iracing is ok...we have it with a wheel set up and such, but to get points and move up in rank, etc, it's kinda hard....my fiance says it's nothing like actually being on the track...you start off as a newbie with crappy cars and people purposely run into you and such and you lose points for all sorts of stuff and it just keeps dropping your rating...
it's ok to do some practice around the track so you get used to what you should be looking for when you actually get on the track
if you are a scca member, you get a discount on your iracing membership, though
