Not a lot of return for your money due to only really being used in the European Sprint Series, but you should check out the Porsche RSR. It’s probably my favorite car to drive and the long races make for a great challenge.
I’ve always been tempted! One day I’ll give it a go. I have just purchased a very niche car that I’m hoping to get on track before the end of the season 👀 👀
I have a love hate relationship with the Porsche 992 cup car, but just cant stop trying to master it and have driven it a lot in 2023 ! It brings me back down to earth after trying out the GT3 version !
Great vid. I've been racing the F4 this season and you're right the driving standards are sketchy. I can only assume that this is down to it being D class and is one of the first things people do after leaving rookies.
I think the 488 is at the end of its life in iRacing. It's real life replacement the 296 has been racing since January, just like the new 911. I'm thinking we might get the 296 next season.
Great review, different cars to my usual rides; I'm usually in a Mercedes AMG GT3 and Late Model stock. I think the iRacing physics have got alot better over the year and the newer cars are really excellent. Road racing wise I largely stick to the AI (its really good and much more fun for me than the road racing lobbies) and online lobbies for the Late Model Stock (generally really good online racing). I've tried to get to grips with the NASCAR Next Gen stock car, but that feels a little too ice racing for me. 100% agreed with you about the Porsche Cup.
Cheers Sam - one day soon I’ll be doing a video on iracing ai! It’s on a long list of things I keep meaning to make videos about! And I’ll return to ovals properly one day too!
@@Ben_LaBroca the ovals are fun - the best racing I find is Class D oval racing where there's no yellow flag/ caution laps. It kind of forces people to race clean. Road course AI is great for longer and relaxing races. I'm really enjoying you AI F123 series.
Nice list! Yeah the LMP3 at the moment is a bit of a mess but hopefully as the hype stabilizes, the driving standards will be pretty decent and it will become a staple on iRacing. I'm considering doing the Pcup next season just so I can improve my driving skills overall.
Agree with driving the LMP3, great car. Although I've started to avoid the series as it seems to have become more a race of survival..!! 😁. Literally just bought the Porsche 992 GT3 this weekend and so far so good.
Great video man. I'm struggling to figure out the Ligler I keep spinning under braking but it is such a fun car, I have not raced it because of y spinning but hope to.
If you want to have a lot of fun and amazing racing, get into a good F4 league. I did one for a couple seasons and it was just constant battling, start to finish.
I bought the F3 last season based on the schedule being that good! This season has been very disappointing. Luckily the F4 has picked up the slack a bit
@@MidPackRacer1 last seasons f3 schedule was very good, I just didn’t like the car. F4’s schedule last season was ok, this season has been much better though! But I would like something a little faster. I thought about the 3.5 but it’s not very active
Another great vid. As someone who isn't on iRacing yet, how would you compare the F4 and F3 to their Raceroom counterparts in terms of handling and difficulty to drive?
Great question Matt. I haven’t driven RaceRoom after recent updates, but overall I’d say iracing is generally “better” for single seaters than RaceRoom. They’re both probably a bit more tricky to drive, but more rewarding. And of course damage is a lot more severe in iracing!
So I’ve been thinking about this! I’m not sure quite how to rank them given the season schedules rotate and often you find yourself having to choose your tracks based on what’s being raced. Plus a track varies hugely in enjoyment depending on what you’re driving. What do you think?
Ah I really hope not buddy. I put last two weeks down to a slightly niche track choice and then the spa 24 being this weekend. Hoping numbers are better next week.
2023 for me has been F3 and F4 with a sprinkling of LMP2 depending on what tracks I own. I have tried the LMP3, but to be honest I cant see the appeal. It is a dog to drive compared to the LMP2 and though I may be generalising, I think a majority of people racing and enjoying it, haven't given the LMP2 a chance.
@@Ben_LaBroca LOL maybe there's a Charles Leclerc fan who's so mad about Ferrari strategy and retirements that they take it out on dallara make vehicles on youtube
The fact that the formula ford isnt on here makes me dhed a tear. If you haven't raced it yet, it's a must!

Yeah I think you’re right James - it’s been this way since being introduced. It’s definitely at least a bit better in the F3 in C class.

Dude the next gen really does feel like ice it’s unfortunate car just has way to much power and no chip for TC
Awesome video Ben!
Thanks man!!

It’ll definitely do that buddy, albeit you might crash it a lot at first! Maybe that’s just me though… 😅😅
I feel like it’s already somewhat better than it was the first couple weeks, but a long way to go for sure
Agree with driving the LMP3, great car. Although I've started to avoid the series as it seems to have become more a race of survival..!! 😁. Literally just bought the Porsche 992 GT3 this weekend and so far so good.
I’m hoping the LMP3 series calms down a bit for sure!! Loving the new Porsche - might be my weapon of choice next week…
Hi Ben, i would say you have the list pretty spot on. 👌
Ah thanks buddy!
Great video man. I'm struggling to figure out the Ligler I keep spinning under braking but it is such a fun car, I have not raced it because of y spinning but hope to.
Have you tried changing the brake balance? Helped me a ton from spinning out, I used to spin out going straight and I was like WTF
@VirtualRyders yes brakes lock up too easy on me and I cannot seem to get the brake limit set to 80% like others say to do with the Logitech pedals
If you can drive the Porsche cup car well, your a great driver.
If you want to have a lot of fun and amazing racing, get into a good F4 league. I did one for a couple seasons and it was just constant battling, start to finish.
Great tip buddy!
I really hope they introduce a new f3 car and do a better schedule. Also, is your porsche cup paint on trading paints? It looks awesome!
Yeah me too buddy! And for sure - all my liveries are on TP, here’s the Porsche cup: www.tradingpaints.com/showroom/view/602273/La-Broca-Racing-Team

Do you think the Dallara IR18 still worth it on 2023?
Would love to commission a custom livery. How can i do that?
Can you mabye do best tracks now? Thanks

@@Ben_LaBroca I'd say do it in his often you get to race there and how fun it is to drive
I think the LMP3 series will fizzle out unfortunately, participation is already dropping off and it’s only been a month

So you didn't race the Porsche and Caddy LMH?
The BMW and the Caddy? Nope not bought either yet!
Lol “ferrari f3”
Ha weird! YT added those chapters itself! 😂
