There are, ACC certainly looks quite a bit better than iRacing. But ACC is GT3 exclusively. And iRacing is not an ugly game, but to capture and live stream these races with 30+ cars on track they have to tone down the settings a bit. iRacing has its flaws, but it’s the best simulator.

Which is exactly what Red Bull doesn’t need, since that’s one of their strengths. With Honda’s improvement, I can see that they like their chances better in an un-capped F1.

I see your point, but you do have to remember that it must be frustrating for them to build the best car every single year, do everything right that they actually do have control over, and then be third or second best. And then, when new regulations are finally set, it handcuffs them in the areas where they actually ex…
