They're definitely there in real life, but I think the iRacing ones may be slightly larger than reality. If you watch this video, you can notice him hopping them in the Esses, but it doesn't launch youas bad as they do in iRacing.

I've seen a SCCA Formula F race down at COTA and maybe it's just relative as they looked this size compared to the small FF in the in car video I seen. Glenn could comment as he was down there at the last PCA race, but I believe he is on his way down there for the PCA race there this weekend.

You will definitely have some catch up Ted but I think after 30 min, you'll be good.

Going to be very intermittent racing for me for the next couple of months. Relocating from California to Oregon. Hopefully get the odd race before I have to tear my cockpit down.

Jim,

What pro racing did you do?

Yes, I really like iRacing for that fact. It is not expensive, it allows you to practice techniques and become better. Sure, the real things gives you the real deal, but when I keep doing the same mistake over and over again, I realize I need to change something and try something different.

I popped in to that session after you guys left and turned a bunch of laps. I even won the race all by myself! I'm finally getting along with the east course and starting to really enjoy the track. I disliked it at first, but I've warmed up to it now.
