If i had a decent PC i'd be all over this.
I actually considered buying a gaming PC about 6 months ago for this game alone

Got someone stood on your testicles as you do laps?
Doesn't look much more impressive than GTR, GT Legends or GTR Evolution really.
edit: or is the hyper-realistic one that guy played all the time, then drove a Mazda formula car so well in real life it made him sick?

Its worth it mate, the structure you get with the game, the leagues and prizes you can win there is LOADS of stuff you can do on it.
whats £9 anyway? 2.5 pints?

im still learning how it all works but from what ive fathomed so far..
you start off as a rookie with a 2.50 Safety rating, you have to race cleanly (no contact or going off track) to get your SR up to 3.00 once its at 3.00 you can get promoted, promotions happen once a month so as soon as your at 3.00 you can leave or carry on racing.. if you get your SR to 4.00 you are 'fast tracked' which basically means instant promotion. the SR is done my 'IPC - Incidents Per Corner' on rookie you need to do average over all your laps done 25 IPC to get a SR of 4 on Pro (top rank) you need 170 IPC!
there are 6 classes in total.
on top of that there are leagues which run for x weeks (like the real things) and you compete in them when you feel like it and you get an overall score and then you are placed.
you also have car & fixed setup races and mixed class races & tunable set races.
you are best to just watch the reviews on iracing to get a better idea of what it all means etc
I ran in the MX5 league which was
Lime Rock Park Week1
Laguna Seca Week2
Lime Rock Park Week3
Laguna Seca Week4
ive now moved onto the FR500S Mustang and that has 12 week season with a lot of different tracks
this is a video of the skip barber car at virginia real life vs iracing

another at sebring (notice at 32secs where the cars move in the same way over the same bumps in the track)
