Our in-house F1 expert Jeff Smart, alongside co-host Eric Kelly, takes you through a high-octane discussion on the sim racing landscape. This episode, we're putting the pedal to the metal with F1 23's 'Simcade' fusion of simulation and arcade, dissecting graphics, multiplayer platforms, and the odd choice to forego mouse support on PC. Jeff's sharp insights don't miss a beat in celebrating the game's dynamic sync with the actual F1 season, offering fans a virtual seat in their favorite driver's cockpit.
Switching gears, our conversation cruises through the technical bends that shape our sim racing rigs. From the limitations of game engines to the nuances of car physics and feedback, we leave no stone unturned. The spotlight shines on the transition from DIY wooden setups to the sleek 8020 system, with a nod to the versatile and cost-effective American Sim Racing ASR1 rig. We share the thrill of customizing our setups and the search for that perfect tactile feedback, proving that in sim racing, every detail counts to cross the finish line.
As we cool our engines towards the episode's end, we navigate the bumpy track of customer service within the sim racing gear industry. Tackling Fanatec's recent challenges head-on, from shipping woes to support struggles, we shed light on the community's concerns and the need for compatibility and transparency. With the anticipation of F1 24's release fueling our excitement, we look forward to new gaming horizons and maybe even getting Eric on the virtual grid. So, join us for this lap of insights and excitement – it's an episode no sim racing aficionado should miss!
