Sims really just give you a feel for the turns and maybe the "ideal" line but not necessarily the line that works for you or your car. I've always found tracks with a lot of elevation changes to be hard to replicate in a sim, like you said, something about the g's/seat of the pants sensation. Also, depending on your rig, you can't really get the sensations of your inputs ie steering, brakes, etc.

Once you get comfortable with the car and traffic flow (seamless point-bys, etc) you'll be right at home at 86cup
Yeah, definitely sounds like a high class operation. That's the plan! I'm just hoping I'll be able to handle it, haha.

Well if you order the Hooked On Phonics books just make sure you spell it right.

If you keep in mind that it's not a contest, all will be fine. You will be exhausted by the last session.

My best childhood friend was asian. He hated playing cowboys and indians. He always had to play the cook.

Yeah I'd definitely be more thoughtful and considerate about it being my first time out there.

Well Google may be spying on me but apparently they really suck at figuring out locations and preferences.


Really Google?
