    At 8:26 when you said, "Can you imagine doing this in real life, can you imagine the honor of driving around Daytona at the 24 Hours?", I teared up a little. I had the honor of driving in the 2008 and 2009 Rolex 24.

    Pretty sure this'll just be buried but hopefully you see it; I reckon a "24 minutes of..." series with 60x time progression would be quite fun. 24 minutes of Daytona, 24 minutes of Le Mans, 24 minutes of Spa, 24 minutes of the Nurburgring, 24 minutes of Dubai, and maybe 24 minutes of Brands Hatch even though that's not based on a real race. Pick a car set and make a little championship out of it perhaps?

But things PC2 does amazingly well is VR and the weather system.

      once it is setup properly for your wheel, it feels every bit as good as AC and the graphics blow AC out of the water. AC has better multiplayer however for sure. Moving away from G2x wheels is first step to know what FFB should feel like. After g25.27.29, i tried tspc racer, for the money, it is just miles better in everyway. $240 on sale.
      PC2 also lets you map 'recenter vr' to wheel. This is critical and missing in every other racing game. I use it every time i get in a car, so nice. AC / PC2 / Rally1 and 2 are why I have VR. Wish F1 would release in VR, until they do, I won't buy.

    Back in the days, I used to race in endurance events on the GTP mod for NR2003. There were 4 chassis : Sauber C9, Jag XJR9, Toyota 89CV and Mazda 787B. The league was American, but the field was international and the level of skills all around was great. I remember a 12 hours race at Daytona (probably 2008) where we finished 2nd in a Merc after an epic fight with two scandinavian in a Jag. In 2009, I won the 24 hours of Le Mans with an American, an Australian, a Finn, a Hungarian and my French self :) It was the very first sim that allowed driver change and it was very epic indeed :) Raced a few Group C Enduros on rFactor as well, not quite as epic but pretty good as well.

    IMMERSION: Isn't this what we all want from sim racing?
    This is where PCARS2 delivers more than many other games - only surpassed by GTR2: I never understood how hours are spent discussing minute details of cars none of us ever drove or will drive, while (some very vocal) sim racers gladly ignore the lack of weather, time of day, pit stops, safety cars, ...
    I much rather like to see a complete game like GTR2 than another physics tech demo!

      So far, I have not bought Automobilista. For me, it seemed strange to buy a new game based on the dated gmotor / pmotor engine, which even lacks some of GTR2's and Race 07's features (weather!). Furthermore, I found the whole charade about Reiza's next, truly new, game rather off-putting.

    Funny you mention karting when you race this track. I've actually karted on this track IRL. I'm not sure it still exists but there was a WKA 4 Cycle kart event at the speedway the day after Christmas every year when I was young. In total I attended 3 years and drove 2 of them (1st year I just watched my dad).
    You really don't appreciate how big the speedway is until you're an inch off the ground and praying the sooped up lawnmower engine next to you doesn't throw a rod into your right arm as you turn crazy RPM down the back straight. The walls are HUGE and the black marks where cars hit them seem to last for miles.
    We never did the bus stop, always went straight, but we did the in field. As lame as it sounds, most of the time you're on the speedway you're down on the apron, the banking is slower in a kart. But on out and in laps everyone would go up on the banking just to feel the steepness.
    My first year I spun out on pit exit. It rained that morning (typical Florida), the track was dry, pit exit.. not so much. Second year I spun in the tight right hander after the international horseshoe. While the corner worker was helping me push back on track, another guy spun and slammed into my kart. I thought I was done but somehow dad and Grandpa fixed it up enough in time that I still got to race.
    Needless to say I never became a F1 driver, but it was definitely a lot of fun, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Though like any motorsport, it's expensive AF to stay competitive. I have many memories at the speedway, been to multiple 500s, was there when we lost Dale Sr., section K row 2 seat 2. :(
    I got more stories but I'll save them for the 24hr, lol.
