WATCH: Can We Actually Win This? iRacing Daytona 500

Do-da do-da do-do-do-do do-do-do, Daytonaaaaa, let’s go away!

Oh wait, hang on, wrong game…

The iRacing 500 is one of the esport platform’s signature events and took place during mid-February this year. 200 laps of the oval, virtually, online against a full grid of competitive rivals. A tough test, so my colleague Dan and me decided to take part with zero practice – of course!

After playing in an Assetto Corsa Competizione sim-league at present, could I adjust on the fly to the intricacies of iRacing and oval competition?

Watch as there were highs, lows, penalty confusion and… well, watch the video and find out what happened.
