With all the extra time, everyone seems to be looking into virtual ways to catch up on the latest racing action. For full sized racing that would be IRacing and for rc racers that is VRC Pro. It's a pretty sweet program allowing you to use your own remote control and get either some on-road or off-road practice. Here is what you need to know to get started.

Where To Buy:
You can pick up the game on Stream which is a site that hosts PC gaming downloads: Steam VRC Pro

Pricing:
The game is $45.00 on Steam with the complete off-road bundle being $60.00 and the on-road bundle being priced at $75.50.

Controllers:

• The VRC official adapter has been out of stock for a while, you can still find them but it isn't easy some still float around on Ebay.
• VSR is selling a USB adapter that boasts higher frames per second which will actually make the controls more realistic. These will be back in stock this weekend for $39.99. VSR Unicorn Adapter
• The last option is to use a wired gaming controller, it isn't ideal but it does work.

These requirements are a little outdated but they will at least get you started.
