I am wondering if before I get in a car next summer it would be helpful to learn the track in a simulator, say iRacing? Anybody do it? Ever try an Oculus instead of a TV?

iRacing is pretty darn solid in terms of the physics, tracks, graphics, etc. There's been a massive uptick in participation (check out all the races streamed on YouTube lately which include PCA & POC Porsche club groups) but you need significantly complex and expensive hardware to have a reasonable experience with that.

I can tell you the POC virtual racers are really hardcore serious and competitive, some putting in many hours of practice over the weeks prior to each race. Here is a recent Laguna Seca race for instance.
