NASCAR will start allowing fans back in stands Sunday; up to 5,000 fans will be allowed at Talladega next week. NASCAR was the first sport to come back after a long coronavirus hiatus, and it'll now be the first sport to welcome back fans.
When the cars touch during an iRacing race, the reaction is pretty realistic. The feedback isn't the same because you are not actually driving the car on the track. The simulator, though, is constantly trying to trick your brain by making you feel something that you're not.

The Virtual GP Esports Series was launched by F1 as the sport looked for alternatives during the enforced absence of its 2020 season. These are Sunday night events, and a quick qualifying session will set the grid before a short-distance race where all the usual F1 practices are in place.
How do I watch the virtual F1 races online? The races are streamed live on the F1.com website as well as on the official YouTube, Twitch and Facebook channels.
What time does the Virtual Grand Prix start? The Esports event is scheduled to get underway at 6pm BST on Sunday (April 19).
Unlike last weekend, when the race was only available on FS1, this race will be shown in the U.S. on both Fox and FS1.
Event 1 takes place over two nights – tonight and tomorrow – and you'll be able to watch all the race action on F1.com. For more information on the F1 Esports series, including the full team and driver line-ups, check out the official website here. googletag. cmd.

iRacing exists only on the PC platform. For the most part, iRacing can handle a decent range of PCs, but the tighter your budget, the fewer graphical treats like advanced shadows, reflections, and trackside objects you'll see. You'll also need a racing wheel and pedals, just like a real race car — imagine that!
Yes, iRacing is by far the most expensive sim/game out there but comparing it to real life racing costs it is cheap and to me provides a pretty close virtual replacement. I still love to go mess around in Dirt games or F1 codemasters games but iRacing just has a much more "real competition" feel.
The minimum memory requirement for iRacing is 8 GB of RAM installed in your computer. In terms of game file size, you will need at least 10 GB of free disk space available. To play iRacing you will need a minimum CPU equivalent to an Intel Core i5-4430.
iRacing Pricing SummaryAll subscriptions include 16 cars and 22 tracks, our full premium service, and all the racing you want 24/7. If you wish to buy additional cars, they cost a one-time fee of $11.95. If you want to buy additional tracks, they cost a one-time fee of either $11.95 or $14.95 depending on the track.
It may not be the best-looking when it comes to racing simulation graphics, but iRacing probably is, by far, the closest one to reality. It's so realistic that it can stand as the stepping stone for future NASCAR big names.
Virtually any controller with a USB connection will work with iRacing. If you have questions about a particular controller please email us at support@iracing.com. Before you dive into the wild world of sim racing, you're going to need a wheel and pedals.
Is iRacing PS4 Version Coming? Sadly there is no iRacing PS4 version planned at this point – not least because Sony's current-generation console would struggle to render the game's visuals and simulation aspects at anything resembling a suitable standard.

Races run between 2.5 and 24 hours, in both fair weather and dreadful conditions. Long-standing competitions like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Nurburgring, and 24 Hours at Daytona test the durability of the cars, the skill of the drivers, the ingenuity of the engineers, and the speed of the pit crews.
Wheel to Wheel racing lets you run your purpose built race car on famous tracks, head to head against others. You must have a competition license to go W2W racing and our program makes it as easy as possible to get one. High speed autocross events are sanctioned by Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs.
