They should have sent him around the course in the Reneault.

You're correct. And that's because they picked the shitiest "simcade" out there. If he did this even in Project Cars 2 he would be spinning out of control.

If they choice Assetto it will be more realistic than this piece of shit

Project Cars 3 is not a very realistic sim racing game. The sim racer had a better car, much more practice and sat comfortably in his home. His lap time wasn't very good, all things considered.

@@CheeseFarts project cars 2 would also have been better than project cars 3

@@lynpendry Even PC2 have superior tire physic and is much faster than AC or GT sport

My thoughts exactly let him drive the 182 lol let’s see what time he gets then

Yeah it's a lot easier when you're Don't have to worry about the threat of crashing.

Yeah he was acting like he eas better than everyone else in the video i really didnt like him

@@Adventureswithmike1 yep there’s a huge mental wall when it comes to things like how late you can brake and there are so many factors like the car not being perfect in person with the tires and brakes

yeah seems super weird to not compare apples to apples, I guess there wasn't a 182 in the game? A GT86 seems a weird second best though, RWD not front FWD and with substantially more power. A much more interesting comparison would have been Alex in the sim and the Sim driver in the Clio IRL, but the sim guy seemed pretty put out just being at the track so I very much doubt he would have gloved up and potentially have lost by quite a wide margin.

hahaha, no hate (even though I'm kinda hating) he was on a fucking video game, obviously he was going to be quicker if the "pro" driver was put in the Clio id bet that Alex would win, he gave it everything.

reminds me of the IT guy in The Office :D "Oi - no professionals!"

It was a bit unfair. That clip suspension and brakes would be worn out as well as the engine wouldn't be running so good. They should of atleast done the same car in the simulation.

Yeah the sim racer was a tosser

VR Headsets exist

Ok let me just magically find enough money for a bmw e30 race car.

With a proper rig the experience gets pretty close to irl, I have experience of both. Throw in vr and you will 100% shit your pants if you crash. The only thing sim racing doesn't convey are elevation changes and g-forces.

@Seamus McShamish 100% agree. Being in a real car (coming from someone who has only done sim racing) is definitely way scarier in the sense that there is actual fear. Sim racing is completely risk free, he would have definitely cracked under pressure in a real car.

Knowing how other sim-racers race with real cars, I think he could beat Alex time. There is a bloke in BTCC racing, who won his spot from sim-racing and he won a race this year.

@@Deivs65 I know there are a handful of sim-racers that have done well in racing, but just because you can set a fast time on Project Cars 3 doesn't mean you are a driving god. Most of the ones who are now racing professionally also did some kind of track driving/racing along with sim racing. I don't think he would've gone round much faster in that thing with knackered old tyres and road brakes. Shame they didn't show a full onboard video of Alex's fastest lap so we could really see how he was doing.

@@CYMRU619 tru

Unfortunately, I don't think that whoever develops PC 3 won't like not using their game in the video considering it was probs sponsered by them

That's exactly what I was thinking! Why not use either Rfactor2 or iracing? I've never played these games as I'm just amature player, but those 2 games are known for their realism project cars 3 isn't even a proper sim!

The minute I saw your comment I realised this ain't going to be fair what so ever... PC 3 is barely even considered a sim compared to the other ones. Im sure this sim drive has iRacing or/and Asseto Corsa which would be more suitable to do stuff like these...

The wheel is plenty for sim racing. Many guys who are racing with over 5k iRating are still using the logitech wheels. The bigger upgrade you need to be more competitive are decent pedals. And yeah pCars is shit. ACC and iRacing is much better for sim racing.

@@ItsDavid07 I used to have a Logitech g920 a couple of years ago I’ve upgraded to a fanatec podium the difference is incredible even when the Logitech wheel is compared to a mid range wheel like a fanatec cls the difference is still immense 100% of the guys I race with use fanatec cls,sim cubes,accufores or fanatec podiums a wheel maters the most in a sim setup

@@hubertkam7647 I thought I was having a stroke reading that reply. Please punctuate. You're also comparing a £500 direct drive wheel to one that is effectively £130 on sale using helical gears so yeah the difference is huge. What I'm saying is that you're not really missing out on the most important feedback during sim racing which provides information as to where and how the car is reacting, you just get a much more pronounced feel and detail when using a higher end wheel. You can 100% be competitive with a G29/920 and compete with people use CLS wheels and up. You also have to factor in that people just don't have nearly £2-3k to fork out on a sim rig so going for the most cost effective way which is essentially better pedals is a much bigger upgrade than a new wheel. Brake and throttle control is just as important as the wheel itself.

@@ItsDavid07 a cheap direct drive wheel is 1500 euro and if you gave me the g920 pedals I would probably be still within 2 seconds of my time

Since it was a track car challenge, it would have fitted the theme so well

Lack of time probably, they had to get the car toa Manchester

What about the weight balance? It is already front heavy.

@@DashCamSerbia it is a ff platform would give him more traction on his driving wheels.

The car had bad brakes and crap tyres on the back, it had an oil issue aswell or something I think they said, so shredding weight won't have made any real difference. The car was far from track ready

Most I found were £3500 or more

I just found that same one
