I watched his racers over the last 4 months on I-Racing TV and heard when he won they were going to put him in the real thing, all I had heard was he had done very well, that was a good read.

A lot of the higher level blokes on I-Racing often go back to the skip barber series simply because they are so much fun to drive in IRacing.

Here is another example of Sim Racer from IRacing moving to real deal.

Don't forget Wyatt Gooden, who won a REAL Volkswagon Jetta TDI Challenge ride after winning the iRacing Jetta TDI Challenge. He got up to speed very quickly in the real car, and even won a race this year!

So yes, it can be done.
