Lucas di Grassi? A "real" track? "left commentators speechless", "turn an esports pro gamer into a real-life champion". Laugh out loud funny shit.
"tire wear, exact suspension design, and handling" No mention here of g-forces, something impossible to simulate. On an indoor track, with purpose designed go-karts in a 90 second race.
Race of Champions my ass.
The IROC was, a long time ago, a worthy challenge to compare Champion drivers from different types of motorsports.
Take a dozen production vehicles off the showroom floor, add racing rated tires and roll bars, tune the motors to peak performance and subject the drivers to high bank ovals for dozens of laps. Then you get a real world comparison.
This is mere entertainment. And not very entertaining, in my humble opinion.
