The next 23 hours of Zolder charity race best be 100% rain now.

Britain simulation complete

Safety Ratings everywhere are about to plummet

"Every track has it already enabled" Cries in rallycross

Jimmer has a lot of simracingstewards content ahead of him.

Somehow I feel that Verstappen is more excited about this rain update than winning the Bahrain GP

15:00 30 cars, Monza t1, shadow realm

iRaining, from the makers of iRacing.

I have a feeling that rain in iRacing is going to be one of those "back to reality" moments. The execution looks absolutely brilliant from what I've seen. An unqualified clap of applause for iRacing for implementing wet weather and actually applying a proper "wet" racing line. However... I can't help but wonder what the racing lobby is going to be like when this amazingly detailed wet track simulation is put up against the average ham fisted sim racer. I HOPE it leads to good racing. The cynic in me thinks its going to be a bowling alley, moreso than usual.

It's a small thing, but I appreciate the randomness of the rain hitting the screen and the wiper's water border. I wasn't a short repeating animation like I'd expect for such a background thing. It looked dynamic. Impressive.

Can't wait to lose all of my SR

What I want to see now is a transition race - one that starts dry/wet and finishes in the opposite state. I wanna see how the track evolves and in mixed wet/dry situations. Also: MONZA - 30 CARS HEAVY RAIN - show us what the AI does at T1. 😈

Be interesting to see dry - wet - dry or wet - dry etc. how it changes, pit stops

Thanks for the video man, it looks super!

I like it! Whats missing is the hazy spray of water on the windscreen that you get from driving behind a car in the rain - right now on the windscreen it makes no difference if there is a car in front of your or not

"For some reason or another" says the biggest ambassador to this game. It's sweet seeing big Jimmer still having the same humility as good ol' Jimmer

I love the sound of the rain on the windscreen. Louder the faster you go too, brilliant

No way! They added the Dutch weather system!

One thing I would be really excited to see is the V8 supercars in the wet, considering some of the most memorable moments in the sport were in the rain.

I really like how you can actually tell where the "dry" line is, in most other sim games its just the same stage of wet + massive puddles. Also I wonder how good you will be able to tell visually when it's time to go to wet tires

Looks insane! Seems like it is worth the wait and letting them take proper development time to delivery something truly special

Rain? In England?! How absurd

Verstappen irating is going to rise up like never before with this new rain system

Yes wanna see more of this. Can watch you testing that out for hours

I remember them saying they didn't put rain in GPL because they were waiting until they could do it properly with rivers and puddles etc. So yeah just over 25 years later... 😆Looks to be a great job

Awesome to reference the model to your real-life experience, quite amazing to see the realism of the slick racing line and standing water. Challenging, and adaptability is key. That's what it's all about

The 86 and 1600 sessions are gonna be so packed this season. Wish the GT4 and TC cars got the treatment for the IMSA biweekly series...but honestly, I dont think I have any business trying anything above the 86/1600 in the wet for awhile.

I foresee hours and hours of practice at the Circuit de la Sarthe in preparation for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, or at the Nürburgring.

I'm incredibly excited for this and also incredibly nervous about it. The spray when you're following close behind another car looks so realistic!

Can't get enough seeing all y'all's reaction to the rain! Can't wait to try it myself soon, all the lost SR will be worth it 😂

At 10:52 Jimmy turned into Martin Brundle for a second

The immense joy in your voice is priceless!

Jimmy going around with slicks reminds me of the Lamborghini during the nurburgring qualifying for the 24hr. He was going so slow and spun at the slightest throttle. The commentators had few laughs

I can't wait. I don't want to get my hopes up but the performance looks really smooth!

Been looking forward to this vid

Very cool. Looked like you needed the brake balance adjusted to the front.

Super excited for this! Bring on Tuesday!

Can you imagine if IMSA goes to the full Nurburgring this season and it starts raining? 50 cars, many of them Le Mans Hypercars will cause the largest safety rating loss in history.

Looks amazing!

This would be so amazing for endurance races. Have your crew watch for weather changes and having to pit to change tire types

The sound is amazing!

of all the early access videos, Jimmy YOUR THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!

Your editor(s) deserve(s) a raise. That La Cucaracha killed me.

Jimmy's sign now updated: " It's okay to MOCK mistakes"

I am greatly looking forward to the recreation of the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix

absolutely brilliant

this is gonna be absolute chaos and it will be brilliant

Editor chan added fake outro and then forgot to add the actual outro lol

Finally I can relive the moment I fell in love with wet weather racing with IMSA and Indycar at Belle Isle in 2017. Just seeing the mist off the tires with being on the edge of control was breathtaking for me. edit: just added more context

Just started iracing a month ago, I have a 4070ti, a quest 3 and Logitech dd so excited for this update

That looks very nice. Im wondering if you notice the dry line getting more grip with time progressing. As far as I know it should be the case as the rubber 'washes away' (or whatever really happens there), though I obviously can't know that for sure because I have not driven on a racetrack in real life

People are gonna start a race with 31 cars and finish with 3 (damaged) car only. No doubt, a month of greatness awaits!

looks really good

Been waiting for this for a long time! First two tracks I'm trying it on: Watkins Glen and the Nordschleife!!!!!!!!!

Guess they better change the A license requirement for the IMSA series back down to B.......or it will be empty after the first few weeks. Wanted to add........you'll notice there were no rain effects on the visor of the helmet in the FF1600. A dev on the iRacing forums said they are still working on how they will implement this effect and it will be released later.

You did a Ben Collins in 1993 at clearways he went of there in his first Formula Ford race but saved it

I was dreading rain. I did a GT3 race at Portamoa and had a blast. Ended up going 4th to 1st with the fastest lab. The last lap I got punted off the track by accelerating on a curb. One little mistake and you're gone.

im so ready for the 24 h nordschleife with rain over some time in the night, its gonna be a fun time i guess🙈

I was playing another game when you said "above 60fps challenge" and had an audio cut out and thought your editor was the best practical joker of all time

The pooling and rivering effects are absolutely bonkers, I've never seen a game simulate the water distribution that fully.

Would be good to have a few dry laps as a comparison for frame rate difference, Im dreading the hit to performance

rain lightd couuld be brighter... im soooooo hyped lol

I WANNA DRIVE IT SO BAD!! Counting the seconds before I take to the track

jimmy would you ever do a video explaining how to get your licenses for irl racing and stuff i think it would be very helpful. i dont know where to start and how to

I wish you had the R and G numbers up in the FPS box - be interested to know if you were GPU or CPU limited.

Has to be said; for the price of iRacing, this should have been a feature YEARS ago. Not good enough.

i'm mostly an oval running guy, but hell, this seems a lot of fun!

Never get rid of that sound board, Jimmer, never

I love how it looks so cool, and it's not even on an updated or modern iRacing track. :D

I really want to see how the drying line works. Maybe try a starting wet track with 20-30mins of drying weather?

I feel like it needs more windscreen effects when you're behind another car. There's the spray in front of you, but the water hitting the windscreen is the same whether you're driving through spray or not.

I'm interesting to see how the track will dry up after the rain. is it will have 1 dry line appear? is how many car on the track will help track dry faster ? is it preset of where on track to dry up first or if every player intent to drive off racing line the dry line will change ?

Only thing I think is missing is interaction of the spray particles with lighting, at least the bare minimum. This is important because IRL a lot of cars have blinking lights behind when it's wet so you can see them through the spray. In iRacing the spray is completely opaque and you can't even see the blinking light, and makes racing behind other cars very very difficult

Looks great - what is the NEW COLLISION IN USE message referring to?

I cannot wait for some enduro steams

I wonder if there will be a dry line that forms if there is light rain?

Its perfect

I struggle enough in the dry

I wonder how this would work for longer oval races. If you can create a scenario to were you are racing to half way. Instead of a full distance similar to certain Midwest races during the summer.

This is gonna revolutionize the Zolder 23, DHR's Daytona 24, and Sim Racing Stewards.

When it is raining at the racetrack, it is good to be in tents.

so we officially have a day/night cycle AND weather, dang

Would be amazing if that was the way that you ended the video. I spat my tea out 😂

Gotta see a video about how the track dries next

Hooray for moisture!!

I already feel my 9400f and 1080 crying

i am big excite!

i guess thats the perfect time to buy an actual wheel for iracing

Why does it say "NEW COLLISION IN USE" at the top? Is there also a collision update?

Multiclass racing, in the night, and then in full rain. Broo its going to be hard as hell.

Will there be rain for pro 4 trucks also I would hope so it makes you track more slick

So they got rain right before they perfected dry tire models? Strange

Man this is so awesome I am incredibly hyped. Can’t wait for the obligatory nordschleife in the wet video (;

iRacing is really becoming so tremendously better. If I had another wish I´d like a series where you can do exactly 1 race a week or every 2 weeks. Once you did your race you are locked for the rest of the week. This would be like a league for open for everyone. In a league you often face the problem that always the same people sit on the top spots. I would love this! And it would give the race a realy significance. Make the races an event. Give us the introductory lap for standing starts, too - even if it is just for this series. And with rain and changing conditions, of course.

Really wish iRacing wasn't this expensive, it looks like a lot of fun.

So, aircraft in cold humid conditions take off in a shorter distance than in hot dry conditions. Do race cars get more down force in the spray/rain?

Anticipating KZfaq being flooded (geddit) with iracing wet weather crash compilation videos 5 minutes after the update is released.

i appreciate that the road surface isnt reflective like a mirror

Be nice to have rain on the visor on the single seater.

it needs some atmosphere. it's like, perfectly clear unless there's the massive amount of spray off the car ahead so it looks kinda goofy. the driving side looks super nice though
