Well I think that is very exciting. BTCC at Donington and Class 1 at Laguna Seca are two of my favourite combinations in sim racing. Great stuff.
I even managed to lead a race at Laguna, albeit in split 2. Unfortunately my wheel disconnected (my dodgy soldering gave up) so it was not to be, but it was fantastic fun until then. Not sure I've driven the Class 1 in VR before. It's a powerful experience.
