Oh yeah I definitely agree with you there. I'm not sure that's what anyone meant anyway. Just like with iRacing, nobody jumps on on day one and is suddenly running up front with the best of the best. But I do think it helps with some of the learning curve at least knowing some of the basics and generalities of the car to start.

I don't think I'm delusional about it at all. If you're gonna compete with guys like that in real life you'll firstly need a lot of money, and secondly a lot of experience because they have such a comfort level with their car already from their time racing that only real racing experience could bring. iRacing would just be a good start to get a very general feel of the cars and the way the tracks develop. At the very least, it's better than nothing lol.

Then why hasnt it happened? Answer: its not the same thing lol. If I win in nascar heat on expert level should I call up Gibbs and say gme a ride?? And McKinney jumps in vlr races and spanks em...

Because apparently you don't know as much about sim racing as you might think! That's OK tho.

With pretty much all the tracks around me closing over the last few years, I have been watching more and more PPV to get my fix. I knew about iracing years ago and thought it looked cool and thought about getting into it, but didn’t for whatever reason then. I ran across the YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago and I am finding that it is helping satisfy my need. I am finding it quite entertaining to follow the few of you that are competing on the WOO circuit and even more intriguing to see some of you posting. I am curious to know how long some of you have been doing the sim racing thing and how long did it take you to get competitive at it? I caught myself looking at computers for a bit yesterday. As bad as it sounds, in my opinion, racing has greatly diminished in the last 10-12 years and as a fan it concerns me what it will be in 10-12 more with the way things are going. I can see SIM racing becoming more of a thing.

I've been sim racing since a friend turned me onto Indy 500 The Sim back in 1989! Followed all of the Papyrus titles (makers of iRacing) and Dave Crammond's Microprose Formula One Grand Prix. Before racing online with others I did many offline leagues and the occasional modem race with a buddy (which was a complete mess with cars warping EVERYWHERE!!). Finally tried online racing with TEN in 1998 and I haven't ever thought of racing against AI since!

I raced N3 after TEN closed for a couple years in leagues and went to many LAN events all around the country (the BEST format for sim racing- eliminates the internet) until that stopped and sorta retired until iRacing came out. Messed around with it a bit until they released the IndyCar and that's the only car I have ran since.

I wish dirt had been released a long time ago but my love for the IndyCar keeps me away from anything else.
