    Contributing Writer
    Tim Terry, aka the voice of Maritime stock car racing, fell in love with sim racing in 2004 after he joined the Sim Racing Network crew as a pit reporter. From October 2004 to SRNtv’s closure in June 2007, he’s covered prestigious races and leagues such as the Online 500, FLM Fall 400, Real Racing Online and the DMP Racing League – each as the lead broadcaster for the company. At the same time the wheels started to turn in another direction as he began announcing stock car racing locally. Terry became the assistant announcer at Scotia Speedworld in May 2007 and took over full duties in May 2009 when long-time voice Mike Kaplan retired from the track. Terry also became the series voice of the Parts For Trucks Pro Stock Tour in ’09 and continues to hold down both posts in 2011. He has also announced races for the Pro All Stars Series, Atlantic Open Wheel and Maritime League of Legends tours and has called races at six different Atlantic Canadian tracks. Terry can be heard online at WebRacingNetwork.com, RLMtv.com and OLRtv.com covering sim races. He also makes occasional appearances on PSRtv.com. In addition to inRacingNews, his articles and columns can be read on ScotiaSpeedworld.ca, MaritimeProStockTour.com and his own website at timterryonline.com.

Stop by and say hello anytime!

    I've been a race fan since before I can remember, going to dirt tracks around the Washington, DC area since the early 70's with my parents.  I got away from racing during my school years but in 1989 a friend and I went to a race in Hagerstown, MD and from there my life was all about racing.  I currently live in Winchester, VA and while Dirt Late Models is my favorite form of racing, I also enjoy many other forms such as F1, IndyCar, 410 sprint cars on dirt and (probably more than anything) sim racing.  My favorite driver is Ayrton Senna.
    I was introduced to sim racing in 1989 when a friend turned me onto Indy 500 The Sim by Papyrus.  It took me a few years to own my own PC but once I did, all I wanted to do was sim race. I tried to race my friends as much as possible via modem racing back in the 90's before joining TEN in 1998.  From there I devoted a lot of time to online racing enjoying every minute of it.  I was able to meet a lot of my competitors from all over the world at LAN events and races I went to.  Being able to call some real world drivers friends as a result of sim racing is probably the neatest part of this whole deal!

    I was born and raised in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne where I still am situated. I am currently at University studying for a Certificate in Motorsport and hoping I will be able to achieve my top goal and become a part of a race team. In the sim-racing world, I won an rFactor V8 Supercar season and also was awarded with Best & Fairest award. I am now situated with the best simulation in the world (iRacing.com!) and love every minute of it. I currently race in the V8 Supercar Online Series and finished 16th overall in 2012 Season 1.

    I was born in Adelaide and we moved-out for Angle Vale for a few years until I was about 7 years old, when we moved to the Barossa Valley where I live now. I'm 19 years old and currently traveling back and forth weekly as I’m studying for a Diploma of Furniture Design and Technology.

    I’ve always had a love for racing as my close family did some racing and we were always out at the local dirt track. I joined iRacing back in 2010 and slowly but surely got the hang of it as this is my first experience with sim racing and am loving it each time I race. I’ve won two SK Modified titles (almost had three in a row but finished P2 in 2011 S4), an inRacingNews Challenge championship (2012 S1 Mazda) and was also an AustralAsian Intel GT Series Finalist.

TimsCorner.ca to Feature Live Updates of iRacing Pro Series Races

November 12th, 2011

The most coveted championship chase of the iRacing season is coming to TimsCorner.ca!

Tim’s Corner officially announced Friday that they will be bringing live updates from 18 NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series and iRacing Road Pro Series races to TimsCorner.ca that are not currently slated for live video streaming on PSRtv. The live updates will include text and photo reports as the events happen on the track as the cars and stars of the Pro Series vie for their shot at their respective Drivers World Championship Series, which will begin in February 2012.

Tim Terry, owner of Tim’s Corner and one of the voices of the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship will be one of the producers of the live updates throughout the races and is excited to once again bring the racing to the fans of iRacing. “I wanted to create an extra venue for those who either couldn’t watch the race live for whatever reason or do not gain access to watching the race within the sim,” explained Terry. “Fans will be able to come to TimsCorner.ca and join in the fun five minutes before qualifying begins. We will be doing our best to keep fans abreast on who is leading qualifying in addition to race updates.”

Terry also adds that there will be an interactive segment to the event as well. “With the CoveritLive software we will be using, fans will be able to comment throughout the race. We will also be experimenting with live trivia and polls. Our main goals with this project are to keep iRacers and fans alike up to date with what’s going on at the race and also to have some fun with it.”

The first race that will feature live updates will take place on Saturday, November 12th as the iRacing Road Pro Series takes to the track at Okayama International Circuit for Round Two of their 12 week season. Fans will be able to take part in trivia throughout the race with the overall winner receiving a $12 iRacing Gift Card. iRacing Gift Cards can be used to purchase subscriptions or content from iRacing.com.
