i watched it- pretty dang cool- I also race online in iracing- it’s surprisingly ‘realistic’ - ie, tires wear, you will lose traction on corners- if set up is wrong, you will slide into walls- you alwaysh ave to tweak the car ot get best traction- car damage will affect aerodynamics, track temp affects traction on and on and on it goes- the developers have done a really good job
And the tracks in iracing are very ‘lifelike’ inthat they have all the bumps practically that the real tracks do- for isntance, the old daytona track has bumps in corner 1 that will send your car uptrack if you hit them wrong- and watching the old clips of daytona real races- sure enough you could see them hit those same bumps-
Watchign the pros race in iracing was pretty cool- not quite as good as real thing, but still fun to watch
Like Boyer said at the end “Phew, I’m worn out- this was a lot of work” (They usually have steering wheels that have direct drive force feedback built into the wheels- which will tire you out after 100 laps or more-
The pros were able to try things they won’t in real races because of course there’s no risk factor- but it was cool watching them try lines that they usually wouldn’t during a real race-
during hte shutdown it’s the ‘next best thing’ and it is pretty cool-

One of these days, maybe all of life will be a simulation.
