I admit CARS looks better, but it stops there, at least for now, maybe a later update will bring it closer
btw Lotus 49 is coming soon to iRacing, so it will get more fun there too .
But CARS is quite interesting compared to other racing sims out there, if iRacing costs too much for you.
He he, this discussion has pulled cash in both directions then I really don't have financial problems for amounts like this. It's just that I'm not that great a fan of the micro payment model in general. I always get sucked in a buys it all and then the final game costs like $300 which comparatively is a lot for a game I fully agree that force feedback is a must, both in flight simulators and racing simulators. I have a Logitech G27 that I'm quite content with (and an old Logitech Momo in reserve). I have to agree that the Thrustmaster T500RS looks awesome though!

I will be great when the Lotus 49 comes to iRacing as that is such a iconic car. And then we can do a real comparison! Do you know when?
