Dave Kaemmer and I spent a few days in Indianapolis last week filming portions of the soon to be released iRacing Driving School. The shoot was great, the weather, not-so-much.

DE-AT-CH’s Cinderella Story

February 7th, 2010 by

Four months ago, there seemed two chances for Club DE-AT-CH to win the inaugural World Cup of iRacing: slim and none.  After all, Club Italia had won the first three RSCCs in the Central European region and didn’t look much like conceding the fourth and final RSCC in Season Four of 2009.
