Tim Doyle
Contributing WriterI'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!

Contributing WriterI 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.
Dylan Sharman
Contributing WriterI 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.
Stoneman to make FR3.5 test return
November 24th, 2011
Dean Stoneman will drive a single-seater for the first time since being diagnosed with testicular cancer at next week’s Formula Renault 3.5 test at Aragon.
The 21-year-old Briton had signed for ISR to take part in this year’s championship after winning the 2010 Formula 2 title, but was sidelined after being informed of his condition last January.
His recovery now well underway, Stoneman will drive for ISR alongside European F3 Open champion Alex Fontana in Spain next week
“We are obviously delighted that Dean will return for the test with ISR,” said his manager Stephen Noakes.
“Since his operation Dean has been slowly recovering and working on his fitness and he now feels the time is now right to get back into the car and use the test as part of his rehabilitation for 2012.
“ISR have been tremendous in keeping the door open for Dean this year and we thank them for their amazing support during a very testing year.”
Among the other drivers confirmed for the test Roberto Merhi, who will drive for Comtec as part of his prize for winning the F3 Euro Series. Formula Renault Eurocup champion Robin Frijns and Nick Yelloly, a podium finisher in FR3.5, will join him.
Fortec will run Formula Renault UK champion and McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award finalist Alex Lynn alongside British F3 racer Carlos Huertas, while Carlos Sainz Jr will turn out for Carlin.
Sainz’s fellow Red-Bull back teenager Daniil Kvyat will drive for P1 while series newcomer DAMS, running its test in conjunction with Epic, will field Brazilians Felipe Nasr and Fabian Machado – the British and Sud-Am F3 champions of this year – and GP3 race-winner Adrian Quaife-Hobbs.
Two more F3 champions will also take part in the test; Sergio Campana (Italy) and Yuhi Sekiguchi (Japan) will drive for BVM Target.
