Let's just remember that recently Jimmer has lost one of the greatest inspirations in his life, been overwhelmed by the increased interest him by mainstream media, suffered a crushing 3rd lap incident in the 24hr of Nurburgring, suffered some genuinely agonising disconnects from races all on top of the general Coronavirus stress... this win was so monumentally emotional. We laughed, we cried we about bit our fingernails off in pure anxiety. To be along for the ride was an absolute pleasure. And most importantly... DID IT ALL WITH BROKEN STEERING!

Well done! Indy was my hometown growing up. My dad was heavily involved in USAC from 1960-1964 and during the mid '70s, we'd spend the month of May, every weekend, out at the track. It's sad not being able to watch it this month, but I am grateful that you posted this. Thank you and congrats!

[@alancohn3817]

I live in Indy and have been to the real race more times over the years than I can count. I've also had the privilege of doing four laps around the IMS in a 2 seat Indy car at speed.. My driver was Davey Hamilton... I can tell you that the Sim is SPOT ON! Congrats on your win! I know going around in circles for 200 laps might seem boring for most folks however, there IS in fact a LOT of racing that goes into it... The actual G-forces you experience in those cars as you go through those turns is something you HAVE to experience to fully appreciate... It takes a special kind of driver to endure the physical and mental stress of the Indy 500! Aside from the actual driving, there is a whole lot of strategy AND plain, flat out luck that goes into winning...
