We make a lot of "racing with a mouse and keyboard" jokes at Band of Others, but I just wanted to take 5 minutes and remind people that we generally don't know what is going on behind the "wheel" of all of the sim-racers around us. Online racing provides a lot of anonymity, and we make a lot of assumptions about the people racing around us based soley on their pace, or their iRating, so I just thought I'd post a video of someone with a different perspective of sim-racing.
His name is Mikey Olson, he's been an iRacing member since 2015, he has 57 wins in 670 career road starts, and he has arms and legs but no hands or feet. You can watch him live on Twitch:

Also, reminds me of Glenn Sidman, who we ran with in the GRAsim V8 Supercars series a few years ago, who built this rig for his son..
Glenn operates SimAbility and sells hand controls for various wheels.
