5 Reasons to Choose GT7 (PSVR2) over iRacing for Your Sim Racing Fix - In this video I will go over why someone might choose Gran Turismo 7 over iRacing for Sim Racing even though iRacing is considered to be the top tier of Sim Racing Games. Of course there are plenty of reasons to choose iRacing over GT7 for many, but it comes down to what you are looking for and what your priorities are. Let me know in the comments why you have chosen one or the other or maybe your preference is a different sim racing game altogether.

I think if Sony loosened up the hardware licensing requirements, gt7 would be monstrous.

@k80sg Ай бұрын

Simply put, if you're a gamer dad, go for PSVR2 GT7. Put on the headset and go, you won't have much time for fiddling and messing around to get the right settings.

@nighttrain1565 Ай бұрын

I agree 100% iRacing is better but it's no comparison to GT7 when paired with the PSVR2. The immersiveness does more for sharpening my skills then any flat screen ever could no matter how good the sim models are. I only bought the PSVR2 because Sony announced that PC compatibility would be coming later this year. Hopefully they hold to their word. Once I can use PSVR2 with iRacing I'll get all new stuff and go all in.

@nighttrain1565 Ай бұрын

@@matthewdickerman3142 yea junky VR. It's not nearly as optimized as Gran Turismo. PSVR2 is a few steps better than my quest visually. Especially when looking into the horizon. I can probably see nearly twice as far in my PSVR2 than in the quest 3. And I'm not about to spend $3,000 on the headset to match what the PSVR2 can do. I'll just wait patiently for PC compatibility. Once PSVR2 has PC compatibility it'll be the best headset for the buck on the market. Already is if you ask me really. The cable doesn't bother me at all. Plus the eye tracking is unmatched. That's why the visual quality is also unmatched. Optimization goes a long way.

IRacing in VR is great once you get it dialed in and are actually driving.. it’s just SO much more clunky to get going and ultimately for me just an expensive dated hassle. GT7 in VR just WORKS every time and is consistently a great experience. 4090 Q3 < PS5 VR

The amount of different brands and cars in GT7 is great for not just the collecting part but also seeing the detail of every single car. PD has done an amazing job with the detail on interiors and handling with these machines, and being able to experience them in VR is fantastic. Funny story: My dad was in the market for a used car for my sister and was actually considering buying the VW Scirocco. This was about a year ago when the VR released and i had bought the headset. He thought it was a really cool way to actually get a hands on experience with the car that he was considering to buy irl. He drove a bunch of different cars in GT7 that are on the used market here in Norway, but he still hasn't decided what car to get though, due to the economy being so f'ed here in Norway at the moment.

LOL. It is great being able to sit in all these cars in VR. It's a great added feature GT7 has for PSVR2 users.

@simonoregan4744 Ай бұрын

I prefer GT7 to Iracing. And I have both. Sometimes I just want a quick race no fuss no hassle. I can wait minutes after a race and be in another with GT7. I stopped PC sim racing because I found Iracing boring. Years later GT7 got me back into Sim Racing. PC Sim Racing can be a nightmare to setup and keeping it running. PS is literally as plug and play as you can get.

Nice vid, and what you say is correct. Especially about price and PSVR2, Personally I think PSVR2 is worth it just for GT7. Otherwise its a $2000 or more gaming PC and a Quest 3 another $500 and iRacing price on top. Personally I have GT7 and iRacing. if I dont have much time I will hop in to GT7 and race pretty much instantly. If I have more time I will do at least 30 min practice on a track in iRacing, so I can get a decent qualifying time. then then a 20 min race so its realistically an hour. Both are great and as to price for either, its still probably less than the cost of tyres, fuel and tracks cost of a real track day.

The only reason to chose gt7 over any other sim. Olympic E racing platform. The competition has gotten real hot since the first time this game was used at olympics. All the good drivers from all the other sims are in GT7. Trying to get their shot at fame.

@gseric4721 Ай бұрын

My opinion. GT7 is the better *_teacher_* and will get you up to speed quicker than anything else on the market. Its called _"The Real Driving Simulator"_ for a reason. I dont think anything will ever beat iRacing for pure simracing. I personally thing RFactor 2 trumps everything in terms of realism. I just wish the overall presentation and interface were more polished. ACC is aother good one.

@Judas410 24 күн бұрын

It is such a shame that just GT7 is the one optimized on PS5...For me, ACC is a better game but no PSVR2 support, such a shame. I've done some tricks to use the headset, like wome other guy proposed as an alternative, increasing FOV, managing the camera position, etc, and you can see that it does improve the feeling but it is still a game that has no optimization for VR on PS5...I am hesitant to buy GT7, because of the mechanics/physics are not on par with ACC. I played GT Sport and basically all of the GT games...always more arcady tan AC and ACC... hopefully we will have another AC game before the next conaole generation arrives AND i hope vr compatibility....will see

I play GT7 in VR as well. It is endless replay value. You can buy new cars and trick them out and run different events and the possibilities are endless. I plan on getting a motion rig and updating my steering wheel and pedals so I have the option of Iracing or GT7. The subscription and nickel and diming in Iracing is a turn off. I wish that Poliphany would update and get more tracks. If they had the same tracks as Iracing they would eat Iracing's lunch

I got an iRacing PC + VR setup for £950, so around the same price as PS5 + VR2. But don't ask me how much I've spent on iRacing itself 😂 it's by far the best though when it comes to organised competitive racing across any discipline you could want.
