Family Affair

August 27th, 2011 by

The family that sim races together stays together, even when one member of that family is in the military, stationed far from home.  That’s certainly the case with iRacers Jeff Hubbell and his son Chad, a Master at Arms in the U.S. Navy. With Chad stationed at the joint Naval Support Facility Anacostia/Bolling Air Force … Read the Rest »

Week Three, Season Three of the iRacing V8 Supercar Series by Bigpond Sport saw the field arrive at Watkins Glen. Reality and its virtual counterpart were colliding in many meaningful ways.

iRacer Profile: Andrea Disarò

August 20th, 2011 by

It should come as no surprise that Andrea Disarò is a big Ferrari fan.  After all, as a resident of the Rho, Italy, he’s almost a next door neighbor to Maranello.  Nor should it be surprising that Spa-Francorchamps is Disarò’s favorite track on the iRacing service.  After all, it would be tough to name another … Read the Rest »

iRacer Profile: Sam Edwards

August 13th, 2011 by

In many racing circles “Squirrel” would not necessarily be a nickname of endearment connoting – in most circles – an excitable, unpredictable driver.  Yet, Sam Edwards proudly carries the bushy-tailed rodent’s handle and although he may be excitable, he’s anything but unpredictable.   In 2011 Season 2, for example, you could have set your watch (figuratively … Read the Rest »

Hello fellow iRacers! I made my debut in Steve Lewis’ 9 midget last Thursday at Lucas Oil Raceway (also known as Indianapolis Raceway Park).  As part of Kroger Speedfest, this race has been around for a long time.  I grew-up coming to this race a lot and if you read the formal press release, you’ll … Read the Rest »

Where There's a Will There's a Way

August 9th, 2011 by

A lot of people have built their own home-made racing simulators.  Technically, anyone who has fastened a steering wheel to a desk has already started to build their simulator, but many people stop building their simulator the day their first wheel arrives.  I am not one of those people. Let me give you a bit … Read the Rest »

Yet another feather in the cap of the world’s best motorsport simulation- to be named the official online series of the biggest motor racing category Down Under. Perhaps “hostilities” is a bit unfair. The camaraderie in this … Read the Rest »
