iRacer Profile: Tony Repussard

March 9th, 2013 by

It’s only natural to associate Tony Repussard with the iRacing Star Mazda Championship.  After all with four series titles and more than 120 race wins to his name, to say nothing of three time trial titles, the Frenchman has been a dominant force in Star Mazdas for the past couple of seasons. These days, however, … Read the Rest »

Get to Know Alan Elwood

March 5th, 2013 by

“I started Elwood Designs along with Elwood Motorsports, our family’s go-kart team with me being the driver. Elwood Designs right now is more of a hobby for me, but I would like to make it my actual business one day… It all really started at an early age when I loved to draw race cars … Read the Rest »

Dream Drive

March 4th, 2013 by

Nothing prepared me for the telephone call I got on Tuesday, February 26 from Travis Engen, an accomplished driver who owns several vintage cars which he drives with great success. I had been a longtime admirer of his 2005 Audi R8 LMP1 car and was constantly drawn to stand beside it when Travis raced it … Read the Rest »

iRacer Profile: Tommaso Carla

March 2nd, 2013 by

It took Tommaso Carla two stabs at supplying his answers for this week’s iRacer Profile.  The first go produced a number of, er, brief (not to say monsylabic) answers.  So much so that Tommaso re-sent his answers with an apology for the first set being a little too “Raikkonen-esque.” While Tommaso stopped well short of … Read the Rest »

The Confidence Game

February 26th, 2013 by

I heard a quote several years ago from one of the two racers I idolize more than anyone else in the sport.  “It’s not about who has the faster car, it’s who refuses to lose.”  From the day I heard this quote to the last time I strapped in the car, and for every time … Read the Rest »

Get to Know: Brad Newman

February 25th, 2013 by

One of the awards iRacing offers is the 10,000 lap award, which goes to iRacers who  complete 10,000 laps in official competition. The driver I interviewed this week earned the award in September of last year and it’s a no brainer why.  Just look at how many starts he has made so far: 842 oval … Read the Rest »

iRacer Profile: Troy Schulz

February 23rd, 2013 by

It might be bit of a stretch to call Troy Schulz the James Hunt of iRacing, but there are some similarities in the arcs of their careers.  After all, “Hunt the Shunt” did not have a particularly outstanding record in the junior formulae of his day.  But once he found his way into Formula One, … Read the Rest »

Practice on Sunday, Sell on Monday

February 22nd, 2013 by

Forget the old adage Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday.  iRacer Richard Brown has never won an online race in a Cadillac CTS-V.  In fact, he’s never so much as started a race in the iRacing.com Cadillac Cup.   But that didn’t stop him from buying a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe from Kelly Grimsley Auto Group in … Read the Rest »
