Racer – July 2010
iRacing.com Offers Online Racing Instruction for Racing Game Enthusiasts BEDFORD, MA – There are books on how to drive a racing car and schools in the physical world where aspiring drivers can get hands-on instruction. Now drivers who race in the virtual world have the iRacing.com Driving School, a modular 16-unit online race-driving instructional package. Nearly two years in the making, the school is available free to all members of the iRacing.com racing simulation service. The school is now live on the iRacing.com member Web site . The first module of the iRacing.com Driving School is currently available to non-members on www.iRacing.com . “For the past 50 years novice racing drivers have learned basic race-driving skills in both informal and organized driving schools,” said Dave Kaemmer, iRacing.com’s CEO and a veteran real-world racer. “But in the virtual world for the most part beginners have just had to find their way by themselves. Many do develop the skills they need, though perhaps not too quickly. And many others, who have the native ability, have failed to learn the necessary skills, gotten discouraged and dropped out of the sport. With appropriate interactive instruction available, drivers will master racing skills much more quickly and have more fun racing.” According to Kevin Bobbitt, iRacing.com’s director of marketing, “iRacing’s aim has always been to duplicate in the virtual world all the significant aspects of racing in the real one.
