"Accurancy is the most important thing. In the racing simulation, the corner spacing and radii are exactly right. Bumps, camber changes,curbing, changes in surface all have an influence on the optimal line, and iRacing has that level of detail. It's great for learning tracks and cars, but even if you already know a track, you can refresh yourself, so you are not spending the first session getting up to speed. You can attack straight away".
