iRacing now has offline AI races.

Kunos? You're going to have to up your game. The AI in iRacing is incredible. Nothing else comes close!

I have found the option to make a race against AI with the same class +different skins.

So for 19€, in ACC I have :
- 24 cars to make Cup car races
- 11 tracks (+4 DLCs)
- Rain + night
- Awesome graphics/sound/FFB


for +100 € in iRacing I have :
-1 car (GT3 cup car)
-7 tracks
- No rain
- Outdated graphics/sound
- Subscription per month

I don't regret my Early Access purchase at all ! There is no comparaison today for the AI races.

Is Lando Norris, Max Verstappen or other real life professional drivers constantly on ACC?

Is ACC competitive scenario non-existant?
Is ACC rating system and safety rating good?

How many "on purpose" crashers and very unskilled drivers would pay 100+ USD then monthly subscription just to be a crasher at low ranks?

I am nowhere near good enough to consider myself up to buy iracing and reason why I dont even bother considering iracing to my list.
Maybe when I am at WR pace or close to it I will consider buying it.

I paid $4.95 for 3 months and still feel ripped off when I uninstalled it.
People seemed to get hooked on it though, but I suspect that's due to sunk cost fallacy at work.


AI is evolving all over, but has a long way to go.

Online competitive racing is a hell of a drug. And ACC online is just as ♥♥♥♥ as other sims except iracing or gt sport and leagues only run like once a week usually.

Yup that's the Stockholm syndrome in action

iRacing is awesome. The AI are the best in the business. And, the game has thousands of players. More than any other sim. ACC has a few hundred. Too bad really.

Incorrect.
GT Sport has tons more players, all sorted with a similar ranking system.
"But it's on console so doesn't count"!!
Yeah right.

Anyway, with the latest update to ACC there are huge improvements including new server matching and scheduled races.
Things can only get better.

Finally, iRacing is, indeed, a rip off.
It should either be subscription based with free content, or paid content with no subscription, not both!

You don't have to be in the top 5% of sim racers to compete in iRacing. If you want organized online racing without being required to be in a league, that's where iRacing shines. They have effectively created "organized public races".

While this is true, it's very far from the whole story.

I will stick to online racing only with group of friends (also talking about) and solo practice to improve. (even because random server to race proved to be the ultimate mistake I made, crashers, crashers for no reason everywhere).

I still have a long way to go, my average is some 4.7s to 5.5s behind record for each minute of track and even considering my best here at ACC I am still 3.2s from record for each minute of track (1:37.8 at Misano during race, 1:37.4 at qualify).

When I started at ACC I was horrendous 6.5s to 7s from record for each minute of track and I was already at my limit, thnks to friends I`ve learned a lot but still a lot more to learn, practice and improve.

iRacing is not really about being fast. It's about being consistent and driving within your means. Their rating system will put you into races with people of similar skill (the more races you do, the better the system works).

I am not much into races, I am more into improving.
Races for me are more to put me to test but if I know my pace is way too slow, I would be doing just another solo session practice (a long one depending on the lenght of the race) with more cars on the track and some/many cars overlaping me.

For the races against AI :

-150$ for iRacing
GT3 cup car + 7 tracks (+ subscription per month), no rain, outdated graphics

-19$ for the ACC + EA
24 cars (GT3 cup car + all Blancpain GT3) + 11 tracks + rain+ night + awesome sounds, graphics and FFB

the match is won by ACC, very easily.

IRacing where cold tires are faster than warm, super realistic...
