iRacing GTP Bump Starts First Look!

[@real_Zuramaru]

next up, accurate hybrid system

[@andrewratiu5496]

I don't have iRacing, so what's not accurate?

[@ZIGAG1999]

@@andrewratiu5496 There's a whole reddit post about it.

[@SeanCampbell_iRacing]

@@andrewratiu5496it’s a copy paste of the f1 hybrid, where as in real life the hybrid provides no power increase, the one in iracing is like f1 ERS

[@MrRaphaelLippi]

I asked a Peugeot wec team enginer, and he sair YOU CAN increase power, but not output per Lap, there is a limit over the Lap, more restricted than f1. That means you can use It to overtake, but you will lose Power for the rest of the lap.r​@@SeanCampbell_iRacing

@@MrRaphaelLippithat got me thinking, since imma go to the Rolex next year imma try to ask the team there how accurate the car is

[@backmarkerbob]

The Acura and BMW in particular sound a lot more fierce

[@nwproductions5763]

lol what? You’re talking about 2 V6 super charged engines vs a V8? Most biased comment I’ve ever seen lol

[@SeanCampbell_iRacing]

Probably a stretch to ask but I’m gonna shoot it out there, did the Aero balance change change anything with the Cadillac, ie are we gonna have to change some things for IMSA E?

[@ErwinLiszkowicz]

Erm, why doesn't it use the charge? xD
What kind of magic is that?

[@Lalo14_135i]

Is it out yet? How do you do it

[@AvroRacing]

Does the new Ferrari also have that?

[@colec9723]

How do you get it to work?

[@nwproductions5763]

The Cadillac 😂 👹

[@MichaelWilliams-nj6uk]

1,4,3,2

[@rickyma646]

Hell yeah! Do you still need to clutch to start with this?

[@CatchiestWorm12]

It looks like he has antistall clutch enabled and it remains fully pressed until the engine starts, so possibly not

[@TVS577]

The anti-stall clutch it looks like does it for you in iracing but in the real cars yes

[@MrRaphaelLippi]

Those cars have anti stall clutch anyway.

[@kalebbryan4012]

Hell yeah

[@kaijuh]

cool, finally added it. I kind of take my VR NASA iRacing system for granted since the graphics look way better than this.

[@colemorganracing]

Neat

[@evangel1460]

Im a bit lost, how is this any different than what we have now?

[@DRZMotorsport]

You don’t hear the Cadi start off in hybrid mode before it comes out of the pits??

[@brock005]

Previously, the GTPs in iRacing didn't have the 'bump start'. The engine would just turn on and away you go. Now, true to real life, the cars start on the electric component of the engine before the regular combustion engine fires up and away they go.

[@evangel1460]

@@DRZMotorsport I guess I thought it'd be more than just sound effects, that's all. Now that I know more of what I'm looking for here, I can definitely see/hear it.

[@DRZMotorsport]

@ Got it. It’s all for immersion. One of those things that should’ve been implemented right when the car was released but this is the update we’re getting it.

[@TBolt1]

The Cadillac is ready to invade planets 🪐

[@fifesimracerguy455]

It sounds great but they all sound very similar

[@marijn17s]

i'm pretty sure the hybrid system is homologated (if they choose to use it)

[@schadow0418]

@@marijn17sit is supplied by Bosch and the gearbox by Xtrac as a combo if they are to use it

[@marijn17s]

@ yes exactly. That’s why they basically sound the same

[@MR113]

Hybrids are supllied by bosch. Engines sound similar because of Iracing´s really loud pit limiter sound.

[@backmarkerbob]

They don't sound similar at all, get your hearing checked. They don't even sound the same here as they do in the sim right now before the build.

[@BGR_33]

Only took two years to implement it.

[@stangnutlx]

for all the money they charge you'd think the game would have better car sounds
