Anyone else watching any of the virtual racing ?
It looks like they are trying really hard to make this stuff work , but it all came off as a little bland in my view .
Mind you , there is some pretty amazing display of natural talent coming from Chuck LeCluck , with the Ferrari driver having won the first two races in this virtual series even though having only had 8 days on the game before the series started .
I tried watching the Nascar virtual races as well , and they are handled a lot better , and frankly , kinda entertaining .
I know it would be a stretch to get all of the boys out to race , but a few more would help them to get the fans in .
I heard Kimi , for instance , isn't interested , but maybe , as they've got time to practice right now , a few more might think of entering .
Anyone who has done any virtual racing knows that one's success is directly related to the time spent on the particular game or simulator , and moving from real to virtual isn't easy at all , due largely to the lack of sensory feedback .
The Codemasters game they are playing , I've read , isn't as good a sim as the platforms IRacing , and RFactor , or is at least different enough to be tough to switch over to .
But , it is the Codemasters game that is the platform of choice , as it is the one with the F1 deal .
Anyway , I know it's not real , but it does have some potential to be entertaining whilst we wait for the real thing to come back .
How are all of you doing out there ?
I helped a friend erect a plexy-glass shield beside his cash register the other day , and caught a pair of wild turkeys on the trail-cam .
My wife is happy , as she keeps winning at scrabble .
All good here .
