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.
