So, we will be taking a tour of the Dallara factory in Indy sometime soon on a Groupon deal we found. They have simulators there running iRacing and if you have the fastest lap of the month you win a Drive & Ride Experience at the Speedway.

As I only have Forza 4, I was hoping maybe those with iRacing and Forza could recommend me something similar in Forza to an Indycar that I could practice in. I only have the original game, without any downloaded cars, so if there is something even better in a download let me know.

Thanks!

I'd say the Acura LMP car would be the closest.

Have you ever tried iRacing? Practicing in GT6 or Forza will likely be a fun, entertaining exercise in futility. iRacing is much more demanding of precision and subtle inputs. The physics are very different from the console sims. I'm not trying to discourage you - but if you are going to be competitive I think you would do well to practice on the sim in the same car on the same track you will lay down the lap with.

Yeah I know its a long shot. Just thought I'd ask. Haven't tried iRacing yet. I want to get my frame and seat all built first. Need some warmer days to get out in the garage and get to a junkyard for a seat. I'll definitely post pics of it when I get it built.
As for the Groupon, I'll have to check.
Thanks I figured an LMP was the best bet.

Both are close in weight/downforce/power, just that the Acura used a similar Honda powerplant as the Indycar.
