Thumbs up Re: A Race Car Simulator That Costs Almost as Much as a Race Car

Thanks for posting the link to the article.

It has to be an amazing experience racing in this thing. I would've liked to see the player having to take numerous type of corners aside from slightly banked curves along an oval, though.

That simulation he is racing is at www.iracing.com, and is available to anyone to join and race...you don't need a $40,000 simulator, you can use your home PC and a decent Logitech steering wheel. Too bad OS or even PC World wouldn't give credit to iRacing.
