crowds are moving considering the location of the car on track and this creates a fake effect of volume helping to get more immersion. Windshield has also better reflects than before.
And last, swaying trees. Depending of the wind speed, trees can oscillate in a very and realistic way. This should be a nice touch to imagine how a track session with unpleasant weather can be.
