If this argument continues it may end up in a celebrity boxing match! I did just have an idea though, one on one hosted session, Luke V Rich, Skip Barber @ Brands Hatch, bring it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree entirely with Luke. Richard may be fast, but he is FAR from a classy racer. He drives like someone you never want to race against, no respect what-so-ever.

Great article Jameson.

I can’t believe you still dont have an apology for that bullcrud divebomb Luke. It was really a situation where Richard showed his absolute lack of class

Never cared for people who use fake names to bash people, Ball less move on your part Mcballess. Luke chill, looks like you earned your rep and bashing him in public makes you look like a tool and your better then that. Congrats to Richard Towler on his championship.

No real racing experience here at all, the only slight thing I can claim is when i was between 16 and 18 I did some karting during the summer holidays. I did have a pretty good feel for the kart from what i remember but as it was just part of a program to keep kids out of trouble during the summer it wasn’t anything to be taken seriously.

I’d really like to find out one day though

Do you Richard have any real track racing experience, and have any of your iracing skills translated to that?

By: Luke McLean

Luke McLean — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:36:34 +0000

I did apologise for that actually. Check the thread about it

I have ever right to defend myself when its got a picture in this article of Rich divebombing me and than him basically saying I deserved it because I am a wrecker which is a load of shit

What annoys me is you still have not apologised for wrecking me out of the pro series and still have side digs at me by saying if I was a “fair non wrecking racer” you wouldn’t have divebombed me. Everyone who saw the incident knows it was a poor showing, and despite having 2 stupid T1 moves I never pulled any type of divebomb or wreckless manoeuvre on you ever in simracing.

Whenever I have ever made an error in life or sim racing I apologise, and everytime I got caught up in any incident in the pro series I wholeheartedly apologised immediately after.
The true classy drivers out there admit when they are at fault and it shows your character that you can’t even admit it was a mistake and that your sorry. The fact that you genuinely did not give a toss and in fact tried to justify it by blaming me for past experiences says alot.

Excellent interview. Richard still had time to join us for a Club England race last night and we had a blast as he worked his way through from the back of the grid. Richard is not only an incredibly fast driver he has an amazing all round ability at racing. An iRacing star in the making!

Nice interview. Richard has been a leader at iRacing in both results and input to help make iRacing a better sim.

I think the Pro Series win last year was a fantastic accomplishment in what at the time was the best collection of sim drivers ever assembled. That said, this year’s DWC and NIDWC are better still, because they have the top 50 racing each other every week instead of having up to 4 races per week.

Next year the NIDWC and DWC should be even tougher as more of the World’s best sim drivers migrate to iRacing to prove themselves against the best on the most visible sim stage on the planet. I imagine the gap between 1 and 40 will get smaller every year from here on out. Should be very interesting.
