IRacing with VR and a rig is literally the best video game experience out there.
But boy is my wallet angry at me
It really is. Everyone should try it. I've done it for hundreds of hours and still think, "THIS IS THE FUTURE," every time I do it.
I was too intimidated to try iRacing, but hope to. I drove thousands of miles on the night-time Tokyo interstate/Shutoko map (mod for Assetto Corsa) by itself. Often in the rain with the mod that allowed me to control my Spotify from inside the car.
Sold my rig when I moved, but hope to rebuild it even better ASAP. It certainly isn't cheap, but my first rig was very DIY (including two-directional physics output to my seat via SimHub, which added even more to immersion, only cost $75-$100 to add a basic version) and I was able to cobble it all together for under $1,000 by waiting for deals, etc...
I should probably get some hours in on shutoko revival, now that Genki is making a new Tokyo extreme racer.
Whaaaaaat. I had no idea, that's amazing. I'm watching info about it now.
And yes, it's a fantastic track with multiple great layouts. It became my go-to track to test new cars, race ideas, or just cruise. It's one of the few times I dipped my toe into multiplayer, as there were some open lobby Shutoko servers where people would just cruise around and it was hilarious and a blast.
