Even with letting the Barber track rubber in, the Barber track model seems to have a lack of grip compared to the real world. For example, in the sim, I have not been able to go through the kink on the backstretch flat, but in the real world I can.
All the blind turns at Barber also seem to be even more of a challenge in the sim world when your only senses are a 2-D view. I have some Oculus Rift goggles to try, but I've been putting that off due to all the fiddly software and cables. I swear I think I'd rather change a wheel bearing...
