Ever since online gaming started to become a huge thing people could sit behind a gamertag (screen name) and say whatever the hell they wanted, anonymously. The things you'd hear from kids that sounded like they were 11, was insane. Swear words, insults, racial slurs, death threats.. in almost every match. Iracing is different, where your actual name shows up on the screen. I think Kyle simply forgot that fact. It would be interesting to hear from people who have played other games with him, if that word is used frequently. I'd bet it is.

I've been running Iracing for a few years now to help get me through these crazy winters. As someone who grew up racing, this simulation is as close to the real thing as you can get, without going out and purchasing an actual car (which I'd like to do again once I get back to the lower 48).  It's expensive, but already well less than my bar bill would be if that was all I had to do in the winter lol. The increase in users during this quarantine has been a bummer. Went from a bunch of folks who were serious about racing, and improving their skills, to just a bunch of bored idiots with money that want to play a fun game.

I haven't been in the same race as any pros yet, but my seat time has actually decreased during the quarantine, as it seems like all I do is work anymore.

I will say that racing is making out better than any sport during this shut down. Can't go to the track, boom, turn on your tv and watch these guys race from their living room. A guy I used to race with back in the day is making a killing hosting Iracing events for local dirt tracks around the north east. Pretty wild
