Virtually Indy

September 4th, 2009 by

It didn’t take long for Indy car drivers past, present and future to get their hands on iRacing’s virtual Dallara IndyCar or the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at Infineon Raceway last month.  Even before the August 22nd announcement of iRacing.com’s partnership with the IndyCar Series, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Dallara Automobili, Justin Wilson took a development version of the Dallara out for a few laps around the Brickyard.

Introduction to the World Cup of iRacing

September 2nd, 2009 by

I’m British. Where I come from football (aka soccer) is King, but I was never really that interested in the day-to-day league games the way others seemed to be as there wasn’t really a local team for me.
