Anyone interested in a little iRacing? I’ve never used it, but it looks pretty cool. I think we can race against our friends. I’m thinking about hosting a Porsche-only virtual iRace next weekend, if I can figure it out. Maybe we can get some 914worlders to participate.

I'm planning to get into iRacing shortly, need to rebuild my sim rig with a new seat and PC. It was Xbox One based previously. I think it's really cool what PCA, IMSA, NASCAR, F1 are doing in the virtual realm lately. You guys may have seen NASCAR had a full-blow "TV" broadcast on FS1 the other day.

While it's absolutely not the same as the real thing (no matter how fancy a simulator rig) it sure can be fun and challenging at a way lower cash and time investment. (My whole rig will cost the equivalent of ~1 race weekend but hopefully last several years before going totally obsolete or breaking.) I did actually find my many laps of virtual racing helpful the first time I drove Laguna Seca for real. Shocking how close the overall scenery, braking and turn-in points are. I wish more of the local club circuits like WSIR or Butonwillow had been available over the years.
