As far as VRC, it is better than I expected. I feel it will keep me in shape on the weeks that I can't make it out to the track but probably won't make me a factory driver also. I didn't have massive expectations but it is more than a game, it is a sim.

The only thing that it is off on to me is the lack of "feel" when a car brakes loose on a sweeper or the feel of the spool exiting the corner. I don't know how we can "feel" the car reacting in real rc racing but you can and there is a lack of feel on VRC, at least to me. But so far I hve 15-20 hours on it and have enjoyed it a lot.

One of the things that is also very important in vrc is the monitor. I don't know if you are using a good computer monitor, but a lot of tvs people use as monitors don't cut it. The response and lag time for this game is very important. I was playing on a tv for a bit, but the feel of the game was horrible. The lag times were too high making the tracks feel like there was a lack of traction.
