Although my primary gaming rig is a Windows machine, it has somewhat inconveniently been moved away from my normal gaming area to a spot closer to the Forza 3 Playseat I picked up for a song on Craig's List.

Bedford, MA (September 23, 2013) The world’s premier motorsports simulation service keeps getting better and better. Recent weeks have seen the release of the Mac OS X version of iRacing and the addition of full native support for the Oculus Rift Virtual headset to the service.

With these new releases, iRacing enhances an international reputation for its state-of-the-art technology and accuracy, together with a fun, easy-to-use functionality that attracts beginners and pro drivers alike.
