Has anyone looked at the spectators in the stands in today's race? It looks to be less that half full. Maybe the Rebel flag issue was the straw that broke the camel's back after all of the other issues.
I've been a member of Iracing since 2010. I don't have a fancy rig but a good PC with triple screens and a good wheel. I have a corner PC desk and mount my wheel to the desktop. Remove it when not racing. it can get quite immersive, the pulse rate goes up and you start to sweat when the racing is good. Best and cheapest way to experience the thrill of racing.
