Dragon,

LFS is definitely a quality game, however, its a little long in the tooth.

iRacing is much more than just name branded tracks. Each track is laser scanned to within 2 millimeters of the real version. And to be honest the physics are way more advanced. Especially when it comes to the tire model.

Each iRacing car is not just a representation of the real version, they break every moving piece down to the weights of gearing in the transmission to accurately model the inertia of those parts.

Yes you have to pay for iRacing, but it is absolutely worth it. Its more than just software platform. You have designated race times, a ladder system and consequences for poor actions (I've read LFS has now added something similar in the latest build). Paying for iRacing also means constantly updating content, prizes and much much more.

I also guarantee there are more people playing iRacing every day and the quality of drivers is FAR FAR higher.
