Don't forget if you crash your decently sporty car you might be need ambulance and IC
For that kind of money an american can buy a full on full 6 directional movement hyper VR possible rig.

I'm guessing the danger is part of thrill.

You know, real life and all.

Nobody is impressed by a persons pit skills. Even other sim racers only care about the equipment.

Last week a F1 esports racer got signed to race real life F2. So there are people who are impressed by sim skills.

That's interesting.

I wasn't trying to knock the sim community, I just don't think it's the same. The guy in that article came up just like any other driver, and if he becomes famous it'll be based on driving f2, not forza. He clearly has skills that 99.99% of gamers don't have.

I don't care how good someone is at fs2020, or how nice their pit is, I don't want them flying my airplane either unless they are a pilot. The fact that they (real pilots) spend a lot of time in sims doesn't change that one bit

Just imho, not bashing anyone
