Does anyone mainly play iRacing but frequent Assetto Corsa? Do you notice a re-learning curve when you go back to iRacing? Do you perform more poorly in iRacing after racing in AC? Not like im top tier that it would really matter, but im curious how different others feel ac/iRacing are to be playing both comparatively.

Honestly it doesn’t matter what sim it is switching from one to another always takes an adjustment period for me.

I can hop in most any sim and be competitive but it takes a bit of time to dial in the last 10% or so to be at whatever my peak is for the respective sim.

Yeah that's true. I'm probably overthinking that bit. Figure it's no different than hoping in a different car and getting back on pace. I guess my concern would be picking up bad habits in AC that are detrimental to how iRacing performs.

Cheers

It’s a fair concern imo, when I sim raced competitively I never played on a different sim because of what you described.

Looking at it these days though I find the ability to be able to adapt much more important. Plus you get to try new sims while improving your adaptability.

If you’re doing track days IRL then the adaptability is one of the biggest positives you can have as well.

I suppose I should say "comparatively" in the sense trying to maintain my 1500-2000 irating lmao so I guess at the end of the day being able to adapt to changes, but more importantly having fun because I'm really not pushing the envelope with 1500 irating.
