iRacing has released a short video feature on their partnership with the VW Jetta TDI Cup, interviewing real Jetta TDI drivers and giving us a little backstage look at iRacing’s track creation process.

Furthermore, the video includes an interview with John Prather, the sim racer who made it into the real VW Jetta TDI Cup series by outperforming the other iRacing subcribers racing the virtual version of the Jetta TDI race car.

Prather won’t be the only sim racer making the transition to real racing as iRacing.com will become the primary gateway to the Driver Selections event for the 2011 VW Jetta TDI Cup season.
