Empty Box takes a look at the iRacing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup

Yesterday iRacing released the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup for their online racing simulator. Together with this new release, iRacing also updated the core sim with 2017 Season 1 Patch 2.

In this talk & drive session, Empty Box checks out the newly released iRacing car. The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is a rear engined car with no traction control or ABS, which should make it a very interesting car to drive. After some laps at Spa-Francorchamps, Sebring and Oran Park, Empty Box shares his personal thoughts.
