yea it was a good read. Shady got me hooked on iRacing last winter too. I haven’t finish my sim rig yet, and the wife won’t let me put it in the office until i finish the upstairs bedroom and all this winter. lol so I haven’t been on it in a long time. I have to say the game is SPOT ON, just like the article said. I played the game around Lime Rock in the Solstice car for a while. Got a good feeling for the track, and how the car responds. I got the chance to go to Lime Rock this past year and ride along with two of the bigger names in BMW SCCA in their prepped cars. They have thousand + laps on this track and are instructors there. We were talking about iRacing that day and on the warm up lap, I told him were my braking points, turn in’s, speeds, where in the game I felt the car get light, etc. He matched ALL the feelings I had in the game, I was blow away. First how awesome it felt to be in the car feeling the track, and second on how damn accurate the game is. ---
