COTA

Okay. I'm planning a race in November at COTA. Is there anyone that rents cars in the area and which SIM is the most accurate?

Project Cars 2 on my PS4 was very very useful to me. There's a time trial mode that starts you right before the final turn so, it's easy to restart and get back going quickly.

I've asked OG Shark if he rents any cars for COTA. I'll let ya know if he does.

What kinda car? Mark Martin rents out GT4 Clubsports with https://www.w2w.racing/.

Ottoline has stuff too, just less racey, https://ottolinemotorsport.com/

And maybe you can persuade OG Shark to let you drive something.

What race is it for? WRL? Asseto Corza Competizione has COTA now too.

Interesting. I didn't consider PS4. I have Assetto Corsa and will consider iRacing if that is the best. I have a $1200 wheel and pedals SIM.
I was thinking of OG Shark.

Project Cars 2 is also on Windows and XBox One. And it's cheeeeep.

Edit: Not only cheap, but instantly downloadable onto your PC or game console. No disc or having to order it.

I think any decent track car will do as it's just to get familiar with the track in person before practice with my own car. This will be for Trans Am. 😏
