Channel your inner Mark Whalberg and become “Invincible” because, just like the Philadelphia Eagles in the ’70s, Lamborghini is hosting open tryouts for a position on its race team. Sort of. The position will actually be as Lamborghini Official Sim Driver but that’s still pretty cool.
Lamborghini is hosting the second season of “The Real Race,” which it launched during lockdown last year. It attracted more than 2,500 entries from 109 countries around the world, so the Italian automaker decided to host it again.
The competition will be broken down into three regions: Europe, America and Asia. The sim racers will compete in traditional Grand Prix-length races as well as in three endurance races and will be awarded points for their performances along the way.

What are room taxes?
Since its establishment in 1983, Real Racine has been, in large part, funded by hotel room taxes â specifically on visitor stays of fewer than 30 days by hotels and lodgers in Mount Pleasant, Racine, Caledonia, Yorkville, Waterford and Burlington.
Those municipalities pay into Real Racine differently, depending on their individual contracts: Yorkville pays 90%; Caledonia 85%; Sturtevant pays 75%, as Mount Pleasant used to.
Confusion and a legal gray area surround what hotel room taxes are exactly, including who actually is paying those taxes, who gets to receive the funds and what they can be used for.
First, a hotel room tax is a tax of up to 8% that municipalities are allowed to collect when someone stays at a hotel in the area. The hotel then pays those taxes they have collected to the municipality.
